Phone shuts off while charging overnight.

My girlfriend has told me the past few nights she puts the phone on the charger and overnight somehow it's turning it self off... She wakes up and its dead. I have no idea what it could be. I haven't had a chance to experience it myslef yet.
Any ideas?

I think I've had the same issue. To clarify by dead do you mean powered off? Several times I've put my phone on to charge at night and woken up to a phone that is powered off.

No her phone is not rooted. Its bone stock. She's had it since launch day. I've never herd of a phone shutting off during charging. Unless she's doing something that she don't know.

Maybe try charging it during the day and keep an eye one he notification led. If it starts flashing alternating green/amber then it is overheating. That would be my guess anyways.

Any reason why it would be over heating? Bad charger or battery?
I've never experienced my evo over heating and its even overclocked to 1115ghz.

Is she plugging into a wall outlet to charge?
If so, I would try a different plug. It's possible the location she is plugging into could have a bad outlet (tripped breaker, etc).
Also, can you verify that the charger and cord are working?

Im gonna check out the outlet shes using and what not. I may even trade her my Evo charger and cord for hers and see what happens. But if anything we just may go exchange it for another one. Best buy gives you 30 days.

I also have this issue with my Thunderbolt. I've tried different outlets and different chargers. I have yet to figure out any sort of pattern. It just happens when I get up some mornings. When it finishes starting up its just fine.

I had the same exact problem, I actually made me late for work. But who cares.
It was dead battery and all. Phone wouldnt even come on after plugging it in. Needed minimal charge to even turn on.
I found the cable and charger were the problem. I am now using my charger from my N1 with out any problem. I used the same charger for my N1 and low and behold I had a dead N1 in the morning. scrap the ****ty charger and purchase an after market or go to VZ store and ***** and moan and possibly they'll spot you a new one.
Definitely a charger issue though, at least for me.

Thanks for the info... Like i said im gonna try my Evo charger and see if it works. But i may just have her go exchange it for a whole new phone and everything.

definately seems like a bad charger.
Should be pretty easy to find out though. Just plug it in and bring up the battery widget. keep an eye on it, and see what happens..

Droid Charge defect, or just my phone?

When my phone is connected via USB to my computer for charging purposes my touch screen goes all out of wack. Here's a way to test if it happens to your charge.
1. Connect USB to computer
2. Go to empty home screen (#5 for me)
3. Long press and choose widgets
(This is difficult to do at times with touch screen going nuts)
4. Choose any widget
5. Then long press on widget to move around screen, but just hold it in place. Is it jumping all around the screen, even though your not moving it? Mine does, but when I disconnected from computer it doesn't do this. Wall charger doesn't do this as well. Just got my phone a week ago, might exchange it at Best Buy unless this is normal. Any advice?

Sounds like a voltage issue with your USB port. Have you tried replicating the issue on another computer? I just tried it now on my laptop and it didn't do it. Then again, I'm running the latest gingerbread release. Not sure what you're using.

is your mass storage option on? sometimes the widgets act weird because they are on the sd card.

It does it both with mass storage on and off. I'm currently fully stock, I'm going to try it on my pc, then I'll try a new USB cord as well. Thanks for your help guys.

Sensation just killed itself.

Well it looks like my sensation just killed itself and has gone to the mobile phone graveyard in the sky.
It was on about 85% battery just lying on the side, not charging, then suddenly the screen flashes, it turns itself off and then nothing.
I take the battery out for a while, put it back in , nothing. I connect the charger, it doesn't even light up to suggest it's charging.
Absolutely dead and it's 100% stock with no mods.. Oh well. Off to the HTC shop tomorrow..

Maybe the battery is completely dead. Try charging it for an hour, unplug the charger, and see if you could turn it on.

Can you get to the bootloader?

Try holding down the power button longer. Mine used to require a very long press to turn on.
Matt

held power button for 5 minutes and nothing lol
It had 85% battery then woosh.. a flicker.. and nothing

Sorry to hear that.. keep us updated.

Sorry to hear.. that suxx.. R.I.P poor Sensation

that's a sensational headline

Maybe it overheated. A friend's thunderbolt overheated and wouldn't turn on for almost 3 hours.

Well done HTC you done it again.

I think mine just did the same thing. WTF? I am rooted, flashed Android Revolution HD 1.1.7. Everything seemed fine. It reloaded all of my apps automatically and everything was fine. Was messing around in my office and went to check it and I was getting the "black screen" when I tried to wake it. Pulled the battery and it won't come on at all. Can't get into the bootloader or anything. Have it plugged into my computer with the USB and the LED indicator was flashing a few times, my computer recognizes it off and on but it has alerted me a couple of times now. Weird. I will leave it off for a little while and see if I can boot it back up.

I have the same situation with my phone. I also added the black and white circle batterymod from themes and apps section. I got it to boot when its on wall charger. Seems that itdrained the battery from about 75% to 0% in about 7 hours of idling when I was sleeping, luckily the alarm still worked, but the screen didn't go on before wall charging.
Hope this helps. Going to flash some other ROM, god I miss CM7.

Mine died too. Overnight when it was plugged in. Woke up no lights, no LED's when i plugged it in. Manually charged the battery with a spliced USB cable till it was at 4 volts... nothing. Brought it in to the store they tried a spare battery... sucker was totally non responsive.

That sounds like mine, apart from the charging bit
Took it to the HTC shop and they have to send it away to their "techie" people to confirm it's "dead dead" before they will replace.
Should be 10 days, could be 30.
If i'd bought it online from them apparently i'd have more rights and they'd replace on the spot.... nice......
Didn't even get a loan phone and this is one of HTC's "brand" shops, even detailed on their site. (

So not only you can have death grip and unresponsive screen...but now it's the whole phone that die??
How the hell I am supposed to switch from sgs2, I am too scared now

Why do you bother, just stick with your Samsung, I bet you are really happy with that one.

99% of the people here have no problems, so I wouldn't base your choice on this situation

Battery always in charge ?? (even when not !)

Really strange problem guys...
My phone is always "on charge" , the icon in the notification bar is the charging one, even widgets are displaying the "on charge"...
the fact is that it's unplugged !!
i've tried removing the battery and the phone didn't turn on, so i put it on charge and it finally did turn on...
After unplugging it again it still shows "on charge". So i turned it off again and this time it showed the battery loading screen, but I can turn it on this time....
Suggestions ?
the phone is working fine now but i smell a major hardware fault....

Sounds like what I had recently.
It started by simply smoking out the USB connector when I plugged the phone in to charge, then it displayed similar symptoms: did not accept charge from the wall wart, the USB-cable worked, but no data transfer was possible. It did show as charging, but the charge animation continued even when I unplugged the phone from the USB, so I assumed it was bogus.
When turned off, it reacted to the AC charger similarly: battery displayed, then the displayed stayed on when I unplugged it.
The repair shop accepted it under warranty, and fixed it, but the repair slip was left unfilled, so I'll never know what they actually did and what the diagnosis was. All I know is that the motherboard was not swapped out, as I retained all my data.

check with Samsung, if you're still under warranty!

Clean the usb port with a dry tooth brush and some compressed air mine does this from time to time as well as others. Also I believe ics has a small charge animation bug or something like that

I've done some cleaning (man, the USB was dirty as hell !), now everything is working fine again except for one thing
when i turn off the phone, it shows the "in charge" icon for about 10 seconds, then it disappears...
could it be an ICS bug ? i'll be relieved if it's just a software bug...

Bad News,
i'm back at square one....
The phone is still showing "on charge" even when unplugged...
And now when i plug the charger in , the phone charghes to 100% in about 5 minutes....
Obviously it goes from 100% to a normal level in a matter of minutes...
I hope it's a battery issue and not a USB fault... gonna try a new battery in the next few days...

Charging problems, please help

Suddenly I'm having charging problems. It's not the cord going bad. It's actually the part that plugs in. If I wiggle it one direction it loses connection.. It also won't fast charge anymore. The other day I'd plug it in and it would say dock connected instead of charging... There's a possibility water or condensation got into the charging port on my phone but I'm not sure. Any ideas on how to fix?

I just started having the same problem a couple weeks ago, it's super finicky now. I was rooted on 5.02 and tried to fix it doing everything I could think of. Finally, ended up using the verizon software utility thinking maybe that could do something since even with my phone powered off, the phone would see the cable plugged in for a second but then would disconnect from it. Everything up to that point seemed to be a hardware issue to me but this seemed to be software or something else and was the reason I chose to use the verizon software. Anyway, using their support software only removed my root and brought me up to marshmallow and that didn't fix anything.
I've done tons of things and nothing has helped. I've just settled on the fact that something hardware has happened even though this began in the middle of the night while the phone was on the charger and untouched. I just ended up going through all my usb cables and found some that work better than others. Some fast charge sometimes others never do. I figure I'll just live with it until I get the S7 or htc 10 or something else.
It's a total mystery to me though as to what happened. The phone wasn't dropped or anything around the time it began doing this, just seemingly came out of nowhere. I do miss not having this problem!

Well, it's weird because if I plug it in and push the charger thing upwards it switches to fast charging.. I guess I'm gonna go buy another USB cable and see if it's the problem. No way am I going through another factory reset too much stuff on my phone.

I wouldn't, didn't do anything for me.
With your phone off, what does the charging do? Every single one of my cables would show that they were plugged in and charging , even the ones that weren't doing anything at all when plugged in to the phone while the phone was booted up, but then immediately would disconnect.

Sometimes you can get dust or lint in the charging port. Turn the off, no power an gently use a needle to try to clean the port.
Hope this helps.

There's also the wireless charging option in the meantime if truly a hardware defect.
