My gnex is not charging..i plug in and the battery symbol doesnt show charging..when i check battery in settings it shows not charging instead of discharging.
Another thing is that if i switch it off and plug in the white charging symbol occurs but after an hour when i switch on the battery is at the same percentage..
pls help :'(
Ive had those same issues..I went to charge it on my car charger and it instantly began working. The very next day I tried my hone charger again and it would work..Crazy thing is when the home charger wasn't working for my GNEX, it would charge my girlfriends phone just fine!!

Have had a charging issue as well, and solved it.
Hey there,
my SGN was not charging at all not even when turned off, started two days ago, the first evening it was only charging on one out of my three USB cables (each cable has its own wall charger).
Also my PC with "Win 8 Pro" was not recognizing my phone at all.
My first try was a bit stupid, but it worked, well for one day only. I bite on the USB cable, so the part that goes in the phone was a bit deformed, and the SGN was charging again. \o/
Next evening, I had the same problem again, but this time, non of my three cables was able to charge, even after further deforming tries.
My final solution was to use a needle, stick it in the USB port on the phone and bend the small "tongue" a bit up, so it was exactly in the middle.
My Phone was off and the battery removed. I put all together again and plugged the USB cable back in, it started charging while off.
Then I just turned it on, after booting was almost done, my PC told me that my SGN is connected and it was still charging.
I removed the cable, plugged it back in, several times, also on all three charger with its cables, finally my problem seems to be resolved.
btw. My SGN is from November 2011, so one of the first here in Europe.
I hope this can help some other with the same problem.

I had the same problem, GNex quit charging. Fixed it by using a toothpick to gently move the "tongue" in the USB port up towards the LED (screen side). I used a wooden toothpick as I didn't know what would happen if the connectors shorted using something metal.
Apparently, moving the USB plug around when it is in the port can move things out of alignment. Very easy fix, takes less than one minute. You could use a plastic pen cap or whatever you have lying around as a tool.
If you are under warranty, you could always ask for a replacement.
I had this problem a while back, first only some chargers would work and finally none of my chargers worked. In my case it seems like the problem was pocket lint tightly packed at the back of the usb port. The lint was grey and so tightly packed that I couldn't see any thing wrong. I used a fine tooth pick and got a good size wad out and the charging problem was solved. I always thought that the lint prevented the usb cable to be fully seated but maybe I bent the "lip" while trying to get the lint out

Well, I've left my phone on charge with the adapter charger and it was recharged. Now it seems to work also through usb
I got a new Gnex today because of this same issue. It would randomly not charge no matter what charger is was using. What's weird though is I never had an issue transferring files to my Mac and vice versa.

had the same issue, was charging only on PC-USB, I used a safety pin and removed a lot of lint. Works fine now.

Thought that was lint but in my case even removing the lint it wont charge CORRECTLY -- with the original charger (it was uncharging after some movement).
Then I realize that forcing the usb plug to go more inside the USB port it works. What I did: Removed the black protection because it block the plug to go more inside the phone port. It's now metalic (lol) but not a problem of charging anymore.
I'd buy some heat shrink tubing for that before you cause a fire .

Sometimes it happens to me when battery's charged at 98-99%. Don't know the reason, and what I can do is to remove cable, reconnect it

Unfortunately, all that really does is shorten the battery's life. There is no benefit to forcing it to that feel good display of 100%.

Here's my full experience with my Galaxy Nexus charging problem --
I bought this one eBay, came with 4.1.2. Didn't even test charging before I updated it to stock 4.2.2 and rooted it, so I'm not sure if the problem developed after my software update, or if it always had that problem. The eBayer said he didn't know anything about it. I'm on stock rooted 4.3 now, and the problem persists.
The phone has never charged on any of the several AC adapters I've tried. These have been between 250ma and 1A, and they wouldn't work whether the phone was on or off. It would consistently charge when connected to my desktop computer, but that all changed a few weeks ago when I changed out my computer's power supply. Now, the only one trick I've found is to turn on WiFi, BT, GPS, and put the screen at 100% brightness, then plug connect my computer's USB cable, and it will go into charging mode about 35-50% of the time. This works OK, but one extra annoying bit is that when the battery reaches 100%, it stops charging, and won't start again until I do my little trick and replug the USB.
I tried replacing the USB port, but that didn't fix anything. As far as I can tell, that's the only part that can be easily replaced by a normal person. I'm basically managing this by swapping in batteries charged by an external charger.
Got major issue all of sudden and phone won't start anymore
I have been tweaking with my phone customizing it for like one year and didn't had any problem. I flashed with KitKat gummy ROM and then reverted back to 4.3 stock jellybean using ROM manager installed previous saved 4.3 stock rooted ROM.
Further installed clean master and did some advanced cleaning of cache files. WELL after reverting back I started witnessing some major flaws with battery charging status earlier with KitKat I wasn't using any battery saver app but after reverting back to 4.3 I installed DU battery saver and it would like take ages to charge my battery like 7-8 hrs but I wasn't paying much attention to this. I did some advanced cleaning with clean master, but anyways that won't clean any system files that would hinder the functionality of phone right?Problem started cropping up as I detached my power cable without switching off the supply ( even though I had done this previously many times before) , phone flickered/froze and switched off and won't start without external power supply even though i had 57% battery charge that too showed random status, sometimes 0% and sometimes 50+ %. This went looping for sometime then like it won't switch on even with power supply, just showing for a sec the battery symbol with bolt sign when the charging cable is inserted and going blank within 5 sec . It would show the battery icon sometimes and sometimes no sign just plain blank..
Well I tried different ways as suggested like pushing the small tongue inside USB to middle or attaching to laptop w/o battery and putting back n starting but all in vain, no response.
I am not sure any major fault has cropped in the charging circuit or is the phone bricked? Battery dead?
Guys do give some suggestions.. I have been charging using diff usb cables, no response but just that battery symbol for 5sec n going blank..even though i have been charging the phone is getting heated..but does that imply anything?
do provide some insights guys
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the awesome solution. It worked for me before a week. I faced the same problem and now this trick is not working for me ;(. Please help me out.
Out of the blue I noticed my S3 was charging very slowly, it even was losing a charge while it was plugged in while I was using it. I figure it had something to do with my custom ROM so I reflash, still same outcome. The battery was still holding a good charge, so I figured it was something else. I then went out and bought a new charger, which came with a micro usb cord to see if that helped. Plugged in the new charger while using my old micro usb cord, still same outcome. Then used the new micro usb cord and old charger, charging went back to normal, problem solved! I would of never thought that the cord would malfunction from day to day use after such a short lifespan. Moral of the story, check your cords if you experience the same problem, it could save you some time and money!
I had the same issue, however it did not matter what cord I used. I cleaned all the pocket fuzz out of the charging port, and still no go. Ended up returning to stock and sending in for warranty. Mine had a bad charge port. Is a common issue with the S3.

I have the same issue. The stock charger was taking 6-8 hours for a full charge, I just recently got the 7000 MAH zerolemon battery. It takes almost an entire day to charge that. I bought a different Samsung charger and it charges within 4-5 hours, which isn't bad seeing how my phone lasts almost 2.5 days. They say not to use any other charger for the S3 because the stock charger charges the Lithium ION cells or whatever and using any other charger starts to diminish them after prolong use. But hey, I can't wait an entire day for my phone to charge. I suggest you get another charger. I have a HTC micro sd charger and it charges pretty quickly.

You probably have a dead battery...Someone who has seen this problem before could confirm.
The way you write is pretty hard to read, so you might wait a while until someone does confirm this .
1. Never charge the phone for the whole night.
2. I had the same problem. I changed my charger and now, it is perfectly charging. Try it.

thanx for suggestion, how much do i hav to pay for a new charger??
But you said you left it to charge via USB cable on your PC and it didn't charge properly. If you used the same USB cable with the charger, then the cable might be to blame. You should try a friends cable before buying a new charger.
If the charger does not work with the same USB cable you used to connect to the PC, your battery is most probably dead.

Charging all night isn't an issue.
The battery will charge to 100% then drop to 95% and back up, will cause no damage.
Also smaller and often charges are better for the battery as it slows the formation of crystals so the battery holds its capacity longer.

If you have used 2 different cables to charge and none worked properly, that is probably too big of a coincidence. Your phone has something broken; it's either the battery or the charging circuit in the phone. You should take it to a specialized phone service to see what's wrong. They will also try charging it before disassembling, and if there's nothing wrong with the phone, they probably won't even charge you anything.
If indeed they have to disassemble it, you should ask them if there will be any visible differences once they assemble is back. I had a cracked digitizer on my old One X and took it to service and replaced the display+digitizer(they come together) and, although the screen was new, it did not fit as snugly as before, so you could see light leaking out the side margins of the display.
They probably had many of these phones under repair and should know if this will be the case with your phone.

thnx bro, my phn is fully charged now but ill be visiting service center..
You can use/try every USB charger and cable you have in your house, I also charge my HOX with my iPad charger (only different cable ) no porblem at all. And it's no problem to charge your phone the whole night.
im running ARHD 12.0 [Android 5.1] and facing 340ma charging, around 3-4 hr until full
anyone have the same problem ?
before i use this rom (running stock rom) i also have this problem.
I feel like it takes the phone a little to "set up." When I first got the phone it took forever to charge, now it does it fine within 2-3 hours. I plug it in and I see it charges decently fast. When I first got the phone it was really bad at charging though, I really was about to send it back.
Make sure you use a genuine charger. htc or samsung chargers seem to work fine.
An under powered charger will cause the phone to whinge incessantly about low charging power, refuse to swutch off the screen and waste power like its going out of fashion.
Htc logic.. Something not to be desired..

Old thread I know but most relevant I could quickly find.
Using standard charger included with M9 I could charge from 0 to full in about an hour and a half to 2 hours maximum. Lately, it now is taking 9 to 13 hours with the same charger and cable. Have swapped out cable, no improvement.
On stock, no root, TMO, firmware 2.11.531.19. Charging with unit off, in recovery or bootloader makes no difference.
Any ideas?
Turn the device off and charge it. If it charges in the correct amount of time then you can assume you charger is good but the phone is demanding too much power.

I had problems with charging recently. Very obvious fluctuations in charging and not charging to 100%. The problem was lint in the micro USB. Search YouTube videos on how to safely clean them. It has to be worth trying.
Depends, I've had bum adapters before. Had the same issue with my old Note 3 using it's included adapter. I switched to a different one I had (an LG one) and it charged fine afterwards.
My issues were solved by the marshmallow update.

Hi all,
Recently I discovered my SM-T800 is charging really slow. This happened after my wife was watching Netflix (with a Chromecast) on it. The app crashed (tablet could not be switched off) and was drained completely. Since then the SM-T800 charges really, really slow…
And when I talk of really slow, I mean: really slow. Like more than two days (!) to charge from (almost) zero to 100%. It does not matter if tablet is in standby (on airplane mode) or switched off completely… When I turn the tablet on, it discharges, even when connected to the original adapter. I have tried several devices on the adapter and cables: they all charge flawless (no adapter/cable issue). I also tried another adapter, which did not make a difference.
Does this mean I need to replace the battery now? Because I can hardly use my tablet normally now…
Many thanks for any thoughts, solutions, etc.
At first, try to charge using another cable and charger. Some cables wear over time and che charging speed can be severely affected.
I tried it and it seems to work! Thanks!!

It's pretty easy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnUEMyDs27I
If you open the tablet up check to see if the wires coming off the battery itself are fully inserted into the plastic female connector that makes the connection to the tablet itself. You should not see any of the metal adapters crimped onto the wire ends. I had one of them partially visible and it was causing problems that ranged from slow charging to sudden battery level swings. The tablet would glitch to the point of unusable with 80% battery left. If I plugged it in I could use it, but what good is a tablet you have to keep plugged in. I reinserted that one wire fully into the plastic connector and haven't had any issues since. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it'll be that simple for you, but if it isn't no worries. The batteries are inexpensive and the tablet comes apart fairly easily.
