INFO:
Yesterday the screen was completely unusable, it looked like it was not calibrated (like the old qtek's and htc's) and was not only unresponsive but also very slow, so it did click where and when you didnt want.
CONCLUSION:
after some time I realized and was able to duplicate it when the phone was connected to the wall charger thru the USB cable.
Gotta say im using a really cheap wall charger USB connection because the one from the box is not working. (do have any idea why is this?)
In some threads, it also says it is a common issue in SGS2 but no one says anything about SGN.
Do you have the same issue?
read your user manual. It states this there. Did you watch that xda video when you joined?

I know nothing about this issue, but if I were you I'd stop using that charger immediately. If that's the only time it happens the Nexus might be getting over 5.0v from the charger.

thanks, what video when I joined? back in 07 ?
Had same problem w/ cheap charger. It would be all funky touch screen. This happens to most of my other phones too w/ that same charger (Nexus One, Nexus S, G2X).
+1
Also happened with my sgs, so i bought another charger. An official charger. Not that expensive.
I have the same issue
Hi guys, sorry for the revive, but I'm having the same issue as the OP but with both official usb cable and wall charger that came with the phone. Is there any way to fix it? Or should I get another official charger?
Its a voltage issue between the charger and phone. Its been that way since android began.

Didn't hear anything about any solution rather than buying a new charger, it doesn't cost more than 15 €

Thanks for the response. I feel kind of dissapointed because everything is brand new out of the box. I guess I'll get another charger then...
So my old gnex got exposed to minor water (vzw version). Neither of the tabs got exposed but the charging port was a little rusty. It no longer charged.
So I spend 700, put insurance on, and I have a new one. Two months later it won't charge. I bend up the little tab in the USB port and now its better. (Should have been manufactured a little tighter I guess). So now I go to the old rusty one, bend it up, now charges fine. I'm the proud owner of two nexii. Guess once I get elf_begin.c to stop throwing an error on the jb source I'll have a flashing device. Lesson? If it won't charge bend the tab. Mine will probably break with my luck soon. Anyone else have experience with the usb port acting funny?

Thanks for the tip! A meaningful thread title might be a good idea as well!
I just came over from the dx2. Got myself a great gnex for 250.00 on eBay. I would do it all over again. I although I can afford to spend the 700.00 for a new phone..it makes no sense to do so with so many great deals out there. You just have to look and be patient. I equate this to my previous cars...I have only purchased one new vehicle, right after college. That was a mistake that I won't make again. There's nothing wrong with getting a vehicle with 30k miles on it. Good luck with your gnex.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
If you look in the USB port, there's a little flat thing. If that thing gets pushed too far towards the bottom, it doesn't make proper contact with the charger.
I just stuck a knife in there and bent it up a bit. Not a lot . If you push it up too far the connector won't go in. If you're really paranoid, take the battery out of the phone so you don't short anything. And just slowly push it up. It only took a little bit for me to fix it

I got the Nexus i9250 (white/Unlocked) for $664.59 a couple weeks after release but i also been having problems with the prong.. some times it charges sometimes it doesn't but the annoying thing is this, i would have the lightning bolt inside the battery showing it was charging and it would say charging/battery level on the lock screen even when it wasnt plugged in ! now after bending it it goes and comes but when its not charging and i turn the screen off it turns it self on as if i connected the charger.. i was thinking i can do the following..
1, take it to Sprint/verizon and ask if they can replace the usb port i and pay out of pocket, but if they charge over $75 i might as well call the insurence company and have a replacement for that price..
2, buy a landscape charging dock but then i cant sync the phone to computer..
i cleaned inside incase it had dirt or anything was bent but nothing.. ANY IDEA WHAT I SHOULD DO ?? tia
I'll leave this here...because it's relevant.

On average it will be slower, espically considering the amp outage. Though there is some strong evidence to support slow charging is better for the battery, which makes the battery's life a little bit longer. The biggest plus about wireless chargers is the fact that you avoid using the USB on the device itself. Just placing the device on the pad is easier and quicker instead of fiddling around with the USB. The best reason why people want it, or at least for me, is the fact that you avoid damaging the USB port.
I used to repair phones for Sprint. Some devices were worse on average than others, but USB port separation was common and often could not be fixed. Using wireless charging you avoid that risk all together.

Yeah USB wear would be my main reason for considering a wireless. However I think the tradeoff of even slower charging might be too much for me. Thank you for the info.

I slow charge my devices overnight. They will last a great deal longer then a fast charge throughout the day. All of the other chargers in my house, car, work are fast chargers for a quick pickup.
Fast charges are misleading though. On a very heavy usage day, when my phone battery is destroyed I'll charge it on my 40 min commute home on the fast charge. When I'm home, it will read 80% or something... but it will be almost dead in a few hours. On a slow charge I can fall go 16 hours and have 50% battery left. Big difference.
I personally use iPhone USB Wall Chargers. They put out very low power and takes forever to charge, but big difference after a few days of conditioning.
ProTip:
Hotels always have an AWESOME stash of Lost and Found chargers, adapters, mice, etc. Next time you are in a hotel, tell them you lost your charger and if they have a lost and found box you can find one. Most of the time they'll plead for you to take all that you need. I have found batteries, laptop charger replacements, tons of USB/microUSB cables, and tons of USB Wall and Car chargers.
How does this compare to the Samsung Qi charger?
Has anyone gotten shipping details or any sort of confirmation from icemonkey?
Mine showed up today.
Works fine, even through the ASUS Travel Case, but has to be perfectly centered. No margin for error...
Found this really good deal on ebay
for $4.99 including shipping for magnet adapter for mircoUsb

the whole point of mircoUsb is that its universal so i like to keep it that way.

I pulled the cable from the Sony DK30 (Z Ultra dock) and it's pretty much as you described it. The cable pretty much detaches itself when I put the phone on the carpet for charging. Even if it doesn't detach, moving the phone is enough to shift the cable to the point where it stops charging.
Looks like these have made their way to Amazon now. A little more expensive but delivery is likely to be quicker http://amzn.to/1gfEhyI

I agree with you, If the magnet is too strong it will drag the phone of someone trips over the cable, pulls it... and so on.

I wouldn't want it very strong but it has almost no strength at all. if you even lightly touch the cable it dislodges it.
I'd like to hear from someone who has the official one and the 3rd party one how the magnet strengths compare
I wouldn't waste your time on the one from Amazon, my first one I had didn't work and I've just received a replacement and the magnet is so weak if you move the cable it falls off!

see thats the problem sony isnt making cables like these, it designed the magnet charging port for the dock not for cable when cable is a better idea. its just depends on quality of magnet used isnt the cable now.
so lets wait for other 3rd party to make better cables.
the Chinese ones are no good as for now.
atleast they brought up a great idea.
Ordered one of these on ebay and the magnet is pretty strong but it's just very sensitive to tilting (I mean, it easily goes off when putting force in an angle). That's not weird though, look at the width of the magnet. Don't think much can be done about it... I can lift the phone by the magnetic cable if I just keep it straight.
Charging seems to go pretty slow though, perhaps it's more ment to deliver power while being in a dock (and just keeping things up to par) as opposed to actually properly charging it?
Would have to check how fast/slow it actually is but seemed to differ quite a bit with the regular usb charger. Any other opinions on this?
Hi,
i get DK31 and take the cable of. No difference with what i charge the phone /magnetic cable or original charger /

That is very different to my Amazon one. There is no chance of moving the phone at all with the magnet on the cable. It holds the connector to the phone but any movement in the phone or cable and they come apart.
Do you have a link for the one you ordered ?
I think the speed of charging is entirely down to the source used. My new Macbook pro charges full speed but my wife's Dell laptop is painfully slow

Bought this when it was on sale for like $14.99 by the same primo-superstore guys. Great qi charger. It does BEEP when you first put the phone on but doesn't keep BEEPING once the phone is fully charged like some others.
Very low noise beep tho', so not really a big deal. There's also a tiny LED light on the front of the charger for indication. It did not come with an AC adapter so you'll have to supply one. But it did came with a long and a short micro USB cable. I suppose one is for connecting to a wall charger and the other one for your computer. It does charge just phone if you hook it up to the computer USB port, although much slower.
Best $15 buck I spent all year.
Bought the same or similar one from FastTech and am waiting for it to come in. I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Does it keep the Nexus 5 at 100% when you charge it overnight or does it completely stop charging once it reaches 100%. Does the phone/battery get hot when using this charger?
Ya it works with my digitronic case no problem and the beep actually really helps letting you know its charging. Ya I know there is no brand and sorry for the bad link but I have both the official nexus charger and this one seems way better I can just set it down hear the beep and its good to go where the nexus charger I always have to double check the placement when I put it down.

Yes it remains at 100% and does not beep all night like other ones it has been working great so far. I read a lot of people having trouble with these types of chargers they would charge then it gos to 99% then back to full and beeps on a cycle all night long but I have not experienced that with this charger. I don't know if this one on amazon is different then other ones sold on eBay they all look the same but so far the one from amazon is good. I'm almost thinking about returning the nexus charger to Google because I don't use it anymore.

I bought one too and I like it a lot. I can charge my nexus 5 (via Qi), Nexus 7 FHD (USB, 2.1A) and Dell Venue 8 pro (usb, 1A) simultaneously while charging the internal battery.
Just ordered one. It says 17-28 days, which is a while, but I'm not in a hurry
Does it have the magnets though that the nexus charger has? That's really why I wanted to buy the nexus one.
I got this last week. I used velcro to stick it to my car mount. I had to remove the rubber rings from the top and bottom to make this work.
It does not have magnets. The magnets in the official charger set it apart from most other Qi chargers.
It works well with my Dizitronic TPU case
FYI - Here's the Fasttech model. I can confirm that this works with both the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. Fast charging, and no beeping all night. For those people having trouble with beeping, try being more precise with placement... I find on the Nexus 4, that if I put the charger dead center on the body of the phone, it will beep continuously. If I offset the charger about 1/2" towards the micro-USB port on the phone, the beeping stops and it charges perfectly. The Nexus 5 seems less picky about placement, the sweet spot seems to be quite large in comparison.
Anyway, here it is: http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10006012/1462103-t200-qi-wireless-charging-plate
I bought two, and really need to buy about five more. They're awesome.
Oh, and to answer someone else's question, no magnets for the N5... but flat on a desk and with the large sweet spot, it doesn't seem to matter.
I have this one too. It's worked well for me as a magnetic car dock (had to add the magnets). I hated the Beep sound whenever it became misaligned so I popped it open and found the speaker.
It's the tall black thing in the middle-left of the attached image. If you pop off the top plastic lid of that little black thing you can remove the little metal circle that sits inside it and it stops the beeping. If that's an issue for anyone else...
Hi. I bought the same and works well. I think the bip sound is a good thing because sometimes the position from the phone is incorrect. In this case no bip
