When on, you have 0 issues with USB, when pushing/pulling stuff from the sdcard, adb... ?

At first I had issues only with charging.. Then one day while I was trying to copy files to my phone from pc my phone automatically rebooted between transfer.. Ever since then my phone is not recognised.. It's says use device not recognised... Haven't tried flashing another rom yet.. Another guys running the same kernel has reported the issue in the kernel thread

Tried.. Still the same.. The big deal is my phone ain't charging.. While night I kept it for charging while off and morning I ky charged 5percent.. I can't use my phone.. This is the only phone I have.. That's the big deal buddy
Is this issue common for nexus?

Never heard of this happening. I know there was a time that my phone wasn't charging and I switched my charger, and it began working again.

any help?
Try to wipe the battery stat in recovery.
I tried wiping it Ndnit continues to behave this way. Thank you for replying

Did this just start happening with the new kernel? If you are sure it isnt a hardware/battery issue, I would set it back to stock and see if that fixes it. Hopefully its just a bad combination of kernel/rom. Good luck !
You know what it might be the kernal I using the Trinity kernal experimental 537. I'm flash back to the stable version. See if that helps.

I had a odd quirk earlier today. My phone showed around 40-55% the suddenly died. I turned it back on and saw 8% left.. hasn't happened again but was strange.

I have never gone into any such issues like this b4...
If i feel like battery drain or something like tat.. I do wipe cache and dalvik and install the ROM and fix permission in CWM...
Then it will be back again..
Its my Daily driver. So most of the time i will be on Calls and msgs and also Wifi and bluetooth will be on 24/7
Auto Sync on..
My Battery will Remain till nxt day morning and still i will be having 25~30% left out...

Phone won't sleep

My phone won't sleep for more than 3 seconds. Its driving me insane!!! I press the power button, 1-3 second later it'll just wake up alone. Its SO frustrating. I've bought different batteries, changed ROMs. Everything. It just won't sleep! I wanna throw this thing out the window!! >=[ i cant take it anymore :banghead:
Anyone have these issues??
Also to note. My phones one of those infamous "always charging" issues and it won't charge via usb

Idk I bought t from someone on craigslist. How do I find out?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Fast charge does exactly that.. charges fast lol.. its an option in most custom ROMs now.. eg. When ur gnex is connected to a PC in file transfer mode it doesn't charge very fast. But set it to fast charge and it turns off the connection to PC and charges almost as quick as a wall charger..
As for the warranty.. Samsung should be able to tell you or the original bill of sale that the guy from Craig's list should have given you
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Just call Samsung. Keep in mind if it is an international one you have no warranty.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Theres an option somewhere saying stay awake when charging
I believe you have a fault charging port, and best solution would be to send a warrant claim .
You could try to clean the charging port with a q-tip, and check if any of the pins are out of place.
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
Thanks guys! So if I call they'll know I'm not original owner right? And yes its unlocked gem international version
This phone has so many problems I literally can't take it anymore >=[
Makes me hate Samsung!

[Q] Galaxy Nexus not charging

My phone isn't charging at all.
In an attempt to charge, I turned it off and plugged in the charger. The charging animation did come up bit it would keep on coming up (like it's in a loop) and my phone still won't actually charge.
PC wasn't recognizing the phone either. Was saying that the USB device is not recognized.
I tried pushing up the metal inside the USB slot too. Not working. Maybe I haven't done that correctly.
What exactly could be the issue? The fact that the screen shows the charging animation when phone is off makes me feel that the USB slot may not really be faulty. But even though the animation comes, it vanishes before it should be complete (ie it vanishes before the battery icon is filled with white) and starts the animation from the beginning.
For ****s, flash the stock image, but it really sounds like faulty.... Something, try other USB bricks and cables.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Tried different cables. It's the same.
I can't flash the factory image either but my battery is completely dead now and I need to charge it to boot the phone up. And to be honest, I don't think flashing stock will really help.
had this issue as well, ended up just getting a replacement. Figured it was hardware issue. couldn't ever get it fixed
Wow!! Suddenly everything is working. Just kept the phone idle in the drawer with the battery taken out for around 30 minutes. Connected the charger and it's working fine.
Even though is temporarily fixed. Its a USB port problem. Mine has the same. I just use an external charger.

The actual problem is the mid board. I had that same problem. what you need to do is get the mid board replace inside of the phone.

Had the same issue some days back... Some days it charged and some days it won't charge at all.. While it's off it says its charging but it actually isn't .. Did some reading n found out that the USB flex port was gone.. Replaced it and everything fine now...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
How much does a USB flex port cost? I'll need it in case the problem occurs again.

Yep, I am facing the same and this issue seems to be going around even for Nexus 4. The problem lies around 4.3 update.

Try these steps but none of them help. The only way to charge your phone at the moment is to switch it off, wait a few seconds, connect charger and see that charging animation starts. Now you can switch on the phone and the phone almost everytime continues charging.
I have no idea what causes this and I hope someone can pin the fault somewhere...but no cigar so far.

I think the contrary. It is software issue. Nexus 4 users are worst effected by it. And no one seems to have a clue. Its just known that it is restricted to 4.3 only.
Can you link the Nexus 4 thread please?

There are half a dozen more and most of the people have given up.
I downgraded to 4.2.2 and still, the phone doesn't charge. Its a pain in the arse.
I guess I should just go back to 4.3 and wait for a fix since downgrading didn't fix the issue, this is a bummer to say the least
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
This may be a dumb question but would this have anything to do with not having the 4.3 boot loader??? I didn't install it, my understanding was it wasn't necessary on the Verizon gnex
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
OK update I flashed back to 4.3 and went into storage and unchecked "connect as media deviceā€ and so far it is charging OK from all sources, only problem I still have is the the charging indicator still flashes on and of when unplugged

Just try to install battery widget reborn
I dnt knw if its gonna work but after installing this my phn showed charging all the time
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
OK here is an update, I have cleaned out my port with a small screwdriver from an eyeglass repair kit, used some compressed air and a little bit of electrical contact cleaner and gently raised up the charging port a bit ( to where it was originally, mine was bent down a bit ) and bam! So far its working again like a charm

Weird battery problem

Ok so I am on frosty v8 rom 4.2.1 I am using saber kernel 45.3 I have tried recalibration of the battery but for some reason when I am charging my phone now it says its charging on the lockscreen but the phone is still dropping power. So I installed battery monitor pro and I have noticed that it says its discharging but while plugged in but the phone isnt running anything in the background.
Will upload some pictures
I think it might be the battery or the charging cable.

He uses saber kernel. And I am using it. But I dont think its rom related. Or kernel related.

It's a tricky scenario. ..
I posted my own observation below yours ...
I get drainage while charging at a low battery% especially while using phone at same time .. This shouldn't be it's like low battery charge% is overriding the charging capabilities.
A phone should gain % while charging regardless of how you consume power least I'd think.
I wanna test this discharge/ charge theory while my phones at 80-90%.

now its really weird the phone is ice cold like 25degree, and the battery monitor pro app says the phone is charging not discharging but it says 0.0%/hr and the percentage is not moving up.. very confused.
I really dont think its rom related. Because I have been using the same rom for the last 10 months.

[Q] Charging Issues

I've been having issues the last few days charging my Sprint Galaxy s3. When plugged in, the phone will recognized that it should be charging, but the battery will not charge. When turned off and plugged in, it charges very slowly, maybe 1 percent every half an hour. I've tried many different USB cables, but that does not seem to be the issue as the same cables charged my Nexus 7 just fine. I had the battery tested at the sprint store, and they told me that it was fine. Anybody have some insight to help me out?

Sorry for not being clear, but I meant to say I had to get my phone replaced. The sprint tech people tried fixing it but their fix only worked for a day.
