Got an NC for Christmas and after reading all the awesome help on here got it rooted and set up the way I wanted it. So I plug it in night before last and it wont charge. Had to hold it at a certain angle then when I let go it would quit. I call B&N and they were gonna send me a cable. I said no the port is bad and I tried another usb cable and got the same result. So they are sending me another NC should be here tomorrow. I had barely 20% battery when I restored it to stock (which they told me to do before sending it back) or I would have been screwed. Anyone else had his problem? Also she told at first that another USB cable wouldn't work on it?? Anyone else use another cable or phone charger?
Thanks again for all the great info on here!!
All I know is that the mini-usb port on my NC -- where the charging cable plugs in -- is a mess. I have to insert the plug at a sharp angle and wiggle/force it, before it will go all the way into the port. (lame!)
On another note, the black plastic around the larger USB plug at the other end of the cable fell apart completely on the second day I had the NC. That end of the cable is now being held together by electrical tape. (even more lame!)
I'm considering an RMA for the entire unit to try my luck with a new one...
PS: performance wise, once rooted, this thing kicks total ass for $250!
Yeah, once mine is plugged in if I push the cable around it will stop charging.
I wonder if that Tear down gave us a reason for this?
After reading lots of posts over the past months it seems the port/plug is the most often reported problem .. I have two units and one (the first) is just fine, the other had difficulty with plug insertion but once inserted was fine. I tried the plug from #2 on #1 and yup, it was a problem to insert, so perhaps the B&N supplied cable is the problematic part, not the NC itself?
Saw that the EU has/will 'standardize' on the uUSB for charging .. personally don't understand ... it can't make that much difference in design/mfg and the miniUSB is very much more preferable to me .. sturdier it seems ... but it is what it is and I still love my NC!!!!

NC #1 that I got last Thursday had a fault USB port, as in I had a b!tch of a time getting the USB cable inserted, but managed it twice on Thursday for initial charge and a second time to try something sideloaded from Calibre. (Actually was about to return it as soon as I got it home and had trouble with the cable insertion until just as I was about to give up and pack it up, the cable went in...)
The next morning no amount of fiddling would allow me to insert the cable, so I factory reset and went back to the B&N for a horrid cs experience before they finally deigned to replace it. NC #2 the cable inserts MUCH more readily into...
Crossing fingers that nothing else goes wrong with #2. Ended up giving up on a pushed 1.01 update and sideloaded it last night, but first try was a phail, 2nd try went as expected. They need a user fw check and initiate fw update app as their OTA doesn't seem to be very robust or even work AFAICT.

Sounds like the charging port is a piece of crap. Still love the NC but I dread everytime I have to plug it in to charge it. Also when I plug it in to the computer or the wall the screen goes crazy and is virtually unusable. Read a few cases on here but no real explanation as to why.
As far as the update. Had to sideload it on both of the NC's i have had. Never would push it to it. Strange.
My first NC had a bad charging port. I returned it immediately. The second is fine.

Does your screen act up when plugged in? Mine does either plugged in the wall or the computer. Just curious how many people have this issue??
I haven't returned mine. The cable that comes with it is difficult to insert, but if I fiddle with it, it goes in. I have a generic cable that I use to connect it to my PC and it charges it, too. It may be slower and doesn't indicate that it is charging, but if I leave it plugged in all night, it is fully charged in the morning.

You do realize the NC (and most phones) uses MicroUSB, right? And actually MicroUSB is rated for more insertions and is sturdier.
The reason the NC's cable is a PITA is because it's not a standard MicroUSB, it has extra pins on each side to deliver the 1.9A of current that the NC charges at.

Great info. What I was wondering about. One question....will it hurt the NC port to use a standard micro usb cable to charge or connect to the computer?? I did on my first one and thought that may have been the reason it went bad.

I would not think so, in fact if that were the case I'd hope B&N would have had the jack not fit normal MicroUSB cables, but who knows.
Also B&N knows users aren't going to unplug the cable from their charger and plug it into their computer.. At least a reasonable number of users won't do this, although I might be the exception having a MiniUSB and MicroUSB dangling out from under my monitor for plugging in stuff
I've plugged mine into my computer numerous times, no problems so far. It does charge from any USB source, albeit slow.
On the new one. No.

Yep. #2 has that problem while #1 did not. I notice it on #2 as soon as I had gotten home and had it charging and was trying to do the setup/registration... It was an exercise in frustration...
I'm going to be letting #2 discharge today, then do a full charge and carefully track how much time I get off the charge since I've read a battery runtime thread on the B&N forums. (Very low backlight & WiFi off.) Might need to return #2 for battery problems as it seems very short to me although I have not been keeping careful track of how long I've been running between charges...

It is very frustrating! Guess will just have to quit using while charging. About the battery, are these like the new phones where you can just charge them each night? I do this on my Droid X just wondering if it would hurt these batteries?

I have this problem. I believe this is caused by the AC adapter. I went to my local B&N and hooked up my nook to their charger and had no problems. I called B&N support and explained the problem to them. They said they would send me a new AC adapter which should have arrived yesterday. It hasn't arrived yet but I think that should fix the problem.
I also have a problem with having to insert the micro usb in at a funny angle, but once in it charges.

Think I will call them as well. Just to calm my OCD.
Yeah I have insert my USB at an angle as well. Once there though it is fine.
Would like to know about the battery though as I stated in a post above.
My sister bought one on Monday with a bad port. She took it back and got a new one.
BTW - My sister so liked my rooted Nook she went and bought one. She came straight to my house to have me root and install apps.
Looks like my USB port failed like others have reported. Tried different cables and even my girls sgs2 charger nothing. I know mine works because it charges her phone ..
Tried rebooting and pulling battery but doesn't show its taking a charge? Wtf...
Any suggestions? What do u do? I bought it used and I'm in the us....

Try this?

And buy an extra battery so that you have one charged while the other is in the phone.
How about transferring files from computer to phone and vice versa with the usb cable? Does that work?
Hate to say it, but this is hardware fault. I've had the same issue. It is weakness of the USB connector plate. Mine was quickly replaced.
You can try to push carefully the plugged cable and connector down - in direction of the battery cover. It helped me to charge the device a few times in order to flash back stock ROM and claim warranty repair.

Good luck !
Mainly i was asking since I'm in the USA and bought my note used. If it fails (and i know its hardware) what's my nest route for getting it fixed?
I was able to get it to charge by pulling spen out and it showed charging icon. Put pen back in and it charged over night???
Really weird?

Might sound wierd but i had the same issue after downgradibg from ics. I know how this soubds stupid but a combination of downgrading, flashing custom 4.2 kernal, and restoring titanium backup. 2 days i ciuldnt charge my phone with 10+ chargers i have.
After formatting my sd, flashing full wipe and starting fresh everything went back to normal. I couldnt tell you what happen.
I was getting dock mode, vlingo and charging on/off flashing across my screen when plugging in charger.
If its harware and you cant send in for warranty. I would suggest opening the phone and taking off the speaker part. Youll be able to see if the charging port is loose or any dirt etc is around. The charging port is $5 on ebay and i think requires soldering.

This is what you do. take the battery out and then take a plastic edge like credit card type edge or even a plastic screw driver or maybe a real metal small tiny screwdriver and push the USB pin strip inside the usb port inside the phone. Not down or up but push is straight inside without bending anything. meaning: apply enough force but don't try to destroy the usb post inside the phone. This will most likely solve your problem. now take a look at the cover of the phone you have bought. make sure you cut the opening of the usb post on the plastic cover so that it allows the micro usb cable to connect without any hindrance or difficulty. I think my phone cover had a small hole in the flexible after-market cover I had bought. I didn't allow me to fit in the micro usb cable to connect easily. I had to push it in, in a slight angle. maybe this is what loosened the usb port pins inside the phone.
good luck. if all fails, buy the usb port for your phone on ebay. type in samsung galaxy note flex usb port and you will see listings. It should take you 10 mins to change the port inside the phone.
Hi every1. I have got a wierd fault. I cant charge my phone but can charge external battery charger with usb lead only via laptop...... Anybody got any ideas as to fixing this...??? I have 2 batteries and have to swap and charge them every day.
Thanx.
I Unplugged and ran my XT1053 all day as usual. Went to plug it in for the night and found that the ground pin was folded over.
I immediately started trying to backup photos to google, but the phone died not long thereafter. I did a minimal teardown and the USB port on these appears to be beyond my soldering skills.
What I would Like to do: charge the phone from another point on the board that doesn't require removing the MOBO from the frame. I'm curious about the connection for the battery. Does anyone have details on the pinout for the battery connector? I don't intend to try and score a full, unregulated charge from this, but enough to try and maybe do a backup before I send it to moto for repair. Even then, i'm not sure it's worth the $100ish fee they charge for a phone this old.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It hit me that I was over thinking this. Sorry for the Thread. Laying the phone face down, charging port nearest you, the farthest left battery ribbon contact is Positive, the farthest right is negative. After a quick check with a DVOM and inserting some needles for alligator clips to connect to, I'm charging as I type.
1) Can't charge while it is in normal mode.
2) Can't charge with USB C to C
3) Can only charge using USB A to C, while the phone is turned off. It still splashes the logo and vibrates repeatedly.
The port is not visible to any laptop, so adb and fastboot seem out of the question.
The stock recovery on this device has "apply update from SD card", so I need to figure out how an update.zip should look like.
Razer have a bunch of older stock ROMs on their site.
Can I just take the latest, rename it update.zip, put it on a micro SD and use the stock recovery to fix things?
Just saw the tear down. It's worse than my N10+ port PCB to replace.
However if the battery is getting near its lifespan maybe now is the time as the battery needs to come out anyway to replace the port PCB.
The port PCB price is probably low.

The other thing I just found is that when I use "apply update from ADB" it used to complain about init.usb.rc, init.usb.configfs.rc. I looked at both files. 0B length with 1969 date on them. What?
There must be some way to flash a recovery from the sd card instead of using the USB port.
The thing is the battery held the whole day after a night charge yesterday, so probably not the battery. I have a feeling some apps I used to "improve" the battery and "fix" the system deleted some bits.

If you have a bad usb port PCB I would replace it now.
They can cause a lot of mischief and in other services that you never expect it to.
The battery is cheap so it's easiest to replace it at the same time as you need to pull it anyway.
200 or more full charge cycles, replace.
One more thing. I bought a wireless charger to see if it is 100% the port, and the wireless charger has not made anything easier. It seems not capable of getting any charge in. So at the moment I have only one to charge it, turn it off and use USB A to USB C cable.

Probably a defective charge port PCB... you can try a factory reset or reflashing the stock firmware if really want to test it.
Check for any signs of battery (rear panel or display bulging) swelling; replace battery asap if present! Batteries can fail at any time.

I have now done the factory reset, didn't help. Nothing is bulging. I would like to flash a fresh factory ROM, but I have no access to the port. So, no fastboot and no adb. I can't even install proper drivers in Win10 PRO since the laptop does not recognize the phone, at all.
I am searching now for any solutions with the sd card. People used to do that, updates with *.zip on an sd.
Since it is out of warranty anyway now, I have finally unlocked the bootloader.
I am trying to find out if the ROMs Razer provide on their site are signed or not.

I don't know if you have had a chance to see the USB port assembly on Ebay? Some prices are close to $120. Add to that labor costs (unless you think I should do the deed myself) or costs for tools and fresh adhesive for the plastic that covers speakers, etc... and it is going cost me more than I paid for it new.

Ok, thank you for finding this, but it looks like the ribon connector wire only. The PCB besides the port also has the microphone, I think. It appears to be sold as a unit. If the problem is the wire, then sure this would be the part.
In any case, I have managed to get the wireless charger to charge. Depending on how fast the charge will be lost today will tell say something about the battery.

Have you played with any OS shortcut apps on it?
The Android Setup apk will get screwed up if you access it after the original setup.
Specifically it will alter the port behavior when you connect with it. Very irritating, took me days to finally track it down on my 10+
If you clear it's data in settings it may leave the null mark that's screwing it up. Some 3rd party apps can completely clear that null mark.
Otherwise factory reset.

This is a hardware issue, nothing any kind of reset can fix or app clearing. Even if you have the device entirely powered off, plug it in on anything 2Amp or higher, it'll loop

That's not how the issue I saw behaved; only happened with the device powered on and it didn't boot loop. Just an annoying pop up message.
If it has a port PCB, try replacing that. If it's just a charge port with no components on it... it's likely either corrupted firmware (reflash) or a mobo failure.
A loose connection or bad contact is also possible.
That's my guess...
Need advice from PPC-6700 folks on VZW XV6700. its currently wont take charge via the usb on bottom. i purchased new battery and most i get is phone turns on for few seconds and shuts off after it hit home page. and the light does not turn red when plugged in. it was working fine up until last week.
Maybe a bad usb port pcb. Could be a failed mobo.
Meh, bold type not needed...
Thanks for quick response. Im relatively new to diy with phones. is replacing the usb on this device something id be able to do myself? without possibly causing more damage.
Look at a tear down vid. It may not be the port pcb. You sure the battery is good and connected properly ie no bent connector pins?
No loose ribbon cable connectors?
historically that battery was never secure based off the design itslef. i may have bought dud battery... id need one more to test that theory. i have 8 different cords ive used and nada. its the old half octogon looking ones. they aren't prongs like the ones now.
I can open it up and send pic. Maybe you will see something I’m not..
You can see more than me. The port looks ok.
Finding out what common issues that device has may be useful.
For that device I'm not going to be much help other than the very basics.
Can you access the boot menu?
Use a known good power cable and charger; make sure they are good. Cables fail erratically and unpredictably.
Power it completely down and try letting it charge overnight.
ive been trying to sneak in but it shuts down if i try anything. plus i cant find one tear down video.. looks like i may be creating the first. ill sleep on it instead of jumping in half cocked.. ill give you update soon. thanks for your time.
tbh! i was gonna attempt to splice open old usb cord and bypass port using the wires directly to prongs? what you think

Get a new cable preferably OEM.
You start splicing and get it wrong or if the cable is bad at a different point... you're trying to troubleshoot it, not start new trouble
Sounded better in my head lol. but the first cord that stopped working wa replaced and did great till now. ive rounded up 4 others from storage. non seem to catch. im trying not to order a 2nd new battery and cord. even plugged into pc or laptop it doesnt recognize anything.
