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 ?
Okay so I got my A2 replacement finally and it only charges while plugged into the computer. I'm on official OTA ICS and when I plug it in to the wall charger, it says "Charging (blank)%" but there is no lighting bolt and no animation on the battery icon. It stays on the percent it is at no matter how long you keep it charging on the wall charger. Am I going to have to get another replacement? This happened on 2.3.6 and 4.0.4 so I don't think it is a software issue. I also used 4 different chargers including a brand new one at the AT&T store and the battery charges on my friend's A2 so I don't think it is the charger or the battery. I charge my phone on the wall adapter overnight so I need it. This is such a weird problem.
Right, going to work so I plugged my car charger into my HTC One X but it didn't work. After a bit of footering it seems that with just the charger in the cigarette it seems fine, the htc sign lights up on the charger, but when I connect the phone the htc sign goes out and it doesn't charge. Turned the phone off and on, rebooted phone but no difference.
On arriving at work I checked it in another guy's car with my phone and got the same issue but when we connected his android phone it charged no problem - so it seems the issue is with my phone.
Plugged it into a wall charger and it no charge either. Still think it is strange that with the car charger it turns the light off on the actual charger. Any ideas folks?

Might be an issue with your USB port. Try cleaning it once.
If you are still unable to charge using different chargers, USB cables etc then its time to visit service center or a local mobile repair shop.
My S6 is 2 weeks old today and I noticed that fast charging (using adaptive charger I got in the box) has stopped working
Yesterday at work I put my phone on charge and went back to it after 20mins and noticed it had stopped charging.
I thought maybe it the 2pin plug point so I changed plug points and it starts charging.
Come back later and it stopped charging.
Changed plug point again and the same thing happened.
Getting irritated I put it on my wireless charge mat instead.
Today I decided to test the charger and low and behold it's now working but it's charging at the normal rate.
I tested this by using my old S4 charger and I got the same time to full message.
Before when I plugged in my adaptive charger it said fast charging now it just says "Cable charging"
Do you guys think it's my phone or my adaptive charger?
I don't have another adaptive fast charger to test with
EDIT: I was running XtreStoLite ROM, I used ODin and reloaded the latest AOD8 Vodafone SA firmware but still fast charging isn't working.
I'd say it's the charger. There have been instances of them shorting. The last Note 4 I had did the same thing.
Perhaps a silly question, but am I right in thinking that the fast charging only works when the battery is below 20% or so? I tried plugging mine in yesterday when at 40% charge and it just said 'cable charging' (using the out-the-box charger and cable)

When you use the fast charger, it'll say fast charging no matter how full your battery is.

Geez boet, how much does an S6 go for in SA?
I am having the same problem with my S6.
The fast charge doesn't work afree a week.
Last night I plugged in @ midnight with the original charger and cable at 5% and all apps shut down
It said "charging" and not "fast charging".
530am....only 97%.
This is pretty frustrating. It seems to have stopped in the last couple days.
Thoughts?
If you connect the USB cable to your PC and it detects your phone, it's proof that it's the adaptive charger. It happened to me on my Note 4, and I had it replaced with the warranty. Problem solved. Try it and you won't have any more problems. Garanteed!

Thanks - have now realised that I had to push the USB cable extra hard into the charger - that switched it from showing 'charging' to 'fast charging'

Oddly...when I connect it to my computer...it charges (slowly of course).
But the computer never detects it.
Update
@Biggenz the S6 32gig is around the R9000 mark
@BoondckSaint try another Adaptive Fast Charger, apparently even the Qualcomm ones work too. If it still doesn't fast charge take it into SCC.
@alanjrobertson my problem started out like that, I'd have to unplug and re-plug the cable in then it would work. Now more often than not it just doesn't Fast Charge
So, I took my phone in to Samsung Customer Care and after trying numerous chargers my S6 would just say "Cable Charging" and never show "Fast Charger Connected" in the notification bar.
They tested my charger on another S6 and S6 Edge and they both worked fine and Fast charge was working. Had the correct "Fast Charger Connected" in the notification bar too.
I had to leave my S6 there and they will repair it. The technician said it's either the USB connector is faulty or the mainboard needs replacing.
I'm abit disappointed now as my s6 is only 2 weeks old and it's already had to be booked in for repairs.
Hopefully no such issues for me - it seemed to be very much linked to the USB plug at the charger end not being the whole way in but will be keeping a close eye on it!

I hope its just the USB plug m8. I'm suffering without my S6

Have you tried depleting battery all the way down until S6 goes off by it self? Then charge it while is off all the way to 100% or leave it all night. Then see difference. Also one hint which is not quite related to your problem,but just for people to know. Fast Charging is NOT working from 50% and up to 100%. This is normal. So Fast Charge works from 0%-50%,NOT ABOVE!

The Samsung Care Center replaced the USB port on my phone and its fast charging again perfectly. Wasn't anything to do with the battery thankfully.
Before replacing the USB port the phone always showed "Cable charging" whenever it was plugged into the fast charger.
Now it shows Fast Charging in the notification area.
I am also having the same problem with mine it can be seen in odin but no mtp no matter which computer i use ... (yes drivers were correctly installed) also not showing fast charging with stock charger and about 4 different cables that i know work with it in the past. My phones been flashed will this void my warranty for usb repair ?

I took mine in and they fixed it. This was at the Samsung centre in my city. Took them a week because they didnt have any USB ports at their branch and had to wait for it to be couriered from Johannesburg
I'm having the exact same issue with my S6. Only a couple of months old and only showing Cable charging and intermitantly stops charging. I'd say definitely charging port. I've tried the samsung fast charger, the sony z4 tablet fast charger, my aukey quick charge 2.0 car charger and my aukey portable quick charge 2.0 portable battery. Bit annoyed
Same issue here. comp does detect it then it drops over and over. same with whatever charger im using or cord. 2 months old 920W8.
i see one of these in my future.........................

Charging brick/adapter, whatever, stopped working on Sunday. Plugged my phone in with 50% and about an hour later it was at 50%. WTF, unplugged it plugged it back in, charging light is on and it says charging. 15 minutes later, it still doesn't say charging rapidly, and it's still at 50%. GRRRRRRRR I rebooted the phone, nothin. I do a hard boot, still nothin. I grabbed my old 10 charging brick, and it starts charging normal. It worked fine with the 10 brick.
Contacted HTC, and they told me they don't have any power adapters yet since the phone is so new. I'm on my own. I escalated and got a support ticket number.
Anyone know of a power brick from amazon or something that will quick charge this thing? I can't commandeer the 10 charger, that phone is being used by another family member now.
You can buy any QC3 enabled Charger. Output should be 2.4A.
Anker, trusty source. Or buy an HTC QC adapter from Amazon.
Seems it might be the phone now, the U12+ charger is working again.
Its hit or miss when it just decides to not actually charge. If this keeps up I'll be returning this thing
maybe dirt in the connector?
