What kind of puter? You got the right samsung drivers?

I tried on my laptop (Mac) and desktop (windows) and yes they have the right drivers

Well your mac laptop won't need drivers. If it's plugged in and your phone has the settings box checked for "MTP" then it'll be recognized. Did you download Android File Transfer? You'll need it to transfer files.

Is USB debugging checked? If so, uncheck it and try to install the drivers again. If you can't, shoot me your Gmail and I'll help you through G Talk.

Custom kernel? Make sure USB fast charge is off.

Ok! I tried the new cable that came with the replacement and it works just fine... its weird that the cable I have is not working anymore..

"Made in Korea" means it was manufactured by Samsung directly and not outsourced to some factory in China.
If you're unhappy with the signal drops you can try to get another replacement, or look at the threads here on signal drops for solutions

Yeah! I'm looking for ways to fix it.. but the one I had was made in china and was brilliant no drops nor anything. I curse the day I dropped and cracked the screen.. do you think I can just go to the Verizon store and ask them for a replacement

If you're within the return period, they will replace your device no questions asked. If you're over it, it would depend on the store you go to but more likely than not you have a good chance.
Just make sure you're stock and not rooted

I called yesterday and after a couple of minutes well an hour to be exactly they're going to send me a new device. That's what she said. But since today is 4th of July the phone should be here by tomorrow..

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.

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.

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 >=[

Well I brought my galaxy nexus from the crapper

Crazy story but my nexus started having this crazy charging issue which spread into a USB issue no matter the computer they would all say could not recognize This device ..I thought my phone was through because it was the international version therefore I'd have to get in contact with another country to get this resolved *sidenote I tried mobile Odin and made my phone sort of unusable for a while * ..after much debate I figured I could fix this myself ..scouring the internet seeing tons of people with the same problem I decided to repair this because it was not software and it was not gunk inside the port ..so I ordered the part and saw how relatively easy it was to repair it was ridiculously simple and here I was going to pay someone to fix it lol...thanks google and Samsung for simplicity..that being said ill fix other peoples problem if anyone has it hit me up anytime

Makes no sense. USB port is a USB port. Should be no difference. Tried different cords ?

[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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

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 device” 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

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
