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
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??

hmmm.. Try to install another stock rom perhaps, not the same one you have..
So... Yesterday my battery decided to drain really fast. Checked the mA and it was -1137 and when I plug in my charger it decreases still to-500 or more than -2000. When im not using my phone the phone will charge about 5% per hour and stops charging at times. Leave it over noght and it might charge 10%. Same gies for when the phone is turned off and charging. So, is it the usb port or the battery.
The battery drains real fast. The port is clean and the board looks fine when i dissassemble. Usb cable holds tight, when i pull the connector part up then it disconnects.Used multipll cables, sockets, and chargers.
Is it my battery or the port?

I've just posted my solutions to some very similar problems you've described. Not able to to post links but it should be easy to find, just search for [solution]usb port / charging issues.
Have you checked the two copper plates on the under side of the removable plastic unit just above the usb socket. Adjust / manipulating the connection there has solved my charging problems.
Hope this helps. I'm not an expert by a long shot, but if this is not the case, and you have replaced / renewed everything, then I at very least would recommend trying a new battery.
Regards
Tom
With how difficult it is to plug and unplug the charger. Do you think we will have problems down the line?
I don't have any difficulty plugging or unplugging the USB cable that came with the Tab S 8.4

Just give it a little more time then it will be very easy to plug/unplug in :>
I'm having charging issues after owning it for a few months. Sometimes it won't charge. The charger would get super hot. I'll unplug it and let it rest. Then charge again. It would be fine. The charger always gets hot though.
difficulty? it slips right in and out, like any USB charger.
I have Samsung fast wireless charger(flat).....it has micro usb port and whenever i try to charge my note 8 it says "wirelessly charging" but instead of charging.. my device loose its charging percentage...even if its power off....i have tried plugging in wireless charger with samsung fast charging adapter with micro usb cable...but still same issue...says "wirelessly charging" then after sometime losses some juice
Have you tried using the same charging pad with other devices that support wireless charging? If the same thing happens with those then your charger is faulty and needs replace. If it doesn't then the wireless charging coil on your Note 8 is faulty and needs repaired. I would suggest taking it to a Samsung Service Center and let them take a look at it.
Have you tried to use an other cable? Often it's a broken or bad quality cable that causes problems.
