I have a tilt that now will charge from the USB to computer connection, but does not charge when plugged into the wall with my wall charger (an after-market charger that worked fine until today). The phone says "charging" but actually loses battery power .. and after a while the orange charging light goes off.
Any thoughts -- sure is a drag to have to charge my phone through the laptop.
What after market wall charger do you have? Does it use the USB cord to charge? I'm assuming that you plug the USB cord into the wall charger and then into your phone. If so this will not work. The USB cable is only capable of trickle charging. If you are doing anything while it is charging over USB you will use power faster than the trickle charger can provide. You have to charge it with a wall charger that does NOT use the USB cable.
Yes I realize that the standard wall charger uses a mini-USB plug but the internals of the cable are not the same as a data USB cable. The difference in juice it can provide is like comparing a PVC pipe to straw.
I was just using a radio shack iGo charger with a usb tip ... it worked fine until my latest ROM upgrade.
Ahh I see. Yep the charger is most likely bad.
I plugged in my phone to charge it this morning and all of a sudden when i connected it to my wall charger it went into USB Debugging mode? This is a first for me and it kinda scared me a bit. I then unplugged and plugged it back in and it went into charging mode. Can anyone explain this? Has this happened to others?
I believe if the charge current is low, such as 500ma, the phone assumes it is connected to a computer. Doesn't mean anything other than a slow charge.

thanks for the reply.
im sure it was just a fluke. ive always charged it in this wall outlet. i replugged it and it works fine
has this ever happened to anyone else?
This happened again. Can someone help me out here?
Happens to me all the time. As the poster above mentioned, shouldn't be anything to worry about.
You can turn off usb debugging if it bothers you or use a different usb cord as some have a tendency to do this because they reduce current flow too much

That happens to me when i try to use the iPhone charger.. I'll try to jailbreak it..
Download "Spare Parts" from Market. In the Battery Info section, you'll se if the phone detects your charger as USB (PC, below 500mA) or a Wall charger (700mA)

So if it detects my wall outlet to be below 500mA then the power going to that wall outlet is low?

Let me test.. But my iPhone charger is 1000mA!! And my phone detects it as DC, acording to Spare Parts (USB), and if i switch to the original charger, it turns into AC..
If the phone controls how many mA/Volts can receive, and the charger is detected as DC, it will be charging at the same speed as if you use the PC USB, no matters if you uses a 200000mA charger...
BTW, sorry about my english

The charger has wiring that shorts the data lines - this tells the phone it is a wall charger and not a usb port - the usb port carries data, so the lines are not shorted. This controls the amperage - If it shows AC - the phone detects the shorted data lines and the phone draws about 700mA. If the phone does not detect the shorted data wires, the phone only draws about 500mA. In all cases the voltage is 5V DC.
I have a 2A car charger. With a regular cable (non-shorted data lines) the phone thinks it is on a USB port. I short the data lines and the phone says AC charging.

I am using the regular charger that came with the phone. Does this mean the charger is faulty?
I get this all the time. Probably because I'm using the little white USB to wall converter from my old iPhone. I still get a good charge, though I've noticed it charges about 2x faster if I turn it off and use the black charger from Samsung. That way I get about 20% an hour, otherwise about 10% an hour.

If you are using the charger and cable that came with the phone, and the phone settings page says you are charging via USB and not AC - then either the charger or phone is faulty.
I have a 2012 Nexus 7.
Previously the usb socket was damaged and when the charger was plugged in nothing happened.
I replaced the usb socket and for 3 months it's been fine.
This week though, it's not been charging.
When i plug I the charger cable, the tablet recognizes it and indicates it is charging - the tablet though slowly goes down in charge.
I have 50% of battery left.
Any ideas?
1) Running what version of Android?
2) Wall charger or USB port from PC?
3) If wall charger - original?
Fixed it. The connection to the battery wasn't secure.
About a month ago my Note 4 stopped charging properly. I thought the battery was just getting on in age but with some troubleshooting I've noticed some symptoms-
#1- No longer shows up as Fast Charger plugged in. Whether it is Quick Charger, Regular 1A Charger, USB cable to Car Charger- it always shows up as USB Charging. This takes about 8 hours for a full charge.
#2 - Phone no longer connects to computer via USB .
#3 - Today I attempted to put a Wireless Qi Charger in, and while I was able to get some charging on a friends note. My Note seemingly is unaffected, even though the Qi Charging comes from the back plates- NOT from the USB port.
I'm guessing my 'charging unit' is damaged. Though I'm willing to hear out any suggestions.
Can anyone think of any components that would make this so?
Right now an external battery charger seems the only reasonable fix.
I've noticed that my N6 doesn't charge. The USB cable and charger are fine I tested with my N5.
My phone doesn't charge, not even when it's off. I put it in bootloader mode and the PC recognizes it through the 'fastboot devices' command but it doesn't charge. If I move the cable a bit it says 'Battery Low (Charging)', it also can change to 'Batteries OK' or 'Battery OK (charging)'.
If I go to recovery it says isn't charging, I don't see the '+' next to the battery percentage.
Also before I turned the phone off I connected my USB through an USB adapter and the phone recognized the USB.
It also turns off sometimes when I turn it on.
What could be causing this? Any suggestions? Please help.
If your N6 doesn't charge it. will turn of when the battery is low.
It could be the charger, usb connector or cable.
Because the N6 has a Qi charge module, you could try wireless charging to check if the charge circuit is still working.
Start with cleaning the usb connector of the phone (dust, dirty etc...) ; take a deep breath...
