I noticed something weird with my nexus 4 as i put the device on a Chinese usb charger the display acts like crazy and response by itself without touching it, but if i put it on an apple or the stock usb charger it returns to normal.
I just wanted to share this and if anybody knows why this happens plzz tell me i m curious.
Because the Chinese USB cable is bad. It thinks your cable is being plugged in and out repeatedly which is why your display goes crazy.

I my nexus turned up with 66% battery, I toyed with it all day and at 4% decider to charge it. Only to find out the charger didnt work!
I narrowed it down to the cable itself, and being a brand new cable I couldn't quite get it. Looking in the end of the smaller USB I can see there are only 4 pins, the one I am using from my galaxy nexus has 5 could this be why? Does everyone else have all 5 pins?

I was about to post and say that micro USB should have 5 pins... But then I actually looked at my n10 cable and it does only have 4. Pin 4 is missing (second from the left if you treat the longer side of the connector as the top). makes sense I guess, pin 4 serves no purpose in this type of cable.

Mine has 4 pins too.
What you should do: try charging a phone with charger
Or try the cable with a phone to a pc. That will tell if it's the cable.

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? :[
Hi all,
Have anyone encounter the nexus 4 charger emit noise when the phone is fully charged?
But when I turn the phone screen on, the noise will be gone and back again when the phone screen is off.
Thank you.

Can you reproduce this with a video?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Maybe it's a feature?
Hmm.. Will try to take a video. Doesn't seems like a feature. It produce some high pitch sound. When I switch off the power, the phone screen will take some time to wake up, normally it should auto wake up immediately as what I observe from nexus 7.

I realized that the original charger when charging makes the device hot and slow.
But i have a galaxy tab 10.1 charger that keeps it cool and charge fast

My Two cents
I don't own a nexus 4 but mine dies the same exact thing. Usually when the battery is full. My guess is the phone is rejecting the charge. But when You turn the screen on, the charger powers the screen and possibly the speakers, so it stops.

Have you got a old Xperia sitting around? Bring them to us!
Thanks for the comments. I hope my charger don't fail on me. Just want to confirm did anyone use a nexus 7 charger to charge nexus 4? I read through forum, though the nexus 7 using 2A than nexus 4 1.2A. The phone will charge fine without damaging the battery or the phone, since it only draws the amount of charges needed.

Charger buzz not only when fully charged, but the whole cycle
Yesterday I noticed that my Nexus 7 started charging really slowly and sometimes not charging at all, for example if I'm using it while charging it used to be that the battery percentage would go up and now if I'm using it while charging it goes down, and they charged it the whole night with the screen off and in the morning I only had 49 percent, and I have no other two and charger so I can't really test it with another charger, but if the charger was broken why with charge at all , does anyone have any idea what this might be?

Have you tried charging through usb to pc? thats another way to check.
A new oem charger (21$) solved the porblem

I think my USB cable which came with the stock charger is damaged. On the micro USB end, what's supposes to be in the middle/center is now sticking a little out. (I say again on the micro USB end, the one you stick in your phone. Should I replace the microUSB cable and keep the charger?

Does it work properly?
Yeah, works. I went out and bought a a micro USB cable, but it charges much slower than the stock one. Can one of you take a look on those photos and tell me if the jack is okay?

Does your phone charge? Also when you put your cable in your phone does it seem to stick out or does it look flush.
If it looks flush and if it's charging and there doesn't seem to do any damage to the actual phone I wouldn't worry about it.
My samsung charger, the actual USB cable is bent and it still charges just fine and doesn't affect my actual Micro USB slot for the phone.

It looks OK. I can wiggle it a tiny little to the right and left though. I wasted damn 12 euro on that new cable (I know I overpaid, I just wanted to charge my phone safely, ironically it just charged it slow as hell. The cable looked a bit cheap anyways.. I'll just give it away. )
