Samsung Galaxy Nexus — Galaxy Nexus Won't Charge

I'm actually posting this a bit late, as I've already been sent a replacement Galaxy Nexus. Basically, my old phone simply stopped charging, and I'm pretty sure it was a problem with the port. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Did you also have to replace your phone?

I had the same problem. I found the fix online - took 1 minute. The USB port and plug were not making good contact. I could run the phone on power from the charger, but it would not actually charge.

Look inside the USB port and you will see a "tab" there. Lever this up gently (after removing the battery) towards the centre of the port.

That fixed it for me. BTW. my phone is less than nine months old!

I find some of the newer plugs and sockets are just not engineered well - I've had the same problem with HDMI on my TV.

I registered on here JUST so I'd be able to upvote and thank marchino on the pro tip that you had to adjust the inside contact tab in the middle of the micro usb port. Thanks so much, saved my night and my wallet

Thanks Marchino! I to registered just so that I could thank you

i also made an account to thank you as well Marchino!
really saved my chrismas break

Thank you soooo much...tears of happiness!

Thanks marchino you made my day, maybe month! was about to buy another verizon nexus when all mine needed was a little port bending

Thanks marchino, your a hero . only signed up to thank you .

I haven't had any charging issues. Maybe someone else has. I CAN drain the battery while charging if i have hotspot turned on while maxing out download speeds on 4g. A 750ma charger just couldn't push it fast enough!

Thanks Marchino!

I was skeptical but this worked perfect.

Marchino is the man! I'm another satisfied customer.

Another Marchino fan! You saved my phone!! Now I can go teach kindergarten tomorrow and still check personal emails at lunch. Woo hooo! Thanks, Marchino!!
