Nexus Worst problem

[risteicev]

When my phone (Galaxy Nexus) is turned off the charger is working properly, but when I turn it ON the charger stops working. Also when I connect it with a pc, it is not working.. Somebody familiar with this problem ???

are you using the supplied charger and usb cable?

The GN is very picky about its USB cable. If in doubt use the original cable. The USB cable for my LG phones will not work on my GN. IMO its due to its OTG functionality but I don't know if thats it.

I have the same problem of it charging sometimes and not charging others on a cable that’s plugged into my PC that I bought from Amazon for a buck. I just figured it’s because of the cheap quality of the cable. It was a buck.. I kinda expected this behavior out of it. Like eating late night tacos from a food stand. I mean.. you know it’s gonna hurt the next day.. but man, those things are a too good of a deal to pass up!
