[Q] Galaxy Nexus Will NOT Turn On, Bricked? - General Questions and Answers

Hello all,
I just recently replaced my USB charging port on my galaxy nexus. The phone would not charge before the replacement, however, the phone would turn on with a fully charged battery. Now, the phone will charge but, will not turn on. I checked to make sure that all of the ribbon cables are connected. Before the replacement I did not flash anything new to the phone.
I am running AOKP the 6-30 version, also franco kernel (up to date) Im wondering if it is a hardware issue or something else, maybe bricked? I have tried many methods including taking out the battery, plugging in the USB charger, putting battery back in and turning on.
Any help would be appreciated.

Phone shuts down as soon as I connect to USB charging cable

Anybody has any idea if it's known issue. My phone just shuts down as soon as I connect USB cable to it. Be it charger or car charger. It shuts down regardless what condition phone is in (i.e. booting, fully booted, at ATT logo screen during boot). It just immediately shuts down as soon as detect USB current.
After 15 or so tries so far it accepted USB charge finally and does not show this symptoms anymore. But this happens couple of times a month to me.
I noticed that USB socket is loose on a phone, that is it can rotate along axis about 15% both ways. Is it normal for Captivate or it's possible loose contacts on motherboard?
I'm really sure the socket isn't supposed to have any give whatsoever.

Did you find a solution to this, I am seeing this now and I have 3 chargers home/car/work and all show same behavior. So if this is socket issue I am assuming it is my phone....
Please let me know if you found any solution...

My phone was replaced but issue still remains. It appears have something to do with battery and battery connector to the phone. Remove and reinsert battery couple of times and issue will go away.
On my Captivate, the USB (mini B) socket is absolutely firm relative to the outer shell of the phone. If that puppy has got any movement, I'd bet a buck or two there's a loose connection at the main board.

A wrong battery can cause this. I bought a battery for Verizon Facinate. Although it is the same exact shape and size, the model # of the battery is slightly different in last two letters. And it will shut down the phone whenever I try to charge it. Switched to a Sprint Epic battery and all works fine. Obviously, Facinate belong to a familiy of Galaxy S i5xx, not i9000.

HELP!!! Charging reboot issue?

Hey Everyone,
I have myself the Nexus S and at one time I could charge the device without it being powered on, obviously for a faster charge.. But as of now the phone boots itself on once the charger is plugged in. Has anyone seen this, or had this issue?
weird, no, i have not seen that issue
which ROM are you running?
i can power off the phone, and charge, and see the WHITE charging battery icon with the white bars
Ok,this is strange. I just pulled the battery and tried a different charger and now the device works as it did previously, which is allowing me to charge without the device being turned on. Is this am issue I should be worried about or just a minor glitch?
I'm not running any custom ROM. The phone is completely STOCK. That's why I was a little puzzled
The chargers I'm using are different though. One is a straight ACDC micro charger,and the other is a charger that uses a USD to connect to a charging module.

[Q] Optimus 3D not charging and freezing

Hi to all!
I have this phone about 4 months now, and the phone sometimes wont charge when I plug it in. Also, sometimes when fully charged, it freezes and I need to pull the battery out and restart it. I could not charge it last night and when I turned the phone off and re-inserted the charger plug it charged normally (apart from phone being off).
I have taken it to the dealership service since it could not connect to the wifi and drained battery really fast after that and they changed the usb socket and reinstalled the software. The phone passed all their tests, and it connects to the wifi flawless now, but this charging issue is really bugging me. I almost overslept one day not knowing that the darn thing has frozen.
The phone has all the stock firmware and the OS is 2.3.5.
Any help appreciated..

It's your cable mate i had the same problem the cable LG gave us is cheap you need to buy a good usb cable. I use my Htc desires cable not only does it fit it is stably connected and doesnt move about in the socket i use the lg plug of course but the htc desire cable... Sorted..
Before i used my htc cable my charging always got stuck and i would have to pull the battery now i don't have to do that.. Also the lg cable damages the usb socket on your phone quickly i suggest get a cable if it does that then have it fixed and never use the LG cable again...
Really?!
That is really good news than!
My wife has Galaxy Ace and I did use her charger several times in the past and I had partial success with it, sometimes it would charge, sometimes not, but I never tried it after servicing the phone.
I will try it, thanks for the reply...

Help! Phone Bricked or hardware error?

Hello all!
I bought the S3 last weekend, 11/4 - flashed AOKP JB Milestone 1 with the kernel that AOKP comes with (Faux, I think?), everything was smooth til today. I had my S3 plugged into my car charger, I was on a call, bluetooth on, etc.. I get out of the car and unplug the phone from its charger and it just shuts off. I'm unable to turn it on, no charging mode, no download mode, no recovery. Absolutely no sign of life. Not sure if this phone is defective or something sporadically happened with the Rom. Any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks!
Also, to update on this. I have a surge protector with usb ports on it. The l.e.d. light on the charger turns on when it is charging any device. However, it does not turn on with the S3, but does turn on with a Droid x2.

[Q] Replaced battery, charger, AND charger port; PHONE STILL WONT CHARGE!

As title states, replaced everything yet phone refuses to charge or connect to a PC 99% of the time.
I have tried ...
Different outlets
Multiple working android chargers and USB cables
Multiple computers and usb ports
Different batteries
2 OEM batteries
Phone stopped charging one random night, plugged into charger, slept, woke up, phone died and never turned on.
I have been charging my battery through my friends old phone then swapping my battery into my own skyrocket, which turns on so I know the phone works.
For the 1% time that it does charge, I have no idea what happens, but I see that it charges and for ~5 minutes. At this point I don't move or touch the phone at all, I just let it lay there. And after ~5 minutes it stops charging again. (I know it starts/stops because of the tiny buzz it makes)
Anyone have any ideas? Also I am not running a stock rom, not sure if that matters but will try to flash a stock rom soon.

First you have to check carefully the battery, does it an original one? Because out there most of the battery for Skyrocket are fake, moreover, battery for our device is the same as Samsung Galaxy S2 HD for korea market. (On our battey, you'll se 4 pins: 3 for battery and 1 for NFC antenna. While the others just have 3 pins)
Flash stock rom using Odin and check again. If it can charge or not
Plug to a computer and check if it charge or not
If all above are failed, possibly the chip which manager charging in your phone is dead and have to replace.
Goodluck
