Ns4g ics battery charge

I'm trying to figure out if this problem is just my phone or an actual issue. I just got this phone 2 days ago from craigslist after being with the evo for almost a year. As soon as I got it, I rooted it n tried flashing ics roms themed and original leaked update. On every rom I flashed, the phone wouldn't recognize the charger or usb or it would tell me its charging but it would take 6 hours to gain 6% more battery? I also tried turning the phone off to charge but that didn't work either. Anyone know anything about this n what I did wrong or didn't do?

I've had the exact same problem, i bought a NS4g from craigslist that wouldn't charge or turn on without a charger being plugged in. Long story short, i eventually got it back from Samsung with the warranty being voided due to water damage. So i opened it up and found some oxidation resudue and cleaned it off by scrapping it off. Luckily it worked!!. For you it might just be the battery since it actually says 6%, try to replace with another battery or place the battery in the freezer for 5 mins and try it again.

I flashed the unofficial leak rom again n it charges now but it doesn't say its charging on the lock screen or on the battery icon, but in the system info it says its charging? I have never ran into this type of issue before?

Exact Same Problem
I was given ICS 4.0.4 via OTA update by google... It worked fine for like 2 months then exactly the same problem arises with my Nexus S i9023 (unrooted).
1. It's doesn't indicate on the lock screen that it's charging nor it indicates on the battery icon, however it does tells me that the battery is charging when I check the battery in the settings. This issue exists on both wall chargers and usb cable.
2. It doesn't asks me to mount mass memory of my Nexus S and my windows 7 machine says it cannot recognize the device..
I strongly suspects it's a bug in the ICS...
I would appreciate any help that I can get on this issue... but to be honest I read many threads here and I can't understand half of what people are trying to say, so I request to keep things a bit simple because I know nothing about how to root or flash or doing any other super geeky stuff ...
thanks

Some people have had luck just cleaning the USB port with a dry toothbrush and a can of compressed air. Might just be dirt. Worth a shot.

thanks mate,
Yeah, tried cleaning it with a brush... still no luck..

Bricked my Galaxy S3 please help

Ok this is kinda silly, but it happened.
I was charging my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT something (UK version) via the chargeable USB port on my Samsung n150 notepad with the laptop switched off. During this time I was playing N.O.V.A 3 on my Galaxy S3.
As I was playing I switched the laptop on. As the phone was already charging via the USB I didnt think there would be a probably. But when Windows booted to my log in screen, the phone froze and switched off. Now my Galaxy will not switch on. I can only get it to charge and thats all.
Please help!!

Wait so you have the international version? Shouldn't you post this in that forum? This is Verizon.

Agreed and that is strange how that worked op. Never heard of anything like that. Tried a battery pull I assume?

Need more info first. Can you get into DL mode? Recovery? The only thing I could think of would be a power surge when you turned the laptop on caused the phone to fail (highly unliklely).

While browsing through our list of threads reported as 'Newsworthy' for the XDA Portal, I just came across this one. I wonder whose big idea was to report it as newsworthy. Whoever that was needs a healthy dose of common sense.
PS: Mods, can you please move it to the appropriate forum i.e. the one for the international version?

Happened to a Verizon GS3
My Verizon GS3 was turned completely unresponsive (absolutely dead), with no boot of any sort after I unplugged and then plugged in a USB DAC (Fiio E7). I had been using the E7 for several days but today connecting it to the GS3 through USB To Go killed it.
I have read other instances of the same phenomenon.

[Q] S3 not turning on

I recently got a microusb to usb female cable and was playing around with it on my s3. I wanted to see if the s3 could power a laptop cooling fan (Im a curious guy) and plugged in the usb cooling pad. The pad worked to my surprise but it suddenly shut off. I look at the s3 and the s3 is off too. I try turning it back on but that didnt work. I try taking the battery out and then turning it on but that didnt work. I plugged it into a charger and tried turning it on but that didnt work either. I even tried booting it into download mode and that didnt work. It would be really nice if someone could help me because im freaking the ****s out right now. Thanks

When you put it in the charger, did you give it at least 5 minutes to get a charge? Put it back in the charger and wait a little bit.

I just plugged it in for a few minutes and the phones just seems to get hot and still refuses to turn on

I wonder if the cooling fan tried taking too much power from the S3...
You may have fried the S3 battery or something.
Just a guess

Do you know someone else with an S3 that you could borrow a battery from? I would also think you may have damaged the battery and that would be the quickest way to test for that.

Are you getting any kind of vibration feedback when trying to power it on? I had a similar issue when I used an under powered usb charger. It drained it to the point it wouldnt even boot up and got hot. however, I did have to let charge normally for quite a while. good luck

Pull the battery then put it back in. Ley it charge for an hour. Then try going into recovery. Mine wouldn't turn on one day ( I wasn't doing any experimental stuff though) but that's what fort me running. Once I was on recovery I just selected reboot system and it fired right up.

I tried using a different battery. Still didnt work

I got verizon to send me a replacement device but would they figure out the device is rooted? The phone is completely dead and does not turn on even with a different battery. Anyone ever send in a rooted device to verizon?

Phone wont turn on - need to send to verizon but its rooted

I plugged it into a charger and tried turning it on but that didnt work either. I even tried booting it into download mode and that didnt work. I have tried almost every troubleshooting method including trying a different battery and that did not work either. My phone is rotoed with CM10 on it and I need to send it back to verizon once I get my replacement. Is there a way to reset the internal sd card even when the phone wont turn on? Will verizon even find out if the phone is rooted if it wont turn on? Has anyone ever sent in a rooted phone to verizon once they got a replacement and been ok? Your help, thoughts, and any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. (As calm as I may sound i am freaking the crap out right now).

My first tip is to stop posting the same question. It's been answered in your previous threads. Just like droidstyle said they won't know if it's rooted unless you tell them. As far add testing the internal memory, there is no way since it won't turn on.

[Q] TF101 original Charger Burned tablet

Hi guys,
This is my first post! in this great forum!
CASE:
I have a TF101, one day i broke part of the USB cable, and obviosuly it stoped charging.
So i went to amazon and order 2 USB cables (amazon from navitech)! one to use with my desktop and one for charging and stuff.
Wehn they arrived home i tested them and i was GREAT:victory: so i went to bed start playing around with it and let it charged until the next day, and i was also downloading a game and a torrent.
When i woke up... the charger was smelling burned and the tablet was not showing nothing...
My first though was: ok the charged burned so the tablet must be OK and it has no battery bc what i left him doing drained to the last bit
when i went to test it didn't charged off course so i order a new charger (ebay 15v) what made me worry now... is that with this new charger it doesnt show nothign not even that battery sign with the little part in red...
Any positive thoughts? :crying:

any help ?

Sorry to hear that. I suppose you already tried the easy things... keeping power pressed for at least 10 s, using the cable to connect the tablet to a PC and seeing if it is recognized as a device and those.
I hope you can solve it.

1st of all thanks for trying to help.
Yeah i did im really considering to go to store to check if the repair is expensive or not but:
keeping power pressed for at least 10 s = Did nothing
using the cable to connect the tablet to a PC = doesnt charge and dont recognized

I guess its a bad sign nobod has any ideas how to solve this...
I'll post a reply after i go to the store.
