Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone had any insights in to this problem I have been having.
Briefly, I have the 4g lte verion on EE's new network. I purchased the official MHL/HDMI adapter which works fine and the video is outputed to my sammy 50inch tv fine. The issue I have is the battery drains while doing so. I belive this may to due to the phone outputting more than it is drawing from the power source. Any thoughts ?
I spoke with Samsung tech and they said a number of people have started to report this issue and they are currently testing/investigating. If this is indeed the case seems a pointless acessory as a long video would possibly drain the whole battery, Im yet to test the full drain time.
Secondly, with a 3rd party docking cradle with spare battery slot which purchased from amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/eLifeStore®-Samsung-Desktop-Charger-Docking/dp/B008PPRGFY) also does not charge phone properly. Even with the orignial charger in the ac port (or usb port) . The phone reports as charging but stays the same or decreases. Charged directly from the socket it is fine. Strange!
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ian
It's common. Mine did that too! I switched to my old S2 charger, problem solved
Thanks Ill try that out, any idea why that works ?

No idea man? A design fault maybe? All I know is that my phone took for f#*%ing ever to charge with the USB type wall charger. I pulled it out of the socket and plugged my other other one in that was sitting right next to it and it started charging? Checked a few minutes later and it had climbed considerably so I pulled the USB cable out of the new plug and kicked it under the bed where it now lays resting not to be used again LOL.
USB plug/cord works perfectly fine? So I use it on the computer. My laptop even charges the phone via the USB cable faster than the socket plug (which is usually the opposite - as I am sure we are all aware). So yeah I would say poor design or defective wall plug or both or something? Wasn't going to send my phone back because of it. 2second decision problem solved Samsung phone is great!
Im having exactly the same problem.
I have an s3 on orange and have the same mhl adapter conected to my tv.
I have tried the charger from my s3 which does says its charging when I connect my phone but only for about a minute so I also tried using the charger from my s2 and that just does exactly the same.
An easier way is to buy the official allshare dongle for your hdtv then you can stream anything from your phones screen direct to your tv and can have the phone on charge via pc or wall socket at the same time,
Hope this helps
i suggest you throw away your original charger (slow charge) and its usb cable (loose - actually caused the extsd to become damaged to the point i had to repartition) and buy yourself a cheap usb cable for data (£2) and a 3rd party charger (pref not a usb adapter one - £5) and all should be fine!
I still experienced a small battery drain while using the mhl adapter, however, i froze a few apps with titianuim (ones i know run all the time like utter and tasker, paragon ntfs, easy ums, directory bind etc), and put it on min brightness - works like a charm. I know its a effort freezing apps but does the trick with my phone... Since finding that out i actually keep paragon & easy ums frozen till i need them...
just a few thoughts for you....
I noticed sometimes the wireless charging doesn't work. But the odd thing is if I hard connect the usb cord for a few seconds...then put it back on the charger ...it will work just fine. It's very odd and does not do it all the time...but when it does malfunction, a quick connect and it worked fine again.
As for my charger...I am using the palm pixi back and the touchstone and it has worked great for my previous s3 and works great on the note 3 as well...except for that glitch. Just thought I'd let others know if they have the same issue with official chargers.
damn after almost 3years he the usb port died on me. but i get why cause he must have fall like 5time off my bed on the ground with the charging cable in it. so it fell on the charger port. but unitil today it stoped working, it charges but doent charge. it stays at 11% afeter 2h i got 12% i turned back to web os for charging.
but this sucks... 130€ tablet died on me today. i saw some new windows8 netbook/tablet asus t100 with full windowas and touchscreen and keyboard for 350€ bbut i dont reealy have 350€ here... sucks.
but there is no way to fix the charging issue?
buy a Touchstone charger

Try another USB cable they often break. If that doesn't work you can always get a Touchstone and the WiFi file transfer app. That should allow you to keep using the tablet like normal.
The usual HP TouchPad battery drain issues:
-If your battery is heavily drained, then you may need to leave it charging for a full day.
-When the battery is fully drained it can take the TP a longtime to reach even the lowest battery level.
-The USB cable that comes with the HP TP is often defective and breaks easily. Try using another USB cable if possible.
-The USB cable does not transfer enough power to effectively charge the tablet. You must use the wall plug when charging the HP TouchPad.
-To be safe don't let your HP TouchPad run out of Batteries ever! Install one of these free apps!
-You can add an automatic shutdown Rule by doing the following.
-AutomateIt, Play Store Link- What to do: New Rule/Trigger Battery level(Below 20%)/Action/Shutdown//save. Or
-Llama, Play Store Link- Location Profiles:Event tab choose + (at the bottom of the screen) Addcondition (battery Level Below 20%) Actions (turn off phone)

So I was bending over to pull an electrical cord out of the socket behind my entertainment unit, and I used my touchpad (in a case) to support my weight, I didn't realise that I had it cable side down, well just as I grabbed the power cord the usb cable gave way and I thought I had broken my touchpad too.
Anyway, I tried a new cable and it worked fine, these tablets may not be pretty, but they sure are tough.
Hope you have some luck in getting it fixed.

but yeah. maybe i will buy the charger. i like android tablet. but saw the asus transformer t100 tablet with dock keyboard windows 8.1 tablet. 350€ 32gb. but more interested in the 380€ 64gb.
but yeah damn 380€ much but its good for studies and things full windows. but still im gonna want my android tablet.
so i think i will buy one day the charger. but euh, if my battery is empty does touchstone charge it from dead? other wise im ****ed...
Had some problem but solved
Hi reggiexp,
I had the same issue of touchpad not charging. But i used my Nokia lumia charger plugged into TP when it is dead throughout the night and found it 48% charged in the morning after i switched on. When i reconnected the tp when it was on it came to full charge in an hour. Try this.
Please ignore the warning that the USB cable is not genuine which comes when you connect different USB cable.
Hope it helps!
Thought I would post this just in case anyone else is looking for a solution here. Purchased this off Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ES5ZSW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Doesn't cause pop any warnings while charging. Still using the plug that was sent with the touchpad and it is working better than the other one. Feels a little more secure while plugged in.
I'm a big fan of the touchstone.
However I sort of have the opposite problem as both of my Touchstone chargers have quite working. Each at different times. My suspicion is they suffered the same faulty cable fate. Unfortunately I won't be purchasing another as they are to expensive to replace at this point.
my touchpad colects dust now. its i think at 70% battery if not more i turned it of. and put it in a drawer Xd
sucks but yeah. i had a great time with it. was realy a BANG FOR THE BUCK, bust buy i ever made

Just a thought, but if you don't plan on using your Touchpad anymore, you could maybe consider donating it to a developer interested in toying with one? To broaden the support base of those still running this thing lol.
Or wait, so is the USB port dead or not? I thought an earlier post made it seem like it wasn't. Sorry if I misread lol.

Not dead just a miss connection cause it charges but slow. Toke me almost a week to fully charge it.
Tried different usb cables. Nothing helped.
Think it needs a new usb connector. But i dont use it. And didnt even try to take it apart. Im way to laxy its a grest tablet. Wantrd to give it to my mom but if it doesnt charge well my mom wont have any use for it.
Found a usb board 16euro +10euro sending. But yeah is it worth it... Will try to take my touchpad apart to see if its realy broken. And maybe repair it so my mom has a tablet again.

Hey guys,
Just got the 5.1.1 update to my g watch and i noticed some charging differences, namely i can no longer charge my watch with my pc (its an always on pc). I checked cables etc and all are fine, and it will still charge through an AC outlet. Ive tried usb 2.0 and 3.0 ports.
Just wondered if anyone else had noticed this behaviour? The charging indicator wont even show up when its plugged into my pc. Also noting that usb debugging still works through my pc and all is detected fine there

I have the same update, and have the same problem as you, I only noticed it last night when I put it on to charge, I charge mine every night on the same usb port and have had no problems till last night, like yours mine will only charge from mains now, I've tested all my usb ports and they are all working okay. I hope some one has an answer for it.
I´ve checked this and mine works perfectly with a 5m cable connected to a usb hub. I´ve checked with other cables and without hub, and this still works.
I was able to address the issue by rebooting the watch.

So do i! Usb ports are working fine, my pc is custom built so i have specific ports designed for quicker charging of anything plugged into them

If i reboot the watch whilst it is on the charger, it charges via usb in my pc - but if i take it off and put it back on, the problem returns, despite it still working with an AC charger, i'm assuming this is a software problem as android knows when its charging via usb or AC anyway. Hopefully a dev over here or the LG guys will fix it - i don't want to have to restart my watch every time i want to charge it, it's a pain in the arse and i shouldn't have to do it - i have a lack of AC ports in my room, hence i charge through my pc

Just checked - same behavior here.
Always fun to be a beta tester for Google. At least there's a workaround.

haha well, i can use an AC power source and charge my phone in my pc, they are both super close to me just my phone takes longer to charge
My watch was slower to charge I did notice that. Took an entire extra hour!
I have the same problem but I posted in the wrong thread (LG G Watch General)

Hi
I have 2 chargers because I use one for travel. After updating to 5.1.1, one works and the other does not. I swapped the components and found it was the cable. I hope that this helps.

All my cables seem to produce the same result, maybe it's just me - i tried the one that came with a quick charge charger and even that does the same thing. hmm, will pick up a new cable tomorrow and check it out!
I just had my watch on the charger and with out taking it off, restarted it and now it is charging. Definitely a bug of some sort

I wouldn't bother. Some chargers just behave like USB devices to be able to charge older Blackberrys. I used the same cable with the PC and with a wall wart. Only the wall wart works unless I reboot the watch.
Thanks, most people seem to confirm its a bug.. That's what I love about xda, you can always find things like this. Thanks for all your help.
Hi, glad I found this thread.
I am having the same problem. It doesn't charge since the 5.1.1 update, but if it lays on the charger and I reboot it, it charges. If I take it off and put it back on, it doesn't charge and I need to reboot it again.
Have the same problem. After reboot, it charges on usb much slower but doesn't look like it (No charging icon). Otherwise I love the update.
Did you all factory reset after updating your watch? I also couldn't charge until I rebooted but it charges fine after the reboot.
Same issue
I can confirm the same behaviour. I have to reboot the g watch and then it start charging. Definitely a bug
Same here, watch was charging wen I went to sleep but charging stopped at around 60%

I've expressed my frustration over at the Android Wear help forum:
https://productforums.google.com/fo.../VRbw2FWOaiI;context-place=forum/android-wear
Oddly, my watch did NOT include the wall charger even though I got it new from Best Buy. Did anyone else not get a wall charger? I'm not the type to just blindly miss something as useful as a USB wall charger. I remember opening it up and saying to myself, "I guess I'll have to use my monitors USB port." I don't throw that stuff out. I still have the box and all the packing materials as well, and it's nowhere in there.
So I bought a Microsoft HD-500 Display Dock (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I749CKO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and it was working awesome! HDMI and audio and charging, the whole works. Then yesterday morning when I plugged my Razer 2 in again, the HDMI wouldn't work for some reason. Charging still was good. But the monitor wasn't receiving a signal. I tried the monitor on a computer to make sure it wasn't the monitor, and it works fine. So I don't know if it is the dock or the phone at this point and don't have another phone to test the dock with. Other than regular app updates I haven't changed any settings or anything on the phone so I am not sure what happened. Anyone have any ideas or other suggestions of things I could check or test?
