Nexus 5 not charging/charging slowly

[SuperTrucker65]

This worked for Me.

That's pretty poor. This is my first nexus phone purchase from google play and can see its nowhere near the kind of service apple provide. I've requested a replacement and will be shipped shortly, I'm in sort of 2 minds wether to cancel and await Nokia lumia 1520 supposedly launching on the 25th in the uk.

One of the worst mistakes ever!!! Don't do it man!!!!! Honestly you will regret it from the very first moment it lags and lags and lags.

Try getting into boot loader screen. Press volume up down and power button until boot loader screen loads. Or hold power button until something happens.

Just wanted to you to know, u just saved my life. I was beginning to worry, thinking this a hardware-battery problem, should have return to LG to replace the battery. I tried EVERYTHING, re-flash stock image, change kernel, change rom, change cables, nothing, of course i was thinking hardware problems.
Well, of course i had to do the electric-reset "7. Press power button for 30 seconds"! Thank u!

I've had to do this twice in three weeks now. Not sure why my battery is losing its mind, but the process works when my Nexus 5 refuses to charge. I just wish I knew what the root cause is.

folks - I have a problem of the phone not charging beyond 62%. It can charge normally until 62% and then just would not go up. It does say "Charging" and on AC. The above procedure does not seem to help.. any ideas please?

Are you stock? It could be a battery going bad but without looking at it to see if it's bulged (unless you can see an extra bulge in back), it's hard to say. It could be a software issue too.

my phone suddenly wasnt charging over computer USB ports anymore. it was showing "charging", but the percetage would actually get lower. didnt have this issue this morgning, it appeared in the last 15 minutes. i just did the "hold power button for 30 seconds" trick, lets see if it works...

/edit: btw i'm using a thirdparty usb cable that i got from the dollar shop. been using it for nearly a year, ever since i have the n5. it never failed me until today. i have to check if it still charges with the original charger/cable when i'm home

I had the same problem and today i got my phone working after 48 hours of trying. Please follow the instructions in this video.

search "Nexus phone or tablet won't charge or turn on" on YouTube, user: googlehelp
sorry it won't let me post a youtube link...

I was lucky to have a $6 USB current meter, so i could tell that the phone was charging or not (ie i could see when it was fully charged). The phone will not start often when it has died 100%. The key was to charge it for at least 1 hour, unplug the cable and then replug the cable within 10 seconds. This is demonstrated in the video. I guess this somehow starts the CPU, which is the problem you are having.

Sorry for stirring up an ancient thread. Mine is on 5.0.1. Sometimes there are apps just decided to eat your electricity whether your phone is charging or not. The solution is to turn off the phone while charging. Also uninstall culprit apps.

riz157's method helped me...my battery not-charging problems happened after updating from one cm 12.1 nightly to a new one on 4/29/2015...no matter which charger or usb cable i used (same ones that worked fine before)...coincidence? perhaps...

so, thanks for the method

Thanks a lot for this advice and this really worked.

I have been facing this issue for last couple of weeks and this really gives me a workaround to charge my phone. Never had this charging issue before in last 1.5 years but not sure if something is dying inside my Nexus 5. :crying:

Thanks for the method but

It's worked 3 times for me but the battery has never reached 100% (45%, 80%, 60%).
So I did a facory reset, a wipe cache, I bought a new battery but nothing has changed, the phone won't charge.
It's propably an harware issue due to a water damage of my phone happened a few weeks ago
I cleaned up evetything by following this thread the phone works well except the phone won't charge (or sometimes with the charging fix posted above)
Any idea ?
