When all I have connected is a charger. No matter what charger I use, be it the charger it came with, another charger, no matter the cable, car charger, etc. It also often slow charges and takes forever to charge. Any advice/help?

Did it ever work? I will assume it did, could be a rouge app, could be a corrupt app, could be a hardware issue,,I would try to trace any recently install apps and uninstall 1 at a time first. Also u could backup everything and do a factory reset, lastly u could try the reset via ruu method for your cid/mid model. If after all that, charging ports are replaceable Just my 2 cents hth.
Yes, it worked fine. This only happened recently. A headphone icon has appeared at the top and I can't get it to go away. I haven't installed any apps recently. The "accessory not supported" message keeps popping up and interrupting what I'm doing. I can't charge it and use it. I'm thinking something is going on with the plug. Perhaps something happened with the pins? I don't know. I'm just really frustrated by this and the slow charging. Not having a separate headphone jack sucks. Also frustrated by the "cannot charge, using too much power" message, despite shutting down every imaginable app I might have running, turning off the screen, etc. I have to turn it completely off to get charging started. OY
I have the same problem i changed the charging board in the phone and still have the same problem.

Today my Triumph seemed to be draining the battery faster than normal, though I was also making a lot more calls than normal. I have a cable plugged into my PC at work which I plugged into my phone but the driver install window didn't pop up like it normally does and my PC's network connection got very slow. I unplugged it and my PC connection was fine again. I left my phone unplugged for the most part after that though I did plug it in once or twice. I don't think it was ever truly recognized by my PC at work today (it has worked before) though I'm not certain.
When I was about to go home I noticed my phone was off. I knew it was low on battery so I assumed that it had turned off due to low battery. It couldn't have been off any more than 30-60 minutes. I didn't think it should have turned off already for low battery yet though.
I plugged it into my car charger and my phone refused to turn on. About 20 minutes later i unplugged my phone and the red charging light was still on. I had to pull the battery. I then turned on my phone and it was working, but low on battery.
About 45 minutes later I drove home with my phone plugged in, but I didn't check to see if the charging light was on. The phone was still on. When I got home I tried plugging in the phone and I noticed that it was not charging. It still isn't. I have tried the following:
Restarting phone
Plug in while it is turned off (charge light comes on but not charging animation, must pull battery for light to go off. phone will not start while plugged in or charge light is on)
Try plugging into computer rather than wall
Try car charger
Swap battery to stock battery (I use an Anker battery rather than the stock. I haven't used my stock battery for a few weeks to a month. It should have been fully charged but only had less than 50%) and try everything again with same results
Right now I have my Anker battery in which was nearly dead (below 10%) plugged into the wall with it off hoping it will charge. My phone is mostly stock other than I rooted it using the b_randon14's method, installed b_randon14's tweak mod, and flashed in the Sprint PRL using a method from howard forums with the 60681 version. I had links but had to remove them due to not previously posting on this forum.
I noticed the usb cable is not solid in the prot on my phone, but it never was and doesn't seem any different. For example I can move the cable back and forth a little bit while plugged in. It remains plugged in when I do this and while the phone is off it knows it is plugged in obviously. Any ideas?
Ok... I left it plugged in while off for an hour then it started working... very odd. Nevermind then I guess, lol.
Saw this thread, was going to suggest that. Your issue seems to be one that happens across all sorts of devices that have rechargeable batteries, even Android phones (and especially $&!t MP3 players that you'll find at K-Mart). I once made the mistake of buying a $30 MP3 player that refused to turn on once its battery dropped to a certain level. Twice. From K-Mart, of course.
Thank goodness for returns.
I am still having issues and it is really frustrating. Sometimes it will charge when on, some times it won't. The only thing I think MIGHT be common between when it does and doesn't work is how much battery is left. I think it might work more often when the battery is closer to a full charge. What I often do is plug in the phone, shut it off, it will charge but charging animation isn't there and I cannot turn it on until the charging animation shows up. I think it only shows up when the phone is fully charge or close to it (I've only ever seen it when it is fully charged).
Unfortunately I don't have a lot of concrete information on this as i haven't had much time to troubleshoot and verify any of my suspicions. I do know that USB Debugging has nothing to do with it and clearing my battery statistics didn't have any affect either. This issue is very frustrating and I believe are all software based, not hardware.
Any ideas or pointers?
Out of curiosity, have tried a different USB cable? I know that you talked about switching chargers, and I couldn't tell if this was just the base unit and you plugged the same cable in or, if it was a completely different charger and cable.
I have a wall charger with a usb cable at my office, a wall charger with a (different) usb cable at my house, and a car charger with its own non detachable usb cable. All have the same issue.
Ok, first a little background on this issue...
After having my S3 for about 13-14 months I started having charging issues. The charging port was very "loose" and I had to make sure my charger cable was in just right to get my phone to charge. This was annoying, however was out of warranty and didn't want to pay vzw for an insurance claim. This got worse, and eventually I noticed my phone would only charge with 1 specific usb cable, 1 specific wall charger, and 1 specific car charger.
Well, I finally called Samsung and explained the situation to them and they had me chip my phone to them and they would repair it, free of charge. When they had it, they replaced the charging port, the headphone jack, and the screen. I received the phone back after couple weeks, super excited, and immediately charged it up with the cable I had next to my bed. New charging port felt perfect, nice snug fit, etc... Well, after a few days i hooked it up with the original usb cable that came with the phone, nothing happened. So i started messing around and realized that the only usb cables that will charge my phone are Motorola brand cables! At least the 2 cables I have work, and not a single other cable I've tried works! This includes stock Samsung cable, many cheap 3rd party cables, other friend's S3 cables, none work. Also, I have this cheap car charger that is the type you plug a USB cable into that works, however any other car charger I've tried does not work either.
Also, when i say the cables won't charge my phone, it also won't connect the phone to a PC. They do absolutely nothing.
Does anyone have ANY idea why this is happening?!?! It was an issue before Samsung repaired my phone, they replaced the charging port, but I still have this issue!! I can send it back to Samsung for them to look at it again, however my backup phone, a Razr Maxx, just died also. Seems like the battery went dead and now I can't get it to charge, but that's another issue.
So, any ideas?!

What rom/kernal
It doesn't matter. It does this when it is totally stock and rooted. Right now I'm not rooted or anything because it looks like it may be going back to Samsung again.

I think the smart charging circuit may be messed up
Really? How would that cause the phone to not work with any cable except a certain brand?? I'm just really curious and this is driving me insane!!

I would say you are putting mechanical stress on the charging port. This could be from some misaligned or mis-made cable or somehow pressing or pulling the charge cable when its connected. I've never seen this reported by anyone else, but the mechanical connections are not indestructible. If it were a common symptom with 100 million S3s having been sold, there would be a firestorm of complaints.
I have a similar issue. I'm not sure if it's the device or the ROM (CM nightlies).
Certain cables force the screen to turn back on, which means I get negative charge because the screen burns more than the charger is capable of supplying. Other cables are fine. I'm still looking for the pattern, it's super annoying and causes me to have to turn my phone off completely at times so as not to lose my battery altogether. I'm still trying to solve this, any help would be appreciated.

Further info- it's not the cable, it's the converter at the end. I think it has to do with amperage of the charger- if I use the stock samsung one I'm good, it's putting out 1.0A. If I use others that are fewer amps (like 700 mA) it's unpredictable. I suspect a kernel thing, I might download different kernels to play with it.

Always use chargers that is 1 A - 2A the circuit controls most of the charging regulating amps and voltage
Yes, I agree about using good chargers, but my phone wasn't always this way. It used to charge with anything, but no longer.
I enabled fast charge on Imosyen's lean kernel. That might have made a difference, but I'm not positive yet.
Alright, so here is a fun issue to deal with. My notepro has always been a little slow to charge, but most of them are. However, its gotten very bad.
I have had issues with screen flicker and a little heat issues and some other small things off an on. So, fed up with it, a few days ago I rooted the tablet. It worked fine. Then I tried to install a new kernel and rom that was getting good reviews. However, when i did this, I couldnt get past the boot screen. Several reinstalls of stock and customer kernels later, my tablet started flashing and eventually died. When it was plugged in, it would show the battery icon with a circle in the middle but then die. Several tries to fix only seemed to solidify the tablet's fate.
However, yesterday I gave it another shot. I assumes the tablet had heated up and made the solder loose, so after a while it was solid again. It started charging, and after reinstalling stock rooted rom and stock kernel repeatedly, it was working again. I then installed the rom and kernel I was trying to before (I had to have a custome kernel to be able to control voltage for the screen flickering issue).
Now it is actually working. All functions are working, and oddly enough I am not seeing any screen flickering.
Only one real problem remains. Battery charging. The battery is charging so slowly that when the tablet is turned on, it doesnt charge at all, it creates a stalemate between charging and draining. It also drains pretty quick. The power drops about 5% in about 5-10 minutes of full screen brightness use (I was testing it this way to try and see if it would flicker again.
Its been charging for about an hour now, and only gone up 5%.
I have tried a couple cords and different bricks, but to no avail.
There are some thoughts, I am wondering if the tablet is only drawing power as if charging from usb, so only around 0.5a instead of 2.4a or so . I am also wondering if there is still a hardware issue.
I do not think it is the rom or the kernel, as this issue was happening as well after I got the tablet working again on stock but before I tried isntalling the rom/kernel again.
Any suggestions? I would be very appreciative.
I had simular problem with very slow charging, reboots and bluescreen. I opend my note to check battery plugg for broken soldering, but I found no problem with it. But to check turely i unplugged battery from main bord and replugged it again. After that I had no problem at all, now its charging normal, no reboots.. stil working perfect after averyday use for about 8 mounts......
If you are using usb cord not usb3 cord it will charge very little when using tablet . Mine will charge when off and below 25% to full in 7 or 8 hrs overnight.

Could be a bad charging port dock/flex cable. These are actually pretty easy to replace and can be found on Amazon. I had to replace one on mine. Try searching for a usb charging port dock flex cable for samsung galaxy note pro. That will cause the issues you are seeing. However the screen flickering sounds like a voltage issue caused by a cracked solder pin from the battery connection to the board. Which is very common on these and hard to see without an electronics magnafication glass. You could try taking the back off and pressing the battery connection firmly while plugging in your tablet and powering it one to see what happens. Either way sounds like a hardware issue.

Ok Guys, had the same problem with my 12.2 samsung tab pro, changed usb chargers, cables etc.
Found that the connector on the tablet itself (female) did not made good contack with the male usb.
So i simply , very careful, with a pair o pliers closed both tips on the usb conector, so the cable enters more tight. And voila, the usb amp meter i had showed a rate of charge from .33 amp , jumped to 1.73 witch is more than enough to charge and use tablet at the same time.
You need to do this at the end of the cable that plugs on the tablet, that is kind of double, maybe a e.0 usb or something like that. Make sure to close both tips. You want a tight connection
Since my pixel finished it's automatic update today, I can't charge my phone anymore when the phone is on, weird thing is, it is actually draining the battery when type-c cable plugged in. The only way that I can get the phone to charge is to turn off the pixel completely and insert the charging cable again.
Anyone has similar problem?

Have you tried a different charger, different cable, flipping over the usb-c connector? I realize that none of these things should matter but you've gotta troubleshoot. Also, I've heard of people not actually pushing the cable all the way into the phone and not realizing it.
I had this happen once yesterday. Had to restart, then it started to charge. Used my 6p charger as well as stock -- neither worked until restarted.

Not pushing the cable in all the way happened to me once. The edge of my case held it out a bit and I didn't realize it. I just have to pay a bit more attention when plugging in
So I've been using this phone for 5 months or so, and I've discovered a very unsettling thing. The charging cable has started to get loose while plugged in. This happens most with my third party charger at work (which wont stay in on its own), but also with the original charger I have at home. I cannot charge and use my phone in bed, because with the slightest shift the cable disconnects.
This also happens with the USB-C headphones and dongle, they wont stay connected while listening to music. Now, I mostly use bluetooth earbuds (which makes this weirder, because this should put less stress on the port) but this is just not acceptable.
I've calculated, and with every night charging, with some extra times for music and such, I've plugged/unplugged a cable only about 200 times. Does anybody experience the same issues?
Same here @xxxmarienxxx . Just started with this issue this morning. It was all good until last night. Any solutions yet?

I had this problem with my Moto Z Play. Have you checked to see if there is any debris/lint in the usb C port on the phone?
Sorry for stupid question/proposal, but could it depend on what phone case you use or rather combo of phone case and USB cable. I use the standard case supplied with the phone and have no problem with standard USB cable nor the standard headphones, but I have similar issue with a non standard car charger. When I remove my case it works just fine, ie it is not loose.
I've had my phone for 7 months and I would say I charge at least 2 times per day (to work and home from work) and I use headphones at least ones a day.
Yep. Same problem here . Already using a new cable for a few months ?
Was there ever a solution to this issue as mine is doing the same but will only go half way in, no debris and nothing is bent out of place in either cable or phone charging port.
Same issue, contact Huawei support.
Visited the three shop today and the girl told me this was a common problem. She showed me her phone and the cable goes all the way in, mine only goes about 3/4's of the way in and had been fine up until this week. She told me there is a 2yr warranty that they will/should honour. (Huawei). Going to contact them later and will let you know how I get on.
Charly.
Charging pin issues
Hi guys, if you're battling to charge your p20 cos plug cannot go right in.. Just use a sewing needle put it into the port and scrape off, u will be surprised as to how much muck u will pull out.. Give it a try
Cleaning with a needle
Thank you @Veejag. Using a needle worked perfectly for me. You were so right. I was surprised and shocked at how much dust and crumbs came out of the port. If you have this problem give the needle a go.
Mine also does that. One day supercharging wasn't working anymore, moving the plug, it alternated between fast and slow. Cleaned the usb port, supercharging started working, but the headphones keep disconnecting...
Scratch that, tried another pair of headphones, with the adaptor, they don't disconnect. It's most probably the cheap Huawei headphones' fault (they came with my p20 Pro)
