For the last 2 nights, my Nexus 5 has managed to lose power in stead of charging, see screenshot. I have no idea why the battery is draining when it is supposed to be charging. Also the phone is getting quite warm (about 40 degrees or higher).
Please give me a hint how I can solve this.

It could possibly be Kernel related. try flashing Stock kernel and see if the issue still exists

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
Brings me to the following question: how come that when I use the charging cable that came with the phone, batterystats show Charging AC, and when I use the same cable but with an USB extension cord, the stats show Charging USB? Could that be the faulty cable?
I have no other extension cable at hand now,so... Maybe somebody could try this as well?

Kernal issue try going back to stock
Went back to stock kernel and did a factory reset. That solved the problem.

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:
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%)

Hello!
Recently, my phone has been charging very slowly. When I first got my phone, it went from zero to 100% in ~2.5 hours, but now it takes about 5 hours to fully charge. I am currently using the stock charger and USB cable that came with the phone, and I have tried other cables and chargers to ensure that it wasn't my charger's fault (or my USB cable). I also tried flashing the stock rom and kernel, but the problem was persistent. Could it be a defective battery that is causing this problem?
My current settings:
Mahdi Rom 4.4.3 6/12
Stock kernel settings (no UV, OC)
No partial wakelock problem
Thanks!

Take a look at the charging levels.. While charging via a wall charger it should be between 800-1050 mA.. If it's below that, it's most probably a low standard usb cable or a charger.. Try changing the cable first and check the current.
I'm getting around 600mA so that's not good.. I'll try another charger and see what goes. Thanks!

FYI, I am currently using the stock charger and cable that came with the phone and still getting low mA. I just tried different cables and chargers and the result comes out the same. What else can I do?

Aah.. That's not good. In the OP I see that you have already tried going back to stock and checking the results?
May be you could try a different wall socket in your home? You could also try charging via a computer and see whether it's getting charged properly? (Fast charge needs to be enabled for this)

i charge slow on the stock charger/cable as well. i ended up buying a 5amp charger with two usb holes and a better usb cable, now i charge from 0 to 100 in about an hour and a half.
Thanks for your help, guys! Turns out most of the cables I own are faulty/below standard. I found a cable later that charged my phone at around 800mA. I guess I'll do some cable shopping later

Could it be something to do with custom ROM settings? Stock charger and cable should be able to pull 800-1000mA from a power outlet, I can't understand why some devices wouldn't be able to do so.

No. The only thing that would influence charge speeds is USB fast charge (charges faster on USB, AC still the same) and that's a kernel level feature.

Something that was overlooked was temperature. IIRC at higher temperatures the phone either stops charging or slows down charging in order to keep the heat down. This was done to preserve the life of the battery as charging batteries while they're hot could degrade the battery.

no. ive found in the past(with the n4), the default cable/charger also went bad quick, ended up using a nexus 7 charger/cable on it.
Does anyone else have an issue with fast charging? I am using the original cable/charger that came in the box and I have to unplug/replug it in anywhere from 2-6 times for it to register as fast charging, sometimes more. I have also tried using the charger that came with my Note 4, same issue. Tried using a different wall outlet, same issue. I noticed a thread on Android Central references this same issue but as that is not purely T-Mobile brands, it's hard to gauge where the issue comes from.
Anyone else experiencing this?
If the usb isn't fully plugged in to the adapter, it won't fast charge. I haven't had any issues fast charging with the included charger or the note 4 charger.

I'm currently running ForeverLoco's ROM but I was running stock (both BOH4/BOH6) before recently flashing FL's ROM and the issue still happened. I'm starting to think it was a bad batch of devices sent to T-Mobile from what I am reading on Android Central forums. Was hoping someone here would have a suggestion for a fix but I might just have to take in and replace it since I'm still within the 14 day window.
Get a new one bro. Take it back and plug it in the store. Test it.
I.D.F.W.Y.

might as well get something new then a refurb one.
I have this issue but far less common for it to annoy me. Usually when I plug in our check my notification to make sure fast charging is enabled. My s6
Charger doesn't fast charge at all (same model number and same everything). The original charger fast charges 95% of the time. Yesterday was only the 2nd time I had to reseating the charger after I noticed I was still on 17% after 15min. And didn't see the fast charge notification.
Could be for me what someone else said about not plugging in all the way as it happens once in a blue but idk. My s6 had the same problem if it even is a problem.

This normal. The note 5 does not fast charge while the screen is On specially if the phone is being used... Is a safety precaution which is already answered by Samsung. I also had this issued and I was worried..

Wipe cache partition
This is a known issue with the update to 5ERA1. I had the exact same thing happen to mine. Phone will only do fast wireless. My charging port is emaculate. My wife just updated to 5ERA1 and her note 5 is glitching like crazy.
Wait, i have the same thing, but this is because of the cable or charger. I saw it a couple of weeks ago and now it happens a lot, so, when i connect my phone and its not fast charging, i just unplug the cable, wiggle it a bit and connect back. It doesnt work all the time so i might repeat this 2-3 time and in the end its fast charging. When i tried another good cable, it was fast charging all the time so before buying a new phone. try another good cable hope thats your problem
Hello.
I've recently bought a new LCD and touchscreen, and ever since i replaced it the phone battery discharges while turned on (on charger and on PC), so i am forced to charge it only while the phone is turned off. Also when i plug the charger in, the notification light only blinks once. I've already replaced the charging port and i'm using the original charger. I'm using Lineage OS with the default kernel.
Thank you,
Mokustus.

Might be a problem with battery or some loose flex cable.
I've already swapped the flex cable, and the battery is almost new.

Yes i have TWRP, and i just noticed it eventualy starts charging (TWRP and turned on) but it says "charging on USB" or something like that (i have to translate) and it charges super slow. Ampere shows max. 320mA. I've also replaced my ROM to sultan's CM13 to see if that's the issue but it's not.

Let's try this again.
The problem:
- My OPO charges quite slowly on AC charger (max. 500mA),
- takes a while to actually start charging after i plug it in,
- in the battery section of the settings menu it shows "USB charging" instead of "AC charging",
- it isn't recognized by my PC, in device manager it shows Unknown USB device (device descriptor failed).
Things I've done before this problem started:
- Replaced the screen + frame.
Things I've done to try and fix the problem:
- Replaced the micro USB flex cable,
- reinstall drivers on windows,
- install a different ROM,
- i've also reassembled the phone multiple times
My presumptions:
- It's most likely not the battery because it's almost new and the phone shows it's healthy,
- I'm thinking it could be the connector for the micro USB flex cable on the logic board but it doesn't look broken.
Does anyone have a solution to my problem, or is this unsolvable (could the motherboard be broken)?

Because of the kernel it has (which controls the charging)
Just try it (pm me for more help)
If it doesn't help (your device still discharges, then it's either the cable which you said isn't, or most likely the connector in your device)
