[Q] Battery or Charging Port - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Recently my Phone has been charging but it doesn't read as charging like, the little battery on the top right doesn't say charging and the status doesn't say charging, but the battery life still goes up.
Mind you that it only really charges on a computer, also it doesn't read usb mode.
I think the problem is the charging port but I'm thinking it could be the battery.
Anyone have any similar issue or ideas of what it could be.

Samsung i780 Charging Fault!?

Hi,
Can't seem to figure out whats wrong with my i780 so was wondering if anyone here has experienced similar problems.
My i780 don't seem to charge anymore when using the charging plug (plug it in, no charging light or charging symbol.. etc..)
Plug it in through USB, phone charges fine (charging light comes on, charging symbol displayed)
Now, I thought, oh must be the plug, so I tested it using the charging case... charging light comes on battery charges fine!!??
I would just forget about the plug but I can't seem to get a full charge just through USB.
So if my phone charges by USB, plug not working on the phone, but works with the charging case what could be wrong???
Anyone have any suggestions?
my i780 always show charg icon after upgrade...what the probem??????????/
i had the same problem as you. i sorted it out though. Do you mostly charge through the external charger?
i just kept on leaving it on charge for about an hour or so. Soft resetted the phone while on charge and then it worked fine. LED went on and the whole lot.
Try to charge your phone at least once a week with the battery in the phone. I can't prove that charging almost exclusively through the external charger does this but i have a suspicion. That is the only unusual thing about my usage pattern.
Has anyone had the same problem

[Q] Defect Battery?

I am not sure what the problem is, so maybe someone can help me.
I have a tf101 whit docking not rooted or anything.
The battery is drained 1% I can start the tabled and it shuts down, exactly what you would expec. When i plug in the adapter directly in the docking or tablet alone. it does not say charching. When i leave the charger in the tablet it is actualy charching(over night it is 30%), but it is not saying that it is charging. When the battry is 30% and i leave the charger in and start up the tablet the battery drains to zero.
I have tried multiple cables and chargers and all simulair.
Anyone?
I just found out that it is charching whit the original charger again. Maybe the charger has been the issue over all.
For now the tablet is charging again and problem looks OK again I still think it is a combo of battey getting bad and bad charger.

[Q] Keeps charging at 100%

Hello,
When I charge my Nexus 5, the battery icon keeps on showing it is charging even so the battery is at 100%. Also my USB charger (not the one LG one) indicates that the device is still charging. Is this normal ? Would this damage the battery ?
Thanks
It's normal.

Thanks ! (But i just find this weird as I expected a device to stop at 100%)
I understand what you're saying but it's not a charging icon, it's a connected to power icon. If you were to use something like the dashclock extension it would show that it actually stopped charging once it reached 100%
Thanks for the reply.
The thing is that I have this charger http://www.portablepowersupplies.co.uk/portapow-quad-usb-mains-charger/) and the LED indicates charging (albeit I did not measure the current ).
Nice unit!
Are you connected to WiFi while charging? I had the really bad battery drain issue while connected to WiFi after the 4.4.2 update. I lost about 30% of charge after 4ish hours while connected. Currently I'm at 92% after 3 hours.
The WiFi battery drain could be causing your phone to not fully charge or at the very least make your charger THINK it's not fully charged. No harm should come of it either way but it's always best to pull your phone off the charger once it gets to 99-100%
Thanks for the reply. I had Wifi activated; it might be the reason.
My wireless charger LED didn't shut off when my N5 was charged in a powered off state. Usually it does once the battery is full.
That said, I don't think it's over-charging the battery, as that would be really bad

Don't worry about it. This isn't the 2000s where constant charging is an issue.
Just tried with the Wifi Off. My USB charger then indicates that the unit is not charging.
Thanks for the replies and great help.
Don't worry about it. The charger isn't the thing that determines how charging is handled, it's all done on the phone side. The phone knows how to take and stop taking power.
In the case of the Nexus 5, it most-likely stops charging the battery but continues using the power from the charger to actually power the unit (thereby no-longer using the battery to run the device, but not charging it any longer).

[Q] Wont charge when plugged in

Hello.
I have a new Moto g 4g and sometimes when I plug it into the mains to charge the charging battery icon appears and the phone says charging on the lock screen. But as soon as the % number should go up (i.e. after a couple of mins on charge), the battery charge icon is still there but the phone no longer says charging on the lock screen, and it doesn't charge no matter how long it is plugged in for (although the battery doesnt drain either).
I turned the phone off and plugged it in and when it got to the charge screen it kept flicking between a question mark, and the percentage charged amount.
It seems to always charge fine when I plug it into a USB on my computer (although slowly).
Has anyone else seen this? Is it worth completly draining the battery and charging from flat, or would this do more harm than good?
Thanks for the help.

did u try a different charger?

Live battery charge percentage indicator ?

Hello! I need a little help finding an app or a tweak if any exists.
I have samsung galaxy tab(GT-P3110), the charging port is totally destroyed, so now the only way to charge the battery is to directly charge it. I opened the back of the device and extended two wires (+) and (-) from the battery socket and then put back the cover. So now I charge the device by connecting those two wires sticking out of the device with the stripped end of a usb cable.
I know this way of charging is damaging the battery or inappropriate, but atleast i'm able to use the device than just uselessly throwing it away.
When i use the device, there is no real way to say how much charge is remaining. Even if the device is charging, the device shows that the charge is decreasing like as if it wasn't charging but it is. and once i reboot, it shows the real increased charge %.
So i wanna know, is there anything i can do to get real battery stats while the tablet is still on?
