[Q] GSM Galaxy Nexus not charging

Hi Guys,
Before I start, I have read many threads (I think all) relating to this problem and I have googled, googled and googled.
My Device:
GSM Galaxy Nexus
Problem:
It won't charge. No matter if turned on or off. The battery stays always at 0% and when taking a look at *#*#4636#*#* it says "charging".
What I have tried:
- Bought three different batteries.
- Tried two different cables, incl. the OEM one.
- Tried two different wall chargers.
- Replaced the Micro USB port.
- Wiped, reset etc. the phone.
- Tried different ROMs and Kernels. (Yes, I am desperate).
Any advice what the problem might be?
Thanks in advance!

could be the pins not making proper contract with the battery

Thanks, crixley.
I will check that or do you have any advice how I could make sure that the battery is connected?

take look at any of the pins to see if they appear bent.

They look all the same. Not bent, not damaged, not dirty.

hmmm that is really all I can think of..
The fact that it says charging leads me to believe it isn't the port (like most people experience)

I have plugged my phone into my computer. It says "not charging" now. This message appears after a few minutes when I turn it on. Same happens when I plug it into the wall.
Now it's getting really strange. I didn't observe this behavior before.
Before I changed the Micro USB port, the message was >always< "not charging".
Now, after the change, it says for 2 minutes "charging" and then it changes to "not charging".

Did you replace the whole USB board as well, or just the port? It sounds like the USB board is bad.

Hi lowandbehold,
No, I replaced the whole board if we mean the same. I can't post links at this time because I am a new member of XDA, but you can search for "Dock Connector Charging Port with Flex Cable For Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250" on eBay.
UPDATE: Plugged it back into the wall. It says "charging AC" now and does NOT change to "not charging". Funnily enough, the voltage keeps dropping. From 2040 mV to 1961 mV in two minutes.

i'd say replace the device.

Unfortunately I'm having the exact same problem. I just replaced charging port literally just now and it still won't charge. It says "Charging" but it's not charging. In the Settings it says discharging.
Could it be the battery? I'm thinking of buying a new one and seeing if that works.

Has anyone found a solution to this yet? with mine it charged fine in the beginning, and then it would only charge to about 86%, and then 84%...then 80%...currently it will only charge to 14%. I can leave it plugged in for 48 hours and it says it is charging but will not go past 14%. it takes a few hours for it to charge from 0% to 14%, but then dies within 30 minutes of EXTREMELY LIGHT use.
I've tried two different batteries which both yield the same results. I have en external battery charger and can charge the battery to full (according to the light on the charger) and place it in the phone and the phone will tell me it is at 14% or 8% or something like that (which makes me believe it has nothing to do with the usb port).
I have explored everything I could think of on the software side. The problem started on Ice Cream Sandwhich, it didn't stop when it was updated to Jelly Bean, I recently rooted it and have tried a few different roms including stock roms and CM10. I tried battery calibration apps.
So far nothing has made a difference. Any Ideas?

Nope no solution has been found. I'm just selling the device (and telling them the problem, so far I'm selling it for $275 and people want it) and I'm going to buy an SIII or a One X

well, this really sucks...it seems that a few unlucky people (like me) have this charing issue...
I too changed my USB flex cable thinking that this was the cause, but nothing changed
the battery icon says charging, but the system says discharging
what a major p*** off, cuz I'm fed up of changing batteries all the time, I have 5 batteries
I hope that someone will be able to figure this one out, cuz its a real brain buster

Any update on this? My phone bought in July is also just started giving this problem. When it is on it simply will not charge. All these months I was using another charger with no issues. I have tried the following:
1. Using the stock charger
2. Bending upwards the male connector in the USB socket.
3. Removing the battery overnight
Nothing seems to work. When off, the phone seems to charge somewhat and charging icon comes on. But charging when off for about 5 hours resulted in battery showing about 50% (from 13%) but it drains very quickly. Sometimes when charging for 30 minutes (when off) and switching it on it shows 100% battery, but then still discharges very quickly. Sometimes it shows very low battery.
Also my notification LED is glowing red since about a month, even when phone is switched off. If I remove the battery and connect the charger, the LED starts glowing red - blinking, so it seems the USB port is providing power as sometimes the battery does show 50% and seems to last a bit from there.
What are my options here? I am on the latest JB OTA update which came around 14/15 Nov. In India, I will get no service from Samsung for the Nexus.
I am going to try a factory reset first and then next see if I can get another battery. And maybe I should return / cancel the Nexus 4 I ordered?

Maybe try wiping battery stats in recovery? I was having similar issues today with "not charging". I was plugged in to the wall with nothing, so I plugged into the computer... ADB enabled and device was connected as a media device. I booted recovery and wiped dalvick and battery stats, rebooted and now it is charging via usb and AC. Don't know what happened, but it worked for me. Hope it helps!

Thanks for the response. Well, I just tried draining out the battery (it took almost 2 days lol) till it would show shutdown warning soon after booting up and then removed the battery and held down the power button. I then charged it in 'off' mode for a few hours, I think overnight. I used the actual Nexus charger instead of the generic one I was using all this while. When I turned it on, there was about 40% charge showing.
There was another JB update which I managed to complete (leaving it on the charger). The phone seemed to work fine, but did not show a charging state, but suddenly the next day on its own when I just plugged in the charger, it showed the 'bolt' charging icon and since then it has been working perfectly.
Simply no clue as to how and why it started working fine. Probably the previous 14 Nov update had some bug which was resolved in the latest update or the latest update reset the battery stats or whatever.
I am more worried about my upcoming Nexus 4 which has a non-removable battery as to what I would do if something like this happens.

I can 100% guarantee you that wiping battery stats had nothing to do with it.

[Q] Charging Problems with GN I9250-XXLFA

Hello,
I bought a GN, I9250, European model, made in China 4 days back from a vendor online.
I am having problems charging the phone.
When PHONE is ON
1. When plugged into the included charger/cable, the battery status shows CHARGING (AC) for a few minutes and then changed to NOT CHARGING. Removing the USB plug or switching off the mains and restarting in a minute takes the status back to CHARGING (AC) but again for a few minutes.
2. Tried with multiple chargers and cables with exactly the same results
3. When the phone is connected to USB port in laptop, the charging happens, for a longer duration. The laptop also detects the phone immediately and I can access files etc. After say 20-30 minutes odd the status again goes to NOT CHARGING. However, while the phone is not charging, I can still access files on the phone. This implies the USB connectivity is still perfect, only the charging has stopped.
4. Under no circumstances does the charge go beyond 50% odd, irrespective of the duration of charging
When PHONE is OFF
1. The phone shows the battery icon with bolt for a few seconds and then shuts off. If I click the power button briefly I can see the battery charging icon.
2. I kept the phone in charging with the wall adapter all night, and got 49% charge only, starting from about 10% when put to charge.
The battery indicator graph shows the phone is has never hit a charge level above 65% types.
I have not seen the other charging issue of the phone showing a bolt in the battery icon even if the phone is not plugged in ! (thank god!!!)
I bought it "as new" condition, and performed a factory reset immediately on receiving the phone. So its running stock applications, with almost everything except voice and 2g data on. No applications except Whatsapp are running.
All other aspects of functionality are working well.
I have read hundreds of posts across the web and am not sure what the problem could be with my phone. I am in India and since the phone was bought off the net, its unlikely that it will be provided warranty etc here. In fact I'm not even sure if there will be servicing competency in the technicians here.
I have tried to puch the micro USB tongue by pushing it upwards gently, but cannot really say whether or not it did bend or i was just too fearful. Have tried removing battery etc and all other soft methods written everywhere.
Any help ???

maybe a screwed battery ?

Hello,
I do suspect it myself, but I don't know how to verify this. Can any other Samsung phone battery be put in the phone or is the phone compatible only with this one? Getting another battery is not possible in the near future since this is not available in India...
Any thoughts on how to check this?

I have the same problem, but it's not the battery's fault. My brother also has a GNex, and I tried charging my phone with his battery, and vice-versa, without any luck. I think it's the USB port's fault. Something about power not getting to the phone correctly. Luckily I bought it at a store here. I talked to the owner, and I'm going to exchange it for a new one tomorrow.

Hello,
I found another GN and did this experiment.
1. When I plugged in my battery which was showing 53% on my phone into the other phone it showed 79%.
2. When I charged the other GN with my battery inside, it charged to 100%
3. When I put my battery back into my phone, it showed 67%
4. When I put in the other GN battery into my phone it showed 49%, while it was showing 82% in the other GN.
5. I was able to charge this other battery in my phone to 60%.
6. When I put it back into the other GN it showed 94% charge.
Apparently my battery seems to be ok. Also, it seems that my phone is charging ok too. But there may be a problem with the phone detecting the battery level !!
Any thoughts?

Hello,
i have exact the same problem. I tried 3 batteries a lot of chargers and i changed the Charging Port Flex Cable.
This all without success

I had the same problem, turns out it was just my charger. After I bought a new one the charging time droped from 7h to 2h.

I have the same problem. I can confirm that the problem is the charger or the charging port or the usb cable socket.

i think it's my charger, because i tried my friend's charger from his Zenfone 5 and it charged my phone for just about 2hrs or so.
mine would charge for atleast 3 to 5% and after that it will not charge anymore, i wonder what happened? I am on full stock right now fully unrooted using LG flash tool. it's really a shame that my charger gave up so soon as i have only bought this phone(Brand New) not 2 months ago.

I had exactly the same problem. I forced them to change my main board under guarantee. It didn't help. I bought a new battery. Helped but charging time was 3 hours. I saw I couldn't transfer files via USB tried changing cable and I can charge 0 to 100 in 2:10 hours. 20 mins faster than the day I bought my phone. The stock charger is OK but the cable is a crap. Do what I did from bottom to top!

LG G3 Dead

lg g3 Gold colour new handset is not booting up and when i remove the battery and insert the charging cable
screen come with a triangle sign and a question mark in it.:crying:

Try with stock G3 cable and charger.

Yep despite MicroUSB standard there might be some slight differences in quality that some devices might complain about. For example my G3 works ok with stock cable or Nokia one but doesn't work with HTC longer one.

i tired it but same issue and when i am connecting it with battery drivers are getting installed but doesn't show in my Computer

Try to use complete original charger and cable. Blackberry chargers, or only one that i tried are so slow, that can even start to charge G3. My phone was on BlackBerry charger for 1 hour for 1%.

I tried that method also. Everything in vain. Cannot send it to the service center also. It is purchased from outside country.

1) remove and replace your battery without turning the phone on
2) plug your USB cable into your computer
3) hold Volume + while plugging the other end of the USB cable into your turned off G3
Does it boot into download mode?

OMG Thank you!!

Nothing is happing tried all the method
plz help

If your phone won't turn on, and you have not used it in a while, you may simply have a drained battery. There are a few things you can try: Connect it to a power cord and see if anything happens. It should recognize that it has been connected to a power source by lighting up and start charging. If that does not happen, inspect your cord and power wall adapter and see if there is any damage to either one.Dust or dirt can spoil the sensors and prevent proper connection between the battery and the phone. To clean this up, use a cotton swab and alcohol to remove the dust from the sensors.Know more ideas from LG G3 Manual- guideusermanual.com/product-name-lg-g3-manual&po=134051&lang=English

Best solution: Put your motherboard to oven on 180 degress on 10 mins. Its not a joke

I just bought the same gold LG G3 from over seas. Took over a month to arrive. Plugged it in, same thing. Triangle question mark. Opened the phone removed battery. Noticed some plastic covering the terminals. Removed it. Put battery back in. Plugged it in. 96% charge.
Do a little dance.

Try baking the mainboard, 360F for 15 minutes for mine and it worked.

Dead LG G4 (not rooted) won't turn on, no charging light

So i had the G4 in my pocket and i do not remember how much charge it had on it at the time. I was working at the computer for a couple hours and when i pulled my phone out it was off. I plugged in my cord and the LED did not turn on so I waited a minute. Nothing. Tried a different cord, waited a minute. Nothing. Tried another cord connected to a battery pack. Nothing. Tried another cord on a different power source and still nothing.
Phone is stock, no root, no rom no reccent drops or other issues. It does seem to take a charge because the battery pack that i had connected for an hour did go from 64% to 40%
Sprint LG G4 if that matters. By nothing I mean no logo screen nothing on screen, no response like there is no battery at all.

Seems to be hardware related maybe it is the ilapo even when it not bootloops. Nevertheless send it to repair but it would try the freezer method first to backup data if possible.

Leave it on charger ,maybe it will start booting when it detects 100% battery.probably,it won't fully boot,it will stay at never-ending boot.Faulty motherboard.

Your problem is you need a new battery

Agreed with above. Your battery is almost dead. Get a new battery.
