Bought a new Nexus S from ebay, it came today, I tried turning it on straight out of the box but no luck. So I figure it came with a dead battery that needs some charging, I let it charge for an hour and try again, no luck.
How long does it normally take for a new phone thats never been charged to power up?
I'm beginning to worry because when I touch the charger and the phone, neither are hot or even warm.
Mine powers on immediately after a dead battery once it's hooked up to the charger. Was there a battery icon when you plugged it in? Is it possible to find another charger to rule out a bad charger?

Do you honestly think thats not on my mind?
I'm just seeing if there are things I can do to fix it before going through the hassle of returning a phone.
Nexus S has no LED. Its just a battery icon that'll pop up on the screen. You can score a battery pretty cheap online. Try that and if that fails, get a refund.

Thanks I'll try that, but do any stores sell smart phone batteries like maybe Sprint, Besbuy, etc? That way I can pick one up today, and not wait days just for a battery to ship.
Have no clue. Best buy might possibly sell them. Not too sure though. I haven't purchased a smartphone accessory from a retail store in a long time.

Guess what? It turned on!
All Saturday I was asking different retail stores if they sold that type of battery but nope or it was like $50+ WTF? So I was leaning on getting one from ebay, but I decided to research and found some crazy idea on youtube.
Hot wired my battery! It actually worked wow.
I don't know if this is a permanent solution so I'll just order a backup battery just for insurance.
Thanks Chronos for all your responses.

Okay, not sure if this is even possible to do but I'm hoping the XDA'ers might be able to assist. I purchased a new battery for my Nexus S. I plugged the bad-boy in and try turning it on and nothing. I plug it into the wall and try turning it on-- nothing. I try putting the old battery back in.........nothing.....
I then noticed the new battery I purchased is a 1440 mAh and the old battery is 1500 mAh. This is probably something I should have checked before I bought it, and something that now makes me feel like a total idiot. What I'm wondering is could this have a hand in bricking my phone? Is there any way of fixing it? Luckily I have a Nexus 4 on the way (eventually ¬.¬) but I was planning on giving the Nexus S to my girlfriend.
Thanks in advance, guys.
No. This is totally tolerable. +-5% is the least that might cause trouble. Well within tolerances. Charge overnight and if no good then return for replacement.

Thanks for the quick reply. The issue is that even the old battery which was at ~75% life isn't even working, even while plugged in.
Can't help much, but just so you can be at ease, mah stands for milli-amp hours, and is a measure of capacity, not power put forth. You want to match the voltage to prevent damage.
At least I've got a Nexus 4 on the way. It just sucks that I can't give this Nexus S to my girlfriend, she's stuck with an iPhone 3G =/
As an update, I had it plugged in overnight and still nothing. I had the original battery in.

I'm just thinking you shorted it. It seems to be happening a lot lately in the Nexus S forums when people pull their battery. Haven't seen anyone able to fix it themselves, they usually send it for repair to Samsung. :/

That's unfortunate because mine is out of warranty now. Thanks for the help, hopefully I can dispute it with Amazon and at least get the cost of the battery back.

Get in touch with Samsung or even your phone company. You could be surprised at what they have to offer. I've heard of some people getting absolutely free fixing from Samsung (albeit not specifically the Nexus S) when out of warranty.

Ordered a white and a black for myself. New with 1-year warranty.
Do you happen to know if they ship to Spain?
Many thanks!
Looks like USA only going by the the States drop down box - no 'other' included.
That being said maybe a few will pop up on eBay with a little bit more of a price increase.

I just wanted to chime in on this old post and say that my phone works fine with this charger. It flickers twice when I first put it on, but it sticks after that. It seems to charge at the same rate as my OEM wall charger and cable, but it's hard to tell for sure.

Ymmv, but my experience with this charger and an early (2012 delivery) Nexus 4 is poor.
The phone initially recognizes the charger and begins charging, but soon looses interest and the charging stops.
By contrast, the Orb, which I swapped for this Nokia unit to save space, worked very well.

You can check the revision in the bootloader. But I guess that won't be necessary. The newer version has better compatibility with QI chargers.

Doesn't matter you need to check boot loader. My gf got a revision 10 and ordered this month. Fkn google. She didn't even get the free bumper. They told her to send it back and order again. Fk logic
I have to report back and say that while I don't seem to have a connection problem with this charger, it doesn't seem to give me a full charge. Twice now I've put it on at night, woke up 6-7 hours later and my phone was at 97-98% (still charging). It was on a completely flat surface so I can't image the phone slipped or moved at all during the night causing it to stop charging.
I should have checked my hardware revision before ordering three of these... I'm r11.
I picked one up from the AT&T site. Just over $25 with free shipping. Only have white and yellow left. I'd imagine they will be sold out in a few once this news gets out.

Hi,
Just got one from Media Markt in Germany for 28€.
They had in Blue, Yellow and White.
I took the white one.
My Nexus 4 is on Rev. 11.
The guy at the shop was kind enough to agree to unpack it and hook it up, so we could put the phone onto it and see if it charges.
Well it did.
So now I am at home... it is charging and even pretty fast. Got about 6% in 10-12 minutes, so I guess in about 3 hours I should have a full charge.
The connection seems to be lost every 10 seconds, but it keeps charging.
I'll report further in 3 hours.
Regards.
NexusPenguin
[EDIT] : Same as Daewond3r here : it stops charging when it reaches 98%. Not a big deal anyways, but still worth mentioning... I might give another charger a try...
So today I was sitting and I felt my pocket was hot. It was my phone, and it was ridiculously hot! I quickly shut it down via system, and let it cool down. I tried to turn it on but it won't. and I also tried charging it as well. I called HTC and they told me to re calibrate the battery, but that didn't do anything. the repair is $120 dollars and probably a few weeks without a phone. What should I do?

I guess it depends on how hot the battery actually got and if it affected the other components.

I would repare it and buy a cheap Nokia-Phone for 20 bucks for the time you dont have your One S. I paid more than 160$ for a new display for my HTC Wildfire wich has actually the worst display on the market.
If you wont let it repair by HTC you can buy a battery but it maybe wont work out because there has to be sth. that made the battery getting so hot. Maybe it was the Mainboard that's a bit broken which let the battery getting so hot. Just my considerations.
So, yesterday, I'm just lounging on the couch, readin' on my OG Nexus 5 (from 2013, mind you). &, BAM !! Just turns off (with about 40% battery). So, I'm thinkin', "Ok. I'll just force a reboot..." NOTHING !! So, I plug it in... NOTHING !! I'm talkin' NO LEDs, no charging indicator, no NOTHIN' !! Can't access recovery or bootloader. I believe it to be a hardware issue, whether battery or some board, idk. So, what do you all think? Replace the battery? And, If it is dead, I'm out of luck !! Because, I have a good amount of research that I hadn't backed up yet. Btw, I'm no slouch, so I've tried every button combo, etc. Neither, do I believe it to be an internal power button issue.

I suggest charging the phone using the original cable and charger that came with the phone. Leave it on the charger for about an hour to see what happens.
Yes, it could be the battery but it could also be something else. I assume you don't have another Nexus 5 to test it with.
Try to disconnect and reconnect the battery's wire. I had a similar problem and it was solved by doing so .

By this, do you mean the long L-shaped one? Or, the smaller connection at the top of the battery? Because, I had disconnected & reconnected the ribbon, but never removed the battery, as I lack that li'l blue tool in the iFixit video.
Well, the battery will be the cheapest unless you can quickly score a used N5 with a damaged screen and working internals.

The small connector not the long L shaped. I think the L shaped is for the speaker and some other components in the bottom of the phone and not related to the battery.
You don't need the blue tool to remove the battery. Just heat the battery with a hair dryer to soften the adhesive. Then, take a a flat blade and gently slide it between the battery and frame. Slide and gently pry the battery away from the frame. I have done this several times on N5s and never had a problem.

Ok. So, I had gone ahead and disconnected & reconnected the battery connector to no avail. :\ (Why do bad things happen to kinda sorta, in a way relatively good people like myself?.. smh) Any other advice?..
So, I'd decided to stop being a cheap BASTARD and ordered a "Genuine OEM Google Nexus 5 LG D820 D821 2300mAh Battery BL-T9 3.8V 8.74Wh" on amazon, sold by YDT Parts for $6.49 (Free Shipping from California) if anyone else is interested. I'll post results after installation, just-in-case anyway else finds themselves in my predicament...
That price is really good for a genuine oem battery compared to prices from etradesupply.

I KNOW, RIGHT !? Hopefully, all that I have is a dead battery. Guess I'll see soon enough. Now, if only there were a way to get a fingerprint reader on this device, I wouldn't update till the N5's no longer updated. (What's the official term for that, anyway? Not EoL, is it?..)
Let's hope it is genuine. I bought one from Aliexpress that looked just like an original but people said it is not an original because the temperature would not go above 29c. I don't know if it is original but it's works fine.
Well, got the battery and NOTHiNG !! So, idk, maybe my N5's just dead. But, the supplier might as well have been from China - Typos, terrible English, the whole 9... Also, my OEM battery's by Sony, but this one says Samsung, so who knows?.. :: shrugs:: I don't trust these companies anymore. Thanks for y'all's input, though.
So not LEDs, no vibration, nothing?
If you have access to a Windows computer, connect the phone to the computer. Does anything appear in device manager?

Anyone had issues with the phone charger?
My girlfriend is using an S7 and she has a lot of problems with the charger. Phone is not rooted or any custom ROM. Just stock. I replaced the chargers twice until now. The first one took almost a year to break. This one took like 6 months or so.. Has anyone encountered this type of issue before? All the chargers are taken directly from Samsung.
Charger starts to show signs of malfunction when it's missing the fast charge option or not charging at all. Then it returns to normal. Then in a matter of days the charger is not working anymore.
Phone variant is G930F. I'll attach a screen of Ampere after the last "charging" with the broken charger. It took the print screen after a minute or so. It's hard to keep a girl away from her phone.
P.S. Charger is 100% broken as I'm not able to charge my phone with it, so I just want to know if this is a phone issue or a voltage issue.
Sounds more likely that the phone is damaging the chargers vs you constantly getting bad charger replacements
Had mine a year now with no signs of problems and fast charging still working fine

You should bring it to the service center, and they will check the port for you. Thing is, the port might be bad, and for this reason it kills all the chargers you buy as a replacement. A sign of this if the charger cable gets very hot on the end closer to the port. I mean the micro usb plug itself. But thats one thing, if it isn't happening, the port could still be broken. You should go see if the port is fine. If it is, then I suspect it as a voltage issue in the house, or something. So worth checking that too. Hope you still have a guarantee on the phone. Because then they supposed to fix it no cost. You sholud try if data transfer is working through cable. If not then it shows again, port issue. If you don't want to to use the phone connected to a PC, or otherwise an easy solution could be buying a wireless charger. So then you didn't fixed the port, but the phone will be charging. But first make sure it's not the houses voltage problem, or the wallplug, because if it is, then it can ruin your wireless charger too.
Thats all I can help. Hope it helps.
Regards, and Good Luck fixing it!

Well thats not an easy one. But I don't really think that's the issue here. If she isn't living in an old house, then there is very little chance of a problem with the curcits. You should ask her if she had any random power breaks or such things in her house. Or light bulbs going wrong too fast. But as I said, I don't think thats the problem. It will be the port, I just mentioned the voltage as a possibility, and the thing what you should keep in mind.
So I suggest Her buying a wireless charger, as her phone is an S7, she can do that. But if I were in her situation I would bring it for a check to Samsung, or wherever she bought the phone (ofcourse if she still has a guarantee as I mentioned earlier). To tell the truth, as I see the problem is with the port, and depending on what you said, I don't think a home solution or buying another charger would be enough in this case.
That's why I mentioned trying wireless charging, because thats not using the port. I hope she can get the problem fixed soon. Poor girl without a phone...

Yeah, I would've sent it to warranty if she had any. She doesn't know much about phones so I feel responsible with this matter.

Yeah I think so too. And you know. There is the swag in that She can show to friends like: "Look my phone is charging without plugged in" or something like that.
Hope that really will help Make sure to send feedback if you fixed it somehow. I'm now planning to buy an S7, so I hope this is a one-of-a-kind problem.
Anyways Good luck really. If she buys a wireless charger make sure she is buying an original Samsung one, because that has fast charge included, and it will sure not ruin the phone.
I'm the one buying stuff here. Haha. Not interested in second hand/fake/refurbished phones.
She got the phone unsealed with "one hour use before" from a local "dealer". I don't approve this and I don't trust him. Apparently he's a good friend with some of her family's friends.
Still returning a phone after one hour of use is not something someone would do if it was working ok. He told me the other user loves Apple more.
Even though i think the other user didn't notice the voltage issue, as it took almost a year for me, until the first charger broke down.
But i prefer sealed products. Even though they don't have warranty as I flash a lot of stuff.
I'm also interested in buying an S7. I have been for the past year. But unfortunately I had to support my mom with some "donations". It's a damn good phone.
Will write here once I manage to get the Wireless Charger. Thank you for your help.

Okay so hi again! Just a quick update here. Maybe if someone reads later. So I was watching this video for fun:
There is a part of the video where he disconnects the battery. He clearly says that the micro-usb port and the wireless charging part is connected with a different cable. Thus the wireless charging still works, even if the port is broke.
I thought it was good to mention this, I was sure about this before, but here you can see clear confirmation on it. The part in question is somewhere in the middle of the video.
So if you manage to screw up your port, wireless charging will be still functional for sure!
Hope I could help!

Everything works fine with the wireless charger!
