Check under settings> battery and see if it says "Not charging"

a couple minutes later it says not charging.. but the top battery icon is showing that its charging and it is plugged in.

There might be a problem with the usb port. If it persists, and you can replicate it, i would take it into verizon for a replacement unit.

If you dont want to do that, you might want to try a factory reset but that will erase everything on your phone and the sd-card memory, and i dunno how likely it is to help but it might be worth a shot.

The battery icon in the status bar always shows the lightening bolt when the phone is plugged in. "Even if it's fully charged!"

The first thing I would do is pull the battery (while the phone is still on). Leave it out for a minute or so, put it back in and see if goes back to normal. Sometimes these mini computers need a hard reboot.

I've had the same issue and couldn't get it to go away. Had to swap phones.

Same here. Even on replacements and others I've seen, which presumably means the icon is always like that if charging.

The lightning? Weird. It did it with the customer service model as well so I presumed the icon just indicates it's plugged in.

Its how ICS is set up I think. The Xoom shows the same thing when it is charging too.

I had this problem with my GN and it ended up being the ac adapter for the usb cord went bad.

This makes sense...

I get it no matter what USB cord and plug I use. I also get it with the car charger. It is like that on both the Xoom and Nexus.

Is it me or is the GNex very sensitive to charging cords? It really is picky and if I don't use my factory cord, there is always a chance that it won't charge.

The only time I have had a problem with the charging is when I used a rapid charger car charger on it.

Samsung chargers seem to be faulty

Mine suddenly stopped charging when I'm using the phone while plugged in. It still seems to charge when idle.

That isn't anything new for some phones. I think that is by design.
