  1. Another article not giving any real solutions! This is extremely frustrating. There is CLEARLY something wrong with this if it’s a recurring issue, but all I’m finding is generic “did you check the cable?” troubleshooting. Not helpful at all.

  2. I have been using Motorola Nexus 6. Now it Shows some problem like while charging mobile it shows charging where as in real the battery does not charges at all. I ever replaced charging jack & battery with new one but problem still persist.
