Verizon Galaxy Nexus with new battery and new charging board - as soon as it powers up and goes through the startup color animations, it displays a "Powering Off" message. An old time and date appear, and the display only stays on for a few seconds, but I was able to see that the battery icon was red, as if it thinks the battery is discharged completely.
The phone is currently not activated at Verizon. (I pulled my old Motorola Droid out of the closet until I can fix this one).
When powered off with the charger plugged in, it displays a battery with a lightning bolt icon followed by a battery-filling-up animation. On occasion, I have been able to get it to fully boot to the full menu screen. I was then able to go into the battery settings menu and found that the battery was discharging even with the power cord plugged in. I then ordered and replaced the charging board. But since then I have not been able to get it to fully boot.
I expect the issue to be that the phone is not sensing sufficient battery voltage, though the battery has 3.7 Volts. The battery is fully charged (in another identical phone) and is not the issue. All four of the battery contacts are clean and press solidly against the battery.
The next thing to replace would be the main board, and I wonder if it's worth the cost at this point.
Any ideas?
