As title says, it wont charge. Tried using a PC and the regular charger. The notification LED is just flashing orange, then green and so on.
Bit of a SNES solution, but have you tried blowing in the USB socket, and blowing in the connector? If there is some fluff covering one of the terminals that will stop it charging.
Doesnt help. When I am connecting the charger, the notifiction LED lights up orange. And 10-20 seconds later it starts flashig green, orange, green, orange and so on.
If I start the phone, it says 0% battery, and if I set it to charge, it just shows 99%.

I had this problem. Have you installed any data monitoring apps?
No, WinLongLife must be the closest one.
I really need help.
Now the battery is all dead. Cant even preform a hard reset.
From the reports on here this seems to indicate a dead battery.

Consider how you have treated the battery when recharging.
It certainly sounds like a dead battery.
Have you allowed it to discharge on a regular basis?

I usually charge it at below 20%, but the in the last week, the battery has been very bad for some reason. So I would always have to charge it at 40-50% if I was going out or something, so it would last.

The led sequence shows the presence off the cable and that power is being detected, but, charge process is failing.

I have tried two different cables.
I take it that you have tried a wall charger.
Their output its higher than USB, but, if they don't work then you will have to change the battery.
HD2 charging problem
Sounds familiar to me!
I got a second battery (1500mAh), which won't charge when the phone is turned ON. The second I plug it in to a USB port I states 100% charged although the battery is at an arbitratry level. The weird thing is when the phone is turned OFF, the battery will charge normally !
I had the same blinking sequence during a road trip, when the HD2 was charging on the GPS stand, under direct sun.
When refreshed, the HD2 resumed charging.
For me it seems to be the impossibility of recharging - dead battery or hot battery (failsafe).
I had a similar problem..
When I connected the micro usb to the computer or the charger..it showed that my battery is filled..and thats it..so when i took it off my phone was dead..
And little later i found out that the trouble was in this lil metal-kinda things(dont kno how to call it) that connect the battery to the phone..and after i done the "battery off" reset(i was a total noob) several times one of those metal-like things was bent that it didnt touch the battery..then i carefully re-put the battery so its all connected..and it worked!

I can't believe I'm the 18th post and no one has suggested this.
Go to the battery settings...the easiest way is to click on the taskbar and then click on battery. Make sure that the check box is NOT checked next to "When phone is on, do not charge the battery......"
If that doesn't help you it may be useful to someone else. This was also a problem for me when I first got the HD2.

Well...I'm very sorry...you can rest assured that I won't bother you again.
Oh...one other thing...my response was to the OP...not to you.
I was wondering if anyone figured out what to do if battery runs out completely. As far as I know battery cannot be charged when the phone is off and without battery phone wouldn't come on (when plugged into a PC).

This might help you friend
hey xda friends,
i have a small problem with my batterie /charger.
it is charging very slowly i am running cm7 so i plug it in very often yesterday at 6 pm it was almost flat so i plugged it in but keep on chatting and surfing/reading so battery wasn't gaining and it kept reading 5% (same as when i plugged it in) i thought well it's just usb so i use a lot of power and it keeps it's level
but when i got to bed (1am ) it let my wallcharger do the task
today when i got up(6am) i looked at my phone and it only read 80% (before i deplugged it) perhaps somebody knows the problem (battery /phone) i have just original parts (charger and battery) i am running cm7 for a while (yesterday i just switched to 2.3.3) never had this problem before....
i tried
power off
power on
pull battery
wipe battery stats
....
thank you for your help
Could it be you have something draining the battery heavily?
try a full wipe then reflash

no new installed apps and unplugged it drains normally
Pull the battery, and with the battery out hold the power button for a good 30 sec, on most hardware these days this is how you usually hard reset the power management unit. Try it and lemme know how it goes.
i dunno if this will work for SGS but i guess you have nothing to lose.

push it real good nanana
if the battery drains normally.. .. then perhaps it's the charger itself (???)
I was seeing something like this but not as drastic. Tried a different wall plug and things were better.

I have a similar problem. My phone also never charge to 100 percent. It reaches to max 85-90 percent and if i continue to charge it starts discharging. If i let it to charge till morning, when i disconnect the charger i read 65-70 percent. I have another battery but not original, it behaves more weird. Dont know if the battery is problem.

I have tested with the wallcharger. It charges to 100 %. And the phone battery drainage is normal. Like 2 days.
Remaining possibilities.
1) Firmware problem. Reflashed the phone with the new firmware. I will see if it changes anything. Not likely though.
2) Hardware problem. The phone's charging usb part damaged and there is some kind of disconnection.
3)May be bootloader got damaged??? Even if the phone closed, it doesn't charge to full capacity.
Edit: The problem seems to be the second one. While flashing with odin it failed many many times. I was just scared that the phone was brick.
Then i realised that the connection with odin is not stable. I press with my finger the the usb charging cable to left and right and I have seen that
the connection comes and goes. After that i have succeeded to flash the phone while pressing to the mini-usb part with my finger. it seems that
that while charging also the connection is not stable so it never fully charges.
Hey guys,
I noticed this yesterday my Nexus 4 (running PA 3.6, franco milestone 1) shut down at 30% charge. I went home and charged it (it showed 0 when I started charging it) to 100% continuously.
Today too the phone shut down when it was around 32-31% and now charging has again started from 0%.
What could be the issue?
I have tried the battery calibration app even though I know it does nothing.
Any ideas?

I have been flashing nightlies merrily on the Nexus4, never had to recalibrate the battery, though it sounds like your does need that. (I had a Desire HD before this, and it was very sensitive to errors in battery calibration)
How about if you charge the phone fully then either reflash the ROM or flash a nandroid backup you've made? Either of those options will overwrite the battery stats file - if that's the problem.
It could be that the chip in the battery is malfunctioning, ie a new battery could be needed, but that sounds much less likely

Okay I'll try reflashing the ROM when I'm at a 100%, I know deleting the batterystats.bin file doesn't do anything but I did that anyways yesterday, but it seems it didn't fix the calibration issue.
Any other ideas I could try while I charge my phone to a 100%?

Hi, @paul c, I would like to inform you that my phone's discharging just fine (charged it to a 100% last night and it's currently at 48%, I didn't reflash my ROM but I did reboot it once. I also haven't charged it since then)
Could you tell me what's the minimum and maximum battery voltage? I am guessing that the max voltage is around 4200mV but what's the minimum? Also, can we calculate the REAL battery %age from the voltage that is displayed by apps like DashClock? If we can do that could you tell me how/what formula we use to do that?
I know I'm asking a lot of questions and I would really appreciate any help here !
Thanks!

Hi,
I was inspecting the battery's voltage/charge the entire day today and I realized that at around 36% the voltage went around 3000mV (3100mV, Nexus 4's battery is rated at 3800mV and it maxes at around 4200mV). After that when I plugged it back in and turned it on it started charging from 0%.
I think the battery is at fault.
Is there any fix for this which does not involve replacing the battery?
Thanks!

Unfortunately this didn't work for me. I tried charging through the night and then discharging it completely and charging it completely again. I also tried deleting the batterystats file (even though I know it doesn't do anything)
So what do you suggest I should do? Get the phone replaced or get the battery changed?
I live in India and the phone is from Canada, so replacing the phone will take some time but I can get the battery replaced for around $20
Also my nexus is also showing +ve mA values while it's not charging, and the values are absolutely crazy, +268, +168, +1171 (in batter monitor widget)
Please tell me what I should do.

When you open the back case did you notice if the battery looks bigger/inflated? Maybe you should replace the battery.

Okay, I got my battery replaced, drained it to 0% (after a full charge) and going to charge it completely by the travel adapter that I purchased from the service center.
Attached are the pics of my old battery, I don't know if you can see it but it's swollen. If I recall I used a nexus s' charging cable to charge the phone from a computer and it was charging like AC (my kernel usb fast charge was OFF) and it also never detected my phone in the explorer (Windows)
My problem's solved now, it was a battery issue for me. I upgraded to PA 4.3 in the process by the way
So I guess I'll stick to my regular micro USB cable and charge via the travel adapter whenever possible, thank you everyone for your inputs!

I hope changing the battery fixes it for you too! And here you go : Nexus 4 battery
My phone is shutting down automatically after showing “google” logo. I went back to stock lollipop 5.0.1 but the problem still persist. It’s working fine with the charger plugged in. If I remove the charger after switching on, if I kept it idle, it will stay on till the battery is empty. But if I try to do something it will shutdown. In recovery mode it works well without the charger.
Please help me is anyone facing the same issue.
may be you should try flashing a new kernel
i tried stock Google images still no use.
Is there any noticeable bulge to the battery? It might be a battery issue.

I don't think its a battery issue, because if i keep my device idle it'll last 1 day.
It only crashes if i use the phone, even swiping home screens crashes the phone.
Well, you've already gone back to pure stock which rules out a software issue, and so the next thing I thought would be a battery issue. I have read here about defective batteries causing all sorts of problems like losing signal, non responsive touchscreens and bootloops, and so it's a possibility that this is a battery problem.
I got strange problem with my n4..
Battery % randomly change and shut down, unsensible touchscreen, battery icon disappear from menu..
Maybe this hw problem could touch the SW part
that's how my problem started

My nexus 4 cant't turn on without charger plugged in. But when I go to Recovery, it work fine. A few days ago, it's sometime shutdown suddently when I was playing game. Then it worked fine after I plugged charger in and turn it on. Is this battery issue?
So even when the device is fully charged it won't boot into Android?
