My Windows Live account worked before. But now I can log in but can't use anything. I use the same Windows Live account on phone, zune and xbox. Zune works fine with the same Windows Live account. My WP phone sees the Xbox Gamertag just fine. Just the website isn't working. I already tried IE, Firefox and Opera. I think because I changed my Windows Live password one time. I also changed my phone password to match the new one. Probably the website couldn't tell if I am logged in on my phone. I am going to reset my phone because this is lame.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masterkamon842:
Since this morning my phone says it's charging when in fact it's unplugged. I tried cleaning the charging port, wiping cache, full wiping and reinstalling the rom, everything and don't understand why it'll never get off charging state.

I do check in settings while unplugged it says not charging and when plugged in says charging, but it's stuck saying "on battery for 23 min" and the icon never stops from charging....

Any suggestions? It's really annoying... Never had a single problem with my One S... :(

SOLUTION: Clean the charger port with a hard pointed object (that's what she said), make sure you clean and dirt or particles from underneath the middle piece in the charger port.

Also, if you notice the middle piece is too close or making contact with the bottom, use the pointed object to CAREFULLY bend it up a little.

Do all this while the phone is off and battery out. Use compressed air if available. if you wet it then completely dry it before putting the battery back in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
did you try wiping the Dalvik cache when you did the regular cache?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:

A LOT of users have reported this problem, yet Samsung claims it is water damage and won't do a warranty repair: http://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyNexus/comments/tqlii/samsung_refusing_to_honor_warranty_for_infamous/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xternal:
There is already a thread on this which has some useful info:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427539It ranges from yep your charging port is f*cked :(or it just needs a clean and little tweak. :)

To get mine fixed I gave it blast with compressed air and a little needle to make sure all the lint/gunk was out of the port. I made sure the port was straight (if it looks like it is bent downwards slightly, try and pop it back up softly). Then what fixed it for me is to hit it with a little electrical contact cleaner.

I have a feeling the port was getting shorted by something as each of the pins on the microusb port are very close.

Hope that helps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zuberio:
Interesting - I'll have to keep an eye out for something like this on my phone.

I guess first step is the compressed air blast with a needle cleaning of the port. If that doesn't work then on to Samsung to see if they'll honor a warranty repair (outlook not good on this - apparently they claim water damage). Worst case you can get a replacement OEM charging cable off ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Charge-...440?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33746d1eb8

And fix the faulty part yourself or have someone you trust do it.

Thanks to all the suggestions, it does the same thing even after wiping, installing other roms or going back to stock. I tried cleaning it with a toothbrush but will try with a toothpick or something stronger. Will give updates once I do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xternal:
I would suggest the electrical contact cleaner is going to be a good bet too. If it is water damage, it could just be a bit of water has gotten in there (from a table, rain etc) and then when its dried impurities could be shorting the plug.

I am not sure what stores in the states have it (maybe bestbuy?), but we have an electronic store here called Jaycar which sells it. You could even just slip in and give it a quick spray in the isle.

Turn the phone off before doing it, and make sure it is ECC!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masterkamon842:
Fixed! It was the charger port. All i did was clean it out with a metal pointed object. I also noticed the middle piece was touching the bottom edge. It could've been making false contact. So i bent it up just a little and voila problem solved.

Hopefully this thread may further serve as future reference. Thanks everyone for your help! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rickbosch:
I know I don't have a Galaxy Nexus, but the Nexus S can also suffer from the same problem. I believe it's because of the USB ports that are the same.

Inside the USB port of the phone there is a flat plate which slides into the wall charger/USB cable, I've noticed that when this is "bent" down it will show that it's charging when it isn't, so all you need to do is to find something (I used the tip of the missus'one plastic nail file) to "bend" it up about a millimetre or two and all should be fine.

Worked for me, so I thought I would try to help out here because I know how infuriating it can be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skitty:
I had this problem a couple of weeks ago. I also had issues with being unable to connect my phone to a computer. I contacted Samsung, explained my issue and they sent me packaging to send it away. It took me 45 mins to get the computer to recognise my phone to return it to stock, but i managed it. I then wrote a nice little letter explaining the issue, that others also had the issue and that I recommended changing the whole charging board.

I got it back a week later and lo and behold, they'd taken my advice and fitted a new charging board. Now it might just be me, but the inside of the micro USB port looks slightly different. I just can't put my finger on why.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julllleee:
Hi, I had this problem but i sprayed "metal cleaner" on a toothbrush and wiped the contact and now it works fine again :3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DualDark:
This happened to me yesterday. First the phone doesnt charge, it was at 25%, After that i charged it with phone turned off, then turned on and battery whas 50% but still not charging. Turned off again, plugged the charger and it looks like was chargin, when i turned on again it was at 12%, like the charger just discharge it xD. After that the problem began, the battery icon shows like charging when unplugged....

Looks like i managed to clean it with a needle, now the chargin notification is gone, and i can transfer files via USB to my laptop, but still i cant charge with AC :-/

And when i plug the usb cable, the notification icon comes again :-/

After some time my charge port started giving me issues again. I tried messing around with it but all I did was break it. Eventually I bought a replacement flex cable and ended up installing it myself. Very easy to do. Looked up a video on YouTube and in 10 minutes my phone was charging again.

And i used this guide to pull my nexus apart.

ifixit(dot)com/Guide/Repairing-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Micro-USB-Charge-Port/9641/1[/url]

Just be very careful on step 6 "Some have reported the cable is soldered to the mainboard. This was not the case on this CDMA version. It may be soldered in newer revisions or the GSM model."

I broke my volume down because the guide didnt have a warning !

I hope this might help anyone else who is having problems :)

[HTC One X] qtableau:
Hi!

I'll try to explain me as best as possible here about the 2 main issues I have with my One X.

I'm living in Shanghai, and I've bought it here, however, because of the stupid issues between Google and China, my One X doesn't have the Google play store.

I tried to dowmload it, and it doesn't launch, after a second or 2, I'm back to the main screen of my phone.

I contacted HTC, and they basically told me to use the Hiapk market, but it's extremely limited, and some apps won't work. For ex: downloading Foursquare through this parallel market is ok, but when it comes to the install, it would just tell me that the app can't be installed...

I asked HTC if it's possible to overcome these restrictions, as I'm french, and would certainly go back to France someday... Had no answer... As for foursquare, HTC told me to contact foursquare directly.

So, I would like to know if it is possible to change the OS of the phone to put one from anywhere else in the world where the play store is not factory censored, and if that would for example solve the foursquare issue (or any possible issue that I might have with other apps).

Sorry if I'm not using the good terms, but I just switched from IOS to android 3 weeks ago...

The warranty would certainly be void, but I'm up taking the risk as I can't use the phone for more than 2/3 games... I feel like I've just made an expensive mistake...

Thanks in advance for your help!
[HTC One X] joshnichols189:
You can root it and install a custom rom on it that will give you access to the play store.
[HTC One X] qtableau:
How could I do that ? what does root exactly means ?

I'm new to android, and I'm not sure about what I should do. Did few research but I'm not sure about what I should pick and install on it.

I'm not looking for anything fancy, just the same OS but with the possibility to have the play store, I don't really want to overclock or change it at all levels.

Thanks for the answer!
[HTC One X] joshnichols189:
Rooting is like "administrator" access on a PC, if that makes sense. You can install a custom ROM that looks like what you have now but with extra features. I think if you go in the development section there are a few threads you can look at that will help you root and install a custom ROM so you can access the play store. Goodluck :)

Will definitely give it a shot

[HTC One X] calmic:
use a VPN

qtableau,

(and others behind the #@$!%* Great FireWall)

i live in SH as well,

Do yourself a really big favor! Get a VPN!

Rooted phones do nothing for websites that are blocked (which come and go).

A rooted phone is not a solution to blocked websites

&

Market Enabler, although a great app, can not be used to unblock websites, it merely tells the Android Market/Google play store you are using a different service provider so you can download apps not available in your country (to bypass the “This item is not compatible with your device” MSG) IE my China Unicom Device is displayed as "AT&T HTC Desire" in the play store

AND because almost every non-Chinese website in the world has a facebook, twitter, and a Google+ feed/rss button/, every time a non Chinese page loads the #@$!%* Great FireWall needs time to check it out before it loads, so without a vpn surfing on a mobile can be horrible.

I use a VPN service provided by 12vpn, you can use it with multiple computers and mobile devices simultaneously. It will change your life. I have it on 4 desktops, a laptop, an iphone and android phone.

And you can use it to access online content that is not available outside certain countries ie: i can access the online TV website hulu.com which is only available to US residents.

one caveat: you CAN'T use it on a computer that has a running a torrent program though...which sucks! You have to close the program before you can run the vpn but just on (i pretty sure this a 12vpn policy, other providers should let u use a torrent program simultaneously)`

Costs about 400RMB a year but freedom is PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!

Disclosure: I am 4 year customer of 12vpn.com and have no other interests/connections to the company

IMHO Chinese censorship is mostly a BUSINESS decision. Same as any governmental organization that requires a certain amount of local programming on TV or radio (FCC, CRTC,oxfam etc)

I found a solution by paying a bit more...

I gave up on trying to read all the tutorials on how to root phones and went to an electronic market in SH (where I live, if you do, go to xujiahui to do so)

For a hundred RMB, I got it changed to a hongkong OS, where everything is allowed and works great. Some updates not even available on the official one in China went with it. Hope it helps and that you'll be able to find a market near your place.

Basically, my advice for some other people reading this thread: Don't buy it in a real shop, go to a market, they're half the price, and already flashed to a "working" version... wish I'd known that

Hello guys!

If you have this kind of issues then the only thing you need to do is:

- Download FASTBOOT files, Google it, it should be 3 files. The size small. Make your own folder called "Android" on C: Drive. Put the files there.

- Unlock the Boot loader, go to your respective forums and find a way to unlock your device's Boot loader.

- Get ClockWorkMod recovery for your device, Google it, go to their website, search for newest version for your device, download.

- Put the .img file onto the "Android" folder.

- Enter Boot loader mode (For HTC it's POWER + Volume Down). Navigate using physical buttons, and Select FASTBOOT option.

- Flash it with CMD on Windows by using this command:

--- cd c:\Android

--- fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_you_downloaded.img

--- fastboot erase cache

- Done all that, search for a custom ROM that's already pre-ROOTed and has built-in Kernel to avoid troubles like boot loops.

- Put that ROM onto your SD card, DO NOT EXTRACT THE ZIP.

- Enter Recovery by going into Boot loader mode

- Full Wipe/Factory Reset your phone through Recovery, then erase Cache through Recovery too.

- "Install zip from SD" card through Recovery, select the ROM.zip, select YES. Now wait.

- Voila, Democracy speaks for itself ;D

Thank me if i helped! :laugh:

If u flash a ROM of another device which has different hardware, u will hard brick ur device.
