So this issue happened out of no where after my phone died to zero last night. I tried charging it back up but all I could get out of it was the grey charging battery but it would only stay on for 1-2 seconds shut down and reboot. Let it charging for an hour and got to about 1-2% and it would die as soon as it booted up. Factory restored to OA6 and still see the same issue. This is also the odd thing... I was able to connect it to my computer and use Oden to do the restore! After lots of troubleshooting, trying 4 chargers, I realized wireless charging still works fine. Charged it up 100% over night and wireless charging is still working fine and phone is working fine. Still cannot get USB to be recognized while on either by computer or from USB charger. With a full battery, phone off, and USB plugged in phone still flashes the grey battery icon and reboots constantly.
Only thing I can think of is I had it in my pocket after spin class for a little and moisture might have gotten in the port?
Any ideas what happened here?
Update: I ended up just buying the Nexus 6P since I'm about due for a new phone anyways.
Well just figured I would pass this along. Was bored before and looked at diagrams to fix the USB board and saw this little port in the back you can access really easy. Decided to open that up and press the connection down a little tighter (the USB board is separate from the main board). USB didn't work before doing this, then pressed it tighter plugged USB in again and it worked.

ive had it for a month and a half and now its doing this, plug in the charger to the tablet and nothing. ive tried with different outlets aswell ive checked my power adapter to see if its one of the effected ones but mine was a pre assembled one. ive also restarted the tablet with no luck. time to call asus?
Do you have another device that charges by usb, that you could plug in to see if it sees anything for power? Not sure on the usb pinout for our chargers, but if someone knows, you could use a voltmeter to probe it and see if it has any output.
k got it charging now, hooked it up to my pc with the usb cord to see if the cord or the socket is shot, still connected to my pc....but it reinstalled device drivers as if i never used it on my pc. i turned usb debugging on then off, then i unplugged it and put the cable back into the power adapter and its charging
this is concerning, seems like a usb driver issue that effects the port not sure if i should call asus and do something about it
Sorry to bring this up but I started noticing this today too. I've had mine for about a month and everything's been fine. I noticed that the battery was in the 30s so I plugged it in via the a/c adapter and neither my battery widget nor the system battery icon change to the "charging state". I shut the device off to see if it would charge quicker and left it off for what must have been an hour and the battery has only increased by about 7%. I'm timing it now to see how long it takes.
This happened to me this morning. I couldn't get the tablet or the dock to charge. The dock was at 3% and the tablet at around 75%. Neither would charge either singly or together. I tried using a normal 5v USB charger for a few minutes, but without success. Then I fiddled with the charger and uncoupled the 3 pin UK adaptor. It then started charging. I'm not sure if it was coincidence or not, but at the moment it's working.
B50K tablet and B50K dock.
I have a B50 also running the newest firmware via Revolver 1.1.1, I just booted up my TF after an hour of it being off and connected to the A/C outlet to see how much it had charged. It increased 2% in the past 70 minutes. Something's Fishy here.
did u guys try method of hookin to your pc, then turn on usb debugging.
i havnt had any issues recharging since this thread was made
I connected it to the computer a few times and USB Debugging was already on, I just turned it off and I'll try and connect it again but I'm currently backing up stuff with CWM.
Edit: I just cycled USB Debugging a few times while it was connected to my PC. XP (virtualized through Arch Linux) recognized it each time, but still no change in the charging status. I'm going to unroot and go back to the stock 3.1 to see if it's a software or hardware problem.
Edit: seems to be a hardware problem considering I reflashed it back to stock (unrooted) and it's still doing it. Awesome.
Same problem here. All of a sudden I didn't see any status from the dock battery (dual battery widget). Tablet charges just fine, but the dock won't charge. even left it connected to charger overnight but the dock led just keeps blinking orange (/red). I'm afraid the dock will have to go RMA.
Just got an email back from Asus and they told me to fill out an RMA. It'd be nice if I got one out of the B70 batch as a return
edit: sadly, that didn't fix it. I re-rooted, let the battery drain down until it turned off and wouldn't turn back on, then let it charge for 2 hours. I turned it back on and the battery was at 5%
So I got my SGS4 about 8-9 weeks ago and flashed the Omega ROM. Everything was functioning perfectly up until this weekend just gone. The battery died on Friday night and then when I went to charge it on Saturday, it wouldn't charge. All that happens is the initial battery charging logo comes up, stays there for a few seconds and then reboots into the same thing, a loop (this happens charging both from a PC and from a wall outlet/power adapter).
The funny thing here is that it doesn't seem to be the port on the phone as it's recognising when something gets plugged in. I can even connect it to my PC and Odin can see it. I have borrowed a fully charged battery off a colleague and done a factory wipe/reset and flashed the stock ROM/firmware. Now I can boot in to the OS. However it still wont charge.
It seems as though the "charging" part of my phone is broken. The port seems to be functioning as the device realises when it's plugged in to either a PC or power adapter, it just wont charge.
Anyway, so I'm trying to figure out if this is a software or hardware problem before I attempt to send it back for warranty repairs.
Let me know if any further details are required. Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance

Although the pc and odin are abe to recognize your phone....there could be dirt particles stuck inside the micro usb port....because we always carry our phones in our pockets...the lint and pieces of thread can get it....i suggest you try n clean it with a small pin....i did it to my phone...and it was much better....but please do be careful..... also try to replace your data cable with an original cable from somewhere else...because with time these cables wear out.....just try it out...good luck....hope you get your phone back to charging condition
Thanks for the recommendations guys. I tried it with the cable/charger that came with the device but there was no difference.
I'll try and give it a careful clean sadeshmagic. Cheers.
If you can find it I would suggest instead of a pin, a can of compressed air. This means no damage to the connectors as you aren't sticking anything in there and any dust/lint/crud get blown out....
Just to provide some closure on this, I got it repaired under warranty and the fpcb board was replaced. It now works fine. Thanks guys.
I have a feeling I might have a similar issue. Woke up this morning, phone dead - no indication from phone that it was charging.
Went to Sprint store and apparently, they dont sell batteries. Dude charged my battery for 20 minutes and my phone turned on, but no indication when charger plugged in that anything was happening.
Used a pin and X-acto to clean out this really gross piece of what appeared to be some kind of sticker/adhesive combined with lint, and now my phone shows as if its charging, but doesnt appear to be. I'm thinking one of the pins is probably corroded and need the same board.
Do you think that board is easy to replace or should I just try to get a replacement through insurance?
I have been running the Google Play Edition from Danvhd for months without much issue.
The other day I went from 06/04/2014c to 06/08/2014 and everything seemed to be fine.
However, I did notice that my device was extremely slow when charging - and in some cases, it was draining while charging.
Started to grow a little more concerned so started watching the charge indicator when it was plugged in. I would see that the lightning bolt would come and go.
If I connect it to a Win7 PC, I get the sound that a device has been connected - but the hardware wizard never starts or after a few minutes it will start but fail immediately. If I unplug the device from the PC, I get the sound it has been disconnected.
I've gently worked the cable connector and USB plug back and forth to ensure its not a loose connection there.
I've reset, wiped, and re-installed - but it hasn't resolved the issue. I am using both 3rd party and original cables/charges.
Any ideas?
I'm starting to lean toward a bad USB board, but thought I would check here before I got into that.
Thanks in advance!

did it used to charge fast?? mine was the cable.. after i got a lg g2 fast charge cable i could charge the s4 in about 40 mins.. maybe less...
It did, but not any more.
Like right now I have it hooked to my PC at work and its charging somewhat. But it'll stop periodically and might not pick up again for an hour.
It has to be the USB Flex Board.
Well, I said that and as the day has gone on - the device started charging as expected and without issue.
Only thing was when I woke up this morning the device was unresponsive (black screen) after being plugged in all night.
Took battery out and back in and booted back up with 100% charge and no issue today with any charger or cable.
So, go figure.....
Replaced the USB Flex Cable and that resolved the issue permanently.
Think it might have gotten wet at the gym.
Back in Feb I started having an issue with charging up my phone, went through several cables and adapters. Eventually using a cable was out of the question as the phone wouldn't recognize that a cable was even plugged in. Initially, I would have to fiddle with the plug some to get it work, then that stopped. Eventually I took the route of buying a wireless charger instead of waiting for parts from China. That worked for a little over a month and a half. Then it would stop charging and give me the red light of death. I would eventually be able to get it charge, but at a slow pace. I first tried with the battery, replaced it and of course it would only recharge via wireless. That worked for about 3 weeks and the problems started happening all over again. I finally got my charging board and a new battery (again just to be sure) in from China. Installed both and made sure all connections were good. In the beginning it would take a charge from a usb cable, if the phone was flat and then that stopped. If you tried to connect it to a computer, it would read "Device is requesting too much power." Wireless worked again so I went with that. Now, the phone is going back to having issues with charging in general. I refuse to give up on the phone, but I feel like I'm running out of options here. I'm running the latest PA 4.4.4 build.
Any suggestions?
Few days ago I left my tablet to go to some place and when I returned the device suddenly "died" - it will not start until I connected my brother's phone USB cable to charge it the next day. When I powered it up, it appeared that the battery suddenly dropped to 0%.
It happened again - I used it tonight, read some articles (had around 30%-60% charge), shut down the screen once, and when I tried to turn it on again, it happened again.
Did my phone suffer from sudden death or what? This is the same guy who tried to change the CSC from France to Singapore (so that's the modification I did so far, everything's the same, including stock unrooted Android 4.4.2).

There are many unknowns: charger, USB cable. or USB charging port. Nobody can give a specific answer except yourself .
This tool will help you to figure out which one is at fault. Step by step should be done : swap charger, USB cable, USB port until problem found
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...&_nkw=usb+current+and+voltage+tester&_sacat=0
Voltage should be 5-->5.2 Volts, current should be 1.5-->1.7 Amps for working charger, USB cable, and USB charging port.
Search Ebay for USB charging port for your model if you need one. I don't know which size of your tablet but most of them are not expensive, under $10 for USB flex FPCB.
