Don't tell my employers, but I do like to keep my phone plugged into the works PC on the end of a USB lead. My old HTC Desire would charge up this way, as well as stay on, riing out etc etc.
My Galaxy S3 on the other hand seems to do odd things. When I connect it, the red LED comes on indicating that it is charging, but as soon as a call, or message notification come along, it stops charging, until the notification has been answered or at least acknowledged. Bearing in mind that I can't be at my desk all the time, that means that it could go a while before it gets to start charging again.
The same goes for leaving it connected to my PC overnight. One e-mail notification, and charging stops and next morning I have a near-flat battery as charging discontinued.
Is there any other way of getting more reliable trickle charging done whilst not having to turn the phone off, in the way that the old HTC Desire could do?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hmmm, sounds strange and more like an issue with Samsung's notification system.
Try disabling the notifications under Accessibility and see if it is still reproducable.

hello...i hope that someone can help me....when i try to turn off the device,it shut down and after few seconds reboot?why?
also simetime the phone don't turn on and on screen i see a green battery with a thermo....someon can help me?
Did you find the answer to this? i am sending my SGS2 back for replacement. i have the same errors plus the following.
Phone selects speaker rather than earpiece as default for incoming/outgoing calls
Phone on ocasions randomly starts Kies and Voice commands even if there is no physical contact with the phone
sometimes the phone defaults back to a launcher i have never seen before (it is not touchwiz) and i have no idea how to launch it without it doing it automatically.
The faults you mentioned can be bypassed with a battery pull but they are annoying, I didn't have these problems until i upgraded my firmware through Kies to KE7.
I have an O2 branded device.

Exactly the same to me
How do you flash congnition? just over the stock rom with odin?
did you flash modem?
Absolutely same here, since coming from CM7 to VillainRom.
Never had that before.
I´m waiting and watching it and your results!
Thanks for this thread.
That's why I don't root the phone..it works fine.

This has nothing to do with root access.
I cannot believe that any problem related just because you have access to your system.
Back to topic, flashed back to cm but problem persists.
It's getting really bad near to flashing stock and bring it back to change device if someone knows what it is could be helpful.
I also have this problem. I think it has something to do with the usb port.
Because sometimes it just scans for media, or it thinks it is charging. Really weird! Then i just put in the charger and it stops for a while. Turning off will just reboot the device. And removing battery and plugging it back it also just reboots the phone.
I hope it is not hardware related...
I was looking for help for a problem I have but this seems to cover most of the problems I'm having.
Mine has recently started going into a strange mode after shutting it down. I get the battery charging symbol alternating with the "battery overheating" symbol.
The only way to stop it is to remove the battery for at least a couple of hours (if you put it straight back in it automaticly starts up and goes back to flashing the battery warnings) or pressing Power, Vol+ and Home and choosing Reboot.
I have also noticed its very slow to respond to plugging the charger in or out. It doesn't always wake-up and bleep when the charger is put in and it stays showing its charging for some time after the charger has been removed.
I was told that the charger should be removed as soon as charging is compleated but surely overnight is the only time we have available to charge these phones!
Depending on the custom rom or kernel you are using, it might not support off mode charging.
To avoid having a "problem" with charging the phone in off mode, some developers decided to make the phone boot up when the phone is been charged when the phone is off.
Going back to an official stock ROM fixes this problem.

As for Cyanogen, since built 23, you can charge the phone when it is in the "off" state. Please wipe out your userdata partition before flashing. Do not restore from a previous backup.
I fixed my reboot problem (rebooting instead of turning off) by letting the battery drain all the way so it couldn't boot anymore. Tried turning it on to see if it really doesn't go on anymore. After that I plugged in the charger and I got the charging-symbol and it did not turn on so I kept it charging overnight while turned off and in the morning it was finished and turned it on.
I also cleaned the usb-port on the phone with a toothpick. It had alot of dust stuck in it which I couldn't see. After that no more problems...for now. They haven't returned for 2 days now.

What kernel and rom are you using? I have not seen the battery overheating symbol on the sgs2.
No, there is no need to remove the phone from charger, when the phone gets to what is considered full, the battery will stop charging by itself.
Are you using the original samsung charger that came with the phone, or are you using a after market charger? Most of these USB chargers do not send a signal on the data lines. When using these chargers, the phone becomes laggy and unresponsive, there is also a delay to register anything on the touch screen. Stay away from these chargers.
For lithium batteries just charge it whenever you feel like it. Lithium batteries have a few thousand deep charge cycles, meaning if you use up all the power, then charge it,you use 1 deep charge cycle. However, if you use the micro cycles for charging, you can charge the batteries a few million times. Leaving the battery on empty for too long will damage the lithium battery.
Can any one confirm if this is a hardware or software issue as i now have the problem when i try and switch the phone off it will just reboot?
The Same issue occurs in my sgs2
hi everybody,
i just got my sgs2 ten days ago
everything seems good at first
then i realized screen standby lock lag problem, there exist a lag between 1 second to 2.5 seconds.
i ignore that due to it cannot be named as a problem, it seems like a bad characteristic
then yesterday , i have faced with another problem
after i have docked the phone to the original vehicle dock kit,
phone cannot be closed via power button , i hold it 1.5 seconds then chose turn off among list, phone looks like to be turned off then after a little while it just vibrates and reboots. That is phone cannot be turned off, it s somehow turn itself on again.
Whats the reason of this problem ?
In another forum one faced with the same problem said that it turned out to be normal when the battery is erased but the problem is occured again after docking.
micro usb connector
I droped my phone in the water, got it alive again, but with all the error(overheat battery symbol, no stable usb connection, reboot when i power off, 100% charged not going away) replaced the micro usb connector with a new one.
Some problems are gone but i still can't connect to pc (kies, debug etc), poweroff problem still happen sometime.
Conclusion: It is not only the usb part of the phone that are causing this problem.
But I do belive its a hardware problem.
Have you phone maybe got to much to drink too..
usb port???
I've recently been experiencing the same problem
When I turned off my phone it switched on again!
And removing battery and plugging it back it also just reboots the phone.
Sometimes the USB connector and charger are confused
Do solved the problem by changing the USB port?
plz help me
Thank you in advance for helping me
This is definately a hardware issue. Clean the usb connector, failing that it will need replacing

Hey everyone! So my phone started doing this really odd thing today...it'll charge, orange light is on...and then poof, light turns off and it stops charging. Sometimes it'll do it in 5 mins, sometimes it won't do it at all. Any idea what could be going on? If I remove the USB and then plug it right back in, it'll start charging every time.

If it's a wall charger - bad charger
If PC then PC is turning off USB
Or it could simply be a bad battery or charging circuit in phone.
Try different ways of charging to narrow it down

is this an OEM cord and charger? i know when i bought a cheap knock off cord and charger from ebay for my INC it did the same thing. I send it back and the seller sent me a new one but when i had it plugged in the screen because unresponsive couldnt touch a thing till i unpluged it. ended up just buying and OEM one from htc.
I've tried different cords and chargers, I think the phone is crapping out. Now it won't go into vibrate mode and it keeps auto docking even though I don't tell it to....sigh.

That sounds like a problem with the port. I've had the same problem on a different phone in the past. Try cleaning the port if you can. Otherwise, just call for a replacement.
I started seeing a "Slow Charge" notification yesterday saying that I should plug in a genuine HTC charger to optimize the charging time. I normally charge the phone at my PC using a USB docking station and have done this since the phone was new in April without ever getting this notification. Despite the notification, it still seems to charge fine though, although it might be imperceptibly slower, I didn't really test it. I did test with a wall charger and the notification went away (it wasn't the HTC charger), so at least it is checking for something.
I am charging the phone at work today (also through USB/computer) and get the same message, so it isn't just the home setup.
A couple theories that someone might be able to shoot down for me:
I accidentally ran my phone completely out on Saturday, would that have triggered anything? Maybe the battery needs a few cycles now that it has been fully* discharged?
The phone has been fairly warm when plugging in the last couple days (new game ), would that trigger this? It wasn't warm every time though and the notification is still there.
Unlikely, but was there a change with the 4.3 update that might effect this?
*The phone shut off, but I assume that didn't damage the battery since the phone did an automatic/controlled shutdown at 1% or so to go.
USB charges at 100mA and can ramp up to 500mA. The wall charger is 1A and will therefore charge significantly faster. Neither is an issue, but my HTC One has a tendency to see any non-charger as a USB port and therefore slow the charging. Only real problem is driving with GPS running.

Thanks.
Like I said, it hasn't been a problem, I don't even notice the difference in time to charge, it is just that it is new. And after 6+ months of ownership, something new randomly appearing is weird.
It is currently charging in the same port and doesn't have the notification by the way, so it appears random. Go figure.
I agree that it appears randomly. I'm not a fan of this 'feature' that HTC built in. I'm still looking to find out what HTC's threshold is the activates the notification and the slow charge mode. The only charger that this concerns me on is my car charger, but I haven't received the message lately. I also have not used my GPS on a long trip in a while.
Same issue "Slow Charge" notification + No PC connection
I also purchased my phone in April. Just recently (month or so) my phone is now giving me the "slow charge" notification. Also, I can no longer connect to ANY computer. I have tried 6+ computers and none of them recognize the phone. The phone doesn't seem to notice it is plugged in to a USB port either. I have tried toggling the Developer Options and USB debugging without any change. There doesn't seem to be much info on the internet regarding this issue, but the ones that I do find seem to be similar to my issue. This seemed to happen after the 4.3 update.
Are you also having problems with accessing your phone storage when connected to a computer? Thanks.

Hi bigpile,
Did you find a solution for this? It now happens to me too (slow charger notification and no usb debugging).
Same issue..
My HTC just started doing that. Tried all the usb ports on my pc it comes up with a "slow charge" message but if I plug it into a wall charger (a Nokia micro usb on in fact) it works fine.
Main concern is that the phone will no longer come up under "My Computer"
I can charge it fine using the wall charger but it just doesn't want to work through my usb port on the pc (I have tried changing the cable same issue)
I have a stock ATT HTC One that seems to have a ghost in it. I received this unit with a completely dead battery and after charging several days it finally started. The battery only showed about 30% charge but it was enough for me to install and test a sim card. Everything worked fine so I shut it down and forgot about it. Recently I picked it up again and charged it. I have it showing 83% on the battery but it will shut down within a minute of reaching the lock screen after start up. It does this no matter what I am doing with the phone. I tried plugging it in to my computer USB and it immediately shuts down and won't restart until I unplug it. Before this when it was working it would show a discharge status once it was plugged in to USB but my computer would recognize it and the phone recognized my computer. If I turned off the phone while plugged in it would flash the red LED and then it would glow steadily until it was unplugged. A battery check indicated that the battery was taking a charge at this time I would really appreciate any direction or suggestions as to what to try yo fix this
Thanks in advance and I really want to thank everyone who does all the great work here.

I have only read one other issue like this and it ended in the phone being sent back to HTC, the partition table was corrupt if i remember right.

Hi, I saw your problem with your HTC One and it's the same problem that I'm having. Can you tell me the cable and charger you used to charge your phone? I've had it plugged in for 12 hours now and all it does is flash the red led. what does the led look like when it's actually charging? I'm suspecting that i'm using the wrong usb cable and charger.
Thanks,
It's supposed to be solid red when charging. Solid green when fully charged

Hello everyone,
I have an HTC One m7 that's been working perfectly, yesterday i charged it in my car with a normal car charger, after 20 minutes i came back home & plugged it with the wall charger, so it just didn't charge, i tried to connect it with my Mac, still the phone didn't recognize any usb data cable has been connected, changed the charger & cable, same issue, so i turned off the phone, then it started charging in a weird way, a red led with a battery notification appeared, after around 3 seconds it goes off then a dull orange led with a percentage battery appears, then it just goes off with nothing on the screen, & again same thing each time every around 10 to 12 second. So i backed up all my data via WiFi data transfer app after i left it to charge as is overnight, & then i hard reset my HTC One, after it's been formatted, it didn't charge, but even worse, it stopped even charging when it's turned off.
Please help me with some advise
Thx in advance
