[Q] Phone not bricked but can't charge/use USB - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

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.

Sounds like a driver issue if yu could still charge. Did you try it with any other computers?

For anyone that's curious, att is sending me a warranty replacement. Hopefully they don't take issue with my unlocked boot loader *oops*

Sensation won't charge.

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!

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
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2
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?

TF101 is not charging, help me please

My TF101 is not chranging, whether I plug it to a PC, or to an AC connector...please help me, I don't know what to do...://
My wife's Transformer won't charge either. Tried multiple chargers and nothing. Weird thing is she can plug it into the dock and it charges. Only way she can do it. PC won't recognize it either.
Good chance your port is bad. Try it in the keyboard dock if you can and see if it charges.
Aslo it may be broken sync-charge cable. Try other one. I had similar problem with sync (tablet didn't recognized by PC), that was solved with new cable
The PC recognizes the TF, but not charging...and the dock doesn't charges as well...now I have EOS 4 ROM on the TF and in the status bar it shows, that it's charging but in Menu>Battery it shows that it isn't...and it isn't...it only charging in APX mode, but after a whole night on the charger it is on 22%...WTF? Any helps appriciated...
The dock isn't depending on rom and etc. IMO If charger and cable are fine that one should get charge.
Another vote on broken cable, I've had thhe same issue, was resolved with a new cable, seems to be something up with them, they seem last about a year and half and break.

Pixel won't charge until rebooted.

I'm experiencing a weird issue with my Pixel. Occasionally, I'll plug the phone into the OEM charger and it won't charge at all. Trying different outlets doesn't solve the issue but as soon as I reboot the phone and plug it in, it charges just fine. It's a strange issue I haven't encountered with any previous phone. Curious if others have experienced this?
Exact same issue here over the last few days.

Did you tried to switch from another adapter ?

In my case, I have a 2nd charger from SONEic that is an approved USB-C to USB-C that works flawlessly. However, like the OP said, my Google charger will ding like it's charging once connected, then stop charging 1 second later. It will repeat that endless dinging ever few seconds until I reboot it. Never happens with my SONEic charger. Once rebooted, the Google charger works fine. Very annoying.
I've tried unplugging everything, turning the cable around, etc., Only a reboot works.

I had this problem of start/stop/start charging with a reliable 1A charger and a usb A-to-C cable. A reboot would fix it. I ended up switching to another 2.4A charger (not QC) I had around with the same cable and have had no problems since. I still use the smaller charger on an old media phone.

The problem is, though, that we are experiencing this with the Google charger that came with the phone and NOT secondary chargers. Wonder if the charger is defective...?

Yeah, it's with the OEM charger. I am starting to think the charger is to blame. Unfortunately, I don't have a secondary fast charger to test with. However, I just updated my phone to the latest NDE63V build. I'll be monitoring closely over the next few days to see if the issue pops up with the OEM charger again or if the software update solves it.

I have the Google unlocked version. I unlocked my bootloader right after unboxing the phone, as I do with all my Nexus (now Pixel) devices.
This issue has gone away for me with yesterday's update.

Yeah, it's been a couple of days now since updating to NDE63V and haven't had any charging issues since. Crossing my fingers that it really was just a software issue. Time will tell.
Woke up to 35% this morning plugged into stock charger not charging. Plugged into an Anker Power Port 4 and viola' it charges. Found this thread, rebooted and stock charger works again. Verizon on build NDE63X. Don't know when the update came down.
Exactly the same ^^^
I had an issue where no charger could be reversed in my phone. The C cable would only charge it in one orientation. I RMAd the phone and got a new one. Now, I have this same issue where the phone will charge and stop a few times and then start charging with the OEM brick and cable. Works fine with the OEM brick and a different cable I got from Amazon. Even works fine with the OEM cable and my computer with a USB C port. I think it might be the OEM brick.
Just had this issue happen to me for the first time today. OEM charger, won't charge until I reboot the phone. When I use my samsung fast charging brick no issues.
Brand new pixel 128gb... Charged fine with the USB a-c charger but got this weird issue with the stock charger and cable ... Phone is only 2 days old... Seems software related... As stated... Reboot fixes it... I notice most people on Google issued pixels were fixed in last update... Maybe Verizon is behind on this
Verizon pixel build nde63x...
Mine has done this also. It was a problem on the Verizon build. I have since unlocked the bootloader and gone to the Google latest version and it still has the issue. I asked a friend if he had this issue and he said no but he had that issue on his Nexus phone.
I think the OEM charger is too loose. I've had that issue before (at work). Plug it in, it looks like it's charging, check it a few mins later and its not. If I push the cable in firmly it'll charge.
I have a Samsung USB C adapter that I've been using with one of my old chargers (at home) and I haven't had a single issue with it. I ordered 10 cheap USB C adapters off eBay. I'm hoping they work just as well. I have a bunch of Turbo chargers that I've accumulated from other phones so hopefully I can convert all of them and keep using them.... And still be able to charge older devices.

Are you using the same charger every time? Try using the USB cord that came with the phone and a different wall block.
