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.

make sure your charger have an out put minimum is 1.Ah ,if lest than that it will not work , that is the troublem

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
Hey all,
I have a problem charging my Nexus S with the car charger I bought from Samsung. When I plugg the charging cable in, the battery starts charging but stops after some time.
I tried it several times plugging the cable on and off again. No charging. I tried it again after about 45 minutes and the battery started to charge again but stopped again a little later.
Has anybody experienced the same?
maybe the cigarette lighter plug gets loose after a while?
mine has that problem, and i need to plug it back in to continue charging
Thank's for the advice.
But I plugged the car charger into the cigarette lighter several times and it wouldn't start charging again.
HI all,
C6903 would previously charge using an official Sony dock cord. Yesterday, however, the phone started making the 'phone flat' beepjng noise (it was close to flat), so plugged into the dock to charge. The beeping continued every few seconds, the screen rotation started playing up (I do have a screen rotation lock that hasn't been a problem) and the phone won't fully charge (the charge symbol is there, just keeps dropping. The error message "the connected power source is not sufficient. The battery is draining faster than it is charging. Minimise device usage while charging" popped up. It does charge VERY slowly if the phone is off airplane mode and the screen is off (it charged approx 30% in 10 hours, this way).
No rogue apps, etc. I reset to factory settings and the problem is still there. Phone charges fine using standard micro-usb.
Here in the NL, the carrier (KPN) send your phone away for minimum 2 weeks (& will not give you a replacement), and they will likely just test with the standard USB charger, which is fine.
Anyone experienced this & any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Adam
sounds like the cable is faulty, probably only one way to find out if you know someone with a dock - or just send the dock back to were you purchased it declaring it faulty
I've had similar issues, I solved it by rebooting the phone and plugging it in using sony usb charger until the charge is over 30%, after I got mine to 30% using usb, it then was able to charge using the dock.
you could check the dock with a multimeter, but there's not really much to the dock itself, so unless it's a broken wire, the problem is with the wall charger which the docks plugged into or the phone
Thanks all. I will check if it is the dock/cable or the power plug when my wife gets home - she also has the Z1.
Thanks again, will keep updated.
Adam
Yeah, sadly the cables don't last too long - went through 2 cables up until now and many more to come.
Did anyone have this as well? Mostly I charge my phone when it's almost, but not completely, empty. Nothing weird going on. Last night it shut down because the battery was dead. I had put it on the charger and saw that charging had been initiated.
This morning the battery was still dead. As there is no simple way of switching to another battery I got a bit nervous. I their charging it with a couple of chargers, including one of our Samsung tablet (because that one might do 2amp)
Nothing seemed to work until I got to my work and tried again on the charger of my Logitech mouse. Then it started at slow charging, but hey better then no charging at all. I noticed the plug does not go in the slot all the way... Is that normal? I tried 2 USB c connectors and both have this. I have looked into the charger socket but I don't see anything that could block the plug.
Hi All,
I recently took out my Tf701t after not using for a while because my normal laptop died. The tablet wouldn't charge and is now dead. When I plug it in, the charging LED on both the keyboard and tablet does no light up either. However, when pressing the power button, I do get the screen with depleted battery. I can also feel static electricity when I touch the laptop's metallic back.
Is it possible that the whole thing is dead? it's very strange that neither the keyboard or the tablet's charging LED come up, even if plugged in separately and it seems like too much of a coincidence that both batteries died at the same time.
Before I took it out recently, I had it out a few days before that when I was clearing stuff from my drawer and it did turn on then with some battery left.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Do you have the original charger?
The tf701 doesn't charge with 5v chargers it needs the 15v of the original one

Hi,
That worked! Silly me, I did not even know that there is any difference between chargers for mobile devices in terms of voltage.
