Hey,
(I tried searching for similar threads, but "charging" and "desire" gives me billions of results)
I have quite a sticky situation on my hands. Last night when I were to check my phone for messages, it was turned off. I grabbed my charger with the AC adapter and plugged it in. Voilà, amber led is turned on. I waited a while as I went off to grab food and that sorts, returned and turned it on. No problem so far. Small digression: I even got those messages I expected, hooorah!
Anyways, after a couple of hours I returned to my phone to check additional messages but then again, it was turned off. Even though it was hooked up to the AC adapter. I mean, the amber led is turned on and even the battery animation in the status bar when charged is doing its thing.
So I started trying to figure out what it is, but nothing have helped the slightest bit so far. I tried flashing different radios and roms but the problem seem to stick.
What's odd is that it allows charging sometimes, but it takes a long while. I have yet to find out the reason for it, but my doubts are that currently the phone needs to be off.
So far I think it could be a faulty USB cable that may cause the problem, but even though how obnoxiously stupid it may be, I turn my ears to you guys.
Thanks in advance.
TL;DR:
The phone isn't charging even though it's hooked up to the ac adapter and both amber led and animation in the status bar is indicating it's charging.

first things first,
search xda-developers re: USB brick. does it fit the symptoms?
do you have access to a different usb cable? does it charge better from this one?
will it charge quicker on on (for instance) your computer, compared to the wall charger?
is the charger an official charger or a third party one? if its a third party, no name brand one, chances are its crap. I bought a 1000mA rated car charger and one of the components won't let more than 100mA through.
Greetings, nzdcoy. Thanks for quick answer.
Let's see. As far as I can tell, USB brick symptoms sounds like you're unable to connect your phone using USB when booted into Android and/or custom boot/recovery. I have yet to try this, but I also read that they were able to charge the phone without problems. However, I'll give this a try seeing as it won't hurt.
I'm afraid I do not have access to another USB as these "micro" USB cables aren't that widespread. Or, at least I don't have leftovers as I do for regular USB cables.
It's hard to tell if it charges faster for whether possibilities as it doesn't charge at all if it's on. The amber led is lit, but the battery percentage still drops. I've only relied on the wall charger as I know it supports more amper than its PC counterpart. But yet again, I should try the USB brick fix. Hopefully it'll work.
Both the charger and the cable is stock, so I don't think it could be shabby third party components.
I'm also suspicious to if it can be the battery that's blasted. I've measured the voltage and it seems to be fine, so I don't know for sure. Maybe it's bad because it takes ages for it to charge? I don't have an external power supply, so I can't test this for sure though.
Anyhow, thanks nzdcoy for giving me some directions to what it could be.
Edit: Tried hooking up the phone to the computer, and I had access to the SD card. I suppose that's not a USB brick then?
at least it isn't a USB brick.
Does it positively charge when plugged into the PC? Unless you are using GPS or you are using a USB1.1 port, your PC should still charge it positively.
Yes, thankfully.
I've somehow found a method to charge the darned phone. And I could almost conclude it's a bad connection between the wire and the phone. I think the socket on the phone is damaged. Worst part is, is that it comes and goes. One day it could work swimmingly and charge in whatever position, the other day it requires one certain position to charge anything at all.
My Desire works in strange ways.
Thanks for the help so far, nzdcoy!
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

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.

Hello,
This problem started recent, that i can not charge my phone
when i plug it to my computer the charging led does light up,
it says charging on the screen but percentage does not increase. It decreases like it is unplugged.
If i plug to a wall charger, same thing happens (And even sometimes it doesnt say charging while on wall plug"
if I plug my note 2 to my laptop, the device does not show up on "my computer"
I'm pretty sure this is a software issue. This happened after I changed my ROM (This --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722002)
I tried to calibrate my battery with an APP but problem still exits.

UPDATE
somehow I was able to power the device without the battery, it was just plugged.
I was able to see Samsung screen. So, my device does receive power/current from the cable but does not charge
Please help me, I'm tried to swap batteries

First clean your usb port contract
Second Always Use LG/BlackBerry/Sony USB cables instead of samsung one.(specifically for N7100)

Phone is not rooted or anything, fast charging just stopped working out of nowhere no idea how to fix it so i tried resetting phone, and that didn't work either i have no idea whats wrong?
I have the 4gb model and using the charging that came with it along with other qualcom quick charge chargers and none of them work
Not to point out the obvious, but quick charge only works for a certain battery percentage. It is 0% to 50%, I think? After that it reverts to normal charging.
Same problem
I have the same problem on my Asus Zenfone 2 (2GB version). It used to quick charge perfectly fine with a Samsung adaptive charger but now it's only charging normally (5V 1.1A). I tried different cables with no joy.
I bought a USB device that connects between the charger and the USB cable to check the voltages on D+ and D-. Apparently the phone is asking for 12V instead 9V (0.66V on both D+ and D- instead 3.3V on D+ and 0.66V on D-).
I can only guess this is a software issue from an update?
I ordered an external battery pack from Aukey that offers Quick Charge 2.0. This one can offer 12V too. If that works I'll come back with an update.
No, my phone will show quick charge at any battery percentage. It doesn't come out of quick charge until fully charged.

Post a photo of your screen showing that you're still on quick charge after 70-80%?
I know it stops at a certain point. When I check my phone after a 45 minutes or so of charging when its nearly full, I don't see the quick charge icon anymore nor does it say "Quick Charging", only "Charging".

Well, obviously I don't know what I"m talking about. I thought the "+" in the battery indicator meant it was on quick charge.
When plugged into my quick charger (I have two different ones by different manufacturers) it always shows the "+" in the battery indicator.
I don't know how to tell it's in quick charge mode except by the message on the lock screen. And you are right, it goes from "quick charging" to "charging" about the power level you indicated. Hadn't really noticed before. Now I'm a little smarter
I also have the + sign from 1% to 99% using original charger.
It does get less hot after 70% im sure quick charge slow down or off at this point

same here..
Same here - sometimes the quick charges works (from 0%-80%), sometimes it stops at 20% and I notice too late the phone has not been fully charged All this with the Asus original quick charger ...
Normal charging works always, not a single problem ..
I guess this is a software issue ...
not really, my zenfone 2 used to fast charge even at 82% and charge to 100% after 10 mins, but now it's at 49% and says fast charging but the completion time shows 3 hours until full. I dunno why
I've been having similar issues in recent months, but I'm thinking the USB cable may be worn out - usually when it shows it is charging in regular mode, if I unplug the cable and put back in the + appears. Also a couple of times it has claimed I am using an unsupported charger (it is the same ASUS fast charger out of box..), which is also resolved by unplugging and replugging things.
However if the phone won't fast charge, won't detect OTG drives and PC can't detect the phone then a part of the chipset is probably toast.
Got down to around 15% and then plugged in. Noticed level continued to drop. Opened battery page and see this:
Plugged in, Can't charge now.
Did a restart and same thing. If I flip the USB connector 180degrees, it charges. Swapped ends with the wall part of charger. Same thing....only charges with one side of usbb cable pointed up.
What up?

Sounds like a bad port, or cable. If another charger or cable doesn't work, RMA that puppy. Of course, Google support will tell you to do a factory reset first. So be ready ?

On 30 minute hold now.
Flipping the end on the wall doesn't matter. Flipping the cable around doesn't matter. Whichever end is plugged into the phone only works on one side. Weird....I thought they were the same.
No spare USB C cables. May be able to test with an A to C in a few minutes...

Send it back bruh! :good:
.. previous post truncated. Copy paste always does that in xda app?
I have tested with factory A to C cable and iPad brick. Seems to work fine either way I flip the cable. But I do notice the above msg for a half second when first plugging in, then switches to charging.
With my stock charger, phone does the same with one orientation (brief msg and then charging)....but NOT fast charging.
With the other C cable orientation, it cycles several times between not connected at all and then stays on msg above.
All for now.
Would like to test with a different USB C cables....but not available now.
Is it normal when plugging in, to momentarily flash that can't charging msg? Never noticed it before, but wasn't looking
I was wrong about charging rapidly. On the lock screen, using the orientation that works, it does show charging rapidly.
BUT Ampere app (which measures charging current) only registers about 1mA.
Thanks

1) Yes you're right. It does momentarily flash "can't charge right now" for me. Literally a split second flash. Wouldn't see it unless you were looking for it.
2) You really can't trust apps for measuring charging current. It's especially inaccurate when the screen is off which you need to do to check it. If anything, it would close to accurate if you had your screen off for 5-10 minutes then checked it quickly before it throttles the charging down. Only way for an accurate measurement is a is a power meter like this:

True, charging current with Ampere is less than accurate with screen on. Accubattery however will calculate charging with screen off. Would be interesting to see how that compares to the USB meter.
Was able to test another brick/C to C cable combination and it worked fine both ways. My cable worked in 3rd party brick. Using my brick and either cable, it will only charge in one direction.
So I guess my brick is bricked.... will ask G for replacement.
Well the sent a new brick. By the time I got it, things seemed to be working ok for a while.
But last night my phone was charging next to my bed. Middle of the night I noticed it was on. I grabbed it and unplugged the USB C. The cable connector was extremely hot. Didn't think much of it.
Now, near end of day, I try to charge again. Won't charge. Turned ohone off and tried to charge. Plug gets way hot, but no charging indication.

@akenis Did you ever sort this out?
I'm having the *EXACT* behavior, but on a OP6, the same "plugged in, can't charge right now" message.
If I reboot, I get one charge (still with the brief flash message "...can't charge") and then it charges, until I unplug it. Once unplugged it won't charge again, until rebooted.
Same charge-source/cables/Qi receiver that my OP5T had, and my wife now does, zero issues on it (the Qi pad is my main charge source, typical is about 500-700ma, do-able, for me). Re-tested the 5T on a couple of the cable/charger combos, absolutely no issues, it charges every time.
If I use their Dash charger (which I rarely do, because my Qi receiver is stuck on the back, under a case), it gets around this, but it's not a great solution for me; I only have one of them, and we have Qi chargers "everywhere", it seems ;-]
I had a 6P prior, my mea culpa for posting on a Pixel thread, with OP repro instance. I do think these are both s/w related, and probably related to some kernel issue, that's persisting in Oreo builds. I bet if I were really motivated, I could find this in several other brand devices, in various other forums...

I think it was hardware. On my 3rd 2XL. 1st one ended up smoking at us port. The replacement wouldn't route audio through us port.
