My Galaxy Nexus goes crazy (battery/charging issue)

Hi everyone (and sorry for my bad english) !
Since some days my GSM Galaxy Nexus is anoying me with a problem I can't understand.
At random moments, my GN thinks he is charging but he isn't even plugged !
The indicator in the notification bar shows the battery is in charge and all the phone believes he is charging.
Other problème, the charging indicatore comes and goes again and again and again, so the scree goes on everytime the GN is "plugged in".
My battery goes down at the speed of light this way ...
I tried to wipe, uninstall potential apps that could cause the issue, changing rom, changing kernel ... It still happening but not every time. Often it comes when the battery is under 50% or arround. I also have battery drops when I reboot the phone, like if the battery wasn't correctly calibrate ...
If I reboot the phone, the problem still here, if i get the battery off and then put it back and reboot the phone it works normaly ... for a indeterminate time ...
This problem make me crazy, is anyone got a solution ?
Thanks for all.

Anyone can help please ?

I would definitely demand a replacement battery. For me it seems like the battery is broken, therefore it's a warranty issue. If the problem still exists, it must be the hardware of the phone itself. I don't think it's a software problem, since you wiped, changed rom and even the kernel.
So demand a replacement of the battery!

Thanks for your answer ! I'll try this but I don't think samsung customer support will send me a replacement battery like that, they will ask me to send back the phone I think.

I recently had the same issue... here's what fixed it for me. I took the battery out and left the phone plugged into the outlet. Let it sit. I then installed the battery and let it finish its charge while the phone was off. I then took the battery out, unplugged the charger from the phone, and reinserted battery. Power on, VOILA! Mine was back to normal. Hope this helps.

Thanks for helping ! I'll try this
I just saw that I'm not alone in this case : http://code.google.com/p/android/is...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=23789
This issue is considerated as a medium priority, I hope for a fix !

I have the exact same problem, and have also commented on the issue at code.google.com. I have also tried "everything". Changed ROM, kernel, wiped battery stat, even let it fully charge while off. Still the same problem where it show as charging in notification bar when unplugged.. and when it have drained to below 50% or so, it start to flicked between charging and not-charging and drains even faster.
After checking CPU Spy it tells me that the phone never goes to sleep, this causes the battery to only last about 12-14 hours by itself..
I have also tryed to open the phone and clean the connector, but it did not fix it. One thing that is strange, is if I pry a toot stick or similar in the micro-usb-connector to press the connector plate (inside the micro-usb-connector) down with the phone faced up, it actually stops to flicker and stays not-charging.

Same problem here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379478 and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21031287#post21031287

I have the same problem, and it make my crazy.
I bought the phone about month ago and this problem came in the second week.

I plugged my phone up to my car charger omw home for lunch and the stupid charging issue started to happen all over again... I had to do the whole thing over again. Remove otterbox, back shell, battery, and put it all back together. I'm really trying to avoid swapping the phone out with verizon. With the way it's looking, I'm about to call and hassle a VZW CSR and get me an instant swap in the morning. This is unacceptable SAMSUNG. Bad thing is, it must be common with Smsg phones, as I found 5 other devices of theirs that seemed to have the same problem Nexus S and Fascinate being two of them.

Same issue here as well, with the battery icon showing the charging bolt despite not being plugged in.
This will happen when the phone is not in use, and ill notice the screen flash on for a moment.
I tried the solution offered in this thread, only to have the symptom return just hours after powering the phone back on, and w/o being plugged back into another charger.

Same here, the solution didn't work for me but push the conector down with a toothpick seems to work for me ... for the moment.
So it seems to be a hardware problem of the device !

I have now ordered a new USB connector board to see if that fixes it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150713366355
Will report back.

When did you buy your phones? This could be a problem on early batches.
Could you see what part number you have on the actual USB connector?
I see that on this replacement board the number is 1H13D, while my number is 1J10F.

Hey, strong work! You might diagnose this thing before Google does. Keep us posted.

I'm experiencing this too, I did have it go away for about a week, but now it's back. I"m not looking forward to RMAing it, because I ordered it from the US and I'm in the Caribbean. I'm hoping the USB board replacement will work - waiting to see the results.

So glad I finally found this thread....
This started happening to me Friday night. First thing I noticed was while I was out the battery symbol had the lightning bolt in it as if it was charging, but it wasn't.
Long story short, nothing I do is able to charge the phone, both while the phone is on and while the phone is off) and it's REALLY pissing me off. The only response I can get from the phone is when it's off, it keeps looping over the two battery animations and acts like it's charging, but it's really not.
In all my playing around with it I somehow got it to charge to 40% yesterday. The only thing I can say for certain was that the phone was plugged in while I was trying to boot it up and when it shut off I didn't see the battery charging animations so I left it alone for a little bit before I checked it out and was surprised to see it charged a bit.
Today I was able to have it happen again and got the battery to 60%. This time I Started from the bootloader and again, when it turned off, I didn't see the battery animation.
I was able to reproduce this again just now by going into the bootloader and just choosing the option to power it off. Will report back in a little while to let you know if it charged past 60% after doing that.
Edit: powering off from the bootloader did not charge the phone. I accidentally pulled the battery and it went from 60% to 37% when I turned it back on. I think there is something screwy with my battery. Does anyone know if the regular Verizon battery fits in the GSM version?

I've got at least a similar issue, but managed to get a fix working (at least for now). I've had the phone for about 2.5 hours now. I got it with around 50% charge, after 1.5 hours, it was at 24% so I went to charge it. Tried the included USB cable to my Windows 7 PC, it tried to install drivers, the install failed. The battery was labeled as still discharging and the unlock screen told me to charge the battery.
I proceeded to try the samsung charging head thing with the original cable in one outlet, then in two more - same result, no charging indicated. Tried with a brand new micro USB cable and had no results. Tried the other cable with the PC. I read around on the issue a bit and found this thread, since people were saying it could be software related, I figured I would power down the device and try again.
I powered down the phone while it was disconnected from USB. I then plugged it into the USB cable connected to my computer. My PC then recognized the device and installed the drivers correctly, the bolt over the battery icon appeared on the Galaxy Nexus's screen. I let the screen turn off then woke it again, the battery charging animation was going. I booted the device while connected to USB. Now in the OS it says the battery is charging and it was charging from about 42% - so I think the actual battery power was not being properly reported before the reboot and when the charging problems were happening.
I'm hoping this has set it to work, but if something else happens, I'll post here again.

I've had the phone for over a month now and never had any issues. I've been trying to plug into a Mac so drivers aren't an issue (I know from previous phones that in Windows the phone wouldn't charge until the right drivers were installed).
There's definitely something very wrong w/ the phone and I fear it's likely a hardware issue, as even when the phone is off it won't charge (but acts kind of like it is).
Right now the only surefire way for me to charge my phone is let it die all the way down and keep trying to boot it up until it dies during a boot before the OS comes up (at which point it'll charge).

For what it's worth I fixed the phone on Monday. I stuck a wooden stir stick from work in the usb port and pushed down on the plate inside ever so slightly. I'd seen this suggestion from a few places online, but I was pretty skeptical. Well, much to my surprise it started charging!
I quickly got it back to it's stock state and re-locked the booloader in case I end up needing to send the phone back to Sammy if the problem happens again.
So far so good, but I've been very careful when plugging and unplugging the usb cord.

I think it's important to keep the OP's issue in mind, because I'm pretty sure there are two different issues here.
1)Many of us have an issue were the phone shows it's charging WHILE UNPLUGGED, causing the screen to flick on repeatedly. This may/may not be accompanied by a charging issues - in my case it isn't.
2)A second issue where owners have problems charging their phones (but never experience the charging while unplugged bug).
I think the intent of this thread is to track (1). I've never heard of the toothpick issue helping those experiencing (1).

How are people pushing the usb plate down, any pictures?

[Q] Kindle Fire will boot but not charge

Ok, I have spent all morning searching the forums but can't find this specific problem. Here is what I have.
Running - Android 4.0.4
Kernel - 3.0.21+
Build - IMM76I
Mod Version - aokp_otter_build-36
My fire has been doing great until yesterday. I charged it over night Monday night. Tuesday morning battery was 100%. Around 2pm, my son calls me to tell me the battery has dropped to zero. (Problem 1 - Battery dropped to zero extremely fast with very little use).
This created a huge problem. Now that the battery is Zero, the Fire will not charge. I am using the stock charger. As soon as I plug in the stock charger, the Fire turns on and boots up like normal. I charged all night and nothing. As soon as I unplug the charger, the fire dies. When I plug in the charger, it boots right up but will not charge.
HELP! What can I do?

Sounds to me that the battery has gone bad. Contact Amazon for a replacement device.

With the charger plugged in reboot into recovery and charge it there. Some of the older roms had charging problems. It should charge in recovery just fine.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623244
CM9 currently eats up a lot of battery power (compared to CM7) even when it's sitting idle. Hopefully this will be improved with continued kernel development. You might also have some app that is constantly using up resources on your device. You might want to look into that when you get your battery charged again.

I believe I am charging in recovery mode. I have TWRP at the top with 8 boxes. I do not see the battery level any where on the screen. How can I know if it is charging? In fact, I found this screen shot online. My screen looks like this but DOES NOT HAVE THE WORDS BATTERY %. This makes me think, the Fire isn't recognizing the battery and probably isn't charging in Recovery Mode.

When your plug in your charger, do a hard reset on your kindle and let it charge in that mode. So start charging it and then hold power button for about 15 seconds.

I tried what you suggested. I plugged in my charger, did a reset on the Kindle and let it charge for 3 hours. Powered back on after 3 hours, battery still shows ZERO.

Are you sure it's getting charging current and ID signal? Something seems to have gone wrong with my charging plug/socket (still debugging). But when I plug it in, I have to wiggle the plug all around to find the point where it will charge. I think the socket has detached from the board inside. In any event, when I find that sweet spot it boots and shows the green charging line in the battery icon, but then always loses connection after a little while and dies.
But for you, if it's powering up when you plug it in, you don't have a plug/socket problem like I do. It sounds like from the missing battery line on the debug screen you may have a bad battery. LiIon batteries are occasionally bad, and the main failure mode that I see is that they seem to work with light discharges and recharges, but with a deep discharge then they lose capacity, either dropping to 1/2 or 1/4 capacity or dying completely.
With any LiIon powered device or replacement battery, I would take it through a full cycle at least once early in its life to shake out a marginal cell. A good cell should maintain or slightly increase its capacity. A bad cell should will lose a significant amount of capacity or die outright.

Yes, it turned out that the micro-usb connector had completely broken off the PCB inside. (This also happened to me with a backup hard drive and its mini-usb connector). These things use surface-mount connectors and they're not very rugged. Repeated significant stress on the charging plug (which sticks out as a lever arm and can develop considerable torque) can weaken the solder connections and/or lift the PCB traces.
I exchanged mine through Amazon under warranty. They sent out a hot-swap replacement. They first sent me a replacement charger to see if that was the problem.
I looked back over this thread. The biggest problem with the Kindle Fire is that it doesn't show charging status when turned off. Best bet is to turn it on (if you still have ANY battery power) and see if the orange light goes on and stays on when your charger is plugged in. If it does turn on, but doesn't light the charge light orange, and you try alternate chargers and if none of them turn on the orange charging light, then your connector is broken (if the plug wiggles around -- it should be snug and rigid) or maybe the charging circuit is bad (if the connector feels tight). For no charging at all, it's unlikely to be a battery problem -- we rarely see TOTAL LiIon failures. The usual LiIon failure mode is that it'll appear to charge up, maybe not reaching full terminal voltage (never finishing charge), and then discharging very quickly.

hi which rom doesn't have charging problems?

none have charging problems. are you experiencing problems? what ROM are you running?

loose battery connector
hi there,
I had the same issue: When connected to AC, the KF was booting but not charging and no battery level was showing. It turned out that the battery connector (the one from battery to the PCB) became loose. I glued the connector together and everything was fine again... hope that helps someone

HTC One X Suddenly won't turn on!

Hi guys!
I bought my new HTC One X on contract with three UK about 10 days ago. Been working great and I've flashed several different roms on it, the latest being the AOKP jelly bean.
I was in the middle of setting up my Go Launcher last night, when the phone suddenly died. I thought it must have just crashed following some rom/kernel issue, so I tried to turn it back on, no luck. Also tried holding the power button down but to no avail.
I supposed that it might have run out of battery, as it was fairly low at the time, so I left it charging on USB (with the indicator light flashing) all through the night (around 9 hours) and this morning it still won't turn on.
The screen won't come up at all, and the phone doesn't vibrate or make any noise but if I connect it to my computer it will sometimes be detected and I can see the device in ADB.
"adb devices" first shows the device as offline, then if I run "adb kill-server" and try again then it shows the device as "HT23YW105462 recovery".
I've then tried running commands such as "adb reboot", "adb reboot-bootloader", "adb reboot -p" but no luck. The phone seems to recognize the command as it disconnects, but it doesn't turn back on.
Any theories guys? I hope my new toy hasn't been bricked somehow! If this happened to my Desire HD I'd just take the battery out to make sure it was fully off and try again... is this a good idea here?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give! Many cookies will be given as reward. (sorry for the long post )
- P.s. This is pretty urgent as I use this number for work!

:victory:
Ok, it seems to have been resolved at last... just for anybody who gets the same issue, here's what worked for me.
After doing some more searching I found someone mentioning this method: Leave the phone plugged in to your USB port for a while until the orange LED flashes. Leave it flashing for a few minutes, then quickly swap the lead from your USB port to a wall charger. If you leave it unplugged too long then it seems the LED stops flashing and it won't work, so do it quickly.
If successful the LED will keep flashing while plugged into the wall, and it will start to charge up. Give it a while (I left mine for about 25 minutes) then try and turn it on. This worked for me, but even after this period of time it had only charged up to 2%!
:S This is an odd phone indeed.

Very strange resolution IMHO.
This problems must be caused by discharging the battery more than it should (which I guess custom ROMs can cause)

Very strange indeed... I tried pretty much everything I could before this, but this was the only thing to get the phone to boot. Charging and working fine now :S. I'll have to make sure to never run it flat if I can help it, this would be a right pain if it it happened while I was out

Just saved from similar issue
My battery run out last night when I had the phone connected to the tv through USB>HDMI when i put it on the charger the charging light would not switch on. Phone wouldnt switch on either it was really dead!. Left it all night hooked up to charger and this morning still nothing, wouldnt switch on.
So I Hooked it up to the PC and after 10 minutes or so the light started to flash and I quickly inserted the usb charging cable and it started to charge.
Pretty sure I either discharged the battery to much (did update to 7.2.2 yesterday with 30% bat), OR something to do with having the USB>HDMI cable inserted when the battery run out.
Odd but brought it back to life (phew!)

Hmm, seems like a pretty common fault. Maybe an app that cuts power to the phone when it reaches a critical limit might be a good idea... I noticed that most phones seem to turn themselves off before fully dead, whereas ours now seem to completely flatten themselves. At least if it shut down at 1% you could still turn it back on when you found a charger, and it could tell you why your screen was about to go black rather than "poof, gone".
Anybody know such an app? Or should I make one (been wanting to get my hands dirty)

wont turn on

A Very Bad Case of the Bootloop

I was using my Kindle a while ago and noticed that the battery was going pretty low and not charging right. I hoped that it would resolve the problem by itself, but no. Instead, I turn it on to find it stuck in pretty much a tenth of a second Bootloop. It shows the FireFireFire symbol then goes away almost instantaneously. I cannot think of anything I have done to it. I was using Hashcode's 4.1.1 Jellybean ROM and it was working great. I have a charger that I do not know if it is a legitimate Kindle charger, but before this it was charging just fine. If you could help me, that would be great I would not like to spend another $40 on a new kindle battery. Thanks!

Leave it alone for a while and give the battery a rest for a bit. Then plug your usb cable into the computer first then your Kindle. As soon as it comes on, hold the power button to cause it to hard shutdown. With any luck, it will shut down and stay off. If so, leave it off and plugged in for quite a while; it should charge. If you can't get it to hard shutdown (keeps turning back on), sometimes heating up the battery a little will give it just enough of a boost to make it work.

Note 2 charging complete randomness - bad port?

Hey guys:
I'm an IT tech and I'm really confused on this one. Started happening a week or 2 ago. I'd be charging my phone and it'd randomly cut out. I run Carbon ROM and have the notification light set to be a solid yellow when charging so I know if it's charging or not. It would happen very infrequently, but would cut out. I'd unplug and replug and it would be fine for the most part. It's gotten progressively worse. I was running NEAK kernel so I tried to go back to stock Carbon trinity kernel, same problem. The other day my phone would also randomly go in and out of "car mode" too which was weird. Currently, I have it plugged into my computer so it's charging in USB mode (lower voltage) and as of right now it's holding charge. But prior to last rebooot it was going on,off,on,off with the charge. Today my phone has locked up a few times when plugged into a full AC charger even. Seems to be completely random right now. I'm just looking for any advice. Going to flash a different ROM and see if that does anything. If not, what part would I need to order? I saw a Youtube instructional video on how to replace USB port and I'd be willing to do that. I bought my phone off Craigslist and have had it for like 6 months. No proof of purchase, which you need for Samsung warranties right? The battery is not "swollen" in the middle. Oh, also this morning, when it was going in,out,in,out,in,out constantly (on full AC charger), i could actually HEAR the (official Samsung) charger resetting itself almost, in sync with when the charge would cut out, if that makes sense. I could actually hear the charger making a "click" everytime it would lose charge then it would try charging again, and would click off again, over and over. Lastly, today I also saw in settings->battery it saying "charging" even though the charge light on my phone was off AND i saw it drop a percentage so it wasn't actually charging. VERY random. Maybe clear battery stats? Doubt that'd do anything... I have CWRP on my phone...
Any thoughts at all on this or if you've seen this would be great. Likely new USB port needed. Where to buy? If new ROM does not fix, it must have to be replaced. That's all I can think of....

Currently, it is holding a charge. I re-installed NEAK kernel, and set the AC charging to 1000 instead of the default of 1700. This happens though. When it seems to be holding, it's fine until I unplug and try later and then all the randomness begins. No idea what to think of it. Don't even know if setting to 1000 had anything to do with it working, likely not....

Didn't see it mentioned. Have you tried a different cable or even a different charger? Would do that before changing a usb port on the phone. Doesn't sound like the port if you are able to charge via a PC USB.
