Hi Folks,
Sorry id this has been posted before. Did a search but could not find quite what I was looking for, or someone with a similar problem.
My Galaxy S is discharging while it's on charge through the power point or through USB. When I go to status under settings, it's telling me that the handset is charging but the battery on the status bar doesn't have the thunder across it nor it is showing the charging animation.
I have reset the handset, even tried different custom roms and all the usual troubleshoots, but nothing is helping.
And when I plug the handset through USB, It doesn't recognize as it being on a USB but just starts charging as a normal AC charger.
Is there anything I can do to stop this problem or am I wasting my time and just take to get fix?
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried using a different USB cable?
Yes, I have tried 4 different USB cables. I have also tried 3 different batteries but it still wont solve the issue.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi.
My xda stellar is not charging but in a very strange way...
The orange led is glowing and in power menu i get the "charging" notification but in fact the device is not charging... :S What's wrong??
I think that it happened after i tried to charge the device using a motorola charger. I don't have the original charger i used to charge it with an htc mini usb charger that i had.
The pins of the usb port seem ok...
For the moment i'm charging the battery outside of the device.. :/
Any suggestion?
Could be an old dried used up battery.
I tried a second one(new) that's not working too.....The device was working perfectly until i tried the motorola charger..
Hey, I'm having the same problem and I seeing as i brought the phone second hand it didn't come with an official charger and just used the USB mini i have laying around. Again I have replaced the battery thinking it was that. Nada. Still doing it.
I've taken the phone apart and cannot see anything wrong.
So I was wondering until the problem is solved, how are you charging the battery externally?
Thanks
I'll try to be as brief and to the point as possible:
A couple of days ago, plugging my standard charger into the phone would no longer charge it. Tried switching cables, adapters, outlets, nothing worked.
I read about the toothbrush solution online, and cleaned out the USB port, but that also did nothing. However, if I remove the battery and put it back in, it DOES charge after that. Until I unplug it again, then it won't charge unless I remove the battery again. It's the only way it'll do it.
There are also two new things corresponding with this charging problem. First is, whenever the phone is charging and I unplug the cable, a little notification appears that says "USB connector connected". This doesn't happen when I plug it in, only when I unplug it. Second thing is, BetterBatteryStats tells me I have a kernel wakelock called msm_dwc3 and it is eating my battery alive. I never had this particular wakelock until the charging problem started.
Any ideas? I've had trouble finding out what exactly msm_dwc3 is and if/how it's related to my problem. I've ordered a new charging cable (don't think that's the issue) and a new OEM battery as a last ditch effort to fix this. I've done a factory reset on my phone to see if that resolved it, but still no dice. Problem remains.
Thanks!
This just started happening to me also. Hopefully someone can help us out.
Update
I just received a new oem charger with a new oem charging cord and the problem went away. Hopefully when you get your new charger your problem will be solved also.

Unfortunately I haven't had the same luck. Still having the issue. So now whenever I need to charge the phone, the easiest way I've found is to turn it off, plug it in, wait for the charging graphic to appear, then turn it back on. That works, as long as I don't unplug it. Once it gets unplugged, it says "USB CONNECTOR CONNECTED" and won't charge anymore unless I re-do everything. This is after trying new OEM charger, cable, battery, the whole works. It's a mystery to me and there doesn't seem to be a fix.
Same problem with me, i bought an used note 3 and came with the battery draining, tryied many rooms so far, differents kernels, bought an oem battery and the problem persist, today i just realized this wakelock msm_dwc3 was draining the battery and all the information i got on google says the charger could be the problem. My note 3 didnt came with original charger and cable, i m using my tab 3 original charger 5v 2a and the cable, i dont know what to do.
Hi all,
I've looked through several threads before making this one, but couldn't find a solution to my problem. I've got a Tmobile 32GB Note 5 that never had any problems with fast charging and as of today, it no longer fast charges. I've got several OEM fast charger adapters/cables along with the fast wireless charger and none of them are fast charging my phone. I've cleared the cache partition, done a factory reset and nothing seems to be working. I've also made sure that the option to fast charge are turned on in the battery section and no dice. It used to display a toggle to fast wireless charge in the battery settings as well, but that option doesn't appear anymore.
One other interesting thing is that whenever I'd connect the cable I'd get the USB message which never appeared before. Even when I did restarts, the USB message would always appear in the notification despite no USB cable being plugged in.
I'm very frustrated about this as I've been trying to work what's causing this problem and I've tried most tips/solutions, but having no luck.
Any help would be appreciated and thank you.

hi,
Firstly, i dont think i could give you a positive
answer to your issue, but maybe some pointers
to consider.....?
Ok, Secondly i found that fast charging does not
always have a positive effect on your battery. eg battery life
Even more frustrating when your battery is sealed
and if you want to ever change the battery , you have to pay Samsung /service provider to do the job.!
Thirdly, i had similar issues(like you) with fast charging my Note 4 and Note5.
My Note5 also suddenly stopped fast charging and
would only "cable charge " (re Notifications bar)
I tried all sorts of settings combination, nothing worked. Like you i became frustrated because I could not sortt issue out.
A few months afterwards i swapped my usb power cord around and used my old Note 4 usb cord... suddenly fast charging, was back?
(Why i dont know, as i did try out different combinations.... then.)
Ever since i started to take note/ (info) of the effects on battery fast charging. eg Forum members experience and remarks, my own personal experiences Web articles//opinions etc.
Came to conclusions fast charging , will /could shorten you phone battery life eventually? Not good.
I think even Samsung realizes it (my opinion)
So now i have my fast charging back, i mostly cable charge.!
Good luck

i have the same problem but just removed the charger activate the power saving mode connect again the charger.once the fast charging is working u can deactivate the power saving mode.repeat the process if its not working.
Replaced battery, which had some charge in it, I connected it to the computer and the charger and got the lightning bolt, however the battery showed not charging, the USB connection to the computer was fine and was able to transfer files, unfortunately couldn't flash a new rom as the battery power was too low, also tried probably too late to go into the stock recovery and it just turns the phone off, before the battery was completely drained the battery charging icon looked normal with it filling up, now it comes on, but no filling up
I also put it on the wireless charger overnight and it did nothing
stock 6.0.1 no water damage, motherboard looks fine
is the phone a lost cause? anyone have any ideas?
thanks for your help peeps
Steve
Did you try a different cable?
yes, I tried 5 different cables that all work with my other phones, I did search for solutions before posting, I just didn't find anyone with a charging issue that was able to connect to the computer
thanks for the suggestion though, I appreciate it
If it's the battery, then replacement batteries are super cheap and it looks like a simple operation.
Hi,
My honor 4x has started showing weird kinda charging issue. It doesn't charge when power ON. When switched OFF it charges. But really slow. Believe me its really slow, like 1% in 20 mins or so. And not like the usually charging way too. The screen periodically shows up the charging icon every 8 seconds. Tried using different cables, different adapters, hard reset, wiping cache partition, cleaning the chargin port of the phone, but still no changes. Hope someone to help me with this.
Thanks
use ampere to check the current the phone charges at, could be a problem with the phone port if changing cables does nothing
I tried. But since it doesn't charge when it's on it didn't show anything. Ampere was showing discharging even with the charger connected.
Thanks

theres a problem with the charging port on the phone then, take it to a repair centre if under warranty
Just go and repair the charging port if broken
