Phone will charge only if OFF - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Ok guys that's the weirdest thing i've ever seen:
I have a Gnex with 4.3 build JWR66Y, fully stock, unrooted, and i've never installed any non-PlayStore app on it. (lol)
Since today it worked flawlessly, and by flawlessly I mean flawlessly! Never a single problem or anomaly!
Today after noticing that my battery dropped to 17% i was going to connect it to the charger.
Result? It won't charge
I've done some tests and here is what I noticed:
-Phone ON, connected with his original charger = won't charge
-Phone OFF, connected with charger = will charge, but if turned ON, will stop charging
-Phone ON, connected to Pc = usb device not recognized - driver installation has failed, but will charge. (tried both MTP and PTP)
-Phone OFF, connected to Pc = will charge, but still "usb device not recognized"by Pc. If turned ON will keep charging.
Already tried to remove the battery.

Try clear cache and dalvik
Edit: i c ur not rooted, so try clearing cache under settings/storage/cache

Dead Nexus

Hi,
I've had my Galaxy Nexus 1 hour - didn't bother charging it as I wanted to play and set it up [like I did with every other mobile].
Plugged it into my USB port and my PC recognised it - then 20 seconds later the screen went blank and I've not been able to boot it since...
I've plugged it into the mains and removed battery and tried to reboot - no luck.
What's wrong?
how long did you discharge it for???
if you ran it down to zero, it may take a while before the phone actually shows anything on the screen.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The phone needs to build up a charge before it boots up. And it doesn't actually charge if your using it while it's plugged in via USB because it's low powered.

Problem with ROM now I can't charge

I installed the ARHD 7.0.0 ROM on Monday everything was working fine, I also installed the SMooth Rosie MOD and still everything was fine. But today, I lost my phone signal and though oh well i'll leave it whilst I go to the gym, I came back and the bttery ws at 23% (Was at 91% when I left it).
I rebooted the phone and it would get to the lock screen (with no ring) then it would reboot and it constantly done that. I reset everything and formatted everything, I transfered the ARHD 7.0.0 back onto the phone but as I was trying to flash the image, from windows, the battery died, I can't seem to charge it.
All its doing at the moment is flashing the red LED. I tried resetting the LED with power presses in and Vol but it keeps coming back after a few seconds.
I really just need to know how to charge the phone, once its charged I will be able to sort it out. Oh and I can't even turn the phone on at the moment.
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like you didnt instal the boot.img
EDIT: put it in the wall charger for 10-15 minutes and dont touch it...
I put it in a wall charger and its stopped blinking. Cheers
Oh and I did install the boot image on Monday, i've been using the phone for two days, then it just lost the signal and then didn't work. Weird!
Thanks again!
Yeah....just pluggin usb charger and leave it for ~1h and U will see, it's charging.
Few days after buying HOX I was on a party with enabled wifi, async, gps ect. Lately this night my phone goes off and I wasn't able to turn it on. At home I plugged in charger but there was no charging led.
Yeah...thougt the new phone was bricked.
With plugged usb I just left it for ~1h and then...TADAA!...charging led!!!
Well tried charging it with the wall charger. At first the light when solid, I returned to it 2 hours later and the light was off. Tried to turn it of and its blinking again, I can't even turn it on Arghh!!

sprint nexus not charging

Im running the 10-12-2012 toroplus nightly aokp. The phone has been running great but I tried hooking usb to my pc to transfer a photo and neither the computer or phone recognize a connection. I then plugged the stock usb back into the stock charger and the phone would not charge it was at 47% at this time. I tried other usb cables and nothing worked. I removed battery and reinserted and let the the phone boot into the charging icon and it said the battery was full. I restarted into the OS and the battery indicator showed 98% while the battery voltage was 3807. The battery is a stock extended battery. It still will not charge at all. Is this a battery or software issue?
also I am running leankernel v4.3.0 with fast charge enabled
Well I cleared cache/dalvik cache and reinstalled leankernel. It seems to be charging now at least. Very strange because It charged just fine last night on this nightly and then all of a sudden stopped. I did clear everything before installing the nightly yesterday

Galaxy Nexus turns off after Google logo

Ok, so I was transferring some files from the phone to the PC with the USB cable and the phone turned off because I forgot that it was at low battery. When I charged it for 15-20 minutes, I turned it on but it turned off after the Google logo. I thought that it wasn't charged enough so I left it charging for some time but the result was the same. I'm running the latest Paranoid Android and leanKernel. I can enter recovery without problem.

[Q] Charging problems

Alright, so i have an Xperia ZL, bought from the internet. Everything workes seamlessly, in meantime i installed CM 10.2 on the phone. It worked perfectly, until yesterday. It wouldn't charge and wouldn't connect to PC anymore. I mean, when turned one, with charging sounds activating, and connected it to the PC, it would constantly make the sound, the charging icon appearing and disappearing like once per second, and after some time, it wouldnt find the USB cable at all.. Same thing when charging. Tried different USB cables, same thing at PC, same thing at charging. I tried wiping cache, dalvik cahe, wiping data, nothing worked. The only way i can charge it, somehwat, is when i turn it off, and plug charger in. It would show me Free Xperia logo, and then a big battery. SOMETIMES it shows the battery and the charging light, sometimes the battery without the charging light. I noticed it only charges, obviously, with the charging light on.. It's really a pain, and i want to solve it. Any ideas?
Thanks for the attention.
