Hi. I bought the Pixel C and the official keyboard used from 2 different people but both devices are practically new.
I have tried this twice now. When I stick the tablet and it's keyboard together in the evening, the keyboard charging features drains the tablet's battery flat. Anyone else experienced this? Any fix other than not putting them together? (What they're meant for!)
I tried this on mine last night and over a period of approx 12 hours the drain on the tablet's battery was just 5% from 98 down to 93 so I would think there's more going on with your tablet than just charging the keyboard?

I occasionally notice that when I put the keyboard and pixel together, I will accidentally turn the screen on, or maybe its the keyboard that does that. Anyway, I've had it happen where the screen remains on. Maybe it's caused by putting the keyboard on backwards? Anyway, the result is that the screen stays on and drains the battery. I would check that. I think maybe the magnets, if they are misaligned, keep the screen on (like it always detects that one of those "magic" covers is on).
Other than that, I haven't noticed any drain from my keyboard. In fact, since updating to Oreo, my overnight battery drain negligible (like 1%).
OK but it happens when the tablet is switched off. How can a tablet that's turned off have any apps draining the battery? The screen and keyboard are put together the right way and there is no misalignment. Anyone else having this issue or is it just me?? It's quite bad, I might have to get rid of the keyboard but I need it.

Do you mean off as in "screen off" (brief touch of the power button) or off as in "power off" (from a long press of the power button)?

Had a conversation with Google support about this issue yesterday; as much to satisfy my own curiosity as anything else. Apparently, the drain on the tablet is the same, when charging the keyboard, whether the tablet is fully powered down or just screen off. The electronics is such that once the keyboard has completed a full charge, it drains no further power from the tablet's battery. However, when I asked the question "what if the battery is sub-optimal or worn out?", the answer was "we have no way of knowing what the drain on the tablet's battery would be under those circumstances..." (!)

I meant actually powered off. I delayed replying because I wanted to test it further. For several days the battery charge was fine in the morning whether the tablet was powered off or not. This morning though I found it completely flat again. I had left it switched on, with battery saver on and stuck to the keyboard. The tablet was hot also... Very annoying defect as this will prematurely kill the battery which, I believe, is not replaceable.

Having the same issue with the keyboard. The keyboard is also charging when it's behind the tablet, and the battery on the tablet is drained out overnight. It also gets hot from the charging. No fix unfortunately, it seems.

Hi guys, this morning my desire was vibrating like mad, it was plugged in charge overnight, the screen was off and it was constantly vibrating, so I took the battery out. When putting it back in the phone wouldn't turn on and when holding the power button constantly down it would vibrate again like mad :-$ any ideas?? Thanks
How often does it vibrate? Seven times? If yes, then your phone might be bricked.
SwiftKeyed from dGB with Transparent XDA App
Its a constant vibrate, I changed my battery and the phone switches on and works fine
Its just my other battery. Could this mean the battery got overcharged and is now damaged? Any tips?

Such information would have fitted perfectly in the initial post as well.. From OP there were no indication that your phone turned on at all.
But yes seems likely, and if it doesn't work then throw it out.
Funny enough i put that old battrery back in, and after a few presses of the power button, it switched on, i put it on charge, and currently it was showing 0% but charging, and its charging very slow now :-s could this mean something else? because the battery was on charge overnight. Would a battery calbiration sort this problem?
p.s the battery is only 2 months old, being a genuine htc innovation one, it shouldnt go that quick i assume.

Probably.. It most likely won't ruin you phone, so keep using it, if it still works.
ok that battery is not charging at all, stays at 0% while plugged in, and if i switch the phone off and let it charge, then after a few mins the fone starts constantly vibrating like mad, i went into recovery - advanced - wipe battery stats as well but its still doing it, should i assume it is the battery which is completely gone now?
With my 2nd battery its working fine as normal.
It must be the battery, time for the bin I think...
Swyped from my CM7.1 Desire using XDA Premium App
Last night i was using my phone right before going to bed. The battery was at about 18% or so left. I got up to get a glass of water then came back to plug the phone in to the outlet only to notice that the red led was not on. I pressed the power button and nothing would happen. The phone completely shut off without interaction. So I panicked a little and plugged to PC USB cable that was attached to my PC and nothing. wasn't detecting or anything. so I press and held the power button and plugged it in at the same time and it powered on again. Anyone know what could have happen?
Only time i faced this problem was when i tried to drain my battery completely. it wouldn't shut down on its own when it reached 0%, so i turned it off myself.. The next moment is wouldn't boot or charge also. Then i held the power button and it came back to life.. Don't know what the exact cause is though

Yea it kind of turned me off on the phone. But I still love it. anyone else have a similar issue like this? I'm hoping that it is the power management issue that some people are having as there is a quick fix with that. I was avoiding rooting or modding my phone, but I might just have to now.
i'm a noob so i don't know much about most of this, but this really sounds like the way my ipod functions if i let the battery "die." i can't imagine that any manufacturer making a phone with a non-removable battery doesn't have it set up to be rechargeable upon plug in.

Ye, furthermore i've read that this is cause but letting the battery ''die'' indeed, it takes time to charge it back up because when you let it die some kind of undervolting protecting is kicking in i guess and soon after it will start to charge
So I'm having a problem where I drained my battery and the phone shut itself off with 1% to 2% battery life remaining. I've left it charging for a good 45 minutes now. Turned it on, and it reported 1%. Thinking that it was just a reporting error, I unplugged it, and the phone promptly shut itself off. Now another 30 minutes has passed, unplugged it, turned it on. The phone refuses to turn on! It will however show the battery charging animation, so I know it's not bricked or anything. I guess my only solution is to leave it charging while it's off overnight, even though I need to use my phone right now... That important person will have to wait :crying:
Edit: Works again... Though it does not show my battery life correctly. It says 15% when it's probably more like 2%.

Might want to use a different cable.. i have read that the cable and possibly even the wall adapter can be flakey.. if you have a spare cable try to use it instead of the lg one..
Original LG cable is fine. It's ever since I drained the battery it's started to act weird. I plugged it in at 3% in hopes of "calibrating" the batterystats and it was charging fine. Up till now. I caught a glimpse of my phone turn itself off while charging.
Now it's randomly decided to turn itself on and bootloop... And back to charging animation while off we go. What the hell? The battery isn't charging... Switching cables didn't help btw.
Found a third cable. Temporarily working..

Hmmm maybe the charger? Sounds to me like its not getting proper power hence the shutting down while plugged in.. but what do I know heh
I have the same problem. Plugged the phone in at about 3% and walked away. Came back an hour later to find it stuck in a loop of the LG logo and a black screen. I can sometimes get it into recovery, and from there see that the battery percentage will go from 0% to 15% and back to 0%. It's like the battery is bad.
I think it's a problem with the ROM/firmware where we can't drain it and hope to charge it up again..
I'm still running v1 of the jb release and last night I used my phone until it shut down at 2%, charged it up fine, and its been ok, knock on wood. One weird thing is that if I use the phone while on the charger, and I mean light tapatalk usage, the phone will drop to 99%, even while plugged in. Weird.

That's normal. When the phone is charged at 100% it stop charging to avoid the battery to be overcharged thus reducing it's durability.
Not charging again... My phone maintained a charge between 10% and 25% or so according to the battery usage graph. So I switched cables again. I went into the service menu and got a screenshot of the charging test this time. First pic is with the LG cable. Second is with a Samsung cable. Third picture is back with LG cable after the battery successfully got charged past the "low battery zone" with the Samsung cable.
I have a similar problem with the stock charger. After a few weeks of working perfectly, it just sopped charging my Optimus G.
Bizarrely, it charges my wife's Galaxy S2 HD LTE without issues.
And the charger from my Sony-Ericsson Xperia pro charges the Optimus without issues.
It's almost like the stock charger burns out something internally such that it doesn't output enough voltage/amperage/current.
Sent via the magic of an Optimus G (E971) running CM 10.1.
So it happened again... But this time, it occurred in between 20% to 40% battery life while charging. It's probably the LG cable.. Gonna call support and ask for another.

I have a similar situation -- I powered down my phone one time at 5 %, did not wake up until one hour of charge, then last night tried again with about 40 % of battery left, same problem. I was wondering at first if the phone did not go to power down properly, and that the battery would drain through that, but then I just did another test with my battery at 30 %, and the phone did not want to restart until plugged in for 5 minutes.. It's almost as if the booting process is just this huge battery drain, sucking all the juice to start the phone in a peak of electrical rage.. anyway -- I noticed that yesterday, I was trying to restart the phone after a while, it would start to boot but it seemed it owuld just miss a little bit of juice to complete the process, then finally when it made it to screen it was at about 10 %..
Could it be that fix we used in the stock rom to get the screen at more than 65 %, and the cpu at 1512 mhz ? It seems more software related than hardware in my case, meaning I don't beleive it is the cable
Hate to revive an old thread, but as the new owner of an LGOG i just ran across this problem the other day. My phone has been able to go two day on a charge, and last week I forgot to charge it on night. Found it dead the next day. was leaving so I took it intending to charge at work or in the car. Car charger had no effect, but upper portion of phone got hot. plugged it in at home, same thing, charging icon, getting hot, but not charging. Also noted dim screen glow all the time.
tried 2o second hold on power button, vol up and down, got into the download screen and the bootloader screen, but no charge. Finally held the power button and vol. up and red charging light came on. Held it for a minute and the red charging light stayed on, let go out it went. Decided to try a couple of rubber bands around the phone to hold in the buttons, and it worked ---phone charged fully and operates as usual.
Thought I'd pass my experiance on to help anyone else with similar problem. Any idea why this worked?
I don't know, but I do know that getting to android 4.3 roms like the ones in Houstonn's thread have cured my O. G. from that, and from also constant and random camera reboot, and from also maps freaking out when plugged in in the car..

For anybody that runs into this problem
I had this problem and tried for hours and hours to fix it. When you stick the usb charger into your phone, it literally takes like 5 hours to charge 2% when it's in this state
So it never gets to a point of wanting to turn on because the phone gets too hot trying to charge
My solution: Put a bunch of ice in a bowl, then put something over that like a bag, aluminum foil, basically anything that would be a barrier between the ice and your phone to keep it from getting wet
Now let it charge with the phone sitting on top of that ice for a few hours(make sure to add new ice as it melts) and your phone will charge up enough that it can be fully turned on. Then just let it keep charging
This worked for me after trying other things for hours. If this didn't work i was gonna open the phone and pull the battery
After the last update I have not had this issue. I've run my phone dead a few times and now it always charges - no issue.

Last fall. I had to go to the stock rom, do the update, reroot, then all was fine.
So there is this problem with my HOX.
Every time my battery goes down below 20% my phone switches off itself if i use more than 2-3 apps simultaneously.
I am not able to use phone below 20% most of times as soon as i plug in, I can use it again :/ weird!
This has been occurring for a while a now.
I have tried flashing different roms but still the problem persists.
Is there an issue with my battery? Or is it something else?
Although the Gsam Battery Monitor shows thats battery is good.
Any thoughts?
Any help is much appreciated!
No body?

Don't know if this will help and may be unrelated, but is the battery charging ok? I have been working on a friends HOX which is having battery issues, in a similar problem it keeps shutting down before the battery runs out, and was seming to charge ok, but the battery drained quite quickly after charging. In the end I replaced the battery(as the old one wasn't holding a proper charge) with a new one which seemed to fix the problem and also seemed to charge fine for about a week and then started having charging/shutdown issues. I'm yet to have another look at it but have been trying to find out more about the problem, if it is the charging circuit it can aparently be re-calibrated by holding the vol up, vol down and power button down similtaneously for 2 minutes. Don't know of this will help, but it is the only thing I can come up with that may explain the problem.
Had this today when my phone died and while it was charging on 2% it turned off.
I think it's just the cpu pulling power the batter simply doesn't have though I've never had it on anything about 5%.

Hey everyone. I have huge problem with my Galaxy Nexus i9250 for few days now.
Let me start from beggining.
First it was showing charging symbol even if it ain't plugged in. Then it stopped after I cleaned charging port.
Few weeks back there were great floods in my region (Bosnia) and we were in lack of electricity so I started to charge it on a car charger and after it's completely charged (2h) as soon as I start to use it the battery goes off really fast, example, if I use it for let's say calls or even on "stand by" after 30mins the battery goes for like 40%. That's when problems started to begin. If it was turned off becuase of lack of battery I had to turn it on by pressing "Down volume + power" for first 2 times. Then I had to remove battery for few seconds then put it back not completely but I had to press the battery against those 4 pins which conduct electricity to a cell phone and press those two buttons for like 30 seconds to turn it on. Few days ago, I had same problem, but this time it wasnt empty on battery, it was in my pocked with almost 50% of battery when I took it and I saw it was off. Tried again that same proccedure, it turned on, showed recovery menu and it turned off. Ever since I can't turn it on, it charges, but it doesn't show charging indicator on my screen. When I put my battery in other phone it shows it's fully charged. I can't turn it on, my PC won't reconize it, let's say it's dead. I don't know what's happening, so I'm asking here if anyone knows what to do. Thanks to all.
sounds like a battery + charger issue

You must verify the voltage output of the car adapter you were using with the phone , remember that the fact it has a micro USB does not mean its designed to the specs of your phone, sounds like the battery went berserk after it was charged with that car adapter ... you should not tinker more with the phone and get a new battery and the original charger for it , if you can or are able to ...

Thank you Frank. I already tought nobody will reply to this. So you think if I buy new battery and charger cell phone will start to work?
Car charger was combined, USB cable from Nokia and car adapter is for let's say every cell phone. I have original Samsung Nexus wall charger I got with that cell phone and it charges the battery it just wont turn on the phone. Either PC doesnt want to reconize it, tried with Device Manager to see if is there anything but no. Thank you again for your reply.

No, I'm unable to see battery charging indicator. But when I lick the battery you can feel the electricity. Yea, it's stupid method but it does the job. And when I put it in another phone it says it's almost full 99% to be exact. So battery... Gonna buy a new one.

Alright, i have been sailing in the same boat, my i9250 has not been charging for quite some time.
Now for all most few months the phone is charging without any problem. I suspect the Google Search application could be the reason. I uninstalled all the Google Search application update and kept it to the one come by default. Since then i am able to charge my phone without any problem. The Google search version that i have is V 2.2.9.542574.
Try it out. All the best!!
