Major problem...(phone wont charge)

My phone has started acting weird lately and im not sure why, it could just be a bad battery but im not sure until i put another one in it tomorrow. Ive been using myns 2.2 for a few weeks, and cm6 for a long time.
Myns has been setup the same way for weeks, no changes at all. Yesterday i woke up and my phone was dead, but before i went to sleep it had a little over 70% battery.
Its not my charger ives tried different usb cables, car charger, etc. The battery icon will change to charging but the % never goes up....
Any other ideas except a bad battery?

Could always do a nandroid backup, then do a wipe reinstall, just to see if its OS or app related. Then if no change was found in regards to battery drainage,you could go do a nandroid restore, if you found it was just a bad battery all along.

i did a backup and full wipe earlier when my phone still had about 30% battery. Still wont charge.

Turn your phone off, and plug it into a USB charger, see if it charges. If not, try plugging into a USB port on a laptop/desktop, while the phone's still off.
Just a shot in the dark here.

yeah ive tried to charge it every way possible lol. thanks for the suggestions though!

So your usb will power the phone enough to turn on? Can you do all adb type things like the USB is connecting right? It could always be the battery or bad contacts/solder on the phone part

Assuming you flashed new Rom correctly, you can start to look at battery and hardware.
Id start wig battery, maybe sprint store has one laying around they could pop in ling enough to observe its behavior. Maybe buy heap battery from ebay.
I m not the authority on anything but I would flash back to stock and ask Sprint store to help you out. If you walk in with custom Rom they may flag you. I find it hard to believe you have a bad battery already, but I have seen stranger things.
How long does it take to charge? And precisely how long it last? An hour? 30mins?
Oh my bad, I see its not charging at all. Could be bad cable. Bad thing is, if they find that he usb port is damaged they may not warranty that. But who knows.

ok well its been solved. narrowed it down to the usb port. sprint guy agreed and ill have a replacement on wednesday!

have you checked this out

i would give that a shot if you can even get it to come on long enough or a way to get your battery to charge.

I'm having the problem your describing.

Galaxy Nexus battery/charging problem?

My phone has been going insane for the last two days. It will think that it is charging when it isn't plugged in. Sometimes it will cycle between not charging and charging at a rapid rate, causing the screen to turn on and stay on (the screen will normally turn on when plugged in). I've tried various resets, battery pulls, etc. This is not a rooted device. If I pull the battery and then reboot the phone, the battery will be 10-15% lower than when I pulled the battery only a minute earlier. Anyone experience this?

This has been happening to a lot of people. It is indeed a hardware problem. There is a way to fix it, what u need to do it reposition the USB female receiving jack ever so slightly.
1) turn the phone off and take the battery out
2) take a toothpick, knife , pin or whatever will fit into the micro USB slot of the galaxy nexus.
3) VERY VERY slowly make it so that the little shelf like connector is in the middle.
4) connect ur phone and it will work like new. This works for a lot of people. I did this a few hours ago and my phone now charges perfect
RECOMENDATION : when it starts to charge you should restore a stock image and lock the boot loader so that you can get a new phone replaced . This is a way to fix it but this hardware issue shouldve never happened in the first place and it should warrant a return. Let me know what happens!

Agreed.
However, I've detailed re-locking and returning to stock via my guide with a broken USB port if it ever gets to that point for you/anyone.

I don't think "doing this a few hours ago" is really a long enough time to say it works perfectly. The same thing happened to my phone and I have seen several people claim this solution fixes the problem. I tried it and it fixed it for about two days but then it came back, and it won't go away now regardless of what I do with the charging port. I am starting to believe there is no solution but to buy a new phone

New glitch spotted when phone is of and in the charger it wil chrage for like 2 seconds and then the animation saays the phone is full!but 2seconda later its charging again so on and so on... sort of chargingloop..

Same problem here..But I found out the solution after irritation of 3 weeks one day i dropped my nexus and after that instance it is working perfectly fine without any charging.
Its been 4 Weeks without any problem.
Please try at your risk.

i had the same exact issue try wiping dalvik ,battery stats and cache under recovery, fixed all issued...i think this was caused after using the fast ac charge on francos kernal.

i found a solution.
I had the same problem. at the the begining it didn´t charge. i made hard reset and nothing. i ordered a new battery and nothing. Then i see something different in tee microusb port when i compared it with an xperia x10 port. I realise that the tiny plate inside the port was bended. then with a needle i straighten it, and the charge bolt icon returns to life. But after that some times it comes up without charging conection. Then i found some blog post that said that the "Dock Connector Charging Port Flex Cable Ribbon For Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250" was the problem. I found a guide to disassemble an change that micro usb port, it is really easy, i made in 30 minutes, even been the first time. I bought the replacement part in ebay (ebay.com/itm/-/130656140500?item=130656140500&viewitem=&ViewItem) but after that i found many web stores with it an cheaper prices.

Sorry, I have been having the same issues with my gnex, after it hits full charge the charging indicator will flash on and off on my screen until I reach 90% on my battery then it will quit the rest of the day.. always does it after hitting full charge so please read what I've done and still have the same problem...... I have used multiple batteries, same problem, I've used different chargers, same problem, I even bought that part off ebay and replaced the charge port inside of the phone, same problem.. and I even tried all of this before receiving the jelly bean update, and even after the update I still have the same charging error issue... does anyone know of any other solutions? I've done them all I think.

I had a very similar issue (the phone would charge ONLY if turned off, computer would not recognize the USB device 90% of the time).
Turns off that fuzz and dandruff had accumulated at the bottom of the USB port (you couldn't see it) so i took a needle and carefully pried it out, it was a nice sized ball of stuff that was preventing the USB port from making clean contact with the cable.
Hope that helps

I am stuck in the same boat as you. I have tried almost everything but it seems that this issue keeps persisting. I don't have warranty so it isn't like I can give it in for replacement. I don't know what else is there to do

I'm going insane reading these.
Google is your best friend in the whole world. Your best friend. If you're out of warranty, the best you can do is use a pogo dock, or replace, like take apart your GalNex and replace the port with a part bought from eBay.
Or, if you look at some of the other 99 threads about this, some people fixed theirs by adjusting the port with a screwdriver or something like that. Can't say I recommend that though.

I don't think there is a problem with USB port. I can charge my phone via the USB connection from my laptop, but the same is not possible when I use he same charger with wall unit charging. Also If I reboot my phone then I can even charge it via the wall unit.
It seems something to do with some app or battery temp.....

[Q] Charging issues

Well here's my story.
An app was misbehaving which made the phone's screen turn on and off. I was told that it might be lint in the charging port that was causing the problem. Cleaned it and the problem consisted. So I downloaded better battery stats and it ended up being a misbehaving app that I uninstalled and the problem went away. So now what happened was that it wasn't charging. I looked around and searched and most threads led to changing the charging port. So I did, I ordered a charging port on eBay for $13 from NJ and it arrived to me a week and a half later. I replaced the charging port and nothing changed. The phone recognizes that it's plugged in and says charging but it the settings it says discharging and not charging (AC). So then I thought it could be the battery. So I went ahead and bought an OEM battery for $20 which was a pretty good deal. And still, no charging. I then remembered it could just be the charging cable. Stupid me I said. Then I tried my friend's SII's charging cable and yet again no charging.
Now before I sell my phone and go buy a different one, is there anything else I've missed? Anything else that could be causing this problem?

Bump. Anybody have any ideas?

You said you used a different cable. Did you also try a different charger (you probably did)? Did you try AC charging and USB charging?

I figured you already did. Don't have any insights for you I'm afraid, you already did what I would recommend.

The first thing I would've done was to do a factory reset to rule out an app causing the problem cause just uninstaling maby erases the app but the app could've done something that messed up the system. you never know. then I would go after the cable and the charger, then the battery and then the charging port etc

I highly doubt an app can make your device stop charging.

I have the same problem, my phone is charging but when it's unplugged it shows "connected", and the screen turns on and off and drains all the battery... actually I just bought a new USB port and I'm waiting it to arrive so I can change mine... and I'm very dissapointed to read that it won't work ... It seems to be a massive manufacturing defect, there is a lot of people with this problem and samsung is not responding.

Most of the time it's the charging port. Hopefully it will solve your problem, good luck:good:

One other thing to add in. When it's plugged in and i dial #*#4636#*# it says "Connection problem or invalid MMI code."
But I can still transfer files via USB

No, I ended up selling the phone for $300 so a friend of mine of knew what the problem was all about and since he had a crappy phone he didn't really care that it had a charging problem.
I'm about to buy either a Galaxy Note, S3 or One X.

[Q] P930 wont charge even after replacement port

I have an LG Nitro and for some reason it stopped charging. The notification icon shows it as charging but the battery continues to go down. I tried buying another battery as I thought maybe the battery was going out but this was not the issue. So next, I ordered a charging port and attached (soldered) it to the device, this also did not resolve the issue. I am kind of at a loss at what to do as the phone is in perfect condition but will not take a charge. The Nitro is rooted with TWRP recovery and CM 10.1 installed on the device.
I now have a Nexus 4 but was planning on giving the Nitro to my cousin but then this started happening right before my Nexus arrived.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? All of the symptoms point to either a bad battery or charging port but this is obviously not the case.
Thanks

Also, if I plug the device in and hit the key, it shows the battery icon going up and down but it does not charge.

Come on, I know one of you has an idea as to what is happening

A few thoughts...
1. Are you using the official LG AC Adapter? If not, are you using an AC Adapter that's outputting AT LEAST 500mA? For me, in the car using GPS, even with a car adapter that outputs 1.0A, it can't keep up with charging the battery. It shows that it's charging, but the capacity continues to go down...
2. Are you using any kind of CPU under/over clocker? Like SetCPU? Check the settings and make sure you're not using some crazy profile, or better yet just uninstall it and test to see if things get better.
3. How about the USB Cable? Have you tried other cables to make sure you're not using a bad cable?
4. Double-check your solder work. Are you're connections clean, no globs or solder points covering more than a single pin? Connections are solid, nothing loose or gaps?
Good luck!

Thanks for your suggestions. I will look into your idea.
Thanks

I do not think I have the charger that came with the p930 as it got stolen but I do have the charger from my Nexus 4. Do you think it will work? The N4 charger has 1200 milliamp output or should I order an OEM charger.

I think I used the charger from my HP Touchpad which is 2000mA but it didnt work. I may be mistaken.....
I will look into getting an OEM charger.

Might be charging...
Ok I made some progress finally!! I have a 700mA charger plugged in and now the LG logo comes on and then blinks off. :good:
Hopefully the battery is charging and by morning it will be working.
Wish me luck!!! :highfive:

Still blinking on and off. Any ideas?

I can get into download mode and would be able to get in to the twrp but I do not have a backup and my sdcard got corrupted.
What are my options now?
Thanks

The 1.2A from the Nexus4 is great. That should do nicely.
1. Are you ABSOLUTELY sure this adapter from the Nexus4 is working properly (have you verified that it's working fine with your Nexus4)? If so, then plug it into the Nitro.
2. If the Nitro is powered off, then when you first connect a power source, you should see the 'LG' logo come on for a second then go back off. After a minute you can short-press the power button and you 'should' see an animated battery icon that looks like it's filling up. The battery charging icon looks like this (lower quality image on the phone):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Let the phone charge for an hour. Now, press and hold the power button until you see the 'LG' logo, let go of the power button. The phone 'should' start powering on.
When you say 'Still blinking on and off', what is? If it's the soft-touch buttons on the bottom, that's an indicator that the battery is low...So, indeed the issue continues.

I mean the phone turns on, I see the LG logo and then it turns off. Then it turns back on and I see the LG logo and it turns off again. Make sense ?
I can get into Download mode just fine and would be able to get into TWRP but my sdcard crapped out.

I know about charging the device with the phone off (seeing the charging dialog) but the phone keeps turning off and back on blinking the LG logo.

If I still had TWRP on my sdcard, I could of went to the Factory Reset screen and went into TWRP and let it charge from there and then wipe it and install cm 10.1 again.
Is there anyway to load the recovery.img to the sdcard without being able to boot the phone? I am pretty sure I cannot use adb in Download mode so I am kind of stuck and I do not want to flash to stock if I can help it but I will if I have to.

I think its a hardware problem and your phone need to be repaired
I had a sony ericson p990 and had the same problem you said
The repairman told me he has exchanged some of transistors

I tend to agree with nss007, the constant fluctuation of the power/charging going on and off is a big red flag to hardware issues.

Well I actually took it to a cellphone repair company (only one in the area) and they had it for about a week and could not get it to charge. They also changed out the charging port and looked the board over. Of course, they were obviously not using the right charger as they could not even get the LG logo to come up. I am hoping that it is a software issue as the company could not find a single thing wrong with the phone or board. Of course, they mainly fix hardware (broken screens, charging ports, etc.) so I dunno how much experience they have with software.

A few months back, my Nitro fell off my table while the charger was attached. Ever since then, it is doing what you say; showing a charging icon but it actually isn't charging.
Just a few suggestions that I've learned over time dealing with this problem... When you are plugging it in, be sure it is setting where you intend for it to sit. Basically, don't plug it in THEN set it down. I've noticed that ANY movement whatsoever will knock the phone off charge but still show the charging animation/icon. This problem is completely independent of the state of the phone; i.e. what ROM I'm booted in to, whether or not I'm in recovery, and even with the device powered off.
How to tell if you are actually charging; open your settings and go to the battery settings. Where it normally says "Discharging" will change to "Charging (USB)" or "Charging (AC)" if you are actually charging. Even with the charger attached, any movement of the phone will almost instantly throw it into "Discharging" while still showing the animation/icon.
Hope any of this helps.

Phone won't charge, also I think it tries to turn on by itself

Hello!
My phone suddenly stopped charging... and now it is dead... now... like every 3 or 5 minutes, it vibrates by itself, even if unplugged... Anyone heard of this issue?
More info in my last post:
I'm unlocked, rooted, xposed, installed Beanstalk ROM, etc... But I did that months ago (I don't know, 6 months ago?) and it has been working flaglessly, I didnt do ANY change prior to this problem (really, no changes, not even a new appp installed or removed in months)
So I really think it is something in the usb charger.... Maybe I'm wrong and it got bricked somehow... please validate that.
Also, it still vibrating at least once every five minutes. (I woke up all night with it vibrating and now it is on my desk and it still does it)
I just tried an adb wait-for-devices and nothing happens, also tried to reboot it the same way and nothing happens.
Now, I remember that I did something before the phone turned off (battery ran off) I deactivated an Xposed module (latalysm or somethign like that) and didn't reboot it to complete the deactivation. Maybe it has something to do with 0% battery and that?
I really don't think so... But your advice is really welcome.
Thank you in advance.

Did you rooted or unlocked?

My phone suddenly stopped charging... and now it is dead... now... like every 3 or 5 minutes, it vibrates by itself, even if unplugged... Anyone heard of this issue?
Thank you in advance.

You are bricked .
Check unbricking threads...

I'm unlocked, rooted, xposed, installed Beanstalk ROM, etc... But I did that months ago (I don't know, 6 months ago?) and it has been working flaglessly, I didnt do ANY change prior to this problem (really, no changes, not even a new appp installed or removed in months)
So I really think it is something in the usb charger.... Maybe I'm wrong and it got bricked somehow... please validate that.
Also, it still vibrating at least once every five minutes. (I woke up all night with it vibrating and now it is on my desk and it still does it)
Edit: I just tried an adb wait-for-devices and nothing happens, also tried to reboot it the same way and nothing happens.
Now, I remember that I did something before the phone turned off (battery ran off) I deactivated an Xposed module (latalysm or somethign like that) and didn't reboot it to complete the deactivation. Maybe it has something to do with 0% battery and that?
I really don't think so... But your advice is really welcome.
Thank you in advance
Regards!

New data:
When I pluggin the phone to the PC, the PC plays the "hardware detection sound" but then it disconnects too. Maybe it has something to do with the battery or something related?
Thank you in advance, phone is still dead.

Well... my phone is now even more dead... I think the problem is the battery, even if I try to charge it doesn't even get warm, I replaced the usb piece of the phone expecting that it was something with that but no... Now I'm waiting to get a replacement battery.
Anyone heard of the same issue? I've found many people having the same issue, but most of them solved the problem unplugging the battery and then plugging it back again.
Please help!
Regards.

I have exactly the same problem. It's like the phone is not charging at all. Have you tried taking the battery out and then in?
Small update: I've tried 4 different chargers and god knows how many different cables, tried connecting it to the PC, nothing seems to help.

Yes I tried that 2 months ago... But yesterday... I arrived home and tried to charge again, waited about 2 hours, turned it in and pop... I have the phone again (I keep losing phone and data signal, but... come on, it is on now)... So I don't know... I heard many times that pluging in and off the battery and "waiting" seemed to work for a lot of people, but come on... 2 months?
Regards.

I have exactly the same problem. I have replace the battery. The problem still again with the new battery

Wow... so the problem is not the battery... then it is really weird, how can just "waiting" be the solution?
Hugo, how long have you been with your phone turned off?

One month, the time to receive the new battery

That is a lot... I waited 2 months... sorry I don't know anything about the matter... but don't lose faith, maybe it will turn on again someday.... Advice, charge it and leave it charging for... a week? then try again.

I've decided to fiddle with a needle inside the USB charging port recently. After that my phone suddenly was recognised by the computer and started charging and working. After I connect it to the real charger, doesn't matter if it's original or not, it stops working and doesn't even charge from the PC. Then I have to fiddle inside the charging port and everything works again... wtf really? what can be dead?

This seems like a different problem than ours... maybe you should try replacing the usb charging port.

I'm not so sure... It sound's more like I'm either grounding some contacts or I'm somehow short circuiting something. Maybe it could be a broken capacitor or something? That would explain why your phone started working after 2 month.
Well in any case it would be interesting íf somebody with that issue would try touching the contacts in the USB port with metal needle and connect the phone to the PC.
I've ordered a new USB thingy already and going to swap it soon, I'll keep you updated.

I have try to change the battery and the usb port. The battery work one time but won't charge. Can't say if it is the same issue or because is is a cheap battery
Any news NiKiToS?
