Any ideas?

I think I've had the same issue. To clarify by dead do you mean powered off? Several times I've put my phone on to charge at night and woken up to a phone that is powered off.

No her phone is not rooted. Its bone stock. She's had it since launch day. I've never herd of a phone shutting off during charging. Unless she's doing something that she don't know.

Maybe try charging it during the day and keep an eye one he notification led. If it starts flashing alternating green/amber then it is overheating. That would be my guess anyways.

Any reason why it would be over heating? Bad charger or battery?
I've never experienced my evo over heating and its even overclocked to 1115ghz.

Is she plugging into a wall outlet to charge?
If so, I would try a different plug. It's possible the location she is plugging into could have a bad outlet (tripped breaker, etc).
Also, can you verify that the charger and cord are working?

Im gonna check out the outlet shes using and what not. I may even trade her my Evo charger and cord for hers and see what happens. But if anything we just may go exchange it for another one. Best buy gives you 30 days.
I also have this issue with my Thunderbolt. I've tried different outlets and different chargers. I have yet to figure out any sort of pattern. It just happens when I get up some mornings. When it finishes starting up its just fine.
I had the same exact problem, I actually made me late for work. But who cares.
It was dead battery and all. Phone wouldnt even come on after plugging it in. Needed minimal charge to even turn on.
I found the cable and charger were the problem. I am now using my charger from my N1 with out any problem. I used the same charger for my N1 and low and behold I had a dead N1 in the morning. scrap the ****ty charger and purchase an after market or go to VZ store and ***** and moan and possibly they'll spot you a new one.
Definitely a charger issue though, at least for me.

Thanks for the info... Like i said im gonna try my Evo charger and see if it works. But i may just have her go exchange it for a whole new phone and everything.
definately seems like a bad charger.
Should be pretty easy to find out though. Just plug it in and bring up the battery widget. keep an eye on it, and see what happens..
i plug the charger in with the Transformer turned off,
but it turns itself on to charge
is that normal?????
Mine does the same..

it's weird that is has to do that to charge
If shut down after plugging in, it will remain off and still charge.
Every phone and tablet I've ever owned turned on when you plug in the charger. No need to worry.

Mine does the same thing, it is normal. I just have to remember to leave it on, plug it in, and then turn it off when I charge it over night.

Yeah me too. Every phone I've had wouldn't boot up, and the xoom stays off when charging? Also it has an led indicator as well. Not a big deal to be missing that with the tf, but how do you (previous poster) know that it charges after a shut down? I believe you and im sure the battery is indeed charging. Where are your credentials sir? Lol.

Mine does that too. It's kind of annoying.
I always turn off and charge my tablet at night. If I forget and turn my tablet off before I connect the charger, I have to stay there and wait for it to boot up then shut it down again.
NORMAL.
My Nook Color does it, my Archos 101 did it, my Droid X does it.
someone please f*cking help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i super screwed my GSM Droid RAZR to hell. my battery charge was low, i don't feel safe using modded factory programming cables or even the jumping method. as not only will it damage usb ports and such, it will also make your device dispenser friendly. i did a battery swap to work around the battery low issue. prior to doing so, my device will on for a moment off a charger. rarely stayed on long enough while connected to pc. after a battery swap, my device says Battery OK. yet i still can't access sh*t. however, now i can't turn it on unless i'm plugged in to a (wall) charger. ready to f*cking demolish this p.o.s!!!!!!!!!!1 please someone help!
Dude, calm down, stop lashing out, and get to the RAZR forums. Ask. SEARCH.

So lately I've been running into a rather annoying and inconvenient problem with my beloved S3. The thing doesn't charge well, at all. Plugged into the wall, via USB, via fast charge USB...I just can't get it to charge. I went to bed last night with the phone at around 30%, plugged it into the wall, and when I woke up 7 hours later it was at 55%....not ideal. Same result when I left it plugged into my computer overnight. At first I thought it was the wall charger, but that was ruled out when I found that I couldn't charge over usb either. My current suspect is a faulty usb cable, and unfortunately I don't have another one to test. What are the odds its damaged contacts on the inside of the phone? is there a way to test/look for that? FYI I'm running beans jellybean build 2, but this problem started when I was still on ICS. Any ideas as to what could be causing it? I've noticed high android system usage (over 50%), but I doubt that accounts for the drain I'm seeing. Any help figuring this our would be appreciated.

I had this exact same issue, eventually it stopped charging at all.
Turned out to be a fault of the phone. Called Verizon, they sent me another battery to try, didn't fix anything, they then did a warranty exchange. Got a refurb phone and it works great.

Thanks for the intel. Im actually on a refurb right now due to some issues with my launch device. Was your replacement covered under warranty at no cost? Unfortunately for me I'm abroad so I can't exactly go in to a Verizon store or call them to ship a replacement.

Do wipe the battery stats and see - wouldn't probably solve the issue but worth trying !
I too have USB problems. A normal car charger will work but when I use my USB wall/laptop/car it won't charge much. When i sleep it stops charging and I wake up to 70% battery or so. I don't know if its my cable (which it probably is) or if its my phone. Where do I go about replacing my USB?

For me I think it is my AC adapter. My phone charges faster plugged into my macbook than my wall charger.

I'll try to find a new cable and see if it works. Other than that I'm at a loss. I think I've had this problem before and fixed it with a complete drain, followed by a full charge from the wall (with phone off). I can't remember if it was this exact same situation though, and also have no idea why said solution would work.

thats crazy...my device charges in 2.5hrs plugged into the wall.
Does Samsung sell the USB on their site? I don't like things that aren't exactly made for my phone.

Amazon: OEM Cable
Although I don't think you'll have any issues with any generic cables, I've used many different cables from other phones, monoprice, amazon, etc and haven't had any issues with charging any phone I have.
Alright I just had my phone plugged in for over 7 hours to get it to 100%. I'll give a progress report when I try to charge it again. Fyi it just dropped 2% in less than a minute.
UPDATE: battery still horrible. Went back to tw nandroid to rule out the possibility of a JB leak bug

Doubtful that anyone will see this, but there's a new development. My phone's LED indicator turned green to signal a full charge while the phone was still at 91%.... whatever that means

I want the one that came with my phone. I'm currently using that cable, until I find the EXACT USB that came with a Galaxy S3.

Mine was doing that same **** before it broke when it stopped suddenly just after impact with concrete.
I was about to reflash the synergy rom I was on hoping that would fix it.
Did a reinstall fix the charging issue no now you've just got a wrong indicator or is the charging issue still there.
I totally attribute this to a degrading OS... Now I'm not so sure...
Tap'd
Still persists after multiple ROM flashes. I'm gonna get a new cable and see if that works.
Update: yup it was the cable. At least it's not the phone

Glad you sorted your issue.
Last night, out of the blue, my new to me refurb from asurion decided to not charge either.
Unplug, reboot, plug back in.. charging as normal. Wtf?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Well, its back at it.
At 16% earlier today the phone was plugged in, charged fine, fell on its face. Unplugged, battery pull, charging again then slows. 6 hours later it was up to 75% where its slowly been losing charge while plugged in.
Any idears?

On Amazon you can buy a battery with a standalone charger you could charge and swap batteries till you can get a new phone if it is now warranty replaced
My friend just got the Moto G, he opened the box and plugged it in. After about 10 minutes he came back and noticed that there was no charging light or any indication that the phone was charging. I have tried it on numerous different cables and chargers yet still nothing. Any suggestions or should I just advise and RMA because of DOA? I do have access to the phone if anyone has ideas.
[Edit: The phone is locked to Tesco mobile, this shouldn't make a difference should it?]
Edit 2: The problem was solved by leaving the phone for a day and plugging it in the next day.
I think you need to install the drivers for the phone before it will charge. Some leads won't work, stick with the official one.
The phone should charge from a wall charger though should it not?

Of course. I use my old HTC wall charger with my Moto G all the time. What's the maximum current output of the wall charger you're using? I've read that the Moto G requires at least 500mA and can draw up to 1500mA (after which it's limited to this value).
Yeah that's what I thought. I've tried his phone on my kindle and HTC charger (1 & 1.2amp), still nothing.

Sounds like it's a brick. I reckon your friend should return it and get another (it's worth it - it's such a great phone!)
Have you tried on the USB computers port? Btw the charger for this phone should be as powerful as 750Mah 5,1V 0,20A.

Try charge it from wallcharger first (any micro USB charger will do). But any phone should have at least 20% of battery...
RMA time.

Just a hunch from the FAR FAR LEFT... while plugged into a wall charger, plug in a head phone. See what happens. No guarantees but I've seen weird things happening with Google phones.

Mysteriously after he left the phone for a day, then plugged the power in the LED came on and it started up. Strange?! I'll try to get more details about exactly what he did.

Hey I'm sorry to hear that, I spoke to my friend again and he said all he did was leave the phone for about a day then plugged it in again. He did mention something about wriggling the connector around in the phone socket so it may have been loose power connections.

Same with me now, weird
It seems, you shouldn't let the Moto G power off itself... Waiting now
[edit]
Put it in the fridge for 15 mins, this worked
Note that I tested three wall chargers, one 850mAh from Motorola, one 1Ah and one 2Ah from Samsung. The only one which booted up the Moto G was the 1Ah from Sammy.
Just return it to tesco they either swap it or send it to anovo for swap/repair

Tried it yesterday, didn't work.
This afternoon, I just tried to plug it into the mains with one charger and the light flickered for a second. And would then flicker if I held the power button for around 5 seconds at a time. Using a different charger had the light steady for a few minutes before the phone showed a battery with 0% charging. Fully working now though.
I would take it back anyone might be faulty battery sensor
