It's been about a week now that my XTZ on 4.3 is experiencing slow charging and gets very hot in the back close to the mini usb charging port.
Im using the stock charger which works perfectly with my Xperia ZL phone.
When I use my tablet and its plugged to the chafer I get a message saying that the tablet isn't charging fast enough to please connect to another charging method (or something like that)
If I power it off it gets stuck and frozen on with Powering off message for about 30 seconds before it shuts off. Powering it back on, makes it work fine for a while, then same problem.
Anyone experienced this before?
Yeah with stock charger it's slow if you have another charger you can try I have a Samsung USB plug it charges quicker
And the slow shutdown it's a normal 4.3 bug

How slow it charges? Disable DayDream, if you have it enabled. The screen on consumes too much battery, making it charge REALLY slow...

Hi,
I have this new problem for a couple of weeks now. My X10 mini will not charge when switched on.
The problem coincides with the time I started using my Laptop to charge my X10 mini.
It occasionally starts charging while switched on, but stops after few minutes. I am forced to switch off the phone to charge it properly.
At present it charges when connected to my laptop, even when it is switched on.
Can anyone please guide me to fix this problem.
I have rooted the device.
If there is a shell command, that I can run to kick start the charging, I shall do it too...
Thank you.

Need Help with Charging when Phone is On
There should be some program that is triggered when on connecting the Charger while the phone is switched off, that is not auto triggered when the Phone is switched On.
If I switch on the phone while it is charging, the charging continues.
Does anyone know of a fix to this yet?
Thanks,

The phone detects if a charge is coming in, whether it's turned on or off. The only thing is that charging via USB (through a computer) is not as reliable as charging through the grid, using the wall-charger. Charging with the wall-charger is the preferred option.

I am plugged into the wall socket charger when I face this problem.
So how to solve this? Is there some changes I can do to a script file so that the program for charging kicks in as is required when the phone is connected to the charger?
Please help.

I've seen this thing on my own phone when the battery was too low. Don't let it go below 10% and only charge it with the wall-charger. The only time my phone is connected to my computer is when i want to change a rom or kernel, and only for a couple of minutes. In any case, i recharge it when it comes down to around 20% (say between 15 and 20), and only using the wall-charger and i do not see that problem anymore.

Hi,
Just thought I'd update.
I generally plug into the charger, once the battery reaches low (when the battery bar turns RED, 15 - 20 %).
And I always use the Wall Socket charger, as the charging is quicker. (I used the PC when I suspected the Charger Adapter)
And what I see is, though the charger is connected, and the tiny LED glows Orange (charge > 10%) or Red (Charge <=10%), the battery icon shows the charging symbol for a moment and then returns to discharge.
Same thing happens even if I disconnect the charger (MicroUSB end) and connect again.
If I shutdown the phone, the phone boots up and enters the charging mode.
Now if I switch on the phone, the charging continues.
I have even changed the Battery to try fix this, with no effect.
I understand that I'll have to charge it going forward before the charge gets below 20%. I shall do that.
But I still want to fix this problem where I don't want to be forced to restart the phone every day just to trigger the charging.
Please help.

About the having to reboot to get the charging going, you can't fix that yourself, but hopefully it goes away. I've had that same issue where is stopped charging after a couple of seconds, but when i got my battery back up to somewhat normal, that issue disappeared by itself.
I posted this question on my thread regarding heat issue and nobody answered this new question I had anyway:
I turned my phone off when I noticed that it was hot and I left it plugged in usb port on laptop.
and as you know the next morning I couldn't the phone on unless I took the battery out (the battery meter was like 0 percent when I saw the phone really hot and turned it off)
this time it happened again, the not turning on part. I turned the phone off at 4% battery. went to charge using usb on my laptop. the battery charging animation came on and i let it be. a few minutes later I tired to turn the phone on and nothing happened. I took the battery out and put it back in and plugged it in the usb on my laptop. the charging animation came on and this time i was able to turn the phone on.
does usb on laptop not provide enough power to charge the phone when the battery is too low?
or was it my rom thats causing it? im currently using resurrection remix pre JB 3,01

If you turn off the phone while charging from your computers USB port there will be enough current, it will just take more time to charge. If you need faster charging I suggest you use the AC adapter.
All that aside it's getting too hot fella, my SGSII doesn't get warm at all, im running omega v14 ICS. No issues at all.

Hello,
Im having problem with charging My xperia z2
Recently I tried using magnetic charger for first time but it wasn't charging at all and phone started getting more heat so I removed it and got back to USB normal charging but now its not working as usual... when I connect usb charger phone showing charging symbol and red light on but its not charging at all, turned off phone and tried charging while phone off still same ..getting red light on and charging bar in the middle of screen and phone stuck on same percentage and goes down slowly even it keeps screen on charging bar after I unplug the charger !?!
I tried hard reset using power button and vol+ afew times some of the tries worked and phone charged normally but after i plug the usb charger again problem gets back ... so i keep resetting phone many times till i get lucky and charge normally
Also tried factory reset and flashing new stock ... still same
I don't know but i have feel that magnetic port causing problems for battery even i didn't use magnetic charger again
and i read somewhere it might be possible to disable magnetic port?
any idea?
help would be appreciated
any help?
When you connected the magnetic charger first time, have you connected it in the correct way? If it is connected upside down, it ll cause serious issues..
LikeTh3DON said, you probably connected your magnetic charger in the wrong side. I've done the same with my D6503, and I have the same issue. I already looked to change the battery, nothing change, it's a chip on the motherboard I think.
Look on that thread, some users have the same issue, no solution so far:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2745786&page=3
If you can, use sony's usb cable and charger, or a usb port on your laptop, don't know if it's related, but my phone charge easier with those. If it's the same issue than mine, your phone will charge to 85-90% and the screen will constantly goes on. When it happen unplug your phone or it will heat a lot without charging.
Same thing accidently done with me.now phone dsnt charging with megnatic cable(charging on and off regularly) nd with USB its have same problem when battery % reaches above 90.
Please give me solution..
Is that repair is available for this issue?

Hey,
I haven't necessarily got a solution for your problem but thought I can offer you my opinion. I've used solely the magnetic charger for nearly a year as my USB port has clean snapped off from my logic board. The whole time I've not had an issue, the only time the device heats is during intensive games or/whilst charging.
I know that people have had issues with the magnetic charging port in the past, it's a relatively easy fix, however, will involve opening the device and stripping out a lot of the parts to get to the ribbon.... up to you what you want to do.
Guess I should ask the obvious, have you tried different cabled/ chargers etc?? the fault could potentially lie with the cables if they've been damaged/frayed.
My Tab has an issue when I plug in a fast charger (also counting the included fast charger). It'll say fast charging on the lock screen, and the screen will go off as normal. The screen turns back on shortly, again giving that charging beep, says fast charging, and the screen turns off again. Does the same thing again, a few more times. It eventually stops turning the screen on and off again. The charger also gets very, very hot, to the point where I think it killed the included USB c cable.
Any idea why this is happening? Thanks.
Sooo
Since Ive had it, as long as I remember My Z2 wouldnt properly charge via usb, common but that it wont charge over 85 percent, after that its just sort of "twitching", the charging light keeps blinking like it keeps getting disconnected, regardless of cable/charger. It would still connect OK to PC while constantly blinking, without disconnects. Latest stock rom. Also, Offline charging never worked, it would always boot when plugged in while powered off.
SO, I used a magnetic charger, and that worked fine, no blinking, 100%, until i believe the cable broke. So I went and thought I will try a custom Rom, seems like a software Issue maybe.
Now, on Resurrection Remix, even at low charge, it keeps blinking like crazy, like it keeps getting plugged in, screen wakes all the time, and so it loses charge while plugged in. Tried the QC 2 fast charging kernel mod, but no change. It just keeps alternating between charging and charging slowly, constantly waking the device.
Right now, the only way to add charge is to offline charge, powered off plugged in via usb it works fine
Using the original charger and cable that came with the phone, but its the same with others too. Anybody have a solution?
