Hi my nexus 7 is charging at a pathetic rate . I left it to charge for 5 hours from 7.00am to 12.00pm and it only charged from 5% to 12% .
It all happened a few days ago . I charged my nexus 7 to 100% (stock rom used for few months alr )and wiped the battery stats . Following that I drained the battery till 0% . After rebooting , the slow charging problem surfaced . I have already did a clean wipe and reinstall of stock 4.1.2 using nexus toolkit , the problem is still there . Help ?
in my country it happened to many people. you should take the nexus to ASUS reparing service and ask them to replace the USB port. it will be ok

Warranty is over . Asus will probably rip me off for it.
Btw just to note charging is substantially faster when connect to pc . It charges from 5% to 31% in 2hrs .

Whether out not your warranty is over depends on where you live. If you're U.S. you are probably out of luck, but you may not be elsewhere - an increasing number of countries now have two years as standard, despite what the card in the box may say.
I have the exact same problem. Started going down hill after install vanir. I thought flashing to stock fixed. it might have for a while. Cant live on stock anyway. Otherwise I don't know what to do with it.
Check your account syncs in settings. I use two different accounts with Google (that real name policy uses a very odd definition of real name,) and if what syncs with each account isn't set just right the poor thing will get stuck awake and trying to sync forever because the awful Google+ will forbid some things without telling the device to stop trying. That absolutely rags the battery.
It's certainly not the only possible cause, but it returns, unbidden, often enough to be worth checking for.
Your situations seem different from mine ...
Anyone has a fix for this ?

I think my nexus 7 has a bad USB port as was suggested in another thread. A closer look it appears to be severed. Android tuner shows a negative flow. Its been fun anyway.
You can maybe PRESERVE IT BY CONNECTING CHARGE CABLE TO ADAPTER??

Another thing I didnt think to try was just use a restricted user profile and charge with that.
I fixed problem with "Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit " flashing 4,4,2 and bootloader 4.23(wich i think was my problem becouse it freezing some times when i was in it).
happy flashing and flash it from bootloader, not developer option.
I had all kinds of charging issues for awhile, turns out the battery cable had become loose. Just pop off the back and check that the battery cable is plugged in all the way and seated firmly. The battery itself was also loose and sliding around in its compartment (probably how the cable became loose in the first place), which I resolved with some electrical tape.:victory:
Hopefully it's not worse than that, good luck.
I created a thread about a similar issue. I have the Asus dock. Charging on there is brilliant. Charging via USB is pathetically slow

So it could be that your charger is not powerful enough ... Tablet need more than phone usually. I know that because I use the same charger for my Nexus and a Samsung SIII and the time it takes to get from 5% (typical ) to 100% is quite different!
I had this slow charging problem on both mine and my wife's N7. Checked, opened and adjusted the battery connector a few times through few weeks but it did not solve the problem. Later I found out it was the usb ribbon connecting to the mirco usb port behind the speaker was loosen even when locked. I cut and stick a small piece of tape on the back of the ribbon, thicking it slighty, relocking it back in place. Solved the charging issue and both devices are charging back on time properly.
I'm having crazy slow charging recently on my Nexus 7 and I'm trying to figure it out myself.. USB or Dock charge the same; about 300-400mA, that's it. USB speeds. Using the stock charger and cable.
I recently went to AOKP so I wonder if it's something there but I can't figure it out.
I've found that different combinations of USB cables and chargers make a big difference. I have a very long micro USB cable I like to use for charging because the couch is far from the outlet, but attaching that to the Nexus 7 or Nexus 5 wall charger yields a slow charge. If I play a game like Magic 2014 while charging that way, the battery goes down as I play. However some of the short USB cables that came with devices produce a fast charge with both the N7 and N5 wall chargers - the battery actually moves up while playing the same game. So I've resorted to using an old-school AC extension cord and plugging the good cable into that so it can reach the couch.

I had this issue for a long time. Tried all the chargers and ROMs I could get my hands on.
Decided that it should be an hardware problem.
I opened up the Nexus 7 and re-soldered all the USB contacts.
I removed the flat cable that goes from the USB PCB Surface mounted connector and cleaned the contacts on it and re-plugged it.
I removed the battery and cleaned the contacts in there with electric cleaning spray.
I re-soldered the battery contacts on the PCB side.
My nexus 7 now goes from 0% to 100% in about 3 hours.

Do you have a video of how to do that? I've bought a new battery thinking that the problema was in my battery. Did not work well, still with the low charging. I don't want to spend more money. So, do you have a toturial of how you did it?

Have you tried using a different charger or tried charging through your PC to eliminate potential problems with the plug and cable? Just a thought.

Try to jiggle the cable in certain directions such as up down left right and see if it starts to charge. If it doesn't, return the sucker.

I have found the N7 is picky with cables' the default one that comes with it works fine but doesn't seem to want to charge through my car charger.
My epic4g cable doesn't work and neither do any of my other USB cables.
Same with the charger, it has to have a dedicated live connection and no USB splitters with multiple ports.

My car charger doesn't work either but my computer/tv/printer/tivo/wall/everything else works just fine... it must be a voltage issue with the car charger.
I remember reading that the charging issue some of you guys r having is a confirmed hardware problem, due to poor quality control. Asus was in such a rush to get the first few batches out that certain faults made it into a select number of batches. Other people who have had this hardware problem either could only use the Asus adapter, or that might not even work. You should try to get it replaced by your seller. I'll post the source in the morning if everyone's too lazy to Google.
Cheers
possible fix
I've read on other forums that it is the usb port. I my experience it is a intermittent connectivity or the wall wort isn't putting out enough amps. I bought an iGo Green for the iPad, put the tablet in Airplane mode and it will work fine while using it. Last night I shut it all the way down, let it charge overnight and woke up with a full battery.
Seems like only high output chargers work. All my 2.1A chargers work with Nexus 7, but lower output ones do not charge even when Nexus 7 says it's charging.

My 8GB arrived Monday , 1/2 charged pluged in to the 2A charger it says its charging but the battery just drops. Turned off and left overnight and its still no more than 20% charged.
I need to find an app that shows charging
check output of charger, check cables, check charge on phone vs tab then send back to Google for a replacement grrrr
I have the same problem, how do I fix? I have the 16 gb version.
The N7 seems to be having a lot of problems with charging. A couple times when my battery has been completely dead, I have had a tough time getting it to begin the charging process. One time I watched it begin to charge, then boot up, stay on for about 20 seconds, turn off, and then not charge. I have no idea what's going on. I always eventually get it to work, but something doesn't seem right.
Remedy
Google Play telephone support had be factory reset my Nexus 7 8GB. After the reset, the battery began charging. A major nuisance having to redownload everything, but it does work. Good luck

my nexus7 will not charge until it has completely drained....
I am aware of the current battery problems, but mine is a bit different....
Even after going to bootloader and choosing power off my nexus will sit on charge (wall) overnight and be dead in the morning, even though it was at 30% when plugged in....
The only way to charge it seems to be off my laptop. but even then it takes over a full day to charge.
If i hook up to laptop while runing it basically only slows down the drain but still doesn't charge up....
this is very frustrating, and i'm at my ropes end
would dowgrading to an older rom take care of this issue?

No solution, I'm afraid, I'm chiming in to say that I have also been having problems since the same time. For two days, I have been trying different combos of chargers, cables, and outlets, to see if other equipment is the problem. But all of it works fine with my Nexus 4. Mostly, I am experiencing that the unit says "charging" but the battery level is going down instead of up. I managed to get a full charge overnight by using an external battery that I got just for this type of emergency backup. After use, it is back down. This morning, third cable I tried finally seems to be working, for now. In 40 minutes it went from 63% to 65%. I am somewhat relieved but this situation is not normal.
I'm going to start reading through the forum to try some suggestions. I wasn't paying attention to updates. Has this problem been triggered by a recent update?
I understand some suggestions call for letting the battery discharge entirely. It seems that won't be hard to do. I can leave it plugged in and, as happened with most of the cables I tried, the battery level will go down to zero pretty fast. I'm really annoyed, but very happy right now that I splurged on an external battery.
Have you tried a new charging block... That would more that likely be your culprit.

I used three different chargers plus the external battery. Two of the chargers have two inputs (i.e., for Apple and non-Apple products). I have five different charging cords, longest is 6 ft and the others much shorter (two are from Monoprice), and one retractable I usually use in the car. I tried every combination I could think of between chargers, cables, input ports, and several different electrical outlets at two locations.
All the various combos functioned fine with my Nexus 4, the other device I have with me. None of them worked with the Nexus 7. All showed as "charging", but they weren't. In some cases, the numbers were going down quote rapidly. Goes without saying, when you're charging, it shouldn't go from 64% to 59%.
The thing that finally worked - with no hiccups - was the external battery. Since everything worked on the Nexus 4, it's quite apparent the problem is the Nexus 7.
Having said that, by this morning, things inexplicably changed for the better. With the device at around 70%, I connected one of the chargers and it functioned normally. Battery filled up within the normal timeframe. I was using it intermittently while charging, as I often do.
I'm glad it's working and very glad I have the external battery that can fill up both the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 in a pinch. But I still think there's something wrong with the Nexus 7, and I'm not knowledgeable enough to dare try some of the more technical suggestions. Just the term "shorting out the pins" is enough to warn me that I'm not expert enugh to try anything like that. For now it works, I hope it lasts like that until perhaps I can understand the issues a little better.
I'm having the exact same issue as you guys and it has me stumped. On some days it'll work, others it wouldn't. At first I thought I could fix it by rebooting but last night mine just drained all the way down overnight while charging from around 50% and this morning I wasn't having much luck getting it charged using the 2 stock Nexus 7 wall chargers that I have. I'll try using an external that I got recently and hopefully that'll solve the issue for now at least.
Edit: Some people have had luck reversing the polarity on their charging block. I'll give that a go and report back whether it worked for me or not.
Edit/Update: Yup, flipped my brick around so that the big end sticks off the left side and it's at 32% now from 0% after 2.5 hours. You guys might have some luck with this too.
Nexus 7 fails to charge
We have two Nexus 7 in the house, one 11 months the other 6 months old.* The older one stopped charging just before our holiday last month so we took the other. It stopped charging while we were away.* Fortunately my wife had here Samsung Ace [mains] phone charger with her. This worked every time.*
Once home I checked the two Nexus 7 mains units and 2 Nexus 7 usb cables. No combination would charge either Nexus 7.* The Samsung mains charger would always charge both Nexus 7.
Solution:* Suspicious, I ordered an Asus Nexus 7 cradle while we were away. Any combination of Nexus 7 mains unit and usb cable charges both Nexus 7s on the cradle.
Conclusion: The USB socket on the Nexus 7 cannot take repeated insertion and removal of the cable.
Hope this may help somebody.
Yea I had the EXACT same story as you. I had for got to take my nexus 7 charger on holiday but I had my Samsung galaxy ace (s5830i) charger so I used that. when I came back and pluged In my charger It said that It wasn't charging so I used my brothers nexus 7 charger but still no good. It said that my brothers nexus 7 was charging but not mine and than I figured out what I had damaged... My nexus 7 charging port. I had proved this by comparing the the 2 charges and they where very different... Luckly It was still under warranty so I took it to (I cant tell you that). I looked all innocent and pretended I was new to this stuff and they then tried to charge it but no use so they replaced it with a new one but now I know not to put different chargers in my new nexus 7 and that goes to people out there as well

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...
Hi Folks...
My Nexus 7, rooted with Cyanogenmod 10.2.1. Grouper since 2014, has been absolutely trouble free until now.
The charging icon was spinning, indicating the battery was being charged, but it was not. The charge never went up, it only when down. This is with the factory wall charger.
At first I suspected software issues, as I noticed mediaserver appeared to be draining. I did a data reset, and the mediaserver usage went away. But the charging indicator still indicated charging even though it wasn't. I also tried the "magic bullet" battery apps, but I didn't expect them to help, and they did not.
I replaced the USB port as I thought it might be bad, and a bit worn out. That did not correct the problem.
I bought a new battery and that did not correct the problem.
That brings me to where I am now. I modified a USB cable that externally charges the battery. The battery quickly and fully charges, and the tablet works as it used to. When that battery starts going down (to about 20%, but it takes a while as it is only sipping the juice!), I pull that battery out and replace it with a freshly recharged battery (yes, also externally charged). Has anyone else dealt with this? I'm wondering if it's a hardware issue where the data cable in the USB port is working but the charging cable in the USB port isn't getting the charge up to the battery. Should my next step be to replace ribbon cables, and if so, which ones and where would I get them? I know opening the tablet up every other day to switch out batteries isn't the best way to go! I did a search, but did not find anyone with a similar problem.
Thanks!!!
I was too wordy above.
The spinning icon indicates the tablet is charging, but it is not. USB port and battery have been replaced to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks!
LOL.... I'm having a pretty good conversation with myself! That's okay. I talk to myself a lot... and it helps me figure things out for myself. The latest: swapping externally recharged batteries is keeping the tablet running fine. But now, whenever I go to Battery in Settings, the only item listed as using battery is Android System, at 100%. No longer is screen or other apps listed. Oh well... Think I'd better do a Titanium backup soon!
Does it charge it the unit is powered off?

Thank you for the reply! No. It doesn't charge with the tablet turned off. It will show the charging animation when you press the power button, so it appears to be charging, but it's not. Oh.. I did clear the Dalvic cache and the battery settings is once again showing all battery usage.
You could try a pogo cable if you can find one. Really sounds like a capacitor in the charging curcuit is bad. I would just swap out the motherboard.

Thank you, PsiPhi! I apologize for the late reply. I've just continued to swap battery with a freshly charged one. I looked and saw that the motherboards are not that expensive. Kind of surprised me. I should give that a try. Again... thank you!
My phone is two months old and has ceased to quick-charge. Actually, 90% of the time, it will only charge when powered down. I use the factory charger and cable but get a message that I need to use the original charger and cable. Catch 22?
I bought it at Best Buy so I took it back to them this evening. My charger is fine as is my cable. Best Buy confirmed that my issue is a factory defect and politely sent me on my way. I take care of my phones if nothing more than the fact that I've had to replace micro USB ports in the past. The weird thing is that when it charges powered down, it seems to refresh to full battery very quickly.
Has anyone else had similar issues? If in fact, I do have to deal with ZTE, what has been members experience?
Thank you for letting me vent.

U can test your charger using USB volt amp reader on another phone which supports quick charging.
If charger works as it should then u need to test your phone with multimeter to see how much current it draws while phone is powered off without charger (battery only).
But that means you need to open 2 month old phone which i dont recommend if u have warranty.
Axon 7 draws about 2.66-2.68 amps while in quick charging mode. Volts i forgot but i think it was 6v. I'm not in shop at the moment so i cant know exactly.
But for amps i remembered.
Wallor77, thank you for your reply. My charger is in good working order. In fact, I have several 2.0 and 3.0 chargers. They all work fine on my Samsung Galaxy Note Edge. The Samsung displays "Fast Charger Connected" on the lock screen.
Now my ZTE Axon 7 will not charge while it is powered up. As soon as I turn it off, it charges just fine. This is really annoying!

If your charger and cable are OK, perhaps have you recently installed an application which limits the power. Such methods exists in some antivírus to preserve the health of the battery. It's just an idea.

Same thing there. If it charges normally while power off u need to see how much amps. USB volt amp reader is a good little device. I recommend for everyone to get one. It cost about 15 bucks. From there it's all about elemination process to diagnose proper issue

I second this. But $15?! You can get them for about $5 on aliexpress!
U have USB volt amp reader with both volt units, amp units, time duration and mAh over time charged value. But 15$ was about avarage price listing. I'm sure there is cheaper as well.
UPDATE: 6/2/17
I ended up sending my phone to the ZTE repair center in TX. It took about 3 weeks to get it back. There was no explanation of what was repaired and I received my original phone; not a refurbished one. All I know was that it was covered.

Last night, mine started doing this. It goes on and off about every two seconds. What's weird is it only does this with the quick charger. it slow charges when connected to a PC usb just fine. Its not the OEM charger either since my wife's quick charges just fine with the exact same charger.
Guess I'm going to have to call ZTE....
Mine suddenly stopped quick charging - I have 3 different chargers that work fine with other phones except for this one. And chances of all 3 of them going bad at the same time are slim to none. Tested different cables as well, but again same result. It charges with normal speed even when connected to QC3.0. Tried wiping cache. I think it's no different if I turn the phone off. Think it might be time to move on. Had it since December 2016, so I guess it's nearly 2 years old now. Still shame.

Quick update. Swapping batteries (OEM) hasn't helped. I wonder if this is software or hardware related
Let me add to this thread. I'm also not getting quick charge anymore for maybe a month already. Tried different cables, booting to safe mode, etc. There are few instances where i see quick charging but very rarely. I was thinking it's my usb port but I haven't opened my phone yet to verify.
