I bought a car charger on Amazon. Yesterday I plugged my skyrocket into it and something weird happened. Somehow the charger acted as a jig and put my phone into download mode. Scared the piss out if me. Fortunately I was able to reboot with no harm done.

Nice lol. To bad it wasnt a usb cable lol then youd be on to something
I had a charger make my touch screen not respond. Plugged my girlfriends inspire into it and it did the samething.

I had a charger scare, too
In a sleepy state, I plugged my Skyrocket in to my nearby charger. When I woke up, I realized it wasn't my charger, but my daughter's Kindle Fire charger (still microUSB). I read the output: 5V, 1.8A. That's significantly more than the Skyrocket's wall charger. But my Skyrocket seems none the worse for it.
Haha this happens to me too...anytime i am plugged in to a power source and try power in to cwm it goes into dload mode

Are you plugged into a wall socket? If you are trying to charge through USB from a computer, it won't charge unless in sleep mode. Even then it will charge slowly.
Plugged into a wall socket atm.. iv tried from a computer I don't get a charging icon like I used 2

this will sounds bad but.... check the usb connection to the plug, as the way its made you can actully push the usb into the plug the wrong way around....
Tried all plugs don't work and yes its the right way round

Just got it from Amazon and I have the same issue and still not able to figure out how to fix it. My Transformer is lying there without charging. Planning to return it to Amazon.
Right I just got mine working... try this pull the plug apart and put it back together now squueze them together as tight as you can and try that. Its working for me now ..

It just doesn't work. How is the usb cable connected to your adapter? It just gets in both ways.
Can you send me a picture of how the three parts are fit into each other?
its only suppose to go in one way, just like conncting any USB devices. But tried that, dissemble the adaptor and put them together, it actually happened to me once too, did exactly that and everything fixed. Remember you gotta squeeze pretty hard to put the two pieces together.
Thanks guys, its working. But this is ridiculous, you have to do a dumbbell roll to fix battery plug
i cant get it too charge and i just got it in the mail. why the hell it even come with this wack ass plug in the first place. what a horrible first impression!
I suggest you dont even use it, its dangerous. Mine melted the first day I got it. I went to bestbuy and got a replacement that works great. It charges at 11 volts/1.5 amps

Yes, I had this problem with mine too.
It seems to be a common issue:

This seriously works?
I just hope the voltage is right... I've tried different adapters for my phone and then my phone started acting weird (like it didn't take calls and would freeze at times). Replaced the adapter and it returned to normal again.
My TF adapter also gets really hot when charging.
Thanks for the recommendation.
I put some petroleum jelly on the metal prongs and smashed it on the counter a few times AFTER snapping it in.
Unfortunately I did them at the same time and didn't test in between so i don't know which if either or possibly both fixed it but mine is finally ****ing charging.
What a headache. I'm really bothered by ASUS for issuing such a faulty component.
I'm probably going to pick up that dynex tomorrow, because I just KNOW this will break again and mysteriously lodge itself into my drywall.
I just had the problem and discovered that the 5 forward pins on the power adapter are apparently quite easily deformed.
The charger is dual output, 5v and 15v.They use a USB3 connector, with the 15v quick charge output on those pins. I expect that they use the old USB 2 pins behind them to supply 5v for a slow charge, and PC data/charge connection.
Just prior to this, I had tried using an extension USB3 cable on it, so that I could use it while charging, and I suspect that was just enough to deform a couple of the 5 pins in the charger, and I got no charge at all from it, even after putting it back to normal. After an hour, the charger was still cold, and no indication of charging on either the tablet or with the table and keyboard attached.
With a good light and strong magnifier, I could see that a couple of the pins (of the 5 in the front) looked a bit recessed compared to the others, and carefully used the tip of a very fine needle to lift all of them just slightly. Having done that, the charger came to life when I plugged it back in, and the TF is indicating that it is charging.
I don't know how solid or permanent the fix will be, but it is working for me now.
...but the USB is charging fine. If I charge via USB for a bit, it will then allow AC charging (indicator changes to charging) for a limited amount of plugins (so far just 2 or 3). Power cycling and swapping batteries had no effect. Anybody else seen this yet?
I've got my own Infuse and it's not affected in the same way. Pretty sure I'll take hers back and trade it for a new one. I suspect this is just a fluke hardware issue, but being as we're all on the bleeding edge wih the Infuse it wouldn't hurt to share/ask.

Try charging it if you have an iPhone iPod charger. Might be just he AC adapter

true, good thinking. also, he could try charging his infuse on her charger
Tried it on my A/C adapter with same results.
Kept the cord in the phone and just moved the big usb end to the computer and same results.
At least it's reproduceable on her phone... I'll be swapping it out later today.

Did you ever sort this out or just swap it?
i had a similar issue, but my phone also though it was connected to a computer. i did a factory reset and flashed to stock to bring it back tothe store and te phone stopped giving me trouble. now it seems the usb connector may be the problem and the factory reset seeming to fix it was maybe just a coincidence. if i plus some usb cords into it it will go into usb debugging connected mode if it is not lined up strait.
I swapped it out. New one has been fine.

My friend threw her phone on charge for the whole night and woke up this morning to find her battery level low. This isn't the first time it happened either. What could cause this?
P.S. the screenshot was taken right after the phone was pulled off the charger

Try a different charger? Also, if the phone was charged by USB, use the wall charger instead. Some USB ports may cut power when the computer is asleep, etc. For instance, I usually connect my phone to my PC using the USB ports on my monitor (just because they are conveniently located). Those ports get shutdown when the computer goes to sleep, which I always forget.

Well she plugs into the wall, never the computer. And the charger she uses is the charger that came w/ the phone. If its the charger that could possibly be the issue then I'll tell her to get it swapped out at an at&t store but I really don't think that's the issue honestly

Chargers can definitely just crap out, even if new. MicroUSB chargers are pretty common, and I've used ones for other devices (like my Motorola Bluetooth headset) on my One X just fine. If you have another MicroUSB charger laying around, its worth checking (just to eliminate the charger as the cause) rather than having to run to the store.
Otherwise, its possible there is something wrong with the microUSB jack on the phone itself, or some other hardware or software problem with the phone. If the charger is not the problem, backup personal data and factory reset the phone. If the problem still occurs, I'd recommend getting a warranty replacement.

Can you confirm that there was a "lightning bolt" in the battery icon in the status bar? If it's charging, there should be a lightning bolt in it. Check when you plug in the charger and just before unplugging it. If the lighting bolt is missing then most likely there is no current going into the device to charge the battery. It could also be a bad battery if the charger is working fine.

Are you absolutely sure the power outlet was switched on? May seem like a silly question but I've done it before.

Yes there was definitely a lightning bolt when it was on. And is it possible to wipe the battery stats even if the phones not rooted?

When plugged into the charger the white light comes on for a minute or two then goes out. Xoom wont charge. Even tied using the standard dock.
When i boot into Rsd it says

It will boot into android but battery shows 0%. Shuts off once you unplug it
Opened the xoom up and all looks good inside
When I bought it off ebay a came with a aftermarket charger. The charger would get really hot, I wonder if it ruined the battery overtime

I had this same problem. It seems on the new kernel it won't charge on anything less than the factory charger and cable. This initially didn't work for me either so I detached the powerpoint bit from the rest of the charger and reattached it firmly and it started charging again. I saw a suggestion on another forum to put the charger in a air tight bag and chuck it in the freezer for 30 minutes, I didn't need to do this and can't understand why it would work but worth a go if nothing else works.
