Hello, my friends,
Greetings from a old timer. I am a Nexus 5 user and my OS is 5.1.1
I have a LG Adaptor and I have a LG Cable to charge my phone.
Last night when I was plugging in my phone (I was quite sleepy), I saw (or I think I saw) the following:
- A charging ICON (saying Speed or Fast or something like that) and a 15% number
- On touching that pop up it vanished
Has anyone ever seen that ? I am trying to reproduce that and I am failing.
I have a factory build LMY48B and the Baseband version is M8974A-2.0.50.2.26
Please, can someone shed some light or was I seeing things ?
I just connected my charger cable to charger and the other side to the Nexus 5. Properly, I might add.
Thanks and best wishes

Does it still work/function? If yes, then is this a problem at all?

Hello,
My wife and I both have a Nexus S, which are both almost 2 years old now. She has always been running stock ROMs and only updated when there was an OTA update available. No rooting, no nothing I however tried as much as possible and currently running SlimBean 4.2.2 Build 5 :good:
Since 3 days now, the battery in my wife’s phone isn’t charging anymore. I tried the following:
- Use my charger and an old Nokia charger: doesn’t work
- Put my battery in her phone: doesn’t work
- Put her battery in my phone and charge mine: works like a charm
The last one’s the solution for now: at night I charge one of the batteries in my phone and put it in hers, while at work I charge the other battery from my PC via USB.
Based on my ideas I’d say that something in the USB-port on my wife’s phone might be broken. However, there are 2 phenomena that I find rather strange:
- When her phone says it’s time to connect the charger, I take out the battery and put it in my own phone. I power up and the battery level reads somewhere between 60 and 80 percent
- When I power off her phone and connect the charger, I’d expect to see either the charging symbol or nothing. But none of these: it powers up as soon as I connect the charger
I don’t know about the first issue, but could it be the battery stats might be corrupted? The last issue makes me believe that the USB-port is at least not completely disconnected/broken.
Has anyone got an idea what the issue could be? I wouldn’t want to work on her phone rooting it if it isn’t necessary, but on the other hand she might be better off in various other ways as well
Thanks in advance,
Pieter

Being completely stock and never modified, I'd say it's the usb.. Have you tried the OEM connector for the computer?..
1. I would take it to a shop
2. You could also try cleaning the contacts
3. May do nothing but if you take the battery/sim out and hold the power button for a minute, this is supposed to completely power down the phone, and then reinstall sim/battery and reboot..
4. Use this as an excuse to modify her phone (telling her that you can put it back to stock if she doesn't like it)..
This happens a lot on my phone, .. Be careful with my solution, I hope it works for you..
Basically inside the usb port on the phone, there is a flat pin. On my phone, this pin ends up bending downwards towards the bottom of the phone.. What you could do is get a very thin knife or a swiss army blade and just try and lift the flat pin in order to make it locate in the center of the usb port (hole) .. The issue being the pin doesnt connect with the charger ..
I hope you understood this
PS: Don't snap it !
Hey guys.
Got a big problem. My OnePlus One 64gb doesn't charge anymore. When I connect the original power cable, the led shines up for a very short time and then disappears. The percentage isn't going up. The icon in the statusbar whereas indicates that it would charge.
Currently I'm on 36%. I've powered off the device and plugged it in to the charger. But it seems that it isn't charging in this state too.
In the official OnePlus forums there are several other guys experiencing the same problem, but no solution was found.
Is there any help for me?
A USB connection to the PC seems to be impossible too.
Please help me guys. I need my phone!
Thanks

Need a little bit more information on your phone. Rom, kernel, any mods etc etc.
Have you tried different combinations of cables and plugs??
I would suggest backup all your important files now, so you won't be panicking when you phone has lost all charge.
Then, try a factory reset and see if they works.

Hey All,
i have a nexus 5 running android 5.1.1, which recently i have encountered some battery issues, the battery drained very fast (6-7 hours from 100% to 0%).
but then, it stopped charging the battery, no matter what i changed - nothing worked! (new cables, different chargers and so on).
yesterday i have bought a new battery and replaced the original faulty battery, but nothing is changed, the new battery won't charge.
i tried to charge it when the nexus is on or off, doesn't matter, same result...
i am very frustrated from the situation, and basically can not use the nexus any more..
one more thing, i tried also google suggestion (when the cell is off, to press power+volume buttons, and then scrolling down to shut down and inserting the charger - >didn't work for me).
i tried to upgrade to Marshmallow (6.0.1) but there is not enough battery power to allow it...
when i dial *#*#INFO#*#*, and check the battery properties,
why the temp is always -30 degrees for the two batteries?
Is it a sensor issue?
do you have any suggestion?
Thanks!
anyone?
i will really appreciate your suggestion..
Connect the phone to a Windows machine and look to see if any new devices appear in Device Manager.
Thanks for the reply.
I connected the nexus to my laptop, it was recognized and i could reach the storage, but the battery remained the same, not charging ..
So the nexus 5 appears in Windows explorer? Possible charging port problem?

well, maybe. havn't tried it so far..
have you encountered this issue of wrong temp alert of -30 degrees for other users ?
and replacing the charging port solved it?
I haven't encountered the battery temp issue.
Since the old and new battery behave the same way, there wouldn't be too many culprits which is why I mentioned the USB charging port. Has the ever been dropped? Any way you could test the batteries in another phone?
the problem was resolved!!!
finally, after so many hours trying to make it work, i encountered a thread here in XDA which explains that the sensor is located on the cable connecting the battery to the motherboard.
Apparently it was a bit loose, so i put something above the connection and put the cover tightly.
then, the temp was reasonable again and my nexus was coming back to live!

Same problem

Hey, I have the same same problem , what did you do to fix it? I've been almost a year without using my nexus because it only works when it's plugged. Can you tell me what thread did you read or the solution? Thank you
See my last post....
Anyway, The problem was at the connection port of the battery - when you remove the nexus cover, you will see that the battery is connected by a connector with 9-10 pins to the board. Apparently those pins weren't connected properly and were loose, so I put something from above to make some pressure on the connector, then screw back everything and close the cover. Since then, my nexus is working great!
I hope it will work the same for you...
Okay so I feel very nervous about this because I thought I solved the problem once and for all. Here's the story, my Wiko View Prime didn't want to charge maybe 4 months ago and I changed about 20 different cables and chargers until I finally replaced the whole charging board that I waited 2 months for to arrive from Aliexpress then after 2 months the problem occurs again, I updated the system via the official wiko site and the same problem occurs. On the ampere application it shows a voltage of 4.2 volts until it charges when I put the charger it can be seen that it charges in a second and immediately stops I think the voltage is a problem I'm not sure so I wanted to ask if it can somehow overcome the voltage sensor and how ? I know this was a problem with the Samsung Galaxy s2 but it had a message on it, nothing comes out here on my phone. If someone thinks that the reason for this problem is others, let them write and if they know how to solve the problem. Thanks in advance and I apologize for my English

Oh and the port on the phone is perfect i try to blow it with compressor still same problem
If you're using the default wall charger ( the thing that plugs into the wall ) that came with your phone - what always is recommended - then it sounds like the power nub is going bad, Android devices refuse to charge from "dirty power" sources so get a new power nub.
