hello! XDA. i recently bought an used sprint galaxy nexus. that came with android 4.2.1 stock. tha day i bught it i downloaded 4 apps (duolingo,templetun2,subway surfers and hilli climb racing) so i play these gams few minutes and when battery charge was low i plugged the charger but when i did it the games was running very laggy and after few secound the phone just freezes and reboot but when the SO started it get freezed again and it continuous happening like 10 times until i decided to take out the battery. so i put the battery and turn on the phone but happends the same, it just freeze. so i turned off the phone and go to sleep.
the next moorning the phone turn on good. but this time when i plugged the charger the phone reconize it good and get full charge. but when i decided to usb connect happens the same ,the phone freezes and all the reboot history i told you... but i unpluged and plug the usb cable many times and one of these my pc reconized the phone as a storage device and was charging it i tested 3 different cables and charging blocks.
when the phone freeze it becomes very hot on the top of it both camera and screen side.
after the many reboots the apps, didnt make any sounds neither my musics but when i go to settings/sounds and select the default ringtones they sounds good.
i get the conclusion that was a software or somthing like kernel issue so i unlock/root/ my phone and installed aokp jb-mr1 build 6. but bitter was my surpise when i saw the same usn/chargin issue goin on.:crying::crying::crying::crying:.
My conclusion is: for a reason i dont know .the usb and charger port its works random like 0.01% probability i plugg the cable.
another thing: i dont know if will work. when iplug the phone without the baterry in my laptop it shows a omap4440 on device manager and pop ups every secound.
so i heard XDA forum its one of the best places for help with android devices. i hope you can help me
.

Hey Guys,
So i've done some research all evening here and I've done nothing different than i'd do any other day with the phone and all of a sudden today around 6 PM eastern the phone started acting up. I came home from work plugged it in and it started to lag and then froze, finally unfroze and got that error " Unfortunately, %1$S %2$S has stopped running. I only have the option to click (ok) So I would do that and I thought all was well, turns out this is not the case. When this error pops up it also disables the phone from charging. I unplug and plug back in, the phone starts to freeze and the error comes back. I've been doing some online re-search some people say it's a synch issue with google and to turn synch of, did so, still same error. Some people have said unplug charger, power off phone wait 10 seconds, plug charger back on and boot up, this also did not resolve my issue. I will say that if the power cable is not in the device, it works fine. After about 2 hours of trying different things, I plugged it back into the charger and the phone started acting out really strange, changing from screen to screen and indicating " The dock is connected" I don't own a dock and the phone has never been into dock. I'm using the stock charger that came with the Note 2.
I will say I have TWRP installed and I've been using the JEDI X Rom for this phone without any problems. I thought, okay well none of this is working maybe it's the rom acting up, so I decided to go into recovery wipe all cache & system and re-installed the rom, same thing. The dock is connected, phone freezing and Unfortunately, %1$S %2$S has stopped running. So, I re-did everything again, wiped all cache systems, fixed permission and put the stock rom back on the phone. Now the phone is indicating in stock mode that the "dock is connected" when really it's just the charger. The phone is going into the time out then pops back on automatically all by it's self. Not getting the Unfortunately, %1$S %2$S has stopped running anymore though. the phone is 3 weeks old, and i'm at a loss here as to what I should do next.
Any suggestions, if not, Is there away to erase the phone "call" time so I can get it down to below 30 minutes so I can return this one for a new one?
Thanks,
Well, after hours of reading, I came across this post for an Android EVO phone and it mentioned something about a connect point of the charging port in the phone and said slightly bend the charger cable when it's attached inside, I tried this at a last cause and everything fixed itself, I re-flashed Jedi X and all errors have cleared itself. I find it strange because I'm very gentle with inserting/disconnecting these cables...
Thanks,
I'm not surprised. I've had similar issues with a S2 and other Sammy phones. In fact my brothers Galaxy S as well. He had to get the whole board replaced. I hate MicroUsb. Although its nice to have a generic sync port that is the same across almost all Android devices, this port needs to change.
Just my $0.02. Glad to see you figured it out. Knock on wood my Note2 hasent had these issues yet.

Hi guys,
My GNex has a problem. Many users seem to have a similar problem but theirs seem to be hardware related and I'm pretty confident mine is software related.
It started a few months ago when my GNex wouldn't charge through the wall charger. I was on a trip with my friends so I didn't have access to a pc and wasn't able to troubleshoot further. The charging icon would appear when the phone was off but when I turned it on it didn't charge. I played around with the phone for about two hours, rebooting, Googling for solutions, changing the USB connection modes in the Storage settings. When I changed from Next Launcher to Stock launcher and rebooted everything was working fine again. However I think it was only a coincidence. Then the problem didn't occur again until now and this is why I think it's software related. If hardware would have been broken the problem wouldn't just have fixed itself like that.
It happened 3 days ago but somehow fixed itself again. I was troubleshooting the issue with my GNex connected to PC and installed Nexus Root Toolkit by Wugfresh. During install my phone rebooted on it's own and suddenly USB worked perfectly again!
However yesterday I forgot to charge and my GNex died. On reboot the issue was back.
"Symptoms":
Phone won't charge with any wall charger (and any cable) unless off
Phone will charge through USB in any mode but PC will not recognize it and install it as unknown device.
USB Debug Icon and Connection Mode notification do not appear in status bar upon PC connection
OTG doesn't work and apps like "Stickmount" do not detect external drives
Attempts:
Gently bending the "tongue" inside the micro usb on the phone in case there is a bad connection
Reinstalling drivers on PC
Rebooting device in different modes including fastboot
Using different batteries
NOTES
This problem started after latest 4.3 update. It has only occured after battery completely runs dry. I have 3 batteries (a bit excessive I know) and an external battery charger so charge is not the issue, I just really want to understand what's going on with my phone.
I'm not ready to Factory Reset or replace the USB port yet, those are last resort options to me. Any other options, especially software related, are very welcome. I am on stock 4.3 only rooted and with CWM recovery.
In Testing menu (type *#*#4636#*#* in Dialer) under Battery Settings my phone also says Charging (AC) when connected through USB. Hope this helps.
Been Googling around for two days now so I decided to make my own thread. Any help is appreciated. Sorry for this very long post.
Fixed it! Tried bending the tongue inside the micro usb again, forced much more this time, everything is working again, for the moment
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic Touch for Virgin Mobile I'm selling to a friend of mine. It's been working great for me for about the last year on VM. It was rooted and running Liquid Smooth and then CM 10.1 (both using CWM). When I called VM to transfer the phone to my friends account we ran into a road block because CM doesn't respond to the keypad phone codes VM uses to update the phone, or have the VM hands free activation apps.
I figured I might as well flash back to stock ROM anyway. I downloaded the ROM from here.
Odin got about 75% of the way through the flash and then failed. The phone won't turn off but instead keeps up a persistent splash screen asking me to connect the phone to Kies to do a system recovery (Which I did try and Kies can't seem to complete the connection. It sees the phone but can't connect to it, even after ensuring all drivers are up to date. But then I've never had much success with Kies).
I can still get into Odin on my phone so I tried downloading the .exe ROM instead of the md5 this time, but by the time the ROM downloaded Odin tells me the battery is too low to flash anything (which I believe). Problem is I can turn the phone off to let it charge properly (it pops up with the Kies message whenever I plug the phone in).
I've left the phone plugged into the wall hoping that maybe it is in fact charging, but the indicator light only flashes for a second when I plug it in. I'm working a double shift today so I left the phone at home hoping it will charge so that I can try flashing again, but does anybody have any experience with this sort of problem, or know if the phone will in fact charge?

The easy options are to borrow a battery from a friend with a s2 phone, or get a charger off ebay, or buy a new battery from the store which will probably come with a partial charge.
Sounds like your usb port may have died. That happens sometimes.
I was thinking of borrowing a battery. I have a friend with the same phone, so that's possible.
If the USB charger failed, however, would the blue charging light still flicker on when first plugged in? Because that's what it does. It doesn't charge, but it does seem to acknowledge that it's been plugged in. Also, when plugged into the computer it will still flash the plug me into Kies screen, but now my computer doesn't seem to even recognize that anything is plugged in.

It is possible. I had a phone that the data burnt out on, but would still charge. Just one pin needs to be bad to cause some issues, but not break everything.
Could just be the battery is totally empty too. Getting a known good battery with a charge is the first step to troubleshoot this.
I have encountered this problem a time or two before when testing some of my many attempted multiwindow mods, the device will in fact charge, but it is going to take forever. After a double shift I would imagine you'd have enough charge to flash properly, so try it again afterwards. Also have you attempted to return to recovery? If Odin only partially completed, your custom recovery may still be there and you might be able to use the power off option from recovery, while the device is plugged in, and possibly tricking it into not powering on to the error screen.
WARNING! Everything in blue is simply conjecture and has not been proven to work, it is simply a working theory. If it does not work don't say I didn't warn you.
I am new user at XDA and don't know how to place a question but I'll try my best to do it here.
I've Galaxy nexus with a weak battery. Before it went to a "comma" mode, I was able to access and use the phone while connecting it to a power source. Batter backup was like around 2 mins, or when a call comes, it pools down battery. One day I changed my phone to other phone just to go for a tour I was meant to go. After I came back and connected my nexus again, it didn't responded back. Charging batter using regular charger or external chargers, nothing worked out.
Checked online for a help to see if there is any solution, tried connecting the phone to PC while batter is out and then inserting battery again, or connecting in interval of 3 seconds for a luck. Nither option worked out.
Someone told me to log my issue here, and I hope I'll get some solution to it.
Here is current status:
It is still dead, not responding to restart or even hard restart (pressing power and volume up and down keys)
When I connect to PC the sound comes to confirm that something is connected to the laptop but it doesn't appear in device manager.
It seems like it's not completely dead, but not able to get it back.
Please help me out!
Hello, XDA, Good morning.
So i was using an LG G3 D850 as an access point for a hot spot while my internet was down for a bit, So i connected my PC to my phones WiFi Hot-spot right? K.
Now I had the phone running like this for quite some time, 2-4 hours roughly. During this time I must have used about 4-5 gigs of data on my phone (don't care about the data use :laugh: ) and nearing the end of my abuse on the phones internet use I noticed that the screen doesn't want to turn on, but the phone is still on AND routing the access point still.
Fine fine, so When i decided to wrap it up and shut er' down, i powered the phone off. Attempt to reboot the phone was laggy at best and lucky to actually reboot the phone a couple times in this state. I powered down after failing to boot up a few times pulled the battery then plugged USB in and I Got the normal screen that you would get (can't remember what it looked like) if you plugged into the USB w/o a battery in. Then after the standard battery failed to operate correctly I stupidly tried a different battery, which was 2,600 MAH / 3.8 V Li-ion battery / 9.88 Wh SAMSUNG battery, I know.... stupid.... ( LG battery : 3,000mAh / 3.8v Li-ion battery / 11.4Wh
Now after All this battery sh*t, the phone did boot up once or twice with the above battery, but that was it. Now when I plug USB into phone w/o the battery in I get the triangle with a question mark and a picture of a cell phone and USB cable going into it. Thats the only screen that shows up, except for the green/red/blue blinking notification light at the top left corner! PHONE IS RECOGNIZED in DEVICE MANAGER and ONLY when I power down , cable in PC , hold volume + , insert cable , hold Volume + for about 5-8 seconds til I hear computer sound beep then I let go and I get LGE Android MTP device , LGE Mobile USB Composite Device and LGE Mobile USB Serial Port So i have some connectivity but no screen display unless , plugged in w/o battery. I have tried flashing kdz file for sh*ts and giggles to see if it would do the trick but still the same.
Wheres the veterans at ! Thanks in advance , Cheers!
Forgot to mention , that, Even right now the phone is plugged in blank screen still but being charged and will blink twice every minute or more, green notification light , top left. ***
Actually it blinks automatically or if i press the power button it will blink twice as well. . . What does this mean?!
Is download mode working?

the good news the phone isn't bricked and it can't be unless harware failure, you will need to use the button combo to get into download mode and flash a kdz their are enough threads on how to so I won't write it again

I believe so, There is no display on the phone however, when its plugged into the computer I don't see anything in Device manager except I hear a sound on connection , then when I hit volume + and then insert the USB cable i get MTP driver, Com PORT driver, and CDC driver I believe.

I have flashed a kdz already using LG flash tool 2014 method. But I will try the zip and dll method i guess. If there are other options i would love to know about them.
Refraining from having to short circuit the MOBO and wondering if this problem is as easy as getting a new battery and charger ?
Thanks, Wish i still had my jtag.... zzzzzzzzz
