Battery charger fizzing

I've noticed over the past few days that when removing my charger from the socket that its making a fizzing noise is this something I should be worried about?

From what I've heard, a large percentage of the LG chargers do make this noise (including mine), and I guess the volume varies too.
It does mean that it's a cheap, crappy charger but if you're not seeing any side-effects (such as the phone shutting off while charging) then it shouldn't matter. However I would advise to switch it off or unplug when not using it.
Mine is fizzing as well. As a precaution I remove the charger from the wall socket whenever I'm not around for a prolonged period of time. For what its worth: my phone randomly freezes both when charging and when not.
Dont worry. It's pretty common for cheap SMPS's. What you hear is the power supply's switching frequency
Yeah I've had the auto shut offs to and was hoping that that was down to a software problem? Hopefully chargers are not to blame.

Why not? Easy to swap a charger (as opposed to the phone itself! )

X8 not charging. tried every method. charger, cable, none works

my phone just died .. JUST!
in the morning after the alarm belled, my phone can't be charge.
I used my cable or charger, none is working.
I think that it is my hardware problem ? ..
ANYONE HELP !!?!?
If the phone's on, reboot and try again. Or shut it down. Take the battery out. Leave it like that for 5 seconds. Try charging again.

If it is not detected, most probably you is having a faulty USB port

Hello,
One probable reason is that battery totally lost energy..use a universal charger to charge the battery for at least 30 min..try re-inserting battery to phone then..and charge via x8 charger

may be its because your battery life has exhausted and you have to replace the battery
or
your micro usb port on the phone may be damaged
or
the phone may be charging but the led light is just not blinking,simply leave the charger connected to the phone and switch on the power just like you do to charge any phone and wait for half an hour or so. try rebooting your phone.is the phone charged now?
Just try and unbricked ur phone.I know it's a battery problem but just try unbricking it.Make sure to make a backup before doing anything else.

AT&T HTC One lost 40% battery when it was OFF.

Had around 67% when I went to sleep. Forgot my charger at home as I was at my girlfriends, so I turned off the phone. I woke up this morning to see my battery at 23%! And while writing this post, I accidently turned it off again and now my battery is at 8%
Whats going on!?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Umh, you have the fastboot active?
And, the phone was hot?
Possibly android was reporting the wrong battery status when you turned it off. Charge your device to 100 percent then turn it off and on again without the charger plugged in. If it reads below 100 charge it again until it's full.

Yes, I had fast boot on. Searching around I turned it off. Didn't think that would cause such a drain...

Your battery could be defective but doing the steps I mentioned above will help rule it out.

Is possible that is this the cause
However, try with the other member mentioned
Thanks for the help guys. I guess it was fast boot... I tried it the other night and only lost 3%. At least it wasn't my battery

Because the fastboot is like the "sospension" of windows.
The OS is running in background with all the app open and all the service...

No.

No, it wont cause any damage.Also, leaving it connected to the charger overnight will do nothing. You can't overcharge a smartphone battery, they are protected against it.

You can read this info too on the XSP's user manual pdf, sony stated about the battery there
Just make sure you use original plug
Sent from my C5302
Battery won't be damaged by much while doing this. It would just be slower charging if you're using the normal 5W wall plug, or even see the battery draining while charging through connection with computer (via USB).
im gonna say yes
hmmmmmmmm

or your battery is broken..... ever tried to go back to stock?

Even with the 1000mhz bug, the battery wont drain when charging even from the lower powered usb port
You could try and use another battery for a while and see what happens. If that diesn't help i think you should go back to stock and see what happens.
If these answers don't help, then i guess that your charging port is broken and you probably should unroot the device so you can use the waranty...
I went to a samsung centre and bought a new battery and a new charger and it is working fine right now thanks for your answers people .
