Battery charing issue - pls help!

My motoroid xt720 is having problem with battery charging and usb connection with PC through the phone USB small port:
-2 days ago I restored to original EU rom through this port successfully. Before this point of time,battery charging and usb connection with PC through the phone USB small port was OK.
-then I can not charge the battery and or connect to the PC through the usb cable via phone small usb port. However, I can now still use the same usb cable and port to restoreoriginal EU rom for the phone and use the same charger to charge the battery with external charging pad (not through phone.)
I use another charger with small usb port to charge the battery through the XT720 phone but it still can not charge.
Installing the new customed rom CronosX, but the same problem happen.
So I guess that the USB port on the phone has hardware issues or software issues with the phone.
Can someone give me advice how to check or fix this error? Thanks!

i'm using them and they work great too!

Yes, I got charged with other charger - thanks for advice!

battery drain on charger without any oppened apps

hi all, i am using my note for more than 3 months with non original charger, and usb cable also sn't original, but my phone was charging well, but i upgraded to JB then reverted back to ICS, and now when i put my device on the charger or USB, and without using it, i see in battery status that my phone isn't charging, but the charging animation is working, and i see that it is charging in the lock screen, and my phone drain very fast,
i installed battery monitor widget, and it show me "USB Charger" but give me Discharging, and charging randomley, and when it gives me discharging i see in the battery health error like" unspecified error ocured"
as i said, it just charge fine some times, and some other times it gives me "discharging", i was using this USB, And the charger for more than 3 months without any problem
don't know if it i software or hardware related
any idea ?
sorry for my bad english

two things you can try...
1. Flash to stock GB and try charging it again.
2. if you tried step 1 and still doesn't work, try replacing your charger/usb cable and/OR, CLEAN OUT your usb charge port on your phone. Perhaps there's some lints and dusts there already that have accumulated overtime, causing your issue/s at hand.

Thanks fot your help, yes trying the GB rom will be the best choice to know if this issue is software related
thanks again

Phone not charging nor with AC nor USB

Hey guys!
My phone will charge battery only sometimes. The PC usb is not charging the battery (but it does see the usb), my ac is not charging also. I bought a new one. not charging. I tried with 3 different batteries - not charging.
It only charge sometimes when im using the galaxy s2 mini charger. But then it charge ex to 50% or 80% and it stops. I get the charging animation but the battery power drops normally like if i were using the phone.
I opened my 9000 and tried to see if the usb charger is burned or the soldering is bad. But everything is all right :/
By mistake, when i was "rebuilding my phone" i put the simcard backwards. And then even with the mini2 charger i was unable to charge more than 1%.
Do you know what can cause it? Its not the custom rom (helly bean) because i did not update it when it happened a month or so.
Thanks for any help.

[Q] Charging Issues - Is 300-400mA input normal for Z1 stock changer?

For some reason (since lollipop cm12 nightly 20150121, currently on DStrikerz 4.7 stock-based ROM) my phone takes a while to recognised that the charger is plugged in ( an average of 1-2, sometimes not at all, sometimes longer and/or sometimes it randomly stop charging in the middle of charging).
This is what I have done:
I have done a clean flash by going to CM11 (not CM12) back to Dstriker ROM thinking some residual code may have stayed from Lollipop CM12 (cause it had slow charging issues, reported by many), but issue still persists.
I have tried different Power Bricks. I get 700-850mA from iPad charger with 2.4A (2400mA) output with stock cable. I get 200-300mA on a brick with 400mA output.
I have yet to fully verify this but I have had no problems with the other bricks (still need time)
(End of What I have done)
Now my question is that:
Is the lower mA normal when charging?
Do I have issues with my charging port (had charging port issues on previous phone which is Sammy GS2) or is it the brick and/or cable?
How long does it take for your phone battery percentage to go up 1% on average (mine is 1.5 - 5min average) ?
Any other software solutions you can suggest? (Optional)
Can you post a screenshot of the mA of your battery while charging so I can compare? (Optional)
Look at the screenshot at the bottom.

My phone has stock rom, and i used to have the problem of phone immediately not starting to charge...
I found out that the stock cable was loose when connecting, so i started using the cable of my older xperia u, which works fine
Have you tried turning off the phone and then charging?
Because sometimes the kernel gets moody and all that, i had these problems on my xperia u, and i then used to power off and then leave it on charging for some time

That's for the reply I just found the problem. It was the plug. My friend connected it to his GS3 for 1 hour and it only charged 3%. I've tried other charging plugs with stock cable as well for the past night and didn't have any problem. So I might have to replace or fix the plug myself.

test again try to start charge when the battery is at 20% and see if it still 300-400 mah so u may have to get a new cable or to get new charger also maybe the plug
the charging from 90 to 100 is usualy slow comparing from start to 90
test and tell

I checked too, my mobile also had around 400-500mA too, although it is charging and behaving normally

Interesting. I pushed the USB connection on the plug upwards (seen attachment) and it started charging properly at 700-900mA until 90% where it was 300-400mA, compared to the 300-500mA no matter what battery % I had left.
Charging was much quicker.
I remember doing the same on the GS2 charging port and phone charged properly.
I guess its something to do with no reenforcement at the top of the port. Both S2 micro USB port and Z1 USB charger plug port have no reenforcement at top. Think this is a design flaw.

Maybe, but my mobile also get fully charge in about 2 hrs max, and when i once checked this app about current, it was showing around 400-500mA at about 48%, although the mobile didnt take time to charge, maybe at that instance the current was that?

Android 7.1.1 update : Super slow charging

I updated my phone through OTA, but once i rebooted it aftet installing update, my USB port started to act strange. The phone takes 6 hours to fully charged ( with the same original power brick and cable) and also the cannot be recognized by any computer. OTG flash drives don't work anymore too.
Anyone else experienced these symptoms?

Bad wire...
You've lost a couple of pins... So you're not getting the turbo charger handshake... Further confirmed by loss of data to your PC...
Get a new wire... Make sure it specifies DATA/SYNC...
Unless you've burned up your turbo charger... Which I have heard of yet... Though I've broken the board in a couple of QC 2.0 compatible wall warts... But they just stop charging all together

Hey, I have the same problem but I bought and changed the cable USB so I solved the "problem".
This is weird but seriously I noticed this problem, Really I don't know.

Nexus 6 USB/charging port are this phones Achilles heel

I have recently resurrected my nexus 6 and found that it no longer gives me the turbo charger notification.

Fast charging notifications are ROM dependant. AFAIK, still not part of the stock ROM.
A way to tell what's happening is to use Ampere and look for ~ 1900 - 2200mA of current on the quick charger. ~ 500mA on a regular wall charger and <200mA on usb (computer) port.
The phone will only fast charge below a preset level. Somewhere around 80% the fast charge starts to slow down and that is reflected in the current measurement. By 85%, my N6 drops to ~1600mA.
If you go to settings -> battery while plugged into a wall (AC) charger and it shows usb charging, then check the cable and charger. Try different ones. If still it shows usb charging, then your phone charging port is messed up. I'd first try cleaning it.
If you can't remember the last time you cleared the caches (clean flashed) a factory reset might get things cleaned up as well.
If you're still using the original battery at this point in time, slow charging might just be a result of an old, expended battery.
