I have problem with my Nexus 6 (no warranty) from last two months. Phone is rooted and on 7.0 (from yesterday)
One night I noticed my phone says it is charging over USB when connected to the quick charger so it is charging very slowly (more than 8 hours from 0-100%).
I was using the Qualcomm quick charger and USB Magnetic adapter when it start to do only USB charge. I tried different "regular" chargers and multiple USB cords. All yield the same results. So it seems to be some faulty hardware but I don't know which part.
Also i noticed that PC has stopped recognize it when it's connected - it only show USB charging. I don't have option to set connection to MTP (alternative I found it in developer options - same result)
Already tried:
-different chargers
-different usb cables
-factory reset on marshmallow
-downloaded Nougat on phone and flashed to Nougat rom
I have friend who repair phones, gave it to him - he changed microusb connector - same problem...
I mean phone is working but I really depend on battery. I use it everyday for navigation and my company use Android application for work.
Any ideas?
I have some money to buy another phone but I don't want to change my beloved Nexus - I can't find an alternative phone to replace this beast.
Even i'm suffering from the same problem. (Out of warranty)
I sent it to 2 different repair centers of Motorola in India.
1 changed the port and still the problem persisted.
The other one was a more advanced service center. They took the phone for around 2 months and then they told me there is some hardware problem and it would cost around 60% of the device cost to repair the problem.
On asking the problem, they just kept telling there is some Hardware problem which they couldn't explain but they knew this would repair the device.
Now I'm a student. Somehow i bought a Nexus 6 that too when its prices were at peak (Rs. 48999) with my parents help.
I use it as my only primary gear. Now it takes around 7 hours to fully charge if kept on Airplane mode and that too without using it.
Its just a waste i am keeping because i cannot afford the repair and even cannot but a new Phone.
Choosing Motorola sucked! (I still trust Google and love it)
I saw TK using Nexus 6. I was much excited. I saw all his videos. It was fun but now even he has dumped the device.
Now i just keep on trying my luck on Giveaways by XDA expecting to get a device.
(I was too excited when they had a Pixel Giveaway by Rhinoshield but unfortunately i didn't win)
All my hope is XDA Giveaways coz i can only trust them.
If you find any solution to this problem please do reply here or mail me.
It would be of great help.

That magnetic Micro USB Adapter fried your N6 charging port. This happened to my N6. It exactly what you have described. Fortunately, I have warranty and Motolora sent a replacement unit. It beyond repair. The replacement units was fried again when I used the magnetic POS. So got another replacement. Stay away from that magnetic POS. The seller gave me a full refund without even asked me to return that magnetic POS.

Hi I've got my DS7 for a while now but 2 days ago it stopped charging battery.
I thought maybe the charger is broken so I plugged it to my laptop via USB cable only but every time I've tried my laptop crashed and turned off ( I've got Asus G72GX which have safety switch when there is issue with power ).
I've tried also to connect it to my PS3 to charge it but no sucess too.
Right now I can't do anything about it because Dell Support told me that even if my DS7 is still on warranty I can't calim it because I bought it from Amazon from original owner, bastards ...
Any ideas ? Is it common issue with DS7's ?
No this is not common. Was it like this when you first bought it?
The s7 will not actually say it's charging if it's not on a 1/2A source. Pretty much only dedicated chargers can provide 1/2A, most laptops and pcs and etc usually dont.
You can get a cheap charger replacement at Amazon.

I just bought new charger on ebay to check if its the charger or the actual device issue but it will arrive probably after christmas.
Thanks everyone.

So my otherwise adorable 1 year old somehow got his hands on my Captivate this weekend. When we finally caught him, he was chewing and slobbering on it pretty much right where the USB port is. After getting the phone back out of his grubby little hands, my wife and I took it completely apart and have had the whole works soaking in rice for a day or so.
When I put it back together, it booted just fine, and everything seems to be in working order. Except...when I plug a cable into the USB port, it doesn't charge, and it doesn't connect to my computer for storage mounting/flashing. This would be a bit of a problem.
I've checked for obstructions in the port itself and there don't seem to be any. I can get by for now without charging because my wife and I have the same phone (so we can periodically swap batteries...), but she's leaving town for two weeks at the end of this week. I really don't want to have to buy a new phone...so any ideas on fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

Once the USB port is gone its gone, you would need to get an external wall charger for it and a wifi file browser.
there might be some moister in it yet, but generally the captivates had issues with the USB port just flaking out like that. Its a common problem for this phone, and also has happened to mine.
Or you can just pay ~35$ to get it fixed, look in my sig. They are good!

Hmm...I didn't even realize that was an option. I'll be looking into that. Thanks!
They fixed mine and it works great. I would also order a new cable from them for like 7 bucks. It is all well worth it!
interesting, didnt know about that one either
Update:
It's apparently not *quite* as dead as I thought. It's still not recognizing my computer or telling me that it's charging...but apparently it is actually charging my battery. I plugged it into my computer just to see and left it. It never said that the phone is charging, but when I came back a few minutes later the battery meter had gone up, and it's still doing that fairly consistently.
That's at least good news for now. Even if the USB transfer is dead, I'm still OK as long as I can charge. As long as I don't have to use download mode...
That sounds like a bad cable, just buy one of those first, cheaper and easier to check!

It's nothing to do with the cable. We have four USB cables and two different car chargers. It's the same thing with all of them, and they all work perfectly on my wife's phone.

My first Captivate had a USB port go bad.. I tried 10 different cables and decided for some reason it was a ROM issue and got into download mode.. well let's just say I was buying another Captivate the next day.. lol
I did resurrect it by buying a Captivate with a broken screen on Ebay cheap. Combined the two and it's actually a later production and the GPS works good compared to hardly at all before. M yold screen and new guts.. Now I have a spare phone to try new Roms on without messing up my daily driver.. (Dark Knight 4 atm)
I see broke screen Captivates for $40-80 on Ebay regularly..
My wife also has a captivate with a dead USB port. So I went on amazon and searched for captivate batteries and external charger and found a package that came with 2 extended life batteries and the wall charger that charges one separatly from the phone while you use the other in the phine . Its made by Laza wireless and both batteries and charger was 15.99 and shipped free. Got it in two days and works great and was a whole lot cheaper than a phone.

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread but, I have had the same problem for months also caused by a toddler sucking on the phone and cables. I swap batteries daily. stock/1800/2430 mah. I am curious if anyone knows of a wireless charging option. I know my wii batteries are inductive and it is just the new battery and charger on a stock remote. is there an inductive charger and battery available for cappy? is wireless charging dangerous to the phone if it wasnt designed with it in mind? for that matter is anything available for anyother phones besides the lumia 920 and maybe nexus I think?
cheapest, best option is to get the USB port repaired by mobiletechvideos.com, imho.
I know of no induction solution for captivate that works without a good usb port.
I figured and also thought the Cappy wouldn't be a device supported by a new battery developer when there is so many newer ones out.
Thx

My touchpad was in a bicycle and was getting charged. My cousin placed the TP on a bicycly after the battery is about 43% and was charging.
He accidently shaked the bicycle and the touchpad was falled from the bicyle in the position where the charging port is connected.
Now it shows charging, but not charging. I plugged the charger at 41% and it came to 37% after 15-30 mins with the charger plugged.
Please help. Any DIY work that can fixthe touhpad or make the touchpad charge?
Thanks
Helps are appreciated.
Invest in a touchstone wireless charger. After the USB port went bad on one of my previous touchpads, it was a no brainer.

What do you think about the problem? Can I fix it in some local shops? How much do they ask?
Thanks for your INFOs.
With a donor tablet, you could probably have it fixed. In my opinion, unless its a 32gb, 4g, or 64gb model, its cheaper to just replace it. When I sold my 64gb with all the extras, I was disappointed to see how low the value had dropped. Personally I would go the touchstone route, and in the meantime, find a cell phone repair shop that isn't afraid of surface soldering and have the connector replaced. No idea on costs, but the microusb connector is about a 3$ part. Only problem would be if the PCB was cracked, thus my thoughts on a donor tablet to just swap the sub board assembly with USB port.

Ok now imagine that i am in a cell phone repair shop. I tell the repairing man that the tablet has fallen down with the charging position downwards and now its not charging. Will he fix the problem? Time duration as my father needs it in 4-5 hrs.

You are from Chennai right? Go to any cell phone repair shop and ask them to fix charging port. It is a common problem in phones, and they might even have spare microUSB ports. I repaired one in Mumbai when I was there in Jan, and since I just re-soldered my existing port, and already had the unit open, AND I knew the repair guy, he only charged me Rs. 30 (~50 cents ), ONLY for soldering.
But if you don't want to open the touchpad on your own, and dont want to mess around, you can expect them to fix it for something like Rs. 200-300.
If they ask for more, tell them it is a cheap made in china (sorry, no offense intended) replica and you didn't even pay too much for it People usually don't know about Touchpads here.
You can also try those small shops that repair TVs or Radios, sometimes they also repair for cheap.

Thank you sir. You saved my life. I went to a shop and gave a 350 Rs and repaired. I said it as a china replica as you mentioned but he said that the quality is like a U.S or U.K made. So, He got the money mentioned above. Again Thank you so much.
Hi guys,
I have a nexus 6 with Marshmallow, a few days ago I realized (using Ampere) that my nexus is not charging as fast as it should in turbo mode. I have done several things, like trying 5 cables, 2 turbo chargers, I also did a factory reset, I downgraded to Lollipop and nothing works, I always get 1,200 am maximum.... Using the warranty is not an option because I don't live in the same country were I bought the cellphone
Any ideas?

my turbo charge stopped working in june, 1200mV is all i get as well. ive spent lots of time trying to figure out why and trying to fix it. so far, nothing. but i DO believe that the issue is caused by my usb port in the phone(hardware). my usb has been getting harder and harder to connect to, and wont hold very well when connected. i actually have only one chord that ill connect to(as of now), and it barely holds onto my phone. anyways, thats my experience with it. it doesnt really bug me too much. even though i did have to buy a wireless charger since i thought no more wires would connect(and it charges even slower).
Ok, I have been dealing with this issue and trouble shooting every which way but loose. I am getting this message every time I try to charge my phone. "Unable to charge your device, make sure you are using a samsung-compatable battery and charger, and that your device is properly connected to the charger." The device is almost 2 years old so it is out of warranty, I called samsung and sent it in at my own expense and they marked it "BER" (Beyond Economical repair) because I had rooted it, I didn't install my own rom I just simply tripped Knox so samsung refused to work on it. Very disappointing. I have now set out to fix it on my own.
OEM Battery: Check
OEM Charger: Check
Properly Plugged in: Check
I have tried multiple different fixes, factory reset didn't work, so I flashed Cyanogen 12.1, Rapture, and Dr. Keton ROMs to see if it was a software issue, NOPE. (P.S. Rapture is my favorite)
So I ordered a wireless charger so see if it was the charger port, NOPE.
Then I ordered a external battery charger and 2 other batteries so I could at least play around with it. SO I have determined it is not the Charger port, Software, or Bad Battery.
2 weeks Prior to this problem occurring the bluetooth flat out quit working. So I am now considering getting a new motherboard but this requires a lot of work I would rather not do if there are any other suggestion at this point I would love to hear them before I pull the trigger and buy a 150$ motherboard, If it honestly comes to that I might just sell the phone for parts, I bought an s7, but I loved my note 4. I would prefer to go back to it cause I like the battery life on the note 4 but LOVE the camera on the s7. Any way, Any Ideals would be fantastic, thanks.
I had an international note 3 that used to say that. I think you may have to use a power source for which that perticular phone was designed for.... just an idea... If i recall i could slowly charge it using a car charger but not a wall charger. I dont know why though i sold it on craigslist before i found the answer.
I also had a similar problem with a regular domestic note 3. Turns out my baby stuck my phone in her mouth and her spit corroded the terminals. So the phone just wouldnt charge. Was a pretty easy fix for like 10 bucks for a whole new charging port. Did you maybe drop your phone and dislocate the flex cable from your board? http://youtu.be/OYBWT1yfilc
Doesnt seem toooo difficult to fix but if it were me id just swap out batteries
