Guys I've a very big problem with my nexus 6, please see and respond with whatever solution you could think of, it'd really be very helpful to me.
Also sorry to write so long message, I've just given my entire issue in detail for some help.
I urgently need help please from someone experienced with this problem(if possible)
I'm having this really weird problem and I've no idea if there's any solution available online.
From past few months, whatever charger I'm putting in it, it's just not working ever again. It takes time, but after like 1-2 weeks the cable just doesn't work.
*I've recently observed that the cable goes something like, first it's charging*around 700mA(on a 1A charger), then after some days it was averaging 500mA(and the charging time increased too), now it's between 100-250mA(and charging time of atleast 6 hours), and finally after few days it'll stop charging.
I can assure that all cables and adapters I used were original(the first one to stop working like this was the original cable which came with this phone), there is no problem in them as I've regularly changed these and whenever I test in some other phone, the cable works until the time Nexus 6 permanently stops the cable.
It has happened to over 5 charging cables now, all this time I thought that it happened because of one charger, but now I think it's because of the phone. Please tell me what to do asap as I don't want to waste more wires on this. I'm losing a lot of money now. I'm unable to sleep at nights over this issue.
I told this issue to service centre, the person over there was surprised that a wire can be damaged too like this, and said I'll be charged ₹200 for checking(which moto customer care says there isn't any charge), I thought of getting it repaired somewhere else, but other people are suggesting me to change cable. I can keep changing but it'll cost me more and I'll have to keep doing this for next 2-3 years. I just need a permanent solution.
I live in Mumbai, India and bought the phone from Flipkart, and also it's out of warranty.
Also I can't find solution to this anywhere in Google, I just need help in determining the exact issue as it is unheard of so I can decide how to proceed to repair(if it's costly then I might not) or give me suggestions.

Probably you battery is dying.
A common problem for all smartphones after 1/2 years of use,
The Nexus 6 can be charged wirelessly; it's slow but good for the battery.
Buy a cheap QI-pad and charge the battery wireless.

Last july, I took my Milestone on a hike and fell on it, breaking the glass. I sent it for repairs and got it back after a nice 120$ bill.
When it came back, the charging plug was loose, but still worked well. Considering this was my only phone (I'm in an appartement without landline), only MP3, acted as my agenda, adress book and GPS, and that I knew that sending it back in would take another 4-6 weeks, I decided to keep it anyways. It was still charging, right?
Well it progressively got looser, and now it won't charge unless it's in the dock, at a certain angle forward, and the 1-year guarantee ended 3 weeks ago... So it's useless as a GPS, and I have to mess with it for a minute everytime I plug it in to make sure it's at the right angle...
Besides sending it back to Motorola, waiting 6 weeks and paying 120$ (again), does anyone else have found a solution to this issue? Is this a part that can be bought myself and replaced by someone skilled?
Thanks!
PS: Here in Quebec, the Consumer Protection Law states that a product should be covered for a reasonable time period... I'm thinking of putting pressure on them by saying that a reasonable time period would be the length of the contract with the carrier, and so that they should repair/replace it under guarantee. Opinions on that?
Buy a battery charger off eBay, they are cheap

I'm talking about the charging port. The microUSB on the phone itself.
He knows, thats still what I would do. You also need a microUSB reader or use wifi to transfer stuff.
If its loose, then it may be just a torn wire, not my forte in small electronics.
If its 120, buy another one. You can get one off ebay cheap, or get one for parts.
Well, the phone just completely died, and won't power on at all-no matter what's the battery I used. I guess that won't be necessary now, lol.
Well, you should take it to repair, maybe you battery has died and some one need to weak-up it.
IMHO is better then buying another one.
I would do what the second poster was sayin and by a battery charger put it to good use again.
hello,
i had this device for almost a month. during the first day of use, i had a random reboot. after an update to v10d i never had this problem, but, since the day before yesterday, i have found the phone dead, and it did not wanted to start until i pulled the battery out.
i use a stock charger with 1A output,since the first day i thought the output intensity was too high.
now, i don`t know what to do: should i replace my phone or just the charger?
maybe, after a month of heavy usage ( i used to recharge my phone at least 2 times a day(i have a job with a lot of free time)) something in the phone or the battery itself cracked.
please, please help me, i have sent a few emails to lg but they fail to reply me.
thanks in advance
charge it with your PC?
If it doesn't work it is probably your phone which has problems. (Try 2 cables if you have)
1A isn't too high, i'm using 2A
As long as the phone is probably designed it doesn't really matter how many amps it gives; cause the phone will take as much as it can use.
If it doesn't work i suggest you send it for repairs.
This problem is fairly standard, lots of the 2x has it. So far no real solution to it. Writing from my phone so I'm not gonna give you a link, but check out the dev subforum and you should find the thread about it on the first page.
My bad, it was actually here in general http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997705
Hello, I bought a Lumia 820 a few months ago but it has just stopped charging. Last night I noticed the phone charging very slowly (1%-2% an hour) and thought nothing of it because I had it tethering at the same time. However after turning it off and going to sleep, leaving the phone to charge overnight, I woke to find the phone had only charged a little and was no longer charging. I'm pretty sure this would be covered by the warranty, but I installed the dev preview . I have very little if any money available to fix it so I have a few questions.
First let me start by saying I am in the UK for anything that may be country specific. Also the phone was new from Amazon UK
1. Is there any chance Nokia will fix it for me under warranty? If not, roughly how much will it cost?
2. Would a wireless charger still be able to charge it? I am a very technical person but I do not know if the two charging circuits are separate (until they meet at the battery) or are joined completely.
3. Is there any chance of fixing it myself? Or using a repair service? If it was a cheaper phone I would just use a repair service from a local place but this is the most expensive phone I've ever owned and I'd rather not risk it being damaged more or me being ripped off.
Thank you for your time, sorry if this is the wrong place but there was a similar topic when I made this but the problem wasn't the same.
I'm pretty desperate so any help is welcomed, thanks.
Ben.
Got my Note 5 with the adaptive faster charger about 3 and a half weeks ago. On my second Note 5 now (had to send the first one in due to problems) and everything was working fine until a couple of days ago. I would notice my phone saying "charging" and then I would have to unplug and plug it back in then the "fast charging" would appear. Now it doesn't ever go into "fast charging" and no matter what I do I always get "charging". I currently have 93% battery and it is telling me 15 minutes until full which seems a lot slower. I tried using my old Note 4 fast charger and get the same issue.
Anyone else with this issue? Wondering if it's the phone or actual charger and if there is anything I can do to get a replacement.
I never paid attention, but I just always figured that the adaptive charger would switch from 5V/2A to 9V/1.67A when it was nearing full charge.

Try a factory reset. If it doesn't work, get it exchanged asap.
Check if the fast charging option in power settings is enabled

I know this thread is kind of old but in case you havent resolved your issue. I had the same problem with my phone so I called warranty, they sent me a brand new charger with cable and it works fine now. I compared the one they sent as a replacement and the one that came with the phone and the replacement cable is actually a lot thicker and feels way more durable. My guess is Samsung cheaped out and threw in a crappy cable to save cost but it wears down A LOT faster than a durable heavy duty one like the replacement I got. Anyways the new charger is working 100% of the time and has held up for about a week so far. we'll see how much longer this cable last.

Quick question, did you contact Samsung directly for this? Did they mail you something or did you have to go in to a local repair depot?
Thanks.

I actually called ATT customer service/warranty center. He told me he'd send me a new charger and cable and I needed to send back my old one. Got it in less than 2 days. Sorry for not being more specific. Also fast charging is still going 100% of the time on the new cable.

Thanks. Looks like I'll have to give my provider a call. I can verify that once I switched the cable I have no issues fast charging. I'm not having a good experience with Samsung so far. When you charge almost $1,000 for a product I expect it to be free of defects in every day use. Meanwhile my cable is messed up after only 3 weeks of owning it and the phone has signal problems that require me to cycle airplane mode to get data working. Never had a problem with my Nexus phones or iPhones. Really poor qualify control.
Ok, I have been dealing with this issue and trouble shooting every which way but loose. I am getting this message every time I try to charge my phone. "Unable to charge your device, make sure you are using a samsung-compatable battery and charger, and that your device is properly connected to the charger." The device is almost 2 years old so it is out of warranty, I called samsung and sent it in at my own expense and they marked it "BER" (Beyond Economical repair) because I had rooted it, I didn't install my own rom I just simply tripped Knox so samsung refused to work on it. Very disappointing. I have now set out to fix it on my own.
OEM Battery: Check
OEM Charger: Check
Properly Plugged in: Check
I have tried multiple different fixes, factory reset didn't work, so I flashed Cyanogen 12.1, Rapture, and Dr. Keton ROMs to see if it was a software issue, NOPE. (P.S. Rapture is my favorite)
So I ordered a wireless charger so see if it was the charger port, NOPE.
Then I ordered a external battery charger and 2 other batteries so I could at least play around with it. SO I have determined it is not the Charger port, Software, or Bad Battery.
2 weeks Prior to this problem occurring the bluetooth flat out quit working. So I am now considering getting a new motherboard but this requires a lot of work I would rather not do if there are any other suggestion at this point I would love to hear them before I pull the trigger and buy a 150$ 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
