For some strange reason my Sensation 4g running ARHD won't charge. This started 2 days ago when I noticed that charging it overnight did nothing. Before then it was fine.
When I plug it in, the light at the top lights up. My computer recognizes the phone as well. Right now it's sitting at 10% charge, so it's going to die soon. Any ideas?
Tried different cables to charge it with?
you can try cutting the micro usb side and put the black cable in the - and the red one on the +

I have not, since I don't have another cable. Like I said, it charged fine 2 days ago.
Edit: Now it auto shut off after the battery died. I plugged it back in, turned it on and it stays on. What on earth is going on?

If you can get hold of one that's what I would try first.
With my HTC Hero the phone stopped charging one day after charging okay previously and it turned out it was just the cable.
If you have a Kindle, digital camera or another phone it's likely you'll have a compatible cable.
It doesn't charge when plug to your computer?
Alright guys, tried a different cable and now it charges fine. Makes absolutely no sense that a USB cable would just randomly stop working though.
Thanks for all the help!

Idk what the problem is but when I charge my phone no charging indicator comes up, if I leave the screen off for a little bit and turn it back on the number increases as if it is charging also if I turn the phone off and plugin the charger it turns on the phone instead of going to the charging mode, anyone else witnessed this problem? I've tried 3 different chargers and the same thing, tried reformaormatting and installing a different rom and the same thing happens running matrix 19 kernal...please help?

How old is your phone? did you try a new cord? I its not likely that it's the kernel or the rom. It's more likely your usb port
Also never had that happen... I would also say port or cord...
Any themes installed or a flashed battery icon?

No, brand new install...my phone is a year old and its charging just not the way its supposed to, I would really hate to send my phone in, any ideas on how to clean clean the port? I've also tried different chords as well as wall outlets the first time it boots up after a fresh format/install it works perfect as soon as the phone shuts off or reboots it occurs

I found out what it is, I have one of those wall outlet chargers with the USB extension for the chord and I think the wall outlet part of the charger is messed up because I can take the USB chord out of it hook it up to the laptop and the charging icon appears bit still charges with the wall just no charging icon WEIRD

My infuse will not charging and connect the charger does not recognize
Try a different cord, different block?
USB port is know to be weak on these phones and failed for several people.
I like the red ones!

A couple basic things to try and consider to get you started:
Bad battery-try a stand alone charger to see if it will charge. If you know how to use one you can even try a multimeter to check voltage and see if battery is holding a charge
Bad usb cable/port -try a different cable...try several different cables and/or ports on your computer. Try blowing out the dust or debris that may have settled on your usb contacts.

I've had one thing happen in the past that I thought was a charging issue, which turned out not to be. When I went all the way back to stock Froyo, I spent days wondering why the hell it'd only charge when plugged into my PC. Turned out that for some reason, on Froyo, it'd only recognize the official Samsung cable, which happened to be the one I used to sync to my computer. On GB and anything after that, it recognized any cable I used.

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?

Hi guys,
Seems my One X doesn't like the USB port anymore. I'm guessing it's a USB hardware issue but I figured I would post before I call ATT and ask for a new one.
Here's the problem, I'm unable to charge or use USB, either with the phone booted or mounted in recovery. I've tried the official charger, several other chargers and different cables. Nothing seems to work. I plugged it in last night to charge and that was fine. I think what might have caused it is that I tried to charge it in my car with a charger and after plugging that in, my phone rebooted. Since then, nothing has recognized my device (for charging or computers).
Any thoughts or ideas?

Wait, does the LED blink when charging? I used a generic charger, and it did the same thing. Then I switched to an official motorola charger, and it worked fine. Now I found an old HTC charger that I got from a friend..and back to normal.

Hy guys, as you can read my phone suddenly started not to charge. One day i was chatting on whatsapp and suddenly the phone turned off with 5% of battery remaining. Since that moment the phone is not charging. I change the battery and the usb port board but it is still not charging. It recognises that the usb cable is plugged in but it doesn't charge... i tried to charge it while in bootloader, recovery or with the phone turned off.. Nothing worked. I don't want to factory reset it since i have 11% of battery holding at that level thanks to the charger. DO you guys have any ideas? thanks....

Try using stock charger and stock usb cable. I also had the issue stock usb cable fixed it.
I am using the stock charger but my stock cable is destroyed. I have another cable that is really good, I have always used it and I tryed also different cables but still not charging... It just can't stop charging from one moment to another because of the cable, that cable is perfectly fine. Thanks anyway Any other suggestion?

I have someway managed to recover my old original cable but even if it says it's charging the battery is always at 0%. Therefore it's not the cable. Any other possible help??

I know how these things works and I have already tried different chargers and cable and stock ones as well and it is not a problem of charger or cable. Any other useful suggestion?
Make sure that when you replaced the battery, all the cables were clipped back in right.
