Charging delay issue - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having a very strange problem. When I plug any USB charger into my devices micro usb, it immediately connect (I use lightflow and get a light indicator as soon as I plug it in). However, it will take about 5 extra seconds for the device to actually begin charging. (indicated by the lightening bolt in the battery icon). Anyone know why this is or how to fix? I'm hoping it's not a hardware issue with my device.
This is also causing any PC to not recognize the device (regardless of ADB, drivers, USB debug, MTP, etc.).
Thanks

Have you checked with different USB cable?

I do not think the two behaviors are linked. As I posted on your other thread, mine has the same delay when plugging in the charger. However, I have no problems with PC recognizing device. Explorer can see my device's SDcard. And ADB works flawlessly.

any fix on this? Mine has been doing it for a month or so now. Also my battery has went to **** as well. Also - did you buy yours from qualitycellz?

did it work b4? I'm sure there is active synch (xp) or wmdc (vista/7) installed?
did you try another usb port (if possible also on another pc)? don't use hubs...
do you have a firewall that's interfering?
whats your config in start - settings - connections - usb to pc
is "Enable faster data synchronization" enabled? disable it
is start - settings - system - power - battery -> "When phone is on, don't charge the battery when connected to a PC." activated? deactivate it

just did a little reg search
check these on your device
\HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\Battery\EnableUSBCharging (here it's on 1)
\HKLM\Software\OEM\USBToPC\SncMode (here it's on 2=>disk drive, 0 for active sync)
\HKLM\Software\OEM\USBToPC\EnableAdvancedChecked (here it's on 1)
\HKLM\Software\OEM\USBToPC\DisablePopUpUI (here on 0)
and connect your device to PC via USB and then soft reset x1, sometimes that works
I set it, but still same. I have pictures of my USB on board, disassembly. No oxidation.

yep, now it's accessible
but for me it looks good, but I'm no technician...
For me too, so it must be software problem, my guess bootloader or something like that.
Please clarify
You're saying that:
1. You can sync just fine.
2. You can not charge from your computer usb port.
3. You can still charge fine using the wall outlet/AC charger. (otherwise, how can you try many different rom if you're out of battery power)
4. What you want is to charge your phone and sync at the same time.
Am i correct? Please correct where i'm wrong.
My answers would be:
a. Modify your current active power plan, disable selective usb power down.
b. Make sure your usb port are USB version 2.0. Really old pc often have mixed usb1 and usb2 port, better read the manual.
c. Disable USB pop up selection on phone setting, make sure active sync selected. Also make sure to allow charging from usb in power setting.
d. Some mainboard are picky with certain usb device, if you or your friend have Powered usb hub, try that too.
Now, here's my advice.
Forget about charging from pc/laptop. When power saving kick in, vista/seven will power down that port. no more charging.
When Active sync kick in, charging stop, recharging again. If you're using any BT/Wifi/2g-3g/heavy workload, it's very likely that usb port won't be able to provide all the power x1 need. so what happend is while it's charging, somewhere in between it's actually charge-discharge cycle. That will kill your battery fast. Do search old posts from wm2003 age to understand better.
No, I am saying that:
I can not sync via USB.
I can not charge from PC.
I can not charge from wall outlet/AC charger. I have external USB charger and two batteries
Yes, I want sync my phone and charge (PC or wall outlet/AC). Are we clear now?
So it looks my USB on X1 is dead, but motherboard looks fine, and X1 shows me options after plug USB from PC, but its not working anyway. And in bootloader X1 detect USB too, but its all.
2 batteries and external battery charger. That explain my confusion.
One last thing, what method of flashing you use? Sd card method or romupdate/pc method?
Because, from my understanding if you can enter bootloader through pc utility, that means the data communication are fine. so usb port should be fine.
I'll try mine on win7 and see what i can do.
had my eyes on that rom too. i guess i should try that rom. i'll tell you asap. oh, since i'm on dial up, guess asap mean a few days.
I use SD card method. Let me explain the bootloader thing. When I go to bootloader, it shows tri color screen and it shows me on top some text (hardspl and other things..) and at bottom, it shows Serial text. If I plug USB into Xperia, it change from Serial to USB, Win 7 trying install drivers, but it fails. Its all. I try different roms, 6.5, 6.1 etc...
Ok, here's what i got so far.
Sync issues: 5 usb cable each from SE, nokia, shielded regular cable, cheap external hdd usb short cable, long slightly damage usb cable.
a. All cable show error or not recognized if connected through front panel pc case usb port. However phone display usb selection and of course none would work.
b. Connecting through mainboard rear usb port would work, and device detection and driver installation completed successfully (if you enable driver update auto download in device driver policy).
c. After driver installed properly, all cable work properly no matter which usb port (front, rear, hub) except wmdc (because i don't have it yet)
d. Wmdc version 6.1 from microsoft download center did'nt worked or installed correctly with no warning or whatever (no shortcut created, no entry in cp), even when that build worked on vista.
e. Wmdc that work ok must be downloaded from windows update optional tab. 2 update, 1 plain wmdc and 1 driver update for wmdc showing same d/l size.
f. after 2 hours, wmdc installed fine, but the other failed. No luck on retry. wmdc can detect the phone IF enable faster data sync not checked. However i don't have outlook so can't test sync result.
All cable worked after all that above.
g. I'm betting that in order to enable faster data sync required the driver update for wmdc.
Charge issues: Same cables, 1 SE Usb charger and car charger, 2 motorola.
a. All charger work properly.
b. Usb charging on front panel case show charging icon, however in about 30 minutes battery meter drop more than 10%, voltage dropped from 3.8v to 3.6+v.
c. Mainboard rear usb port can charge, but power output might a bit to low (around 250mAh left for the batt). With active 3g or wifi, not good.
Shall i continue the next step?
i think it's better to check wmdc and try another charger first.
I dont understand...I cant do anything with my USB on X1-no charge, no PC connection, nothing.
i think it's better to check wmdc and try another charger first.
>>I tried many chargers and many cabels, many computers, nothing.
battery pin
ok, the last thing i can think of is to check if there's power going or not.
do you have voltmeter (& know how to use)?
Do it at your own RISK..
a. remove bat. cover & battery.
b. notice there's 5 pin battery connector on phone,
like (+) TT T TT (-).
c. plug the charger on phone (without battery), using voltmeter get reading from the pin that i marked from L-R side (don't short circuit them).
like this .TT T TT. (don't do it like this T.T T T.T)
d. from what i've learn from batteries so far, the 2 (+) pin output 2 different voltage when connected to a single (-) pin. the other (-) pin either not used or probably for monitoring/controlling ic. i have no idea what the center for.
e. my reading from point c: 3.3v. no need to try the others. you don't want to kill your phone.
FYI, on full battery .TT T TT. = 3.3v, TT. T TT. 4.2v
if you didn't get proper reading, i believed it need proper service/repair job.
Sorry i couldn't be more helpfull. Best of luck to you..
dude, it just hit me. maybe we're thinking too much. most of usb problem i ever seen was worn out or bent pin inside the connector. have you look inside?
yeah, there is power going through USB, i checked 2 hours before...but i am stupid and i did stupid thing now..i flash via sd card stock spl, and now i cant boot into system, it always shows tri color screen, beacouse rom is not stock...

USB port issues

I appear to be having wired issues related to the USB port as has been previously reported on the Galaxy S2.
When not plugged in to anything, it constantly says it is charging. It will not let me select between USB debugging mode as it says the cable is connected.
Despite it's belief that it is charging, when I actually plug it in to the mains to charge, it doesnt charge!!
If I power off the device, it shuts down correctly, however it will constantly switch between the grey battery icon, then a almost full green one, then off. It then wont allow me to turn on the device. Ive tried plugging it in to the mains (but I guess that as it wont charge this way, this is why it wont let me turn it on this way either) the only way I can boot it up is holding vol up, middle button and power together for 10 seconds or so. It then goes to CWM recover where I can reboot the device
If I plug in a jig, that allows me to connect a USB flash drive, it all seems to work OK. it no longer says it's charging, and i'm able to mount the drive.
The only way I can actually make it charge, is by plugging in to a PC.
Im very careful with my USB connectors, and I can only think that slight dampness may have entered as the phone has been with me in the bathroom during showers.
I dont want to send my phone in for repair, my first plan is to wait it out and hopefully any moisture dries out. Ive tried cleaning the inside of the USB port, but it makes no difference.
If I changed the USB port myself, a) is that a hard task, b) would it solve my issue?
I had a very similar problem with my note.
Solution was to take out the battery and leave the cover off, in a dry p;ace over night. It could definitely be related to dampness in your phone.

USB port repair

It appears that either the USB port or the USB controller is failing (has failed). The phone still charges but neither the phone nor any computer recognizes that the phone is plugged in. Even when I plug the phone into a wall jack, the phone does not make any sound or light up or show it is charging (it does charge though). If I go to the battery settings while the phone is plugged in (computer or wall) the phone recognizes that it is charging.
If the phone is off and I plug in the usb cable (compter or wall) the phone turns on by itself. This is problematic because I cannot get into the download mode using the 3 button combo. I also cannot get into the download mode using apps like Reboot Widget.
I installed USB Host Controller which says that the USB cable is not plugged in when it is. I can disable and enable USB charging though. Changing the USB Host Drivers has no effect.
So it looks like I need to send it into mobiletechvideos for repair. But reading through the reviews there is concern that just replacing the USB port wont fix my problems if the USB Controller is shot.
Not only did they replace the USB port and get it back to me in about a week but they told me that since the controller had failed and the phone couldn't talk to the computer I wasn't charged the full price for the repair.

So I guess I'm asking if anyone here knows anything about this issue and if mobiletechvideos.com can repair it.
I am also going to email mobiletechvideos.com asking them this same question.
Thanks for your time.

Mobiletechvideos (Connexion2005 on xda) can most likely repair your phone. Him and Adam Outler have been doing the impossible with devices!

[Q] One more charging problem with Nexus 7?

Hello! After some experiments with POGO contacts on my Nexus 7 3G I have the following situation:
1. The normal USB-charging can not properly start. The battery state in the Settings menu eventually changes from Charging to Discharging and back, the battery level goes down as it is indeed discharging. If the tab is off, then the charging animation is not shown completely in an infinite loop.
2. No any connection can be established with a computer using USB cable. Windows 7 machines just ignore this connection without any traces. Windows XP machines repeatedly show warnings about a non-recognized usb device although all drivers were preinstalled.
3. If I put a USB-OTG cable into the tab (even if the cable is empty from other side) android shows that the battery is charging. Neththertheless, the tab in this state correctly recognizes flash drives as it did previously.
4. The POGO charging contacts are alive. The charging is normal. Moreover, this charging alllows to normally connect the tab to computer via USB cable.
I used the last feature to return to the stock ROM and to lock the bootloader, so the device is ready to go to service. But are there some chance to fix the problem by my own?
Thank you!

USB connection is not stable

Soo I am not sure if anyone else noticed but when you plugin your USB, you see your device is charging like me you would see a green led go on (custom kernel) and it's charging
But try now wiggling the cable or whatever and you'll probably notice it will stop charging and will starts charging again
I noticed this especially in my ubuntu vmware machine where VMware was detecting my phone was disconnected/connected and begun opening up like a 10 dialogs showing the internal storage
I am not even sure how to fix such a strange thing, even the nexus 5 had this issue
Anyone else is having loose usb connections or that you have to push down or up to get the connection right ?

I've never seen this either. Not on N6 nor N9.
I've had this issue before, but it was years ago with an Evo 4G. It turned out to be the cable. If the two little "teeth" on the end of the cable get worn, this problem becomes more and more consistent/noticeable.
As he said, its a common problem among all phones that use MicroUSB its due to port fatigue from constantly unplugging and plugging the cable. I have this problem with my Samsung charger when used with my 6 and my friend has the same problem with that cable and her Moto X, I don't use the stock cable that often so it fits well.
