[HELP] Evo only charges when off

i'm running a Gingerbread build based off of the latest nightly with stock kernel.
i've formatted my device with the formatall.zip and reloaded the ROM. i've even gone back to a stock ROM and still got the same issue. after doing this, if i plug my device up, it charges just fine while on. if i unplug the device later and plug it back up, the charging light will come on, then quickly go off and the device won't charge.
the only way i've been able to get around this is to turn it off, in which case it then charges. i get these same results whether i'm plugged into the wall or to PC.
if it were a hardware issue, wouldn't that mean it wouldn't charge at all, whether on or off?
anyone have any ideas or experience with this issue?

Same Here...
Anyone found solution yet?

My only guess would be a kernel issue or a hardware problem. Wipe your dalvik and cache and reflash your kernel. If that doesn't fix it, I do know some evo's micro usb ports go bad. I don't know if this is a symptom of that but it may be.

Thanks alot **TheSilverStig **
It was the kernel.
My phone is charging now...
Will test for a couple days and will let you know again..
For some reason www dot qap dotla/~netarchy/ is not working (Error 404)
Try http home(dot)comcast(dot)net/~evoreviews/downloads(dot)html
For now...
For me
netarchy-toastmod-4.3.1-cfs-havs-nosbc worked...
Hope that helps for you too...
Good Luck
*Happy Rooting*

[Q] Need Help Screen and USB issues.

Last night up did a clean install of starburst 1.9.8r and all was well. My battery ran down to 2% before I plugged it in. The battery continued to run down and turned off while plugged in. It continued to turn itself back on, boot up, and then turn off. I pulled the battery, put it back in and the phone charged to 100% while off.
This morning I am having major issues.
1. The screen keeps turning on for no reason. If I turn it off, it turns back on in a few seconds. A few times, it has come on brighter than the highest brightness setting.
2. The phone will not connect to a computer via USB. I've tried 3 cables, 2 computers, USB debugging on and off, CWM, and Odin. Nothing will work.
3. The phone charges when plugged into both USB and AC, but most of the time the touchscreen does not work while plugged in.
4. The phone keeps freezing and only a battery pull will fix it.
I have tried everything I can think of to fix it. I tried to reinstall the rom, I have restored a nandroid, and downloaded and installed a different rom.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update
I have now tried 4 computers and countles cables.
When I plug in the usb, windows makes the sound as if it is connected, then quickly disconnects. It continues to do this constantly. Some of the times it says it is connected to mtp usb. I've read everyting I can read and can't find a solution.

This sounds more like a hardware problem than anything. Try flashing back to EG30 stock and a factory data reset. Do you still have these issues? If so try a different battery. Still have problems? If so most likely you are having an odd hardware problem.

[Q] USB issues - not charging - can't get into fastboot mode

Hello everyone,
having major USB issues on my GNex. It's not charging anymore, but when the phone is off, it displays a charging animation. I could get it to charge once since this occurred, I left it plugged in overnight on my Mac (phone turned off). Did the same thing last night, no charge at all.
Mac OSX does not recognize the device, my Windows machine keeps telling me something like "the connected device is not working properly and can't be used... ". This message pops up every few seconds, so I guess it's constantly connecting and disconnecting. I can't access the internal storage on both systems.
My first guess was a hardware defect. But when I try to boot into recovery mode, a screen instantly pops up that shows Andy and displays a message: "Downloading. Do not turn off target.". In the upper left corner it displays " ODIN MODE" in small red letters.
When I press the power button in this screen (there is a big arrow pointing to the button with "start" written in it) the phone just normally reboots.
I can't get into fastboot mode because of this. I can get into CWM Recovery when i use the reboot into recovery option built in the ROM.
I dunno much about Odin (next to nothing). Has it something to do with Samsungs Kies? Could it be that something has put my phone in this "ODIN MODE" and it constantly tries to download something, making the USB port unusable? The port is not completely broken, as the phone displays a charging animation when it's turned off... so there is some connectivity left!
Thoughts coming up that this could be some kind of software issue. If there is a possibility to get out of the Odin Mode, it may solve the problem.
The phone is unlocked and rooted, running AOKP Milestone 5 and franco kernel.
I tried to restore an older nandroid, but it did not change anything.
Would send it in for exchange, but not able to relock the bootloader due to no fastboot access. If it can be confirmed that this is a hardware problem, I have to pay for the repair, I'm fine with that.
Has anybody any ideas that could be helpful? Any help is much appreciated, thank you in advance!

Do a search and you will find at least 30 helpful threads. Basically you only need to replace your USB charging board and it works again. Should be a warranty issue, but Samsung has really been an ass on handling this issue lately and claiming water damage.

I have mentioned it many times here: this problem can be probably solved by thoroughly cleaning your USB with soft toothbrush.

True, I also cleaned my port but it only fixed it temporarily.

Thanks guys. Tried to clean the port, nothing changed.
Ordered an OEM charging board off ebay, hope changing it will fix the issue.
Only thing I'm wondering about is, that the phone is stuck in Odin Mode when I boot it up with Vol. - and the Power Switch. So I downloaded Odin but it does not recognize the phone...

I am also facing the same problem. I am currently using the phone by charging the battery externally. Can someone confirm that changing the USB flex cable is the solution ?

Just posted in another thread but it is definitely the USB port for me. Using an HTC Vision (Google g2)

Galaxy Nexus GSM: No wall charge and USB not recognized

Hi guys,
My GNex has a problem. Many users seem to have a similar problem but theirs seem to be hardware related and I'm pretty confident mine is software related.
It started a few months ago when my GNex wouldn't charge through the wall charger. I was on a trip with my friends so I didn't have access to a pc and wasn't able to troubleshoot further. The charging icon would appear when the phone was off but when I turned it on it didn't charge. I played around with the phone for about two hours, rebooting, Googling for solutions, changing the USB connection modes in the Storage settings. When I changed from Next Launcher to Stock launcher and rebooted everything was working fine again. However I think it was only a coincidence. Then the problem didn't occur again until now and this is why I think it's software related. If hardware would have been broken the problem wouldn't just have fixed itself like that.
It happened 3 days ago but somehow fixed itself again. I was troubleshooting the issue with my GNex connected to PC and installed Nexus Root Toolkit by Wugfresh. During install my phone rebooted on it's own and suddenly USB worked perfectly again!
However yesterday I forgot to charge and my GNex died. On reboot the issue was back.
"Symptoms":
Phone won't charge with any wall charger (and any cable) unless off
Phone will charge through USB in any mode but PC will not recognize it and install it as unknown device.
USB Debug Icon and Connection Mode notification do not appear in status bar upon PC connection
OTG doesn't work and apps like "Stickmount" do not detect external drives
Attempts:
Gently bending the "tongue" inside the micro usb on the phone in case there is a bad connection
Reinstalling drivers on PC
Rebooting device in different modes including fastboot
Using different batteries
NOTES
This problem started after latest 4.3 update. It has only occured after battery completely runs dry. I have 3 batteries (a bit excessive I know) and an external battery charger so charge is not the issue, I just really want to understand what's going on with my phone.
I'm not ready to Factory Reset or replace the USB port yet, those are last resort options to me. Any other options, especially software related, are very welcome. I am on stock 4.3 only rooted and with CWM recovery.
In Testing menu (type *#*#4636#*#* in Dialer) under Battery Settings my phone also says Charging (AC) when connected through USB. Hope this helps.
Been Googling around for two days now so I decided to make my own thread. Any help is appreciated. Sorry for this very long post.

Fixed it! Tried bending the tongue inside the micro usb again, forced much more this time, everything is working again, for the moment

Phone freezes when charging?

Hello. When I connect my phone with usb cable and charge it freezes. Sometimes instantly, sometimes after a few minutes. This started happening yesterday. I tried with 3 usb chargers, two different roms, always clean flash and still same problem. If I have screen on it stays on this screen, if the screen's off, I cannot turn it in, only battery removal helps. Any ideas? Could it be something with micro usb part on the phone?

yes, seems to be usb port issue.

It's just weird, it was working fine, but then I flashed new ROM (updated it actually) and since then I have problems ... From USB, lost IMEI, wifi ...
EDIT: previously I just clean flashed 6.0 ROMs. I switched back to 4.x and everything works fine now.
