My gnex is not charging..i plug in and the battery symbol doesnt show charging..when i check battery in settings it shows not charging instead of discharging.
Another thing is that if i switch it off and plug in the white charging symbol occurs but after an hour when i switch on the battery is at the same percentage..
pls help :'(
Ive had those same issues..I went to charge it on my car charger and it instantly began working. The very next day I tried my hone charger again and it would work..Crazy thing is when the home charger wasn't working for my GNEX, it would charge my girlfriends phone just fine!!

Have had a charging issue as well, and solved it.
Hey there,
my SGN was not charging at all not even when turned off, started two days ago, the first evening it was only charging on one out of my three USB cables (each cable has its own wall charger).
Also my PC with "Win 8 Pro" was not recognizing my phone at all.
My first try was a bit stupid, but it worked, well for one day only. I bite on the USB cable, so the part that goes in the phone was a bit deformed, and the SGN was charging again. \o/
Next evening, I had the same problem again, but this time, non of my three cables was able to charge, even after further deforming tries.
My final solution was to use a needle, stick it in the USB port on the phone and bend the small "tongue" a bit up, so it was exactly in the middle.
My Phone was off and the battery removed. I put all together again and plugged the USB cable back in, it started charging while off.
Then I just turned it on, after booting was almost done, my PC told me that my SGN is connected and it was still charging.
I removed the cable, plugged it back in, several times, also on all three charger with its cables, finally my problem seems to be resolved.
btw. My SGN is from November 2011, so one of the first here in Europe.
I hope this can help some other with the same problem.

I had the same problem, GNex quit charging. Fixed it by using a toothpick to gently move the "tongue" in the USB port up towards the LED (screen side). I used a wooden toothpick as I didn't know what would happen if the connectors shorted using something metal.
Apparently, moving the USB plug around when it is in the port can move things out of alignment. Very easy fix, takes less than one minute. You could use a plastic pen cap or whatever you have lying around as a tool.
If you are under warranty, you could always ask for a replacement.
I had this problem a while back, first only some chargers would work and finally none of my chargers worked. In my case it seems like the problem was pocket lint tightly packed at the back of the usb port. The lint was grey and so tightly packed that I couldn't see any thing wrong. I used a fine tooth pick and got a good size wad out and the charging problem was solved. I always thought that the lint prevented the usb cable to be fully seated but maybe I bent the "lip" while trying to get the lint out

Well, I've left my phone on charge with the adapter charger and it was recharged. Now it seems to work also through usb
I got a new Gnex today because of this same issue. It would randomly not charge no matter what charger is was using. What's weird though is I never had an issue transferring files to my Mac and vice versa.

Thought that was lint but in my case even removing the lint it wont charge CORRECTLY -- with the original charger (it was uncharging after some movement).
Then I realize that forcing the usb plug to go more inside the USB port it works. What I did: Removed the black protection because it block the plug to go more inside the phone port. It's now metalic (lol) but not a problem of charging anymore.
I'd buy some heat shrink tubing for that before you cause a fire .

Sometimes it happens to me when battery's charged at 98-99%. Don't know the reason, and what I can do is to remove cable, reconnect it

Unfortunately, all that really does is shorten the battery's life. There is no benefit to forcing it to that feel good display of 100%.

Here's my full experience with my Galaxy Nexus charging problem --
I bought this one eBay, came with 4.1.2. Didn't even test charging before I updated it to stock 4.2.2 and rooted it, so I'm not sure if the problem developed after my software update, or if it always had that problem. The eBayer said he didn't know anything about it. I'm on stock rooted 4.3 now, and the problem persists.
The phone has never charged on any of the several AC adapters I've tried. These have been between 250ma and 1A, and they wouldn't work whether the phone was on or off. It would consistently charge when connected to my desktop computer, but that all changed a few weeks ago when I changed out my computer's power supply. Now, the only one trick I've found is to turn on WiFi, BT, GPS, and put the screen at 100% brightness, then plug connect my computer's USB cable, and it will go into charging mode about 35-50% of the time. This works OK, but one extra annoying bit is that when the battery reaches 100%, it stops charging, and won't start again until I do my little trick and replug the USB.
I tried replacing the USB port, but that didn't fix anything. As far as I can tell, that's the only part that can be easily replaced by a normal person. I'm basically managing this by swapping in batteries charged by an external charger.
Got major issue all of sudden and phone won't start anymore
I have been tweaking with my phone customizing it for like one year and didn't had any problem. I flashed with KitKat gummy ROM and then reverted back to 4.3 stock jellybean using ROM manager installed previous saved 4.3 stock rooted ROM.
Further installed clean master and did some advanced cleaning of cache files. WELL after reverting back I started witnessing some major flaws with battery charging status earlier with KitKat I wasn't using any battery saver app but after reverting back to 4.3 I installed DU battery saver and it would like take ages to charge my battery like 7-8 hrs but I wasn't paying much attention to this. I did some advanced cleaning with clean master, but anyways that won't clean any system files that would hinder the functionality of phone right?Problem started cropping up as I detached my power cable without switching off the supply ( even though I had done this previously many times before) , phone flickered/froze and switched off and won't start without external power supply even though i had 57% battery charge that too showed random status, sometimes 0% and sometimes 50+ %. This went looping for sometime then like it won't switch on even with power supply, just showing for a sec the battery symbol with bolt sign when the charging cable is inserted and going blank within 5 sec . It would show the battery icon sometimes and sometimes no sign just plain blank..
Well I tried different ways as suggested like pushing the small tongue inside USB to middle or attaching to laptop w/o battery and putting back n starting but all in vain, no response.
I am not sure any major fault has cropped in the charging circuit or is the phone bricked? Battery dead?
Guys do give some suggestions.. I have been charging using diff usb cables, no response but just that battery symbol for 5sec n going blank..even though i have been charging the phone is getting heated..but does that imply anything?
do provide some insights guys
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the awesome solution. It worked for me before a week. I faced the same problem and now this trick is not working for me ;(. Please help me out.
Read on... before you just see the post and start flaming.
Been having a helluva trouble with my Galaxy Note II since a month now.
It all started a day in April when I was on a weekend break and my charger just stopped working. Not the charger, but the charger port. I even tried a few other chargers and none of them worked, whereas my charger worked on other phones.
So after the weekend without a phone I come back home and read some posts on XDA about moisture in the USB port. I blow dry the port with the hair dryer and things start working again. After a couple of days of flawless working, again the problem comes up. But it is nothing that a few 'frustrating' 20 minutes of fidgeting will not solve and so goes life.
There have been a few days where it has gotten so annoying that the phone simply wont charge no matter what I do and which angle I place the phone (yoga for phones, anyone?). The phone has even switched off completely at times. Yesterday was one of those days when it simply wouldn't charge.
So again I spend a lot of time on XDA and Google and what makes consensus is that there is moisture in the USB port, or there is something wrong (loose connection) with the USB port and it needs repair.
Few facts before we get to that, and my point about this being a software problem.
1. The charger, when it works, works flawlessly irrespective of whether it is on the table or hanging by the charger from the power outlet. I expect that in case there is a loose connection, the position becomes very delicate.
2. The charger, when it works after moving the wire around for a while, keeps disconnecting occasionally even though it has been placed on a stable table surface and no one is disturbing the table. After some seconds, it connects back automatically and begins charging.
2. The phone works without any problem whatsoever when I plug it into the Samsung car charger - never once do I remember it not working
Now here are my findings from yesterday after I almost broke the phone in frustration.
1. On a whim, I decided to do a factory reset of my device. After fidgeting with the phone for 4-5 hours and it not charging, it magically started charging after the factory reset.
2. After the reset and a 1 hour charge, I updated all the default software on the phone - including 1 samsung update, 1 allshare update, and 1 push service update. Within a few minutes of this update, the charger started showing the 'loose connection' problems again. I also noticed that at times the phone screen would switch on for no reason - for only 2-3 seconds.
3. Again I reset the phone, and force stopped some samsung services and disabled as many samsung services as I could and I could notice consistent charging.
I subsequently installed some apps (not going full out as I want to observe the behaviour) and occasionally the charging stops. I then go into the application manager and shut down some samsung services and more often than not the charging starts working.
After all this circus, I believe there is something wrong with the Samsung services, the phone device drivers, or the MTP service. It does something when it detects a cable being inserted and causes a malfunction of the phone. This is what it looks like to me.
In fact the same problem happens when I plug in the phone to the PC too. The connection keeps breaking and the phone is just not usable from the PC. However the interesting thing is that when the USB / MTP breaks, the charge is still working and the orange light is glowing.
So, finally the XDA relevant question. Can you guys help me find out if it really is a software problem or just some strange co-incidence? Are there any traces that I can pull out to see which app/service is causing the problem? There are many apps/services that I would like to disable, but they are greyed out - is there anything that I can do about them?
Mind you that my phone is not rooted - so all the usually available apps might not work for me. I use the phone as a corporate device and I can't violate rules by rooting the phone.
Any tips, suggestions, ideas, flames?
Hi I'm having the exact same symptoms as you I wondering if you got to the bottom of the problem? Many thanks

Are you sure it's not the cable? Because many stock cables tend to be crappy, just try another one if you haven't. It doesn't have to be just loose connection.
Works here fine without issues, so doubt it's software. I rooted mine almost immediately, so can't say much about that though.
Ive tried 3 different cables and every time I plug one in s voice launches lol

Could be a problem with newer Samsung phones and their construction. I have a friend who has a Galaxy S3 (not Note 2) who's gone through FOUR phones so far -- all of them with the same problem of the charging port dying after a while. T-Mobile's insurance company is starting to give him dirty looks, poor guy ...
He gets intermittent charging before the phone stops charging completely. Now his phone is hooked up to the charger constantly while he's at home because of battery issues, so it's possible he's putting excessive strain on the charging port. My thinking is that it's a hardware issue rather than software, but who knows with these things.
mudge
my friend's note 2 having quite similar problem, every time plug in the cable, the phone start charging after some minutes. not the problem of cable, i tested the cable and charger with my phone. Plan to send it to service center.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Exact same problem for N7100 (international version)
I have been facing the exact problem described above. The service center has blamed water logging to be the issue. But seriously doubt it since the port seems to be working fine when it really functions. Also i noticed that when i restart my phone few times it starts to work fine(without me touching the charger cable or the charger itself). I guess its a lot to do with the software than the hardware
note 2 Gt-n7105 bootloops, with charger doesnt boot loop
Hi,
My note 2 seems to work perfectly fine when i connect my charger. But when I disconnect the charger when its full charge it turns off.
When I turn the phone on without the charger it comes on the screen where it shows the "samsung galaxy note 2 gt-n7105" its begins to boot loop.
Can someone please give me some solutions.
Has anyone ever solve this? I have the same on my S4....
I too have the exact problem of phone getting connected and then disconnected automatically in few minutes.
I fixed mine with the same issue
Power usage
Hi,
I first saw this when I was using my sat nav app in the car, I turned off the Performance optimised when plugged in option in favour of a lower power option and the problem went away. As I get more applications on my phone I see this more and more.
Could this be the power usage of the phone? The charge will supply 500ma, if the phone is already using a good portion of that the battery will not charge, so the phone shows the charge intermittently as the phone uses slightly more and slightly less power when the cpu, etc wakes and sleeps. More apps running uses more time on the cpu so more power. And of course as the battery gets older this would display itself more.
Just an idea based on what I've seen...
My Note 5 just started doing this, and only on the car charger using the Adaptive Fast Charge port. Charges for 2 seconds, off for 2 seconds, charges for 2 seconds. Using the normal port it charges fine, just slower. I have the Adaptive Fast Charge adapter at home and in the car, it works fine at home.
usb A3 usb issues
for mine it is intermittently not being recognised in file manager and also charging and then not charging round and round making beeping noises. This started when I dropped it partially in a bowl of oxtail soup. At the time it wouldn't recognise any cable at all. After I cleaned it with a cotton wool bud it was working again for ages but every now and then it wouldn't be explorable in windows. Now its acting up again, very difficult to get it to detect in windows, it starts charging when I plug in the cable but not in file explorer.
It's a real pain because its a samsung a3 which is difficult to open. I think really I will have to get it repaired - opened up and cleaned inside properly or have the usb port replaced.
I've watched many videos about mtp drivers and cleaning and bending the usb port a bit etc etc for many of you I think cleaning the port and/or bending the usb tab a bit would help, good luck.
Stop posting your damn problems so some one can answer it. Jesus look at the posts and see if there is an answer.l cuz you asking makes no difference because u have to scroll to the bottom to see an answer any ways. So just w8. Also ya it's software thing.... Samsung kinda sucks but what the hay I love them anyway even tho thay, including the expencive ones, are crap
Okay, this is a weird one that I researched and researched on the web. I think the problem is somehow related to the USB port. It would seem that my handset thinks it is always charging. I should qualify that statement by saying that with the handset unplugged from the charger and checking the SETTINGS > BATTERY stats it says "0 seconds on the battery" presumably meaning that the handset thinks it has a freshly charged battery and no time has expired since removal of the charger. However, it knows it isn't charging because it also says "89% Not charging". The other weird thing is the handset doesn't screen timeout when unplugged from the charger. That is, I have to hit the lock button to turn the screen off otherwise the 15 second delay doesn't work. I've also checked the developer settings to verify it isn't set to force the screen to stay on. However, the 15 second screen timeout delay works perfectly when the handset is plugged into the charger. After 15 seconds the screen shuts off and the red LED charging light comes on. Lastly, with the handset sitting idle with the screen black if I receive a phone call or text message but just leave the handset sitting there the screen lights up but it never times out after 15 seconds.
Any ideas if this is a USB port problem. I know it sounds like a firmware problem but I've checked just about everything you can think of. I've gone as far as to root my phone, backup all my stuff, then re-flash JellyBean. Speaking of USB port. Has anyone changed one out on a S2 Epic Touch 4G? I know that other S2's have a USB flex cable assembly but I can't seem to find one for this particular handset.

I had tried the toothpick trick that you and others had recommended. In fact it did make a positive difference but I still noticed there were still some strange things going on. I went back a second time but this time with a sewing needle and some magnifier glasses and picked it clean of lint and other junk. Of course with was done with the battery uninstalled. I think I'm back and up and running. We'll see if any of the problems come back. Thanks!

Using the toothpick/needle trick went a long way towards getting it to behave properly. Like you said, it was doing the "do-doop" thing intermittently and sometimes it would go into and out of charging mode so fast that unless you were astute you wouldn't have realized that what it did. To figure it out I went into SETTING > BATTERY and observed that the "discharge time" on the battery would typically stay at 3 seconds which told me the phone thought it had been plug into the charger.
For the last two days it would seem that I have fixed the problem. After you carefully clean out the USB port of lint and junk with a toothpick and a magnifying glass or readers you may also want to consider getting a can of compressed air to blast it clean. I'm talking about the kind of compressed air sold at Walmart or Office Depot that is used to clean electronic equipment to blast the dust away.
Let us know if you get it fixed!
I don't know if cleaning the USB port had an effect on battery time but I'm getting relatively awesome battery performance like I've never seen before. After 12 hours and very light use the cell phone still has 81% battery left on it. It used to be sitting at around 30% by this time in the day.
think im having this problem. thinking its a damaged usb port. old battery everytime you stick the battery in or plug it in it thinks its charging. new battery i just ordered does the same too. its still charging so ill see what happens after but i say charging port probably?

I went through the same exact thing...ordered a new battery thinking the original battery was at the end of its life and causing the phone to behave strangely. With the new battery in place the craziness continued. I was thinking the micro USB was damaged and needed to be replace which BTW isn't an easy thing to change out like some of the other Galaxy phones because the S2 uses surface mount solder connections. You'll need very good eyesight and professional soldier skills to do it right without effing it up. Luckily, doing an extensive cleaning of the USB port fixed the problem. You wouldn't think lint would be conductive enough to cause a problem but alas, it does. Use a toothpick and compressed computer cleaner air with the battery removed when you clean it.
I'll have to try with the toothpick later. It's weird when you go into setting and look at battery it knows when it's on charge and when not on charge. But soon as you put a battery in, it turns on by its self but to the charging screen and can't be turned on unless both charger and battery are in.
Will the battery percentage read accurate still I wonder?

Yup, that is exactly what I saw when I was having the problem. Basically what that screen shot is telling me is 13 seconds ago your cell phone made the "doo-doop" sound as a temporary short within the USB port fooled the cell phone into thinking it had the charger plugged in but just as fast as it thought the charger was plugged in the temporary short went away. In fact the "short" may have come and gone so fast as make it so that "doo-doop" isn't even heard. The key here in recognizing the problem is that while your charge may have been unplugged for hours you'll note the number of seconds that have gone by since the cell phone thought it was charging will be somewhere well under 60 seconds or at least that is what I experienced. I have every confidence that you have the same exact problem and you just need to thoroughly clean that USB port of every speck of lint and dust. Also, make sure your charger USB is clean and lastly make sure none of the pins on the USB connectors is bent and that that middle portion on the cell phone USB is right in the middle and not bent up or down in any fashion.

How did that happen?
BTW, don't forget...if the phone doesn't seem to want to power up hold the VOLUME UP and the POWER buttons at the same time for 15 seconds until you get the reboot option.

I'm in the same boat now [emoji22] Just happened a couple nights ago... Phone is plugged in but not charging. Not that big a deal, as I just got some spare batteries and external chargers. But now I've got to be super-cautious when flashing stuff, as I can't just Odin back without working USB

That's what I'm stuck doing now. I'm not gonna be switching roms anymore lol. Had to buy a universal charger for the battery
I had this issue with mine as well. At first it seemed to be the recovery but I reverted to stock unroot and it still happened sometimes shine blue to make it think it was completely charged I know this phone had a lot of hardware issues. And then I took it apart cleaned it and what not. It still happened. So after some time it just stop happening and functioned normally. I am unsure what the problem was or why it happened. The whole time I really couldn't charge my phone at all unless it was by computer only
A few days ago, my phone started charging very slowly. Fast charging wouldn't work. When I went into settings/battery, it says "charging via USB" instead of "charging via AC". I also have no fast charging, regardless of whether I play with the settings. I also have no OTG and my computer won't recognize my phone. I've scoured forums and found no credible answers. I have replaced my cables and brick, and I have tried it with my S6 and they work fine. I'm going to try a factory reset. Is anyone else experiencing this? And any suggestions?

A few days ago, my phone started charging very slowly. Fast charging wouldn't work. When I went into settings/battery, it says "charging via USB" instead of "charging via AC". I also have no fast charging, regardless of whether I play with the settings. I also have no OTG and my computer won't recognize my phone. I've scoured forums and found no credible answers.

Why don't you clean your devices USB port before you got to factory reset, bcz phones get a lot of dust and even mud in these ports mostly when people put them in their pockets filled with unclean things. And I have myself seen that my phone get mud like things in it after every couple of months and actually I clean it very rarely. So I think take a little bit of stick or tooth pick kinda thing and digg it around inside the USB port trying to clean the connectors and see what happens.

So, I did that, and yes, it worked. But now, it stops charging randomly. It charges and says charging via AC but then randomly stops

Than my friend I'm sorry to say that now may be either your phone needs to be repair to the extant of USB port or you have not clean it that much a paper pin cleaning the connectors heads may work if it indeed is so much dirty but things sometimes go far beyond our thoughts and they need to be done the way they want it.

I picked up my Note 10+ about 3 weeks ago. Last Friday I ran my battery to 6% before I got to my car where I had a charger. Finally plugged in my phone and it was charging extremely slow (1-2% in 20 minutes of driving, no usage screen off). I have a duel USB plug, so I switched to the other plug. Right when I plugged it into the other one, I got the moisture detected error. Restarted the phone, and right at boot there's a notification talking about waiting for connection to a PC or something. It's never been connected to a computer mind you. The moisture detected error hasn't gone away since. I've gone as far as doing a full factory reset.
My question is; is there a fix or do I have to call Samsung for a hardware issue?
This sounds like maybe some dirt got inside USB port and is shorting a pin, or lint makes bad connection? Before resetting or doing something drastic first I would try another wire, then I would blow some clean, dry air into USB port to clean it. Use flash light, maybe can see some obstruction? If that don't work clear cache, then reset, then trip to Samsung in that order. This is all assuming the USB port is not actually wet, but I guess that would be the first thing and already checked.

You probably got the phone wet. That should go away after a day or so, it's Samsung's safeguard against damage to the phone but it definitely is annoying. When I had my S8+ I would get that every so often after being in the pool with it. I always used wireless charging so the error never bothered me.

Tried all those, was hoping there was something else instead of waiting for Samsung to send me a new (possibly refurbished) one.

It happened Friday, it's now Monday. If it were water it would have popped up right when I plugged it in the first time, not after switching USB ports in my car.

Power off phone, plug in charger and then boot up phone while connected to charger.

This is a long known issue since type c ports appeared, at least with samsung S and note devices, I encounterd it in my note 7 and 8, it is very hot and humid where I live, any lint or tiny piece of debris can collect moisture, in my case I just cleaned the port by blowing air into it, on a regular basis
I experienced this behavior with my old Note 9 now and then. There was no moisture. The only solution was restart.
I had this problem on my note 9.. Did blow dry.. Factory reset.. Changing charger cable n every possible solution mentioned online.. Dint help..
Middle of a night some weird idea struck suddenly! i WASHED the usb port under running water.. Let it dry till morning n plugged the charger.. Voila! Problem gone that never returned!
This is what happened to me on my Note 9. I found this solution somewhere but can't remember where.
Go to Settings>Apps>Go To Menu Icon and select Show System Apps>scroll to USBSettings>Click storage>Clear Data & Cache.
Hope this helps.
note 10+ got an update last night and after that this message hasnt went away. Ive tried every solution here different cable, alcohol, toothpick, qtips, clearing cache on USB settings EVERYTHING. Nothing has worked how do I disable this stupid ****. The alarm is annoying and my phone is now at 5%.
Anyone?

You've gotta give XDA users a little more than 2 hours...
If your hardware is faulty, which it now unfortunately sounds like, your only option is to speak to Samsung.
If the port is dry and free from debis, there isn't much else to do.
Spammy is at it again, Anyway to remove the charing notification that dims the screen and appears in the middle of the screen?
Charing cable is loose and when driving it keeps dimming the screen while trying to use GPS, man Spammy your a big time FAILURE !!
Just ran into this problem tonight.....googled, tried all the force close/clear data etc solutions and none worked....then stumbled across my post on the 1st page....did that and it instantly worked......
Power off phone, connect charger and then (instantly) press power button for 2 or 3 seconds...(in my experience, hold it for less time then would constitute a boot up sequence) ....it then immediately showed the "powered off" charging ring with percentage.. then i did a longer press to get it to boot....all is well now, charging again.

Some sort of contamination. Good fix.
Best to use distilled or RO water.
A anhydrous isopropyl chaser rinse afterwards perhaps as well.
The warning is a good safety feature; charging with wet contacts can greatly accelerant corrosion and short out or damage contact surfaces. Sweat has a lot of sodium chloride in it too, not what you want to have on 2 metal surfaces with a voltage potential between them.
I had it activate once from rain. Lol, no port cover.
Carefully used a blower bulb to help it dry. The warning normally should clear once the moisture is gone. Do not use high pressure compressed air.
Low pressure, dry air will most times do the trick if mere moisture exposure is the cause.

That's crazy, I've also tried everything, (cleaning, resetting etc) and nothing worked, but this tip worked. I had to try 3/4 times because the timing is very important but right now is charging, let's see if it will last or the problem will come back again.
In the meanwhile, thanks man!
I solved it going to download mode, disconnecting device, restarted and connected to the battery charger...
it's very strange

One more thing to note (ha!)
The other day when i had this issue and fixed it, it happened again....after resetting it a 2nd time i plugged in and slightly wiggled charger plug....and sure enough it popped up again.....i immediately assumed my charging port was going bad...while Google-ing the replacement method i stumbled across a YouTube video where the guy mentions using a pin to "dig" around the sides of the charging port...and sure enough out popped a good amount of pocket lint...once cleared out, no more wiggling and no more error....So definitely give that a shot if the problem seems to persist after clearing the message. Saved me a headache and some dough!
