After doing some extensive research as to why my Nexus 5 was randomly off when at full charge I discovered there were obviously alot of issues going on with this.
After doing all of the suggestions (e.i. Charging for an hour with standard AC, An hour with USB) I finally got the thing to turn one *whew*
Well not so *Whew* after all. The battery indicator in the tp left of the screen is saying the battery charge is empty. The charging level also says %0. As soon as I unplug the charger it turns off due to lack of charge.
Did the factory rest thing and it's still doing the same thing.
After some experimenting I have discovered that while in the boot screen (Vol+/Vol- & Power) it does not have to be plugged in. Interesting.
Every time the phone gets to where you can see the battery level it thinks it has no charge and auto offs itself.
What do I do?
I would first try a different charger. Its possible that you have a bad charger/USB cable. If that doesn't work then I'd send it back and get a warranty replacement phone but more than likely your issue is a bad charger/USB cable and if not that then a bad battery.

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
Hey all, I have a stock tf700t that was working well until the charger cable snapped. Several months passed before the replacement cable arrived. So I put it on to charge overnight, and got both the orange light initially and then the green led to say it was fully charged. But I can't get it to respond to any attempts to turn on. I tried the usual
Pwr held for 30 sec.
Pwr and volume buttons
and stincking a pin in the reset hole
- but nothing happens. no vibration or LCD response?
Reading some forums, I tried to use a PC USB port to trickle charge the device, but interestingly this does not light the LED's.
Any ideas as to what is happening?

Do you remember the charge state before you stored it? Li-ion batteries generally don't like being stored in a totally discharged condition, and if the voltage drops below a critical level, the battery can even be permanently damaged.
Try charging the tablet from a PC USB port (directly - not via the dock) - it's normal that in this case the LED does not light up.
thanks for the advice, I am pretty sure it would have been <5% battery, maybe even lower. I hope the battery is okay, and will try your idea.
The trickle charge via USB takes a long time. Leave it connected for at least 6 hours and make sure your PC doesn't hibernate or sleep.
I recently picked up an unknown condition motog 4g. Won't boot. I figure it had self-discharged into oblivion. Cells came up at 2.16v, but I didn't trust it, got a fresh battery off Amazon. New battery shows no love.
When plugged in, I get no screen but the notification light goes white.
Things I've tried:
Charging for 24H on 2A charger
VOL DOWN + PWR 2min
freezing it
unplugging the screen and letting it charge
holding power for 10+ minutes while off
holding power for 10+ minutes while on charger
So, I've tried everything. Still don't know if it's a corrupted bootloader (possibly?) or if something else is wrong.
Any suggestions?
I've got a friend with the same situation pretty much. We have not frozen it yet, who can tell me how to do that?
He has had it since new, it is bone stock, and nothing will bring the battery above 0%. I'm looking for some last ditch things to try before we pull the back off and unplug the screen to charge, or replace battery.
Any help would be appreciated.
Have you tried charging it on a low amperage charger? I know other variants have had charging issues which were solved by charging on low amp chargers, such as a computer's USB port. Those generally put out about 500mA or less unless they're powered.

Figured I'd update here:
I bought a new battery and put it on a 5W charger for 24 hours. Came back to life.
Hi, I am a novice in phone repairs though I have successfuly replaced the screen and charging ports on a samsung s6 and note 4.
I am requiring some expert advice on this problem, I was given an XZ from my friend with a cracked screen and charging problem, the charging port became temperamental and failing (at least I think it was that) and eventually wouldn't charge at all. The charging port was handled a bit harshly toward the end, for example the charging cable lifted up and down to try to get a charging response.
Anyway I ordered a screen/digitizer and charging port flex for it, and fitted them, following a guide. Before this, the phone had around 2% charge. After the repair, I switched it back on and conncted the charger, the screen was fine, however there was no response from the charger. The phone then ran flat and eventually ran flat enough to not be able to show the "low charge" symbol when the phone is off. Then after plugging and unplugging the cable (via USB in the pc) it would charge for what seemed a second then stop, the red charging notification light was lighting up. The same happened with a wall charger. I then stripped it back down and back together again. This time there was no response if I remember right, then I connected it to the wall charger and left it for 3 hours or so. I went back to it and it had charged up to 15%.
Now i'm at the point where the phone is working, it's on 90% now, but it charges very slowly, around 60-350 mA per hour on Ampere app. So a full charge is around 12+ hours. This is in the wall socket with a fast charger. Additionally, it takes 10 seconds for the phone to recognise the charger after is is plugged in and that is consistent each time I plug it in. The phone now isn't recognised by my PC via USB, and also won't charge that way also, it just doesn't do anything if I plug it in there. Other than that, the phone works and it holds its charge well.
Any ideas? Thank you.

pick up an original sony charging cable - no idea why it makes such a difference, but.........
Hi, thanks for the reply, I bought a sony charger but it's still the same, drawing about 50-300 milliamps from wall charger, not recognised by PC and takes 10 secs exactly for the phone to recognise it's being charged. It's just odd how it stopped charging before the "fix", now the new flex lets it charge slowly. Can a battery problem cause this? It still holds its charge well. Maybe this problem is recognisable by some phone repair experts around here? any ideas?
Thanks
Noticed the phone only draws charge from a 3amp charger, anything less isn't recognized. And the power drawn from a 3amp can be 30-1000ma but averages around 300 ma. Can anybody point me to a hardware forum maybe? I can't find any, i guess it need taking to a phone expert but it's gonna end up costing more than its worth with the stuff i have done already.
Aukey Quickcharge 3.0 is working fine. It is cheap too.
I have just purchased a aukey charger, but my XZ seems to be taking longer to charge than the UH20 charger that came with my XZ. Any suggestions guys?

Have you tried cleaning/replacing the charging port itself? As i see, you replaced only the flex cable.
There's probably extremely weak contact somewhere in the charging hardware i think, because you need 3.0 A charger to get any kind of charging response. Weaker current probably gets lost at that 'weak contact'.
Buying new chargers won't fix that if you ask me
I have exactly same problem with you
I am about to buy a new charger, yet I saw your post
At first I thought it was the cable. Then my cable work normal with other phone. So does my charger, it connect perfectly with other phone (xperia xz premium and xiaomi mi5)
It seems that our phoneis the only one who can'y charge normally.
I am quite depressed, also looking for solution. Mind if you share if you have succedeed? Thanks before

Try plug in and plug out. My phone sometimes charge a normaxl. But need a lot of effort
Solved
Use the the detect usb in the notification keys before connecting the charger,, this will solve the fast recharging issues
Did you solved problem? I have same issue. Changed battery, usb-flex, no luck
Hi,
I have bought an used XZ.
The owner sold me this phone because he need new battery. I have replaced the old one after a week of test. The old battery works only for 6/10h and drain totally during night even if the phone is turned off. The new one have the same problem. I try to solve with an other battery, and nothing same problem. 12h of standby, after is totally drained. The strange thing is that I have the same battery life even when the phone is turned off, but not only this. If the phone is in 0% he charge without problem. If we have any % of battery I need to connect and disconnect the charger from a wall plug many and many times before he start charging. Phone give me the charge icon for a second and after nothing until I disconnect the charger from a wall plug(I have tested different charger and cable). During my investigation I have found that this phone results every time a little bit hot even if turned off. I have try to disconnect all is possibile, but the heat is from CPU! Now I know that this is the cause of fast discharging in all conditions.
Now I need to know if anyone with a "normal" unit feel the phone heat while turned off and while is on wich temperature have. Mine is every time on 34/35° in standby. Let me know,
thanks
i have same problem . sony xperia xz and sony corp is very very Rubbish
Hi Guys,
I found a way to charge my Xperia XZ with the same loop problem.
Try to push upper volume pad together with power button and plug in the charging cable.
Hold the buttons for 3-5 minutes - you will feel vibrating signals like 3 short and 1 long.
so hold it and then simply leave it for a several minutes and it should start to accept the charge.
Alex Kutikhin
Yes - I had this problem...fixed it by holding in POWER UP and OFF button for 120 seconds.
Do not let go...you will feel vibration (1 short, 3 short). Keep holding for 120 seconds.
Device should now be powered down. Plug in charger cable and leave device off until 100% charged.
Still no fix for the original post’s problem? Having the exact issue with my xzs right now.

Old Thread, I know, but I encountered this issue today on an Sony X compact - F5321. Fixed it and want to report back for the next guy.
Same symptoms, noticed first a slow charge, phone was drawing low current and only responding to cable after 10 seconds of plugging in. I than checked for data connection, couldn’t get any. Opened it changed the USB port - BINGO - that fixed the issue, everything working nice.
TLTR: no Solution in Software, it’s a faulty USB-port. change it.
Have a nice day.
