[Q] Venue while charging Issue *Solved* - Dell Venue

Is it me or anyone has experianced it?
When I put my Venue on charge, try using it while on charge, the touch either freezes or is hard not smooth as it actually must be.
But when i unplug from charging the fone acts normal.
Has anyone faced this before?
Any workaround?
Possible thread on this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814975
But not a proper solution here.

I had seen a 2nd hand dell venue in a local store before i bought my venue.
That handset was totally discharged and shop owner put it on charge.
after 15 minutes he gave me the phone to see with charger connected.
I saw same problem in that as u described
Touch was not working it was too hard to scroll even.
Shop owner told me nothing wrong with handset but when u connect duplicate charger, all android phones will respond this way and said he has plugged into a duplicate charger.
Im using galaxy y charger and so far havent faced any problem with charging.
u can probably try using some other charger.A branded one.

Mine has never had that problem. I routinely have it charging plugged into the USB port of a Viewsonic GTablet. I have also charged it plugged into my car, and to several other charging sources. If fact, the one thing I do not use is the Dell charger that came with the phone. If it does not work when plugged in, there is a problem with the phone.

Same thing happens with my Venue when connected to the wall outlet. Never bothered me, but I will try other chargers to see if this happens as well.

I think there is a problem with that port in our x10's. I read many topics about charging problems. You have to be very carefull with it. I think micro usb socket is getting loose after 'heavy' use so it needs replacing.

hi
i had the same problem with my x10
i rang/phoned sony erriccson and did not mention that my phone was bought from ebay
they told me to return the phone and they emailed me a form to print and send them with the phone
6 days after i posted them my phone they sent me a new phone
the warranty is checked by the serial number so if you keep quiet you should probably be OK
hope this has helped and that you can understand

Mozart does not charge!!!

Hi all,
My problem started a week ago.I plugged Mozart with a usb cable to a pc at the office.After one hour i touch it ,was too hot.(I think the usb was broken) Unplug the cable and take battery off.
Now my mozart does not charge with usb or charger.I also can't sync it with Zune.Does anyone tell me is there battery problem or board problem?When i plug charger the led on the top is not lighting.What can i do?
Thanks
Try another USB-MicroUSB cable. I've found the one that was supplied with the phone very unreliable, I get this problem every once in a while. It works fine with other cables though.

Thank you for answer.Unfortunately i tried many charger or usb cable,even new battery.Nothing happen.I think something damaged on the board.
Find the same battery and replace for test. If someone else will not be charged - a problem in the board.
If i was you i would send it back to the carrier to be fixed or replaced if you can.

won't charge when powered off

Streak 5.
Build 15697 (353). Stock 2.2 AT&T
rooted with GingerBreak
My streak 5 won't charge when the device is powered off. It used to, and I loved being able to tough the power button briefly and get the % of charge. I am not knowledgeable enough to customize the device much. It took me a long time just to figure out how to root the thing. It did charge fine for several months after rooting. I've tried a factory re-set.
I did install ADW launcher, launcher 7 and home switcher for froyo and I've played around with some themes. I rarely use them. I would love to have the coolest, newest stuff on my streak 5. But, I can spend hours troubleshooting with no results.
Also...is there/ should there be a format for questions? I see a lot of titles that say "help me please" or some other un-necessary info. It makes researching so time consuming!
Some of the apps I have installed are Titanium Backup pro version, astro, gingerbreak, quickboot, superuser, home switcher for froyo.
I hope I've given you the information you need to help me.
it happens to me thou sometymz just the 3 leds glow, so remove battery for 15 sec and try

Beginning charge: 84%
Variables: 1 Dell issued cable, 1 Dell issued wall adapter. 1 HTC issued wall adapter. 1 Sony Vaio VPCCW21FX laptop (with the worst speaker on a laptop since 1999!)
TESTS:
Streak is on. took back cover off, which causes shut down. removed battery for a minimum of 15 seconds, but less than 1 minute. put battery back in. Streak is NOT on when plugged in charger to wall (outlet is varified as working with HTC EVO DESIGN) for 15 minutes. no noticeable effect (no lights. no response when the power button is touched to see charge status.) Dell cable is plugged into HTC wall adapter with the only Dell cable into a different and varified wall outlet for an additional 15 minutes. No noticeable effect. plugged in charger to laptop for an additional 15 minutes. Again, no noticeable effect. removed streak from laptop, and turned streak on. Battery charge at 83%. plugged in charger to Dell issued wall adapter and Dell issed cable. streak battery symbol immediately showed lightning bolt. Plugged in at 4:22pm. At 4:29pm charge was at 93%. Removed from Dell wall adapter and plugged into HTC wall adapeter. Charge continued.
As previously mentioned I've tried the factory reset.
I beleive my findings illustrate that the Dell issued wall adapter and cable are in working order. I think that this leaves the issue within the device itself: possibly the root apps.
One program I forgot to add earlier was busybox free. Other programs mentioned before: astro, busybox free, gingerbreak, home switcher froyo, launcher 7, quick boot, superuser, titanium backup (only paid version). Of course there are other apps installed, but these don't seem to have the ability to effect the streak much. Those other apps don't require root.
I don't know exactly when the streak stopped accepting a charge when it was off, but it did NOT happen directly after rooting.
On a side note, I'm concerned about updating apps. The risk is the app not working properly, and having to go through the trouble of seeking out the older version that did work. Is it worth the risk? Why update if everything is working properly?
I hope that the members here are able to help me. Deysmacro, I believe you are mistaken.

Please look at the attached photos. I do not think anything is broken. But, I really don't see the pins that you speak of. It doesn't look like the pins of an old printer connection.
Thank you for this ongoing support.

Madhatter,
I have taken another 2 pictures. Both are the same area of the Streak 5. This is the port where the charger plugs in. In the previous picture it looked slightly different because of the otterbox.
Please look carefully: the area looks different than yours. I do not notice any damage.
I have taken the battery out, waited 15 seconds, replaced battery but left the cover off, and plugged in the charger. There was no effect. I removed the cord from the wall adapter and plugged it into the laptop. Again, no effect.
If I could find someone in this area that has a Dell Streak I'd ask to borrow their cord. If there is a "pin" broken in the dell streak 5, I can't see it. But, its very hard to see inside there.
Thank you for your continued help.

By "charger" do you mean wall adapter power supply? I have plugged the cord into my laptop, my HTC wall adapter power supply and my dell power supply.
" Dell cable is plugged into HTC wall adapter with the only Dell cable into a different and varified wall outlet for an additional 15 minutes. No noticeable effect. plugged in charger to laptop for an additional 15 minutes. Again, no noticeable effect."
If I misunderstood you, please let me know.
And thanks for trying.
won't charge Software?
Does anyone think its possible that this is a software issue?
If it is a hardware issue, there must be something not making connections, like MadHatter has said. So, this 15th "pin" that is different in my streak 5 by-passes the other mechanisms and turns on the streak5 at a basic level so that only basic functions work? interesting....
maybe deysmacro was right in the first place. Maybe it is a hardware issue. I hope its the cable and not inside the dell streak.
okay, try this, cut a scotch tape and put it on either side of ur connector starting from inside folding outside as in d pic, if pins r getting grounded by touching d connector so dis way it will b avoided, if dis too wnt work mayb d hardware/cable issue...be more carefull while inserting the pin into streaks port...

OK. Thank you again for your continued support. I tried the tape. Because I don't have the pins to puncture the tape, and because it slides into a slot almost like a video card, I could not get the cable to insert into the device. (That sounds confusing. I hope you understand.)
I am on the hunt for a cable to borrow. The problem is I'm in the USA. No one has a Dell Streak 5. AT&T doesn't keep any Dell Streak 5. BestBuy doesn't keep any Dell Streak5. I'll go during the day and ask the managers. If I appear to be a recurring customer they may call their distributors.
If it is the cord, I'll gladly buy a new one! If its the device I'll make due with it until I upgrade. I love my Dell Streak5.
It is so so cool!
Enjoy your day my technology guru friends.

Atrix 4G No Longer Charging

I have an Atrix 4G from ATT and it is not charging. It doesn't matter if I am using a wall charger (both stock and after market) or a USB cable connected to the computer. The only thing that happens is that if I am connected to a wall charger and restart my phone, it will come back on immediately, or when I plug it up when it has been off, its light will light up green for about 3 seconds, then go off.
If anyone has had this issue or might know what is going on, please let me know.
Thanks
Is your phone rooted? Are you using a custom rom?
If so, try erasing battery history and a full charge.
If this doesn't work, I guess you could be in the need for a new battery...
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
I have already had a new battery sent to me from Motorola, as with my old one, it would not charge and it had got to the point where it would not boot. The phone was bought from someone else and I don't know the history of the phone, but I don't believe it is rooted.
Thanks for your reply.
Have you tried a different cable? I realize you said you've tried just the USB, and two different wall chargers, but was it all with the same USB cable? I had the same issue, but it was the fault of the USB cable I was using.
I have tried several different cables, all of which I know are working (at least with my primary phone, HTC Aria). I have used three different USB Cables, both on the computer and with a USB Wall Adapter, and two wall chargers.
Also, I have wondered if it is a bad USB port, but I just have doubts if that is the cause. Could this be the reason, or does anyone else have any suggestions?
Thanks again for ALL the help so far, and any help that can be provided.
My USB wallcharger went bad. Got a new one off eBay (OEM) and everything works fine now.

Aria Cord
I've tried using cords ment for the Aria and Inspire/Desire with my Atrix and they never work right. Occasionally they'll work for a few min but i almost always have to go get my "Atrix" cord to do anything including charging at times. Oh, boyfriend just looked it up... it's the HTC wall plug that wont charge Motorola phones, not the cord fault. This might still help
*edit*
I'm not sure if what he read is really accurate. I remember having more issues with his cords (HTC) then what he just read.

I have looked at getting a new OEM charger, but I borrowed a charger from a friend, and this charger had a green tag on it that said EcoMoto, and I guessed that it was an OEM (but please correct me if I am wrong), and it still didn't work with the phone.
Thanks for all the replys.
I have gotten an external battery charger and I have gotten the battery charged to 100%. I have then tried with another USB cable, which still hasn't worked. I am looking at, as I have stated before, replacing the MicroUSB port. Does anyone think that this might be the reason for my issue, and does anyone has any tips for replacing the USB port?
Thanks for all the replays that I have gotten so far and any tips/suggestions that can be given to me.

Galaxy S4 won't charge.

Help! My Samsung Galaxy S4 won't charge or connect to a computer. I've tried different chargers, cables, plug in locations, car, 110, computer. There is no dirt. Connection is clean. I have a spare battery and both of them will charge on the battery charger. I have tried backed up roms. I have done a factory reset.
All of this and nothing helped. Am willing to try anything. Verizon is going to send me a refurb.
Help please.

Is there any indication of a connection being made? If not, you should just wait for the refurb. If you have rooted, I really doubt Verizon will honor the warranty on the broken phone. I wish you the best.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
sounds like contacts are on the phone side are damaged or the micro usb port is damaged.
Have you plugged into to a pc just to see if it can "see" the device and connect?
You stated it cannot connect to a pc, so i would suspect you have a bad micro usb port.
if you can connect, its not the port, and try taking an eraser and gently swabbing the contacts on the phone side.
also, make sure when you insert the battery there is an actual contact established. sometimes when pulling/pushing the battery in and out, those contacts sink further into the device and finally when you insert a batter the contact is very poor. you may need a tool or tweezer to just VERY, VERY GENTLY raise the contacts if they sunk in to far......but be careful not to pull too hard/much they can snap and you will probably void any warranty......

I am having the exact same problem. I have replaced the microUSB charging port on the phone and it still doesnt charge with the new port. I'm not sure what is going on. NEED HELP BIG TIME!!!
I'm having the same problem as well. It has been like that for bout a month or so now. I googled it and it seems to be a problem with the s3's and s4's. I'm not so worried about it as I have a spare battery charger and I have the wireless charging receiver on my s4 and it charges my phone just fine.
I had this exact problem I believe...tried several different chargers...everthing. Try turning the phone off and see if it takes a charge. When mine was off it would show a gray battery and vibrate every 5-10 seconds. I figured it was an issue with the charging/usb port but all of the sudden my phone started charging normally and is visible by a computer. Lasted for about 4 days and have been in the clear for about 3 days now. No clue what went wrong or why, but try what I mentioned above by charging with phone off for a half hour or so and see if it has charged at all. If you need a new USB port, not all GS4's have the same port, so you must get a verizon specific one (ebay). usually run about $20..or $65 installed at a phone fixing center. I didnt want to lose MDK, so I was prepared to just charge externally, but ended up not having to...yet
It happened to me also. I had some intermittent luck with blowing out the port with air from my air compressor. But in the end it just stopped working and Verizon sent me a refurbished one.
I Also have this problem!

Have you tried powering down your phone and seeing if that gray battery comes up and you get the vibrations (while plugged into charger)? You may need a new port, but since your under warranty, you could get a replacement unless you want to charge externally
S4 problem after update to 4.3
Hy,
I have a similar problem with my S4 (i9505), won't indicate if it is charging or connect to a computer, but while the charger is conected to S4, the battery level is increasing. When the battery is fully charged S4 is SHUTING DOWN!!!! And it wont start by pressing ON/OFF button, it will only start after I press Vol Down+Power, after goes to Download Mode and press Vol Down .
Tryed in many ways to fix:
- restore-
- hard reset
- changed te battery and charger
-i\ve changed even the usb port (flex cable) and =no results...
All problem started after update to 4.3.... and it is not an isolated case too many people complains about this 'awesome smartphone' with 'awesome issues' .
So, if anyone have any ideea how to solve this issues....
{Sorry for my bad english}
Had the same problem...lasted for about a day, I had to take a dry q-tip and clean the charger and the port where the phone charges and was able to get it working again. If you are rooted and are having issues go to amazon or ebay and get a wireless charger and it should take care of your problems as well

Ok....wireless charger...but what about syncing with the PC?
Now I have JB 4.3 , for a custom ROM I need to use usb cable to connect to PC, rigth?.
For me it is annoying, because I do not know for sure if this is caused by updatind to 4.3 or is a harware problem.
My wife's phone had this issue last night and this morning; charger or computer, it wouldn't charge. I turned it off, took out the battery, SIM and uSD card and put them all back in. After that it started charging again. I don't know if this will solve the problem long term, but so far it seems to have done the trick...

Lucky you...I did more than that, but no result in my case. I found on ''community.verizonwireless'' many more similar cases where ''customers support'' tried to avoid giving the answers for a real solution.
Well, our luck didn't hold. My wife's S4 wouldn't charge again last night. I tried another Samsung charger and a different cable but it wouldn't work either. When we left the house she tried it on the car charger and it worked great. Trying various other chargers we found that a kindle charger wouldn't work, but other third party chargers would. Even her PC USB port seems to work and she doesn't have the drivers loaded. For now she replaced the Samsung charger and cable that came with her phone for one that came as part of an accessory pack and it's happy again.
I have no idea what's going on with the thing. I asked one of the guys at the Samsung booth in Bestbuy and all he had to offer was reflashing the ROM or un-rooting it and doing a warranty exchange...

Can you check, please, if your new data cable has 4 or 5 pins(look to the side that connects to your phone )?
My first s4 done this. So I ended up with a replacement mdk phone after I figured out if you bend the lil piece in the charging port of your phone (not too much BTW) the charger will slide into the port as it's meant to.
Sorry I can't remember the tech term for that lil pin inside the charging port.

Help! My Samsung Galaxy S4 won't charge or connect to a computer. I've tried different chargers, cables, plug in locations, car, 110, computer. There is no dirt. Connection is clean. I have a spare battery and both of them will charge on the battery charger. I have tried backed up roms. I have done a factory reset.
All of this and nothing helped. Am willing to try anything. Verizon is going to send me a refurb.
Help please.

Just going to throw this out there....
I think the S4 is compatible with QI compliant wireless chargers. Amazon has some that are only $20... might be worth the purchase.... hell if I didn't have this tank of a case on I would buy it.

Thanks for your answer, but I already did that....I even changed the flex cable with charging port, no luck for me.....
I think this issue it is not hw problem because, look what I did today:
-I put a new Rom , so I used MIUI FOR I9505 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2306650
And now it behaves even stranger:
S4 is ON and wall charger is conected, (LED IT IS OFF but BATTERY IS BLINKING and is charging ) after battery level go up to 100% and disconect the charger, the LED STARTS TO LIGHT GREEN!!!!
So, now shows that is charging when charger is NOT connected?

Huh that's weird. How did you get miui to run on our phone? You've got the i545 right? I've been jonesing for miui ha.
As for the issue wish I could help you out...thought pushing that part would work
