[URGENT] Nexus 7 won't charge, shows battery completely drained - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Only have access to 50% of my battery.

For the last week my nexus 7 has been completely dying around 50% battery. If its in sleep mode when it hits that % then it won't turn on, if I'm using it when I hit that % I get a weird flicker then it shuts off. This just seems extremely strange that all of a sudden only half my battery works. A long with only having half my battery to work with, it seems like the tablet has been charging a lot slower then normal. I use to be able to work it down all the time and usually didn't charge it until 5%-10%
Anyone else ever have this issue? I contacted Asus and there only solution right now was a factory reset. I cant see how that could fix the issue at all.

are you rooted? what type of kernel are you using?
I have read that sometimes a factory reset refreshes the battery settings. Is your device rooted or rommed out?

That happened to one of my friends S2's. Factory reset it. It worked for my friend. My N7 also charged really slow. I just changed the ROM. It is the same thing as a factory reset because you do one when you change your ROM.

As said before, try a factory reset !
If no luck there
Try download a battery calibration app to see if its mis-calibrated etc

4.2 settings/battery not charging.

Does it say this for anyone else? It used to say discharging.

guess they realized that "discharge" was the worst word in the english dictionary
Charging (AC)
Try unplugging the cable from Charger and the tablet and unplug the charger from the wall, then connect everything back up again. This fixes it fro me most of the time.

First 4 hours of use impression : it came preloaded whit 4.1.1 its snappy if you ask me but sometimes in application we can see some small lag but great tablet for its price !

Sweet ! Looking forward to this phablet now time to go on reading to get root and etc etc... Also how does the charging works first time ? Drain to 0% and then 100% ?

With every electronic gadget using Lithium-ion batteries nowadays, it doesn't really matter how/when you charge it.
Some would argue to make sure to allow a full discharge from a full charge from a battery calibration point of view, so the battery meter is more accurate. It wouldn't affect the health of the battery itself either way.
Things like memory effect doesn't apply to lithium-ion. How often you charge it and how much you charge it (full or partial charge etc.) doesn't affect it much either. The only 2 things that can potential kill a lithium-ion is high temperature and letting it discharge far too low to the point that it cannot be charged up again. Note that all electronic devices will power off way before it even reaches this threshold.

Read this in a different thread when i was unboxing my nexus 7, i let mine sit for a while on the charger before i turned it on, but it came charged already. So far i have not let my nexus drain to 0% and the battery life on it is great, it can go for a entire day.

I too just got one. May be came out of the box with 4.2. After I signed in I checked for an update manually, and it immediately upgraded to 4.2.1. I then rooted immediately! Battery has been impressive so far.

No luck for me i guess it shows that there is an update it downloads it and boot into recovery attempts to install but then an android robot laying down whit his chest open and a red triangle appears ?

Sounds like it may be a corrupt download. Unless you plan to remain on the stock ROM just unlock/root it and then install what ever ROM you like.

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.

[ Q ] not turning on

So my nexus had been unplugged and without charge for about 3 weeks or so, I've been very busy at work. I try and connect the tablet so that i can use again and the screen flickers for an instant and nothing happens, I don't see the white icon charging animation and no response after that. It's my tablet done or is there a solution for this. Thanks to anybody that can help.

Ok, I don't really know what exactly the problem is. But I think the battery seems to be dead. because if it is still good, at least it shows the indicator light when it's plugged with charger.. If u have a simple tool to test battery energy maybe u can find out. or maybe try another battery..
Leave it plugged into the charger for a good while and then hold down the power button hard, for about 30 seconds. See if that forces it on.
How long did you leave it plugged in for? It may take a few hours...

It was plugged for like an hour or so and no dice.

Not sure if it would help your specific problem, but my thread covers every fix known-to-man for issues such as yours. Check it out if you haven't yet.

Try leaving it plugged in overnight. I once had a laptop battery die on me, had to plug it in for like a week before it would turn on again.

Your device is hibernating to prevent further damaging the battery. Plug it in... boot to bootloader... select power off using the volume keys... the tablet will now charge normally

hi
My problem is solved, I have a friend who had the same problems with the tablet Nexus 7 16GB, the back of the unit opens easily with just a fingernail to open a case as remote and actually the battery plug is not fully inserted into the camera, a little bit of nail to reconnect the cable and now my tablet displays well 100% load.

Yup - there is a sticky that covers this method, and all the other methods as well. For anyone else suffering from similar N7 issues, be sure to check it out. Either go to stickies in this Troubleshooting section, or use this link.
