Anyone else ever have this issue? Wondering if its a bug in the newer roms or if its just something with my device? Ive requested an RMA with Asus, but I was curious to see if anyone else had this issue. Tablet charges only when off. Ive made certain I am using the correct cord/power supply that camw with it and have also done factory reset. Im running the latest build of Paranoid Android.

I also can not connect it via USB to my computer to be able to return it to stock and lock boot loader. I think I am in for it guys. Anyone help?

It's also written in manual that nexus 7 only charges while being turned off. This means charging from anywhere else than outlet. It's because computer USB port doesn't have enough power to charge the tablet while it's being used.

I'm not trying to charge it though. I just want to return it to stock conditions to RMA to Asus. It doesn't get recognized when I plug it in via USB port. I've tried all manner of USB cables, including the one that came with the device. I feel as though I am royally screwed on this one, unless someone knows of a way to unroot/lock the bootloader without needing to connect my tablet to a USB port?
Well...anyone know how much Asus charges for a rooted/unlocked Nexus 7 to be worked on? :[

I got my Nexus 7 now after a long experience with Android devices, mostly phones, and I think N7 is a pain to charge.
Sometimes when I'm using it plugged in charge, it seams like the force is just enought to avoid discharging, no to charge. Anyone with this kind of experience?

Not enough details.
Don't expect it to charge plugged into your PC.
it is normal that charges slow when connected to the PC via USB, in fact most of 10.1 tablets does not charge at all turned on, there is not enough power, if it's connected to the wall charger then may be something wrong.
I'm using the stock wall charger. I'll observe better and than be back here with more data about charging times. Thanks.

Make sure you use the original charger and USB cable that came with it. My experience is that it charges relatively quick and consistent across multiple units.
My N7 just randomly died. It's been working great for a month and now suddenly won't turn on. The battery was very low and it probably shut down from that. But after plugging in to recharge, nothing!! No power, won't turn on, has no indication it's charging ... totally dead. I bought retail but if i return it now, my data is not wiped. I'm afraid that after i exchange it, anyone either at the store or at google/asus that gets it back and gets it turned on will have access to all my accounts.
any suggestions?
does it connect when you plug it via usb?

It's 100% dead so it doesn't connect at all, not power not usb. Very weird, it's had zero issues until now and it just randomly died ... no trigger
Since you didn't provide info on how you were trying to charge it...
o are you using the OEM charger and cable?
o how long did you let it charge (let it go a couple hours)
o When you try to start it up after letting it charge for a while, press and hold the power button for a long time 30+ seconds
If you can't get it to ever power on, you will never get the data off since that is the only way to access the memory on the device.
I'll just leave this here...

How do you propose he do this when the device won't even power on?

Just trying to help. He may need to leave it on the charger overnight and try tomorrow.

It's weird, it only charges when It's off. But, when on it acts like It's not connected to the charger. I've tried factory resetting. It also won't connect to my computer, simply because it won't charge. I've searched here and I haven't seen a problem like it. I can still charge it when It's off.

Hi ,
Do you charge it by OEM charging cable ? If so , you should use another cable and try charging by new one.Unfortunately , the OEM cable has problem with charging the device.
More info please. Are you rooted? What ROM/Kernel? Did you make any changes lately? When was the last time it worked right?

Awhile back my N4 charging port crapped out on me and is no longer working. It will not charge through a cord whatsoever and ADB doesn't pick it up. I wanted to know if I have any chance to root it. Or really just install CyanogenMod. Any hope? Thanks!
You will need a cable to install a custom recovery, which is needed for rooting your device.

Probably since pin that transfer data is broke, but the one that does the charging is still intact/functional. Samething happened to my Captivate that got water damaged.
It's possible the buy the USB board and replace it, its pretty cheap on ebay.
I charge with the Wireless orb.
warranty replacement or take it apart and fix it. the usb port is on a daughterboard that would probably be relatively cheap to replace if you don't trust your soldering.
There may be hope to unlock and root without usb if you're on 4.2.2. Not if you're on 4.3 already though (yet at least).
My nexus 7 have a problem, that can turn o, every time rebooting, won't accept any charge, how can be?
...i have almost the same issue with my 2012 N7, stock&root....it just will not charge (tried different chargers!) It shows "charging" but it uncharges...now it is dead!!! ....a known issue??

Sounds to me like you either have a broken lead on one of the charging pins inside the MicroUSB charging port or either your battery has malfunctioned.
I also have the Nexus 7 2012(grouper) and have a "tighter" connection using my Samsung ATIV SE MicroUSB cable, but the cable for my Galaxy S4 tends to fall out easily.
Remember that most aftermarket MicroUSB cables do not have all the pins inside the connector and most MicroUSB Chargers only have the 5V charging pins..
Try plugging your tablet into a USB port on a computer and see what happens..
Hope everything works out!

I have changed my usb-port as well, and the battery icon when the tablet is shut off shows that it is charging, however the OS when turned on doesnt seem to recognize that the charging cable is present. Also PC connection doesnt seem to work... Any ideas?
