[Q] Charger Problems on Lollipop - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I've noticed in the past days I'm having a weird issue on my Moto G GPE running Lollipop 5.0.1.
In order to the phone starts charging I have to reboot it everytime, unless battery level is above 60%. So basically, I've ruled out other possible causes, tried different chargers, I've cleaned the microusb port several times and nothing seems to work. Everytime the battery is below 60% charge and I plug in the charger port, nothing happens, so, I turn off the phone and immediately the screen lights up with the charging battery logo. I turn on the phone again and it is still charging. Could this be a bug or hardware related stuff? I would really appreciate any help on this because it's really annoying having to restart the phone everytime I need to charge it.
Thanks for your time lads!
Cheers!

[Q] GTP3113 won't stay on long enough to charge?

I know a decent amount about rooting and roms, but I have an issue I haven't been able to figure out yet. My GTP3113 died last night, I plugged it into a couple different wall sockets because when I plug in the device it automatically turns on to the charging screen like it should, but after a few seconds the device automatically reboots back to the charging screen. My guess is that it doesn't have enough to time to charge before it reboots (which uses the small charge it got in that few seconds).
I had just flashed the\ 4.1 leak from samsung, the device rebooted fine after the flash at least once, problem didn't start until the battery died.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

[Q] Nexus 5 charging only when it is turned off

Hey there!
My Nexus 5, after updating it to 4.4.3, is having a issue: the device is charging only when it is turned off. When I turn the phone on, while charging, it will remain charging. But if I connect the charger, when the phone is already turned on, it will not charge.
I have tested 2 different cables, same issue.
Is anyone else having the same problem? How to fix it?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Just for clarification: I'm using Kit Kat 4.4.3, rooted, Xposed.
what are you charging from? ac or pc?
AC!

Another question, are you using the stock wall wart? Some aftermarket chargers don't put out enough amperage. Another possibility is that you've got some rogue processes keeping your phone awake so it's using battery as quickly (or quicker) than it can take in a charge.
I'm using the AC charger that came with my Nexus 5.
Updated to 4.4.4. Problem not solved.
I think it might be a hardware issue. I have the same problem with my pebble. I have tried multiple cables/chargers and it only charges when it's off. When it's on I get the charging notification but it doesn't actually charge
Nothing. The devide is still charging only when it is turned off.
Having the same issue since update 2 weeks ago. Already wiped phone and problem still exist. Start to think it's hardware but tried 2 different charger same issue.
So guys I am almost the same problem since this morning. I went on a 3 day trip to the Netherlands on Friday and charged my phone in the car for the last time on friday. I died on me this morning. While I was on the way back today and my N5 was in it's last percents of battery I noticed it wouldnt charge anymore. I thought fastcharging might have killed my car radio. Now back home I tried to charge it. For some reason the charging while off screen reapeared as soon as it turned off. Whenn I turned it on again it stopped charging. Tried rebooting multiple times. My phone now only charges while being in Fastboot or Recovery mode. Anybody having any ideas what might have caused this an how to fix this? Cleaning the charger didn't help me.

Hi. Also had this problem a few days now. Alot of headscraching is done
N5 won`t charge when on. Tried my N10 charger, but still the same. With my wireless charger it register the phone when off, but cannot charge it at all. I've also done a factory reset, and even changed the battery. Still no solution. Wondering if the charging port is damaged somehow. It doesn't cost much so maybe I`ll order a new and replace it to. I remember draining the battery more than usual right before this issue acurred. I was hiking, and din`t bring my portable charger. Also it could be some kind of water damage. Had the phone in my pocket all the time, it was not raining, but I got pretty sweaty:-9 Never had any issue with my stock Nexus 5 up till now. Don`t think this i a common problem, when this is the only place I've found others with this issue I`ll order the charging port, keep on searching on forums, and take it from there.
Good luck
I'm having the same problem on my Nexus 5 now as well. When on, it won't charge via micro-usb (via original charger or USB-to-PC), nor will it charge wirelessly. When turned completely off, it charges, but at GREATLY GREATLY reduced speed. It seems to be stuck in a loop as it it's just been plugged in. It cycles continuously through the lightning-bolt battery image, followed by the charge percentage graphic. The screen blinks, then it starts again. I suspect that it only charges for a moment or two before each reset. For example, it only charged about 20% over the span of six hours last night.
I've tried four chargers and four USB cables, and of course both wireless and wired charging. It's something with the hardware I suspect.
Anyone have any suggestions? It looks the the factory wipe upthread didn't help...
Charging spare part
I am having same problem too. I'm guessing it's because of water damage. Where did you find the charging part? I'm thinking of ordering one for myself to see if the problem is fixed!

HELP!!!! Fixing battery charging problem

Hello,
I went out last Friday and came home late. My phone is out of battery and dead. I plugged it in and woke up the next day with a dead phone. Apparently, there is a bug with the OPO. If the battery is too low, it won't even charge after you plug it in for charging. I have tried all tricks and even contact the OPO Tech Support Team. This thread describes how horrible they are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tech-support-onepluse-one-horrible-t3084022
I am at my wit's end. I have tried all the the tricks. This is a thread that I found that seems to have the same problem as I have.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/oneplusone-phone-dead-t3079256
The only choice I have left is to open the phone, disconnect the battery connection and reconnection it again. Hoping it will recharge. However, there is a warranty sticker and I don't want OPO to deny my warranty. I am not new to Android and I have fixed phones before. I also think of buying a new OPO battery and switch it with the factory one. Since the new battery will be charged, I think that will work in fixing it. But, doing that is much more complicate and it requires me to remove more components. If you have a good working solution for my problem, please help.
NOTE: please don't ask me to check my charger or use a different one. I check it 1000 times already. The original charger works, the cable works. I use different chargers and cables. Same result.
Thank you for your help.
Have you rooted and unlocked? I had the same problem when I got mine at first. It would show charging but never fully charge. 73% was all it would do. So after rooting and flashing a custom kernel the problem went away. Now I can go back to stock and the problem has never comeback. Maybe just a small software glitch or something. I'm just happy it's gone!

The phone is unlocked and rooted. The issue is not fully charged or not. The issue here is the phone does not charge after the battery die. The phone is dead because I let the battery run to 0. When I plug it to recharge, the low battery screen does not even come up. The phone is dead and refuse to recharge. There is no issue with the charger or the charging cable. I have checked it several time already. I am very frustrated with OPO Tech Support right now.
I see. Only other thing I can think of is try holding the power button for 60 seconds while it's plugged in. That does suck man.
I had similar issue, my conclusion is the bootloader charging function is broken.
Basically I would start the charging, it would charge for about 10 seconds or so, and then stop. I thought my battery was dead.
I couldnt boot the os as wasnt enough charge.
So eventually I just kept repeating the process, 10 seconds charge at a time, and eventually had enough juice to boot android and after that point it charged to full ok.
Never had this issue on any of my samsung phones.
Also to point out when it went dead it was plugged into my pc usb at the time with twrp loaded.

Charging problem

Hello! I have my OnePlus One running one of the latest CM nightly build (20150827), and a few days ago I realised that there was a problem when I charge my phone. It seems to work well (the led puts red, the battery circle icon starts spining) but it's not charging at all. In fact when I left it alone for some hours, it has less battery than when I plugged it.
Today I reached 0% and when I plugged it the battery circle shows the lightning but it blinks between all red and all grey very fast, like if a was pluggin and unplugging it very fast. After several minutes it doesn't overtake 0%. If I disconnect it, it powers off inmediatly.
While I was writing this it suddenly got to 30%
I have tried several sources (official charger, Xiaomi power bank) and different usb cables. I've also experienced this with other nightly from a month ago (I flashed the newer to see if that works to solve it) and the problem only shows sometimes. Thank you for reading!
Sounds like a faulty usb port on the phone to me. If you're able to charge it at all you should try flashing the stock images to go back to stock, but only do this if you're able to get it to charge above 30% because of the phone powers off during the process it could brick the device.
I was just wishing it not to be a hardware problem... But if stock CM doesn't work I guess I'm opening a ticket. Let's see what happens

Phone not charging above 0%

Hey guys,
I am having the issue that my OPO is not charging. It remains at 0% when plugged in indefinitely. As soon as I unplug the charger it will turn off immediately. When plugged in, however, it functions perfectly fine. I reset the phone and also tried different ROMS but I am assuming some hardware issue because switching ROMS or using a different charger and cable did not help. I assumed a faulty battery, so, I replaced the original battery but also that does not fix the issue. Did you experience a similar issue? I know that some hardware part is very likely not working properly but which one is it? Thanks in advance. I am hoping someone can help!
No idea dude..
My OPO works fine with the stock battery even after 4 & half years also gives 4.15hrs of screen on time.
