Yup. Left phone on charger overnight - woke up and the camera was flashing every 2 seconds. That's all it will do. Whether it's hooked up, unhooked. As long as the battery's in that's what it does. No rom changes in over 2 weeks. No damage of any sort.... no recovery or anything
Well you can probably do a warranty exchange.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
I had something similar with my nexus one. Except it wasnt the camera but the trackball... changing kernels around seem to help a bit but eventually i took it for water damage. Take the battery out and let it dry off for a day or two. You can also try to pry it open and have your hand at any corrosion if you find any. However i wouldnt recommend that unless you know what yer doing.

He said it was left on the charger, not fell in water.
I'd crap my pants if this happened to me.

I realize that but like i said i had the same experience and my phone didnt get noticably wet at any time could have been a single drop of water and corrosion takes a while to build up.
Still...
Im wondering if you used your original charger when this happend because i can personally say ive seen my atrix behaving strange when connected to some cheap random charger (touch screen not working for example). Didnt believe it could cause permenant damage though.

It was hooked up with a Blackberry charger, actually.
Still acts the same.
Check the charger to see if its power ratings are different than your otiginal one.
Also... does the device boot up in any way or is the screen simply black and the flash flickering no matter what?

Looking at it today, I noticed that the charger port (or inlet if you will) is very structurally loose. The voltage on the blackberry charger is about 3/5 that of the stock Atrix charger, if memory serves me - somebody at work switched out the chargers the day after I got the phone. It took a good 6 hours to charge...
ATT said that it would be full cost of phone, because it's personal damage.
I'm looking into the Mi-One.
EDIT: No, the screen will not even begin to come on. Camera flashing is the only indicator of any power. Used an external battery charger, and two different batteries.
The MI-One looks sweet!!!!

Moto will probably either fix it or send you another phone. I know people who bricked from trying to downgrade and they got another phone. I'm sure you could too. I would try that before you buy another phone.
ETA: Now that I think about it not being able to put the rom back to stock would probably be an issue if they can get it to turn on but if they can't they might replace it.

I also think you should bring it up with motorola. Waking up to find your phone bricked is hardly what id call personal damage. You also shouldn't bring up the charger issue. And as for the usb port i'd say it would take too much effort to discern the connection with that and the phone acting as it is, and im sure they would rather just send a replacement unit.
A usb port malfunctioning is hardly an account for personal damage. The usual case is they simply stop working, but definitely not brick your entire phone.

So i was playing dead trigger with my sixaxis (awesome combo btw) with an overclocked kernel. everything was going fine till i saw the 14% battery left window and it went away all by itself very fast. i didnt think anything of it. (this whole time i was plugged in) anyways, i played for another 45 mins and all the sudden, i got some static and then a shutoff. i let it sit for a while (maybe it overheated?) turned it back on 10 mins later. went good for 5 mins, then shut off. the screen was just black. i un and repluged in the charger and didnt get the white battery symbol. i was thinking "oh **** i just fried this thing" so i took the usb cable out of the charger and dont ask me why, but i smelled it. and i instantly knew, burnt electronics. got my droid x charger and plugged it in. instantly got the battery symbol. this is a temp fix cuz its only 700ma but does anyone know where i can get another charger, possibly better quality, or a way to fix this? for some reason my computer just doesnt have enough oomph to charge it. its probably only ~500ma.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Anyone else have this problem?
yea happened with my wire too. like the adapter piece still works its just the usb wire thats fried
Found this link on the charger issues thread

it's not a detachable usb charger, but should work.

It might be my cable, but thats the one im using with the droid x charger soo... yeah.
i forgot to mention that the charger smelled burnt too but i though maybe it just runs hot.
Thanks for the link to the charger!
One last question.
is this the same way as the (dare i say it here) iphone charger that couldent support the phone running and charging the battery? because my friend burnt up his charger by doing that. im thinking about making a 30amp usb port and just let the onboard battery charger take care of it. then again, id rather the charger blow up than the little processor for charging the battery.
And JESUS these captcha's are freaking unreadable!
All of the voltage looks the same as the Asus charger. The reviews also state that it works like the OEM charger.

Well even though the charger seems to be working again, I will probably buy that one because the plug doesn't come right out the back of it. Thanks

Does it also do the same deep cycle charge that the OEM charger supposedly does?
Has anyone noticed that their wireless charging orb is slipping?
The flatter the desk, the less it will slip. That desk is pretty flat. I wanted to keep the charger on another desk which has a slight incline, but after about 3-4 minutes, my Nexus 4 stops charging. And after another couple of minutes, it will actually fall onto the desk (and hopefully not on the floor). I even made sure there was no oils from my skin on the surfaces by cleaning them beforehand.
Pretty frustrating for a $60 charger. They really should have used magnets in this thing.

It has magnets on it....
There has to ALWAYS be someone with a problem with using the product wrong.
Just find a flat desk to put it on.
I dont know how yours is coming off, but mine lifts with the phone off the desk and i have to use two hands to separate it...

That is a flat desk, and it does not have magnets on it or in it.
Not sure why yours is slipping either...I actually find mine to be gripping too tightly

It has magnets, just not your typical magnets where you would feel the force pulling you in.
I really dont know what to tell you. Contact Google for another one....because mine holds, no joke.
Hi quentin0,
I have the exact same issue you are having. I got my charger today. I used it at work for about an hour or 2 with no issues then took the charger home and now my phone will not stick to the charger.
After a minute to a minute and a half, the phone is on the night stand no longer charging... (slipped of the charger)
I've had so many issues with my phone which had to be replace 3 times that I am just returning the charger for a refund.
Needless to say that I will never buy LG again nor a "Nexus" branded device.
That's fairly amazing slippage. You should get an Ikea desk with adjustable legs for a special tilt. Is it humid in your location? I wonder what factors cause this because I've tried bumpers and cases and they all stick right on there perfectly.
Had mines on the charger for over an hour with different types of cases (nillkin, official bumper and no case) called phone numerous times and sent messages to see phone. Phone never moved.

It does not have magnets. It uses that sticky silicon stuff on the inner ring to grip to the phone.

Maybe I should take a video of mine which does not stick at all.... There are absolutely no magnet in this and as nbell13 said, the silicon ring is what is supposed to hold the device just like a suction cup would stick to a piece of glass...
Did you just place the phone on the charger? What if you tried pushing the phone into the charger a bit instead of just placing it on there? The ring is rubber which would deform slightly if you have the phone on there and then apply pressure, and that deformation might act as a suction cup which would give you better grip. I don't have the charger so I can't test this, but for anyone who does can you try this and see if it's any harder to remove (indicating a better grip and less slipping) compared to just placing the phone on the charger?
That's really strange. I got mine today and it holds the phone very well on my nightstand. In fact, I was surprised how well. I also have an Energizer wireless charger that I used on the same nightstand and if I don't use a case, the phone slips right off. I suggest returning it for another one.

I have the LG, Energizer, and now the orb. Best bang for the buck, IMO is the LG charger. Looks cleaner but doesn't angle the phone without being creative like using a tablet stand to hold the LG charger and then the phone will just lay on top of it vertically.
However, having the orb, it does look cool on my desk. The footprint of the orb is really small compared to the LG. For now my LG is at home on the nightstand, the poor Energizer is now stowed away for travel and the Orb is sitting on my desk at work. And for the Energizer, a naked Nexus 4 will def slip off because of it's smooth surface. It literally hydroplanes off the charger. And the Energizer is angled downward as well so having a case or even a back protector will be a must when using the Energizer charger.
Does my orb slip? No. Sux that others have that issue. Not sure why.
Mine is also slipping. I think the magnet is not strong enough on my orb
Why are you placing the phone so high on the charger? Of course it will slide down sitting that high up, you should align the wireless charger with the center of the back on the phone where the wireless charging is. Make a video with your phone sideways and centered on the charger I bet it won't slip.

I don't understand this either. I will say, mine stick, and doesn't slip, but u don't have to put it on the orb that high. Just tested min, and I can put it on the orb, with the bottom of the phone touching the desk, and it continues to charge. I would think this would stop ur sliding. I would still get urs replaced. Along with being sticky, I can feel a slight pull of magnets on mine... Could this be related to phone hardware revision? mines rev 11. I think I read only 11, and 12 are qi certified? Anyone confirm this?
If the phone is charging there will be a slight magnetic attraction, regardless of whether or not there are magnets in the orb or the nexus. When a device is inductively charged there will be a magnetic force between the two coils.

uh that's not true. All Nexus 4s are the same. They're not going to make ones with and without wireless charging.
Has anyone had this before?
My phone burned through the cable I received with it.

I tried charging it today, but the charging light didn't turn on. Didn't think much of it, but when I removed it from the charger after 10 minutes, I smelled burned plastic. And part of the cable got stuck in the phone. Had to pry it out with pliers.
Phone doesn't charge anymore, but it still works.
Really glad I noticed it in time, otherwise I could have had a fire on my hands... Was really hot
Sucks pretty hard to be without a phone for the time now.
Guess I'll start annoying the hell out of google and LG until they fix it?

Yes. I have heard of this.
And it scares the h*ll out of me!
I'm not a fan of fast charging due to this issue. I've seen it happen on other devices as well. Batteries are not meant to charge at such rates. I'd rather have a slower charge personally
This is why whenever I charge my phone, I keep the AC/Cooler/fan on of that room, keeps the phone temp low and helps in faster charging.
Whut? This is actually very concerning....is this a usb type c problem you think? Or does this happen with other phones too?
You should report this to LG
This needs more media attention. I don't think anyone has zeroed in on what's causing it yet. This could happen to all of us for all I know.
Need a response from Google.
Definitely not charging my phone over night anymore, Google and LG need to look into this.

I had this happen with my old HTC Desire way back when. Woke up in the middle of the night to a burning smell. Could hardly touch the phone it was so hot. Battery was swelled up to the point it was deforming the back cover of the phone.

i just purchased the 5x on saturday and paid for 1 day shipping so hoping to get it tomorrow. but this is making me worried... i might get a usb type c charger thats rated at much lower current to help prevent this instead of using the included 3A charger. or get a standard usb to type c cable and use a regular 1-1.5A charger.

Speaking generally, this almost always has happened, for years, to people who pull the cord by the wire, not by the plug. My wife is terrible about this and she goes through 3-4 cords to my one.
Anyway, that may not fully explajn this problem, bug it'll sure makd it more likely.
Well. I just googled and I found this article. My nexus 5x just burned yesterday and the worst was that everything was wood, even the floors. It almost started a fire at my home yesterday and I am mad because of that.
There is a picture I attached and I'm returning it tomorrow because I had it for almost 3 weeks now.
Hi Guys just had my XL battery die.
Connected USB charger cable to PC and a part of the screen less than the size of a finger tip started to flash like an atari.
I then connected the cable to an apple plug and got the same thing.
Eventually I got access to the main charger and after 30mins of charge no luck.
THE PHONE IS DEAD!!
Yes I have insurance and still in my 1st 30days of purchase.
Please note earlier on in the day I had a hammer and the phone in the same hand, as I put them both down on a table the hammer tapped the phone ever so lightly. I am noticing a hairline crack in bottom left corner, same place the screen flashed after it died.
Funny thing is the phone was working perfectly fine until battery died.
Could be a ROM issue or the hammer caused something, OR constant use of bluetooth music today has knackered something.
Im sad to say but this phone is a *****!!
Wow. That sucks. Any luck getting it fired up yet?

Crack might have widened internally damaging the guts. Much like a glass chip can spread, a board can do the same thing. If the crack was at the bottom, you may have damaged the charging circuit.
