Recently my X1 cannot be charged with USB cable through wall outlet & even car charger , but able to charge with USB cable through PC.
Anyone do encounter the same problem?
Well that's a strange one - how long was it connected to the wall?
Without getting into the discussion about volts and amps provided, and amps drawn by the phone, any method should charge.
In terms of speed, I would think the wall would charge fastest (see above), and the USB slowest.
Did the phone show on the top bar, the charging icon when attached to the wall? Or after a period of time there was no increment in the % charge showing??
If the battery was down to 0%, you probably wouldn't see an immediate increase in the % charge. The % charge is orientative, especially at both ends of the scale.

I do agree with you. Charging with wall outlet is faster. Therefore, normally I'm charging my X1 with wall outlet, unless in office, will use PC USB.
Top bar never show charging icon, but once I charge it with PC USB, the charging icon show up immediately.
It seems like no power for the USB when connected to the wall outlet. I've tested with battery removed, plugged in USB cable connected to wall outlet, there is no charging illumination light. I cannot power on it.
I tried to recall, it happened after I used a USB charger for my MP3 player. The next day, when I tried to charge with car charger. To my surprise, the USB connection notification showed up (I do remember, while charging with wall outlet or car charger, it will never prompt me for USB connection).
I don't think, it is the ROM issue. Try a few ROM still having the same problem.
From now, I got to live with PC USB :|
X1 Charging problem
I have same problem. I can not charge via both USB-PC and Wall. In order to charge the phone, I have to switch it off and then charge it.
This happened after I used CHEAP car charger from dealexteme.com
Now everytime I want to charge my phone, I have to switch it off.

I'm using the original SE charger!? I would not think the problem with the charger, but my X1 was screwed by the incompatible MP3 USB charger
Yep same with me, not sure why mine started doing that though, I never got used a cheap charger. Maybe its the rom... I am trying a new one now.

it's not caused by the ROM, I'm very sure. I've installed different ROM. The problem still exist.
I am having a similar problem. When the phone completely discharges , i am unable to charge it with any power adapter or even car charger. I have to initially charge the phone using a PC , then after the power is around 15% , then the phone gets charged with a normal adapter.. any suggestions??
same problem. It happends when the battery is completely discharged.
what I do is use a charger w/ low amp rating (.1) and plug it in for at least 10-20min. Give it some time, it will start charging after a while (indicated by the blinking lights). After that, you can turn it on and charge it normally
I had a similar problem twice.Both times I solved it by replacing the charger.
the same happen to me and i have another issue
my xperia doesnt work as usb mass storage!!!
the solution was buying another charger but..the usb mass storage issue still not working as a flash drive!!

It works with Z1 too. Thanks a lot!
I guess something goes wrong with battery controller
Laptop have smart battery manager to change a/c (when plug in power) and battery when haven't power, so haven't been charged and discharged => not low level . But have nook color smart battery manager ?
Nook color can use 8 hours , if i use more, I will charge it twice a day , I want plug it in power when I am at home
If you use the supplied cable and charger, it will allow fast charging and then automatically stop charging when it is full so you won't damage the battery.
If you use a different charger or cable, it will charge much slower.
Mine won't charge with another cable and plug besides the one it came with. Phone can't charge with NC plug and cable. Is it supposed to to be able to charge with a lower power adapter like the one for my phone?

Apparently you have to shut the Nook down for it to charge with a regular USB cable. That's because a regular cable won't supply enough power to charge the device while it is running.The fact that it will charge at all under these circumstances is an unadvertised feature.

But I can't find this information barnesandnoble.com. Can you give some link about this ?

The supplied charger is 1.9 amp. A regular charger is 1 amp. A phone car charger is. 5 amp. That's why if you use the NC charger it's faster.

I want this information in barnesandnoble.com , not fast or slow
the book that comes with the nook states that when the light turns green that it is fully charged and now supplying power to the nook and not the battery (so your battery does not discharge and you can use your nook still), i'm not sure how much more proof you want than this.
As for other chargers, if you get the micro USB Type B (I believe is what it's called), it will charge fast still and SHOULD have auto shut off (since that's built into the nook).
Hi all,
Have a strange problem.
Galaaxy S i9000 XXJVT - phone will occasionally charge on mains but rarely. Usually when battery completely depleted, but not always. Checked wires and also changed charger but all is ok with chargers.
Phone charges OK with USB though. Any known bugs on this? Sorry if it has been posted before but couldnt find any problem like this one.

Really weird problem coz the phone uses the same two pins in a USB socket to charge.. Also, it can't discriminate between a wall charger and a USB cable in terms of charging..
How many chargers have you tried it on? have you tried to use your charger in anyone else's phone?

Yes to all! I checked that the prob wasnt with my charger. There is some instability in charging also. As soon as I manage to charge it 100% on wall plug (occasionally) it stops charging. So overnight, it takes a couple of hours to charge then wont start again.
Recommend reinstall??

I am having a problem where charging is beyond slow when using this cable. It will charge 50% in 8 hours.
And if phone is in use it will discharge while plugged in.
When i switch back to original cable that came with my note 2 it takes 4h or so to fully charge my battery.
Anybody else have tested this or similar cable?
I no longer need it since i got my zero-lemon battery but it would be good for my wife on her S3
Is there a tested alternative someone can recommend?

Mine too, too slow. Check the current with: Galaxy Charger current, get from play store. Only 400mAH.
and,
I bought one which LED, 1 meter, it can not charge. 0mAH.
:crying:
The longer/thinner the cable the slower the charging will be. Its best to always either stick with OEM or verified manufacturers for chargers and cables
I always charge my phone using 5V 1A conventional charger, never use original HTC charger because it's so slow (I'm talking about 0-100% in 14h)
Tonight I leave it charging when I'm sleeping, yes I usually do that. I woke up with no power on my phone, so my phone don't charge in a whole night.
So basically when using conventional charger it won't charge my phone anymore. But when i use the original one, it's charging.
What's really happen? Why I no longer can charge with conventional charger?
And why my original charger takes 14h to get full charge?
Conventional charger is dead.
Also check the usb cable.
Good luck.
