I have a Galaxy Nexus phone and after the update to android 4.3, the battery could not charge through the USB cable. Neither the wall socket or anything worked, unless I turned off the phone. This is totally unacceptable.
I have googled and some of the solutions such as turning MTP on and off, or camera mode on/off did not work.
What worked for me is described below and this stemmed from a post by Ramanjali
Current settings before getting it to work
– MTP is checked
– Phone is turned on
– Galaxy nexus phone
– never took off SIM
My steps
– turned on wifi (so i could download the app. i just didn’t want to use my data on the mobile plan).
– downloaded and installed the USB Host Diagnostics App. (Note I am not affiliated to the app in any way)
– opened the app (and wondered what I had to do)
– with usb cable connected to computer, i connected the other end to the phone.
– and then the message ‘Connected as a mobile device’. Woohoo, it’s charging as well now!
Hope this works for you too.
Ohhhh my god….I tried everything….I was about to replace my phone’s usb port…I’m on note2 n7105 By the way….and this actually worked but instead of plugging in to my computer I just plugged it straight to the charger.
Having the same issue with Nexus 5 on KitKat, but the app doesnt seem to work with it atm.
Doesnt work
Thanks a million!!!!!!
fixed for me. surely this is an oversight by Google
