micro usb has short in it - Nexus One General

just noticed this morning when I plugged my USB cord in. anybody else have this problem?
oh, i have already tried different usb cables as well. it's rooted, so im pretty much screwed.

A bit more description might yield better results. How long have you had the problem? Does it work when plugged into a computer vs. wall?
I've randomly had times that my phone wouldnt "recognize" that it was plugged in to a wall charger, but that lasted for no more than 5 minutes.

it has a short in the usb port. if i prop the back end of the connector, it works.

Other people have had luck getting htc to repair/replace damaged handsets even after unlocking the bootloader. I would try that, what the worst that can happen, they say no lol. I wouldn't volunteer that you unlocked the bootloader, but it shouldn't really matter, since that has nothing to do with a damaged usb port.

[Q] Battery not charging

My eee pad is not charging.
Its plugged in and everything was working - until this evening when I went to use it.
It had trouble turning back on so I pressed the on button a few times until it turned on. Then when I hooked up the charger I can not get any juice flowing.
Anyone have any ideas? I don't want to call asus until I totally have to.
Thanks!

I checked - the USB 3.0 wire still works. I can connect to my laptop. But my laptop does not have the juice to charge the pad.
Looking for ideas. Anyone know of a 3.0 charger?

I really wouldn't know, there are a large number of causes. Do you have any wall chargers with USB ports on them for other devices (I have one from my phone) and does that work?

Yeah, it was mentioned in one of the reviews that charging via USB tether doesn't yet work and is planned for a future update. No help to you really, but it's a known problem...
The battery will only charge when using the provide wall plug and no extension cables. I believe it does charge without it if the screen or device is ofg

I tried all the extra chargers I have. Nothing.
But I did get the screen to turn on when I used my OG droid charger.
I have seen somewhere that is is possible to plug the usb connector into the wall wart backwards ( usually will only go in one way). Check to see that you have the plug in the correct way.
I got same problem tonight. any solution?
try separating the two piece of the wall chargers and put them back together. It happened to me once and that's how I fixed it.

Physically impossible without damaging the wall wart. The USB jack is standard, and was specifically designed to prevent being plugged in backwards.

Is it just me, or are they exceptionally hard to take apart and put back together? I was actually scared I was going to break it, joining them, it took so much force. I've not yet dared take them back apart...

the magic works. I did it last night and it didn't work. Tried it this morning and it is charging now.
I don't like the charger. It could be a potential problem in the future. Does anyone know if there is a replacement?
Don't know about not charging bug but wife left it on sleep for long period this morning and it didn't wake up, held power in for 10secs then left it for 10 secs then touch ed power button and it woke up

I am now having this issue. Already tried turning on and off and unassembling/reassembling the adapter.

What did you do? If it's off and then turned on, it wouldn't be in sleep anymore so it should work.
What if I did a factory reset? Would that fix it? What happens? Does it revert to original firmware it shipped with even though I did the manual update? F
Well, I couldn't get it to work so I just did a factory reset. It works fine now. Just so everyone knows... the pad kept my new firmware update so I at least didn't have to do that again.
I started having this problem last night. I have the dock also and when I plug it in the red light does not come on. It will not charge the dock or TF. The USB cable works as I connected it to my PC. I tried plugging it in to different wall sockets. I tried using my Droid X charger. I even took the wall charger connector apart and put it back together. Any ideas?
I got the device today, but it does not charge. What should I do?

[Q] Charging Intermittently Stops and Starts?

For the last couple months, when I plug my nexus in to charge, it intermittently stops and starts charging. It doesn't always do this but when it does you can tell because the screen will stay lit up with the "charging x%" label flashing under the clock. The screen stays lit and the charging label flashes because it is as if you are pulling the charge cable out and plugging it back in over and over again.
I think I read about this issue a few times awhile ago but I can't find any mentions of it now. I know it happens with the orb charger sometimes but I just use the stock LG charger and cable.
Does anyone have any idea if it would be my phone, the charger, or the usb cable?
I sort of thought maybe after plugging it in so many times (since I got it basically right after it launched) maybe the usb mini charging port got worn down so it has enough play that the charge wire can't always get a grip on it leading to the intermittent charging connection. My charging cable hasn't ever been bent around much so I don't think it would have been damaged.
I am running the latest official CM nightly with faux's kernel. This problem has happened at least twice when I was running it completely stock as well as each time I tried several other kernels. Formatting and restoring never helped either. So I doubt it is a software issue.
Usually when this happens, I think it also winds up switching to usb charging mode because charging is unusually slow. I'd say 90% of the time though if charges without this intermittent issue and in AC charging mode very quickly.
What happens when you connect your phone to your PC? Does it work, or does it connect and disconnect continually? Does it charge fluently?

On a PC it's a completely solid connection. It has always charged solidly from a computer.

I have tried one other charger and wire a few months ago but I only used it for about 10 minutes. I'll try it again today and charge it overnight for a better test. It didn't have the same issues but the plug was definitely tighter to plug in. Could the lg charger's cable have worn down or is it just not made to fit a tightly? The LG wire does wiggle a tiny bit while the new charger wire doesn't move at all. Does your LG usb cable have a bit of play?

Mine doesn't wiggle, but that wouldn't be the problem. If it's charging fluently while connected to the pc, then the adaptor itself might be the problem.

Can you RMA a charger with google? I think you're right. Right before the problem starts, the charger starts making faint intermittent buzzing noises. It's not an unusual buzz, it's that normal sound that you often hear with chargers and other devices. The thing that's weird is that it is intermittent instead of a steady sound. I'll see if I can get it replaced.

HELP! Used "incompatible" USB cable all night, now only charges w/ computer USB port!

HELP! Used "incompatible" USB cable all night, now only charges w/ computer USB port!
Okay I know this sounds crazy, but I've tried 3 cables, 2 car charges, and 2 wall charges that all worked previously... And what I've found is that I can only get my LG G2 to charge when its plugged into a computer USB port. I've got car chargers that are both 1A and 2A, as well as wall chargers with varying amperage ratings too. And they all used to charge the phone and even still do charge my Samsung S3! Also the same USB cable that won't charge the phone when plugged into a car or wall charger, WILL charge it when its plugged into a computer!!??!
And to make things even more strange, Android reports the phone as "Charging", but the percentage never goes up. And using CurrentWidget or BatteryMonitorWidget, the phone shows as "Plugged In" but shows "DIScharging" and shows the mAh utilization as draining at 18mA...
The only thing I did differently is that last night, I used the USB cable that came with my ChromeCast device to charge the phone. I plugged it into the LG USB adapter that came with the phone. I didn't realize until this morning though that a message had popped up saying the phone was "incompatible" with the the charger/cable and that I should unplug it avoid possible damage..
Did that possibly break the charging capabilities?? That seems not possible...

Gotta ask... Have you powered down and rebooted to see if that clears it up?

Unfortunately yes I have...
It's a shame you didn't see the warning message as soon as you plugged it in. Can you take it back under warranty? Sounds like it did do the damage it warned you about. The last ditch effort I would suggest is do a factory reset and see if that fixes it. If not, take it back.

Yea, I'm hoping not.. I may have to factory reset.. Boo... But I'm having trouble believing that a normal USB cable REALLY could do damage though.. I have another charger/cable combo that I keep plugged in on the wall in the kitchen and use it all the time for my S3. When I plug the G2 into that charger, it gives that same "incompatible charger" message. But what is so different about this phone that prevents it from being charged by any standard USB cable..??

I have a handful of charges at home and they all output different levels of power... though most are much less than LG G2 default charger.
Okay REALLY strange... NOW, the chargers charge my phone, but only show charge them.. Using the LG charger & cable, only slow charging is possible..
Seems my other charges are working now too.... Anyone have any thoughts?

Charging problems - only charging over USB

Hi there,
I have a big problem with charging my Galaxy S4. It only charges with my notebook USB Port, my AC-adapter does not work.
In the battery menu I can see that AC is connected, when I plug my adapter in. But charging does not work with my device.
Over USB I can charge slowly. This isn't a software problem, I have done some resets and firmware changes since the problem.
Maybe my phone got a little bit wet earlier. Could this be the problem? Can I fix this with changing the USB port part of the hardware?

Yes, I tried another cable but had no success
I dunno if I can ask it here, but i don't charge over usb, i mean it just "hold" the power level for me. Is that normal ?
Is your AC outlet working ?
Having issue where S4 only charges with USB and vibrates when using AC charger
I've been having some issues with my S4. I did recently get it a little wet, but it's working fine in all cases except charging. I have my phone next to my bed charging every night. I noticed it was dead one morning, but I figured I didn't connect the charger properly. The next night I noticed it was vibrating every 5 seconds or so, but the phone had turned off due to a low battery. Very strange behavior.
I realized that it would start charging, but it would stop between 1-3 minutes. The the phone would vibrate and not charge.
I've ready MANY posts from others with the same issue and someone mentioned their phone charges over USB. Seemed odd, but I tried it and voila, my phone charged perfectly. I have many samsung cables, none of which work. It's definitely not the cable. I can plug a samsung cable into my phone connected to AC and it doesn't work. I pull the USB portion out of the AC charger and plug into a computer and it immediately and consistently charges. The battery holds its charge as expected, so it doesn't appear to be a battery issue.
I've tried the developer mode options - no luck.
I've tried bending the charging prong - no luck.
I've tried blowing out the charging port with compressed air - no luck.
I recently got an update pushed to my phone (Sprint), but I don't think it was happening right after the update. Seems like a likely software issue.
I did get my phone a little wet recently, actually it was my young children throwing water at me.
I've read so many posts and nobody seems to have a good answer for this issue. Any suggestions are appreciated.

LG V20 wont recognize PC and says charging slowly

Hello all, when I try to plug in my phone to my PC, the phone says charging slowly and no USB options pop up. Fast charging is also not working, and I get the same message. I bought a new charger from walmart because my original one broke. Thanks!

Or a bad cable. There's a lot of those going around these days.
When your charger "broke", did it short/burn up? If so, it may have damaged the port on your phone

No I believe 2 wires broke on the inside.
+1 for bad cable.
I've seen it many times. Fortunately, I have about 2 dozen USBc cables laying everywhere.
I try to get the offending cable in the garbage, else it gets back "in service" and creates frustration again...
I beleive the issue is with the cable. Try with another new cable and tell us the result friend.
I kept all my good micro USB cables and simply bought C adapters from Amazon.
