I installed CM 7.1 a few days ago and since then my phone has problem charging using the usb cable. When charging thru usb to pc or usb to wall charger, it indicated charging but battery kept draining slowly.
Then I tried a few other roms, including insertcoin 4.4.4, 4.4.6 and ARHD 6.2.1 and the problem persist, even with brightness at ~30%, wifi off. I checked the running apps and it has only a few apps running.
Does any one have the same problem? Can someone help me with this? Thanks.
Edited:
Forgot to mention, when the phone was charging, sometime i would get message "Unable to charge, phone is using more current than the USB cable can deliver. Please turn off phone and close unused apps." when i wasn't using the phone at all.

Do you have another usb cable to try?
If that doesn't work you need to make sure you have the most recent CWR installed, I think the recent one is blue in text. Just go to the Rom Manager app and see if you have the most current recovery flashed onto your phone.
I had this same problem on my old desire with cheap cables bought off ebay. Bought some genuine HTC ones and solved the problem straight away.

My cable is the original HTC cable and I tried another cable from Nokia. Same problem. I have a stock 1520 battery and a 1800 cheap battery i bought from ebay. I think my recovery is the most current one, which is 4EX touch.
Is my battery just bad? I realized sometimes it charged up 1~2 % and then started draining.
Overheating
Hi,
I had a similar problem, the phone was plugged but not charging. It was because of a overheating of the battery. In the battery info page, instead of charging it said overheating. I unplugged it, let it cool down, plugged it again and it was charging.
my battery status never said overheating. it indicates charging but the battery level drops. I also realize sometimes the battery level stayed the same for quite a long while but sometimes it drops pretty rapidly. has my battery gone bad or just the rom? any one got an idea?
okay, now i am using Battery Monitor Widget and found that either charging through PC usb or wall charger, the maximum charging current is about 120 mAh. As far as i know, wall charger should be charging at 1000 mAh and pc at 500 mAh.
Can someone tell me what's wrong? and how i can fix it?
Thanks!

You've tried a different cable, so try another charger. If this doesn't fix it then you should try flashing firmware and ROM back to stock and see if the problem persists, if it does then it is probably a hardware fault.
battery level weirdness sensation xe stock ics
I have an issue where the indicated battery level keeps dropping even when the phone is on charge with the original HTC wall charger. I have also tried another wall charger- same outcome. Also getting the message that current draw exceeds charging current. Once or twice phone has shut down due to low battery. But here's the weirdness....I take the battery out, put it back in and 'hey presto' the battery level is fine. It seems the phone only 'thinks' the battery is not charing, but it is. Any ideas as to a solution would be appreciated.
I also have the same problem with HTC Incredible S fake charging pls help thx

I Have A Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 I Got It About 8 Months Ago I've Used The Samsung Official Charging "Cable" For Most Of That 8 Months but about 2 months ago the cable became loose at the Samsung cable to tablet end exposing the wires so I was careful with it and put it away and used my friends official cable then he needed it back so I went off and brought a generic cheep cable for $3.50 So all was good there but slowly I've noticed my battery going crazy like taking longer to charge "2 Days to full" and things like it discharging by 2% when I am on Google while its on charge and when its off charge playing 1 game uses almost all the battery.
so being the awesome soldier that I am I made myself a 5cm cable hoping that the long cable I was using had something to do with it but still I had the problems listed above so I did some Googleing and maybe a 2.5A charger would be helpful But its not recommended. also I sent a email to Samsung and being the "SUPER HELPFULL COMPANY THAT THEY ARE" has not responded to my emails in the past week's Also I Spoke To A live chat person thing and Being "Soo Helpful! " Said that its a hardware fault and I need to take it into a Samsung repair place and fork out $100+ Bucks to get it fixed "HELL NO AnT No BoDy GoT TiMe FoR ThAt" so I didn't go to Samsung to get it repaired so I want to know if any of you guys out there have any idea to fix this problem im having because its so hard to do anything.
Just Checking my emails while its on charge uses %4, On Google for like 5 mins Uses 2%, Playing A Game For 30Mins Uses Well Almost Flattens It, And Watching Some YouTube Takes It Down To 0% And Then Shuts Down( I Watch Lost Of Videos) All This While Its On Charge
At The Moment How Im Copeing Is I Carry Arrount An Inverter And A 12V Battery To Keep It Charging
The SGN 10.1 charging cable is a specially designed cable to deliver 2.1A 5V to the device.
Most "cheap" cable on the market can only deliver 0.5A - 1A 5V when used to charge SGN 10.1
You should find the correct cable specifically built for SGN 10.1

Thanks but how can a cable make all the difference i managed to charge off my old one its just got exposed wires and it still drains when i use it
Are you certain that the battery is actually draining that fast and not simply misreporting it in the UI?
I had a similar problem where the battery didn't seem to last but I eventually noticed that a reboot would completely change the amount of charge remaining, sometimes by as much as 20%. I cleared the battery stats and is been fine since.

Well actually when-ever I turn it off it doesent charge much and if I restart it the battery stays the same but over the last few days ive noticed something weird when its on chatge and I play a game it drops about 20-30% but when its not on charge and on battery it drops by about 5-6% could the charger be draining it? also I have a new new cable its generic (IM NOT PAYING $60 FOR A CHARGER CABLE) and there is no difference still does the weird charging thing also I tried the old cable and still does the same thing the olny thing wrong with the old cable is that the wires where exposed so I dident want to use it just incase it broke

If you don't want an OEM cable and charger you can buy a crap chinese one. But as you and many others have discovered - they suck. This is one of the biggest complaints I have always heard about Samsung.
The solution, and the only on that I have found that works 100% of the time is to buy a replacement from Samsung. Period. Nothing else works like the OEM parts because they aren't OEM parts.

The wiring on the OEM cable is somehow different than most cheap cable.
I'm experimenting by buying a 3M long "cheap" N8000 cable on eBay, may be it can help (delivery time is VERY long )

What ROM are you using?
Stock or Custom?
Rooted or not?
If you are Rooted (Stock or Custom) you can use Battery Calibration app to erase batterystats.bin to calibrate your battery percentage which are needed if you change ROM.

$60 just for a cable? Really? I live in the UK and I bought a whole new charger (official Samsung one, too, including a cable) for about £12 on amazon. Just go to Amazon and replace the charger, it sounds like it'll be cheaper than just the cable (probably 15-20 USD or maybe 30-35 AUD, I'm not sure what the rate is and where you live ) and if it is a charger related issue that'll be fixed too.
Just so you know, I bought the 'travel charger' (the white one) and it works perfectly. Supplies the same current and voltage, and it's a smaller unit, and cheaper! I'd just look into getting one of those.
Hello.
Yesterday I upgraded from KatKiss #018 to #019. Up to now #018 had worked perfectly, but today with #019 I noticed that when plugging in my charger (I don't have the dock), I didn't get the little 'flash' sign on the battery notification; going into the settings to look at battery usage, I noticed that i said 'Battery not charging' even though I had left the charger plugged in.
I unplugged the charger, turned off the tablet, and replugged the charger, and the tablet turned on, which it does when plugging in the charger and being off.
Has anybody had this problem? Is it really charging but not notifying it? If not, what can I do besides reflashing?
Thanks!
me too

No problems for me and most people I guess otherwise they would stay away from the rom if it was not charging
Try to power off completely your tablet, then cold boot.
Try to change cable, try to test with another charger.
If that doesn't help do a full wipe and a clean install and test again before reinstalling anything else on your tablet.
if that still doesn't help, follow the procedure to report an issue in my signature, I'm not psychic.
Hello.
I have a problem related to the battery as well. Ever since I flashed to #19, my tablet and dock battery seem to run dry very quickly in sleep mode. I have come home from work to occasionally find the tablet unable to boot (it had a dock charge of no greater than 75% and a tablet charge of 100%) and when I plug the charger into the dock and then boot it, I find both batteries have next to no charge.
This is only on timduru's KK#19. I never saw this problem on #18 and below, or any of the previous 'droid versions (4.3.1_029 or 4.2.2_226).
I am currently letting the tablet's battery run to empty and then I will be charging the dock and tablet separately, but this is the first time I've ever encountered this problem.
okay

Did you try another ROM? I'm on #20 and I think I have (mentionable) more battery life. Not charging issues. Guess the fresh installment / wipe helped or an energy eater didn't survive the reinstall. Also I could observe two things (which I don't know of if they are related): Sometimes when the tab was docked it didn't charge. Second the the tab hat a battery problem. When docked and in sleep -> Dock empty next morning. I controlled this with Juice defender but weren't able to locate the problem in an app. This is now gone.
From my experience: I bought 2 power cable for the TF101 (only cable). One works as USB cable with no loading feature (not on USB 3.0 nor on the wallcharger). The other one works as USB connection cable and as wall charger. I can extend the original cable with USB to USB cable to transfer data and charge. I can't get any of that both two (CHEAP) cables to load extended or trasfer data. The two cables I bought at ebay were diffrent vendors. One for ~2,50€ the other for ~4€. If I remember right the original cable where much much more. What I want to say: There are huge diffrences in USB cables. Dunno. It would be a strange accident that the charger or cable broke when / while you intalled a ROM. Could it be that the "intelligent" battery stats are broken somehow? So they think the battery is full and therefor not charge? Or would the icon / indicator then show 100%? Does the icon get its information from the same source (or directly from) as the android battery management?
(ps: 12 hours for 35%=! ROFL!?? What charger is that?)

if it takes that much time even when it's off, it means that it's only charging at 5V.
Also at 5V it won't charge unless the screen is off if I remember well.
There's a special pin/connection made in the cable for the charger to detect that it's a Transformer plugged that will make it charge at 12+V
There's most likely a pin/ contact broken either in your cable / charger /tab, that prevents it to charge at high voltage.

So you say you go with option #3 then because u already did option 2, right? Quote Tim on option 2: "Try to change cable, try to test with another charger.".
So you have 2 x THIS and 2 x THIS? Because that would mean, what Tim suggested I guess. As far as I know this is the only way ASUS shipps the original TF101.
I'm asking because most people that I know would buy another noname charger or even just a noname cable instead of horribly expensive original pieces. If you really got the 2 x 2 pieces shown above,
then I'd guess wether your tablet is broken or the software on it is broken. But again: Did the charging problem REALLY firstly appeared when intalled the ROM? Or did you install the ROM because of the
fault? Or don't you exactly know.
To point out again: It would be a strange coincidence, that both cables AND adapters would stop working exacly at the same time when u installed #19. If you use 2 different cables at the same adapter: Then it's possible that the adapter is broken and only gives the USB (5V) loading speed. If you use 2 adapters and 2 cables and tryed all combinations: The most likely something with the tab isn't cool. The software or the hardware...

I have loaded #29, and I started seeing this issue immediately. It was fine before that. After loading the ROM, it would only charge when TF is dead. I have the original charger and cable that came with it which was working fine before the upgrade. So, I don't suspect either of them.

I was going with #29 and #30. Havent seen or heard about any loading issues but that was related to loading the tab on an USB port ... What actually is an bad idea even on USB3.0.

Hi,
couple of weeks ago, my phone starts charging slowly. Whenever I use any other charger, than original, its charges only with arround 400-700mAh - thats only 1/3 of the charging speed. The non original chargers have 2A output: Samsung car charger, ASUS tablet charger, ADATA powerbank. I tried different cables, restared the phone, charging while phone was off, cleaning the phone conector with contact spray.
The battery consumption is normal, arround 50mAh. The fast charging with original charger works OK. All the chargers, I mentoined, worked perfectly just month ago. Unfortunately, I do not have the options test the chargers on other phones, because all other are just slow chargers (1A)...
Any idea, why this is happening?
partialy solved
I perform some tasks, and it seems, that it helps:
I did: wipe system cache. This increases the charging speed from 1/4 to 3/4 (400mAh -> 1300mAh) from the powerbank. The charging speed from car charger didnt changes
Then I did factory reset of the phone and it seems, that this helps.
The charging speed is very depending on the proper usb cable used. One cable works fino on one charger, but performs bad on another...

all USB Cables have different amperes, some have 2A some have 2.1A, furthermore, it also depends on the power source, the car's charger couldn't be as strong as the wall socket i think.
Anyways, on a side note, i suggest you try Aukey quick charge 2.0 powerbank. fast charges your S6.

I am wondering if this may be related to an update? Both me and the wife started experiencing this same problem, at the same time (different chargers). A few nights ago our chargers were working fine then the next night after 12 hours of charging battery is only around 80%
I did a factory reset on mine on Sunday for other reasons but this has made no difference to the charging issue

It's weird, anyway download the latest stock firmware for your device model and flash it using Odin. Wipe everything from Recovery Mode before and after flashing.
What difference would flashing stock firmware make? My phone is up to date and I did a factory reset on Sunday

For my case, it happened after my phone is updated. I brought my phone to a service center unfortunately it's already out of warranty. They are asking around $90 to have my phone fixed. According to them, they need to replace the battery and the sub board.
Im really dumbfounded how this happened.
I have the same problem with my s6 I have replaced the charger port and still won't connect to the pc or fast charge
Hi guys,
I haven't been able to charge my phone properly for a while - after reset when I plug in the original charger, it charges fast, when I unplug it and plug it back in, it charges slowly. When I unplug it again, it still shows the charging icon forever but it won't charge when plugged in. Factory reset doesn't help. The phone also randomly shows the USB moisture message even though it never got wet. Changing cables and power sources doesn't help.
Build MHA-L29 8.0.0.375(C636)
Thanks for any ideas!
Blow out the USB charging port on the phone. Also, use a toothpick to GENTLY clean out the port of lint and dirt.
And use app that tracks your charging speed. Try ampere In playstore.

Thanks for the reply. I tried that already. Is it possibly a battery issue? I wouldn't mind replacing the battery, which is cheap rather than replacing the phone because of such nuisance.

Thanks, good idea.
Ampere clocks in at -250 mA after reset. Goes to around 1800 when plugged in to a third party charger, which drops to around 300 mA when unplugged (phone indicates that it is charging). After reconnecting it goes up to 1000 mA. I don't have my Huawei charger at work but it's similar - at first plug in it charges fast, after reconnecting it switches to the slow mode.
You should use your original charger. And see if supercharge is working. If not. Give it a shot in a service center. Theyll fix your phone for free if you still have warranty.

I'll try that tonight, thanks. Unfortunately no warranty but I'll see what I can do.

Well, before replacing the battery, try this:
- turn phone off
- connect to original Huawei Supercharge charger and charge up until 90% or so
- disconnect from charger and turn on
Use the phone as you normally would until around 35-40% remains, then try connecting the charger. If the issue persists, I still believe it is a problem with the charging circuitry rather than the battery. Especially if we take the moisture in the USB port message the phone shows. Replacing the USB charging circuitry should not be a big problem AFAIK, it is connected to the motherboard with a snap-on connector, replacing it should be easy as disconnecting the connector, removing the circuit with the port and placing the new one in.
Yep, I guessed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4avHFWjsz4k
Are you having issues where the phone is displaying 30 or so percent battery remaining, but the phone shuts down?

That's a great point. I didn't know the USB circuitry can be replaced by itself. I don't have any issues with the phone switching off. It uses the battery all the way down to 1% or so. I don't see any erratic percentages. I'll replace the part and update you on what happens. Thanks!

Yup, that was the problem. Easy fix. Thanks for the suggestion!
Make sure your microphones still work. I had to replace my USB charging board (which also contains the mics) recently and the first one I tried had a bad mic. I could make phone calls just fine, but google assistant couldn't hear me. I got a replacement and both mics were fine.

I wish I could close this thread but a lot of weird stuff happened since I "fixed" the phone.
Since I bought the battery before I was told it could have been the USB board, I replaced the old battery too. The first charge was smooth and I drained the battery to 0 as recommended. I plugged it back in and it charged to 5% and stopped. I noticed a chemical burn smell that I later realized was coming from the USB circuitry. At this point there was no way to charge the phone but when tried to turn it on, I still saw the red charge icon. I opened it up and put the old defective USB board back in and I was able to charge it. Throughout the day I noticed weird battery drain that I saw recently before the replacement of the USB board. As usual, I tried to restart the phone to fix that but it won't turn on. The battery was at 85% when I shut it down. When I try to turn it on, it won't even show that red charge icon. Nothing. I can't put the old battery back to see if that's the problem, because I bent it during replacement.
Could it be a battery issue this time or is the phone just dead at this point?
