Hey everybody,
I really need your help. Yesterday when I tried to charge my S6 it did not recognized the USB cable. I repeated it a lot but it did not work. Today I've tried it again, when suddenly the charging icon showed up for a few secounds and disappeared. This happens four or five times and then I simulated battery pull. After this charging did work until it was almost finished. I want to try again to see if it was working, but now it does not work anymore.
I though about a hardware so I cleaned up the USB port and tried different cables. As charging did work for a full cycle I think that it cannot be an issue of the USB port. Battery seems also to be okay as it could be charged. Now I think about the custom kernel. I installed XtreStoLite with arter97 kernel. Could this really be? Or - I don't know - is charging not depending on kernel in any way? I would test it but (you know my problem) the USB is not recognized when I try to connect it to my PC. And I don't want to use the last few percentage of battery to install other rom whereas it has nothing to do with!
Thank you very much in advance!
The kernel can't be the issue if it has charged while you've had that custom kernel running, as you've said it did one cycle. Seeing as you've tried a different cable, have you tried a different charger at all?
Hi sofir786,
thank you for replying! Yes, tried some. Plus connecting to PC. Not working
It seems so crazy. As it was working once battery and USB cannot be bricked I suppose.
Also crazy: When plugged in it seems not to drain battery (but do not charge!). However battery is good (could be charged!). So I'm about to doubt in kernel ...
I personally don't think it's the kernel, but the only way you'll know is by flashing another through recovery(hacker and N0G33K are 2 alternatives). If after flashing a new kernel the issue still exists it could possibly be the battery itself.

Oh just a suggestion, try getting hold of a wireless charger and see if that charges it fine. I think at some point you need to do a factory reset or another rom if you can manage it all with the battery remaining.

First of all; I've used search and found nothing that fitted my problem. I hope I didn't repeat a existing question.
My problem is this:
I have an european Galaxy S running on Darky's rom. Since a couple of days, I've been unable to charge the Galaxy through the USB port, a problem I never had in the past.
If plugged through the USB to a computer, the phone is properly detectd, and I can copy files into it without any problem. If I leave the cable plugged either there, a car adapter on my car, or a wall charger, the charging animation is on, but the battery drains slowly instead of charging.
What I've tried:
*tried different batteries
*updated to last Darky's rom (Slim no wipe)
*read about battery drain, recalibered battery; installing a fresh battery charged on an oem dock), wiping battery stats from CWM, leaving the phone on until battery slowly died
*full wipe, factory reset
*disable voodoo from cwm
*updated to last Darky's rom (full with wipe)
Nothing worked so far.
I have no clue of what is going on. I did nothing strange or new before this issue showed, at least as far as I remember. I'm running now swapping the depleted batteries out of the phone.
I hope somebody could help me.
Thank you.
If Darky broke it he should have the solution .
I would remove Darky rom and flash stock froyo .
jje
I have flashed an older rom, I9000XXJP1, just for testing, and the problem is still there.
Could it be a hardware issue?.
Yeah we got one like this @ work, brand new and faulty.
The symptoms on the first day :
- Doesn't charge via PC or external power source
- USB mass storage is fine
- Still warm after at least one hour on idle (wifi, gps and bt OFF)
=> warranty.
I suggest that you put back the original ROM before it dies by lack of power and use your warranty
I think that's what I will have to do. I'll flash some old stock rom and send it to service. Pity I didn't keep the original one from Movistar network.
I'll look for it somewhere.
Thank you.
One question, was the screen on when you were doing this? I've noticed that the chargers usually don't have enough current to power the screen, the phone, and charge the battery all at once.
First of all. I have an international version Nexus 5 (live in Norway), I updated to Android 6.0 Marshmellow a few days ago OTA. Here is a shot the stock battery monitor, just to clarify what I mean. This thread is NOT about battery drain or anything associated with bad battery life.
A screenshot of my battery the day after I installed the OTA update:

A screenshot of how my "battery" has been today:
http: ----- //imgur.com/ZOOhuGo
Excuse the links, just remove the ----- and spaces. As I am a newly registered user, I am not allowed to post links.
After I installed the update, I used my phone normally for that day. Then, some time during the evening, the phone turned off abruptly even though it was at 15% battery power. Okay, I thought, and found the charger. Now I noticed that it wouldn't charge nearly at the normal speed. I was starting to suspect either the charger or the battery. During the night, however, it charged to somewhere right below 70%. Now it just seemed like a battery calibration issue. Fine, I thought, and searched up tips on re-calibrating the battery.
Sadly, it turned out that the slow charging that I had experienced the night before, persisted. By this time, I had tried different chargers, USB-port and a few different outlets, I had also tried replacing the battery with a spare I had lying around, all without any luck. As the phone creeped closer and closer to zero, while having the charger plugged in and the little lightning icon saying it was charging (although saying it was not, in the battery menu), I did a factory reset as suggested by some. The reset turned out to be futile, and for the rest of the day, the phone has been reliant on the charger to live, and the battery curve has been flat as pancakes.
Here is a list of what I have tried, so you don't have to waste your time.
-Different chargers, the ones coming with the phone, as well as a plethora of different brands I had lying around
-Turning off WI-FI while charging (someone on the Great Internet suggested it...)
-Replacing the battery with one I know work
-Factory reset
-Letting it turn itself off then charge it while off
-Turning it off while charging
-Charging it in the Fastboot menu (again... someone on the Great Big Internet suggested it)
-Checking the charging port for puppies and other rubbish that we have lying around there
-Keeping the charger connected for longer periods of time
Really the only alternative I haven't tried, is rooting it and rolling it back to 5.1 or something. Although I hoped I would not have to do that when I got my lovely N5 a few years ago... Any suggestions are devoured willingly.
So I seem to have a similar issue.
My Nexus won't take charge either, but I will admit to dropping it/replacing screen and battery and its been opened a few times so my issue, as well as yours, may be on the hardware side. I am convinced it is the charging board inside the phone, which is located at the bottom and connected to the motherboard by a ribbon cable. I am contemplating buying a new charging port board on etradesupply for around 15 bucks plus shipping since I wanted to sell the phone and get a N5X.
Damn thing couldn't wait to do this for another couples weeks....spiteful little phone.
So my question is, has it been dropped/mishandled? These parts are very tiny and can be ruptured with repeated drops.
Hey, thanks for the reply.
Yes, sure it has been dropped and abused like any other phone, but the reason I am suspecting this update, is that it happened the same day as I installed it, and that I hadn't dropped the phone for two weeks before that. You might well be right, and yes, I agree, spiteful little things! It could have waited a few more weeks so I get my new Nexus 5X/6P (not quite sure yet).
I suspected the update, but I've had the update since I was able to adb flash it, so I don't think Mallow is the culprit. The part will take a few days to come and I am going to try to diagnose it before then so I'll PM you or post here if anything changes.

Also, I didn't see this possible fix in the original post on your part for the battery issues.
Go to settings->location->location settings-> and turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning. Then go to Backup and Reset and reset network settings. Reboot and that should fix a possible battery drain issue that plagues Mallow for now.
It was MURDERING my battery, as well as several others. It's a known issue by Google.
slow charging of my opo facing since update of marsh mallow it charges at the rate of .35 amp and i m using stock rom non root and also using my opo charger and cable its totally annoying previously it used to charge at 2 hrs max now it lengthens up to 8 hrs i still dont know where the problem arose please help to make charge fast
Even I'm facing a similar issue. Phone suddenly stops charging,but have to disconnect the cable from the phone and reconnect it again for it to work. Charging rate is between 350-900mA

Wack for me, too--for lots of people. Hain't seen no plausible fixes offered, except revert to LP.
And oh yeah, it might've worked properly in the most recent COS.

You mean to say there is a chance that thus is not a hardware issue?
Faced similar issue long ago only solution found is to swift to Sulatanxda's rom.

My unlearned belief is that it is MM related, however I'm now back on LP and getting skewed charging also.
Here's some MM charging info:

http://www.tomsguide.com/faq/id-3050564/fix-charging-issues-android-marshmallow.html
In my case, something might've happened when I tried to clean my phone's micro-usb contacts--maybe I still had 50% alcohol (that means it contins 50% water, which is conductive) in the phone when I plugged in to charge, for example.

Will installing a new micro usb connector or a new battery fix it? If you happen to solve it then kindly update this thread.

I have not found a sure fix, and will update if I do. The prognosis is not good.
Just went back to stock CM11S, after a harrowing hard brick in which I thought I'd lost the phone, by misusing someone's tool.
Found an unbrick tool that saved my phone and my day:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tool-oneplusrecovery-tool-v1-0-restore-t2991851
So the phone is now on CM11S, and I don't see anything different charging-wise--I thought it would return to normal, but it hasn't--is slow.
The charge light doesn't come on when the phone is off and charging, but I don't remember if that's normal or not.
Will see how it goes, and post.
Now back on the latest SultanXDA unofficial CM13, with charging acting up as it has been with other roms.

I went back to cm11s stock. Then upgraded to official cm13.1 for firmware. Then installed sultanxda's unofficial cm13.0. Completely charged and drained the battery. Restarted the phone to be sure the battery was completely drained until the phone would not restart. Then I immediately repeated the charge/discharge cycle, twice. Then recharged the phone fully. I believe the charging works properly, that is at the proper speed up to 100%, and the charging status is accurate.
There is one other thing though--at home I use the phone for tethering, which I haven't been doing at my friend's house. I'll see it that matters.
The way I discharged the phone quickly was by leaving a movie running full-time screen at full brightness, but there are prolly other methods.
I'll see how it goes.

Reporting back:
The SultanXDA rom seemed to settle in with charging, so that now charging is very dependable, and it not affected by tether or heat.
I switched off to try Revolution Remix, and charging is again iffy, but not as bad as before.

Try changing kernel with fast charge enabled.......like boffela etc
At night I was left with 90% battery . But at morning I found my phone on floor dead. I tried to open it , but it shows empty battery. Then I tried charging then MI logo came and again showed empty battery and phone is not charging. There is no external damage to the phone as I used a rugged cover. What can I do now? I tried force reboot , fastboot etc. But no response , just MI logo and empty battery while charging.
I think, the battery cable is disconnected. You need to remove back cover and connect it. (Back cover is glued)
hi...i get similar (weird) boot/battery loop affer display replacement.
https://mega.nz/#!i5okTYKZ!738Dd_59oapTJt8Ab-n5PpOICzV0V1QZbxkASo-jbF8
first time i connected the lcd it worled ..but as soon as i assembled it again ...it started looping
not able to go in fastboot or anything.
any ideas?
Any help guys?
update:
i noticed that if i connect the broken lcd (screen completely dark) and connect to the laptop via usb it bootloop but after some times...(30 min or more) the laptop start recognize it . at that point i connect the NEW lcd (without disconnect power) and i can see that android is up&running...but touch screen doest work.
Any idea please?
Ok..if it can be of any interest...things are emproving....
Now situation is.....if i connect the new lcd to the motherboard....connect the battery and the usb cable to my laptop.....and i leave the connection this way for around 30 min....the phone boot up and it work normally.
The only problem is when i reboot it again .because it start looping again and i have to wait another 30 min to have a mobile fully working.
In addition ive noticed that when the phone is working...the battery is instuck at 50%. And battery settings say that phone is NOT in cherge even if the usb is connected to the mobile.
I belive that the charge circuit is broken....
Now i have to pray that is just the little pcb that cost only 10 bucks...more or less.....
---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------
Obviusly ive already tried a different battery and a different usb cable....
no ideas?

It might be a faulty flat cable between the main motherboard and the small board with the usb port? Just a wild guess..
Ia it glued to the screen assembly with a strong glue? You could try using the flat cable from the old display
i will give it a try and let you know.
thx for your help

Both chips responsable of power management and charge are on the main board. Hope they are not "broken/burned" in your case.
Hey guys,
I am having the issue that my OPO is not charging. It remains at 0% when plugged in indefinitely. As soon as I unplug the charger it will turn off immediately. When plugged in, however, it functions perfectly fine. I reset the phone and also tried different ROMS but I am assuming some hardware issue because switching ROMS or using a different charger and cable did not help. I assumed a faulty battery, so, I replaced the original battery but also that does not fix the issue. Did you experience a similar issue? I know that some hardware part is very likely not working properly but which one is it? Thanks in advance. I am hoping someone can help!
No idea dude..
My OPO works fine with the stock battery even after 4 & half years also gives 4.15hrs of screen on time.
