[Q] Charging problem after XBox use

I've got a weird problem that I've never seen before. To start off, I've got a rooted/unlocked Sensation running CM7 alpha6.
I've got 2 USB charge cables that I plug into my PC to charge my phone, one is an old cable from my Nexus One, and the other is the new cable that came with my Sensation. I've never had any problems with charging via PC using the Nexus One cable.
Now a few days ago I plugged my phone into my XBox 360 using one of my USB cables to listen to music. When I plugged my phone in that night to my PC, the next morning it had only gained a couple % after 10 hours or so. So I was like WTF, maybe the cable went bad or got some corrosion on it, so I started using the factory cable that came with the phone.
Fast forward to last night, I plugged my phone into my XBox again, and guess what? I'm having the same no-charge problem with the HTC cable! The only thing I can think of is that the XBox installs some driver that causes the cable to become incompatible. But the weird thing is that both cables can still be used for data transfer, with normal speeds, they just won't charge properly.
Anyone else seen this problem?

Charging glitch?

Idk what the problem is but when I charge my phone no charging indicator comes up, if I leave the screen off for a little bit and turn it back on the number increases as if it is charging also if I turn the phone off and plugin the charger it turns on the phone instead of going to the charging mode, anyone else witnessed this problem? I've tried 3 different chargers and the same thing, tried reformaormatting and installing a different rom and the same thing happens running matrix 19 kernal...please help?

How old is your phone? did you try a new cord? I its not likely that it's the kernel or the rom. It's more likely your usb port

Also never had that happen... I would also say port or cord...
Any themes installed or a flashed battery icon?

No, brand new install...my phone is a year old and its charging just not the way its supposed to, I would really hate to send my phone in, any ideas on how to clean clean the port? I've also tried different chords as well as wall outlets the first time it boots up after a fresh format/install it works perfect as soon as the phone shuts off or reboots it occurs

I found out what it is, I have one of those wall outlet chargers with the USB extension for the chord and I think the wall outlet part of the charger is messed up because I can take the USB chord out of it hook it up to the laptop and the charging icon appears bit still charges with the wall just no charging icon WEIRD

Phone only charges from laptop

My phone only charges from my laptop. Any other way of charging, shows it charging for a minute then stops. If I mess with the connection it starts again but never maintains it. I have different wall chargers and none work, dock doesn't work either. All of them did a couple of months ago.

Bad charger

You probably have a bad ac adapter or one that doesn't work with the phone

Try a different USB cable. My phone only charges from my laptop with the cord I have (the one that came with the phone). Doesnt work in the way at all.

HTC car kit charging plug damages phone's usb socket

Hi everybody,
I have recently bought the htc CAR D170 car kit (the original of htc, with possibility to charge the device) and I noticed that, after charging it in the car, when I try to charge it with the usual usb AC adapter/cable, it doesn't seem to get the electrical connection as good as it was before.
The usb plug seems to be more "loosely" plugged into the phone's socket, if you move the cable it looses connection, and the bad thing is also that if I plug another usb AC adapter, the usb socket of my phone seems to damage the adapter's plug so that, when used with another phone or micro usb device, the connection gets unstable, too.
It seems to me that the usb plug of the car kit has somehow twisted the device's usb socket...
Did anyone also try this car kit? I don't even know if this is covered by the warranty...

The usb port on the One mini seems to be a little weak. My usb port became very loose after just 2 months, and after another month it stopped working with my usb data cable and OTG cable. Also took twice as long to charge using the mains charger.
My phone is currently with HTC to be repaired ...I hope, as this is the second time i've sent it in. The first time they didn't bother to do anything to it and sent it back to me saying there was nothing wrong work it!.. I'm hoping they don't charge me for this as this is clearly a fault with the phone. The usb port needs to last at least as long as the contract your on.
I had my previous Samsung s1 for over 3 years with heavy use and the port on that is still going strong. I'm using that phone now while I wait for mine to return.

Galaxy S6 will no longer charge from a USB port?

I got my S6 the week it came out, so I've had it for a decent amount of time, without any problems until last week. One day I experienced a sharp battery drain, and plugged it in my PC to charge. To my surprise it wouldn't charge! It shows that it's charging, but it wont go up in charge. The only way to charge it now is with its own fast charger.
I fiddled with it a bit, (cleared cache, uninstalled apps, etc. ) and I can say the battery drain problem seems to be fixed for now. But I'm still unable to charge it up via the PC (or a laptop) USB port. What may be causing this?

It should charge to any regular usb port. Did you try to other device with usb charging and see if it works? Maybe defective usb ports from pc or laptop i guess.

Yes - I've been charging it that way since the day I got it - no problems whatsoever. This happened suddenly, after the battery drained rapidly - I'm guessing something went bad inside the circuitry?
I've tried a couple different PCs, laptops and USB ports. I just stays flat, even thou the red light is indicating a charge.
The only way to actually charge it now, is with a charger.

Once a device goes near zero, it must be charged with a wall plug. After that it should be okay from computers. And it sounds like an app updated.

After recharging from a wall it should be okay to charge from your computer as long as it doesn't get below 5%.

Usb port is not sufficient enough i guess.
Try to make it at 15% at least using fast carge adapter and try the usb port. It should work.

I charge the phone everyday up to 100% (using its charger), so it's not that it's not charged. Regardless of how much charge it has left, it wont get any juice from a USB port anymore. Again, this wasn't the case before last week, so I know it's not the USB port, and I know that it should charge, but it wont. I'm thinking to hard reboot it, and if that doesn't work, to take it back for warranty service. I was just wondering if anyone else has seen such a thing before.

Oh so i guess it must be a hardware fault. Try bring it up to sammy center for them to check. No, I have not experienced that issue before. Normal charging via usb port works without problem.
