Maybe the USB flex cable is damaged? Maybe the connection on the motherboard damaged? Maybe a loose connection?

Same issue faced .
My issue is bcoz of the ic. Main ic got damaged that leads to full board complaint and thats why charging is not working.
Replaced full board on local shop it cost me rs 3500.

moisture affects the usb slot on the I9000 leading to charging failure and heating problems, try cleaning or blow drying with gentle warm air
also clean your battery contacts
I wonder if it can be replaced ...
If it can, you are saved
is this normal?
Not too
dont know what it was but after i pressed i up again with a small needel it works again^^

Suddenly...... Nexus 7 is not charging up

I have been using my nexus 7 2012 for a year now .. it worked brilliant .. but now this horrible issues has sprung in from nowhere .. the battery wont charge up, or rarely it does,, but very slowly. i am running stock 4.4 unrooted . i have checked my ports for dust, swapped several cables and chargers (also used the original charger and cable). but with no luck. Surprisingly the problem appeared suddenly, one day it charged normally , the next day i left it on charge at 60% and returned to find it on 59%.. help me .. this is driving me crazy
Install the Battery Monitor Widget - should give you an idea of charging/power consumption. I'm assuming you've tried using the stock charger and cable?

Yes i used stock and non stock chargers and cables .. i am using battery widget reborn app to monitor the battery stats.. i also attached the screen shots but for some reason they are not showing up
I think your battery connector is messed up. U might have to open your tablet and disconnect then reconnect the cables.

Search in the forum people have fixed it many times u have top open up your tablet and dc/rc yout battery.
]I too have this same issue....
I have the official dock and never had any charge issues until yesterday....
While it's in the dock, it clearly shows it charging and yet the battery meter appears to be losing charge...
I have tried with the original cable and plug among other cables and yet nothing...
The only way for me to get charged is to turn the unit off and yet it still charges painfully slow...
Anyone with a solution other than opening the thing up and hoping it's the plug?
I am running 4.4.2
Mine's having the same problem. It seems to be a hardware problem.. It's charging very slowly or can't be fully charged.
* I have other devices running 4.4 without charging problems.
Mine started with the 4.4.2 update....
It's very strange... If I turn it off and charge... it charges (again) very slowly.... 3 hours and I went from a 2% charge to 59%...
Doesn't matter if I use the dock or plug it in direct.....
So, to me... I would say a software problem... I just don't want to do a full reset and re-install if I don't have too...
my wife's was all the way dead today after not being used and wouldn't turn on. left it plugged in for 30 min and it powered on with only 2% battery. i t is stock unrooted and everything was all good until 4.4.2 is now charging very slowly. I switched to a non oem usb wire with the asus charger to see if it helps. it is the only stock android in my home (out of 7 devices) and I plan to keep it that way for now.
I've been having this issue for about a week and its not fixed. Anyone here can link me to the post where the guy DC/rc his cables? I'll try anything

You can find it on youtube.. Just search for Nexus 7 battery fix.. I've tried on both my wife's and my Nexus 7 but it's not helping. Be careful not to break any connectors..

N7 is very easy to open and close back.
I had the EXACT same issue 2-3 times this year and disconnecting the cable and reconnecting it back fixes it EVERY TIME.
The battery cable is short and the battery is loose so movement pulls the cable out. Not all pins are touching so it results in poor contacts or no contact at all.
Its a design flaw that can also be fixed by sticking a folded paper under the battery.
Voilà!

I'll try that when I get home. My n7 has not been charging for so long its starting to scare me. I tried pushing the cables in but it seems like its pushed as far in as it'll go.

Ok...
I have opened it up and reset the battery cables...
They originally looked pretty secure though... pretty tight....
Here's hoping that unplugging and plugging the battery back is solves the issue...
I be back....

Tried unplugging and replugging but it's still the same. I think it's my charging connector though. It randomly disconnects when I plug it into the PC. Tried with 3 different cables even the stock one. But I'm not sure if it's the port or the battery. It charges up to < 60 slowly but it doesn't go beyond that and starts draining. Thinking of selling it and getting a flo instead

Just a thought, but another possibility is that the ribbon cable to the USB/headphone jack flex assembly has worked loose to the point of intermittent connections. See "step 10" of iFixit's N7 teardown
Or, if the connector itself is mechanically damaged, maybe there is some way to buy just that Asus sub-assembly. Anyone have a source?

Edit - wow, folks are selling them on eBay for US $50. yikes.
I have the same problem, I purchased a nexus 7 charging dock from Amazon and it charges flawlessly. The dock charges using the 4 pins on the side of the tablet. BTW...The charging dock is under 24.00+ Shipping.

Note 3 charging problem

This morning my battery was dead and the phone was off.
When I used the supplied charging cable plugged into the wall, it shows the battery with the circle to show its plugged in, then goes to the battery with the green bar and switches off. It vibrates and then shows the battery with the circle and and then the charging battery, and does the same again.
When I turned the phone on it shows no charger is connected. I think it did show the power bolt in the battery after a while, but charged very slowly.
I get exactly the same with 2 different micro usb cables. Even when its stuck in this charging loop it is charging slowly as when I turn the phone back on the battery is showing a bit of green and not just ! in the battery,
I read on another forum a few people with the same problem, but they seem to be getting fobbed of and the cable blamed. I am 100% sure its not the cable.
So that leaves the port or something else in the phone.. But if its getting a charge from the cable.. it doesn't sound likely.
My PC does not detect it as a device though.
Anyone else on here experienced this?
If your computer doesn't even see it, and you're absolutely sure it's not the cable, then it's quite possible is the micro usb port, or the board itself. You can rule out the board by outfitting it with wireless charging past and charging plate. If it charges fine there its the port. If not its likely the board.
Alternatively, send it in for warranty repair or take it back where you got it.

There where about 10 people with this on another forum, some blamed the cable but most said its an issue with the phone.. I was thinking of sodding the warranty and rooting it a few weeks ago too. Doubt I will be doing that now :laugh:

Had same problem with my S3, and turned out to be USB port problem but to fix it had to change board, which I didn't do cause of its price, hopefully won't happen to my Note 3, hope samsung makes stronger and more efficient ports.

[D800] [DeadBoard] Help needed

Hi,
I'm not really sure if I should be posting this (hardware related) but please excuse me if it is inappropriate here.
I have an LG G2 D800 that I bought couple of months ago. I was in love with the phone. It was giving me 2 full days backup, amazing Cloudy ROM on it that I was enjoying.
Couple of weeks ago I got it wet in rain. I left it dry out for about a week. Everytime I turned it on I was seeing a water spot on the screen so I used to turn it off immediately and let it dry more. Then I took it to LG service center and the guy over there cleaned the board with iso propyl alcohol and that seemed to fix it. But the battery was draining faster than before, it was dying off within a day.
So I took it to the LG guy again, he took it apart again to see if there was any more salt deposits on the board and he cleaned it up again and switched on. The LG logo showed up for about 5 seconds and then it turned off. Then after that, the phone has refused to turn on. No amount of charging, no amount of cleaning up the board has helped. He even checked the board if it has shorted but it hasn't.
He says the board has shorted all through and there's nothing that can be done. BUT I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT.
What do you guys think? Is the board dead and unrecoverable? How do I go about confirming this?
I need to clear this thing in my head, it is killing me. Please help.
TIA!
Did he try replacing the battery? Or the flex cable?

Nope. Do you think I should? The battery was giving 2 full days (since it is just 2 months old) before the water damage. And then when it did work for two days before it stopped working completely, it was giving 1 day of charge.
Yeah. I think the battery either died or the flex cables has gone bad

Ok, thank you for the reply. One other thing that I should have mentioned is that, when I charge the phone it heats up. At first the the board heats up, especially the top-right portion (when you lay the phone on it's back) and then if charging is continued the whole phone including the screen turns hot.
I honestly cannot answer that question. Knowing it is water damaged, i can only assume that something of the board malfunctioned due to exposure.

Thank you, that's fair enough. But do you think if it is worth trying out a new battery or a new flex cable?

Does your phone charge at all? Or does it charge but doesn't last for very long? If it doesn't last long then replacing the battery is the way to go. I would think that is the reason the motherboard is heating up too because the battery is not fully taking in the power.

Faulty Samsung Charger

Hey guys just yesterday I burnt my phones charging port while charging my phone.
Copper pins inside of cable we completely burnt and maybe the phones port pins were burnt too.
I have submitted my device and charger to Samsung Service Center and now I am waiting for their response.
I checked my Electricity socket and it was completely fine.
Prior to this incident I used to hear ticking sound whenever I used to move my phone while charging which I ignored thinking that it was some sort of system sound. But later I realized that it was coming from charging area as I used to hear it even if phone was shut down.
Is anyone facing such issue with charger? If so please replace the charger as it will probably turn into a nightmare.
Btw, I am using Exynos version. :good:
Oh, they are going to replace the motherboard if charging port is faulty, better ask for a new phone... Charging port isnt replaceable anymore, samsung became just like apple.

Yes, they are gonna change the motherboard. Why do you suggest asking for a new phone instead? Can I do that?:silly:
if you are using authentic charger and cable, this shld be alright.

I had the same issue and called customer support and got replaced.
It took a while to process but I got the new phone.
Check on Samsung customer service page
Definitely try to have it replaced in stead of a motherboard change.
