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!
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?

Gentlemen, I believe I have managed to brick my beloved Nexus 5. It began rebooting randomly a week or two ago, then several days ago it just got stuck in a bootloop (booting, shutting down, booting, shutting down, etc). I guess having the phone in a dock on my cars dashboard driving around in 97F degree weather with the sun shining in, caused the poor thing to overheat. I can't even get into a stable Recovery mode anymore, it just shuts down after a few seconds and then attempts to reboot. :crying:
I am fairly confident there is no remedy, but I thought I'd throw in my hat here to see if anyone has any pointers. I guess I am hoping for a best case scenario type deal. It is mainly the battery that would take damage from overheating, correct? If so, I might try replacing it.
Try hooking it up to a PC and seeing if u can use PC companion.try and reaserch it Ive seen it before on one of these threads.I'm sorry but I suck using pc s

Yeah, I have the Nexus toolkit. But without my phone even turning on (or staying turned on while I try getting into bootloader), there isn't much the toolkit can do. Not sure where you're trying to point me with this?
Looks like power button problem ...

Yes, thats known problem, you can find more threads about same simptoms as yours here on xda
Hi, I replaced myself the screen (preassembled screen+digitizer+frame). After the replacement everything worked perfectly for like two hours when i rebooted it, from then on it is extremely laggy and stutters from boot animation, and when I press the power button (or when the screen shuts down), the phone itself shut down. In bootloader it doesn't seem to have problems.
I checked every connection inside the device (I've disassembled ad reassembled it several times).. thinking of a software problem, I've flashed marshmallow stock rom frist, and kitkat 4.4.4 then... but it's the same with any factory image.
Maybe I damaged something on the mainboard?
I also made a video to explain the problem:
with a lot of patience I set up a google account and downloaded cpu-z to see if maybe temperature sensor where giving wrong information to the system, but they're fine and everything seems to work propely aside from the stutter.
thanks to anyone who will help me, I'm almost giving up

I thought of that, but the fact that the haptic feedback (like the one you have entering app drawer, or returning home) is perfectly sync without lags made me think the touch was ok... and even twrp recovery was working smoothly (coudn't show in the video since I factory flashed kitkat)

with 6.0 shuts down after boot animation (and reproduces it stuttered like the kitkat one in the video).
Right after the screen replacement, stock marshmallow was working fine for a while
That's very strange indeed, OK so try this, go into developer setting and check disable HW overlays, and check force GPU rendering, this will make the phone use the GPU for UI stuff, possibly fixing ur studdar, let me kno

OK, I've just tried... can't tell any differences.
I was thinking that the main way to solve this could be to investigate on the fact that turning off the display (both with power button or by itself after 30sec), shuts down the entire device. Could this be an hardware failure? (maybe generated by a physical damage that I caused)
thank you BTW

That's very weird, what did u replace, and how did u do the replace, did u do the frame as well, and when u took the batt out did it come out easy it did u fight with it, I've heard cases of this happening, and other issues caused by damaging the battery during a fix
PS, no problem man, I know exactly how u feel lol

I bought a pre-assembled frame-display-touch. The battery came out easily even if I slightly forced it in the bottom. Anyway before replacement the battery was completely discharged... it has been completely discharged for almost two months since I broke the lcd in September. Left the phone disassembled on the desk for two days. After reassemble I plugged in a 2A Samsung charger to fill it up... initially everything was working properly, made a few photos with both cameras to check, a call and some random checks.. still on charge. On the second call I made, the microphone stopped working, so was the third... turned off the device, back on and everything was messed up like it is now.
Well a battery failure could actually make sense...

hey i have exactly the same problem with my nexus 5, i haven't opened it neither changed battery or screen but i'm suffering the same issue since a few days ago. have you managed to find a fix?. in my case it just started to do that suddenly. as in the video is totally unusable, i reinstalled latest stock firmware throught the recovery menu but with no luck, everything is ultra slow now

I didn't fix it eventually... but from my experience in fixing PCs, I believe that it could actually be a power issue related to either the battery or some power circuit.
If you've nothing to lose and some dollars to spend, you could try a new battery and see if it works!
Hello. I am asking for help in solving the problem, namely I recently bought a refurbished XZ Premium which suffers from frequent restarts ONLY when the phone is not used, it is lying on a shelf or in a pocket and suddenly it can vibrate and reset, sometimes it freezes and you need to start it do restart vol + pwr, reset also sometimes occurs during a call. When I use the phone, nothing happens to it, it works properly. It does not matter the battery level and the firmware version uploaded, safe mode, clean installation, I tried on many official versions.

Thank you for your help, I will replace the motherboard soon, because it's probably impossible to repair. I have a donor with problems with sound reproduction, the speakers are not working, I hope it is not due to damage to the motherboard. I will let you know if it will work.
