Melting when over heating.
Wondering if anyone else had had any issues with the official car charger. I bought one of the second batch recently and most of the time it does not work and charge. I have to move it around in the socket in order to get it working. I then looked at the metal contact at the chargers base and noticed that it looks like it has been heat damaged. It looks melted slightly and cracked. I can post a photo later.
Wondering if anyone else had issues with it.

That's very unfortunate. I hope it's not a widespread issue. The only issue I am having with the charger is getting ahold of one. Keeps showing sold out from my distribution center. I understand why it is a proprietary charger and cable for dash charging. Just wish they would license the tech so more manufacturers could create dash compatible chargers.
No excess heating issue with me, just the GPS-reboots, but that's not thw chargers fault.
Mine works fine. It's it possible your socket has gone bad? I've seen tips break off inside sockets and that causes shorting. Contact customer no service and request a new one. they're hella expensive.

It has been working fine with an dual USB2 Anker car Charger for the last year. So its not the socket.
They have accepted a return. Dispatched 2 days ago. If they no longer have any in stock, I dont expect to get a new charger in return. Waiting to see.
Receieved replacement a month ago. As of yet zero issues, must have been a one off, bad unit.

I posted this pic in a reply to another thread, but I thought I should create a new thread so more people would see this and make you all aware. I left the charger that came with my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 plugged into a surge protector all day and when I went to use it, this is what I found. So keep an eye on your chargers and don't keep them near anything flammable. I called Samsung and they are overnighting me new charger with a prepaid postage box to send this melted one back to them.

Wow... Glad I don't use that. I've been using my iPad's charger.
wow. i guess sammy might have some charger issues and should warrant recalls. my coworker's wife had a bad experience with a Samsung charger too. she went to unplug the charger and the darn thing exploded in her hand. he said the electrician came by and said there wasn't anything wrong with the outlet wiring.
That's crazy. Forster past year, I always keep mine plugged into the surge protector. Maybe I should go take a look lol

Are you sure there aren't any aliens in your home that suffered a gun shot wound?

I have left mine plugged in since I got it. Not charging my phone it is stone cold in that spot. I just plugged in to charge so far not even a little warm. Was your phone plugged in?

I'm not sure if it happened while I was charging it over night or if it happened during the day while I was at work. I didn't notice it until I got back home from work and went to charge my phone.
I'm about to receive my 4th HTC one:
#1 - lasted less than a week before I returned it. Wiggling a headphone plug in the headphone jack caused all kinds of weirdness. AT&T replaced it.
#2 - lasted about 6-7 months. Unplugged it one morning and it went totally dead. No charge light would come on when plugged in. AT&T replaced it.
#3 - lasted less than one month. Pulled it out of my pocket while (ironically) in an AT&T store and it was a brick like #2. 5 minutes before it was working. It was charged that morning using the original HTC adapter & cable. AT&T is mailing a replacement (#4).
All had bootloader unlocked. #2 was also SIM unlocked and S-OFF. All were running (different) custom ROMs. All were in cases and had no physical or water damage (not even scratches).
Any idea what could cause this hard brick where the charge indicator doesn't even come on? Any ideas to rescue it?
Thanks!

What you need is a sacrifice. You should bathe yout phone in virgins blood than let it dry for three days and three nights. Finally you must say 20 times loudly "this phone is not gonna break without reason", while doing a ritual dance. Hope it helps
Yeah. How helpfull... Please tell me how an S-on device can be bricked when everything is stable. This didn't happen after a ROM flash or any similar activity. Phone goes from just fine to dead without any specific action.

Stop messing with your phone. You clearly have no idea what you're doing.

Really strange problem. Some ideas:
- Was it always the same adapter/cable or was that one replaced, too? If it was the same, maybe it is somehow broken and eventually kills your phones.
- If you use custom ROMs, did you maybe changed some low level settings (voltage? CPU frequencies?)
Cheers, Curly060 =;->
Curly060 - same adapter, but I use other adapters and cables as well (office, car, etc.). Custom rom was Maximus 30.0. No under/over clocking or volting.
My guess is that one of my power adapters is out of spec. I use a non-HTC adapter where it generally charges overnight.
I'll replace them all.

Maybe you should go for original ac adapters this time...
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Well, looks like I was on the right track then.
Yes, please replace them and see if that helps!

Just recived the little gem in the mail yesterday took about a week for shipping from China to arrive. And so far I'm using with my otterbox symmetry case and it doesn't protrude the case and no more fumbling to get the charger in correctly. And it works great with fast charging and File transferring from pc
Will post more pictures later if anyone want to see any.

I'll order a few just for the heck of it and pass them out to some friends. I'll let you know of their feedback.
Thanks.
I bought something similar from Wish.com a year ago, it worked great but it eventually killed the charging circuit on my Galaxy Tab 3. I'm a little nervous about using electronics from discount websites from China.

I ordered mine from Amazon.
They might be originating in China though... but these days a lot of things are unfortunately.
I used one for a short time, didn't last long. The magnetic part didn't hold the best, although it held better than I thought it would to be honest but it still wasn't enough. The LED on it was extremely bright and bothered me at night. Also they're a pain to remove if you go to plug into a computer with a different cable or want to use the Gear VR.
In my opinion I'd be more interested in a case that converted our connectors to USB-C so you still get the ability to reverse the connections while at the same time is a good hold if it's slightly tugged.
Are we supposed to receive a tweezer and replacement nibs for this phone in the box? I ordered it from Samsung direct and cannot seem to find it.
Is anyone else missing it from the box?
Yes, those are supposed to be included: http://www.samsung.com/us/galaxy/note8/specs/ .

This is going to be a problem. I know from bitter experience that if an item is missing Samsung will require the whole box and contents including your mobile to be returned! Unless your outlet can arrange with the Samsung rep' to just give you a pack. Its an absurd situation. I speak in relation to Southern Europe, if you are in the USA or UK etc things 'may' be different?
It happens, it has to considering millions of these mobiles will be shipped. Its just a pain to resolve.
I know numerous Note 7 buyers where NOT requested to return all the contents of the box only the mobile. To that end maybe a decent member here who has a spare set could send it to you as a kind favour? If I had a set I would do so. When I returned both my Note 7's the outlet (Samsung) required everything, including the so called free VR head set! :silly:
Hope you can resolve this with a minimum of fuss.
Ryland :good:
It also happens that customers sometimes fail to check every nook and cranny of their packaging, or fail to unbox their device in the middle of an otherwise-empty surface where they can easily see everything that's removed from the box, and where there's no danger of knocking tiny items to the floor.
Worst case, though, is that you can order replacement nibs for a few dollars.
what are the little tweezer things for anyway?

tip replacements for the pen.
Mine were up against the upper right corner under the flap. I haven't taken any of the accessories out.

Ah thanks! I wondered about that on my previous 2 Notes as well!
Hi Guys,
I am happy owner of the MI8 right from the Beginning. I have always been a big fan of Xiaomi.
Now I had the problem, that my original USB C Charge Port Flex was so messed up from dirt and stuff that I replaced it with a one I bought at Ebay.
The changing did work well. But after setting the phone back up again, the charging speed now only allows 490mA which is really slow and takes forever to load! Biggest problem: I cannot use it as Nav and charge because of negative charging balance. I then bought another Charging Port from Ebay, thinking maybe the first one was broken. Unfortunately same problem occured after putting that one in. Only exactly 490mA.
The thing is, that those replacement pieces only have a serial number/code printed on. No MI logo or anything like the original one. Is it possible that these are low quality and cannot work properly?
How can I fix this issue? Is there a driver issue or anything with those replacement parts?

I think it might be useful to flash in a custom kernel, it doesn't sound like a problem with your charger.
I also encountered the same problem as you in July last year. I solved it by re-flashing the MIUI official ROM in fastboot.you can try it
Hey, same problem here. Yesterday I changed the charger module. All looked good at the beginning but now I realize that it does not connect to Android Auto or to any computer and the charging speed is slow as well...
Did you manage to solve the problem? Did you try to reinstall?
Thanks!
