I've had the Droid 3 for about 10 days now, and I've been encountering an intermittent problem with charging the phone.
Last night, I plugged in my phone so that it would charge overnight. I made sure that the connections to both the phone and the outlet were firm, and upon plugging it in, my phone's battery icon and lock screen both indicated that it was charging. However, when I woke up this morning, I discovered that the battery had actually continued to discharge overnight. Despite this, the battery icon and lock screen both continued to say that the battery was charging.
I've run into this problem three times this past week. It's entirely possible that I just have a defective device, but I wanted to check and make sure that nobody else was experiencing this issue before taking it back to Verizon.
Check the task manager for programs using lots of cpu. I've found that using google maps nav in the car dock while charging still in fact uses more power than it could charge. Your issue is with the screen off though so check for background apps.

I have had this problem 2 times and I have had the phone for about the same time. I plugged it in at like 40% watched a movie screen never came on till the movie was over I looked at my screen and the battery was at 11%. I was thinking maybe just a bad connection untill I looked at the notification bar and it said it was charging!
I just got my Droid 3 yesterday and last night, the first night of use, it did the same thing. Even if I go into battery usage and look at the graph it'll say charging but the power level will be going down. Very frustrating.
A Verizon rep I spoke with recommended trying a different charger. Sounds reasonable enough, so I'll give that a shot and post back after a few nights of use.
What is the current rating of the chargers you guys are using? (i.e. 850 mA, 1 A, etc). A good rule of thumb is not use anything less than 1 A (1000 mA).
The Motorola-supplied charger is 850mA.

This sounds logical. I had this same problem two phones that happened to have a slide-out keyboard (Shift, G2) and the problem vanished when I used a different charger. I just read today that 100s of people were having this problem today in a news feed.
I was having the issue too, so I used a 2A charger that came with my Huawei tablet...no more issues! (Charge time is about 1.5 hours too!)

I'd be careful about using higher amperage chargers. Don't want to be burning out the charging circuitry. Not saying you will.. just be careful using a charger not designed specifically for the device.
Apparently the new Moto LiPo batteries have another level of overcharge protection. To be safe, I'm going to use an ohm-meter about once a week or so to check the internal contacts (a higher ohm rating would suggest damage).

Good to know. I found one of those chargers for $6, I'm considering getting one now.

That's not the one I have, I'm using the USB-output charger from the S7 SLIM, then the Moto supplied USB cable.
Well, it's been a few days, and I haven't experienced the problem since switching to a different charger. Granted, the problem was intermittent, so it's difficult to know for certain if the charger was in fact the issue, but I'm content with this solution.
I've been using my iPad's 5.1V 2.1A charger without issues for a few days. It charges the extended battery from 10% to full in a little over an hour.
That's the dual-core proc for ya. Wonder why the Xoom uses a proprietary charger? dual-core devices nom battery.

No? Dual core is more efficient, it shuts down one of the processors when it's not in use. Dual core means nothing about power efficiency. As a matter of fact, it can have an advantage. Each core uses less power, and combined, they can use less power than a similarly powerful chipset.
I've also run into some issues on my 5 day old Droid 3. It seems to be when disconnected from the charger. I have two regular Moto chargers for this, and tried a 1A HTC charger, which this thing will not charge from.
I tried using different micro USB cables, which didn't help, either. I was trying to move the phone around while charging, and seemed to encounter the issue. Either it's a connector issue for the mUSB, or the (especially short and stiff) charging cables have broken conductors inside, and we're getting a bad batch of cords.
Possibly the D3 has its own issue with charging, but I didn't have a problem until this morning. regular mUSB cords won't work for me at all, as I've tried all I have.
Given this issue, I'm wondering how widespread this is, and if it's something to take the phone back for. I took me a few hours (over 3) of waiting and fiddling with it, but it's at least charging now.
I had this issue to. I used a different charger and cord to charge my phone at night woke up the next day no charge. I went to work pluged in to my wall charger and still no charge. I did a factory reset thinking that might work but it did not. I was going to take it to a verizon store after work so on the way there I pluged in to my car charger an it started to charge so I skipped the store. When I got home I used a different cord and wall charger and it also worked. I did notice that when I plugged in the night before that a small little white light was lit up for a second in between the charging port and hdmi. I know there is a light there but never seen it light up before. So maybe that was behind all of this. Not had a problem sense.

The amperage you see stated PS units has no effect on your phone. That's not how many amps leaves the unit to charge your battery. That's how much the PS unit can handle as a draw. In reality the reason the stock ones are only 850 only means that the manufacture used spec parts for the PS unit. i would think that Motorola's minimum spec was 850 and so that's what the PS units manufacture used.
The higher the number means nothing other than you can bet the 1AMP one is going to out last the 850.
Of course the last statement is highly speculative because i have no idea what the amp rating for the phone is. But what i do know is that all the parts are made in china and you can bet they are not going to overbuild anything.
If the amp range is 675-832, which is the number I would expect then if the phone draws more than 850 for an extended period of time the units internal fuse could blow. Unless of course you purchased a third party unit that has an external fuse. Then you can jsut replace the fuse and not have to worry about going out to buy Chinese garbage. lolz
but then again i bet this Droid 3 is made in china, oh well. I like it anyway
Hey guys so lately there's been a lot of discussion about the pogo charger.
I've checked all the threads and more than the value of the charger, the forums are filled with shipping complaints.
I can't seem to sort out the opinions and real comments on the pogo.
As such, for those really on the fence about getting a charger (like me) I made this poll, since there was one on screen protectors to help people choose.
Any comments made, please make constructive opinions on if you have a pogo charger, if it's worth it, etc. (not on your shipping problems please)
Thanks!
I only bought it because I thought it would be able to charge my tablet while under heavy usage (1.7GHz performance gov + full brightness), and sadly it doesn't even seem capable of doing this.

I seem to remember somebody stating that under heavy usage they've saw a current drain over 3A. If your situation is the same, nothing is going to keep up with that which is over the max of the charging circuit. It's simple to test for that.
The POGO cord charges faster but stops during OTG usage, no ROM/kernel Dev's have tried to solve this issue so far. There may be another issue with cigarette lighter type power supply also.
Shipping just took time from Korea, now they have a US shipping source through Amazon.
I really like it, saves wear and tear on the USB. I charge at night, and never have enough time to use it that I run the battery in a day. The OTG complication is annoying, but liveable, and hopefully likely to be solved.
I like the reduced wear on the micro usb connection and additional safety of quicker disconnect if cord is yanked from tripping. I charge the tablet at night, so not too concerned whether charging is quicker. I would love to see some ideas on how to improvise a charging dock using this cable!
I think whether it's worth it totally depends on the reason you want it. If you want to use OTG while charging or to do data transfer, it's obviously a bust.
These are the reasons I'm very happy with it, in order of priority:
1) Saves stress on the USB jack, especially if dropped or banged against something.
2) Easy to click onto the N10 when I'm done reading an ebook in bed at night and I'm sleepy.
3) Charges a bit faster than USB.
If you're looking for a miraculously shorter charge time then it's not worth getting.
Definitely worthwhile ... it is one of the nicest accessories I've purchased in a while. I purchased it only for the convenience of not having to mess with the mUSB charging. It delivered. My charging graphs indicate that it charges at a faster rate than the mUSB ... just a small extra bonus.

^^ this.
I bought it because I've had occasions where others in the house have messed up micro-usb connections on phones due to using them while still plugged in - with this, there's no way of easily damaging it
And so far, so good! Would really recommend it.

Wow, max brightness ? I find the lowest setting really bright.
I did general usage on lowest brightness and it charged pretty good, IMO.
It was worth every penny and when they come back in stock at Amazon I will order another.
I use my tablet heavily throughout the day and found myself unable to charge it completely while I slept. Now using the stock wall wart and pogo it charges in a fraction of the time. Like I said, worth every penny.
Charges faster, but was it worth it for me? Still undecided. The main reason for me getting it was to plug a HD into an OTG cable and still get power to the device via the POGO. Unfortunately that will not work. The POGO will not charge when running OTG. Shame.
Back in stock on Amazon... Just ordered one tonight. I'm interested for two reasons. Slightly faster charging (not a big deal for me, as I generally plug it in at night, and use it much of the day), and I also like the idea of the pogo connector instead of using the USB socket every day. Should have it in 3 to 5 business days.
... beamed from my Nexus 10 to your planet
Just ordered one off eBay, should have it by the 20th at the latest. I spend a lot of time driving so carry the Nexus 10 around with me in the car and I've bent the USB plug on the cable so though I'm better off getting the pogo charger incase I damage the USB port on the tablet
Answer- Yes it is but...
Just got the pogo cable on Friday and did some testing over the weekend and have some results and observations.
I ran my N10 down to 10% Saturday and plugged in via the pogo cable at about 11:30pm. . When I checked Battery Monitor Widget the following morning it showed fully charged at 4am. Total time 4.5 hours. Max charging rate was at 1916mA and tapered to 415mA.
Sunday I did the same, (11% and 11:30pm) and used the USB cable. A check of BMW showed the N10 fully charged by 5am. Total time 5.5 hours. Max rate was 1559mA and a taper to 420mA.
So, an hour faster. Not huge, but significant. Overall I think the important thing with the pogo cable is that it will charge as you use it. When I plugged in with it before I turned the screen off I was showing a net charge, while with USB it continued to discharge, albeit slower.
Both of these (admittedly unscientific) tests were done with the OEM charger and USB cable.
The pogo charger is a great way to save the USB port of the Nexus 10 if you have young kids. Since the pogo charger is magnetic, there no way to damage the tablet when a toddler yanks it off a desk while its charging. I am very happy with my pogo cable. Bought it off amazon and got it in 2 days.

Is anyone finding that their phone doesn't charge wirelessly? I tried a total of 4 devices, and 2 qi chargers last night and every device worked correctly for each charger except for the N6. I saw a MBKHD vid of how he couldn't get Qi working, but have seen other vids with people doing it no issue. Are there some defective devices out there or something?

My Nexus 5 charger works but the 6 has to be placed just so to get it to charge. The coil seems to be south of the phones equator.

I tried that charger and another one. Held it to the back with my hand, and slowly started sliding it all over the back of the phone to attempt to find a sweet spot. It never worked for me. :crying:
I found the nexus 5 charger very difficult, and it will not charge with the Motorola turbo charging block powering it. You need to use a regular AC/DC adapter.
The Nexus 4 Orb charger works fairly well, you need to be a little careful with placement but surgical like precision is not necessary. I would not buy this charger for the n6, but since I have it I will use it at work.
I did buy a Nokia dt-910 last night. This charger is supposed to work well with the n6.

If I remember right, the Nexus Wireless Charger requires a 1.8A supply, and the Turbo charger is only 1.6A. That may be one issue. Another is that I'm pretty sure the Nexus charger determines the source type the same way Android phones do. In other words, it requires that the data pins be shorted together (otherwise, it assumes you're connected to a 500mA computer USB port). Use a standard "power only" cable (which doesn't have data wires at all), and it won't work. In either case... even when it does work, it's probably the worst charger for the N6. It was really designed to use those magnets for proper alignment, and without them, the N6, which has to be placed off-center, tends to fall off.
The Nokia DT-910 is probably one of the best chargers for the N6. Its only downfall is that it's a lower-amperage charger (I'm not at home to check, but I want to say 900mA-ish.) Still charges the N6 in a few hours though, so I've never really had an issue there.

I tried different cords, power blocks, and I even have a wall outlet in my house that has USB ports directly into the power.
My old wireless orb and a Zens charger seem to work fine. Maybe a tad warm when I pick up from charger.
Nexus 4 orb seems to work, although it's hard to balance the phone.
My dog ate my charger and I'm looking to buy this one till I order a new one. Anybody have any thoughts on it?
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/insigni...lack/5690015.p?id=1219148349637&skuId=5690015
Seems like it would work but there are two things i would like to point out. First this is not a quick charge 2.0 charger so fast charge will not work with it, it will charge at normal rate. Also for myself i try to get wall chargers with removable cables just in case my pet eats thru it I can replace them easily and trust me i have gone through 4 cables in the last 4 months. That said i have had good experiences with ones bought from Ebay as well since the prices are far too tempting.
Is rapid charge the same as quick charge?

Usually not at all. What people claim as "rapid charge" is just a small increase in amperage (usually 2+ amps). By reference, USB 2.0 spec is 500mA.
Quickcharge 2.0 increases both the voltage and the amperage it can supply (is. even more wattage). The exact values are negotiated by the phone and what it draws - which is dependent on the current phase of charging.
Here's the exact same one we got with our note 4, OEM and everything! Plus it's way cheaper than the insignia one

I tried on 3 different wireless charger same result, thn had a word with Google customer care and they said it's a on going problem with many devices and their tech team is looking into it.
wireless chargers I tried are from brands spigen, unigen, baseus
My P7 just came in and tested it on my three chargers. ALL WORK flawlessly.
Xiaomi 25W. Jootech 15W and another 5/10W unbranded cheap charger.
Soo...either you have a crap case on your device stopping it from charging, or your pixel is defective.
just to drop you a line:
Yootech + Xiaomi charger support Max Speed of 12W @ Pixel 7.
Actually I saw 13,5W at some time, but mostly it´s like 12,7W.
I'm having the same problem with different pixels since the 13 update.
They kinda fixed something, because it now charges, but sometimes and very slow.
You need the right charger. Industry are total idiots.
Most want you to buy QuickCharge chargers with the qualcom tech inside.
Obviously Google, Samsung and Apple switched/chose PowerDelivery are as "their charging tech".
Buy something like this:
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B09QM3NCS4?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
It has both worlds and other than the 33W charger who never exceeded 18W when charged on both ports I didn´t see this one throttle down anything.
Additionally there are differences in the charging stand. I don´t really get it and since there is no information of built in chips or whatever best you can do is take their promises for real. I can confirm this with my own experience. Yootech Stand was pretty slow with the Xiaomi Mi10. Now is the king in the ring with the Pixel 7 by 0,5W.
Try this one:
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B09H2S98MK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
It is often recommended with google phones.
But It was in fact minimal slower than the other two I have here, so I´m going to send it back.
12-14W are possible with this thing.
If you want the total wireless power you´ll need the absurd expensive and UGLY Google stand.
Tested my WCS now couple times:
Yootech 13-15W
Xiaomi 12-14W
Funfact: Putting the Pixel upside down on the chargers give 1 extra Watt of charging speed.
Prooves many of the stands are too small for todays smartphones.
This "effect" will differ with phone-size and case used on the phone.

Hey I am from India so tried 4-5 wireless charger available here but none of thm I found working, only one charger I found I shows battery percentage when I keep my phone on it but it doesn't also charge my phone.
But I tried wireless charging other device with my Pixel 7 using battery share option and those able to get charge from my Pixel 7 so this means wireless charging is working fine for my Pixel 7, if I am not wrong.
So I need to get an proper wireless charger, am I correct?
I had a word with customer care for Pixel and they said any Qi enabled charger will work with Pixel 7 but all the wireless charger I tried support Qi enabled devices but thn also no luck.
Any specific charger I need to look for other than Pixel wireless charker it's too costly in India.
Plz suggest
First thing to try is put the naked phone on the wireless charger.
Had several cases where family members were moaning about wireless charing it wasnt the several chargers they tried but their "beloved" phone-case
Charger recommenadion: charger with "𝙂𝙖𝙉 𝙄𝙄𝙄" like the one from pluggify
Stand recommendation: INIU Wireless Charger Stand
/EDIT: I can only repeat....ANY STAND I´ve put my P7 on WORKED flawlessly.
The fastest one is indeed the one in my car by 0,5-1W charging speed.
I tried 5 different ones so far.
I got this one, and it works. Charging slow, but for me it's OK: Anker 10W Max Wireless Charger, 313 Wireless Charger (Pad). I got a slim no name TPU case on my device all the time.
These are said to be working (German Android forums):
SAMSUNG EP-P4300B
INIU Wireless Charger, 15W
MoKo Wireless Charger + + QC Charger
Pixel Stand 2 (of course)
Amazon Brand - Eono C1
Belkin BoostCharge
+1 on Anker qi charger. It maxes out at 11W for me with a case on so it's a little slow I guess, but I keep it bedside and use it at night with an 85% limit set to (theoretically) save battery life - so it works fine for me.

Something is wrong with your device or methods. Are you swapping your Note 3 sim with the Pixel 7 or not registering it correctly with the network? Your frustration is palpable and maybe it's time to just go back to Sammy and cut your losses. Either that or put aside the Note 3 and focus on getting the setup for the P7 working as most of us here have done. The device is not a piece of garbage as you state so start over again with a reset and working sim and ask questions from that standpoint.
Thanks for the advice. I'll keep you posted. I want to like this phone, it just keeps letting me down . . .

Well there have been instances of faulty hardware so perhaps an RMA? Or did you do that already? Oh I just looked and you're on your third device. It would help if we knew more about your setup. Like carrier, wireless charger not working, type of sim (physical or eSim) maybe even country you're in. I would start from scratch and factory reset with a brand new physical sim from the carrier, put the sucker in when prompted and connect to the network. Don't restore anything yet even though it's a pain to reset everything back up. Just make sure it works and perhaps go to a store like Best Buy and test out the Google wireless charger. If you can make and receive calls and texts, get data and charge wireless then go from there. Failing any of those simple things would require another RMA. It's really a nice device so I hope you get it figured out.
