So I've had my Nexus 4 for a couple months now and I've taken really good care of it. It's pretty mint. But today it refuses to charge and I have a phone interview for a job on Thursday and I really need this little guy to work. I have CM 10.1 and thought maybe it could be related to that in some way. Maybe it's just kinda glicthy right now? But the last time I was using the phone it died and I put it on the charger and an hour later it wouldn't turn on. I've tried 3 different chargers and none of them give me the little battery charging image or light up my LED notification light. Any troubleshooting ideas? If not, can anyone recommend a cheap wireless charger that works very well? Thanks for your help in advance, I really need to get my phone working immediately.

try your stock charger. Just leave it there for 10 minutes or so then try turning it on again.

what other chargers do you have at your disposal? Ideally you should use one with a rating of minimum of 1 amp. The stock charger is rated at 1.2 amps. For your case, if the 1 amp charger doesn't work, try a 1.5 or 2 amp charger for 30 minutes or so. See if that works.
Did you drop your phone or hit it against something?

I've had this problems about a week after I got my N7.
The Micro USB cable that came shipped with my tablet charged it while I was using it for about a week.
After that week, the battery would just plateau around whatever percentage I had before charging.
A few days later, it wouldn't charge fast enough and the battery percentage just dropped.
I switched to a First Gen Nook Micro USB cable, which worked like a charm.
Up until now...
The charge seems to be close to plateauing again, because it charged a good 3% every 10 minutes, now I barely get 10% every hour.
What the hell is going on?
I spend $250 on something I expect to at least run on AC without any problems.
Sorry the post is long, and thank you all tremendously for your help.

a few people have had this prob , i think i sometimes have it, as if i use a certain usb charger it charges to 100% in about 2.5 hours, with the other one it'll take 3-4 hours to reach 100%.
im not sure but i think there is a app on market to show what recharge voltage your getting while plugged in, i cant remember the name thou srry:crying:
Why do you think the Nook wire stopped working though?
It just seems odd that both wires worked at one point, but slowly stopped working...
Then logic would tell me that it's not in fact related to what cable you are using, but a problem with either the battery itself or the main board. First thing I would do is let the battery die, pop the back cover off, unplug the battery, let it sit for a while, then charge it back up. That may or may not solve the problem, but it's worth trying.

I somewhat recently got an AT&T Galaxy S4 and it was working great, until I went to charge it. It seems that most of the time, when I plug my phone in to charge at night, it stops charging after about 10 minutes. I am already asleep by this time so when I wake up, I'll have like 40% battery left.
I have tried different chargers, cables, sockets, just not a new battery.
Any tips to try before buying a new battery to test? Also, what's a good slim battery for a general user?

Personally I think you should call it in to get it replaced. See my thread here:

Yeah... well i mean it may not be the same issue I had but it's better safe than sorry, you know? The warranty is still valid, so might as well take advantage of it.
But in your case, at least it's charging and you're maintaining some sort of usable phone. Mine was dead for 2 whole days.
I would go ahead and call today because they ship Next Business Day. Meaning you'd get it tomorrow (if it's not too late). I had to wait 2 days because of the 4th of July.
Last night I've put my phone to charge until morning, and I've put the phone under a pillow because I have a one person bed and I don't want to hit it with my legs. In the morning, when I took the phone out....
The phone was extremely HOT! And I know where the parts are in this phone, and not the motherboard heatead up so much, the battery! I was so scared because this thing could explode in my hands or could've exploded last night.
Also, when I saw the phone the notification led was blinking blue, but after cooling the phone I couldn't see any notification. Is that a alert or something to say that your phone is hot?
I don't want to have a "note 7" clone when charging in my house.
I have this phone for just 6 months. Also the battery right now drops percent like per minute, really weak.
Does anyone had this problem too?
Here are screenshots:
Also, I am not using original charger because was too slow. I am using an 5V 2A charger. Now my battery stays at "normal" at 40C°
Is that normal?

I have found this in my manual. I will keep my eyes all day on my phone and will see if I will go to the service or not.
But I have bootloader unlocked, the phone was disassembled before, the water indicator is red, so I'm going to have to pay.
It happened to me. One thing I noticed that my phone was in wake lock. It never happened to me again. I think I was using LOS 14 at that time.

Every phone has heating problems. Few days ago i readed some articles and that stated: consumers should remove the custom cases when charging the phone. Do not keep your phone while charging on surfaces that stores heat (eg. your pillow), and try to not keep your phone on charge overnight. Even if its at 35-45% you should leave it so and wake up 30 min earlier every morning and charge again if you need more battery. 100% charge its not a good idea.
Remember you cant change battery easy, removing the back case its a pain, try to take care of your device, or you gonna buy a new phone soon

Of course not......You are using 2A charger.....It would obviously heat your device up
and yes ......2 A charger won't help with speeding up charging it would burn your IC instead..Your phone won't take in more than 1 Amp thats a factory limit and can't be unlocked without a custom kernel but still it's not safe.. Don't use that charger .....It's a placeboo that it charges faster ?

What the ****, thanks. I will come back to the original charger.
Hey guys, yesterday i noticed something strange: it took 3+ hours to charge my S5 from 8% to 100%. I remember that it used to take around 2 hours at the very maximum from 0% to 100%. Then i remembered that my cable with which I'm charging is not the original one (it got cut long ago) but the charger itself is the original. Is something wrong with my battery? Is the charger bad? Should i search for an OEM usb cable? I don't mind it if it charges for longer as i charge it at night but still, this got me a bit worried that it can degrade my battery overall by keeping it hot for longer than needed. Thanks for any answers.

My phone gets hot when I use a non OEM cord as well. But its never hurt my phone. I've been doing it for probably a year now. As for the longer charge time is it suddenly taking longer with this cord or is it taking longer because you are now using the cord?

Well not sure as i mostly charge it at night. But my phone's battery life is normal while using it (atleast for now), just curious why it takes so long to charge.
Different cords have different capabilities depending how they were made. There's even some that only give power and no data transfer. Samsung makes fast charge technology for their devices. Other cords may or may not support it.

Hm, I always thought that fast charging is inside the charger itself and not the cord. Might get an official Samsung one then. Thanks for the info mate

It comes with the USB cord as well. And I'm pretty sure fast charge tech is both the handset and the charger itself. I read the charger is 1.5x faster then a normal one even if its not going to a device with fast charge and 2x faster if it is. I didn't mean to quote myself either. Lol
My One Plus 8 Pro takes 45 minutes to charge from 0 to 50% and 1 hour 40 minutes to charge from 0 to 100%...is it normal or any Issue?...... anyone help me here....Thanks

Are you using any custom kernel? Could you try charging it once with the phone completely switched off and check how long it takes? Are you using the original accessories coming with the phone? Is the charger directly connected to the wall or on an electric adaptor?

Thats why I'm concerned and posted here to help... Thanks
I don't have any complaint about Battery backup or not even screen issue in my one Plus 8 Pro..whole device working fine except this Charging Time....just concerned about Charging Time thats all
Could be the cable that came with the device that *might* be defective, I see nothing else. If you bought it from a local reseller, try to see with the shop maybe? If you bought it online, then you may want to buy a good quality USB-C cable, those made for charging the ultrabooks, for example. Wish you luck!

Could you have a soul sucking app or widget that is putting a little strain on the battery or is it pretty much fresh out of the box? I know I have a weather widget that is the Bain of my existence but I like the way it looks so I put up with an extra 25 minutes to charge the battery.

Yeah I use Overdrop Weather App and it's Widget... The issue here is maybe the power point where I plug my charger maybe that's underpowered....so I tried today on overpowered power point usually uses for Refrigerator or Washing Machine I plugged there my One Plus 8 Pro and magic happened my phone was on 45% and it went to fully 100% just in 45 minutes... So for now I figured out that issue was in power point not in My device. Hope it's true ?
