My phone was working fine before I feel asleep a few hours ago. When I woke up my phone was about to die. So I grabbed it and was gonna plug it in but then I nodded back off. When I woke up 25min later it was dead. So I plugged it in. And it turned on.
Figured everything was good to go. Well its been an hour or so now and I noticed it is not saying its charging even tho I have it plugged in. It says the battery is at 0%. So I unplugged it thinking it was just a glitch. But as soon as I unplug it from the charger. It shuts off.
I am currently using multirom to run stock rooted and Omnirom. I've been in Omnirom most of the day, so I tried booting into my stock ROM and I have the same problem. Except at least on stock it shows the charging symbol in the battery. Even tho it still says its not charging and is at 0%.
Not quite sure what the problem is. I charged it earlier this afternoon and it was working fine. I haven't made any system changes today. Only did some theme work using UCCW and zip themer. Other then that tho no changes have been made since the last time it was charging perfectly fine.
Only thing I can think of doing Now booting up into fastboot and flashing stock factory images and starting over fresh, since I've already tried rebooting, tried both ROMs, and tried multiple chargers/outlets, including my wireless charger. All to no avail.
EDIT - forgot to mention I am running the latest Franco Kernel on stock side and the latest version of Faux kernel on Omnirom.

Its charging with the phone off?
if it is,as you said flash to stock!
Its not charging at all. This is what my screen shows. If you look at the top widget it shows the battery as 2/3 full but says 0%

So to confirm 100%... if you turn the phone off for 30 minutes whilst connected to USB power then unplug it, it will not power up at all? If so, sounds like a hardware fault.
Isn't there a common bug where 2nd roms sometimes wont charge at all using multirom?
Have you try using PC usb to charge it? Just to rule out the phone charger unit defective here..

It takes a while on the charger to resurrect a dead phone (or even for it to look like it's being resurrected).

he said multiple chargers multiple outlets.
I'd get rid of the multiROM and see if that fixes it.
I am using multirom + omni, and I noticed when I drain the battery to zero and charge the phone the battery stays at zero, until I shut the phone down and replug the phone then boot it back up, then the battery returns to normal. Not sure if this is what happens to you too, have you tried?
I have xposed partially installed (no root since I'm too busy to get supersu for now) and I multiboot Firefox and beanstalk if that matters

I did not read all the post in detail but the N5 has wireless charging. Do you have Qi charger? Personally that is what I use less wear and tear on your port. Also you said that it showed it was charging but it wasn't not sure what you meant by that.

Hi, go here and have a read, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1137323,
It sounds like a cwm issue you have.
To fix your current issue though you need a battery with some charge in it. There are some ideas out there on how to "jump start" your battery, but i would advise caution using any of the stripped usb cable methods.
Best bet is to get a battery from a friend with a decent charge in it, or put your battery in a friends phone and charge it. Then do the cwm update.
I had the problem, so I updated my CWM and a few days later (now) its dead. LED blinks a few times but thats it.
Any other options ?
Here we go I have the same issue ...
So if all else is working, no error with CWM, what else could be causing the batteries not being charged or takes a veeeeery long time, and still they are not fully charged ?
Battery is not hot, I have rebooted several times, I have tested all kinds of resets, but that does not change anything, still lousy charging.
I have reflashed CoreDroid ROM v2.5 several times, using stock kernel, still no go.
Is the main board malfunctioning, could it be a bad battery, bad cables, what ?
My phone is not getting charged,no matter which charging method I use or which plug I use...
Also when I switch the phone off or remove and reapply the battery and then apply charger ad I m using CM10 so phone automatically starts as charger is connected..but as the phone switches on ,charging doesnt take place

have you change you theme..? coz I think few themes is not supporting the charging icon. BTW if your phone is switched off then the charging icon come..?? also, have you checked in ICS also??
Try booting into cwm and mounting USB storage.... if this mounts then at least we will know that your USB port is fine.... if this doesn't work then your charging port may be damaged and you may have to take your phone to the service center
Proudly supporting Adam for CM team recognition
In CM, LPM (Low Power Mode) doesn't work yet. It means it loads the whole system when you plug in the charger. init cannot distinguish the two modes yet, I'm working on it.
Actually the battery isn't charging at all... Today I tried many times to charge, but only sometimes it charges while most of the time it doesn't charge...
I removed battery and kept it out for 10 mind and again tried to charge but same problem.. Sometimes only it charges..
And @pankaj it's not about theme... I changed and saw it...
And my point being if connecting charger to my switched off device turns it on by detecting the charger, the charging circuitry won't be broken.. So it seems software issue or battery issue..
Also yesterday I turned on purging of assets and kernel memory management on and also enabled zRAM to 18%..would that create such. Issue??

Charging issues on ICS
I am on BB ROM with Ardatdat 4.0 Kernel. For last few I am also facing some strange charging issues:
1. 9 times out of 10, the phone doesnt get charged using the charger.
2. However if gets charged using the USB cable connected to my laptop most of the times. Sometimes that too doesn't work but after couple of retries it starts charging
3. Sometimes even after disconnecting my charger, the icon shows that the phone is being charged.
4. Sometimes after disconnecting the charger/usb, the phone gives the beep which is heard when the charging starts. This happens multiple times and I have to shutdown the phone and remove the battery to stop this from happening.
These are really strange things that are happening to my phone.
I am thinking of flashing stock GB ROM and giving it to the service center. Is there something that I can try before I do that as I am not sure how long my phone will be there at the SSC?

Buddy SSC is the best option.
Same things happened to me till i visited the company owned ssc.
The normal ssc (not the company owned ones) had put a faulty jack which made me and my phone go beserk.
Go to a COMPANY OWNED SSC. Skilled staff, better spares and quick response and delivery.
Not the ones who have taken a dealership sort of thing. They just irritate you.

Hi guys,
Had a very weird issue yesterday with my Rogers S4. I have flashed a bunch of ROMS in the past, but wanted to try the new MEA firmware based ROMS..
Well yesterday i tried Mint Jelly v2.1 (flashed via TWRP) and immediately without rebooting flashed 005 FAUX kernal to avoid boot loops. My battery was about 15% at the time. The flash took, and the phone rebooted into the ROM no issues.
Noticed that when i plugged in the charger to my S4 it was NO LONGER charging. I tried multiple 2.1amp chargers, and cables, including OEM, and it no longer charged. However it charged my NOTE2 with no issues.
This is when i was about to FREAK.. but i recall from my HP Touchpad days that sometimes if the battery dies, you need to do something special to get hte phone to charge back up again.
So what i did, was completely shut down the phone, and plug it back in the charger, and it started to charge again. But immediately booting into Android, it would still no longer charge!!.. So i let it charge up for an hour wiht the power off. Once i booted in again, the phone was able to charge again normally with all my chargers while booted in.
I thought my situation was a freak incident until i noticed another XDA member report the same issue. This is NOT a hardware issue, but something related to software.. So give my advice a shot incase you encounter this yourselves!

Never flash anything or make major changes to your phone with a low battery (below 70%).
I may be the member he was talking about. I had a thread on this. Only difference was my phone wouldn't charge at all. When I plugged it in when it was off it would boot loop the charge screen. It was rooted and I had some bloat frozen, but the issue started after I installed Sugarsync. I had the same configuration for a few days with no problems, and my battery was about 50 percent when I tried to charge.

It's definitely possible and usually will work just fine. There are a couple of reasons to flash on a full battery. If something goes wrong and takes a lot longer than originally anticipated, there is less chance of the battery going dead while things are being fixed. Plus, many ROMs (Kernels actually) enact different power profiles for different stages of charge. If this is the case, flashing might not go as anticipated.

I bricked a S2 like that. Flashed a rom adn the battery drained in the process, causing it not flash properly. phone was dead, no download mode or anything.
I have a 16GB Nexus 5 running stock ROM with Franco Kernel. No crazy overclocking or undervolting going on. I was using my phone throughout the day today without any problems but I left it on my desk and the battery drained to 0%. I tried plugging it in to the charger and then turning it on but it kept booting and then powering off at the home screen even though I had it connected to a working charger (I tried multiple chargers and outlets). After about three more tries after leaving it to charge for about fifteen-twenty minutes or so, still no fix. I let it charge for a half an hour this time but now it wont even boot. I've tried holding down the power + volume buttons but still no luck. This is my first time having this type of problem, any recommendations on what I should do?

I'm sure I have the correct drivers as I used adb commands on my device a few weeks ago and I've connected it to my computer numerous times to transfer files in the past few weeks. I dont think its a bootloop now (It may have been before) because the nexus isn't even powering on anymore. I've had it connected to the charger for the a while now and every five or ten minutes, I've tried powering it on but no luck, it wont even show a glimpse of a boot screen.

I left it unplugged overnight after having it charge for an hour and this morning I tried turning it on and it booted, I went through thecbootloader and tried rebooting through it and it booted up but it powered off again when it got to the home screen. Before it turned off, I glanced at the battery percentage and it still showed 0% despite all the times I had it charging.
So my Nexus 5 sometimes won't charge. For example, I plug it in at 5%, and after an hour, it is still at 5% or lower ,often even at 0%, so when I unplug it, it instantly turns off. Sometimes it charges fine to something like 20%, then it stops and battery slowly starts to discharge. There are days when it's perfect, absolutely no trouble. I should also mention that when it charges normally, the charger plug is warm-hot, when it doesn't charge, it's cold.

It's hardware. Either the cable, the charger, or the phones mini USB port.
Try a different charger and cable for starters.

Its the hardware, maybe the battery or something and its also happening to LG G2 (N5 brother), so LG's faults.
But Google posted oficcially some ways to fix it, you only need to power off the phone and plug it. Wait 30 minutes and then turn it on again, leave it charging and this time probably works.
It doesn't happen to often, but when it does, its really annoying.
I remember having this issue but only with wireless charging. Seems like an issue with the wire.
I had this issue with my Galaxy Note. It was actually a faulty chip on the motherboard that was causing my charging problems... None the less, I would first check your cable and then the micro USB port.
I have 3 chargers and 2 USB cables, tried all the possible combinations, nothing. What should I look for about the USB port?

My 5 year old daughters Galaxy tab 3 is the same. I can tell the plastic part of the mini USB port is snapped. So only the wires are holding it together. It will charge... But only when it's laying on a stable surface, untouched and sometimes I have to wiggle it til it's charging, then leave it alone til it's done.
Does it say it's charging? For me, even if it isn't charging but is plugged in, it says "Charging (AC)".

Yeah, our tab makes the plug in noise over and over til it's good.
But just cause it says it's charging doesn't mean every pin is making proper contact with the charger or device.

dunno yet whats up, it happens sporadically.
Any chance software could cause this? Rolling back to 4.4/4.4.x or resetting factory settings would help?

that could be next step.
if a factory reset doesnt help, then u have a hardware problem. Does the batt info says "healthy" or "good" for the battery?
have u tried using a toothpick to ensure all usb pins are clean of dust?
maybe u can get another battery and change it... if a cell is going bad inside the batt it can do that too

Today it didn't charge, so I decided to restart. When I had just powered off, a fully charged battery icon came on the screen and stayed for about 15 seconds. Then the screen flashes black and started showing the charging battery icon.
Anyways, I am going to flash the phone back to stock when I have time, if that doesn't help then it's going back for repairs.

download CPU-Z as the simplest way to tell
go to the Battery tab and it will tell ya the "Health" of the battery. Mine says "Good"
Another trick is to buy a wireless charger. If this ever happens to me I'm doing that.
This has happened to me months ago and I tried everything. Turned off my phone to charge, tried different cables...nothing worked.
Then I started charging my phone with a blackberry charger and it has been successfully charging my phone ever since. And it charges faster than the original charger. When you plug the charger into the phone, it's very solid, whereas the original charger is somewhat flimsy. Not sure if that may be the case. But that's what I did!
Hope this helped!
