Lol just worried ill be woken by a house fire one evening didn't know if other people have the same issue, it fizzes for around 30 seconds after being unplugged and all the time when plugged in.

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! )
Recently I noticed that my phone is losing charge while charging, yes im using it but I still think I should gain charge and not be losing it. Is anybody else have this problem?
I get this problem the most when using MHL adaptor, I can be watching a film, from the sd card, and lose almost 60-70% of battery (screen brightness at lowest, and stock charger) is there a way to turn the screen off and use hdmi that I have missed that can help?
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
Probably the MHL adaptor only accepts 500mAh input. The USB standard, instead of the rated 1500mAh the original charger provides.

Try that to turn off the screen. Needs root.
Thanks, I'll give that a go

If you use non sony cable, stock charger will charge with only 500mah.
Use proper charger and usb cable.
I have afew micro usb cables and, every one of them have different charging current. Find the best cable and charger with nova battery monitor application from market.

Daniel ! You need to ensure your adapter isn't charging on SSM3 mode. This was the case with me, I disabled it and it fixed the problem.
Are you the guy that is **** at basketball ? thought so ...
What do you mean SSM3? Are do I know you?? Haha

losing charge can happen on a proper charger too depending on the use of the device - obviously, aside from trying to get the battery hungry screen turned off you can also turn all radios off that isn't used. kill very battery hungry tasks (normally killing tasks for battery purposes is no good idea, but if one have gone crazy, go ahead and kill it ) you can also try to lower the cpu's max frequency, but of course not so low that the movie can't get played.. hope this helped a bit
My HTC One stopped charging.
I am unsure what is wrong, but it will not charge from the wall, USB, and Power bank.
What is bizarre is that USB OTG is still functioning properly. I was able to back everything up using OTG before it ran out of battery.
Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
Edit: So it turns out, it will charge when it is turned off, but very very slowly.
when i charge it while its off, the charging LED cycles from red to orange and then it turns off (which triggers the charging animation).
Do you have twrp 2.7 installed? If so flash 2.6.3.3

What Rom are you using. Are you using a custom kernal? I'm assuming you are using the stock charger that came with it?

I'm currently on MaximusHD, with its supplied kernel.
I've tried all sorts of charger, and none of them will charge it while its on.
The odd thing is, i haven't changed any settings. So I don't think its related to me messing around with ROMs and such.
This is odd... fastboot from the bootloader is working fine.
On my mac side, 'fastboot devices' is seeing my htc one and is replying with the correct S/N. while still in the bootloader my htc one is being displayed as 'Android 1.0' under 'system information'.
I honestly don't know what is happening, and I am currently in the middle of my exam week, so I'll be digging a little bit deeper after I'm done with my exams.
I haven't found anyone with a similar symptom as me on xda yet... so if anyone's got any suggestions, please chip in.
Thanks.
Sounds a bit odd. You said you tried different chargers. Did you try a different cable as well. You may have to try another Rom just to rule it out. Might be hardware related...

Yep, different cable as well.
Seems unrelated to the rom tho. As it will not charge in bootloader and or recovery.
I'm going to try to flash a different ROM when i'm done with my exams.
Also, would you think it would be safe for me to try and achieve s-off with only fastboot working? As i would need to remove the 'tempered' sign from the bootloader before bringing my phone to repair.
I don't know if this will be useful...
But here's the readout from fastboot getvar.
Yes absolutely s off your phone to remove it. Rumrunner or Firewater should work on that. Personally I'm not sure if changing roms would make a difference but probably worth trying

Would Rumrunner or firewater still work? I currently cant establish any adb connection... but fastboot is working tho.
Edit: I looked into firewater, which seems to be 100% adb dependent. So I guess firewater wont work.
I'm not sure about rumrunner tho... it seems to indicate that it'll check for an adb connection... but im not sure if it utilizes adb.
I recently had the same problem running Android Revolution 62, i didnt plug in my phone overnight and it completely ran dead and wouldnt take a charge at all, all i basically had to do was plug it in to the wall charger for like 10 minutes and hold the volume up and power button for a few seconds and BOOM! the little battery icon popped up on the screen and i was all set.
One thing im wondering about though is do you have to somehow reset your battery stats after this happens ??

Hey, thanks for the input.
My phone started having this issue on sunday. And i'm still able to use the device. The Issue i'm experiencing is that it will not charge while powered on, even in safe mode, bootloader, and or recovery. It just flat out won't charge. to make matters worse, fastboot is working fine in the bootloader, the pc is recognizing it. But as soon as i boot up, my PC and mac will not even recognize it. nothing is showing. The only time that its being recognized by the computer is when its in fastboot mode and for a few seconds while booting up, it'll be recognized as MTP device.
Have you checked that the drivers are installed in device manager. If fastboot works it's likely a driver issue

To be honest with you, i'm not sure if the driver is working (mac user). But even if the driver is installed incorrectly, wouldn't windows device manager thing still pick it up as a generic device? and from my understanding, the phone should still charge even without the correct driver.
Not for charging I was talking more about getting adb working to s off your phone. I think you should probably send your phone back

Well, the thing is, non of my computers are recognizing it via ADB (Macbook, Hackintosh, and Windows), so that pretty much rules out the driver issue. I am planning on sending it back, but I really should get rid of the UNLOCK and TEMPERED sign in hboot...
On another note, if i do bring it in for repairs, what approach should i take? Bring it in without any charge left and tell them it won't charge? or bring it in powered on, and use some other excuse (dead pixels, and or the purple tint) to get repaired?
Also, i've noticed that when I'm charging it while its off, the whole phone would heat up quite a bit (similar to medium/ heavy usage temperature| my estimate would be 40-45 celsius). And it charges really slowly, I would say around 10-20% per hour, while it would make sense to charge slowly, the charger(s) are also heating up quite a bit as well, almost like they're supplying 800-900mA of current.
I've just loaded the stock rom, and sadly, charging and adb is still not working.
any solutions to this? i am having same problem. its barely charging in adb, fastboot, or whether its on . somehow phone isn't charging at all.
I am hoping that someone out there can help me. My sgs i9000 does not charge when using the mains charger. It charges when plugged into a laptop is in the USB cable okay though. I have bought, both a new battery and a new charger, but the problem persists. Has anyone had or heard of this problem? Better still, does anyone have a solution?
I thank you all in advance.

Thanked you by accident when I went to quote you there
It probably isn't his USB port on the phone if it's charging fine from a laptop with USB cable.
I'd be checking that the charger definitely works by charging another device with it, if you have one. The voltage pins on the phones socket are the same whether you're charging with a charger or plugging into a computers USB, so if one way wasn't working then nothing should be working.

Could just be the plug on the charger possibly, I've had that happen before. There are two little sprung prongs on one side of it. I've had well used chargers before that I've had to get a pair of pliers and pull them out a little..
The fact that it works on your wife's phone doesn't mean it can't be the plug on your charger. Could just be that your USB port is a tiny bit more worn than hers. Doesn't mean that your port is totally screwed.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
I have tried three different chargers and none of them charge my phone. I'm very interested in your comment about the USB port being slightly more worn.
I am constantly flashing different Roms etc across using ums/ mtp so that does make sense. Also the USB cable that I use to charge my laptop is an old Nokia cable and the USB connector (phone end) is a little tighter.
Thanks.

My phone became a bit wet in the rains (started working after keeping it in rice) and since then even I am facing a similar issue... My auto rotate doesn't go off even after disabling it and my phone only charges even when its connected to the pc... Unable to use it for any sort of data transfer between the phone and the pc... Doesn't get into download mode without using the battery method and odin too doest recognize it... @Drhedphuk if you had some progress please do post here too...

Hi @sbnaul Unfortunately I haven't had much progress at all. My device connects with Odin & PC etc with no problem, it is just the charging issue using the mains charger. I have discovered that if I push in and hold the usb connector of the mains charger it will charge. Obviously though, none of us have the time to sit there and hold the phone for its charging process. If I have any further progress I will post here. Good Luck with your own problem, that must be a headache.
This solved my problem regarding the phone turning of at 50% battery or 37% etc. You will see after applying the settings the battery percentage will change and show the real battery life.
I got this solution from a Google tech.
1) Power off your phone.
2) Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons. This will put the phone in fastboot.
3) Use the Volume buttons to scroll through the menu until you see "Bootloader logs"
4) Press and hold the power key for a long time (7+ seconds) until the phone reboots.

After days and days of searching and trying a zillion things without success and just as I was ready to RMA the phone I stumbled upon this suggestion in the Google forums. It was posted by a Google tech somewhere in the middle of a really big thread that I couldn't find again. No I didn't find this by myself but wanted to share for users to be able to find it easily.

I returned my phone a few weeks ago because of this issue and got a replacement from Motorola . I do notice certain kernels will create this situation moreso than the stock rom or stock kernel will not create this issue so that's also something to think about.
However, thanks for the insight should my replacement phone display the same symptoms.
Edit: interesting, I just tried your suggestion and my battery went from 91% to 66%.
I am on the validator kernel using the suggested settings.

On occasion at work but not at home. Sounds like another cause. Why would it if I may ask?
I actually find them to be silly as you must plug the charger base via USB which I can do with phone! Just another step IMHO including finding the sweet spot when resting on charger.

I will be using the phone for 6-7 days without the wireless charger to see if the problem comes back. If it doesn't I will then use the wireless charger and see if problem shows up. This is an issue with a lot of people and many of them have RMA'd the phone just to realize that the problem came back and it's not a hardware issue.

By using a regular 5v charger instead of the idiotic 5/9/12v charger that came with it.
I am having the below issue.
1. If phone is around the 30% mark, and I receive a call, it would just switch off.
2. If i reboot the phone with it being around 30% mark, it will just switch off after displaying the lockscreen.
Is this behavior that is same as the one in the thread?
I tried the mentioned steps and my battery percentage stayed the same. It also shows the same battery percentage in TWRP.

Yes exactly the same problem. Keep pushing the power button a few seconds longer after phone switches off. My problem was fixed but a week later it came back. For others it was fixed permanently. There's a lot of people with this problem and they keep increasing. I fear that certain wireless chargers are causing it. Are you using a wireless charger?

No I am not using any wireless charger. I only use the turbo charger at home and a 2A N7 charger at work.
I am waiting for 5.1 and will run it for a few days to test . Hope that 5.1 will fix this issue.
Also Google suppport asked me to reboot into safe mode and see if the issue is still there.
Just tried this and it went from 82 to 85%.
I have an issue where the phone turns off at 5%
I have this problem currently with my N6 and it is beyond madding.
First it would do it only when the phone was getting to 30~35% tried the fix.
Now the phone crashes it all the time. 80% crash, charge for a little bit use again 85% crash, charge to 100% use streaming a movie from google play 65% crash. now im going to try a custom rom to see if that will fix it.
tried the fix several time only seems to make it worse.
even with a blank install after reinstalling the stock img the phone will crash.
