[Q] Nexus S not recognising charger?

My Nexus S was recently upgraded to 4.0.4 stock a month ago, and has been running perfectly without any problems. However tonight I've noticed that when I plug it in, it doesn't recognise that it's being charged (when the phone is on or off), whether this is on the lock screen, or how it used to display the lightning bolt over the battery. It just keeps telling me to connect my charger.
I have no idea why this has suddenly happened and am wondering if anyone else has had any similar issues, and how I could fix this?
Thanks

Clean the USB port?

Either the USB port has some dirt in it preventing the charger to make proper contact or you have faulty hardware. Doesn't seem anything related to the software since it doesn't recognize the charger when it's off.

stupid question.. have you tried a different charger?

Thanks for the quick replies. So last night I left it on charge and the battery fully charged however it still isn't telling me that it's actually charging unless I go to Settings>Battery to check there.
I tried using a different charger but no luck, and also using a USB cable to my laptop. Also it isn't showing me that I am able to transfer files via USB connection anymore.
I did clean the USB slot using compressed air and still no luck after that.
What I'll try now is a factory reset to see if that remotely helps anything.
Cheers

So I tried resetting the data etc. through the bootloader but still no luck Any ideas?
Thanks again,

Ok so it's gotten worse. When I power down, the phone hangs at the Power Off part, it vibrates to shut down then the phone freezes at that screen.

Ok I fixed it. It turns out that the micro usb tab inside of the phone tends to drop on the Nexus S, so I took a knife to gently lift up the tab and secure a better connection and every single problem has been solved.
Thanks to everyone for your quick responses, it's greatly appreciated.

Good to hear you got it sorted. I'll keep that trick in mind.

I've been trying to find the solution for this very problem for the past couple days.. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Worked perfectly.

Mine is doing the exact thing. Still charges though

Hi, I am having this exact problem, but before I do your trick, I just want to clarify:
by micro usb tab you mean the tiny tab inside the usb port of the Nexus S? Basically the tiny tab that goes inside the usb cable when you connect it?
Thanks!

[Q] Sony Smartwatch MN2 won't turn on (without usb cable)

When holding my watch, trying to boot it up, nothing happens, the watch does not turn on.
Once connected to it's USB cable, The device shows up the SONY splash screen, then tries to pair with my phone.
Appearently, he does not remember my phone, it just keeps searching. When I delete the SmartWatch from my BT device list, then pair with the device again, the MN2 works well again like it should, but still connected to the USB cable. How can I force DFU mode?

Sony Dumb? Watch
I have similar issues and mine wont even perform any task at all. I instaled the proper software but nothing happens. The only thing Ive suceded with is to pair by confirming the bluetooth digits. My watc wont even show me the time... Im getting desperate...... Help!

You posted the same issue in 2 threads (crossposting is not generally appreciated...)
Anyway, don't despair, if possible try pairing with another smartphone and see if it works this way.

OK sorry bout double posts... Will stick to one thread.And IOḿ waiting for another droid to ry it out... But I have a Z Ultra so I feel its a shame for sony making it6 so hard...

I had a lot of problems with MN2 battery and charging issues. The best thing is to contact Sony and send it for repairs and it is likely it will happen again. Now I'm using SW2 and its so much more reliable and durable with less problems than MN2 I recomened you get the new watch

[Q] Xperia L shaking screen when charging

hi guys, im a newbie here, especially using android, its my first time
I'm having trouble with my Xperia L, i bought it 3 weeks ago.
Ther problem is, when i connect the phone to the charger, the screen is shaking when i touch and hold it (not scrolling, just hold it at the same place). I have asked some of my friends that using sony. First is Sola user, he said his screen is shaking too when charging using comuputer, his phone screen is shaking too when he charge it using adapter in 2nd floor of his house (it means, when he charge it on 1st floor, the screen is normal), and the second is Xperia L user, he said, his phone screen isnt shaking even when he charge it, lately i called the service center using cellular , but they said its alright, still im not sure . So, can anyone give me some information my problem ? do i have to take it to sony service center ?
Thanks before
FYI : I'm from Indonesia, maybe my english isnt good, so im sorry for any mispelling.

Do not take by water, because it is the high frequency power supply affects the phone.

What does High Frequency mean ? i mean where does the frequency come from ? Thanks
Btw, i tried use iPad 2 charger (2.1A), and the screen is normal, but the output is make me worry

Does the issue persist if you use a charger with a lower amperage output? Or another charger in general? Or when charging from connected to a computer?
What kind of charger does the issue occur with? And does it occur if you connect directly to a computer?

Doesn't look like a stuck power button. The symptoms don't match for it to be that.

the phone reboots that way u mentioned i can connect to tv via dex mode and i can see touch working and phone working but display black
it reboots after every 10 mins i am on ketan custom rom q06 android 10
i can get phone into odin mode and try flashing stock Android 11 which i have on pc
BUT im afraid my phone might die or switch off while flashing stock rom.i asked a repair guy he says problem can be with motherboard .
im not sure to try flashing it

i managed to enter odin mod3 blindly with keys
flashed Android 11 stock firmware it was success
the phone gets On
connects to pc. connects via dex mode to tv also.
no more random reboots
but still black screen display not getting
awake only can access via dex mode or mirror mode

After around 24 hours ...
of soft reseting , stock firmware 11 install . and slapping and tapping and massaging, connecting to tv via hdmi in mirror and dex mode. my phone was in black screen of death.
everything was working. but no display. i can say that becauee in dex mode i used phome dsplay touchscreen and even spen was Workiing but no display.
last thing i was doing when display came back to life after tapping slapping soft reboots i was opening camera app and closimg and opening it multiple times. and i saw at same time display gettimg back.
when i saw a video on youtube telling to do above steps. i thought man he is joking. but literally something out of above worked
So i pray you dont get this dreadful encounter. it just saved me $400 of screen replacment which i had made up my mind on. and i coildnt go today because it was Sunday.
if this happens to you do try this before a repair

I have exactly the same issue. I was typing on whatsapp when suddenly screen get black. Notifications were ok, voice commands too. Touchscreen ok, I could use it normally when using my TV as screen with HDMI cable or with my notebook, when connected to windows or even Dex.
I already flashed fresh stock Android R rom and my display is still dead.
Tried to tap, slap, shake (I can her some noise next to camera module when shaking). I'm draining battery now with some apps that also vibrate phone. Display is still dead.
I live in Manaus/Brazil and repair centers are not working until March 23 because of Sars-CoV2. And my knox is tripped. It would cost a lot If I have to replace display or even the phone, since they probably will say it's no longer covered by warranty.
Were tou opening and closing the camera while mirroring screen? or on blind?
It seems in your case, the display went back to normal as strange as it turned off.
Could you please share the mentioned youtube video?
Hope I have that lucky as well.

Sorry for the late reply mate. The Scenario when display got back alive was.
1. My phone was connected via HDMI to TV in Mirror mode (Not Dex Mode). I also had mouse and a keypad connected since i am using Samsung Dex pad which came with my old note 9
I have from day 1have doubts about the stock camera app on my Note 20 Ultra. The app misbehaved from ranging to camera fail, and force closes on Android 10. That why i did below next
2. I forced close camera app , cleared its data and then while watching on Tv
i placed my finger on Camera icon and repeated opened it and closed it with back key.
since the display on phone was off so i used Tv for help
BUT physically doing the action on phone with fingers not with mouse on screen via mirroring
3. while i was repeatedly opening and closing app by touching the display with finger suddenly i saw camera app asking me for location tags pop up on display and from that time onward there has been no issue and the display is working as nothing wrong happened.
I wish and hope you have resolved issue by now. Please do share your experience for others . since when i had this issue, i found very less information about it. but i saw around 15 to 20 users having such issues especially with Note 20.
Conclusion what i have understood is either its some issue with Note 20 Ultras Camera Firmware or THe Electjet 45W Charger the culprit which i bought for my Tab S7 and was using to also charge my Note 20 Ultra. I have stopped using this charger for my phone and tab and since that day only using 25W OEM charger which came with the phone. I have now this 45w Electjet charger connected via Samsung dexpad which caps its charging speed to 15W.
Here is the link of the video. and i tried all things mentioned and then after exact 24 hours
the display came alive back when doing activities i mentioned above. and i have no link with the guy or channel who posted this video. I was just trying everything to bring life to my dead display .
PS: i had only 5 percent belief in this video . i dont know what worked
i had prepared my mind for the300$ plus panel display replacement.
i just read two recent more comments which state they got their phone working back.
Do read the comments posted as there might be some more clarity of things to try.
(Please Apply reasonable pressure on screen when trying these actions as you might break the Display)

Worked! Slapping it around and massaging it with reboot. Who knew Smack My ***** up! - The Prodigy was referring to modern phone fix'n.

I'm here literally in tears, my keyboard wet typing this because the video actual "Fixed" my phone. I don't know if its a long term fix or just temporary but after 24hrs of a black screen its good to have back a working $1400 phone.
So if this happened to you, dont be skeptical and just try the steps. Last resort is to bring it to a technician or Samsung but definitely try this before.
