My Gnexus is having a problem whereby I cant charge the phone but I can connect it to the PC, phone repair shops had tried to replace the USB and ribbon but the problem is still there, they said its a motherboard failure and it will cost an arm and leg to replace it..
In the meantime while waiting for the Nexus 5 to be released in my country, is there any type of external battery charger, the ones that I can take out the battery from my phone and put it on the charger available for sale anywhere?

Haven't seen one. I guess it would take sometime for the manufacturers to produce a charger for a newly released phone.
I personally wouldn't take out the battery from my phone to get it to charge. I don't want to waste time on waiting for the start of the phone. I use a RAVPower 8400mAh power bank that I can simply connect my phone to it with an USB cable, and get my phone to charge on the go. And I can use it to charge my other devices.

I have plenty of power bank lying around the house, the problem is, my Galaxy Nexus USB port is broken, and I cant charge the phone, phone repair shops have tried to replace the usb port but the problem is still there. They requested me to change the motherboard which would cost a bomb
I'd buy an external battery and an external battery charger.
Nice

Hi,
Since yesterdave I have noticed that my original charging cable does not work.. I charged it with an old nokia N97 micro USB cable with the same charger.
I have the phone only for 5 months now, what should I do? I think with the old cable it will charge more slowly..

anyone??
I'm having the same problem. The cable seems to be a bit loose and it has developed a crack on the micro usb side. When I use the cable to charge, it charges so slowly. If I use the phone while charging, battery % decreases. I have talked to samsung representatives, but because of the crack in the cable, they said they won't be able to replace the cable. I have to buy it for around 8 bucks (Rs 450 Indian). I'm currently using my Nokia e71 data cable to charge with no issues. It charges better than the original samsung cable.
The cables have a warranty of 6 months. So if you still have ur original bill, u can definitely ask for a replacement in case there's no physical damage.

The problem is that I bought it when I visited in Germany..
I dont understand why it happen suddenly, it was working 1 hour before I tried to charge it again.
Just go to any samsung service center with the bill. They should entertain your concern. Check out with a new cable. If it works it's the cable. If it's not charging then the problem may be in the female USB of the phone.

Same problem exactly!
I just ordered the flex cable from Aliexpress. Waiting for delivery which may be a minimum of 10 to 15 days.
Till then I am using an external charger to charge a spare battery.

What you can do is order the part, its $4 to $5. Then you ask a local shop to replace it.

Just change the Flex Cable and still the same problem
Hi! few weeks ago my nexus started not charge because my usb port was oxydised. I solved buying an external charger. Now, if the battery is lower than 50%, the display turns on every seconds/minute. I think this is caused by the broken usb port, (i think that my phone turn on the screen because it seems in charge, but is not so) so i want to know if there is a way that allow to keep the phone in stand by even when i connect the charger.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thanks
Solved it by replacing this part http://img.dxcdn.com/productimages/sku_138786_1.jpg
It is not that expensive (10 euros all taxes included) and it is not hard to replace if you have some basic skills in taking apart phones and the right tools.
Cheers

My z1 compact is not charging through the usb connector and whenever I charge it there is no lightning bolt indicator indicating that its charging and also the stamina mode icon beside the battery disappears whenever I plug it.
I never submerged it in water nor it was dropped or had any kind of damage, the only thing I suspect is the charger I am using, I am not using the default charger rather I am using a samsung charger, 1st I had it checked to a friend of mine who is a cellphone technician and a very good one, he told me that xperia phones especially z series are prone to this kinds of damage when using other charger or class a replica chargers, then I recalled that I was indeed using a fake charger and remembered that during that time there was a sudden disconnection of electricity or sudden blackout and sudden reconnection of electricity, fake charger cant handle sudden electricity changes so it might had and impact on my phone, so I sent it to sony center and waited for 3 weeks (minimum waiting time) then I received a call from them to pick up my phone but it was not repaired because the problem is in the board and it would be xpensive to repair (I have no more warranty) like buying a new unit they said,my phone still connects to my pc and I noticed that when I charge it my battery is not discharging but also not charging fast enough because I was charging it for 24 hours and it only went up for 1%, from 7% to 8%, then I left it for another 24 hours but the percentage is not moving up, I can still connect it through my pc though, who does have this kind of problem?
also will my phone charge when I charge it through the magnetic dock?I dont have any friends who have a magnetic dock so i cant check it and if I will buy one and it does not work then its another waste of money,since sony cant fix it anymore does that mean that my phone now will just be a paper weight,i am really disappointed,hope somebody could help me..tia
I'm using Samsung charger from time to time when I forget my xperia charger and have similar problem but in my case when my battery lvl is up to 98% led turn off and my phone won't charge anymore but when I plug stock charger everything is normal and my phone is charged to 100%

Do you know anyone with a Sony phone and see if their charger works on your phone?
Seems likely that your Samsung charger might have damaged the usb port, but the magnetic charging port is separate.
The cost of a magnetic clip will be cheaper than a new phone or sending it back for repair. Also using the magnetic clip saves ware and tare on the waterproof usb cover that you keep pulling off/on to charge it.

the charger I was using works on my moms z1 and also the xperia charger that came with my z1 compact works on my moms z1..
I already bought a magnetic charger and checked it first on my moms and it works fine but on my z1 compact its just like when I plug it in the usb port,still no charging bolt icon,the stamina mode icon on the battery disappears,I guess it realy is a board problem,my phone is useless now,this is a very bad experience for me and I love sony products,use to have x8 to x10 mini phones but theyre dependable,not like what I have experienced with the z1 compact,I think I will not buy anymore sony products

well its quite simple, other phones are not "sensitive" like this,other brands like samsung,lg even htc and blackberry doesnt have any problems when using other charger besides the charger that came with it,I can prove that because I also own other brands,if Sony's items are so premium then why is it so sensitive like that? are they using cheap parts but sell their products at a high price because theyre struglling you know thats why they sold their vaio brand and will not make anymore laptops,next would be the smartphones,and its just not me,I found out that I am not alone in experiencing this problems,o well,better move on,it has been great sony,tnx
I have the same problem with charging. It start 2 days ago, and I was using only Sony charger, but it just stopped charging. In one moment I heat it up with a hair drier and it start charging , and when it gets cold it stopped. I heat it up again and start charging again. :/ This is more than unusual !!! :/ What it could be?

It will be solved with battery substitution.
Mine won't charge, stuck on 50%, when connected even the red light isn't on, you can see in the image
I bought a used Z1 compact and it didn't come with a charger. Used my LG and wouldn't charge. Tried different leads still not charging using adapter charger via usb port. Began charging using usb on laptop? Then used my wifes apple charger via usb port and charging!
I use the standard charger (the one with 2 'lumps' on the cable, but occasionally another cable (whichever lands in my hand). All ok until 6 months ago, when I replaced the battery . It was Ok for a while, but then I had to start using the magnetic charger.
Today I checked the usb charge point for dust etc., and now it is charging on its own usb charger! I happened to use a needle, but don't recommend it. Maybe a plastic toothpick, or cocktail sausage stick? A toothpick is too big, and might leave splinters.
z1 compact d5503 wont charge or turn on
i bought this model off ebay and rooted it and installed the custom rom and it's working beautifully...until i used it to 0 power. the charger then wouldn't charge it. i waited an hour and nothing, i got the three vibrations when i hit power and up but the nothing again. my solution...i rummaged through my old chest and found another micro sd charger. put it in and BAM the red light at the top went solid. my problem was the charger cable.
So I lost my charger some days ago and since our phone supports proprietary fast charging I wanted to know if there was a way to get a similar charger to work. I tried going to the service center but they don't have the replacement charger. Thanks.
