Mogul not charging with car charger - just wall charger.

I couldn't find a Mogul-specific forum - I hope this is in the right place! If not, I apologize in advance.
Just posting here to see if anyone has any ideas on this one..
The Mogul USED to charge with the car charger, then one day, just stopped working. It still gets charged by using the wall outlet charger.
I tried in another car thinking it may be my car - no dice.
I bought another charger off ebay thinking it was the charger, and that one does not work either.
I then had my buddy who also has a mogul try the car chargers, and both chargers charge his phone fine. I think the only thing I did not try is to put his battery in my phone, and see if it charges my phone.
I'm guessing though somehow it's the connector? But why would the wall plug work?!
My buddy's on his way over now - I'll test it with his battery. If it's still not charging I have no idea what to do. Could it be software related? Something I recently installed? It seems more hardware related to me..
Any ideas are helpful - thanks!!

Just a guess, but maybe the car charger uses different pins to charge with than the AC charger, and one of those pins in your phone might be bent out of place.

hmm, possibly.. I guess I'll call Sprint today. I tried another battery in it and it's still not charging - so it's definitely the phone

It must be a hardware issue.

I had the same issue with my car charger. It is a verizon universal one with a mini-usb connector. It is made for the Razr, Q, etc. I found that if i plug it into the splitter thing that came with the mogul, and then plug that into the mogul, it seems to work better. It also makes it easier to use the headset in the car while charging it too.

I tried that too - using the splitter and plugging the charger into that - still no worky
I called Sprint and they basically told me I need to bring it in to a service location, pay the $50 deductible, and get a new one.
I guess that's cool. haha

My problem is quite opposite to the above. I bought a samsung gt i5503 3days ago. Till yesterday my wall charger worked perfect. Today morning when i connected the wall charger my mobile was switched of with a warning " Android S.....! ( I can't even see the warning) and the battery icon gone red before it was switched off. I tried a few times but the problem is same. Then connected the USB data cable and it worked fine. But i have done a search in google and found a tip in XDA forum link. That is to switch of the mobile and remove the battery for few seconds and replace the battery. That's worked fine for once only. The second time the phone switched off again. Then i repeated previous step "removed and replaced the battery" and it worked again for once only. Now I have a doubt on the charger that from the first day some times it took too long to charge and some times while charging the battery level gone down quickly when i received a call. Suggest me if any other tips can help me..! or should i replace the charger.

Doesn't put out enough amperage, or different pins.

My Samsung gt i5503 switches off when charger connected... Plz need help...!
I'm scared to go to service center. All the mobile service centers are not so good at servicing in Hyderabad. i had the experience with nokia, micromax, sony service centers. They might fix the problem. But the other problems may rise after servicing. Help me how to fix this ?

Phone shuts down as soon as I connect to USB charging cable

Anybody has any idea if it's known issue. My phone just shuts down as soon as I connect USB cable to it. Be it charger or car charger. It shuts down regardless what condition phone is in (i.e. booting, fully booted, at ATT logo screen during boot). It just immediately shuts down as soon as detect USB current.
After 15 or so tries so far it accepted USB charge finally and does not show this symptoms anymore. But this happens couple of times a month to me.
I noticed that USB socket is loose on a phone, that is it can rotate along axis about 15% both ways. Is it normal for Captivate or it's possible loose contacts on motherboard?

I'm really sure the socket isn't supposed to have any give whatsoever.

Did you find a solution to this, I am seeing this now and I have 3 chargers home/car/work and all show same behavior. So if this is socket issue I am assuming it is my phone....
Please let me know if you found any solution...

My phone was replaced but issue still remains. It appears have something to do with battery and battery connector to the phone. Remove and reinsert battery couple of times and issue will go away.

On my Captivate, the USB (mini B) socket is absolutely firm relative to the outer shell of the phone. If that puppy has got any movement, I'd bet a buck or two there's a loose connection at the main board.

Captivate dies when plugged in
I just bought a captivate from ebay and it will not charge or sync either instantly dies ive tried two different chargers and even looked and soilder joints for usb anyone know what to do???

Contact the seller and return it.

A wrong battery can cause this. I bought a battery for Verizon Facinate. Although it is the same exact shape and size, the model # of the battery is slightly different in last two letters. And it will shut down the phone whenever I try to charge it. Switched to a Sprint Epic battery and all works fine. Obviously, Facinate belong to a familiy of Galaxy S i5xx, not i9000.

I am in the same boat...mine DIED completely....nothing is working...what is happening...who knows...
Thats just uncalled for..
any insight will help..
Thanks

I had the same problem and concluded that since the dock wouldn't charge either that it must be the charger that was faulty. I found that the charger seemed to work again after spending a few hours in my freezer. I read a bunch of posts from people with similar issues and this worked for them. Apparently the cold resets a sensor - seems improbable but who am I to argue because it worked. So give that a try.

this just happened to me, like 1 hour ago. neither the dock or the tablet would charge.
take the charger apart, i.e into the 3 pieces, cable, uk( or US/EU whichever you use) adapter and charger pack. check the small black pin at the bottom of the uk adapter, if that pin is broken off there is nothing to secure the 2 contacts in the right place and the charger will short out or not charge, if the 2 contacts dont connect properly the charger wont function at all.
the small black pin on the uk adapter on my charger had snapped off, so the charger wouldnt work as nothing was securing the contacts.
solution= get the super glue out! put some glue around the area where the small black pin should be( mine had snapped off), connect the uk adapter and the charger pack and most importantly make sure there is zero gap between these 2 pieces by pressing the 2 pieces together until the glue sets.
now put the cable in the charger,connect to dock or tablet, now charges no problem and has been the last half or so hour.
the transformer charger is a badly made pice of junk.

Wireless charging issues

Sometimes my Note8 does not charge on my Samsung fast wireless charger. No, this is not a position issue.. Sometimes, it just doesn't charge. The solid bluelight of the wireless charger although turns on. The only way for me to wireless charge again in this state is for me to reboot the phone.
Anyone else run onto this? Very annoying and it happens at random times.

I am surprised no one ran into this issue. The only thing I can think of that would cause this is some service I disabled.

I have the same issue and unfortunately have not figured it out. Mine will charge for about 10 seconds then will start blinking, I am using the dock fast charger from before the note 8 though not the newest one.

I had the same issue when trying to use the older wireless charging stand. I think it's a power issue because I tried an older iPad charging block (one of the bigger ones that has higher wattage or voltage or whatever) and it charged fine on the older stand. It didn't say it was fast charging but it did charge faster than average. I think I'll just stick to the newer charging base I got from the Note 8 promotion.

I had the same issue. I realized the case that i was using was the issue. Had to take it off to use the wireless charging.

I noticed the same thing recently. The wierd thing is, I also have the old original flat slow wireless charger and I use tha every night with a case, it just won't work on the fast dock one. Only without the case, or I think if i lay it sideways it works.

If it is not the case...
This issue has to do with power supply. Try different cables or wall plugs. I have had this issue in the past it could be sending too much or too little voltage. It blinks like that and turns off to protect your device from getting damaged.
I actually had to use an older wall plug to get my older wireless charging pad to work. The quick charge wall plug was pushing too much voltage.

if I remove the case it works perfectly. With the case its the 10 second deal; However, I took your advice and switched out the charging brick to another samsung fast charger ( all i have to test with at the moment) and it looks like it may work. I will see if I have a better one at home but it may just be with the case its having to emit more power like you mentioned. not sure but ill try that out for now.

I have three different but the same Samsung fast charger and I have issues on all three but at random times.. When it is not working, I just reboot my phone while on the charger and it starts charging again when Phone comes back up. I just dont get it.

Looks like a common issue where the old wireless charger (pre S8 ones) had problems. My fast wireless charger had no issues with the S7, just the Note 8.

Many users are facing this problem. While searching the web I found one user giving the best solution for this problem at Samsung community, He says that he has the same issue if the phone is standing straight up. However, when he put it on its side he never seems to have the problem.

Yeah. I saw that but its still not working correctly for me.

Anyone notice that it only charges when the screen is OFF?

I have this issue sometimes randomly on the new flat fast charger. Does this with my wifes S8 as well. My older standing type fastcharger that I got for my Note 5 works flawlessly. I feel like it's the flat fastcharger base itself.

Ummm... now this crazy phone is charging FLAWLESSLY. And I havent changed a thing...

LG Urbane 2 dont turn on

Hi, I have a smartwatch LG Urbane 2 (W200) , since a month ago I have problem with charging , it will not charge but when I squeeze it then it starts charging. And it took same time, but it was getting harder and harder, I had to squeeze it, I moved to somehow to start charging. Yesterday when I tried to install charger on my watch, the watch just turn off, I tried to turn it on again, and it turned on. When I put charger the next time the watch again turn off and after that it was no longer possible to turn it on. Whether there is a possibility of repair, , please help me determine what happened.

Are the pins on the charger bent? Or are the contacts on the watch corroded?

Pins on the charger is not bent, and the contacts on the watch they did not even corrodage, problem about charging is as the magnet on the charger slowed down over time.
But the biggest problem for me is the watch is now gone and no longer gives the sign of life. Any sugestion or help?

I had the same problem, could not fix it so I sold it on E-bay for parts. I really liked that watch but for me LG has been a big disappointment I will not buy another LG product.

the springs in the pins stick down and then do not contact the watch pads correctly, only the outside 2x pins are used for charging so I swapped one of the inner pins for the one that was sticking (requires soldering) and now working again, another solution would be to use a cleaning solvent - submerge the charge dock overnight this should release the sticking offending pin, not tried this method but should be just as effective, you can also buy replacement pins (I did this also)
