NEXUS 4 wont charge after lollipop update ....

[Kassh3]

Updated my Nexus 4 to new lollipop software last night.

Today i went to charge the phone (was at 37%) and now the battery percentage is going DOWN as the phone is plugged into the charger...

Has anyone else had this issue after updating the software?!

PLEASE HELP!

Welcome to Android Central! Do you see the lightning bolt in the battery icon when plugged in? Go to Settings>Battery--does it say Charging (AC) or Charging (USB)?

Although it would be a weird coincidence, it's still conceivable that the charging cable or wall plug suddenly became faulty. Does the problem persist when using a different charger?

I've had a similar experience.

I haven't had a problem when connected to a wall charger, but connected to a PC it often (but not always!) won't charge. (Seems to be something related to having the data lines being present - I'll test out the PC with a dumb Chrome cast cable, it only has 2 connections).

Annoyingly, the icon on the status bar indicates it *is* charging, but the words of the battery details page says it isn't. So the only way to confirm, is to go into the full battery stat page.



How's this for a confused image?!
(Check the status bar icon, and then the words on the page and graph).
It's not a charge safety shut-down, the phone was totally cold.

Just for clarification, this is a Nexus 4 which never had an issue. The cable, PC etc are all unchanged. The only change is Lollipop (full wipe factory install).

Did you manage to fix this? My sister's nexus 4 had the same issue, it ran out of battery now won't power on at all
