Did you try any other wall charger? It could be the charger itself, not the USB cable. Also, try a different outlet.

Device: Galaxy Nexus
OS / Browser / build number: 4.0.2 build ITL41F.I9250XXKK6
Kernel: 3.0.8-gaaa2611
AC adaptor output: 5v 1A
I have the same lack of charging issue.
I have tried 4 different micro usb cables, oem that came with the device, a HTC, a kindle, and a blackberry.
None of them charge the phone while its in the o/s.
While the device is powered off they all charge the device albeit very slowly when the device is powered off. I get the white charging icon of the battery with the bolt icon inside. Then it flicks to the animated charging icon for 3 or 4 cycles, then back to the bolt icon. -> loop that while it "charges"
Also in the o/s when i have the usb cable plugged in to the same laptop that used to charge it a few days ago (tested on all usb ports, and rebooted laptop + tested on other laptops). The device (in settings -> tethering) says i am not connected at all by usb to a computer.
Anyone else got this / solutions ?

I have this exact problem as well. Started yesterday!

Also having this issue, any solutions?

I think its a bug in Android my self..... but i did go to verizion and they gave me a different wall charger not made by samsung and I havnt had the problem yet... not saying it fixed it tho, because the problem wasnt always there, it only happened randomly.
It wasnt a problem with the battery its self, i had bought an extended battery trying to fix the problem and it did not.

I have the same problem now too.

Plug you phone in and go into battery settings. Does it say Charging(USB)? Both my Nexi had a faulty cable and both were replaced in 2 days for free from Verizon and the other from Samsung.

No, it doesn't say charging. My cables are fine...
This problem is sporadic. Sometimes it will charge and sometimes it won't.

I contacted amazon about mine doing this and they offered to RMA it. Couldn't charge it even running a custom 4.0.3 rom so had it replaced.

I managed to fix it, I suspect it was due to me updating my software to version 4.0.2...
I booted it into fast boot and wiped the cache then restored to factory defaults in fast boot...
My friend who I work with also has a Galaxy Nexus to but his O/S is running 4.0.1 mine was fine before I updated since I wiped it is seems to be ok since my first post.

I only noticed this when I used a different charger that used a cheap two wire mini USB and a lower amperage. To fix it I rebooted. OEM and off a computer have worked fine for me.

I've also had the same problem. It happened to me a couple days ago. I've tried multiple different cables and outlets with no success.
Does anyone know if a factory reset will fix the problem?
If not, I'll have to go get it replaced at Verizon.

Just a follow up. I tried everything, experienced the same issues as the OP and finally traded it in for new one at my Bell provider. The issue does not seem to stem from the battery as USB is also non-functional (which would not be affected by the battery not charging). If you experience this issue I would highly recommend taking it back to your reseller (if possible) or contacting samsung for repair.

I had the sane issues. Powering down the phone using quick boot app while plugged in worked for me. Seems like a sw prob. GSM nexus 4.03

Powering down with "quick boot" is no different than powering down manually. I have tried both methods and they do not work for me upon powering back up. I've also reset battery stats in recovery mode but to no avail.
The only sure method is to charge the phone while it's powered off. What's interesting is that I don't seem to have this issue with my other Galaxy Nexus phone.

agreed it should be the same, yet I got different results, and this was after changing chargers, usb cords, computers, wiping data, wiping battery, etc etc (note that charging worked while powered off, albeit slowly, throughout this. perhaps it was simply a coincidence, but that was the only variable I changed at that point, and it charging has worked since then.
I suspect that it's due to me using a (motorola) oem two wire (power only) ac cable, though I am not sure (while trying to get the phone to charge while powered on, I used three different samsung oem cables, and two batteries, so I'm somewhat convinced this is a weird s/w error, whether it's a driver or android itself). has been working since then, and to be safe, I'm staying away from said cable.

Cool. Have you unlocked and rooted your phone? I have, but did the same with my other Galaxy Nexus which doesn't have this problem.
Has this problem been officially reported to Google?

Stop using the Motorola charger, once it happens it sticks until a reboot. If it happens with the stock one after a boot you have a problem. My guess is the Motorola chargers don't play nice with other phones as I've seen oddities before with other devices and their charger.

I have no Moto chargers but I am using multiple chargers. My OEM Samsung charger hasn't been working for me and my phone almost died. Just powered off, connected my Rocketfish charger, turned it on and it appears to be charging normally now. The only other charger I use is a plain USB cable connected to my work computer. Hmmm.
Again, has this been reported to Google? Is it an issue related to root or no?

USB C just charging on one end when turned on

Hi everyone,
Something really strange happened to me last week (or at least I started noticing it last week)
First, when my HTC10 was turned on, it didn't recognize the charger at all, I tried different chargers and cables and the result was the same. If I turned off the phone it worked perfectly. I wiped the cache and tried again with the same result. I booted in safe mode and got the same result.
I hard reset my phone and loaded all my apps again and now the USB C just works when I plug it in a certain way when turned on(one of the two possible ways, impossible for me to know which of them). When turned off it works perfectly.
Does anyone has experienced this? I think maybe it's related with one app, since when turned off it works with no problem.
UPDATE:
I just hard reset my phone again and loaded NO apps but still the same behavior: when turned off USB C can charge the phone no matter which way I plug it, but when turned on it doesn't.

Power phone up with it plugged in. Does it charge then? I get that problem often. I've narrowed my problem down to when I start my car with phone connected on charge (using car charger). Won't charge after that till I restart phone. I'm assuming it gets over or under voltage and safety circuit kicks in until restart. In your case it might be a charger or cable problem (or combination of both).

I think the problem was the cable I was using, after a while it started doing some crazy stuff like saying that I was not using a powerful enough charger. After I changed it everything is working like a charm

I'm experiencing similar problems, but this happened to me after my phone totally discharged, i repost my experience:
Hi guys! i'm occuring in a big problem, i was wondering if anyone of you had this experience with this or others phones, two days ago my htc 10 was totally without battery and died, so i put it on charge, but nothing happens, no led on, if i try to power on, no signs of life, unable to make it boot, even after hours of charge, i noticed that the phone anche the charger were cold, instead of hot like it should.... but after hours, even without led indicator on, i trying to recover it, with surprise, it was hot, i tryed to power on, no signs, i tryed combination of power button and volume buttons and it booted into dowload mode, and after a millisecond it re-died, and booted normally with 65% battery. BTW from that point the phone is unable to charge if i plug the cable into it, nothing happens, but if i put the cable, when is off, it charges even after boot, i tryed to recalibrate battery but nothing happens....
today, one day later, it seems the things are getting better, i'am able to charge it without having to put the phone off, but i always got the message that the charge is slow.

Clean the connector on the phone, make sure it's nice and shiny.
Give the cables a buff up, reboot your phone.
Allow it to boot, connect the official HTC charger in the wall.
Connect the official htc USB c cable into the charger and unlock your phone.
Connect the cable to your phone.
If that doesn't work, try a different wall socket.
Are you on stock? Have you altered any voltages? Any quick charge mods?

If you can reverse the modifications you've done to it I'd be tempted to say take it back to htc and get it sorted. Shouldn't be like that. Personally that's what I'd do.

Phone not recognizing AC charger

Hi
I've been having a problem with my G4 for the past few days,
when i connect it to the wall charger it recognizes it as if it was charging
via USB not AC as it did normally, and when i connect it to my laptop it charges,
but won't let me use LG Bridge nor LG UP , and im not able to browse the internal memory
I've tried using several chargers and cables in several combinations with the same results ,
it only charges as AC with a no brand 1000ma charger that i had lying around and whatever usb cable i put on it.
is it possible that the usb on my phone is broken? or could it be something else?
already did a 3 factory resets and tried to flash a diferent firmware
but that's how i realized it didn't work on my laptop either.

and are the drivers installed? was it working before .? weird thing is you said it doesnt worked in another PC. make sure drivers are installed and i guess the usb cable could also be the cause.. it has happened to me that it wont recognized to transfer files. only way i solved was reformatting my Pc install drivers and voila.. but first make sure as its not working in anothe PC.

just tried on a third computer and nothing
all computers have drivers installed, tried several cables, i don't even care about connecting it to a computer
i just want it to charge normally with an AC charger

i tought you said it charges, but you cant browse files . then it must be something wrong with it. i guess send it in for repair or contact your retailer. or carrier.

yes if i connect it to a charger or to my computer it charges,
but when i connect it to an AC charger it shows up as charging as if it was connected to a USB port
so this makes it charge very slowly , taking hours to charge with a 2.0 qualcomm quick charger instead of a few minutes
when i connect it to any computer it charges but i can't browse files or connect using any software
i tried using several chargers , the stock charger that came with the phone, one from a G3 , a QC 2.0 charger, several samsung chargers, and others and only one shows as AC charging.
so yeah it charges but not as it should

did you tried ampere app from PS. so you flash back to stock using stock firmware. and samething. what variant you have.? its very weird. but the best thing to do is if u are under waarranty send it for repair...
my story its different. i have original charger.. i use ampere app adn measure and its a 1.8a stock G4 charger, when i use another Lg charger i think its 1.2 i get more voltage with the 1.2 then 1.8 i switched usb cables samething.. very odd too.

i have had the same issue i have been able to solve it (luckily i am trying to update to mm via lg bridge it gives an error after which my cell doesn't show on pc neither it charges as an ac via wall charger so heres what i did)
you need to do exactly as described
1: connect your cable to wall charger(mounted to socket=on) and mobile
2: turn off mobile(do not unplug cable until mobile completely off ~10-15 sec)
3: unplug cable after off
4: press power button and than insert cable (within 4-5 sec)
5: let it start (it should b on AC charging)

only way is to take it to telcel and have it fix. or search i have no idea.

just as an update, i took the phone to my carrier, to make a warranty claim, see if they could fix it, they sent the phone to LG and returned to me, said as i have the camera lens glass broken the warranty was void and they wont perform any repairs on the phone as it was cheaper to get a new phone, also they didn't tell me what the issue with the slow charge was, im under the impression that they only saw the shattered camera glass and said F**k it
im not sure if taking it somewhere else and replacing the usb port will help somehow

OP3 Nougat OTA dash charging

Well, I got official nougat update on my OP3 and everything is working fine. But I am not sure if dash charging is working anymore:
1, no blue LED, everytime I connect phone with dash cable and charger, I see only red LED
2, in battery settings there is just ordinary "charging from outlet", not a single mention about dash.
Anybody here with same problem?

Mine updated last night and I still get the blue light and the "dash charging" text on the lock screen

Reboot the device, it happened to me. Reboot fixed this. If that doesn't fix it then go into recovery and wipe user data. ALL YOU DATA INCLUDING INTERNAL STORAGE WILL BE WIPED SO PLEASE BACK UP FIRST!

WIping userdata wont help lol. Dash has nothing to do with the data partition. Try a reboot ;D

I already wiped all data right after update. Tried reboot few times with no luck.
//EDIT WUT, I tried charge with ordinary charger and THEN dash > Now it works! So I really don't know how I fixed it, but if you have same problem, you can try this. Or maybe these restarts fixed it.

Try pluging whole connector into dash charger, it can happen.

Have same problem since yesterday, even rebooted, still slow charge. I will try the idea with switching to ordinary charger and back next time.

My dash charging is not working. stopped suddenly recognising dash charger.
oxygen os 4.1.0. (non rooted)
dash charger and cable working fine. checked with other op3 it charges as dash. so that is not the issue. I have two separate dash chargers and cables. tried all iteration. my phone does not recognise that dash charger is used.
charging spped is great but the dash charging logo does not appear.
for all out there factory reset does not solve this problem. did it twice. cleaned cache etc.
SAD. Great hardware supported by very poor software. wake up OP

Hey all
If your dash charging is not detecting (even with a proper dash charger and cable) please check if it gets detected when connected to PC. Mine did not detect.
There is a problem with the motherboard and it needs replacement. A quick trip to the service centre should solve the problem.
However with change in motherboard there is change in IMEI number.

Your not alone... Mine is messed also

Charger connection sequence probably matters
I am using LineageOS v. 14.1 (Nougat 7.1 based), nightly build dated 27-Apr-2017.
Also I am using microG instead of GApps (no GApps installed).
Phone is rooted with SuperSU.
DASH charge worked well. But once upon a time the phone stopped to charge with factory DASH charger and factory DASH cable at all. But it was still being charged with third party chargers via factory DASH cable. When I connected DASH charger to wall socket, charging icon on the phone appeared for a second and then disappeared. No charging were noticed, battery percentage continued to go down.
Reboots did not help.
But what helped is unplugging DASH charger brick from the wall socket and plugging it back in socket many times. Maybe 5 or even 10 times. After one plugging charger in the wall socket the charge icon appeared and stayed in place. The charging circle started spinning, charging percentage went quickly up. It surely fast DASH charge since LineageOS does not tell DASH 4A charge from regular 1.5A charge but phone gets 100% charged in about 1 hour.
Possible cause of this issue may be using non-factory low current 0.7A charger and factory cable for a couple of times. I used to charge my phone intentionally slowly over night to get it charged in the morning and not staying charged all night while I am sleeping. Also such slow charging helped in the past my old phone batteries to perform better.
Hope this simple unplug-plug advise helps somebody.
UPD 08-May-2017:
After 2 days the problem reappeared. Done 4 brick plug-unplug attempts with no luck. After one attempt (5th overall attempt) plugging USB-A connector into wall socket plugged brick, the charging begun. So maybe phone wants us to connect Type-C connector to phone, DASH brick to wall socket and lastly plug USB Type-A cable connector to brick. Consider to check this later.
UPD 09-May-2017
Plugged factory DASH Type-C cable to phone, plugged factory DASH charging brick to wall socket and lastly plugged USB Type-A cable connector into the charging brick. Charging begun immediately. Phone claims it will be charged in 50 minutes from 5% to 100% which is possible only on DASH mode. Voila!
Conclusion:
Before cleaning cache and reinstalling software consider just plugging original factory charger in right sequence: USB Type-A connector of cable to be plugged in charging brick last. Plug Type-C connector into phone and charging brick into wall socket before.

Super & Fast Charging Plus USB debugging

Today my phone has stopped fast and super fast charging also when i connect to pc via usb it keeps loop connecting and has error code 10061 connection refused.
I have factory reset but makes no difference. Different cables and charger bricks don't make a difference.
Fast, super charger options are on.
S20 U with February Update
Usb works in downloading mode.
Anyone have an idea how to fix? TIA

I've also lost my fast and super charging after latest update. Factory reset did not fix the issue.

2 nights ago it started superfast charging again, then last night back to cable charging. Still cant connect to usb adb or usb otg.
Wonder if theres a glitch with the firmware.

Have you been able to fix the problem?
Since we cant roll back im waiting to see if an update fixes it.
It occasionally super charges about once a week.

I had rolled back to older versions with no help. I have tried other chargers and other people with my charger and it all worked except my phone.
I contacted my service provider and they asked me to send it away under warranty. I have received my repaired s20 ultra back, on the newest android version and everything is working. They replaced the main board. Turn around was actually very quick, about 4 business days.
Good luck!

Have you guys checked to make sure there is no trash in the USB ports.

Yes i have blown it out, used a shaver cleaning brush inside the port, even run the end of a sewing needle around. Shine a torch in seems pretty clear.
I could connect via usb with download mode with January update CU A8 but had to resort to update.zip this time.
Taking it in to get warranty repair.
