Are you using your stock charger? If not, how many A does your charger have?

i just bought an extra battery.lets see how it goes.
i noticed my old battery had a small bump in the middle seems bloated. hmm
i remembered last time i used xperia s charger trice,it has 1.5kA it realy charge fast. i think that caused the problem?
when my sister charge her xperia s, the charger just explode.. and she scolded me why am i using her charger.
im using my old charger which is 700ma but it charge just fine. lately when i use the xperia s charger and went back to my old one,it was acting strange. it charges really slow and if i use the phone,it depletes even when charging.
im going to flash another rom,and see if its rom related or the battery isue.
thanks for replying.
ok,im on with my new battery but still depletes while im using it. im just browsing. on the widget it say im currently charging with 1000ma. wierd, dont know how to solve this.
[SYMPTOMS I HAD] it would charge very slowly, if the screen is on, it would actually discharge. When the phone was off, it would slowly charge (i.e. >5 hours to full charge). and it would discharge very quickly (i.e. 1% per 2~3 mins). When the phone was off, it would charge sometimes and sometimes not. Figured that when the phone was off, you really are negating much of the software influences so this could be a hardware issue, however, wanted to make sure before going down the hardware route.
Did some research, searched the forums and searched some more.
I had tried 5 different chargers, 3 different USB cables and had bought a replacement battery.
Steps taken:
1. Cleaned with thick paper - no change
2. Cleaned with thick paper & rubbing alcohol - no change
3. Cleared with Compressed gas - no change (on first charge, there was a change but then back to normal)
4. Attempted to clean with vacuum (with finer nozzle) - no change
5. Used charging apps from playstore - didn't show charging details - considered the port was faulty
6. Tried to find default references for charging as mentioned in one of the forums - unable to find it
7. Found a replacement USB port charger board and replaced it - working fine
So it could be the actual port is faulty. If you symptoms match, it could be time to take it into the service centre, restoring to stock first of course. The note I am using had slow charging for about 2 months prior to really slow charging.
i had change the usb port and its back to normal. 2hrs at least and its full.
Fingers crossed, thats all you need.

I noticed this as of yesterday. My Nexus One is plugged in to the wall charger right now, but it randomly stops charging. The light at the top disappears and the phone shows that it is not charging. Give it a few seconds, and it starts charging again. Sometimes it will charge for 30 minutes without a problem, other times it starts and stops every few minutes. I've tried messing with the cable, but it doesn't affect whether or not it charges. I plan on switching batteries with my brother to see if that has a change. I'll also try a different cable soon. I've already rebooted the device, no change. If you go to the battery usage chart, it shows huge gaps in the green charging area..
Rooted, running geo411m stock rom, Android 2.3.3, stock kernel, stock HBOOT.
Any ideas? I hope the charging circuitry isn't failing. Took like 5 hours to charge, now the phone is at 95% battery.
I would try to wipe the battery stats from recovery see if that makes any difference then maybe try full wipe 1 to 5 times and maybe a clean install or even just change ROMs and check if it's the same.
alright I'll give those a try. I just don't know what could have caused it to happen. been on this rom for months, no change in setup. just randomly started. seems like a software issue to me (hopefully not hardware). even right now as I'm using it, it's plugged in but not charging.. 81%, no charge light.

Your charger or cable are most likely the culprit. When the charger doesn't provide enough current - the phone stops charging, and sometimes chargers fail.

It was the charger! My brother has an official HTC one he bought off eBay (looks like this), whereas I have the one that came with the N1. His charged my phone fine. My charger was still screwing up with his phone. I'm just going to buy the HTC one now. Thanks for you suggestion!

Call HTC, even if you're out of warranty. They have been exceptional in providing replacements for broken accessories. I had somehow cracked the lens in the battery door, and when I called to ask where I can buy a new back cover they simply asked for my address and told me I could expect one the next day. Worst thing that could happen is they say "no".
I was searching an answer but found myself. The issue is something happen to system because of unstable voltage then keeps turning off charging.
I've added agni control kernel and activated ignore unstable charging power and voila!
I know this is an old thread but can you tell me - if you can remember (!) - how did you acticate "ignore unstable charging power"? I have the AGNI kernel for my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 but no idea where the settings are! I've heard of an app but where it is I don't know.

How did you activate that feature? Where are the kernel settings?
Hey I was wondering if something is wrong with my device.
I am encountering weird things regarding recharging the device in reliability charging up.
So i am using the original charger which came with the phone, the phone is just like 3 month old i didnt notice anything like that earlier.
So when i am charging the device, sometimes it stops charging, Today I encountered it charging to like 56% and afterwards no more charging so when i got up, my phone was 14% left even when plugged in.
I encountered it several times recently that it stuck recharging at around 50-ish or 70-ish %.
charging usually takes up reasonably long. About 10% an hour. In Settings -> Battery it sometimes it displays USB even when it's charging via AC.
I am not running any fancy apps which drain the phone or clock cpu.
I am running 4.1.2 I9305XXBLL3 Rooted.
Anyone have any suggestion?

Samsung charger that come with the box really charge slow because it only supplies 1Amp.
But for your case seems different. Before checking the software side... have you checked if it's the charger or the cable itself has the problem? Try using other charger.
do you think a nexus 7 charger works fine w/o doing any (more) damage?
Many times it's because of dust and dirt collecting inside usb port. Clean it with compressed air or small brush and try again.

i am aware that dirt might be the problem, but i've took my torch and put some light into the dark usb port to see if there's any dirt but everything looked quite clean to me. I don't have compressed air with me atm do you think a manual air blower used to clean dslr sensors can also do the job?
any other suggestions if the charger and usb port ( dirty ) is not the case?
Use toothbrush and tiny bit of alcohol ( can be after shave) on it to clean port. Do it when phone it's switched off. It's worth to try.
Did you try different charger?? This can be main problem. Many faulty chargers this days.....

i have been trying out the nexus 7 charger. it seems to be a bit faster but not as fast as i am used to be on galaxy s2 ... i used the air blower and a tiny bit of dust came out but not quite much, i will see how it performs.

Check the output voltage if same, a bit higher ampere would be fine just not too high, and not voltage.

Samsung charger provides 1000mah because that's the stock charging setting for the SGS3. You'd only need a different charger, like a N7 one if you change the settings to above 1000mah.
OP use current widget to see what current your phone is charging at. It should be 999mah from the wall charger, then you can change chargers and see whether it's the charger or your phone with the problem.

I've just upgraded to JB and now when I plug in the charger I usually use at my desk (A samsung original charger) I get the message about 'slow charging due to the low current of the USB'.
Has my charger just died without me realising it, or does jellybean need more juice somehow??

Which version of jb did you update to? I updated also and noticed the same thing, and i have tried multiple chargers, old and new, original and usb, computer and wall chargers, all get the same message.
I doubt your charger is an issue. Have you noticed if it is ACTUALLY taking longer to charge ?
It's also happening me with v1oe and v20a if your 4x is slightly warm then it's charging slowly to prevent overheating try to charge the device when your battery level is <13% and charge it to continuously to 100% and when charging see the difference in setting>powersaver and you will see charging(AC) even your device is heated

As akshay.mehta9 mentioned, it's a known issue, although it's in place for your phone's protection. The general opinion seems to be that the limit is a bit too conservative (there are reports of this limit being a bit higher in the Asian versions, but we don't know if the next western versions will have it changed - it might be a regional business decision, or something regarding the legislation/EU norms).
In any case, it's been talked about here, and there's a temporary solution (in that it resets to default value when you reboot your phone).
Cheers all - it makes sense I guess as a protection when hot - I just noticed the problem soon after the update so panicked but I needn't have, as it does indeed charge fine, and must have just been hot at the time
hi.
i got the htc for about 3-4 months. at beggining it was perfect. good battery and charging FAST AS FCK , but now, it charges SO slow.
im using the original htc cable to charge it, the cable that came with the phone. and plugged in to the wall plug.
if im using the phone while its charging its just not charging and even the battery still goes down WHEN ITS CONNECTED. so for it to charge i need for like 3-4 hours not the touch the phone at ALL.
at the beggining when i got the phone i could be gaming on the phone and still battery whould go up. now even if everything is closed, ONLY whatsapp is open and im on whatsapp the battery keep going down.
all my apps are closed and nothing running.
any solutions for it or what should i do?
Dear guyeee,
It seems that your problem is related to the HTC charger itself.
I have a suggestion that you probably should replace your HTC charger set, due to
prolonged usage of heavy gpu loading while charging.
I also would recommend that you should not always using your phone to perform heavy task /multi-tasking while charging.
Doing so will shorten the life-span of your HTC battery and damage both your HTC inbuilt battery and charger easily, and worn out or misbehaviour eventually after a couple of months.
They are also many other reasons to cause this behaviour, like
Dropping your charger too often ,or the wire for your HTC charger , etc..
It 's just some advice from me. Based on my observation and some little , minor experience.
Not saying that I'm always right , but I did my best here to help you out.
Lastly, hope you solved your problem soon and your HTC one is back alive as normal. Cheers ?

I would at least try a different charger to see if problem is the charger or the HTC.
If it also gains charge slowly with an other charger it is likely your HTC.
Are you running any custom ROM?
Have you tried to restore to factory default yet?
Kind regards, Stefan.
My charger had that problem too.I tried my Samsung charger(since it also is mini usb) with it and now it charges
fast!
Hey everyone, how y'all doing?
I've got this problem for 2 months now where the charging has been super slow and no idea why. I am using the official charger and cable that came with the phone, I used my wife's s20's charger with same result and a third party charger with 3 different cables with similar results. Accubattery recorded that my phone's battery health is at 86% (3460mah) should I change it and lose my water/splash proof?
Oh yes I have flashed a few different ROMs (currently using Dr Ketan) with the same results except for evolution ROM, with the aosp ROM I was able to charge my phone from 14 percent to 100 in 90 minutes which is kinda weird...
Any advice would really help thank you

Get yourself one of those 2$ USB doctors. It will tell you how much power the phone is taking in. i.e. Fast charge should be 9 volts at about .8 amps and slow charge 5 volts at 1.5+ Amps.
Make sure your port is clean and moisture levels are low i.e should be below 80%.
I had this problem once when moisture was over 80%. It then went away. But at that time the phone will warn you about the extra moisture. It will say Moisture detected in USB port Fast Charging disabled.
The second time this happened was after the update to android 10. Had slow charging and overheating and audio acting up but that went away after re-setting the phone a few times and clearing cache.
The latest update to Android 10 seems to be causing a lot of issues with Display, Audio and overheating / slow charging. My audio chip finally stopped working. And the phone is now with Samsung.
My 2 cents if you see overheating and slow charging. Stop using the phone while its still working and take it to Samsung. Because if you continue to use it something will fail. And Samsung will want to give you a big fat bill to change it.

Thanks for the advice and I'll see to it. It's just yeah it seems like after android 10 things have been degraded
So apparently turning off fast charging in options gives me a faster charge time. With fast charge on it takes from 7% to 100% in 3 and a half hours and with fast charge off it takes 2 hours only.... Maybe my fast charging "chip" / "module" is broke?

Yes I have tried, the June update one and got the same results. I even formatted everything and went bone stock with the same results. I'm thinking of using some contact cleaner on the usb port but hesitant to do that...

Unless you see something in there I do not advise poking around inside.
I suspect your problem is that the Samsung USB cable packed up. And your trying with all kinds of cables and chargers. Go to a Samsung Store and ask them to check with a Samsung Cable and Charger.
I went thru this circus a few months back.
The only solution is to get a Samsung Charger with a Samsung Cable.
Then make sure fast charge is on. For wireless and wired charging. Wipe your cache and you should be ok.
I have seen way too many damaged USB ports from people trying to clean it. When there was nothing in there to start with. Use compressed air. If you see something in there.
