Hi All,
Just purchased S3 LTE around a week back and noticed that there is an issue on charging the phone through a USB charger.
This handset came with Jelly Bean OS and had the version as 4.1.1. I purchased a third party USB charger and when connected from my Laptop to the mobile, it does not charge and nothing happens. However after experimenting, then noticed that if I restart the handphone then the charging automatically starts!
I believe this must be still an open issue in this version of handphone. Correct me if I am wrong.
If anyone has any solutions to overcome this issue, please share it with me here. I would highly thankful.
Thanks!
This is the first time I have heard of something like this
Phones have a minimum voltage required to charge them so it is probable that your computer is not supplying that
Try a different USB cable (may be faulty) and also try from a different USB port
It should work flawlessly when plugged into a power outlet
If it still doesn't work them do factory reset and if all else fails then warranty the *****

Is anybody having problems with wireless charging? I bought a wireless charging receiver, and I give the different Qi chargers. Most of the time, I have to reboot the phone and/or unplug the charger in order to make it charge. I haven't been able to find a particular pattern to the behavior, but it seems to be the same with all three chargers. Sometimes, I lay it down and it works right away. It's a little frustrating. Does anyone have an idea what might be the problem? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I seem to have lost the ability to turbo charge on my N6. When I use the turbo charger, the phone charges normally, but does not "turbo" charge. I've also lost the ability to connect to a PC. No machine will recognize my device, so I'm also wondering how to update to 5.1 once released without a PC.
Not sure if these issues are related. Maybe a hardware issue? I'm on a stock, rooted device (with forced encryption off) with TWRP recovery. The problems seem to have started after I manually updated to 5.0.1 using this method:

Please let me know if anyone can help.
Thanks
there's no real "turbo" mode in the n6, if its charging normally, then its right. how long would you say it takes the device to charge? and about connecting to the pc, is your nexus driver installed? sounds like it had an error somewhere. try installing it again, or manually. if the n6 driver isnt installed, your pc will never see the n6.
I noticed, I used a longer cord plugged into the Turbo charger, it would take about 5-6 hours to charge (I forget the %). Then I switched the cord back to the one that came with it, and the time was cut in half, 2-3 hours. Make sure you are using the correct cord.

It takes about 5-6 hours to charge from 0%. And yes, I have tried deleting the drivers and reinstalling them automatically and manually. It's not a driver problem as I've tried multiple computers (both PC and MAC). I've used multiple USB ports and cables. I've tried literally everything.

Thanks. I'm using the correct charger and cable. In fact, I thought I had a defective charger so I had Motorola send me a brand new one. Still not working correctly. In fact, when I enable USB debugging and MTP connection, it won't charge at all using the turbo charger. I have to disable USB debugging and MTP to get it to work. Very strange. That's why I think something went wrong with my installation of 5.0.1 or one of my modifications (enabling landscape mode on home screen, enabling screen mirroring, enabling tethering, franco kernel, root, decryption, etc.). I'm really hoping it's not hardware.
If it takes that long to charge on a wallplug you're hardware is probably defective. It generally takes me 3 hours to charge from 0 to 100 with a 5v 1amp wall charger. A little less with a 5v 2amp port. About 2 hours in fact.
5 to 6 hour charge rates only make sense if you're charging off the a powered USB port from a computer.

Either it's charger's issue or it's charging IC's issue. If you can find another turbo charger, try charging with that. If the same issue repeat, then ask for a replacement

Good luck getting a replacement charger. I have been trying to get a replacement charger for two weeks. Moto customer service is terrible.

Hey all, I find my nexus with the turbo charger goes from empty to full in about an hour and ten maybe twenty. Today I plugged it in at 13% at noon and by one it was at 94% so some of the charge times I'm seeing here seem way long compared to what I've been getting on my device. Is there different turbo charge blocks out there!?

Must be my Canadian electricity.
If by any chance you have access to the Note 4's charging block, try that one. It works extremely well with every turbo charge device I've used.
Hey guys anyone experiencing problems with fast charging not working, tried using the moto fast charge cable and charger and still nothing. Seems. Like after the Roger update it only works like 20 percent of the time
I have the same problem after I updated my note 5. I'm just waiting for Google to push another update to fix their f*#$ up.
Yes, works most of the time (90% of the time). Using all equipment that came with phone. Fast charging hasn't worked probably 4 times over the past month. Will unplug/plug back in a few times then magically starts working.
no issues on Rogers here
So I went to the AT&T place to see what the problem was. The guy there switched the wall adapter that went with my charger to a newer one of the same model, and my fast charging capabilities came back. The fix was simple. The problem was in my Travel Adapter.

I do not know if that will help you but to be sure if fast charging is working or not, you need to plug it in and turn it off. Then, you should have 3 green LED lights flashing. If only one is flashing, then it is normal charge. If 3 are flashing, then this is the fast charging.
Earlier today my device froze and randomly shut off during use while at 70-ish% battery. Since then I haven't been able to turn it on even just to the bootloader (the device won't turn on whatsoever). I've also tried USB charging through my PC, my wireless charger, and the charger that came with my device to no avail. It's not water damaged as the indicator shows nothing and I haven't dropped it. If anyone has any idea on what the issue would be or how to fix it I would be very thankful.

Also, when charging the phone doesn't seem to get any hotter that when it's not so it might be a battery issue, although the phone is only 4 months old.

Same exact issue with mine. Mine was around 9% and went black and will do nothing now. I'm waiting for a replacement now. I'm assuming it's a battery failure.
I was searching around and came across an older thread on here with someone that had the issue as well. They RMA'd their phone and the motherboard & battery were replaced.
This happened to me. I just sent it to motorola they replaced it with another
