I always tell people to check the port clean it with a toothpick, Also try diffrent charger or block but dont think those would give symptoms u say.
may be something shorting it out in the port so like said try to clean it first.

If TWRP shows otherwise, try to install another ROM to see if things have changed. If not, It's definitely a hardware problem.

Hello folks,
I have a Nexus S running Stock 4.0.4 and it shows charging on the lockscreen along with the charging battery icon even after hours of being disconnected from the wall charger.
If i check under the about phone tab in settings and check under phone status, it shows discharging.
I tried wiping the battery stats and reverted to official stock ROM again after wiping everything completely from adb.
I tried moving to different versions of Android OS, namely 2.3 and 4.1.1, and it shows the same thing.
Sometimes, when i power off and power on the phone, this goes off. But when i connect th phone to the laptop, the mount SD card immediately comes up, but the phones starts charging only after a couple of seconds. And then it still shows as charging even after removing.
It looks to he hardware issue...any ideas???
clean the micro usb port with a tooth brush that should help some i have a ns that does this, it works and charges fine
I had that happen quite a bit a few months back. I haven't had it happen since switching to CM9 though. Pretty sure its just a visual bug. Reboot makes it go away.
Let me try both the things...let me clean it and comletely wipe the phone and install CM9 just to check if it works better..
One more thing....if i remove the battery and connect it after a couple of minutes. Without me powering it on, the screen wakes up and shows the charging animation even if i haven't connected to any charger.
I think you got a defective USB port..mines was like that too before...the only way is to send it back to samsung

Unless its completely different from what happened to me... its NOT defective! Mine has COMPLETELY stopped doing this behavior since being on CM9...
you shouldnt need to send it in, the phone still charges and discharges the same it maybe is some reporting bug or error or something, more than a few nexus s has had this and still work fine

No man.....havent found a solution yet...the phone charges and discharges properly...it just that it doesnt show it properly..
also i think it has something to do with my micro USB port...as when i start the transfer of files from my laptop to phone, it stops for a sec and starts again..
Hello All...i fixed the issue....i guess i was using different microUSB chargers all the time...
i noticed that the metal slab inside the microUSB slot was very close to the bottom...so i took a needle and pushed it properly towards the top...now the metal slab is exactly in the middle...and the charging crazy stopped immediately...
make sure u do it when the phone is off and the battery removed...
i figured where's the harm in doing this as Note 2 is releasing shortly
jokes apart..please bend it slowly towards the top and the issue is resolved.
Hi mate, try another kernel.

I did that...i went to stock gingerbread...then stock ICS and then to stock JB....ofcourse wiping everything through adb along the way....tried CM9 RC2 too..
the thing is even when the phone is switched off...the screen wakes up immediately and shows the charging animation...when its unplugged...
Battery charging animation even after disconnecting the charger (SOLVED)

Thanks...This tricked work for me too on my S2 this morning....I think I did not had the charger removed properly and the animation went crazy... I thought kernel related problem (I had tried TWRP version of Sammy Apolo 4.14 on freshly flashed ROM) and flashed compatible Philz kernel but did not work...I also did a dirty flash of my ROM but to no success....I switched off the phone but even when switched off, the charging animation came and went and when I tried to reboot the phone, I couldn't...So I even tried removing battery for about 5 minutes and placed it back, it finally booted but with animation still going bang bang.... and I then I went crazy...I have read about the toothbrush cleaning trick but before doing so I looked at the usb port but was not much sure what to do.. I thought it had bent a bit but after I saw your post, I immediately took out a needle and bent it slowly in upward direction and that was done ...However, I forgot to take off my battery before doing so but guys, its always safe to take it out to avoid any problems..... :good:
So the moral, please take care while using your usb port....
Hello,
So I was playing around flashing roms from here last night, and I was able to load up a rom that I liked, and get it configured to my liking. I noticed while doing that the phone started to get really hot. I didn't think anything of it, and left it on the charger and went to bed. This morning I woke up and the phone has a blinking red light. I did some Googling and it said that it was a completely drained battery. So I put it back on the charger and now the phone was able to boot back up, it says charging, but it is just at 0% and it doesn't seem to go anywhere from there (plugged in via computer) any ideas?

Revert to stock and see if it still acts like this?
A friend of mine had the same blinking red led.
Turned out the battery was completely drained.
After charging it for a while it was fine again.

Yup! It was drained, and it wasn't charging when I posted this when I had it plugged into my computer.
I put it on the wall charger and left it set for a few minutes, and then it showed up at 7% so I'm really relieved I didn't brick my phone. I just don't get why it didnt charge last night, I know I plugged it in...

Yeah that's strange behavior. My dad was playing a game on his N7 which was hooked up to his PC when it suddenly died.
Scared the hell out of him, turned out it hadn't been charging through USB for some reason, or maybe not enough.
Weird about last night. Maybe it wasn't plugged in completely. Have you tried the same socket? Maybe it's dead.

The computer charges android devices really slowly. When you're playing a game, it will drain faster than it charges, especially if you charge it by a PC/Mac and not a main power source

Blinking Red light??
Dnt worry this indicates that your phonr is just on the verge of its battery
just keep plugged in in for few minutes
now the light will stop blinking and you will get the battery level icon on your screen
Hope this helps you :angel:

But this never happened to me ealier while using a charger,Today i used just a cable to charge it and i behaved so.Is it because the charge it was getting was less to sustain or do i need to get it checked ?
i have this problem too i evan had it charged for an hour and a half and still no nothing evan started it up on the charger and it still does it i dont know what to do
Is the led still blinking after 1.5 hours on the charger? Maybe try a more powerful charger? Different USB cable?
The USB cable and charger that came with the phone is what I would start with to charge the phone.

Just had the same problem after not charging the phone for 10 months (broke while I was travelling). Just got it working after I ordered and installed a screen replacement from Alibaba. Needed to try 3 different USB Cables.
Maybe just a different USB cable would have solved the problem?
Charging via a computer is the last thing to do. The output is so low.
Hi guys,
I'm having the same problem. My phone has been charging for about twelve hours now and it still won't turn on. I tried using different outlets, but not a different charger since I only have one (original one) and my friends phone did charge with that charger. I also tried pressing the power- and volume button at the same time, but still nothing. Everytime I take my phone out of the charger and plug it in again, the red light starts blinking for a while but then it dies off and nothing happens anymore. Does anyone have anymore tips?
Thanks
Sounds like the battery needs to be replaced or you need a more powerful charger.
i've got this problem except anytime a charging cable is connected, the phone powers on and off continually as if the power button is stuck. tried swapping batteries with a spare n5 i have with a cracked screen and bad IMEI (lousy ebay purchase), made no difference. same thing occurs even with battery disconnected. there's no way to boot into recovery. the red LED blinks when the phone powers off momentarily. tried various cables to charge, multiple locations. any ideas?
Saved me!!
Saved my nexus 5, i love this phone and don't want to lose it even after three years passed way!
thankyou brother you nailed it.

Does your pc detect anything when you plug usb cable ?
Yes, it detects, but then disconnects, can it be a problem in the battery?
Chances are you have received a refurbished device or defective battery.
Try and find another Mi4 user for trial of the battery or let's see you need to contact the vendor soon.

Charge via wall adapter. Leave it for some time.
PS: When your battery reaches 9-10%, it is advisable to charge it back to 100%.

I just got this issue 10min ago. Havn't depleted the battery on the phone for a very long time, my guess is that it hasn't calibrated the battery in a while or something like that. Will keep it in the fast charger during the night and then i'll reply here.
EDIT: Normally the red LED is constantly on when the battery is low and it's in the charger, now it's flashing which makes it look a bit more scary.
EDIT2: Works fine now after a night of charging
Charger could be not pushing enough voltage to charge battery. Try another one to see if it remedies the issue.
I do have the same problem with my Mi4. I wanted to start the update in the Updater app (to Android 6 version of Xiaomi.eu) and suddenly it turned off (at 100% battery). When I connect my phone with my computer it is recognized and all the partitions are mounted. And with all I mean all. There are about 7 partitions mounted (Linux and Windows) and they keep being mounted until I disconnect the phone. I let my Mi4 on the wall charger for 24 hours (2A Samsung one which charges all my other devices without any problems) but I still have the blinking red light after connecting it to the charger. Any other things I can do to get it running again?
EDIT: I can't see the phone in fastboot or adb and when I keep the power button pressed for about 10s it seems to disconnect and instantly reconnect the phone.

I solved this problem on my own. Even though the phone doesn't show up on the fastboot devices list you can use the Mi Flash Tool to flash the fastboot update (http://xiaomiadvices.com/miui-7-flash-fastboot-rom-on-xiaomi-phones-using-mi-flash-tool/). The drivers installed with the Mi Flash Tool for the Windows 10 Mobile Release (http://en.miui.com/thread-189369-1-1.html) recognize all the partitions as one device and show it with a cryptical name in the flash list.
Hi ! I fully charged the phone and after it shuted down. It doesn't starts. PC doesn't see it. When I'm plugin the wire just half way into the phone the red light stays on for a few seconds and than nothing at all. Can anyone help me?
Push power+vol up for quite enough lets say 20 sec
same problem here i kept charging for whole night but phone not getting on.. only red LED comes when kept for charging and not detected in PC also. Can any 1 help on this
I had the same problem ( strangely,it occured after a whole night charging, f... knows what happened)
Tried to change charger. No luck. The phone won't even boot by pushing Vol down+ Power
Solution: I simply connected the phone to a portable external charger, and tadaaaa !!! it was brought back to life !
Hope this helps
Hey Guys,
my OPO is dead atm.
The battery drained to 0 and now I can't do anything with my phone.
I can't charge it, start it, start fastboot etc.
I've already contacted OnePlus and next week they want to make a remote session.
But my phone is dead for 2 weeks now and I don't want to wait till next week (and I dont think, that they can fix the problem).
Do you know if there is any chance to get the phone recognized by the computer?
I have already installed all drivers, adb, many OPO Toolkits and and and..
But when I plug in my phone to the computer, the phone does not get recognized (there is no "Badiim" like when I connect any other device).
And the device manager is empty too.
Before the battery drained, I could connect the phone to the computer anytime and it get recognized instantly

Have you tried connecting it for a while to another low power USB source? I've had a couple of devices die, but the battery just needs slowly replenished to help bring it back to life. I've connected it to a USB port on my TV and just left it for an hour, it seems to trickle enough power to start charging.

Hi All, my wifes s6 (using xtrestolite rom) has stopped taking a charge. Im trying to figure out what the issue is. Unfortunately im travelling for the next month so have limited trouble shooting options.
Background
- wife has been complaining that her phone battery dies quickly. I kind of dimissed her assuming it was in her head. she said it loses 10percent in standby mode in 1hr roughly. Shes been complaining about this for a week.
- yesterday at the airport her battery was at 12% and when we plugged it in to charge it wouldnt take a charge. Bolt icon did not come up and still said "connect charger" on the screen. Normally when connected the red Led comes on, but now it doesnt.
-our normal chsrging method is using and aukey 3port charger as fast charging mode.
Troubleshooting/diagnosis
- i have an s6 as well so i tested all the cables and chargers on my phone and it works. We even had the official samsung charger and cable but same issue.
- after the phone was completely dead, if you plug in the charging cable the charging bolt icon comes on for a few sec, the top left says "kernel is on seandroid enforcing" for a sec and then everything goes blank. Red charging led doesnt come on. So it seems like it detects the cable but wont charge enough to boot up.
- i was able to boot into twrp recovery but where its supposed to have a battery level its completely blank. Originally i was able to do this without any canles but then it wouldnt. My guess is that i orginally had a bit of juice and then it was completely dead.
-after leaving it plugged in for a sec, im able to turn it on where it boots and i can see it says 0% battery. It stays on for 5sec before turning off itself.
- i also tried plugging it into laptop, but laptop does not detect it. The phone does detect the power though and does the same as above but this time bolt charging icon stayes on for 1-2min before going off and seeing the "kernel is on seandroid icon". Once the seanadroid goes away nothing seems to happen. After doing this i was able to turn it on and it showed 1%. I thought this was promising but after trying this a few times ive never been able to get to 1percent again.
- with the brief charge thst i guess its getting, i was able to go i to twrp recovery and do a factory reset. This was with cable plugged in the whole time. Without cable in i dont think it would complete the action.
That about summarizes whats happened.
Ive concluded the following:
- charger and cables are ok and not the issue
- it is not the charging port since the phone does seem to be getting some juice bacause charging icon comes on for 2sec whenever cable is plugged in.
- its not a software/app issue since it wont charge even in recovery mode. Also factory reset was done and no luck.
My best guess is that the battery can only hold a 0-1% charge which is enough to register it being plugged in but not enough to do anything else. But if everything else is ok shouldnt it work when if the cable is just left in. This makes me think theres something else going on.
Any suggestions or theories would be much appreciated trying to decide if i should pay to get battery replaced.
Sorry for the long post. Figured it is best to give all info.
Thanks in advance!
Update June 3:
Hey everyone, just a correction on the above. It looks like it is able to charge in recovery (slowly). I realized that although there is no battery level during recovery, no charging led, and not booting up after being charged for a bit, maybe its just going slowly.
So i went into recovery and left it overnight on the non-fast charging and woke up after 8hrs and it was at 78percent!!!
Im not sure why it didnt go to 100% in 8hrs.
The phone still doesnt charge regularly when plugged in, so still need to fix that.
Do you guys think its a rom issue (only factory reset done before) ? I will see if i can get a rom for flashing.
Update 2:
Reflashed xtrestolite rom but still no luck. It wont charge.
Seems like a dead battery.

Bump.
Went to the phone store and they said its probably not the battery but the ic chip for charging? This will cost 150, but doesnt include the screen if they break it...
Does this make sense since i can charge in recovery.
Thanks. Any direction or input is much appreciated.
Go on the local store and change your battery (if isn't in warranty)
Hi all, just wanted to update the post that the issue is semi-fixed.
I brought it into a repair shop who offered to diagnose the problem for free before paying to replace the battery.
He told me there was nothing wrong with it and not sure what my issue was. Plugs in the charger and lo and behold it was charging. He said he didnt do anytning to it except blow some compressed air on the port.
Im guessing the comporessed air cleaned out a short? So now it charges properly.
The issue remaining is that the pc doesnt detect the phone. It shows as charging on the phone but no conmection. Tried to install the latest samung driver (1.5.4xxx?) but no luck. On occation sometimes it says "usb port has malfunctioned" but other times nothing.
My s6 does actually connect, so definitely my wife's s6 itself and not comp. Im tempted to buy some comlressed air and give it ankther blow, but dont want to risk messing it up again. im pretty happy that it at least charges up.
Hope this helps others that might have similar issue.
