battery keeps draining even if it's on the charger

Hi, I have a little problem with my HTC One X.
Sometimes when i charge my phone, the battery level keeps dropping instead of increasing.
I had this with other versions of sense, and andriod too.
I also tried to plug the charger is a diffrent outlet, but that didnt work. And it also happend with other chargers.
Thanks in advance!
android version: 4.2.2
Sense version: 5.0

I too had similar problem with the stock 1amp charger also charging time 20%->100% used to be 4+ hours. but with a Samsung 0.7 amp charger, phone charges even if I'm using it also the charging time dropped to 3hrs.

I'm currently using a 1.0a samsung charger. I thought it came with the galaxy3. That could be the problem?

That might be the problem, don't you have the HTC charger?

I did, but i had the same problem, maby their was something wrong with the charger, ill check this out. It does change correctly with the USB in the pc.

Process of elimination would suggest the charger is the problem then.

If the phone is charging faster via USB than on the wall charger, than the charger is definitely broken. USB is usually much slower than the wall charger.

long charging time

Hi, i know this subject is already exists in here, but it still have no answer. My sensation need 6 - 8 hours to fully charge from 10% to 100%, is there someone can help me to solved my problem?
This happen everyday, so don't ask me to remove the battery and try again because i've tried it.

Are you charging your mobile via a charger connected to a power outlet or are you charging via usb connected to a pc? How old is your battery?

it is a common HTC's issue after rooting the device
everyone has percentage mireadings while charging the device

Has it always been like that or started happening? When mine started doing that I replaced my battery, charging times went back to normal and battery life was a lot better also.

It happens to me with my original battery which I think is dead because it lasts not much time. Buy on my anker battery it charges really fast, with the same charger. So the problem is your battery I think, as on mine

What rom are you using. Sometimes my sense 5 rom misreads ac for usb and charges damn slowly.
Happy to help.

If your charging via usb connected to pc then charging will be half day, its because usb port is for data sending and not charging, so USB outputs very low volt charge and so device like phone charges so slow
If your charging with adapter into AC outlet, you could check if your using right cable(there are data cables where there are little wires inside so again it cannot output that power to the device and there is cables for data+charge with bigger cables inside)
P.S. Stock HTC cable provided is not the best wire....
Mine sensation is charging about 2h40min from discharge(10% - 6%) to full charge(100%)

It's already happened for along time.
When first purchase it is not like that.
I've replace the battery, but not with original one nor anker, and the charging time become faster about 1 hour than before

what is a 1A charger?

Try to put your phone in a plastic bag, and put it in a freezer for a few minutes. Than take it out and try to recharge it.
I know, it's sound weird, but I've read on this very forum about that.
edit: 1A charger is a wall charger with charging current of 1A ot 1000mA.

how do i get a 1A charger?
is an iphone wall charger fine? because that's all i have...
and is it common that it wont charge up?
its so frusturating

I haven't said anything about charger, and I don't think there's problem with a charger. I just explained what a 1A charger means.

Actually there's a similar thread. Check it out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554976

It'a a common thing on Motorola Moto G.
Seems the wall charger is 0.5Ampere (0.5A) but it doesnt have enough 'power' to start Moto G up after a 0% battery drop. So, what you have to do is look for a charger which has more then 0.5A, like Razr i has 0.85A or like S3 chargers. Then you can charge your phone from 0% to 10% them Switch to its original charger

I mean the wall charger. You have to read on the iPhone charger what is it's output voltage and amps. (most important, volta (v) can't be more than 5.1v)
Probably iPhone has an output of 0.85A.
AFAIK all USB 2.0 ports can only provide 0.5A at maximum, so, it's almost right you cannot charge it on your USB port if battery is 0%. If you can't get a wall charger at home, or at work, try to buy one on a retail store, they have plenty of them. BUT, always check its output voltage. :good:

[Q] Phone charging extremely slow...

Hello!
Recently, my phone has been charging very slowly. When I first got my phone, it went from zero to 100% in ~2.5 hours, but now it takes about 5 hours to fully charge. I am currently using the stock charger and USB cable that came with the phone, and I have tried other cables and chargers to ensure that it wasn't my charger's fault (or my USB cable). I also tried flashing the stock rom and kernel, but the problem was persistent. Could it be a defective battery that is causing this problem?
My current settings:
Mahdi Rom 4.4.3 6/12
Stock kernel settings (no UV, OC)
No partial wakelock problem
Thanks!

Take a look at the charging levels.. While charging via a wall charger it should be between 800-1050 mA.. If it's below that, it's most probably a low standard usb cable or a charger.. Try changing the cable first and check the current.

I'm getting around 600mA so that's not good.. I'll try another charger and see what goes. Thanks!

FYI, I am currently using the stock charger and cable that came with the phone and still getting low mA. I just tried different cables and chargers and the result comes out the same. What else can I do?

Aah.. That's not good. In the OP I see that you have already tried going back to stock and checking the results?
May be you could try a different wall socket in your home? You could also try charging via a computer and see whether it's getting charged properly? (Fast charge needs to be enabled for this)

i charge slow on the stock charger/cable as well. i ended up buying a 5amp charger with two usb holes and a better usb cable, now i charge from 0 to 100 in about an hour and a half.

Thanks for your help, guys! Turns out most of the cables I own are faulty/below standard. I found a cable later that charged my phone at around 800mA. I guess I'll do some cable shopping later

Could it be something to do with custom ROM settings? Stock charger and cable should be able to pull 800-1000mA from a power outlet, I can't understand why some devices wouldn't be able to do so.

No. The only thing that would influence charge speeds is USB fast charge (charges faster on USB, AC still the same) and that's a kernel level feature.

Something that was overlooked was temperature. IIRC at higher temperatures the phone either stops charging or slows down charging in order to keep the heat down. This was done to preserve the life of the battery as charging batteries while they're hot could degrade the battery.

no. ive found in the past(with the n4), the default cable/charger also went bad quick, ended up using a nexus 7 charger/cable on it.

Battery won't charge over 60 %

New 64gb, charged for 3 hoursand more and the battery won't go over more than 60%.
Upgraded to R33.
How to reset or fix it.

Unplug the cable and replug the cable.
Also, are you using the stock OPO Charger + USB?

Battery charger
The charger blown after first use.
Now im using my old htc charger..
What is the charger spec?

On the top of my mind it is 2.0A, Google search for the rest of the specifications.
And that would be the reason why... you're not using the supplied charger. Sorry to hear that it "blown" up, how did that happen anyways?
Your old HTC charger is probably 1.2-1.3A.

I can confirm this. Worked for me. Not sure why with other cables it sometimes just stops charging, but if I unplug it from the phone, the replug, it works fine. I'll also have to do this sometimes to get to 100% (from 99%). No problems ever with the OnePlus stock charger.

Charged it with the original cable and my htc plug and it charged 100%.
