Charging problem - flickering - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
My Z3 is all of sudden having a battery charging problem.
When I connect the charger, whether it's wall charger or computer usb cable, battery will not charge and keeps on charging/discharging.
It's just flickering on and off and does not seem to charge, I can also see the orange charging light blinking.
However, the magnetic charging works fine.
I have no idea why this is happening, does anyone have a solution ?
Thank you.

USB port of the phone might be corrupted.

Samsung i780 Charging Fault!?

Hi,
Can't seem to figure out whats wrong with my i780 so was wondering if anyone here has experienced similar problems.
My i780 don't seem to charge anymore when using the charging plug (plug it in, no charging light or charging symbol.. etc..)
Plug it in through USB, phone charges fine (charging light comes on, charging symbol displayed)
Now, I thought, oh must be the plug, so I tested it using the charging case... charging light comes on battery charges fine!!??
I would just forget about the plug but I can't seem to get a full charge just through USB.
So if my phone charges by USB, plug not working on the phone, but works with the charging case what could be wrong???
Anyone have any suggestions?
my i780 always show charg icon after upgrade...what the probem??????????/
i had the same problem as you. i sorted it out though. Do you mostly charge through the external charger?
i just kept on leaving it on charge for about an hour or so. Soft resetted the phone while on charge and then it worked fine. LED went on and the whole lot.
Try to charge your phone at least once a week with the battery in the phone. I can't prove that charging almost exclusively through the external charger does this but i have a suspicion. That is the only unusual thing about my usage pattern.
Has anyone had the same problem

[Q] AC Charging not detected

Hello! Recently my phone began charging really slowly. It took my a few hours to barely get my battery to half. I checked with a battery calibration app and it says that my phone is plugged in to USB charging when I connected it to an AC port with the bundled charger and cable. Is anyone facing the same problem ( slow charging because AC is not recognised)? And does anyone have any idea how to solve this? Thank you!

i am using the original charger to the wall charge. even i plug it into pc the red cross still showing. any solution?
As it's stated above - The Galaxy Note 10.1 can not charge threw USB due to the high power usage, all it can do is a "status quo" on battery usage.
So if you wan't to charge the Note, plugg it directly into the wall, and if possible, avoid power extenders.

If you are using the ac charger and the original cable, then you may have a fault in either the charger or the usb cable
If you can borrow a friends usb cable test to see if that helps
If not try your friends charger.
After a while the usb cable gets damaged and when damage can show a fault in different ways
Slow charging
The red cross appears
It shows charging but the battery never goes pass say about 1%
It shows charging but instead the unit is discharging.
If you get any of these before you wipe your device try another cable if possible
I have had my replaced already and ferl I will go and get a docking unit, and a spare cable

sorry for late reply.
i did get a new charger from ebay but unfortuately the red cross is still there but nevertheless it charge slowly.. it took me about 8 to 10 hr for fully charged.
any other solution?
The probabilities are:
Charging Port is broken
Charging cable / Charging cable connector(s) is(are) broken
AC Charger is broken
Analysis:
Borrow someone else's charger & cable
Try the combination :
Other charger + your cable ==> if working then your Charger is broken
Your charger + other cable ==> if working then your Cable is broken
Other Charger + other Cable ==> if working Both Charger & Cable are broken
If all failed ==> your Charging port are broken
Eliminate posibilities

Wireless charging question

So I have a USB cable that lights up only when device is charging. It turns off the led light when the device is charged...
I'm using the same cable and USB adapter on my wireless charger.
Now at night my cable stays lit up always even when fully charged. It doesn't turn off anymore. So they're is constantly a charge going to it.
When I pick it up its warm. Not hot. No complaints. But is it safe for the battery to constantly get juice even if its 'charged' and can't get anymoee

Yes it is, there's a charge controller by Texas instruments that regulates the charging current
i know what cable you're talking about its those LED flowing cables i have one, anyways the wireless charging puck or dock always draws power while the phone may not its tickle charging as in keeping it at 100% its not overcharging it its topping it off
its 100% completely safe.
