Yesterday, I tried to charge my Galaxy Nexus (toro), which was fully depleted. It showed the battery icon like it usually does, but then it went kinda weird (idk how to describe it, look at the picture). Then it would turn off and do the same thing again. So then I charged the battery using an external charger, but the phone did not do anything, like it didn't even vibrate. If I connect a charger to the phone, I can get into the Bootloader, and if I go to recovery mode, it starts for like a second, but then turns off again. If it helps, it's the SCH-i515, running Unlegacy 4.4.4, and TWRP 3.x (not sure of exact version).

EDIT: I plugged it into a laptop, and it booted up just fine, but the battery was at 0% even after being left in an external charger overnight.
Maybe the battery is dead dead... Like when a car battery has a dead cell. It works when you plug it in because there's a charge going through. Do you have any extra batteries lying around that you could test. Just remember that you are fighting a losing battle against time which degrades battery life.

Hi,
I've been using HTC Desire for 6 months and I got this problem lately.
First, please have a look at the battery icon. What does it mean?

Second, during the day use, my phone just freeze for no reason. And when it's freeze, the screen is totally off and the notification light flash 1 green, 2 orange continuously. Then I have to take out the battery, plug it in and turn it on to use. It just happens so randomly.
Third, it happened just now. I played game till the battery gone and left it on the table and went to sleep. But when I woke up, plugin the USB charger (I forgot the main charge at work) and it didnt charge. I turned the phone on and saw the battery icon was like what appears on the screenshot above. I turn it off and on again, the battery became full magically
So what caused all those is the battery? And sometimes when I use the phone for a long time when the battery get hot, it's freeze like I described as well.
Anyone got in the same case as mine?
No one knows?

Guys,not to waste our forum resources but did you see something like picture above ? It went from 9% to 11% ,without a charging cable and with 4G on bt on GPS on ...
It is simply because the OS is still getting used to the battery ? US Verizon version ,ics 4.0.4 stock rom

From what I have read there appears to be some sort of auto calibration going on while the phone is on. It is giving you an estimate of the battery life and then realizing there is actually more than the original estimate so it's re adjusting the display of battery life.
My guess is it's similar to how if you are driving uphill (or downhill in some cases) your gas tank in your car may display an incorrect reading of the gas but once it levels out it reads correctly.
I could be entirely wrong but that is what I have pieced together from what i've read.
The reason is quite simply ... chemistry.
The battery voltage recovers (= goes up) a little bit after the battery was under (heavy) load. Thus the battery percentage displayed can go up a little bit, too.
TL;DR: It's magic!
Yes, the Galaxy Nexus has a great undocumented feature. If you leave it in a room on it's own for long enough it will eventually get up and plug itself in for a while, if it hears you coming back though then it rushes back into position and plays dead again.
I've had my phone for about 2 or so months and it hasn't been charging. More accurately, it's been charging extremely slowly. Ever since the first time I've charged it, it has yet to ever charge to full battery even when I leave Kris charged overnight. I've already changed the battery and that hasn't affected anything so I'm pretty sure it's not the battery's problem but the phone's problem.
I don't have any mega-draining apps downloaded or running (I always exit fully out of my apps) other than the default ones running in the background. I've also tried switching chargers to no avail. I've gone from the Samsung charger that came with it to another USB cord to a battery-only charger and none of them have worked. I charged it overnight but today when I disconnected the phone from the charger my phone just shut off.
If you could help me at all that would be very much appreciated
Could be a faulty charge port?
I had a similar issue and traced it to the charging cable. I swapped the cable (not the charger) between my phone and the wife's and the problem followed the cable. Got a new one and the problem was solved.
Best way to test is with the power off

Regardless of the level of charge, my phone will drop to a 0% charge seconds after rebooting and passing the lockscreen. Is anyone else having this issue or is there a way for me to diagnose what's happening?
The phone charges normally and holds the charge if I pass the lockscreen while plugged in. This only started happening in the past week or so.

You can see the drop shortly after 9pm in this image.

Sounds like a battery problem. Mine performed similarly, however I'm still on kit kat. But it was original battery with almost 2 years usage.
I have the same problem. It is not the battery. Only started happening after update to 6.0.
Despite this phone being just perfect in every other way, a couple of things​ about it is just frustrating the heck out of me. I don't know if it's just my device or if this is a normal thing, but my Pixel XL charges SUPER slowly. Taking about as long as an iPhone to reach 100% on low percentage and 40 minutes to an hour with 50% and above. My 6p charges faster than this using the same charger. Not only that, but my phone gets really warm when charging and slightly warm with general use. Does anyone else experience this?

I experienced just yesterday. Normally the phone charges about 1% every minute for me, but yesterday it was 1% every two minutes or something, got really annoyed, turned off the phone, charged normally! And yes, there was a little bit of heat too, nothing complaining worthy but it was there, but then again I use a full back case, which I will remove shortly. The phone/SoC has some thermal throttling surely, cause several times I noticed the phone's performance would drop down severely while charging.
