Charging problem/USB not recognized - Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers

Hi all,
Anybody experiencing slow charging from time to time? I noticed when I plug in the phone to the outlet it doesn't recognize the cable instantly and the phone vibrates three times then the charging indicator turns on! I tried to plug in the phone to my PC and it was not recognized by it.
Two days later the problem disappeared and everything was back to normal, charging fast and able to connect it to the PC.
Now a day after that it's back to the old problem!
I am not sure if that is a software issue or a hardware defect!
Any ideas?
PS. I tried two different cables and another AC adapter

Good day,
I am having the same problem. Any updates, solution or ideas regarding to this?
Hope for a reply soon.
Thank you.

I'm using XC but am having similar issues lately. This problem has also disturbed BatteryCare because it thinks the phone was plugged and unplugged repeatedly.

[Q] Optimus 3D not charging and freezing

Hi to all!
I have this phone about 4 months now, and the phone sometimes wont charge when I plug it in. Also, sometimes when fully charged, it freezes and I need to pull the battery out and restart it. I could not charge it last night and when I turned the phone off and re-inserted the charger plug it charged normally (apart from phone being off).
I have taken it to the dealership service since it could not connect to the wifi and drained battery really fast after that and they changed the usb socket and reinstalled the software. The phone passed all their tests, and it connects to the wifi flawless now, but this charging issue is really bugging me. I almost overslept one day not knowing that the darn thing has frozen.
The phone has all the stock firmware and the OS is 2.3.5.
Any help appreciated..

It's your cable mate i had the same problem the cable LG gave us is cheap you need to buy a good usb cable. I use my Htc desires cable not only does it fit it is stably connected and doesnt move about in the socket i use the lg plug of course but the htc desire cable... Sorted..
Before i used my htc cable my charging always got stuck and i would have to pull the battery now i don't have to do that.. Also the lg cable damages the usb socket on your phone quickly i suggest get a cable if it does that then have it fixed and never use the LG cable again...
Really?!
That is really good news than!
My wife has Galaxy Ace and I did use her charger several times in the past and I had partial success with it, sometimes it would charge, sometimes not, but I never tried it after servicing the phone.
I will try it, thanks for the reply...

Two minor issues with Chrome and charging.

Hello everyone!
Still very happy with my Moto, but I noticed two small issues and I'm curious if anyone else has them.
First of all, some times Chrome is flickering when I'm selecting one of my open tabs. It doesn't happen all the time and it only happens on the tab selection screen. No other apps are flickering. Chrome is updated to the latest version.
Also, I have a small but kind of annoying issue with charging the phone via USB. If my PC is on it's charging just fine. Charging from a power outlet works as well. I also have no issues with the battery at all, I am very happy with the battery time I'm getting so far.
However, I can't charge it through my PC over night. The cable is hooked up to a USB hub which is itself hooked up to a power socket. So even when my PC is switched off it still has power. I charged my LG Optimus 2X that way without any issues at all but it's not working with the Moto G. It stops charging when the PC is turned off. Is there a way to change that? I have a habit of just hooking my phone up to my PC when I go to bed so this is kind of annoying ^^
Thanks in advance for your answers!

Charging very slowly

My nexus 5 started chargning very slowly lately, and it shows that it is charging through USB, altough it is connected to a wall charger.
I tried a different charger/different usb cable - same results.
What can I do?
Maybe it has something to do with the recent 4.4.4 update?
Thanks

well it keeps happening, and I have to plug to phone to a pc everytime for a sec and then back to the wall charger for it to charge in a decent speed....
what can I do?
yeah, I have same problem. my nexus 5 after 4.4.4 update charges veeeery slow. after 2 hours it charges maybe 20% even if the phone is switched off. can someone help? should I do downgrade to 4.4.3?
btw. Im using stock rom, kernel, recovery,etc. no mods at all. stock wall charger which came with my phone and tried other ones with no improvement.
thanks
I doubt it's a software issue, or a hardware issue with the battery. It's probably the cord and/or the charger going bad.
I tried several different chargers/cords(sony,nexus4,htc,samsung) and it was even worse

Ever since 4.4.3 USB charging has been slow. Wireless charging is 2x faster.

Exactly the same problem after 4.4.4 update.

S6 only charges when phone is off

So a problem reared its ugly head a few days ago...
I tried to connect my phone to my PC to transfer files, but the PC wouldn't detect the phone. It wasn't charging when connected to the computer either. I tried different USB cables and different computers - same problem. If I turn the phone off it suddenly charges, which tells me the USB port on the phone is working. I also tried different chargers too.
My device is rooted, so I thought it may be the ROM I'm running. I wiped the device and flashed another ROM, but still the same problem persists.
It seems like a firmware issue to me as it charges when the phone is switched off. I hardly ever use the USB port on my S6 as I usually charge wireless. I tried cleaning any lint and dust out the port too using compressed air and a toothpick - it didn't help.
Does anyone have any idea what the fault may be?
Are You using USB 3.0 port? Cause I had the same problem. Usb 3.0 never recognised my device. Now after I flashed 6.0.1 the problem is gone.

Tried on USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and a power brick, Mac and PC - all the same result.
Similar Problem
I have similar problem too. My phone is Samsung Galaxy Alpha. Yesterday, I charge my phone using Pineng Powerbank and then i notice that it show the lightning symbol but the battery is not charging but decrease and my phone become too hot. Since I don't bring the charger, I'd try to connect with different USB cable to PC and the problem is still the same. Then I remove the battery for few minute until the phone is cooling down. After switch on the phone again, my phone quickly heating up but the battery is normal. I'd buy new battery for replacement but the problem still occur. My phone also is not charging when in safe mode and only charging when it is turn off. Then I made a factory reset and it's work. Both of my battery is working too. What is actually happening? Does the powerbank is the culprit or virus? Thank you.

Moisture/non-standard equipment error - need help

Hi guys,
A couple of weeks ago I started getting this "Check USB port" pop up randomly. It says "Moisture of non-standard equipment detected at USB port. Please check USB port and cable.". On top of showing up randomly, I get this error every time I plug the phone in to charge. This prevents it from charging so I have to charge it while it's off and it takes good 4 hours to fully charge using the original charger and cable. This happens with every power source and every USB cable I tested. But it doesn't happen every time, sometimes plugging in the charger will shut the phone off completely.
The phone never got wet nor was charged using anything but the charger that came with it or a USB socket of a laptop. I thought it was a software issue since it does charge when powered off but factory reset didn't fix the problem.
It's an Asian MHA-L29C636B158 I picked up in HK last May so no warranty for me since I live in the US :crying:. It seems like an odd error since googling it doesn't return anything that makes sense.
Thanks for any input!

same issue with my phone
i need help guys
Well try factory res first. Then try to update software. Try to rebrand to different region. If all that fails take it to a shop let them have a look at it. Best of luck.

I had the phone wet it even broke my speaker kinda works but the sound is bad and never had that warning.
clean your USB c socket with alcohol, I used a paper napkin drenched in cleaning alcohol to clean the contacts, it worked for me. had the same issue.
