So I had this phone for a while now its starting to act up.
I pretty much killed the phone to 0-1% then plugged it in to charge and left it for 8 hours (sleeping), I wake up and find it only charged 3%, wow seriously? I fiddle around with it and it goes back to 0%?
Problem? Anyone had similar issue?
P.S I did search first, couldn't find any...

It's probably a dead battery or hardware issue. I'd go to your seller and ask him what to do. Most likely you'll get a new device!
TIP: Try to charge it through your USB-port in your laptop/pc, perhaps the power supply is damaged?
I've had this problem. It's not really a problem, and it's easy to solve.
Find a different charger, like an iphone charger (worked for me) but other chargers than the HTC One will work :-D
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Its completely turned off now, im charging it but the red light just keeps flashing on an off, gonna leave it in for 1-2 hours and see how it is.
Okay, I left it for around 1 hour but the red light has stop flashing, problem?
Anyone? I tried another charger like the iPhone but same result... HELP!
Have you tried holding the power button down for 10 seconds, it equivalent to a battery pull, and then see if it will charge.
John.
are u using custom recovery?
Now, the CWM Recovery has a bug that the phone cannot be charged when power off
I've faced your situation, I got into bootloader, flash back the official recovery first through bootloader, try your phone can be charged when power off

I can't turn the thing on but I connected the usb via to the computer and the notification is blinking red, I assume its charging, the thing is yesterday I unlocked the bootloader (was at 95%), rooted it etc then started playing with it until it reached 1% and left it to charge overnight but it only went to 3% :/
Hopefully it charges fully after 8 hour of leaving it plugged in to computer while I go to work.
I would not leave you phone charging unattended, as lin-ion battery sometimes vent flames, when they are faulty and you don't want your house burning down.

Hmmm, I might bring it to work, but I can't get it swapped due to bootloader, fml.

thanks a lot for ur prompt reply dude... ya will try that surely.. but any idea y this is caused? could it be a battery caliberating issue or battery itself gone.. ?
May i answer to this? @karthik_sa2 : I had the same problem about 1 month ago.
This is what happened to me.
I plugged the phone to an ac charger, leaving it on.I think i may have left open some battery hungry apps like a game, and the ac charger could not deliver enough power to the phone.The battery continued to discharge untill 0, but the phone remained on for a reason.After 3-4 minutes, the battery reached a critical level and the phone shut down.
I left the phone plugged to an wall charger for about 1 and a half days.Then i was able to start the phone in bootloader.Happy ending!

No, my led was dead.
After 1,5 days , it charged 3%.At least this is the info the ROM was telling me .
Don't worry about the led, just leave the phone charging for 1-2 days.Then try oppening it on bootloader.

ok sure... thanks a lot again
I read this post somewhere and it perfectly worked for me...thanks for all the help again..
"Be paitient, Plug your phone in and give it a minimum of 20 mins charge even though it's flashing.
Unplug the phone and hold both the VOL up and VOL down buttons together for at least 2 mins then release.
Plug the phone back in.. don't worry if it's starts flashing again just be paitent it will I guarantee stop flashing a red led and begin charging to show a constant red led..
By holding thew vol up and vol down buttons you will reset the charging circuit..
The reason your phone has started flashing is because it's gone too far into a discharge...
JUST DON'T PANIC and stay calm.. show a little paitence and all will be well...." :victory:

Last week my I9192 battery went low and it switched off
When i plugged it for charging the charging logo didn't appear and phone didn't start.
I kept it for about it for 1 hour but still no use.
Even tried charging with PC/USB but no use.
My charger is all well (tried with other samsung phone).
So i went to the service center. The guy there told me there is problem in charging port.
After replacing charging port the guy told me that the port was all right, the battery was damaged.
So i got a new battery.
The phone stared, worked fine.
When the battery showed LOW, I plugged it for charging. After plugging in the phone turned OFF immediately and the same issue started again. The charging logo didnt appear and phone was in OFF state.
To test my phone I used my Wave525 battery and aligned it to my I9192 battery terminals, and phone started.
With Wave525 battery everything is fine. The phone charges normally. I even backed up my data with that battery.
Now i have given my phone to service center again.
The guy this time told me that its a strange problem and will need testing...
I dont know what the service center will come up this time..
If any one knows what this issue is, i would like to know and would be really thankful.
Happened to me before. Just leave it charging and after about an hour press and hold on power button until something happens

Thanks. Now my phone is with service center. If the center fails this time i'll try what you said.:good:
Sorry for starting this thread again, but I am having a similar problem. I replaced the charging port, phone still will not charge. I can charge the battery by jamming it into a S3 Mini. The battery charges to 100%, and will power my S4 Mini. Did you ever find out what the problem was, and how was the problem fixed? Thank you.
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.
Still no luck! Does anyone have something to suggest?
Hmmmm .... still would go for battery malfunction !

you say it charges the battery ? if you are able to see the white icon of the battery charging when the phone is off and you connect the charger , then it's definitely the phone battery .... replace it and lets hope it works out

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!!
Hello, phone was working fine up until today, tried charging and vibrated as if it were charging but battery symbol didn't show charging symbol.
Finally died, now plugging charger in shows battery symbol and charging symbol above it, goes to Xperia screen and then shows 0% with empty battery.
Any ideas as to what to do? Tried different chargers and plugs etc but still the same.

Thank you, managed to get 40% overnight charged with the light green when charging with phone off. Doing backup over WiFi since cables doesn't work. Will then attempt factory reset.
