Why?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
A) Youre charging from a USB port which doesnt supply much power so if you use the phone while its charging the phone drains faster than it charges.
B) Youre using a charger that was originally intended intended for low power devices like bluetooth headsets in which case the same reason already given applies.
Also, wrong section.
Sorry, also I'm using the charger it came with but I'm using 2 USB extention cables

i would imagine that it would probably be one of those extensions that is slowing it down because it cannot handle the AMPs. see which one is "hot" and thats probably the one.
Ill try, thanks

What's the purpose of the extention? If you're trying to find a good place for wireless tethering, that could very well be draining your batteries.
Is there anything else you can try charging with the current setup for comparison?

I have a rooted skyrocket running stock rom and when I am charging and using it at the same time the touch screen goes crazy. Has anyone experienced this and what can I do to fix it?
Like it'll lag to unlock? Or get stuck/freeze on the lockscreen?

I'll be scrolling website and it will select instead of scroll or be brousing through photos and instead of going to the next pic the current one will zoom. When I'm typing a email or text it puts the wrong lettoer up or don't space. The screen just does crazy things.
It only does it when its charging because when I unplug it the crazyness stops
Same here. My phone has a mind of its own when charging. Off the charge and its fine..

What charger are you using? I think this is revered to as a "grounding issue"
I notice it when using really powerful chargers
1a and lower don't seem to cause the issue

Listen to the cube when it's plugged in.. If you hear a high pitched whine you need to have at$t replace your charger and possibly your battery.. At the least your charger, battery is just a hey give me something.

Guy I bought my SR from had three of them and had to have all of his chargers replaced twice.. One of them three times until he got good ones.. And the one he gave me wasn't good.. I ended up using my i777 charger and throwing the cube one away.

Yesterday I was off charger for 4 hours, plugged in my phone and got the signal that my phone was fully charged. Now five minutes off the charger and I am down 2 percent.
In addition, I ran Tunein Radio, and Navigation and I was losing 5 percent of battery an hour, even though I was plugged into a charger. Thoughts?

What amperage is your charger my boy are you using the stock one from the SR or not if you are is it making a high pitched noise if your not again amperage is important if your using anything under 1amp it might not charge if your using your phone especially
Also navigation and radio are super intensive cheap ass charger wont charge make sure you get a good 1 or 2 amp charger

Okay. With the LG Rev, and a Rom, we could easily get by with stock.
Lots to learn about Sammys

I was using navigation, hence I was driving. Sorry, I didn't mention it clearer. I have a 400ma charger. Time to upgrade that too.

This video shows the phone wasn't charging when it was unplugged
What's the point of having to plug in the wireless orb, isn't it supposed to be wireless
Just confused here

How else you going to get power from the wall?
It charges the phone without wires thus a wireless charger....

Not sure if serious.
It runs on 4 AA batteries. They charge the phone for an hour and then need to be changed.

Best thread ever.
As the title says my phone isn't charging properly. I know it's not the charger itself because my gf uses it also and it works just fine for her. I've bought a new battery and it hasn't made a difference either. My phone this morning after 4 hrs in the charger has only gone up 5% this problem has been going on for weeks now. Im hoping someone here has an idea what's wrong.

Last thing it could be is a hardware issue, either a bad connection or somethings wrong with the charging connection to the battery.
Could also be a bad USB cable, if it's going bad it won't hold a good connection very well.
If you're out of warranty then your best option would be to buy a external battery charger and an extra battery, not ideal, but at least you'll have a way to use your phone.

I know, so it isn't a problem with your battery or charger or USB cable, then it has to be your phone, but it's impossible to know for sure what's wrong. You might be able to fix it by replacing the charging port, or it could be a bad connection from the charging port to the motherboard, or it might be a bad connection from your battery to your charging prongs...
Could be a number of issues. If you're under warranty still then send it in to Samsung, if you're out of warranty then search around and see if you can get it repaired for a reasonable price, swapping batteries will also work for the meantime.

I've only had my phone for a few months so it should still be under warranty. Do I call up Verizon and they take care of it?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yes, they will try to troubleshoot it but by the looks of it you've tried everything. They will just send you another phone. As long as your current one doesn't have any physical damage or water damage

Exactly, if Verizon won't help you then Samsung will. Try Verizon first, you definitely deserve a new phone.

So if I use the original usb cable that came with the device my phone will charge in about 3 or 4 hours. But if i use any after market usb cables it takes 5 to 6 hours I'm trying find our what is the difference between the two cables. Keep in mind I'm using the same oem charger with both cables.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Your stock charger is 2 amps the ones you are using are most likely 1 amp. You need to find other ones that are 2 amps also.
No I'm using the white 2 amp charger. I have narrowed it down to the cable I'm trying to see if there is something diffrent.

Charge only cables vs Charge and data cables. Has been thoroughly discussed in the forums. Go buy a charge only cable and you will see the fastest charging. Just don't try to use it for data. Guage of wires also has a lot to do with how much current can be carried.
