Mogul not charging with car charger - just wall charger.

I couldn't find a Mogul-specific forum - I hope this is in the right place! If not, I apologize in advance.
Just posting here to see if anyone has any ideas on this one..
The Mogul USED to charge with the car charger, then one day, just stopped working. It still gets charged by using the wall outlet charger.
I tried in another car thinking it may be my car - no dice.
I bought another charger off ebay thinking it was the charger, and that one does not work either.
I then had my buddy who also has a mogul try the car chargers, and both chargers charge his phone fine. I think the only thing I did not try is to put his battery in my phone, and see if it charges my phone.
I'm guessing though somehow it's the connector? But why would the wall plug work?!
My buddy's on his way over now - I'll test it with his battery. If it's still not charging I have no idea what to do. Could it be software related? Something I recently installed? It seems more hardware related to me..
Any ideas are helpful - thanks!!

Just a guess, but maybe the car charger uses different pins to charge with than the AC charger, and one of those pins in your phone might be bent out of place.

hmm, possibly.. I guess I'll call Sprint today. I tried another battery in it and it's still not charging - so it's definitely the phone

It must be a hardware issue.

I had the same issue with my car charger. It is a verizon universal one with a mini-usb connector. It is made for the Razr, Q, etc. I found that if i plug it into the splitter thing that came with the mogul, and then plug that into the mogul, it seems to work better. It also makes it easier to use the headset in the car while charging it too.

I tried that too - using the splitter and plugging the charger into that - still no worky
I called Sprint and they basically told me I need to bring it in to a service location, pay the $50 deductible, and get a new one.
I guess that's cool. haha

My problem is quite opposite to the above. I bought a samsung gt i5503 3days ago. Till yesterday my wall charger worked perfect. Today morning when i connected the wall charger my mobile was switched of with a warning " Android S.....! ( I can't even see the warning) and the battery icon gone red before it was switched off. I tried a few times but the problem is same. Then connected the USB data cable and it worked fine. But i have done a search in google and found a tip in XDA forum link. That is to switch of the mobile and remove the battery for few seconds and replace the battery. That's worked fine for once only. The second time the phone switched off again. Then i repeated previous step "removed and replaced the battery" and it worked again for once only. Now I have a doubt on the charger that from the first day some times it took too long to charge and some times while charging the battery level gone down quickly when i received a call. Suggest me if any other tips can help me..! or should i replace the charger.

Doesn't put out enough amperage, or different pins.

My Samsung gt i5503 switches off when charger connected... Plz need help...!
I'm scared to go to service center. All the mobile service centers are not so good at servicing in Hyderabad. i had the experience with nokia, micromax, sony service centers. They might fix the problem. But the other problems may rise after servicing. Help me how to fix this ?

[Q] Random vibrations?

Having a bit of a strange issue where my Galaxy S3 will randomly vibrate/wake for no reason when plugged into a T-Mobile universal wall charger. Seems to happen when the phone is jostled or picked up; it will turn the screen on and vibrate as if I had a notification, but I don't. The charger is a little bit old, since it was purchased with a BlackBerry about 2 years ago, so perhaps that's the reason. I was just wondering if this is something to worry about, like my USB connector going bad or something. It doesn't seem to do this when plugged into other chargers (will occasionally do this when charging on the OEM Samsung dock, but rarely). Thanks in advance.

It could be the charger that you are using. I have the same issue using my old DX charger but not with the charger that came with the GS3. With the older chargers it tends to lose connection and the connect backup, as if you unplugged it and plugged it back in.

Yeah that makes sense; do you know if I might have damaged the charging port by using that old charger or is that unlikely? I haven't really noticed any other issues with charging so I'm hoping everything is fine. Made sure to stop using that charger just in case though.

I still use the charger, it's just not idea if you are looking at something when it is plugged in. As far as it damaging the port I don't think so, unless your trying to plug it in upside down!!
I think the charger that came with the S3 just fits tighter and the older chargers may just be worn down by use. That's just my thoughs!!

[Q] charging problem

so strangely the other day i found it hard to charge my phone after my phone fell well it was charing
anyway i had to push the charger way in for it to charge n it worked
today i was playing a game and decided to charge my phone...i got no response from the phone...so i decided to try a blackberry charger still no results...so i took out the battery n put it back in and it went straight to download mode... i blew inside the charging port and used a paint brush to try to get out any dust or anything like that
it was still happening so i took out the battery n plugged in the phone n it just kept vibrating so i put back in the battery and then it booted up fine but its still not charging and the battery meter increased when it turned on....
can i get some help on a solutiuon ?

Probably damaged the usb connector when you dropped the phone while charging. It could be anything and you'll probably have to replace the connector in the phone.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727

well after it fell it was charging with the same usb connector...only thing i dont get that hard tug again when im trying to pull out the charger, only when i use the blackberry charger i get that..
and right now its charging fine with it so idk what was the problem

[Q] Strange Moto G XT1032 apparently blown but working.

Hello, i've been lurking for a while this forum for advice with other devices but now i really need your help.
A few weeks ago i plugged the phone to the car USB port, i never had problems with it since (i think) i always plugged the phone with the car already on.
Now, there's this situation:
I get into the car, plugged in the phone and turned on the car, then the phone made a strange noise. As i checked the phone it was still working fine BUT it wasn't charging at all, it was like there wasn't any usb cable plugged to the microUSB port.
Since the phone was working fine i didn't mind, but as i returned home i tried several power chargers with diferent amps, cables and it wasn't charging the battery, so the phone died and i don't know what to do.
I took the phone to a phone service repair center and they changed the microUSB port but no luck.
This seems pretty strange since it was working normally in that condition, but i wasn't able tomake it charge in any way.
I'm trying to see if i can charge the battery just a little (i've teared down the phone) but i'm afraid i'll do something wrong since there are 4 connectors on the battery, also if there is any advice and if i need to look for something on the PCB to check if there was something blown.
Thank you very much, any help is appreciated.

xperia XZ charging problem

Hi, I am a novice in phone repairs though I have successfuly replaced the screen and charging ports on a samsung s6 and note 4.
I am requiring some expert advice on this problem, I was given an XZ from my friend with a cracked screen and charging problem, the charging port became temperamental and failing (at least I think it was that) and eventually wouldn't charge at all. The charging port was handled a bit harshly toward the end, for example the charging cable lifted up and down to try to get a charging response.
Anyway I ordered a screen/digitizer and charging port flex for it, and fitted them, following a guide. Before this, the phone had around 2% charge. After the repair, I switched it back on and conncted the charger, the screen was fine, however there was no response from the charger. The phone then ran flat and eventually ran flat enough to not be able to show the "low charge" symbol when the phone is off. Then after plugging and unplugging the cable (via USB in the pc) it would charge for what seemed a second then stop, the red charging notification light was lighting up. The same happened with a wall charger. I then stripped it back down and back together again. This time there was no response if I remember right, then I connected it to the wall charger and left it for 3 hours or so. I went back to it and it had charged up to 15%.
Now i'm at the point where the phone is working, it's on 90% now, but it charges very slowly, around 60-350 mA per hour on Ampere app. So a full charge is around 12+ hours. This is in the wall socket with a fast charger. Additionally, it takes 10 seconds for the phone to recognise the charger after is is plugged in and that is consistent each time I plug it in. The phone now isn't recognised by my PC via USB, and also won't charge that way also, it just doesn't do anything if I plug it in there. Other than that, the phone works and it holds its charge well.
Any ideas? Thank you.

pick up an original sony charging cable - no idea why it makes such a difference, but.........

Hi, thanks for the reply, I bought a sony charger but it's still the same, drawing about 50-300 milliamps from wall charger, not recognised by PC and takes 10 secs exactly for the phone to recognise it's being charged. It's just odd how it stopped charging before the "fix", now the new flex lets it charge slowly. Can a battery problem cause this? It still holds its charge well. Maybe this problem is recognisable by some phone repair experts around here? any ideas?
Thanks

Noticed the phone only draws charge from a 3amp charger, anything less isn't recognized. And the power drawn from a 3amp can be 30-1000ma but averages around 300 ma. Can anybody point me to a hardware forum maybe? I can't find any, i guess it need taking to a phone expert but it's gonna end up costing more than its worth with the stuff i have done already.

Aukey Quickcharge 3.0 is working fine. It is cheap too.

I have just purchased a aukey charger, but my XZ seems to be taking longer to charge than the UH20 charger that came with my XZ. Any suggestions guys?

Buy a UCH20

Have you tried cleaning/replacing the charging port itself? As i see, you replaced only the flex cable.
There's probably extremely weak contact somewhere in the charging hardware i think, because you need 3.0 A charger to get any kind of charging response. Weaker current probably gets lost at that 'weak contact'.
Buying new chargers won't fix that if you ask me

I have exactly same problem with you
I am about to buy a new charger, yet I saw your post
At first I thought it was the cable. Then my cable work normal with other phone. So does my charger, it connect perfectly with other phone (xperia xz premium and xiaomi mi5)
It seems that our phoneis the only one who can'y charge normally.
I am quite depressed, also looking for solution. Mind if you share if you have succedeed? Thanks before

Try plug in and plug out. My phone sometimes charge a normaxl. But need a lot of effort

Solved
Use the the detect usb in the notification keys before connecting the charger,, this will solve the fast recharging issues

Did you solved problem? I have same issue. Changed battery, usb-flex, no luck

Hi,
I have bought an used XZ.
The owner sold me this phone because he need new battery. I have replaced the old one after a week of test. The old battery works only for 6/10h and drain totally during night even if the phone is turned off. The new one have the same problem. I try to solve with an other battery, and nothing same problem. 12h of standby, after is totally drained. The strange thing is that I have the same battery life even when the phone is turned off, but not only this. If the phone is in 0% he charge without problem. If we have any % of battery I need to connect and disconnect the charger from a wall plug many and many times before he start charging. Phone give me the charge icon for a second and after nothing until I disconnect the charger from a wall plug(I have tested different charger and cable). During my investigation I have found that this phone results every time a little bit hot even if turned off. I have try to disconnect all is possibile, but the heat is from CPU! Now I know that this is the cause of fast discharging in all conditions.
Now I need to know if anyone with a "normal" unit feel the phone heat while turned off and while is on wich temperature have. Mine is every time on 34/35° in standby. Let me know,
thanks

i have same problem . sony xperia xz and sony corp is very very Rubbish

Hi Guys,
I found a way to charge my Xperia XZ with the same loop problem.
Try to push upper volume pad together with power button and plug in the charging cable.
Hold the buttons for 3-5 minutes - you will feel vibrating signals like 3 short and 1 long.
so hold it and then simply leave it for a several minutes and it should start to accept the charge.
Alex Kutikhin

Yes - I had this problem...fixed it by holding in POWER UP and OFF button for 120 seconds.
Do not let go...you will feel vibration (1 short, 3 short). Keep holding for 120 seconds.
Device should now be powered down. Plug in charger cable and leave device off until 100% charged.

Still no fix for the original post’s problem? Having the exact issue with my xzs right now.

Thanks for the hint...
Old Thread, I know, but I encountered this issue today on an Sony X compact - F5321. Fixed it and want to report back for the next guy.
Same symptoms, noticed first a slow charge, phone was drawing low current and only responding to cable after 10 seconds of plugging in. I than checked for data connection, couldn’t get any. Opened it changed the USB port - BINGO - that fixed the issue, everything working nice.
TLTR: no Solution in Software, it’s a faulty USB-port. change it.
Have a nice day.
