Charging issue - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok,
I have a 32G Nexus 10. I had some sleep of death issues on it when running CynogenMod 10.1. So, I did a factory wipe and went back to factory 4.3, rooted with SuperSU 1.6.5.
The Nexus 10 was dead this morning. So I got the charger out that came with the Nexus 10 and hooked it up via the pogo cable at 9:00 AM this morning.
When I checked it about 10 minutes ago, it was at 37%.
I'm going to switch to MicroUSB to rule the pogo cable out. Has anyone seen a super slow charge like this?

[Q] Nexus 7 does not charge while on.

My Nexus 7 is no longer charging while turned on. If I power it off it'll charge with the battery symbol. I can't even get my PC to recognize it while plugged in to USB. I'm using the stock charger and cable. Any thoughts?
I'm currently running Paranoid Android 2.54, however when this started I was on 2.50. I thought flashing a newer version might help.
Not charging
Plus 1 on this issue,
Running stock ROM and it updated yesterday to version JOP40C now it's only charging when turned off.
+1, same here, but now it won't charge as the battery got completly drained.
Still does not charge. This is a launch N7, curious if Google will replace it.

I just received a replacement seven this week for the same issue, mine stopped charging. I called google play customer service, and they didn't give me a hastle at all.
Were you rooted/running a custom ROM? I am, and with my N7 not getting recognized I feel like flashing back to stock might be problematic.

yea, rooted, custom ROM and kernel. doesn't matter though, it just started one day randomly. I finally did get it to charge BTW, by giving it a few firm smacks on the back. they didn't even ask if it was with root or if it was a custom ROM. if its hardware related, it won't make a difference. i sent it back with twrp recovery, rasbean jelly rom, and trinity kernel. i did wipe the data and the storage before i sent it in.
Yeah my Nexus' charging is messed up since 4.2. Battery seems to run down extremely quickly (around 30% in two hours with Spotify on and general browsing.) Plugging it into the wall with the official charger sometimes charges it EXTREMELY slowly, and sometimes just says its charges and still the battery is running down.
It happened to charge last night, and over the course of around 10 hours, I think I had 60% battery. Trying to charge now, and nothing, just losing battery. No idea what the issue could be. Tablet completely stock.

+1 on this issue. N7 isn't charging when turned on, no charging issues if turned off. It isn't recognized when connected to a PC. Whenever I try switching users, the darn thing restarts itself. It does the same thing when I try USB debugging. I am running 4.2.1.
Please help!
Investigated problem
After upgrading to 4.2.1 my N7 charged very slowly. Finally today I decided to investigate it, albeit inaccurately.
Plugging a 2A charger into my 120V power monitor, I noticed the following:
When the N7 was on, the power draw continually alternated between 0 watts and 2 watts.
When the N7 had been shut down from the bootloader (not from the OS) and the cable plugged in/out, the power draw was a constant 2 watts.
The max charging rate of the N7 is around 10 watts.
So it looks like the N7 is will charge either very slowly, or kind of slowly. What I find strange is that this issue only occurs on some devices. Perhaps later devices use a different charging controller?
Either way, would really like a fix for this.

From the way you described your test setup, you seem to be measuring the power consumed by the charger itself on a 120 VAC source. The wattage there should be low, albeit still higher than what you're seeing. Along that line, if you ever see it go up anywhere near 10 watts, then something has gone horribly wrong.
Also, the slow charging seems to be peculiar to 4.2 and above, indicating that it is not actually a hardware issue.
same!
Been having the same problem for a few days now, I was on stock 4.2 and updated today to a custom ROM based off of 4.2.1 and there is still no difference. Anyone found a solution yet?? Its quite concerning especially since I got mine from GameStop in the US then moved to the UK shortly after!
Just wanted to add, before this started I was having the same problem that is talked about here http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-7-tablet-forum/228706-nexus-7-problem-wont-charge-when-does-screen-goes-dead-pixels-fly-across-screen.html
I figured it was caused by letting the battery drain completely so I opened it up pulled the battery plug out, plugged it back in and charged it till it was full and it continued to work. haven't let it die since.
Same problem here, stock Nexus 7 running 4.2.1, roughly 2 months old.
It charges when the device is turned off, but will not charge when powered on -- started happening about 2 weeks ago (charged fine previously). This is using the stock brick and cable that came with the tablet.
I have to imagine that this is a software issue and that the next one will have a similar problem -- has anyone else swapped one out and had the problem disappear with the new one?

Battery refused to charge to 100% last night??

So before I go to bed I always turn off my phone and plug it in the wall charger that came in the box. This morning I woke up, turned my phone on and it only charged to 47!! Has this ever happened to you?
Btw I'm on the march 3 build of paranoid android, faux 7r2 mainline kernel, latest PA gapps and the new bootloader and radio.

I don't turn my phone off but I did have one night where I plugged it in and the charger did not seem to work at all (woke up w/ ~40% as well).
Stock, unrooted here.
Had this happen to me once or twice and mine kept showing its charging after I unplug it. I found it only does this with the stock wall charger so I bought a new 2.1 amp wall charger and now it charges without any problems. I think the stock wall unit has a high rate of defection.

[Q] Car Charging Issues with Nexus 4

Past 2 days my Nexus 4 is not charging via Car Charger, i have original Samsung Charger, i also have USB port. i tried the USB cable i receievd with Nexus 4 from LG. No Luck, i can only charge my Nexus 4 at home.
I checked my usb lead and Samsung Car Charger to charge my Backup phone Galaxy mini, it works fine. Gaalaxy mini charges but not my Nexus 4.
I was thinking it might be an issue from CM Kernel. i recently installed CM10.1 nightly 13/3/2013 it was working fine before going custom rom. I have used every single custom roms in the past, i had no problem with charging anywhere before.
so i returned back to stock today and it is the same not charging.
I can only charge at home, but i use it alot and i need to keep it on charge in the car too.
Help pls thank you
Lower amp car chargers can't charge the Nexus4 faster than it discharges. I have a 2 Amp charger that works.
Having the screen on full brigthness while using GPS drains the phone really fast!
Does your Nexus4 not charge at all or does it charge slower than it drains?
It might be the kernel, I am using a Samsung galaxy S3 usb cable with a usb port car charger and I do not have any problems charging my N4. I am on Baked ROM and Franco kernel.
it has nothing to do with my car chager cuz it was working fine before.

i did not have any problems before using the CM
as soon as i flashed CM10.1, this problem started. i changed back to stock and still same problem
I'm also having problems with charging my Nexus 4 in the car. I have charged my N4 everyday going to work for the last 3 months. But last week it stopped working I'm also running CM 10.1 nightlies since day one if that has any importance.
The car charger works with my old Nexus One
I have bought another car charger that works(verified with N1), but doesn't charge my N4. Both chargers support 1 Ampere.
I can charge my N4 with AC-adapters
I can also charge the N4 connected to my computer using USB.
Any ideas?
bumping this. any solutions? same boat here
I have same isdue, but not all the time. I noticed my N4 stops charging with my car charger, the original charger and the wireless charger when it comes too hot. (after playing a game for example)
The only way I found to make it charges again is waiting for it to get cooler and then replug the charger. I think it might be an hardware security that stops the charge when the battery is too hot because when my N4 has a normal temperature it charges normaly evdn on my 1A car charger
BIG bump here!! My N4 stopped charging in my car randomly around when 4.3 came out....!! Any ideas what's up?!? Annoooying......!
Just in case I drive a 2010 Prius.... Worked fine since the N4 was first released.

Battery sloooooowly charging

I have a none rooted Nexus 10. Just recently updated it to 5.0.1 from 4.4.4. Ever since the update the battery barely chargers. For example, last night the battery was completely dead, so I threw it on the charger. After about 6 hours of charging, it went from 0% to 29%. I know that the charger itself is fine, I used to use it as my charger for my Nexus 5 and it never slow charged it like this. Could this be an issue from the update? I've attached a pic of the battery status.
Just an update, since I first posted, the tablet has been plugged in charging. Reached a high of 33% and is now DOWN to 26%. What could possibly be going on ?
I got the same problem... Slow change.. Any idea?
Hi,
I had a similar issue recently. All I did was use another cable with the stock wall charger. I was using stock cable + stock charger and had these problems, then I picked up my Kindle cable and put on the charger and it was fine again.
Battery had an estimative of 7-9 hours to charge got down to 4-5h.
All the best,
~Lord

Battery drain and long charges, please help!

So, I recently changed the battery on my N7 (Pure Nexus ROM 6.0.1 with ParrotMod) and started to notice that battery only lasts about 3 to 5 hours, and around 2 and a half with video playback.
Also, a charge from 10% to 100% takes around 12 hours to complete and charges very little or nothing at all when the tablet is powered off.
I thought that the charger was causing the problem (I was using a Galaxy S4 mini charger) but even with the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge charger (which supposedly has the same input and output as the N7 one's) I got the same results. I also read that the charging port might be misplaced, but that didn't seem to be the case either...
What's happening? HELP!
It 's probably a wrong charger. Use 10w (5v 2amp) one. Generic one can be bought at eBay for around $3. I have same setup on N7 - PN with Parrot Mod, full charge 2-3 hrs at the most

First off, use a genuine charger that comes with the device. If problem still persists, it could be the defective charging port that caused the problem. Try changing one by yourself or by having it replaced.
I have had the same problem. I bought my nexus second hand...and the guy said that the battery was broke but it run... So I have checked everything I have installed several roms and bought another battery but same problem... Then I have checked the USB and on the connection to the flat cable is a black thing to attemp the cable to the USB thing. So I closed the thing and it runs. Now battery loads fast again. Maybe the guy before me replaced the USB and missed to check the flatcable connection...
