Charging glitch?

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

[Q] stock, unrooted one x battery problem..help?

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?

[Q] Battery not charged but discharged

I have been searching for this issue but still cannot find any solution.
My tab cannot be charged even with the official charger and cable.
After U plugged in the cable, the battery icon appeared with a lightning symbol
However the battery level didn't increase but declined gradually
I have tried to reflash the rom with full wipe several time yet it didn't help
I have also calibrated the battery. It doesn''t help neither.
It results in sometime it works well but sometime does not.
The attached files are from currentwidget and system setting.
(I know that some how currentwidget is not working well with my tab...)
Could anyone suggest the solution to it?
Model:N8000
Rom:Revolution HD V5.1(4.1.2)
P.S.I dont know whether it is related to the rom or my charger/cable/tab so I post it here.

Test
Power off
Connect to power adaptor charge to 100%.
Fails to charge within five hours then faulty cable faulty charger or faulty battery .

Sounds like a faulty cable can you get another usb cable plug it into the original charger to test.
That will tell you if the cable is at fault.

Thank you JJEgan and hygradeb. I also think the cable is the problem because I cannot have my tablet charged with my portable charger as it used to. I am looking for a stock USB cable in days and report the result to here. Thanks for your advice:good::fingers-crossed:

[Q] Nexus charging issue

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has the same issue as me when using the original accessories to charge my phone through the wall socket?
When i charged it, it just always shows charging (USB) inspire of plugging it into the wall, anyone knows why?
Is it the phone or the charger?

anyone?

It shows that because yes it is charging
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

I understand what you mean, but shouldn't it show something like charging (ac)? instead of charging (usb)?
It also takes damn long long to charge my phone for the first time. About 4 hrs to hit 90+% from 0.
Thanks

There's another thread about charging, currently on the second page of this forum. But yes, it should show AC if plugged into a wall outlet with the original charger.

Hey, yea. I saw that thread, but none had the same problem as me and I would like to find out why it shows charging (usb)

long charging time

Hi, i know this subject is already exists in here, but it still have no answer. My sensation need 6 - 8 hours to fully charge from 10% to 100%, is there someone can help me to solved my problem?
This happen everyday, so don't ask me to remove the battery and try again because i've tried it.

Are you charging your mobile via a charger connected to a power outlet or are you charging via usb connected to a pc? How old is your battery?

it is a common HTC's issue after rooting the device
everyone has percentage mireadings while charging the device

Has it always been like that or started happening? When mine started doing that I replaced my battery, charging times went back to normal and battery life was a lot better also.

It happens to me with my original battery which I think is dead because it lasts not much time. Buy on my anker battery it charges really fast, with the same charger. So the problem is your battery I think, as on mine

What rom are you using. Sometimes my sense 5 rom misreads ac for usb and charges damn slowly.
Happy to help.

If your charging via usb connected to pc then charging will be half day, its because usb port is for data sending and not charging, so USB outputs very low volt charge and so device like phone charges so slow
If your charging with adapter into AC outlet, you could check if your using right cable(there are data cables where there are little wires inside so again it cannot output that power to the device and there is cables for data+charge with bigger cables inside)
P.S. Stock HTC cable provided is not the best wire....
Mine sensation is charging about 2h40min from discharge(10% - 6%) to full charge(100%)

It's already happened for along time.
When first purchase it is not like that.
I've replace the battery, but not with original one nor anker, and the charging time become faster about 1 hour than before
