It is a known issue, your phone charging contacts are dirty, or not properly seated. So,try to clean them and fix their position by slightly moving contacts toward display.
I guess you have tried another charger to be sure, that problem is related to phone contacts only.
You can find detailed informations about cleaning phone contacts within xda by using search button of course.

yeah i had exact problem about a month ago, if you have a can of duster for electronics, simply point it about 2 inches away from the slot and give it a few quick burst, dont get too close cuz the liquid could ruin your device.

i cant fina anything about cleaning phone contacts would you be helpful and give me any kind of link?
There's a lot to be said for clearing accumulated pocket fluff - whether with a can of compressed air, or a bent paper clip.
However, the Nexus is definitely temperamental when it comes to being friends with 'universal' charger cables.
Like most people, I've got any number of wall plug chargers dotted around the house - along with a ones I use to charge from the PC - and some seem to work, others don't.
The charger in the car is the most inconsistent. Sometimes it charges fine (albeit without enough power to maintain sat-nav use for any long journeys) whilst at other times it flicks back and forth between charging and not. Recently, it's become pretty much unusable for the Nexus.
I don't think the issue is with the charger itself - it happily chargers my work phone and my bluetooth headset without worry.
I know that there are variations between micro-USB chargers even though they look the same, and fit the connector OK - and know that people more gifted than me are able to open them up, and do voodoo with the wires to make them work/boost their power output.
Can anyone point me towards a (basic) explanation of these issues?

Just leave the phone connected to the PC for a few hours. That usually reset the charging problem with my phones (Motorola Atrix, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4).

Same thing was happening to me. Cleaned the micro USB contacts, worked for a while, stopped working again. Sent to Samsung under warranty for repairs.

Be careful with the USB connector on the phone. It is best not to try and put any kind of tool into the socket. It is very delicate and fussy, and too easily damaged, and very difficult to replace. It is one of the weakest and touchiest component on the phone. Don't even ug the charger into it ad wiggle it around. It breaks easily. I know first hand unfortunately.

I've noticed after a couple of weeks of use (= quite a lot of charging) that he usb connector as become quite loose. I have to position the cable carefully and then not move the device while charging or the orange charge light goes out and it stops.
I can see this being more of a prob in a car mount than on my desk but it's a pain. Wondering whether this will come under the warranty.
Ofcourse it will. Unless they can prove its user error and/or bad handling. This depends on law per country or in eu.

I know other people who have the micro usb connecter for a long time and are using a cradle, car charger and other stuff a lot (not desire, different device). But no problems at all with the micro-usb connector. Never had any problems with the mini-usb connector as well. Don't see why it would suddenly be a problem now.
It feels quite solid, think it works great on my desktop cradle as well.

Mines wobbled since the start, luckily it hasn't come loose whilst charging, hopefully it won't or its going straight back.
Exact same observation here and it's only become an issue in the past 3 days for me after more than 2 months in use. If I don't keep it still and without even the slightest forces pushing/pulling either side, the USB connection drops.

Having a cradle and carkit with connector myself, and using it for quite some time: no, I don't see a problem.
I never had any problems with charging connectors, ever.
But you get my credits for remembering this, kudos.
As I am currently importing micro usb adapters, cradle and cables I do see quite some differences.
Micro usb connectors from some suppliers are more loose than others. The original is still rock solid here, even after some weeks of use.
The same with different cradles I've tried. Some fit perfectly while others hold the phone in place only with the micro usb. So the weight is all on the connector which means its a bad cradle.
Sure, charging stripes can solve the problem of a bad cradle, but so does a decently made cradle which is actually made for the Desire and supports it properly.

as it`s said in the title, my touchscreen in Xperia Arc S is getting crazy during USB connecting. sometimes it just doesn`t work, sometimes behaves like I`ve putted two fingers on it, but I`m holding only one finger, sometimes just some area on screen works and some not. is there any way to fix that? i`ve got bootloader locked, so i can`t get root. I found this problem in every bulid I`ve tried.
I think this is a charger or Voltage or usb-cable's problem. you can change a usb-cable to try it again.

If this problem happening only when phone is connected to pc and sd card mounted then I guess its app2sd bug something.
If only in charge mode then you cable is maybe "old"

I'm guessing it's internal current leak. There's nothing you can do about it, other than getting another phone.
Its probably because your laptop/computer has an "unearthed plug" (a plug with only two pins) whereas,your phone charger has earthed plug (3 pin plug).
The 3rd pin is to push out the excess current/voltage from your device to the ground and that is the reason you dont experience multiple-touches when you connect your charger directly to sockets. Simple as that.
Or because of capacitive touch screen nature reaction on different voltage ?
0-87809
ya it happens only through the power supply and voltages problem..
it happens many times often...
i noticed that problem in indian trains..that when i did charging in train.it happens
and sometimes the battery also gets severly damaged through it..
so BEWARE..!!
I found the best solution ever....... just sold my Xperia and bought HTC Sensation
but for other people, I just had pre-beta version of Windows 8, which has a looooooooooooooooooooooooot of bugs, I reinstalled Windows 7 and all problems gone. And ether USB devices was getting crazy as well, so that must be something with USB port, not phone.
Howdy guys,
I found that there was a small amount of "noise" on the 5v line comming from my charger. and that was causing the touchscreen to fritz.
i tested using my osciliscope.
you'll prob find that the 5v line from you laptop is dirty. and the arcs internals cant filter it out. i dont know if prolonged use can cause dammage tho but i would advise against it.
so charge it from a stable source.
Pvy.
The same problem happens only when I connect my phone via HDMI to a TV! And it's annoying!
i have the same Problem too if i charge my LT15i with the Charger from a HTC Wildfire. At First i thought it has something to do with CM7 but now , on Arconium its still the same.
Fortunately my phone charges normal on the USB Port of my PC in the Company
I would say that if you get this problem using the original charger in any wall socket, try another charger if possible otherwise have both your phone and charger examined at a repair center.
If you get this problem charging via USB from a laptop or connecting via HDMI to a TV, check if the same problem appears during charging through a wall socket.
Basically you will have to check if the grounding problem is located in the charger, phone or other devices like a laptop or TV.

Yes I work at SE.
In that case it seems that something changes the ground in your TV and PC.
Do you have any problems when the phone is not connected to anything?
Because if it works properly when connected to the charger via wall socket I don't think it's a problem with the phone or charger.
You could try to disconnect some other equipment from the TV when you connect your phone to see if this might be caused by some other equipment like antenna cable, sattelite dish, DVD or Blueray players etc.

Try on a different computer, maybe your computers USB ports are malfunctioning or the GNex overloads them when the phone is on?
Not sure what the problem is. I've tried two dfferent computers usb ports several different outlets and two different cables. The only time it truly charges is when I have it hooked up to my car charger
I'm having a similar problem with the GSM version. I had the original Galaxy S and had to replace it because over time it completely stopped charging no matter what cable I used. Is this an issue with Samsung phones? Now My Galaxy Nexus seems to only charge with certain cables and some cables that it originally worked with no longer charge it. I've tested the cables with other devices and they seem to work. I'm wondering if I should begin the lengthy process of shipping it off to the UK for warranty service. Anyone have a link to a tutorial on how to flash everything back to stock and relock the bootloader?

Resolution?
So today my Galaxy Nexus (GSM) has started doing the same as the OP. I did not charge at all last night on the charger. I turned it off. Took it downstairs to another charger and plugged it in and noticed that it was charging. I figured it just needed a reboot. I turned it back on and left if on the second charger and it quit charging. Now I've moved to a third charger and the same thing is happening....no charge except while turned off.
I don't think I have done anything to harm the phone--the only thing I've ever done to it is swap the battery to the larger version. I'll try to switch the battery back to the OEM when I get home from work to see if that makes a difference. In the mean time, does anyone have any ideas on this? The phone is only ~6 months old, would I be wrong to say that the warranty would take care of this? Thanks.

This is true, the outer pins on a USB are for charging, positive and negative. The inner two are data in, data out. At the very least, a cable will always have positive and negative, so all cables will charge unless there's a break in either positive or negative or both. If there's a break in data in or out, it should still charge but it won't communicate with a PC or something like that.
The issue OP is talking about sounds rom or kernel related. Nandroid > Try something else. Hope for the best.
I've noticed that on 4.1 my USB charging worked fine. Now that I am on 4.1.1 it still charges over USB, but at a decreased rate. In other words, before 4.1.1 it easily charged over night and now it will only charge to about 80%. Does anyone have any ideas why that might be?

Having the exact same problem, won't charge with the original adapter as well as spare adapters, also wont charge through USB. Car charger is the only thing charging it right now.

Could you explain further what you mean by "bent slightly toward the screen?" are you talking on the phone or on the cord? If on the cord, then the whole metal connector? Or just something inside.
I have the stock charger for my Nexus, and just recently it has stopped charging.
But i noticed that if i pushed up on the charger cord that it will charge..this is very annoying. What happened? Did the slot just get pushed out of place? If so, how do i fix this?

Can you send me a link for the one you got?
If you've tried a few different cables and chargers and still have the problem then you definitely should get a warranty replacement. I had the same problem and it got progressively worse to the point where I could hardly ever get it to charge. Something was wrong with the USB header because even if I unplugged it the phone still thought it was charging. There's a flat metal contact point in the middle that can be bent slightly. You can try moving it, but that's not a good fix... metal fatigue and all that.

Bringing this back because I'm having same problem. Dropped it in the sink but quickly took it out. Everything works perfect. Phone charges fine. The problem is it does not want to connect as Mass Storage anymore. I've tried three different roms and all the same thing. I just bought a charger usb port from eBay for about $5. I'm guessing that the problem. My question is, is it soldered? Can't really tell. Advice would be appreciated.

I know this is from a long time ago, but did you solve this? I'm having the exact same problem.
My phone got wet in a downpour. I thought I had it dried out because it initially wouldn't charge, but after leaving it in a bag with silica packets overnight the charging ability was restored. A couple days later I realized that any other usb functions didn't work. I cleaned out the port with WD40 as was recommended elsewhere to help eliminate moisture and remove some corrosion - mass storage still won't work and can't use Odin. I have tried multiple cables, multiple USB ports, different computers, reinstalled drivers. I'm sure none of these options worked because it is a problem with the micro-USB port on the phone.
Thanks!
