My nexus 4 sometimes instantly shows fully charged when it should have been about 50%. It has done this several times now. The animation in the top right and in the pull down also shows a full charge. Turning the phone off and then on again solves the issue it seems. But if I don't pay attention to this, I wonder if it will charge my phone or not?
Uh, sounds like RMA time to me.

That happened to me once. I turned mine off, plugged it in, and turned it back on. That cured the problem and it hasn't happened again since. Crossing my fingers.

Crap this is my second nexus 4 already. No one else is having this issue? Its happened several times and I was hoping it was software related
My phone is shutting down automatically after showing “google” logo. I went back to stock lollipop 5.0.1 but the problem still persist. It’s working fine with the charger plugged in. If I remove the charger after switching on, if I kept it idle, it will stay on till the battery is empty. But if I try to do something it will shutdown. In recovery mode it works well without the charger.
Please help me is anyone facing the same issue.
may be you should try flashing a new kernel
i tried stock Google images still no use.
Is there any noticeable bulge to the battery? It might be a battery issue.
This is almost certainly a battery issue.

I don't think its a battery issue, because if i keep my device idle it'll last 1 day.
It only crashes if i use the phone, even swiping home screens crashes the phone.
Well, you've already gone back to pure stock which rules out a software issue, and so the next thing I thought would be a battery issue. I have read here about defective batteries causing all sorts of problems like losing signal, non responsive touchscreens and bootloops, and so it's a possibility that this is a battery problem.
I got strange problem with my n4..
Battery % randomly change and shut down, unsensible touchscreen, battery icon disappear from menu..
Maybe this hw problem could touch the SW part
that's how my problem started
Battery problem symptoms can manifest themselves in many different ways.

My nexus 4 cant't turn on without charger plugged in. But when I go to Recovery, it work fine. A few days ago, it's sometime shutdown suddently when I was playing game. Then it worked fine after I plugged charger in and turn it on. Is this battery issue?
So even when the device is fully charged it won't boot into Android?

It can boot with a little trick (press the lock icon on boot screen continuously) and work fine with charger plugged in. When unplugged the phone shutdown immediately

Hi all Last night I had the OTA update to android 7.0 I am now having problems charging the phone with cable. I have it set so it makes a sound when you plug in and start charging. Since the update it makes the sound but then keeps doing it and keeps coming up on the screen fast charging. It keeps doing it over and over so you cant do anything with the phone while plugged in as it keeps coming up on the screen. It works fine if I put the fone on my cordless charger pad its fine.
Also keep getting a red line down the right side of the screen, sometimes for a few minutes sometimes for a few hours, this has been happening for a few weeks.
Any advise please

Try a factory reset.
Before a factory reset, try clearing cache.

Turn off your phone, hold power + home + up button for 5-10sec then wait for recovery mode, use volume buttons to navigate then look for clear cache and press power button to clear cache.
Thanks cleared the cache, now seems to be charging fine.

Interesting... I have recently experienced the *exact same problem*, tried different cables, and I was almost about to give up to desperation and panic of assuming the charging/usb pin became faulty...
Now I'm seeing a bit of hope on it.. will try to reflash a stock rom from scratch (including wiping everything) and see if that helps me, too.
If it does, I think we're looking at a Nougat kernel fast-charging bug here, that may be affecting certain hw models...
I had an online chat with Samsung and they have told me to take it to a service centre for them to look at it. Luckily there is one 20 miles away so will take it in on my next day off.
They said they will do most repairs on same day and it is still under warranty.

Don`t believe it took it to the shop he plugged it in and it charged fine. not sure if he used a fast charger or standard charger. He did say with android 7.o if you are charging with a fast charger and you use the phone it turns off fast charging and reverts to normal charge. But they are going to replace the screen because of the pink line down it and he said the charging port will be changed at the same time. Will be ready tomorrow, they did not have it in stock.

let the battery drain all the way to the 0%. ive had same issue few times with my s7 edge it would not respond to any command no matter what i do, then all of the sudded after i didint touch the phone for abouth 6-7 hours i put it on charge again and 0% was shown and started charging.
most probably its a motherboard issue and should be replaced at least in my case

Thanks for your response, i've left it unplogged for more than a day and still nothing. Should i wait longer?
How expensive would replacing the motherboard be?

I'm only telling from my experience, untill your battery is 0 it will be like that presuming it has somewhat same issue as mine . Try pressing buttons from time to time it could help to drain battery faster . On second hand market it should not be more then 40-50 euro. Also AliExpress has motherboards but not new, used

R.I.P S7 edge 2016-2019 will be missed
Same thing ! Phone just totally dead.
The same thing just happened to my S7edge today... I think it's a conspiracy so that we are forced to change the phone.
Sad, I liked that phone.
Nothing would work, it started at first a rebooting loop, then suddenly stopped giving any sense of life.
Doesn't show any indication when plugging the charger. nor responsive to any of the rebooting button combinations...
I even had it on stock Rom and never flashed any customer ROM on it or anything.
I think leaving the phone battery to drain as a solution only works if your phone was already on and it just gave a black screen, but it's still on.
But in my case, it was already in a rebooting loop and I suspect it is not even ON anymore, it just went totally off somehow...
So there is no was to know if the battery is draining.
update:
So I left it overnight. In the morning, I connected the charger and indeed it drained to 0% and started being responsive to charging again.
As soon as it charged to 20% I powered it on. It loaded into recovery, giving the no command screen. Then I went on and selected system reboot.
Then it rebooted and Android started, as soon as I tried unlocking it, it froze and started again into an endless rebooting loop until it blacked out again. Now again not responsive.
I will leave it to drain again. Does anyone know what I shall do when it gets to that endless rebooting sequence. It is obvious that Android had a malfunction... not sure what as I didn't do anything new last week..
Is there a way to get it through without factory reset?
Thanks
Hello.
So, I recently updated my phone 2 days ago for the first time after 2017, and the battery ran out while it was updating, and then it was boot looping and kept getting stuck at 28%.
I decided to reinstall the os on it (I installed the official rom that the phone came with). At first, everything seemed normal until I plugged it and after a while, the led indicator was showing that it was still charging but after I unplugged it from the charger, the light was still on and the screen was completely black and unresponsive.
After a while, the light shut off and after that, it never came on. I tried everything to get it on again: tried hard rebooting, trying to get into recovery, charging with different types of cables and with wireless charging also, basically every combination that came to mind. When I used the wireless charger, it showed that it was charging, but no signs of life on the phone. Samsung support wasn't that much of a help either, they only asked if I used a cable that worked on it and if the phone was water damaged or had any cracks.
Any help will be appreciated!!!

How did you reinstall the OS?

by putting the phone into download mode
Connect usb (not charger) hold vol- + home + power, release power after 5 sec n continue holding vol- + home . If download mode appears flash phone with same csc firmware. If no downlooad mode probably battery or emmc fault.

Or battery

If its an emmc failed qualcomm cpu S7e , pc will detect as qualcomm 9008 port.
For battery you need to manually check battery voltage.

This same thing happened with my s7 edge 3-4 months ago.... i was installing some apps from play store... as usual the device was high at temperature..it turned off... for next a couple of days it was only rebooting when it was very pleasent at temperature... and sudden shutting down within minutes.. the last time it did not turn on but the blue light was on for 4-5 days until it decharged... when the battery fully drained it never accepted charging or turned on yet... i miss my s7 egde... i had many useful data saved in it.. i lost everything..
I know it was the cpu failure...

Looks like RAM failure. Heating phone's back side(after removing back panel with hair dryer for few seconds may help. Not a permanent solution, but for data backup.
