[Q] Charging issues - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Something is wrong with my Nexus One.
There is no way it will charge if the phone is left on. It will only charge if:
-I turn the phone off.
-If I have left the charger plugged in then I must remove it and plug it back in. If I turn the phone off and plug it in to the charger that was already plugged in then it will not charged. The charger must be removed from the wall and then re-plugged back in.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Have you tried a different charger? How about plugging it into your computer?

When it started with my first charger I went and bought another. Same thing.

Milestone Not Charging!

I had Recently received my desktop pc from the repair shop and i plugged it in and wanted to transfer some files..
When i did so my phone's display went off!
I immediately unplugged my phone from the computer and it appeared to be working fine. Afterwards i plugged my phone into the wall charger but there was no light and it did not charge! But once i switched off the phone with the charger plugged in the light next to the port turned on! But it did not charge! I kept it like this for an hour or so but it did not charge! But if i unplug it and put it back in when it is off... It switches on but does not charge! Right now the battery is completely drained and is not accepting any charge..
I believe this is because of some current overload in the front ports of the desktop. I tried to plug in my PSP to it through the same ports and it too shut down but is still functioning...
I am running Ultimate ICS 1.0
If you dare to you could try supplying the voltage directly to the battery contacts.
Grab an old USB Cable - get rid of the plug that doesn't fit in your charger and stuff the red (+) and black (-) wire in between the battery and the connector.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Captivate is refusing to recharge after a certain period of time

My captivate is starting to refuse to recharge after aound 24hrs or more without being plugged in. If I power off, plug the charger in, then turn it on everything is back to normal. I have tried the Nexus 7 charger, OEM charger and usb computer charging and it refuses to charge if I dont plug it in again within 24 hours or so. Doesn't matter if its still almost full or almost empty. I'm not sure why this happens-tried to google for a solution but couldn't find it.
Im running CM10-M2 if that makes a difference...

phone is dead and wont charge...

For some reason after a couple days of using the iphone wall plug to charge my phone, my phone will no longer charge any more.
When charging with the iphone wall plug it would take forever to charge and im wondering if this may have damaged the battery.
a couple of nights ago when i had my phone on the iphone charger over night I woke up to my phone still being on 20%, the same as when i plugged it in.
since then the battery has been acting very weird and i can't even get it to charge over 20%
right now the orange light does not even blink when i plug in my phone and i have not been able to turn it on since yesterday morning
i have the phone under warranty but i have viper rom running on my phone\\\\How can I get my phone back under warranty if it wont turn on?
Dont have a PC, just my macbook

I don't get it correctly.. did you also try some different connection cables? And with iPhone charger what do you exactly mean... can you send a photo?
If you send it in they'll most likely throw it away and give you a new phone if they are not able to turn it on. Replacing the battery costs way too much for them. But this information describes just a probability.. and that's useless..
He used the wall plug that came with his iPhone. Its also rated at 5V 1000mA output.
It should work just fine.
What i would reccomend is using a different data cable and wall plug. If you dont have one try to borrow one or go into a store.
Its possible that the data cable and / or the wall plug your using is bad.
Those are easy to rule out. If you do get different cable and wall plug and still have a problem then you have ruled out those and its your phone.
Till you do this it is a phone, cable, or wall plug issue.

[Q] HTC One Will Not Charge

My HTC One had a full discharge a couple days ago.When I got home to plug it in, it showed a blinking red LED and the battery charging animation, but didn't charge at all over a full day. I tried rebooting while still plugged in to the wall charger, which took me to the OS. From the OS I could do anything -- text,call, use Chrome, etc -- but the battery symbol had an exclamation point and the LED was still blinking red. As soon as I took it off the charger, it turned off.
I have tried Power + Volume Down, Power + Volume Up + Volume Down, and the bright light methods.
I was able to restore the phone to a previous backup from TWRP while plugged in, but the problem continues.
Any suggestions?

Try connecting the phone to your computer's USB port. If it charges there, then your charger is bad. You can check to see if is charging by going to Settings -> Power on the phone. If you are using the cable from your charger to connect to the computer and it isn't charging then try another cable. It that works, it may just be the cable that is bad and the rest of the charger is OK.

I have tried multiple cables, including the HTC stock cable and charger. When I plugged the phone into my computer, it did not show the blinking red LED and did not power up. The phone was basically unresponsive. I assume this is from lower amperage from the laptop's USB ports, but could be wrong. The laptop was also plugged into its charger at the time.

The battery is severely discharged. Since, it will not charge via the charger or the computer it looks to be a phone hardware issue. You probably need to take it back to your dealer for servicing. Before you do that, give the connection to the laptop one more go except leave it on the for about an hour or two undisturbed. When batteries are severely discharged, it takes a while for it to recharge enough to give any indication of life.
I ended up sending the phone to HTC. I had modified the kernel and OS, but figured it was worth a shot since the phone was dead and it was still under warranty.
They told me it was out of warranty due to liquid damage. I have no idea how it may have been liquid damaged, but oh well. I wasn't going to pay the $200 to replace the motherboard so I asked them to send the phone back to me.
I received the phone last week and plugged it in. I wanted to make sure I could repeat the symptoms and that HTC hadn't further messed up the phone before I took it to a local repair shop. But what happened when I plugged it in? It came to life and began charging as normal. Either a generous HTC tech fixed my phone for free or the phone needed some interior jostling to get circuits back to normal.
Whatever the situation, my phone has been good as new with all the data just as I left it. For a full week, I've had no problems charging.

[Q] USB Not Working..fried?

So I got home today and plugged in my phone to my wall charger and noticed no charging light or no indication on the screen the phone was charging. I tried plugging it into my computer and got the same thing, no response from it. I tried it in my car charger and the same thing. Now I know it was working earlier today because it had it plugged into my car charger and it was charging.
I did smell like a burnt smell after I pulled the usb cable out from the phone. Could it usb connector be fried? Anyone else have this problem?
I'm not sure if AT&T will cover it. Now I can't get it back to stock because I don't have the files on my phone and soon I'll have no battery left.
***Getting new phone from insurance. Please delete***
