Ive been having this issue with my GNex since I got it. I believe the previous owner had the same issue which is why I got a great deal.
When plug the phone in it will show a lightning bolt through the icon in the corner and the lock screen says that it is charging. When I go to the battery screen, however, it always says "not charging". Most importantly, the phone doesn't charge.
It will connect to the computer via usb cable.
When I first got it I found the micro-usb jack was all mangled, pins were all bent. I assumed this was the problem and I replaced the jack with a new one. The problem did not go away. Not only that but I built a cradle charger that uses the pogo pins and that ALSO doesn't work. I do not believe it is software related because this problem has persisted over major updates. Its running stock 4.2
Has anyone seen this problem before???

Same story for me
I do. Same story for me. Bought it used, Opened up, fully charged, used it, loved it. Two days and i put it to charge overnight. Next morning, phone is powered off. But connected, and it says its charging. I have the exact same issue. Changed the USB charging module ( thought about making a POGO cradle) , bought new batterys ( even a hyperion 3800) , wall charger for the batterys.
Issue is not gone. Im using the phone at the moment with a PowerPack 2200mah . So it thinks it is connected to sumthin and not using the battery. Anoying but it lets me use my phone. Sometimes it charges to 20-30% , 60% once . But the issue is there. I've read a lot and i think is not the charging module itself but the MAX17040 fuel gauge chip that reads the SoC on the batterys.
Anyone else?
My old roommate had this problem and sent hers in for a replacement.

Sorry, you replaced the jack of the wall charger or the microusb module inside the gnex? If i understood correctly and the wall charger had a jack with bent pins, that means that almost certainly either the bent pins damaged the microusb module of the gnex or the damage to the pins was maybe caused while charger was connected to the phone. The fact that the phone still connects to the charger still doesn't mean there is no damage, it could be just a pin, the "wrong" pin, to be damaged.
Replacing the microusb module is not something too difficult with the gnex and it's not too expensive either. You could think about looking for a spare part online and replace it.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I replaced the microusb module inside the phone.
My current strategy is to use an external battery charger and two batteries.
I think this is software related. It just happened to my Nexus 4 today. I rebooted it and it fixed itself.

Pretty sure its not software related. I had this problem in 4.1 and now I have it in 4.2. Unless there is some more basic software that is not updated with the OS.

I eventually gave up and went to the verizon store where i briefly explained to the lady "it only charges to a certain level no matter the battery" and she said alright no problem and had my a like new replacement 2 days later.
in one of the above threads someone tried replacing the microusb board and it resulted in no change.

I've seen one or two of those and many others but they are all somewhat different than my issue. My phone doesn't seem to charge at all. It doesn't start and stop prematurely, it just thinks it's starting but I have yet to see the charge go up while its plugged in.

Help pls! I have had this for about 2 weeks, no issues. none. suddenly from today morning, my screen wont shut down. Even when i press the power button it comes back up. and the battery status goes to "usb charging" once every 15-20 secs. it flashes usb charging, screen goes on, then the charging symbol dissapears. it keeps happening, phone screen wont turn off. been happening the past hour n half. i wiped battstats. i did factory reset. wiped again. nothing. keeps happening. wat do i do?????? right now i am letting it drain, when drained fully, m gonna charge it up and see if it happens again. m on aokp build 11/franco's 7.1.
I think you should sent the telephone to SAT
faulty usb
Had this on a water damaged galaxy s2. Replaced the usb flex cable and that solved the problem. Check the usb connector to make sure it doesnt have any dirt stuck in it.

wat usb flex cable?? you mean the charger cable or the connector on the phone?
I had the same issue the other morning. Blew on the connector a few times and it was gone. The charger that came with my Gnex made a high pitch noise (probably the caps) so I stopped using it. Haven't had the problem since.
i havent ever used the gn charger. i use the usb cable from my kindle. no probs so far, suddenly today!!!! even i blew on the connector, nothing happened so far.
i drained the battery and i am charging again, lets c.....
In the meantime, any more help pls????
this is the issue.

Did you both (having this problem) use non GNex chargers? You should really only use the charger that comes with the phone

well my problem hasn't re occurred. It got magically solved.
And you should research your things before you post,it has been widely discussed in this forum that it is just a standard micro USB cable. I used another standard cable from my kindle and galaxy s phone. worked perfectly till now. Now after this problem I used a Nokia charger which worked perfectly as expected.
My guess is that some particle got inside the uncovered USB port causing some unwanted connections.

Scene from "Full Metal Jacket"
I love that movie
I've been experiencing some problems with charging and I read in out of the threads that I could use a bit of electrical contact cleaner and it would work. And now my screen protector is ruined and my phone won't fully turn on. It boots up, vibrates then it turns off. What do I do I'm freaking out right now. I'm going to put it rice to see if that works at all Anybody know what I should do I'm really scared right now.
Exactly what did you use? Link to the product.
Yea a little more detail on what you used would be very helpful.
Jesus I feel like the biggest idiot of life. You guy don't realize how F*cking stupid I am. After being in a complete rush I used the wrong type of cleaner. So After I soaked it in rice and took it out I actually used a proper Electrical Contact cleaner and and now everything is fine. But I am now certain that the cable is done because it wasn't charging or showing that it was plugged in so I used my friend's Blackberry cable and everything is fine. I'm so relieved right now.

Lol glad to hear that its fixed.... we all make mistakes
Thanks, the only problem I'm still back to is that it won't charge, which is what was happening before. I am not sure whether it is the charger itself or the micro-usb charging port (Which I could replace). Phone thinks it's charging with the lightning bolt in the top right, but it won't charge...if I go to battery in the settings it says discharging but in the charts it that it was charging all this time.

Tbh I don't know but this is a educated guess.... seeing that it shows that its charging on the phone means that its receiving the charge. A good test would be to take out the battery and plug your phone into the charger. If it works that means that the port is OK and you'll need a new battery. If not then its the port. Hope this helps.

What do you mean by if it works, as in if the phone boots up and works normally when plugged in?
When you take out the battery and plug it in to the charger it should work normally as its getting power from the plug.

Well that's odd..... idk
Meh whatever, I smelled and it was just the smell of the wrong cleaner I used, luckily it was just on the plastic parts so I'm safe, I disassembled the rest and found the charging port. I'm ordering a new one for $10 shipped from NJ and not from HK so I should get it soon. Thanks for your help btw. I really appreciate it. :good:
Good luck bud
Update: I just replaced charging port literally just now and it still won't charge. It still says "Charging" but it's not charging. In the Settings it says discharging.
Could it be the battery? I'm thinking of buying a new one and seeing if that works.
Updated Update: The 6% that had remained on my battery before I took my phone apart to repair it is now gone leaving the battery with 0% charge. But, I believe I may have found the problem! If the phone is unplugged from my charger and I try to turn it on it won't turn on at all. But if I plug it into my charger it will boot up past vibrate to the Nexus logo (The X) and then it dies out. I think that the problem is in the charger that has a input voltage drop so it's not charging enough to keep it going. I'm going to use my friend's Samsung Charger (From his Galaxy S II) to see if that will solve the problem.
All,
I have two P5210 - 10.1 tablets.
Charging the 1st one with a certain charger - very fast, no issues
Charging the 2nd one with the same charger - very slow (but it charges)
Please note that I did replace the internal USB-charge-cable recently of the 2nd device because before that the tablet
did not charge at all.
Because of this I did not use the device for many months so the battery was really really empty.
How slow does the 2nd tablet charge? Well, using the charger mentioned above the battery went from 0% to 17%
in about 3-4 hours ... then I charged it overnight (7 hours or so) and it was around 28%.
Of course I do suspect the new USB-charge-cable being the issue but how does that impact this?
I mean: it charges, or it does not; If it charges then it must be connected correctly (it's hard to do it wrong).
Any ideas??
Thanks!
This tool will help you figure out, these question like this no one can have particular answer as lacking information
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...usb+power+current+and+voltage+tester&_sacat=0
You have 2 identical tablets. why don't swap the battery to see any difference ?
Use the USB tester, current should be 1.5-1.7Amps, voltage should be 5.1--5.2 Volts with good cable, charger, usb charging port.
If below that readings, either bad charger or bad cable or bad USB port. The last resource is cracked battery connector, this one require skill and magnified glass to see the solder joints . This battery connector is prone to crack and is the major problem of charging. If swapping a good battery and problem persists, this is where you should look

Troubleshoot to component levels is not recommended as it's hard to find components and you have to know the schematic of the board.
It's best to find a broken screen tablet or working mainboard or not working mainboard to swap components like this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...259216?hash=item3d3dd33e10:g:TjsAAOSw2kZZbcs3
This is an obsolete tablet and only worth around $70 to $80, nobody is going to spend time to fix the mainboard.

What do you mean by for fun? I need to swap the components and have the tab fixed. 30 USD for the mainbord is not much for the tab you showed me.
Maybe you meant the mainboard to buy might have the same issue
Fixing the mainboard just by guessing as you do, probability is 50/50 when buying another not working mainboard.
If you're lucky, it has different problem. Bad luck if it has the same problem as yours.
As in US, nobody bothers to fix these old model's mainboards because new one is not much expensive. With $150, one can buy a Note 2014 SM-P605 or Tab A 2016 SM-T580, or the Tab A 8.0 SM-T350 for only $80. However, I understand that other countries, they have no choice other than fixing whatever they have.
Hello,
I would like some insight on a problem that I am having with a Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90.
I just bought the phone two months ago during a trip I took to Singapore. It worked fine for about a month before the problem started. The phone never fell down, into water, overheated or anything like that. The problem started suddenly, without an apparent reason. Alas, the local Lenovo branch refused to honor the warranty, claiming that they only take in "EU models".
The problem is that the phone will not charge while it is turned on. It does not even "see" the USB cable getting plugged in. If I turn it off however, it charges just fine, all the way up to 100%. I also noticed that the battery drains faster, for no apparent reason, without any apps running. It most definitely is not a software problem, I did a hard reset at first, it did not work and then, just to be sure, I even flashed the latest official ROM using QFIL.
Do you reckon there is any possibility that the problem is caused by the battery, or is it definitely mainboard-related? If there is any chance that replacing the battery will solve the problem, I could order one online and I am competent enough to replace it myself, but I do not want to get into an ordeal if there is not even a remote chance that it would fix the problem.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thank you in advance.

Yes. A bad charger was the first thing that I considered, so I tried another 2 A charger and then even tried it with a 50 A desktop PSU. It made no difference. There is no current flowing from the charger (PSU) to the phone at all once it is on. When I turn it off, it draws about 1.25 A, which is pretty normal.

You have to read about "USB PowerDelivery".
Alone PSU current efficiency has no effect on USB devices charging current.
Amount of current that the end device is able to absorb, is defined on the resistors (voltage dividers) which feeds the D+ and D- lines.

I am aware that the device would not ever (normally) draw more current than it is supposed to, regardless of the PSU used.
I did check some of the resistors at the time before my original post and they did seem to fall within spec. Besides, the phone would charge normally once powered down, so I doubt that it was such a simple problem as a resistor. Alas, this is an old thread and long ago I decided that the phone was not worth my time anymore, so I threw it away and thus I cannot recheck the circuit again. This will hopefully be helpful to people with similar problems in the future.
I think this is a software issue. Please tell me what version of ROM and baseband you have?
I was playing a lot with different roms, and in some cases I had the same issue. Eg when phone was chargeed from PC it was very slow.
Hi,
i've just received my lenovo vibe shot.
After a full charge, it worked perfectly.
After a second charge, still working. And the it stopped. No led when i plug it. No charge, no power.
I tried a different usb cable. Then another charger. Still nothing.
Any idea ?

I'm not sure I will open the phone now as it is under warranty.
I'm also not sure that i would be able to open the phone as I don't see how to open it !
It 's kind of weird that nobody else seems to have this kind of charging problem. Bad luck I guess.
Same problem
I have exactly the same problem. Phone was purchased from tinydeal. Replaced ROM with international version because not been able to run Facebook and other applications. Working perfect for 1 month. Then suddenly stoped charging. When plugged indicator shows charging but percentage charged droped.
I was not able to use warranty because I cannot send products with lithium batteries internationally using regular mail.
The phone was at two service shops. They problem is this chip which should be responsible for charging is very difficult to replace. They could not repair it. Now I have ordered a motherboard from aliexpress for 70$. When the phone broke there were no options for purchasing motherboard.
Thank you for your post.
I have now sent the phone back (i did send it with regular mail !). Still wainting for replacement.
I hope i won't have the same problem again !
Let us know if you succeded to fix the problem.
Hi.
I had the same problem after my first boot. I bought in Aliexpress. My solution was (more or less) easy.
I don't know why, powerful charger didn't work, but my old 5v-500mA worked 30 mins after connected. Once I had 10% battery I used stock charger and thats all.... very strange... Probably something wrong in battery..... who knows.... I hope this helps next time.
Hi,
My HTC 10's battery wasn't holding a charge for very long and the rear camera needed to be replaced so last night, following instructions online, I opened up the phone, and replaced the LCD screen, the rear housing, the rear camera module, the battery and the USB charging port (which includes microphone and capacitive buttons). I made sure to carefully put everything back together exactly as I took it apart. Every wire, every ribbon, every screw and every piece of tape.
Now that I've got it all back together and buttoned up, I tried charging it. It seems to only recognize chargers as USB (as if it's a computer port) and therefore charges EXTREMELY slow. The battery is OEM HTC and the Charging port also looks OEM, identical to the ones I removed. Anyone know what's going on? I've tried plugging the device into the original HTC QC3 charger and cable as well as an Anker battery pack which also supports QC3.
USB charging speed makes this phone basically unusable now. I use the device constantly throughout the day and it's not going to work like this. Does anyone have any experience taking this phone apart and might have any guesses as to what's going on?
Edit: Here's what a night of being plugged into the official HTC charger + cable looks like. What would have charged the phone fine normally via QC3.

just becuase it looks oem doesnt mean it is.
I had this happen to me with an m7 way back. Charging port was crap and decided on replacing it instead of dealing with the insurance dectuble. Bought the port for 40 bucks and it came with tool all nicely packaged. Replacement was easy but once i tried the port out it kept giving me a usb prompt for connection options and it would only charge at less than 1 amp. Pull the phone apart again and plug in the old port and bam direct fast charging no prompt.
So I opened the phone back up, and swapped back in the original charging port. Still won't quick charge... How can I be sure it's not some software reset that is needed? I'm almost ready to just cave in and go buy a new phone tomorrow...
Any other ideas? I can try reconnecting the original battery and see if that works next. It's just a huge PITA removing the mid-frame from the rear housing every time. I can't test the phone without the rear housing because of the antennas. It just boot loops if you try.
Edit: I plugged it into a PC USB port and it's not detecting that it's a data port at all, and treats it just like it would a wall charger (albeit charging extremely slowly). That leads me to believe it's not the battery at all and the fact that the old port is doing the same thing is concerning. Could I have damaged something? There are 4 plugs that go into that charger board. The main snap down plug, two small cables and another small ribbon cable. All look to be in good solid condition with no visible damage. Hmm.......

I wouldnt trust pc usb ports.
Sounds like it needs to calibrate maybe?. Let it slowcharge until its 100% and reboot.
So I took the phone apart again, took the USB port board off, and wiped it all down with 91% iso including the ribbon connectors, then plugged it all back in. Low and behold, it's working now! Great right? Except in the process of putting the phone back together, I managed to rip off the back button ribbon.... FML
So now that I know the original board is working again, I suspect it had to do with one of the ribbon connectors, specifically the one that's held down by two screws. Maybe it wasn't aligned just right or something.
Tomorrow I'm going to pray to all the non-existent gods and try swapping in the replacement board, cleaning it with iso again, one last time. Hopefully it works.
