Hello,
So I was playing around flashing roms from here last night, and I was able to load up a rom that I liked, and get it configured to my liking. I noticed while doing that the phone started to get really hot. I didn't think anything of it, and left it on the charger and went to bed. This morning I woke up and the phone has a blinking red light. I did some Googling and it said that it was a completely drained battery. So I put it back on the charger and now the phone was able to boot back up, it says charging, but it is just at 0% and it doesn't seem to go anywhere from there (plugged in via computer) any ideas?

Revert to stock and see if it still acts like this?
A friend of mine had the same blinking red led.
Turned out the battery was completely drained.
After charging it for a while it was fine again.

Yup! It was drained, and it wasn't charging when I posted this when I had it plugged into my computer.
I put it on the wall charger and left it set for a few minutes, and then it showed up at 7% so I'm really relieved I didn't brick my phone. I just don't get why it didnt charge last night, I know I plugged it in...

Yeah that's strange behavior. My dad was playing a game on his N7 which was hooked up to his PC when it suddenly died.
Scared the hell out of him, turned out it hadn't been charging through USB for some reason, or maybe not enough.
Weird about last night. Maybe it wasn't plugged in completely. Have you tried the same socket? Maybe it's dead.

The computer charges android devices really slowly. When you're playing a game, it will drain faster than it charges, especially if you charge it by a PC/Mac and not a main power source

Blinking Red light??
Dnt worry this indicates that your phonr is just on the verge of its battery
just keep plugged in in for few minutes
now the light will stop blinking and you will get the battery level icon on your screen
Hope this helps you :angel:

But this never happened to me ealier while using a charger,Today i used just a cable to charge it and i behaved so.Is it because the charge it was getting was less to sustain or do i need to get it checked ?
i have this problem too i evan had it charged for an hour and a half and still no nothing evan started it up on the charger and it still does it i dont know what to do
Is the led still blinking after 1.5 hours on the charger? Maybe try a more powerful charger? Different USB cable?
The USB cable and charger that came with the phone is what I would start with to charge the phone.

Just had the same problem after not charging the phone for 10 months (broke while I was travelling). Just got it working after I ordered and installed a screen replacement from Alibaba. Needed to try 3 different USB Cables.
Maybe just a different USB cable would have solved the problem?
Charging via a computer is the last thing to do. The output is so low.
Hi guys,
I'm having the same problem. My phone has been charging for about twelve hours now and it still won't turn on. I tried using different outlets, but not a different charger since I only have one (original one) and my friends phone did charge with that charger. I also tried pressing the power- and volume button at the same time, but still nothing. Everytime I take my phone out of the charger and plug it in again, the red light starts blinking for a while but then it dies off and nothing happens anymore. Does anyone have anymore tips?
Thanks
Sounds like the battery needs to be replaced or you need a more powerful charger.
i've got this problem except anytime a charging cable is connected, the phone powers on and off continually as if the power button is stuck. tried swapping batteries with a spare n5 i have with a cracked screen and bad IMEI (lousy ebay purchase), made no difference. same thing occurs even with battery disconnected. there's no way to boot into recovery. the red LED blinks when the phone powers off momentarily. tried various cables to charge, multiple locations. any ideas?
Saved me!!
Saved my nexus 5, i love this phone and don't want to lose it even after three years passed way!
thankyou brother you nailed it.

Hey there!
My Nexus 5, after updating it to 4.4.3, is having a issue: the device is charging only when it is turned off. When I turn the phone on, while charging, it will remain charging. But if I connect the charger, when the phone is already turned on, it will not charge.
I have tested 2 different cables, same issue.
Is anyone else having the same problem? How to fix it?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Just for clarification: I'm using Kit Kat 4.4.3, rooted, Xposed.
what are you charging from? ac or pc?
AC!

Another question, are you using the stock wall wart? Some aftermarket chargers don't put out enough amperage. Another possibility is that you've got some rogue processes keeping your phone awake so it's using battery as quickly (or quicker) than it can take in a charge.
I'm using the AC charger that came with my Nexus 5.
Updated to 4.4.4. Problem not solved.
I think it might be a hardware issue. I have the same problem with my pebble. I have tried multiple cables/chargers and it only charges when it's off. When it's on I get the charging notification but it doesn't actually charge
Nothing. The devide is still charging only when it is turned off.
Having the same issue since update 2 weeks ago. Already wiped phone and problem still exist. Start to think it's hardware but tried 2 different charger same issue.
So guys I am almost the same problem since this morning. I went on a 3 day trip to the Netherlands on Friday and charged my phone in the car for the last time on friday. I died on me this morning. While I was on the way back today and my N5 was in it's last percents of battery I noticed it wouldnt charge anymore. I thought fastcharging might have killed my car radio. Now back home I tried to charge it. For some reason the charging while off screen reapeared as soon as it turned off. Whenn I turned it on again it stopped charging. Tried rebooting multiple times. My phone now only charges while being in Fastboot or Recovery mode. Anybody having any ideas what might have caused this an how to fix this? Cleaning the charger didn't help me.

Hi. Also had this problem a few days now. Alot of headscraching is done
N5 won`t charge when on. Tried my N10 charger, but still the same. With my wireless charger it register the phone when off, but cannot charge it at all. I've also done a factory reset, and even changed the battery. Still no solution. Wondering if the charging port is damaged somehow. It doesn't cost much so maybe I`ll order a new and replace it to. I remember draining the battery more than usual right before this issue acurred. I was hiking, and din`t bring my portable charger. Also it could be some kind of water damage. Had the phone in my pocket all the time, it was not raining, but I got pretty sweaty:-9 Never had any issue with my stock Nexus 5 up till now. Don`t think this i a common problem, when this is the only place I've found others with this issue I`ll order the charging port, keep on searching on forums, and take it from there.
Good luck
I'm having the same problem on my Nexus 5 now as well. When on, it won't charge via micro-usb (via original charger or USB-to-PC), nor will it charge wirelessly. When turned completely off, it charges, but at GREATLY GREATLY reduced speed. It seems to be stuck in a loop as it it's just been plugged in. It cycles continuously through the lightning-bolt battery image, followed by the charge percentage graphic. The screen blinks, then it starts again. I suspect that it only charges for a moment or two before each reset. For example, it only charged about 20% over the span of six hours last night.
I've tried four chargers and four USB cables, and of course both wireless and wired charging. It's something with the hardware I suspect.
Anyone have any suggestions? It looks the the factory wipe upthread didn't help...
Charging spare part
I am having same problem too. I'm guessing it's because of water damage. Where did you find the charging part? I'm thinking of ordering one for myself to see if the problem is fixed!

Having the same problem now too. Won't Qi or USB charge from OEM charger and cable while powered on.
Appears to be charging fine while powered off.
Did anyone come up with a resolution?
I posted this in the geforce forums as well with no response so I'm trying here. Original post: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/903373/k1-tablet-screen-turns-on-randomly
I haven't had this tablet for longer than a week now. When it's charging the screen turns on randomly. There will be no notifications or anything on the screen. It keeps happening when it's charging and i have no idea why. I don' t have a case yet so it has woken me up a few times over the night from lighting up my room whenever the screen turns on.
This doesn't seem like normal behavior to me.. has anyone had this happen to them? Should I be concerned and try to get a new one?
Has anyone fixed the problem?
Thanks
Do you have locked bootloader and a custom ROM installed?

Nope, everything is stock..
Then I don't know man...
The same happens to me with every custom ROM in my locked bootloader tablet. With stock it behaves normal, so I concluded that somehow it has to be something related to bootloader or something.
But re-reading you again, it isnt the same thing. In my case, The whole tablet turns on after being off when charging. Not The screen only. If I were you, I would do a factory reset and would see if it does The same thing with no other apps installed.

I have this happen using both the stock kernel and the BitO kx 060 kernel, but only when charging from my laptop usb. Using ampere to monitor battery charging I notice that my laptop's output fluctuates up and down, sometimes down to zero. For me I'm assuming it turns on when it either stops getting a charge, or resumes charging. I do not have this problem using a wall charger, but i am using a 5v 2a charger. Hope this is of some help pointing you in the right direction.

ooohhh.. that's a good idea. Thanks! I'll have to try another power source when I get home. I'll try that and will update the thread with my findings.
Hey, just thought I'd ask if you ever found a solution to this? It's happening to me, too: brand new, entirely unmodified K1, straight from the shop. While charging, the screen keeps turning on and off, which is not only mildly annoying but probably makes the charging take a lot longer than it needs to.
That's actually normal for Android devices. If the screen is off and you plug the charger in, the screen goes on. Same when you unplug. So that you see/know it's indeed charging. However, you can change the screen Sleep time and Daydream under Display.
if i leave my moga controller connected my screen keeps turning on
Happens to me as well, wild guess for me is there isnt a charging animation for the tablet when it is powered off, if i power mine off the second i plug it in to charge it will light up with a black screen 1st then proceed to normal boot, or sometimes there's a battery charging pic then it boots normally
Recently got a Pixel 2 and it sometimes has this problem:
* Battery icon indicates that it is charging, even when it is not plugged into anything.
* When it's doing this, if I plug it in, it will not charge (but still indicates that it is charging)
* If I notice this and restart the phone, it resumes working normally.
Anyone else experience this?
Any ideas on a fix?
My Pixel 2 will get stuck at 100% after being charged overnight, under the battery settings it states that the battery information is not available. So far a reboot will fix the problem, I haven't allowed the phone to stay in the 100% state for long without a reboot. Today I'm going to leave it at 100% to see if the phone corrects the issue eventually during the day...report pending.
same. i noticed it today for the first time today. plugged it in (not the charger that came with the phone, one used for my s7 with a usb-c cord) 20 minutes later noticed it hadn't charged any even though it said it was charging, and the level had actually went down. power cycled it, now it's charging again.
I just had that same problem on my pixel 2. A single reboot didn't help, but a second reboot fixed it. Weird....
Same issue. Plugged into car, says charging, levels dropping, even after reboot. Tried different cables and charger, no difference. Wife just walked in and said her Nexus 5 is doing the same thing! HEY GOOGLE, what did you send out to cause this?
This happened to me today too, right before I was going to update to 8.1. Phone said it was charging all day, even though it wasn't plugged in. A reboot didn't fix it. Then tried Turn Off, and it rebooted and now seems fine.
Having this right now. A few reboots and even shutting the phone down hasn't helped so far. Will run the phone empty to see what happens.

Happens occasionally to me as well. I often disconnect charger from the power rather than pull the charging cable out of the phone first. I wonder if the relatively slow fall in charging voltage when I remove power from the charger makes the problem more likely.
For those who have this problem:
Are you using original charger and cable?
Are you terminating charging by disconnecting power from the charger first, or pulling the cable out the phone whilst power is still on?
Is the phone screen on when you do it?
Anyway, I find a "hold the power key on the phone down for many seconds until it turns off" reboot fixes it until the next time...
1. I was actually using the portable charger that came with my 6P. The Pixel 2 isn't available in the Netherlands as it came with a UK plug.
2. Both methods had the same behaviour. Normally I pull the plug from the socket first before going unplugging it from the phone.
3. 20% of the time the screen is on and the phone unlocked. Most of the times it's just active display.
The phone eventually died despite being plugged in. I started charging again when I used one of the regular chargers (cord not separable). And not it works normally again with the portable charger.

Was this without rebooting the phone? I.e. you fixed the problem just by temporarily plugging in a 'regular' charger?
The phone was dead so I'd consider it a reboot. I left it on the charger to get a full battery again. The problem was gone as I did a check 45 Mon after plugging it in.
Hello,
I recently started having odd problems with my phone where it wouldn't charge without restarting it, would restart by itself and oddly indicate it was charging with no charger plugged in until restarted. I can't be certain but it may have started since the recent update (UK). Yesterday I woke up to find the phone was off, I put it on charge every night so this seemed odd. On turning it back on I found it hadn't charged at all from the 66% it was on the night before. During the course of the day it became apparent that despite the orange LED being on, it wasn't actually charging. Did a factory reset, no difference. Tried a variety of cables and chargers, no difference. I wondered if the USB port was a problem but ADB can see the phone just fine. At the time of writing it has been on charge for several hours, using the same cable and charger I have used every night for several months. The orange LED is blinking and that's it, the buttons do not vibrate. As soon as you remove the cable the LED turns off. It's now a rather shiny paper weight.
Does anybody have any idea what is going on or what else I could try? Otherwise I'll RMA it.
Thanks,
Mark
