Hallo, i have a question about my car battery charger:
I was on ARHD 6.6.3 with Bricked-3.0-v1.31-ics kernel, and all was working fine. My car charger has 2 1000mAh each ports and charged the phone as fast as the wall charger... It was beautyful!
Since I upgraded to my actual configuration (you can see it in signature) when i plug it to the phone a message pops up saying that the battery charger is not recognized as its original charger and to disconnect it because it could harm the device.
Any idea about solving this problem? Did someone experience this problem?
Very strange because I use a car charger that is a simple universal charger not even made for the sensation and I have no problems! I got it at the super market as cheap as They come! Phone has no problem what so ever with it. Perhaps somehow the charger has became incompatible with the device. Which is strange because you said it worked before. I'd get another charger and just use that.universal chargers are very affordable. Very strange how it became incompatible all of a sudden. All I can think is get another charger. Perhaps it was incompatible to begin with but took some time to register the error.

also In my opinion is very strange!
My suspect us that something changed in kernel/ROM/firmware...

Have you tried using a different charger? Does the error persist with different chargers also?? This is something to check. Hopefully it was only within that one particular charger! You should do a experiment and see if error code persists with a different charger? If it does than the issue could be software related. If it does not it might just be incompatibility of that particular charger.

Has anyone else noticed this. I have 4 friends with the TB and all of our phones are noticeably laggy when plugged in and it gets worse as the charge gets more full. If I plug my phone in at 90%+ I have to unplug it just to respond to a text message, other wise I am stuck typing a letter every 2-3 seconds.
I have experienced this on stock ROM, BAMF Remix 1.6 and the GB BAMF I am currently on. Of my friends one is still on stock and sees this. The other two are on GB BAMF.
As an experiment I plugged it into my car charger and when the phone is above 75%ish, it starts to interfere with AM radio signals while charging on the car charger; unplug it, and the radio works fine.
I have had cell phones since 1997 and this is the first I have ever seen of this. Anyone else experiencing this?
Yes, I have this problem as well..I heard it was from using non OEM chargers but I could be wrong

I am using the charger that came with my phone but a 3rd party USB cable (because it is longer). ::shrug:: I can try the original cable when I get home.
thought it was just me...Have same problem when the phone hits around 90 it gets real sluggish and then I have to take it off the charger to get it back to normal. I am on stock and using the charger that came with the phone.

Plugged my USB cable into my Belkin brand iPhone charger and it runs just fine. Did HTC make their chargers out of spec? I don't have the equipmnt to test.
I use the stock equipment HTC boxed with the phone as well as a Verizon car charger and I've never experienced this... I have a rooted friend who uses a 3rd party USB cord, let me cross-reference with him and test a couple different cord/charger configurations to see what happens. But basically I should see my TB start to lock up more and more relative to the charge?

Yeah, it seems related to being close to full charge. I am on an extended battery if that matters at all. On a 3rd party charger I notice it significantly less.
I would say its the extended battery, like I said this has never been a problem for me and my friend and I can't reproduce the issue on either cord, but then again we'really both on the stock battery... Interesting!

Quick fix for this is to reboot your bolt while it's plugged in and charging. One of the new dasbamf roms has the perm fix in it.
I have the same problem on rooted thunderbolt, stock battery, using oem charger as well as 3rd party. it doesnt always happen but often enough that i usually just pull the phone off the charger now if i need to use it.
Heya,
So when my girlfriend plugs her inspire into her laptop it says the phone is using too much voltage/current than what its being provided so it wont charge... Though when i am at her house and charge my vivid with her wall plug i feel like my phone charges a lot more slowly.. Could this be a cable problem for her or an electrical problem?
She lives in a older house so that made me wonder if it could be electrical or something...
I also just recently got it back from HTC because of a dead motherboard and i charged it at my house no problem...
The phone is running WCX Sense 3.5 1.5ghz ROM if that brings any light on the subject
Edit: was a cable/wall charger problem and is fixed
Make sure that you are using the original cable. Some USB cables do not work properly...try using a different one to see what happens

Yeah found out my cable actually charged the phone a lot faster... funny thing is that mine is just a random one i bought at bestbuy xD because of my cable breaking... So weird just going to buy her my cable and call it good
Thanks for your reply
I know for sure that cheap after market chargers (like Chinese ones I know for sure) can fry your phone because of a voltage problem lol

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?

I have an A100 that was given to me by a friend. It works fine when plugged into the charger. It says "battery status unknown" in system settings and when I unplug it it dies of course. My friend says that their dog chewed the charger cord so they put it away in the closet for about a hear and recently bought a new charger. This issue has been a problem ever sense. I'm thinking that the charging circuit may have been fried. I'm not sure however if the charging circuit is built into the battery or the main board. I can order a battery for around $50 but I don't want to spend it if it isn't going to fix the issue. I tried to OTA to ICS but it won't start the install without a battery charge at least 30%. I plan on breaking out my trusty multi-meter later today and testing some voltages at teatbpoints in the mainboard. Any other ideas? Has anyone else experienced this issue??

My A100 does the same thing. It started after I replaced the LCD. I replaced the battery with one from eBay, but it made no difference. The charge may have run down while I was waiting on the LCD, but I don't know for. As far the eBay battery, who knows about that. It could be charging circuit, since two batteries did the same thing. But, now that I think about it, the original showed 3% charge for a while which enabled me to move to another spot and plug it back in.

Wish I could get ahold of a circuit schematic for this thing.....I would construct another charging circuit.

Mine did that a while ago, when still under warranty. Sent to Acer, they fixed that charging circuit. Apparently a common problem. I suspect a regulator chip, but it's a guess.

You could honestly just charge the battery sepretly, and I bet it'd work. You could even, if you're talented enough, strap a bigger battery to it and be able to use it for days.

With my A100 not even recognizing that the battery is plugged in, I doubt charging it separately would make a difference. I just want it to "think" the battery is there and charged to at least 30% so I can apply a few OTA updates and acquire root. I don't mind having to use it while on AC power only. I have a Galaxy Tab 2 that I can carry around.

So randomly wireless charging just stopped working yesterday. Anything i should look for that might lead me to the reason why? Any way that i can test the charger with a multimeter to see if it working?
thanks guys!!
Are you using the genuine wireless charger from Google?

I had this type of problem and found it was caused by overheating. Took my device off the charger and let it cool down then tried again and it worked. After experiencing this issue randomly I gave up on wireless charging and went back to the original USB charger. It is faster and has no overheat issues. Too bad as I really liked wireless charging but inconsistencies and concerns over device damage has led me to abandon that adventure.

Doesn't matter which one he's using as long as it doesn't overheat. (TYLT)

What charger did you use? I'm using the Nokia one (DT-900) and I haven't had any issues for 1.5 years. It worked with the Lumia 920, somewhat with the N4, and great with the N5.
