Charging issue - Moto Z4 Questions & Answers

I have noticed while I have my Z4 plugged into the charging cable, when I try to use it... the screen acts weird. Like it doesn't detect any contact with the screen so it misses letters when typing and if i'm playing a game while charging, it won't register my interaction at all.
Anyone else noticed anything to a similar effect?

I've had this issue on my old Galaxy S6. Usually it's because of the charger.
Are you using the charger that came in the box?

Touchscreen acts weirdly when charger is plugged in

Anyone else have the same issue? Try thjs, open the browser and search something on Google. Scroll up and down slowly and while still scrolling, plug the charger in.
It actually says that you shouldn't use the product while charging.
I don't know why, but I have the same odd responses on the screen while charging.

I have it sometimes on my Xperia ARC " phone " Only when I use CHEAP charger ..
the Original charger doesn't have any problem with it through ...​
The galaxy s II on sprint did this with the charger given - plugged charger into phone, it was difficult to swipe screen away. Not sure if it was upgraded with some sort of firmware update, but my charger for the gsII got replaced and then it worked. Did you happen to not receive the update? I didn't and mine's a little off, as if something is sucking the cpu power in the background. I also see a slightly longer delay when turning the screen on and swiping. I can't complain that much though, it's not as bad as some
It's definitely the charger. You can try to twist the cable, wrap in aluminum foil or try another charger.
I've had similar issues with the s2 .. it was the charger so would guess same here on note

For me that is kind of hard to do, I mean scrllong the page while trying to plug in the charger cable at the same time. Why would you do it? Why not just stop doing any thing for the second or two that it takes to plug in the charger cable?

Note 10.1 acting very strange when charging

My note 10.1 act very strange, when i use it while charging, when typing text, letters will not work, and while surfig, pages opens without touching them, and screen zoom by it selfe when touching the screen, is this just mine that acts like this, i use an unoriginal charge cable, but stock charger
Have you tried using another charging port? There might be a fluctation in the port you are using. I had a similar problem with my iPhone where the phone kept doing strange things similar to the things you mentioned above while charging. I switched the port and then it was ok. The charge cable you said was unoriginal, maybe it's damaged, try using another cable and see if it works.
Hope I helped.

You're probably using an unshielded (or insufficiently shielded) cable, and there is a voltage leak that is messing with the capacitive touch screen. It's happened to me with various devices (though not this one, as I only have the original cable).
Try to buy an OEM cable, or at least something higher quality that will have sufficient shielding.

Slowest Battery Charging

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

Wireless Charger - Pauses / Flashing Blue

I have an S7 and the Samsung Fast Charge Wireless pad.
It has been working for a couple of months, and now suddenly it will not charge.
When I put my S7 on the pad it initially starts to charge, and then I get a message saying "Wireless Charging Paused" with a blue flashing LED.
I have googled around and for the S6 people mentioned that putting the phone in "daydream mode" fixes this problem, but I dont have this option on the S7.
Has anyone encountered/solved this issue?
For anyone else having this issue...
I googled around and tried 10 different suggestions, none of which worked. A lot of people seem to be having this type of issue.
Then, I unplugged the USB cable from my wireless pad, waited a few seconds and plugged in again. VOILA. That worked.
Sometimes the answers are so simple....
I also have a Samsung Fast Charge Wireless stand with the Samsung fast charge wall charger and cable that it came with, and a Galaxy S7 Edge. I have never had this issue before, but since upgrading to Nougat a couple of weeks ago this seems to be happening frequently (wireless charging paused). I tried removing the slim case (which I never had to before), rebooting the phone, vertical or horizontal, and it had no impact. I also found that unplugging the wireless dock and then back in again fixed the issue. I don't have this issue with the older non-fast Samsung wireless charging pad (small square one). I am guessing there is some new battery/charging protection in Nougat that is a bit buggy and causing the stand to wig out until unplugged.
This happens to me and is why Smasung makes the worse wireless chargers ever. Won't ever go near a Samsung charger again. I bought a new and cheaper third party wireless fast charger and it charges every time with no charging paused issue, so there's obviously quality control issues with Samsung chargers and they never seem to fix the issue. People need to save their money and buy anything but a Samsung charger
Wireless Charging of Samsung 6 edge+
I got a Samsung wireless charger a year or so ago and at first it worked fine. After a while I got tired of walking across my office every time the phone rang. I moved the wireless charger from the Samsung wall charger to a USB port sharing device on the computer. Admittedly I never looked at the notification on the phone when it chimed, I assumed it was charging whenever it chimed. It took a while (I must be slow) but I started noticing that the phone was not always (or perhaps ever) charging. However, It also didn't seem like it was chiming each time I put the phone on the wireless charger, like I wasn't putting the phone exactly where it needed to be. When I moved the USB plug around in the socket,the power chime was going off and on. Even when it gave the chime indication that it was properly receiving power, I (finally) noticed the phone showed "Charging Paused". I assumed it was due to a plug problem on the adapter. To solve that problem I moved the USB cord to a direct port on the computer but kept getting the "charging paused" message. Out of frustration, I moved the wireless charger back to the Samsung wall charger. Immediately the phone chimed and indicated that it was charging normally. So perhaps the power from the USB port is not high enough to consistently charge the phone through the wireless charger?
Solved
I had this same issue with my Samsung wireless charger.
For anyone having the issue, here is the solution that worked for me.

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...
