Charging with different cables - Captivate General

First of all this isn't something I'm worried about resolving really I'm just curious if anyone else has come across this and if you have some insight as to why it is doing so.
Ok so I've been running a couple different ROM's recently and it doesn't seem to be specific to any of them it's happening across the board but normally when I plug into say my PC via USB cable it starts to charge and shows some sort of charging animation in the status bar as well as on the lock screen if I've got it set up as such. However I have a particular wall charger that if I plug it into I get no sort of normal indication that I am charging. The only way it shows is if I go into settings>battery and then it will show that I'm charging. I use it daily and it charges my phone without problem. I'm just curious why that one charger does what it is doing. I've used other wall chargers and they show the animations but not this one particular one...

HELP!!! Charging reboot issue?

Hey Everyone,
I have myself the Nexus S and at one time I could charge the device without it being powered on, obviously for a faster charge.. But as of now the phone boots itself on once the charger is plugged in. Has anyone seen this, or had this issue?
weird, no, i have not seen that issue
which ROM are you running?
i can power off the phone, and charge, and see the WHITE charging battery icon with the white bars
Ok,this is strange. I just pulled the battery and tried a different charger and now the device works as it did previously, which is allowing me to charge without the device being turned on. Is this am issue I should be worried about or just a minor glitch?
I'm not running any custom ROM. The phone is completely STOCK. That's why I was a little puzzled
The chargers I'm using are different though. One is a straight ACDC micro charger,and the other is a charger that uses a USD to connect to a charging module.

[Q] [HELP] Tablet/Dock not charging

Seems I probably have an issue with the charging cable for the tablet. Cannot get the dock or tablet to show any signs of charging. Unfortunately, none of the stores in my area report having a replacement cable.
Does anyone know another ASUS or non-ASUS device that uses the same end? If I can't find something else then no tablet until I can get a new one off the net which really sucks.
I was able to get the wall charger to at least light up the dock LED and act like it is charging. However, no matter what I do can't get the tablet to turn on. Doesn't matter if it is docked and charging that way or charging straight.
Any suggestions?

USB port damaged?

I have looked around on this topic before posting, but nothing applies to what im experiencing
Up until this morning, I haven't had a single issue with my USB port or charging in general.
I clean flashed Purity KitKat, flashed compatible Uber kernel and installed my apps as one usually do, and let the phone charge for a while. A few hours later, I realized my battery was at 0%. I started panicking, looking for a USB replacement part, which I found for about $12 on Amazon. I decided I would download GSAM battery monitor to see if there was an issue with my charging cable.
What I saw was the mA flow was acting erratic, sometimes shooting from -700ma (yes, that's negative 700) all the way up to 1800mA. Even by just rotating the screen, it would drop instantly. . The phone charges, but a little at a time. I disabled KSM and fast charge which seemed to have a positive effect.
I'm not sure what caused this, or how to fix it, but I've attached a couple pictures to give you an idea of what I'm seeing. If it is in fact the USB port, would using a Qi charger be a good option or should I just go ahead and dismantle the phone and replace the USB port?
Note: windows still recognizes the phone and I can send files from the computer, and the charging bolt is showing.
Have you replaced the cable? Far more common for the cable to crap out then the port. Cheap or broken cables will appear to work, computer will detect phone and even display a charging indicator but it won't actually charge. Had happened to me in the past.

Yeah I've tried numerous chargers including my car charger. They all charge, but it took 12 hrs from 0 to 100

Try flashing the stock rom to rule that variable out. If you want to be sure that is the usb port you could try with a wireless charger as it could also be the battery, you can find a new one at the same price range of the port.
It does seems a lot like what happened when both the stock charger and the cable were damaged. I tried to charge the phone and when disconnected it had less charge.

Wireless Charger - Pauses / Flashing Blue

I have an S7 and the Samsung Fast Charge Wireless pad.
It has been working for a couple of months, and now suddenly it will not charge.
When I put my S7 on the pad it initially starts to charge, and then I get a message saying "Wireless Charging Paused" with a blue flashing LED.
I have googled around and for the S6 people mentioned that putting the phone in "daydream mode" fixes this problem, but I dont have this option on the S7.
Has anyone encountered/solved this issue?
For anyone else having this issue...
I googled around and tried 10 different suggestions, none of which worked. A lot of people seem to be having this type of issue.
Then, I unplugged the USB cable from my wireless pad, waited a few seconds and plugged in again. VOILA. That worked.
Sometimes the answers are so simple....
I also have a Samsung Fast Charge Wireless stand with the Samsung fast charge wall charger and cable that it came with, and a Galaxy S7 Edge. I have never had this issue before, but since upgrading to Nougat a couple of weeks ago this seems to be happening frequently (wireless charging paused). I tried removing the slim case (which I never had to before), rebooting the phone, vertical or horizontal, and it had no impact. I also found that unplugging the wireless dock and then back in again fixed the issue. I don't have this issue with the older non-fast Samsung wireless charging pad (small square one). I am guessing there is some new battery/charging protection in Nougat that is a bit buggy and causing the stand to wig out until unplugged.
This happens to me and is why Smasung makes the worse wireless chargers ever. Won't ever go near a Samsung charger again. I bought a new and cheaper third party wireless fast charger and it charges every time with no charging paused issue, so there's obviously quality control issues with Samsung chargers and they never seem to fix the issue. People need to save their money and buy anything but a Samsung charger
Wireless Charging of Samsung 6 edge+
I got a Samsung wireless charger a year or so ago and at first it worked fine. After a while I got tired of walking across my office every time the phone rang. I moved the wireless charger from the Samsung wall charger to a USB port sharing device on the computer. Admittedly I never looked at the notification on the phone when it chimed, I assumed it was charging whenever it chimed. It took a while (I must be slow) but I started noticing that the phone was not always (or perhaps ever) charging. However, It also didn't seem like it was chiming each time I put the phone on the wireless charger, like I wasn't putting the phone exactly where it needed to be. When I moved the USB plug around in the socket,the power chime was going off and on. Even when it gave the chime indication that it was properly receiving power, I (finally) noticed the phone showed "Charging Paused". I assumed it was due to a plug problem on the adapter. To solve that problem I moved the USB cord to a direct port on the computer but kept getting the "charging paused" message. Out of frustration, I moved the wireless charger back to the Samsung wall charger. Immediately the phone chimed and indicated that it was charging normally. So perhaps the power from the USB port is not high enough to consistently charge the phone through the wireless charger?
Solved
I had this same issue with my Samsung wireless charger.
For anyone having the issue, here is the solution that worked for me.

Android 10 Charging Issues

I have a T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro that I converted to the international firmware and recently got Android 10. Everything has mostly been good except since the upgrade I've noticed that a lot of the power adapters I have around the house just aren't charging the device. I'll plug my phone in and the battery icon will show a charging symbol, but the lock screen won't show that it's charging. Curiously, I have my phone set to display a clock as a screensaver only when charging, and that will activate when plugged in, so the phone definitely thinks it's charging. Two of the chargers were from my old Pixel 2 XL, and over the weekend I bought a third, brand new charger that initially seemed to work but I woke up this morning and my phone hadn't charged at all. Tried multiple outlets in the house and it's the same story. I have the Warp Charger at my desk at work and haven't had any issues with that.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I am experiencing this too. As are a few others on the OP Community forums. If you look into the battery settings it will say "plugged in- can't charge" or something like that. With the USB plugged in and rebooting the device it will start charging. Others have said a roll-back to Pie will fix the issue, but other than that no solution yet. I think the issue has been more with alternative cables. Using the stock brick and cable should work still.
I am having the same issue. My MacBook and pixel chargers used to charge my phone but as the person above mentioned now says my phone is plugged in and unable to charge. So it essentially maintains the phone at the same percentage indefinitely.
Using the original OnePlus charger works. I'm assuming this is a bug OnePlus needs to work out with Android 10 as this wasn't the case with Pie.
I'm in the same boat. It's driving me NUTS. The same USB C cables worked just fine on Pie. Now it's almost every single time I plug my phone in it says "Plugged in, but can't charge" or something like that.
Here how I fixed the problem on my Oneplus 7 pro running android 10
Same thing happened to me. It was very annoying, so I test many usb cables. I found out that the issue is with the usb cables not from the charger.
So I enabled developer options, and I went to the debugging section and I enabled USB debugging option. And all the USB cables started working and my phone started charging ?.
I turned off the USB debugging and it's still charging.
Hope this method will work with you guys.
I had assumed it had something to do with Android 10's new features regarding USB security and preventing USB based attacks and exploits, but I figured that Android would show some notification about it being turned on whenever USB was plugged in. At least I know I'm not alone in this, I was scared my phone might have been going bad.
