thank you again for the response but my issue isnt anything that is covered in the thread u sent me. well in a way it is but it isnt. my phone USE TO CHARGER with any charger that had the mini usb and now it doesnt. the thread u sent had some great pointers on how to fix it with soft resets while it was plugged in, or try to charge it while phone is off. none of these seem to work and im running out of options on how to fix this. but thanx again for all ur help and advise.

I recently had the exact same problem as you and got extremely frustrated since every car charger at every store didn't work. I bought one that said it was compatible with the tilt the other day, but when I tried it in the car it didn't work. I figured at this point it was definately my phone being either a hardware issue or a physical issue. I got on the forum and through many searches I found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406771&page=3
Basically, my 5th pin inside the USB connector came out of allignment and wouldn't charge via car charger. It would work with the headphone adapter with the charger connected through there and then held tightly to the phone. This verified something was loose in the USB port. So what I did was:
1) Turn off the phone (**Very important to make sure nothing shorts out)
2) Take a small flat screw driver or other flat object and carefully push the 5th outer pin (on the right when looking at the phone resting with the screen side up) and level it with the other pins. (*** BE VERY CAREFUL SO YOU DON'T BREAK THE USB CONNECTOR MORE SINCE IT CAN BE VERY FRAGILE WITH TOO MUCH FORCE!!)
3)Test it out (YAY it works!!)
This worked for me and now I am happily enjoying my car charger with no issues. Activesync is also working better by not hanging on calender items. Hope this helps you solve your issue so you don't need to send it in to AT&T.

NAV charger
maybe it is mechanical.
but i have very similar obsrvations actually throuout my history of htc devices. they would "suddenly" stop charging thru non standard chargers.
the same happened to me with my tytn2 and a regulaar usb car charger...charged fine until one day it wouldn't anymore.
Although i have no technical explanation as to what happens in the device to cause such a change in "attitude", i figured a "stronger" charger could maybe help and purchased a USB charger designed for (i think) Navigon GPS devices. The charger is larger and obviously stronger and has been working for half a year now reliably, while all others wouldn't.

Kaiser no charge,only on usb

Hello I have a very serious problem whit my Kaiser it doesn't charge, only on usb. I have a PDA charger, and a car charger(may be this is it's name) but they don't charge my kaiser.
I upgrade the radio recently and than i upgrade the rom. After that i discovered that problem.
Moreover the mini usb connection port on my PDA is in bad condition.
Perhaps that is the problem?
Please answer me.

If the miniusb port is in bad condition, it could be the port that is the issue.
Normally, if only one charger isnt working, I would say it is possible that the power supply on the charger is either sub-par or no longer working correctly. However, if your car charger isn't charging it either, that is a bit odd.
Was everything working properly until you began flashing things, or is it possible you just did not notice it until now?

EDIT: I misunderstood the OP and posted incorrect advice, please ignore this comment.

Well, before the flash the PDA charged both with the car carger and the regular charger.
But in the past I saw, when I plug the charger into the Mini usb port the PDA's led become orange (you know that's mean the charge) but the battery's power was the same after 2 hours. And now I connected again and the led wasn't change...:S But the usb carged my PDA 100% for the morning...
Well neither the chargers aren't the HTS's official chargers and the PDA isn't charge eith them when I turn of.
But it's charge from the USB. I can't understand it...

Sorry I have no idea, this is out of my league, I'm a noob
Wish I could help.

I have had the exact same issue since six months ago, and MiniDevil is probably correct.
If you look closely on the miniUSB jack on your phone one of the contact (golden) pins should be bent down, rather than up (if you are looking it with your phone's screen facing up). On mine is the rightmost pin.
When this first occurred I went to various repair centers and unfortunately no one could offer me a fix. You should check your local repair centers, maybe you have better luck.
I don't know what works differently from a USB port to a USB AC Charger. Maybe someone can clarify this part.
Good luck to you sir.
- Jim

Thanx all the answers

seriously? the usb works but the ac chargers don't because of the pins?! gahh. the igo might work...they tested it out at an att store for me, i just dont know which it is..i probably have to go back..

[Q] Touchscreen response problem

I replaced the screen on my phone myself but somehow i lost the little flap that goes over the touchscreen connector, does anyone know where i could find a replacement piece for that? Or if there is something else i might be able to substitute for that?

I have no clue, but chances are it is some kind of insulator, could you not make something out of paper or card?
And your subject says response problem? Try a screen calibration.

Yea i tried a screen calibration but it always fails though. I was thinking about trying a card or something but i didnt know if it would be safe to use tape on that part of the phone, i might have to send it to Dell

Why start two threads on the same issue? and this one is in the wrong forum.

Because my computer was messing up so i wasnt even sure if this one even posted, is it really bothering u that much?

Yes, it bothers us that much.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

I have a question about the screen... I have a big problem with it...
So my battery often runs empty. So I need to charge at several places - at the computer, in bed, in my girlfriends house.. so i bought some usb-cables for the streak... and some usb ac adaptors, like for iphone, with 12V and 1000 mah output.
So, now the problem: The cables aren'T original, but they work great. When i charge the phone with the original charger and a faked cable, also no problem. But if i use any cable with a non-original ac-usb adaptor, the screen bekomes unusable. if you want to delete a letter in a sms than, you write a m and a b und strange words, i can see the swype-line doing what it wants. same on homescreen, cant press the right icons. if i unplug the charger, everythin works fine again. i also compared the data of the original dell charger and the alternative one, same output and mah-number....
Have you ever heard of this problem?
And most important, do you know how to solve it? (please don't tell me to buy an original charger, i dont want to wast 40 € for this....

Yes, same problem with Wagan Home/Car ac/dc charger ONLY when AC charging. Probably isn't good for device, but I've never had any battery problems. Screen issues go away as soon as charger is unplugged. I just don't use the device screen when it is on that charger AC only. Works fine in car (DC).
Okay, I won't tell you that the only way to avoid it is to use the Dell factory charger (but it is)
kraz

Well, it is not, just tried the ac adaptor from my sister, worked fine

That screen behavior is caused by unfiltered output of adaptor (china, is it?).
Can be at least partially solved by using a ferrite ring or USB cable that already has one.
For example:
http://www.dataq.com/products/hardware/accessories/fc.htm

for this orice, i can also buy a new adaptor and hope that this helps
but thanks for the info
(and no, it's from great britain, but made in china )

RadioShack part #273-0067 2/bag $3.19. I realize most recent poster is from UK. This info is for anyone in USA having the same problem. One on each end of usb cable gets rid of 85-90% of interference, and makes screen usable while charging with non-original (Wagan) charger.

i had the same problem. I cut a tiny piece of a business card (make sure its a sturdy one though and not regular paper). Place the cut piece over the connector but under those gold pins. works just fine now

Galaxy S charging problem!

Hi there, first post on this forum, sorry for any mistakes.
I have 2 problems with my SGS: (Running an ICS root, not sure which one, came with it on when I bought it on eBay a couple of weeks ago.)
1: I have a charging problem where it will sometimes charged fully, which I am happy with, but other times it will actually discharge whilst 'charging' according to the lock screen. It will charge sometimes, slow down, then go backwards after a while, ending up with a flat phone when I wake up in the morning... The problem started when I used a wall charger from a SG Spica, but then worked fine again when I used the charger I got with the phone. It has now started to screw up again which is annoying. I have purchased a new 3500Mah battery for it so I don't know whether this will sort the problem out.
2: The mini USB port is slightly broken so I have to pull up on the cable otherwise it isn't picked up and won't charge. This is also annoying as if it moves slightly during a charge it won't charge at all. I tried fixing it with a toothpick but it didn't really help. I think the problem is that the connector/contact is slightly bent.
Thanks for your help!

well, If there is a problem with your micro USB, than you need to fix this first, it may be the root cause of your problem
you can find a guide on How to fix it on My android collections link below

Where will I be able to purchase a new micro USB from? I think I would be able to do this otherwise.

This doesn't seem right to be honest... Charging 80% of the time, yet it loses charge...

yep, and if the USB pins are shorting in the micro USB slot or your battery contacts needs some cleaning, these can happen, as well it looks as though you have too many notifications or widgets running, also a reason for heavy battery consumption.

Charge problem

Hello,
I have problem with charging. The phone is charging very slowly or not at all. Sometimes I can pull out and plug in and then it starts to load (but slowly). I checked other chargers and cables. I wiped all and installed new roms and nothing changed. Yesterday I saw that phone is charging in TWRP (but not always). What could be the reason? Battery, usb port?
Thanks.

Turn it off and try to clean the USB port. Most of the times it's not damaged, just dirty as hell.
Use tootpicks or q-tips, blow it, whatever. Just try to get it clean.

I managed to buy a new bottom pcb with usb port on ebay for less than £10 when mine burnt out. Does the port smell of burning?
Very easy to change if this is your problem

The port doesn't smell of burning. I will order this usb port, maybe it will help. Thank you for help.

Today I changed usb port and unfortunately I have still problem with charging. I will try to change battery

How long are you using your phone?
If it's more than a year and a half~, i would recommend you to buy a new battery.
A lot of people having battery related issues in the last few months including myself and for me replacing the battery did the trick.

Before I changed the battery the phone stopped responding to the charger, also it wasn't visible in the computer, only in fastboot, I changed the battery but unfortunately i dont solve the problem

Hi! This just happened to me as well after changing the battery to a new one (Nohon). It only charges in Fastboot or Recovery mode. Even after factory reset and rom reinstalled. Anyone found a solution for this?
Edit: it does charge in normal mode but on slow chargers, no qc3...

I had the same problem, I'm suspecting something in Lineage 15 or some new firmware was causing it.
Unfortunately after i roll back it did not solve the issue.
I have replaced battery but it does not solve the problem, QC adapters just do not work.
The odd thing is that a low quality cable on QC adapters or non QC adapters will have no problem.
And somehow trying to block off the data pin does not work as well.
I've rolled back to Lineage 14 but it sort of "fake" charge, percentage goes up really fast but in reality it barely charged.
EDIT: seems like some of the oreo firmware was causing it, i have downgraded back to 8.4.19 with lineage 14.1

Hi guys
I have this problem a few days , plug charger and very slow charging , sometimes stop charging ! Reset factory not changing (org miui my rom and 9.6.2 version)
I can downgrade to witch rom of android 7 without break of antirollback ?
