Galaxy s6 suddenly not charging after night of discharging - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My s6 that i bought 3 weeks ago suddenly stopped charging after i left it discharging overnight. It is rooted and running XtreStoLite ROM.
I have tried charging via the wall socket, computer usb, with wireless charging and from powerbank. But none of these work.
However if i turn the phone off and plug it into the charger, the battery symbol with the lighting in the middle, displays for a brief moment then goes black.

It fixed itself, im unsure how but what i did was hold down the volume down button and power button for about 30 sec, forcing the device to restart several times, this did not fix it, however when i afterwards charged it with a htc charger i had FROM my powerbank it for some reason started charging.

[Q] New battery not charging

I bought a stock samsung battery for my galaxy s3. I am trying to charge it but it is not moving forward at all. I've powered off the phone, plugged in the battery and then plugged in a usb cord to charge it.
The results are the same no matter where I charge it.
I've tried two different AC adaptors and a usb cord to the computer.
When I plug in the power source, the phone vibrates once, shows the galaxy s3 logo, displays a battery charging status showing 0% charged. The battery is filling up green indicating that it's charging. It will perform the animation of filling the battery twice then the screen goes blank.
I've left it plugged in for a while now but it doesn't seem the be actually charging. I cannot turn the phone on with it plugged into a power source or not.
If I put the old battery back in, everything is fine.
I'm running the latest cyanogenmod m4 release.
The new battery you got is obviously a dud. Replace it

Plug phone into charge, but it doesn't

Ok this is weird and only started recently
I plug the phone in, it reacts to the charger, the battery signal shows it's charging, it says charging on the lockscreen, the settings/battery says charging AC but the phone doesn't charge at all.
EDIT - turns out my power brick is dying. Used a friends Samsung brick from his S5 and phone is charging quickly. Guess my old trusted 1A power brick just couldn't handle it anymore and decided to die a slow death

S6 not charging - weird problem

Hello,
I have strange problem with my galaxy s6. Firstly fast charging stopped working, next day I left my phone to charge at night, it was turned on with 30 percent battery. But when I woke up it was turned off with 96 and not charging. But when I unplugged and plugged USB cable it started charging again. Then few minutes ago I wanted to charge it again. And... It stopped working. I tested few chargers, few cables and even powerbank. If doesn't charge when it's turned on and when it's turned off. But when I turn it off and plug USB cable it shows me screen of charging for one second and then it goes dark. What could be the problem.? I'm on some kind of vacation and there is a lot of humidity in the room and electricity is kind of old. Could be this a problem.? Thanks in advance.

Galaxy A3: Screen turning on and off constantly while cable plugged in

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) which is acting strange with one of my chargers:
When I plug in the cable into the phone while the charger is not connected to the electricity the screen is turning on and off constantly while the phone is at the lock screen. The battery symbol doesnt tell it is charging so I am a bit confused why this is happening. When I did the same (plugged in but charger not attached to electricity) with under 10% I got a popup warning me that I shouldnt charge another device while my battery is low.
When the charger is connected to electricity everything is working fine
Every other charger doesnt trigger that behavior
Should I worry about this and maybe get another charger?
Thanks a lot!

Galaxy A5 is not charging, charging logo blinks while switch off charging

few days ago, my phone stopped charging, then i switch off charging logo starts blinking but no battery percentage was showing. but i kept the phone plugged in, maybe after 30 mins it started showing percentage, i turned on my phone and plug the charger again to check if it is fine, then i showed the charging icon and started charging slowly. but i discover that when i unplug charger , charging icon was still there. i keep using my phone for 2-3 days, shown no problem but the charging icon always on even without charger, i tried other charger and also check usb cable by connecting to a computer. after 2-3 days suddenly everything is fine. no issues for next 2-3 days, then the charging icon and slow charging came back as i fall sleep at night keeping my charger on. but this time when i plug charger, no charge icon, i switch of, usb charge logo start blinking after every 10-12 seconds without battery percentages, i kept the charger on, when i turn on phone, it was charged, battery was fine, but still when i plug charger no sign , but when i switch off it starts blinking , it,s been going on for days. and i,m concerned. Is this hardware issues or is it software... i want to go for repair but i am not sure how should i address the problem to them
