Help! My phone isn't charging. - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

One day I was away from home and my battery was low. So I had to use a Sony Xperia charger. But now my phone has problems charge.
problems such as:
-it won't charge
-it only charges to 50%
-the charge cuts in and out
-I have to leave it still or it won't charge.
Has anyone had these problems occur. This is really annoying and I would like to find a solution ASAP
*and the only charger that doesn't cause this problem is ny nexus 7 charger. But I don't want to use it. Because when I tried it, it said it's not compatible and will damage my device.

Unfortunately it sounds like the micro USB connector port may be partially broken. Did you try a different USB cable with the stock charger?

Sorry, that was my only work around. I think you need to get the hardware repaired.

If your phone is charging half way through then It should not be the connector. Try charging through the use if laptop. Try clearing the battery stats if rooted else back up your phone and try restoring it to factory settings.

HI
greetings,
I think its a hardware problem
might be the micro usb port of the cable has to do something
try any of your friends htc cable and plug and see if the problem exist then its not the cable but the phone ....
best way is to take your phone to htc service centre

my galaxy won't charge

hi im having problem charging my galaxy, it won't charge at all after the battery died out once when i plug it into a power source the loading circle comes out then battery than it repeates everytime. Is this the way a galaxy charges i never had a phone like this before.
I am new to this forum and I am having the same issue, I got my phone yesterday and now I am only getting the gray battery with circle flashing every 10 or 15 seconds, I have tried switching wall sockets and usb ports
Any help will be helpful. Thanks
Mario
What was the problem... mine is doing this out of the blue. Thinking it is the battery but let me know what your problem was ...
The charging / micro USB socket could be broken. Does it work if you wiggle it around a little bit?
Alternatively the actual plug / socket could be broken. Have you tried a different one?
Have exactly the same problem.
SOS Folks.

I have two battery's for my Galaxy S - the same results on each battery. Bin today to a technical store they have made an examination of the USB. No hardware issues, must be software.
Will flash back to a stock GB.
Results coming up later.
Right now on: MIUI MintBerry Edition 1.12.2-2 (2.3.7)

I found the charger that comes with the galaxy s is to be blunt, ****. Mine packed up after a few days so I bought a non geniune one from fleabay and thats been fine.
With stock GB the issue still pressist. I will also try with a different charger, hope it will work.

Extreme battery drain

Hey guys,
I connected my phone to my PC over night for charging as always but when I got up and took my phone it only had 4% battery! It's like the battery just wiped itself from a moment to the other. And now when I try to charge it again the light shows it charges but when I turn on my phone after 30min the battery didn't charge at all... Did anyone experience this before? Do I have to buy a new battery?
Sounds like your battery is shot. So you may need a different battery.
Try different cables etc but if that doesn't work you need a New battery.

Tried a few cables. Weird thing though: In recovery it says 32% and when I boot it up now it says 9% but doesn't really change. Seems like the battery is screwed up... Could it be that the Desire HD has got the exact same battery? Because if it's so I could try with the battery from my dad's DHD...
EDIT: Ok, it's not the same This is gonna be expensive...
EDIT2: So I got my new battery but the phone still drains too fast imo and I can't really charge the battery to 100%... Is sth wrong with the USB-port??

This might help.
Let your battery drain completely and let your cell get switched off.
And then in switched off state, charge your phone completely.
Switch it on...Use your cell as you do it regularly.
Repeat this procedure 3-4 times.
You will be surely benefitted.
did you try plugging into the wall? different USB port?
I had similar issue awhile back that it didn't want to charge with USB but with the AC adapter it worked fine. Also noticed it wouldn't work with USB at all I sent it in for repair and it was apparently USB port broken. Then I had to send it in again because when they fixed usb they broke mainboard
p.s omg I hate captcha tried posting this 10 times ...
Looks like I forgot to post So here is what happened: I got a new battery but even that I couldn't charge with USB. Than I pulled out my AC adapter and it works fine now. Looks like my USB Port is shot but since it still works and just won't charge my phone, I'll ignore that. But my old battery was surely shot because I couldn't even charge it with AC adapter...
Sorry if this seems a little late. It could be the roms fault you are getting strange readings. When I use ice cold and reboot my phone, the battery percentage reading changes like crazy. Sometimes the reboot makes the reading go up, and sometimes down.
USB port breaking is a common fault on inc s, though, so it could be that also, as you have said.
I tried ar least 5 different ROMs so I'm pretty sure that's not it That was also the first thing that came into my mind;D
Have u checked the charger plug cos if its that stupid black charger that comes with the phone they can play up my old one does this and I have to twist it slightly for the pins to touch try a apple charger or another USB charger

Battery discharging while plugged in

I'm having the mentioned problem since yesterday..the phone is plugged in to the stock wall charger and during usage, battery is dropping. I noticed that if I bend the microusb connector up a bit, it stops charging..
Any ideas on what's wrong? I'm using a stock XXLSC deodexed rom which I got from the N7000 General forum, no apps installed except Facebook, Skype and xda app.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Edit edit: actually, it drains both on max and min brightness. Tried different chargers
When it's connected to wall charger, does it say charging or not? Clean the usb port a little bit and try again. If not that, also try an alternative battery
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I blowed out any possible dust in it now, it seems to be charging normally now..my main concern is that slight moving of the cable up and down causes it to loose contact, as if the pins on the motherboard are broken insidethe phone, or similar.

Still the same thing..says it's charging, charging animation is there but percentage drops. Also, no way of getting a different battery.

recently updated kernel? Had on some kernels.
Your charging cable is it original? Is it damaged? You can always check if usb port charges it better to eliminate charger itself. Note usb charges slower.

Check your warrantee, if your running 100% stock. If its your usb charging module you might need it replaced.
I replaced mine with parts from parts4repair.com, cause I messed to much eith phone to claim warrantee. Lots of how tos on youtube. You dont need to remove motherboard for replacing it. If you think its broken, I can give more advice, at own risk ofcourse.

Yeah, by now I'm quite sure that the usb port is broken or damaged, or similar. After playing around with it for a while, I found out it does charge in certain positions, so I guess something broke off or is loosing contact.
It is under warranty, but I bought the phone under contract, and the phone carrier I got it from is notorious for holding onto the phone FOREVER during "repairs". Friend had to wait 45 days to get his back. So I'm just thinking about giving it to the local repair shop, those guys do a good job.
So far I tried different cables, and a different charger, did not try switching batteries since I can't get a hold of one anytime soon.
doing it yourself has a risk, and if those are good, fair in price, and have the right parts, then why not lol.
Be sure to check speaker, reception and wifi after, those are basically things that can go wrong with replacing this unit
btw, to excersize warrantee you can go to a authorized samsung dealer/service centre. Your not obligated to go throught your provider for warrantee. Its Samsung warrantee your calling upon, not your providers in this case I think.
I got my phone to a repair shop and they managed to fix up my phone, it charges normally now and the problem was in the connector, it got broken somehow.
Right now I'm getting extremely annoyed with constant network signal drops which happen on random..no idea why that is happening.

Hmmmm great for getting it fixed. Not sure if there is an antenna connector on the usb module which might not have been fixed properly. If this is happening since the repair, need to check again.

[Q] LT30p not charging or connectin using old HTC microUSB cables

Hello all,
so, this is driving me nuts. I have two HTC microUSB cables that I've been using with my old phone that for some reason don't seem to work at all with the new xperia T. I can only charge it and connect it using the stock sony cable or the (very long) cable that came with my Kindle. I tried with 3 different wall chargers (Sony, LG and generic wall outlet splitter with USB): all of them charge the phone using Sony and Kindle cable, none using the HTC cables. Anyone has any idea WTF is happening?
Thanks!
Based on my friend's experience, HTC tends to make cables that work only for their device. I'm not 100% sure.
Humans have evolved to be smarter, but there's one thing we can't get rid off. It's human stupidity.

I think there are different versions of the cable, if you take a close look at the end which goes into your phone you may be able to count a different number of connections....
Someone correct me if I am wrong
I'm charging my lt30p atm with the cable that came with my HTC desire S. Also connecting with pc is not a problem hetr

Well, both cables used to charge also my LG p500 without any issue. I'd be more inclined to say that the fault is on Sony's side as of now.

Slightly different shape of the inner part of the connector, but same exact number of connections.

I envy you very much indeed.
So, to sum it up, it can't be anything to do with the phone itself, but it seems to be some kind of incompatibility between the USB plug and socket. This is kinda crappy. Last thing I want is to buy yet another cable. Haven't they decided to use the same standard to avoid this kind of crap???
Thnaks to all of you btw!
Just use the cable that came with the phone for PC connection and the other ones for charging...
They don't work either way. It's like they don't even connect. Point is I don't understand why. It's just a cable. Anyway, thanks for all the input.

Some cables are manufactured not to work with most phones. Just like how we can't use our plug (for the wall socket) to charge an Apple device.

My previous experience doesn't seem to comply with what you just said. I've been exchanging chargers and cables between 1 LG phone, 1 HTC phone and an iPhone 4, and all the combinations work. The problem has arisen with the new Xperia T. I'll go to a Sony center and see what they have to say about it.
Cheers!
The t/x/v have faster higher rated chargers so some old ones don't work, I can't use old 2011 Line charger or moto charger but can use an earlier v8 charger...
If you look closely at the cable there are parts that click into place, if the cable your trying hasn't got these it won't work

As I said, no matter how weak the charger is, I always get power with the sony and Amazon cable, and none with htc ones. It is really annoying. The cables don't seem to have any major physical differences.

Slow charging?

I just picked up my One today, and I'm really loving it so far...
One thing I did notice is that, with the stock wall charger, the device seems to take a very long time to charge as compared to most other devices I have owned. Has anyone else noticed this? Just wondering if it is just my imagination.
Mine was like that too.. After a few cycles it charges pretty quick.

Yeah, I have one here I am trying now. Thanks for the suggestion.
I've read elsewhere that the One doesn't have rapid charging for the sake of the irreplaceable battery.
