Need urgent help.. - General Questions and Answers

I am longer able to charge my phone properly using a wall charger... It only takes 100ma current when plugged to an Ac source..
It charges properly when connected to a USB port..
I was running on cm 12 + Boeffla kernel when I first had this problem..
Tried wipe/data cache and now flashed stock 4.3.
Still no use it takes around 1 hours to get 2% charge on Ac.
Ps. Battery is working properly got about 1 day backup. ​Anyone please help me with this asap

Charger defect? Cable defect?
Usb Plug dirty or dusty?
Tried another wall charger?
Andi

Tried 3 different chargers but no hope
But I've found a temporary solution by enabling ignore unstable power and safety margin in Boeffla kernel config app.
It seems to be working... Thanks to Boeffla kernel for saving my phone.

My s3 is losing battery while plugged in.

Ive been using my s3 for about 40 minutes on CM10. Plugged into a dual usb charger connected to not ip port, which in the past i have used fine. I have lost 5% battery in this time. Current widget doesn't work yet with S3. Suggestions?
Edit - The first time I got the phone after a full charge and discharge, while plugged into stock charger and before anything root, the same problem happened.

From what I heard, the charger can't charge the phone fast enough when you are using it thus the losing charge while plugging in. If you are talking about losing percentage right after you disconnect the phone from the charger, that is a feature, I do not know at the top of my head why it does it.
If charging through USB port (and many car chargers) you're capped at 500mA vs 700+ for wall chargers. You can install a kernel that supports fast charging and you will get 700mA through USB.

I'm having the same issue whether charging from usb or a power outlet. Charges for a bit initially, then drains. Happens with different cords, too. I'll pick it up and it will feel warm, see that the battery is lower than when I plugged it in, then put it down. Then it cools off and starts charging again. Any ideas?
Same here except
i have the same issue, i had stock Touchwiz and suddenly the phone started to discharge while on charging outlet, tried different chargers, outlets, different ports, etc. still wouldnt work, i even deleted several applications and turned off several phone functions, etc. still nothing, then i rooted to CM10.1 and the same issue still presists, the phone charges a bit then discharges weather i use it or not. the only solution to charge it, it seems to be by turning off the phone. i think it has to do with the usb port on the phone as i even had the battery changed and it still would discharge while on a charger.

[ KatKiss-KitKat #019 ]Battery not charging?

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...

Precisely what I meant.
Cheers.
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.

Nexus 5 Host Mode Charging

Does the Nexus 5 support host mode and charging, simultaneously? Does it need a kernel patch? Is the patch available yet?
Thanks.
Haven't seen any kernels with this here

I'm running franco kernel 3.4.88-franco.Kernel r54. I received my OTG+Charging cable just the other day and it worked without any additional changes. However host charging seems to be a bit slower than just a direct charging (with my cable, the device doesn't seem to go into AC charging mode).

Turn on fast charge. You need a kernel tweaker app like Trickster Mod.
#AndroidL
Just enabled it in the franco app, will let my phone discharge some and see if that does the trick
Edit: This doesn't seem to have helped any. Half the time the phone doesn't even seem to recognize the charge from the OTG Y cable, or the charge voltage through the cable is only enough to mitigate some of the discharge. The cable only seems to be able to give about 400mA when it does want to charge. I think the cable is bad.
Is this possible with ElementalX kernel?

Portable charger not able to charge my OPO

Hey guys,
I'm having an odd issue. I have an anker astroslim 2 which I love and has done a phenomenal job charging my previous phones without any issues. However, Whenever I plug in the OPO, it charges for a minute or two and then stops charging. I know the charger has power and works fine as it charges my tablet without any issues, and I've tried charging with the astroslim 3 as well with the same issue (which MAY charge for a couple minutes more before stopping). I have absolutely no idea why it won't charge properly and it's only on my OPO, like I mentioned it works fine with other devices. Only thought I had was maybe the phone is trying to draw too high a voltage for the charger so it just stops...but that still doesn't make sense. I'm on slimkat 8.8 (clean flashed, stock slimkat kernel).
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
It might have something to do with the output only being 1A. Also, what kind of cable are you using?
Transmitted via Bacon
Sometimes, i've the same issue with the original charger and stock 38r rom.
I've also do some testing with a 40w anker : sometimes full charge takes less than 2h (2A output, so let's say it's quite normal) but sometimes it takes more. Same issue with original charger...
Try those :
- use your anker with original opo cable.
- try To reboot the phone and plug it back again
- try to charge with phone stopped.
It could be software related, but also hardware (battery for example)
@timmaaa I tried the built in one and a USB cable that came with my WD portable HDD. Maybe you're right about the 1A output. Hope not though lol
@lezioul thought about trying the OG cable but it was upstairs. I'll try it in the morning along with the other stuff you suggested.
Thanks guys!

so no dice on any of those. when I plugged it in while the phone was off, it flashed the boot screen but I guess it's not on? The charge indicator on my power pack is still on so that may be the only way to charge it with my anker. That would suck! But I think @timmaaa might be right
anyone else have any issues (or NO issues) with other portable chargers?
Edit: Charged 10% with the phone off in 10-20 minutes! Thanks
So maybe it's software related...
I get rid of CM11S yesterday evening, after my wlan driver was unable to load for no particular reason...
I'm running a custom SlimCat now: i could not test my anker, as i'm on a business trip, but i'll try this weekend.

USB Issues

For some reason my OPO will only charge with certain charger & cable combinations. The original OPO combo does not work whatsoever. However, a few cheap cables that I have that supply power only (no data) and my Chromecast cable will work with any charger. The cables that do not work seem to work momentarily; long enough to turn on the charging led for a second and the battery charging indicator on screen and almost immediately turn off. MTP and USB-OTG do not work either. Just recently I read a thread on OnePlus forums where a guy was having the same issue but he found that if he plugged his cable in very slowly it would charge. This works for me as well.. but it still does not initiate a data connection if connected to a computer. I have replaced the charging port flex 3 times.. so I highly doubt it is an issue with that. I have flashed different roms, recoveries, and kernels. I'm not sure what else to do. if anyone has any insight or info that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Just use Capdase USB Cable with any 2A Charger. Flash Boeffla Kernel and increase your charging rates. It charges so so fast!
Thanks.. but I do not believe this will solve my issue. I have ordered a new battery to see if replacing it will do any good.
