I have tried 3 different chargers and my nexus will only charge when the charger is forcibly pushed into the port, which is not possible to do for a long time, what can i do to fix the problem as at the moment my nexus has been rendered useless.
Also if i cannot fix the micro usb port does the new nexus 7 dock need the use of the micro usb port or do the pogo pins charge the device on their own
Thanks in advance
Just get the dock... It's a much better way to charge it IMO.

I had the same problem after installing M-Kernel. Removing M-Kernel fixed it for me.

thanks for the info, yep its in there and clicked together, still not charging properly, i think its a dead battery issue
Have you tried using a different charger or tried charging through your PC to eliminate potential problems with the plug and cable? Just a thought.

Try to jiggle the cable in certain directions such as up down left right and see if it starts to charge. If it doesn't, return the sucker.

I have found the N7 is picky with cables' the default one that comes with it works fine but doesn't seem to want to charge through my car charger.
My epic4g cable doesn't work and neither do any of my other USB cables.
Same with the charger, it has to have a dedicated live connection and no USB splitters with multiple ports.
I need like a good 4-5' USB cable to use tablet comfortably while charging.

I'm using a white 5ft cable I bought f/Amazon for my kindle fire.
ASIN: B006BGZJJ4. Item model # 53-000156
Works great on the Nexus 7 as well.

I got a six foot mediabridge cable from Amazon, very sturdy and works fine.

I am now having similar problem on 16gig. It will not charge from the power adapter at all, but will charge from a PC using same cable.
Same behavior on my alternate cable that I use for phone.

My car charger doesn't work either but my computer/tv/printer/tivo/wall/everything else works just fine... it must be a voltage issue with the car charger.
I remember reading that the charging issue some of you guys r having is a confirmed hardware problem, due to poor quality control. Asus was in such a rush to get the first few batches out that certain faults made it into a select number of batches. Other people who have had this hardware problem either could only use the Asus adapter, or that might not even work. You should try to get it replaced by your seller. I'll post the source in the morning if everyone's too lazy to Google.
Cheers
possible fix
I've read on other forums that it is the usb port. I my experience it is a intermittent connectivity or the wall wort isn't putting out enough amps. I bought an iGo Green for the iPad, put the tablet in Airplane mode and it will work fine while using it. Last night I shut it all the way down, let it charge overnight and woke up with a full battery.
Seems like only high output chargers work. All my 2.1A chargers work with Nexus 7, but lower output ones do not charge even when Nexus 7 says it's charging.

None of my 2.1a chargers work.

Just for the hell of it...... pry the back cover off and make sure the battery is firmly plugged in. This happened to mine and now all is good

My 8GB arrived Monday , 1/2 charged pluged in to the 2A charger it says its charging but the battery just drops. Turned off and left overnight and its still no more than 20% charged.
I need to find an app that shows charging
check output of charger, check cables, check charge on phone vs tab then send back to Google for a replacement grrrr
I have the same problem, how do I fix? I have the 16 gb version.
The N7 seems to be having a lot of problems with charging. A couple times when my battery has been completely dead, I have had a tough time getting it to begin the charging process. One time I watched it begin to charge, then boot up, stay on for about 20 seconds, turn off, and then not charge. I have no idea what's going on. I always eventually get it to work, but something doesn't seem right.
Remedy
Google Play telephone support had be factory reset my Nexus 7 8GB. After the reset, the battery began charging. A major nuisance having to redownload everything, but it does work. Good luck

I am in a similar situation and at the point where I am looking at replacing the microusb/audio jack assembly...hoping someone out there can offer a suggestion that does not go that far or a cheap/reliable source for the replacement part.
I am using an OEM charger and cable...which works fine for my Droid phones so I doubt either is the issue.
The problem started suddenly...cannot charge either on or off and battery is down to about 4%. I left it off hoping to find a fix so it is not 100% dead when it comes time to try again.
I dropped the N7 months ago and had a similar charging issue...learned the battery is not tightly fitted and can shift pulling out the connector...I fixed that and inserted some filler to keep the battery from shifting again. The N7 is out of warranty so I took the opportunity to root it and have had no issue for 3 months until now.
I opened it, checked and re-seated the battery connector and cleaned the plug, battery connector and the USB port itself all to no effect.
Any suggestions on what I can try next?
Thanks All...

Hi, there. Can someone help me on this issue please, I am new here.
I have a Nexus 7 Wall charger at 5V 2AMPS and I want to use it on my Nexus 4 5V 1.2A. Would it be okay to do so, without damaging the battery? Does the kernels control how much current goes to the Nexus 4?
I have no choice but use the Nexus 7 Wall charger because the one that came with Nexus 4 was defected. I called Google but they said I would have to return the whole thing, but I don't want to since, who knows, the Next one may have a bad phone instead.
Google Play told me using other phone adapter would be fine, but they didn't know about Nexus 7 Wall Charger.
It would be great if someone could give me some advice, Thank You!

It will work, most phones would limit the power draw from the source to make sure battery charge at the proper rate. If you use a custom kernel with fast charge enabled, you will degrade the battery quicker.
I've used about 6 different chargers on this, gnex, and others including the nexus 7. They all work fine, but slower ones just charge slower.

Hi I recently bought a Nexus 4 16GB from Google Play in the UK. It's been working fine but in the last few days when I connect my phone with the official charger (the one that came in the box) the touchscreen begins to act weird and buggy. More specifically it becomes less sensitive and doesn't function properly. I can scroll down on the app drawer with no problem but scrolling up is extremely slow- its like its scrolling through syrup, same on homescreen. Thinking this was an app or kernel problem I removed an app I thought was causing the issue and reverted kernel back to normal but the problem persists. I now think it may have something to do with the charger being faulty as I am now charging my Nexus 4 with the charger that came with my Nexus 7 and no problems with touchscreen responsiveness or interaction.
Has anyone else had issues with this? as I've seen people have trouble with non standard chargers but I'm using the official one.
Would Google be able to exchange just the charger and not the whole phone package? And is it okay to use my Nexus 7 charger for my Nexus 4?

Yes you can use the Nexus 7 charger. In fact, you can use any Micro usb charger cable to charge your phone. The phone will take in the amount of power it needs. It shouldn't be an issue.
Anyone know what could be causing the touch screen issues when charging. That's what confuses me the most. Could it have something to do with the charger heating up or being faulty?
Thanks for the tip about using my Nexus 7 charger instead.

I know that with some of my older phones, when charging from an inverter that did not stabilize it's output voltage, my touchscreen would do the described. Maybe the charger fluctuates in voltage slightly... This was on my old iPhone 3GS, I can't remember if my Atrix did it... It might not do that on the Nexus

It would probably be something with the charger output then. Maybe it has to do with amperage output rather then voltage, I know that some people had issues with the stock charger outputing less amperage sometimes making the phone drop to USB mode. IMO the stock charger kinda sucks and its better to just buy another charger and keep the stock one for backup or something
I suspect it is most likely the micro USB or the battery as my Android won't charge anymore. I saw a video on how to fix this but I don't have the part or know where to find it. My device is a Nexus 7 ASUS. If the micro USB isn't the issue than I don't know what is wrong or why my Android won't charge anymore.

Hi, MASF123...
It might not be the Nexus 7 itself, the problem might lie at the charger end.
I had a similar problem several months ago, where my Nexus 7 either wouldn't charge at all, or it would charge erratically, and thus taking hours to fully charge up.
It turned out that the fault was a loose USB socket in the official Nexus 7 charger that originally shipped with my device.
Anyhow, I started to use a spare Amazon Kindle charger that I happened to have lying around, and my Nexus 7 has charged without problems ever since. It's rated slightly lower (1.8 amp's) than the official N7 charger (2.0 amp's), but it gets the job done.
So it might be worth trying another charger, perhaps from another device, before you start tinkering with the Nexus 7 itself.
Hope this helps, and good luck.
Rgrds,
Ged.

No that is not the case because I bought a new USB cord and power supply to make sure before I opened it up. It stopped charging even with the new charger I bought.
