i have been getting some random shut downs but only when plugged in to a wall charger. at first i figured it was due to heat while being charged. but the phone could shut down while plugged into the wall at any given time no matter how much charge there is or how long it's been plugged. Last night I plugged it in before bed at 30% and today I woke up at 44% with the phone off. Sometimes it's minutes until it shuts down and sometimes it's hours. It's the same on any Rom/Kernel I tried. Thinking it may be a hardware issue. Any ideas? Thanks.

Happens to me too... I'm on stock though.
And is it me or does charging the phone off seem to be ineffective?

which makes me believe this is strictly hardware. its not really like the software related reboots of the past. too bad i can't get it to go while plugged into pc, otherwise i could check logs to see what was up. let me know if you can recreate like clockwork. thx
Its hardware trust me. I've had in total like 6 g2xs and this is the first I've had with the issue.. I also have another now.. Both have the same rom, baseband, kernel and apps. Yet my new one shuts down on the charger.... Its hardware for sure and a replacement is in route. No point trouble shooting its a bad phone.. Threes many good ones just be patient... Now to wait for replacement...
If your on your 6th G2x, did you have to pay the 20 dollar exchange fee or whatever it's called? It would get pretty expensive after your 3rd or so G2x.

no. Bought first one full price it had no issues but dust, return no fee, then I exchanged again from pixel, no fee. Thats 3. Then I sold it for a sensation. Had bad luck with the sensation so I sold traded it on CL for a G2x and cash. Well that g2x was awesome too. so thats 4. I then dropped that ***** hard and had to exchange for another no fee again because I paid 130 through asurion. Thats 5. that g2x is awesome too. Now on a new line of service I got a free g2x with a online deal, so theres 6. Thats the one Im on now and it sucks donkey doooo.
but ive had enough to know there are good ones with no issues. I knew this one was gonna have issues cause of the ratio of no issues vs hearing issues here. LoL time to hunt for the good one again. LOL then after this I got to get the other g2x replaced again cause it was dropped again, and I cant have that. So Asurion that will be.....
Wow. Asurion must love you! LOL!
Last time I gave T-Mobile support a call, they wanted 20 bucks.
But that's a lot of G2x's my friend. And how much cash did you add on top to get the Sensation?

Oh and only 270 for sensation used upgrade.
This sounds like a defective battery. If your phone was plugged in at 30%, then you slept all night and woke up to a 44% charge with the phone powered down, that means that the battery was not taking any incoming charge for the vast majority of the night, nor does it seem that the battery was powering the phone for the majority of the night. Charging from 30->100% should only take 2.5 hours or so - maybe 3.
It could be that when you plug it in, it heats up - and thus expands. This could cause a loose connection to the battery somewhere (maybe something as simple as the physical contacts for the battery, or could be something more intricate inside the phone).
As much as you don't want to hear it, i'd say you'll probably need to take it to a store or send it in for replacement.

Thats my thought. It's still plugged in but does not charge. Forgot to mention that it requires a battery pull to restart. So possibly the phone is not really off, just in a non responsive idle state. Im going back to stock for now to see if that changes anything. I know they will ask if I got the update so I might as well. Thanks for the info.

Half the time its off, and half in a non responsive idle state. Cause sometimes you can turn the phone on, and sometimes you need a battery pull and the ***** is hhhhhhoooottt.
I doubt theres a loose connection when it expands as the copper connections in the corner are pretty lines up and expanding would only make em touch more you would think.
Not that I am missing questions and answers on this topic. I have seen some here and Android Central.
However I am getting a bit of conflicting answers.
I figured I would ask here and see if I can get maybe 2 answers that agree.
I simply want to know...the Energizer Qi Charging Pad is the best one (by opinion) out there now, until Google puts their orb out ???
With regards to the Energizer, I was told at Best Buy it would not charge with a TPU on. But on AC Forum it said YES, you can leave the case on you have to put it in the right spot.
1. Is that true, you can leave the case on? And finding that "spot", is it a tedious thing or is it fairly easy to lay down?
2. One poster said he would hope that we would not leave the $400 phone charging for many hours. I said, did you mean the Charging pad, or simply plugged into the micro usb, or on a desktop dock.
I don't know his answer. I would assume he just meant the Pad. Would it be bad to leave the phone on the pad, for example, overnight.
While I could hear someone saying that, I would think it would be fine. I think most makers know that overnight is prime time for charging.
3. With regard to my Newtrent external batteries, when full charged, are you supposed to unplug. Or can I leave it plugged in
4. I asked Newtrent if I have my ext. battery plugged in, can I use the phone thru that, if I am for instance working at my desk.
He says he doesn't recomment charging two things at once. I didn't know if he meant anything, like using a a/c to 3 a/c adaptor which wouldn't make sense. Or just the example I am speaking of.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
As far as the charging with a case, mine works just fine. Here's a video I made to show it. Once you know where about to place the phone it's actually a decent area. As you can see I just set it down without tweaking it each time and it works just fine except the 2 times I show where the too low points are.
It charges about 30 percent an hour this way. I haven't left it on over night yet, but when I get another one for my bed room I plan to.

Thanks for the video and letting me see it. As someone said, it is sold out on Amazon. And a friend ordered it for me as a gift from Sears, only to find 4 days later when I called (They did not tell me ) that the order was cancelled. They did not know why. They assumed it was because it was out of stock. (Nice way to communicate with the 3rd party LOL )
Do you know where I can get it. I would get the dual one, but I checked the dimensions, they are pretty big. that is like 12" x 9"
Is the Orb coming out soon?
Lastly, I assume it will be ok to let sit there for hours. How about my ext battery, once that is charged: Can I leave it plugged in?? Can I leave it plugged in while having the micro usb come out to my phone and use the phone the same time. Newtrent guy said he doesn't recommend it I don't know much about it

The one originally ordered from Sears for the single pad was 60
As to your first question, I have the Energizer charger and my phone charges perfectly fine with a TPU case on it. Also, I've had zero problems lining it up. It's not tedious at all. It charges every time, all the time.

The QI protocol turns charging off once the battery is fully charged so I see no problem with leaving it on the charging pad all night.

that is one of the ones I wanted to know. I knew that...I must have had a brain fart and forgot that. Even most of the chargers that come with the phone do right?
So you would get this, it's no pain in the neck, and you would get this instead of a dock
Do you know if by chance the Seidio Innodock would fit. I believe so. I think the one they had on the past 10 phones was the same model LOL
I use the same case and charger. I do not place the phone as high on the charger and it still works. I will also confirm that my charger turns off after the phone is charged. I leave mine on the charger at work.
I found my charger on craigslist. Traded a girl for a Nintendo ds and she paid ME $20! The charger still had the plastic on it.

Can someone confirm the behavior of charging on their QI charger. Does it charge to 100% and stay at 100%, or does it drop a few percentage then charge up again? Mine seems to charge to a max of 97% and stay there, but I have not experimented too much yet.

I decided to use my phone without the case today. I noticed that the phone starts wireless charging almost immediately when I set the phone on the charger without a case. With case it takes a couple seconds usually before it starts. I'll have to do some testing over the next day to see if it actually chargers faster or just initiates the charge quicker and I'll let you guys know.

Something else to consider. With my energizer charger, charging starts immediately when my battery is low, but when it's near full, there's a delay before it starts charging.

Agreed. That is the behavior that I'm seeing as well.
I own an Energizer single charger.
Normal thickness cases will still work. The N4 will charge so there's no issue there.
Just that the N4 does seem to get a toasty charging overnight and my N4 only has a back screen protector on so I just caution to be mindful of that.
Personally, if I had a full case or like a leather/vinyl/thick pouch, I would simply take the N4 out of it for overnight charging just to be on the safe side but then again, I baby my devices so... Lol!

Just received my inexpensive amazon wireless charger today (March 8th), shipped on the 27th, so shipping was pretty quick. Cost $29.98 after shipping.
Like the amazon reviews mention, it does beep, but only when the phone is placed on it and not when it is taken off, it also isn't very loud or annoying either.
It looks great and feels solid, it senses the phone right away even with my case, and seems to charge quite quickly.
Overall it seems to be a great alternative to the official orb, especially for Canadians who can't get it yet.
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00B7TBX36/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
EDIT: Ended up opening it up and disconnecting the speaker, it really wasn't that annoying but I noticed the tone it made was "inconsistent", turns out the ground wire for the speaker was barely hanging on, so i just ripped the speaker off and now it's all good
PROS:
-From about 60% to fully charged took about an hour and 15 min, so it seems to be on par with other wireless chargers (2-3 hrs full charge)
-Doesn't seem to stop charging once it hits 100%, judging by the battery profile it looks like it falls down to 95% then starts charging again over and over
-LED turns red so you know it's done charging
CONS:
-Poor soldering on speaker, but i imagine most people would remove it anyway
-Charging LED is a soft blue kinda like the nexus notification light, but it is somewhat bright at night, but again a modification could fix that too.
Go for it if you don't mind opening it up to fix those 2 issues.
Hm, that's good that the charger senses the phone right away. Keep us updated on how this charger is working out, I'm planning to order one this weekend. Hopefully all is good. I will probably end up opening up the charger and removing/desoldering the speaker.

No problem, also there's 4 screws to open it under the little foam pad "feet" on the bottom of it.
Weak that there's no Prime option.
Does this continue to work after a few days? I picked the small, flat charger from Fasttech, and it does not work very well. It will charge the phone fine initially, but refuses to charge the next time I place the phone on the charger until I power cycle it. Kind of defeats the purpose of not messing with wires if I have to unplug/plug in the charger every time I want to use it.
The board looks similar on this charger, although it is different enough that I don't think they are using the same components. Just wanted to see if you've had any issues with it.

I just got it yesterday so I guess we'll see, I've set the phone down on it many times since it arrived and haven't had an issue yet.
do NOT buy this piece of crap.
I bought one about 1 month ago, so many things are wrong with it.
for most it stopped working after a week.
the surface isnt completely flat and has a very slight arc to it. so the N4 will easily slide off on its own.
you will have to hit a "sweetspot" for it to sense your phone. it's very frustrating to have to look for it.
Annoying sound and more annoying lights, especially at night. they are INCREDIBLY bright.
do yourself a favor and buy google's original.

I don't know what arc you're talking about, the sides curves down slightly around the perimeter about 1 cm in, but the surface is totally flat. I don't see how it could possibly slide off, unless the surface your's sits on isn't level.
And expecting any inductive charger to work without lining up the coils is kind of unrealistic. You can't just causally throw your phone onto the pad and expect a solid connection, it's physics.
Placing the phone somewhat centered on the pad (as I expect most people would) works out fine.
As for the sound and lights...well I already covered that, its an easy fix.
wtf ,it does NOT work with the TCP gel case on, i had to take it off? anyone get it to work with a backing/case on?
before it works, the nex4 screen has to be ON for it to work right? that kind of sucks, no wonder this thing is cheap! 30+ tx bucks from amazon.ca
another thing is its gotta be put on the pad 'centered' you can't just be off center
giving this a 3/10 , don't recammend it, man the beeps are loud!
holy cow, this thing really HEATS up while charging, doesn't HEAT kill your battery? it was 40c the battery temp, in 2hours my charge only went up 30% from around 40% to 70%, im not using this charger, i think it will kill your battery faster with all that heat
I purchased the same charger, but contrary to your post mine will charge to 100% then the led turns red and won't charge again until picked up and put back on the charger. I'm curious if a different kernel or rom can affect this behavior. I'm on cm10.1 latest nightly. I'm in the process of returning it, but like everything else besides not maintaining a charge.

Im currently using the ringke fusion case which is probably the thickest there is, i've also switched to my mercury TPU case and they both work, I also don't need to have the screen on for it to start charging either, maybe the manufacturer made a revised version or something.
On the idea of a revised version. Here is a picture of my charger including the model number. It is T-100. I'm very curious if your charger has a different model number.
I am also thinking about ordering this as it seems very cheap for the price. My one concern is does it keep the phone topped up you said it does but there seem to be conflicting reports on amazon as well.
Led/speaker are no issue as they can be easily fixed however waking up with less than a full charge would be annoying.

Ya mine is also the same T-100 model
maybe i got a defective one
when the screen is OFF, and you place it on the charger pad, the screen turns on automatically right? is that normal for every android phone?
also the blue led light is very dim, and its 'behind' the white plastic casing inside, i can't hardly see it, its all blurred/low lighting, mine is the same pic as above t-100 model

Looks like USA only going by the the States drop down box - no 'other' included.
That being said maybe a few will pop up on eBay with a little bit more of a price increase.

Ymmv, but my experience with this charger and an early (2012 delivery) Nexus 4 is poor.
The phone initially recognizes the charger and begins charging, but soon looses interest and the charging stops.
By contrast, the Orb, which I swapped for this Nokia unit to save space, worked very well.

You can check the revision in the bootloader. But I guess that won't be necessary. The newer version has better compatibility with QI chargers.

Doesn't matter you need to check boot loader. My gf got a revision 10 and ordered this month. Fkn google. She didn't even get the free bumper. They told her to send it back and order again. Fk logic
I have to report back and say that while I don't seem to have a connection problem with this charger, it doesn't seem to give me a full charge. Twice now I've put it on at night, woke up 6-7 hours later and my phone was at 97-98% (still charging). It was on a completely flat surface so I can't image the phone slipped or moved at all during the night causing it to stop charging.
I should have checked my hardware revision before ordering three of these... I'm r11.
I picked one up from the AT&T site. Just over $25 with free shipping. Only have white and yellow left. I'd imagine they will be sold out in a few once this news gets out.

Hi,
Just got one from Media Markt in Germany for 28€.
They had in Blue, Yellow and White.
I took the white one.
My Nexus 4 is on Rev. 11.
The guy at the shop was kind enough to agree to unpack it and hook it up, so we could put the phone onto it and see if it charges.
Well it did.
So now I am at home... it is charging and even pretty fast. Got about 6% in 10-12 minutes, so I guess in about 3 hours I should have a full charge.
The connection seems to be lost every 10 seconds, but it keeps charging.
I'll report further in 3 hours.
Regards.

[EDIT] : Same as Daewond3r here : it stops charging when it reaches 98%. Not a big deal anyways, but still worth mentioning... I might give another charger a try...
So the original battery in my Nexus 5 is swelling at the bottom and has popped my case off, it still works fine and doesn't even get warm but I know it's dangerous so I ordered an OEM replacement off eBay. Yes yes I know eBay is risky but this is the first time I've ever had an issue with any battery or anything off of eBay and when I order batteries off eBay I make sure they're from the US only to lessen the risk.
Anyways I got my replacement battery and put it in but nothing happens. I tried charging overnight, holding the power button 10+ seconds, holding power + volume down 10+ seconds, turning the phone on with the old battery then putting the new battery in as fast as I could (I was out of ideas) but no luck. When the replacement is in I can't get it to turn on, not even the power off-battery charging screen. I told the guy my issues and he sent out a replacement and told me to not worry about returning the old one but... it's the same deal with this replacement. My charger is fine, my USB cord is fine, my houses power outlets are fine, there is nothing I can do on that end to fix things, my phone just seems like it either doesn't see the battery or refuses to accept the battery. I've examined both the replacement batteries and they are identical to my old battery with exception of some numbers, no spelling errors or knock off brand symbols. The biggest difference is on the back my old battery it says Sony but on the two replacements it says LG.
So can anyone give me a suggestion before I ask this guy for a refund and have to deal with returning these batteries?
Pictures are of the two replacements next to each other.
It's just a dud, sellers are usually cool and resend easily because of that. They usually ship about 25 - 40% so once you connect the proper components and hit that power button you should automagically profit.

Looks like I'm going for the refund then... you'd think if you sell batteries you'd keep them taken care of or at least test them before shipping. I can understand one bad one but not two in a row.
Agreed, some sellers just leave stuff in bins until ordered. If your third one doesn't work, I'd check your connections. Obviously your logic board worked before you replaced battery right?

Well, seeing as his old battery works fine, except for it having bulged - I'd say these batteries were stored in harsh conditions or something that rendered them useless...
Your only other resort, sadly, is to order one from a different seller... hopefully you get your issue fixed!

Yeah the phone is fine, I'm typing on it now with my old battery installed back in it. I was just hoping I wasn't doing something right and these batteries are good cause I really shouldn't be using this bulging one but it's hard to live without a phone these days. So it looks like I'm just going to ask for a refund and buy from another seller asap.
So just to give an update to everyone I ordered from another USA seller on eBay and now it's working. I have a feeling it may be a knock off battery though because the battery life is horrible, there's no info printed on the back like my original battery, and every once and awhile taking a picture will make my phone shut off and not turn on without plugging it into a charger. But this will hold me off for now, sadly I may be looking for a newer phone since I already want a bigger screen and newer phones seem to have better battery time (though the Nexus 5 was never known for awesome battery life).
Just an FYI for anyone that reads this while shopping for a battery, do NOT buy from "xcentrikgroup" on eBay. He sells duds and will take weeks to refund your money.
