Won't charge when powered on? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I seem to have run into an issue yesterday, my n7 will no longer charge unless I power off, it doesn't get recognised by my PC either but bizzarely it recognises my USB otg, anybody have any ideas or is it time for an RMA?
I've tried various ROMs and kernels but without luck...

I've found that mine charges a lot slower while powered on, almost barely.. I just turned it off.. eventually I got sick of it and replaced the battery and it charges great now..

I got the battery for like 24.00.. like new but used, works like brand new though. It's easy enough to replace, the back just pops off the n7 with a little pry. While I had the back piece off, I sprung the 2 contact points up and out some so the wifi antenna got better connection. Went from 1-2 bars to nearly full across the entire house..

n7 just died, how can i wipe data before exchanging??

My N7 just randomly died. It's been working great for a month and now suddenly won't turn on. The battery was very low and it probably shut down from that. But after plugging in to recharge, nothing!! No power, won't turn on, has no indication it's charging ... totally dead. I bought retail but if i return it now, my data is not wiped. I'm afraid that after i exchange it, anyone either at the store or at google/asus that gets it back and gets it turned on will have access to all my accounts.
any suggestions?
does it connect when you plug it via usb?

It's 100% dead so it doesn't connect at all, not power not usb. Very weird, it's had zero issues until now and it just randomly died ... no trigger
Since you didn't provide info on how you were trying to charge it...
o are you using the OEM charger and cable?
o how long did you let it charge (let it go a couple hours)
o When you try to start it up after letting it charge for a while, press and hold the power button for a long time 30+ seconds
If you can't get it to ever power on, you will never get the data off since that is the only way to access the memory on the device.
I'll just leave this here...

Weird charging issue?

I'm having a hard time all of a sudden charging my battery when I'm using my phone. This happens on any charger not just stock...has anyone seen something like this before on a phone?( I know its common in tablets). Any help would be appreciated...I would like to rule out hw issue but I've done a factory reset and its still happening...

It's most likely your charger is causing the issue. It happens to me as well. Try using a different one and make sure it's plugged in tightly on the phone and the outlet or USB jack.

Unplug the cable and plug it back in again. No need to reboot.

I think he means off the charger, happened to me when I flashed franco.. It stayed on the same percentage for a hour or two. I thought this kernel cant be this impressive can it!

You're right. I just realized that too he didn't say anything about charging. Oops. It's that darn battery bug.

[Q] Broken screen, how to use my mouse/keyboard ?

Hi, my screen is a little bit broken, but anyway it don't work anymore, do someone know a way to unlock and use it using my pc/mouse/keybaord ?
Thanks in advance, my N4 is missing me !!
Nope. Time to get a new phone. OTG seems to be not an option.

I tried android screencast some times ago (a year) but I don't know if it works on Nexus 4 or Jelly Bean as a matter of fact, give it try.

[URGENT] Nexus 7 won't charge, shows battery completely drained

My N7 is completely dead,won't recognize usb. Before it went completely dead, it was working just fine, but it didn't charge. Can anyone tell me what should I do now. I can't go to a repair center because I won this device on an xda giveaway... Stock 4.3 Rom dual booted with cm 10.1 using multirom

Why couldn't you, you did get the warranty with the device, right?

Meh. I live in Serbia, I don't think that anyone will replace it for me... Btw, I tried reconnecting the battery cable, and before my battery was empty, the pc wouldn't recognize the device. I tried the oem cable, multiple outlets, nothing...

Yes, replugged the battery cable, tried powering off from bootloader, but I think my issue is specific because my nexus 7 was working just fine, apart from not charging. I also can't acces the bootloader, I only get the empty battery sign. And I get the same sign when I want to turn on the device.
