I have read up in the forums, haven't found my issue. I am pretty sure my phone may have shorted on a cheap car charger. I say this because two days previous, my phone showed a caution sign and that I should use the proper charger.
I unplugged phone, went into work, worked on the car charger fine, but then when I took it off I guess it decided to die. Also, I got an ATT go phone, ZTE. Just for the time being. When I plugged it into the car charger it immediately flickered then restarted. Car charger is thrown away.
My HTC one can be "heard" when plugged into computer, but nothing seen. It also has NFC working/has power, touched to my nexus 7 gives the sound.
Is there anything I can do to fix it? Right now I'm waiting for the phone to die completely (no computer noise or NFC) and then maybe? On the proper charger, no red light is shown on led. Do I have the faulty USB port? I will be getting the M9 when it is available, just be nice to have my trusty M7 back. Thanks for any help.

Hello everyone,
I have my 32GB TF201 with docking that I purchased 3 weeks ago. After I purchased I was able to charge my table directly thru outlet twice and once thru the dock. This week the tablet ran out of battery. I plugged it to the outlet with an empty battery and yellowish light was on. In the morning (after 6 hours of charging) I checked and the light was still yellowish. I said 'what the hell' and left home for work. When I came back I checked and saw that the battery was only charged to ~9%. I re-checked the outlet and it was not charging. The battery icon appears when I plug the cable but the status is 'Not charging' and it actually is not charging. I could then charge the dock thru the same outlet and usb cable up to 100%. I also could charge the tablet thru the dock's battery. the only problem is between the charger and the tablet itself. I will still take it to the service but I can still listen to ideas to check in the weekend.
Thanks a lot.
You probably have a busted charge port on the tablet itself. Try plugging the tablet to the computer and see if it registers. If not, more than likely the charge port on the tablet is broken.

that was the one thing I did not check and I will today. but the tablet is being charged from the dock that is connected thru the same port.
I am having the same no charging issue, but I do not have a dock. The device recognizes the computer just fine when I plug into that, but into the wall, I get nothing. Even when connected to the computer, all the connection info pops up (usb debugging, asus sync, etc) but it does not charge. Problem started this morning.

Okay, I first had this issue last night. Unplugging and plugging it back in fixed it at the time. Then this morning, I couldn't get it to charge at all (replugging it in multiple times) via AC or USB (though it did recognize the other USB things like it should). I managed to find a dock in stock nearby finally and picked one up today. Plugging the tablet into the dock charges off the dock like it should, and plugging in the dock charges it like it should. Now, miraculously, when I unplug the tablet from the dock and plug it back into the wall via AC, it works again.
So, don't know what exactly the issue is, or how exactly to fix it, but at least it seems to have fixed itself for the moment. And, now I have the dock if this happens again
hey there. i took the tablet to the service but to my luck the unit is flagged as 'defective on arrival' and I had to return it. I guess it was a ahrdware issue. I could not take a new one since the reseller was out of stock of TF-201. I am waiting for it to become available.
Wow - my tablet would not charge at all last night as I ran out of battery. I tried all the outlets in my hotel room and my PC, but it just seemed like the charge port was dead. I noticed that the trim around the charge port was a bit deformed, so the plastic part that abuts the bezel was not straight.
Anyways - I get to the office this morning and plug it in and now its charging - whew! This is eventually going for RMA since the HDMI is completely dead, and now it does seem the charge port is a bit loose. I am concerned it will happen again just when I need it!
Very frustrated with the quality issues - it's just harshin' my buzz with this tablet.
I've switched through three different primes (with issues unrelated to this) but I seem to notice that all of the chargers are like this. It seems like a security feature or bug (not sure) but if you keep the charger plugged into the outlet, it auto shuts off the charging adapter after being plugged in for a prolong period of time. If you take the charger out, leave it unplugged for an hour or two, then plug it back in. It will work again. All three of the primes I got do this. So I just remember to unplug the charger and don't leave it plugged in and the issue doesn't seem to happen anymore.
btw just a heads up:
- USB won't charge on computers unless your usb port is usb 3.0. If your usb is 2.0 it will only charge on idle (which you won't be able to tell really)
- Dock won't charge the tablet unless the tablet runs around 75% battery (sometimes higher sometimes lower) its in the FAQ

This is the exact replication of what's occurring with my TF201 with the exception that it is still not charging directly plugged into the tablet after I remove from the dock.
weird trick
I think this might be due to how some devices recognize power, i have the same issue with my iPod touch. I found that if you take the charger wire with adapter attached and plug that into the tab, then plug that into the wall it should normally work. My brother was having this issue also with his dock not charging, and this method makes it work.
Well, called ASUS support and got an RMA to send it in. Apparently something's wrong.
For the past couple of days I've been having problems with my phone charging. When my phone is plugged in, it will go from recognizing the cord to not recognizing the cord if I move it at all. Even with the phone plugged in, sometimes it will still not charge even with the charging symbol on in the ROM. I left my phone to charge for about 8 hours last night, LED on and ROM saying it was charging, but I woke up to a 0% battery. I did a little bit of searching and found a micro-usb cord lying around, so I plugged it in (the kind that doesn't fit quite right). I'm able to get the charging LED to come on, albeit inconsistently. I'm not sure if my usb port is broken, my ROM, or I just need a new and correctly fitting cord. Is there a way I can find out? If it matters I'm running Counter-Shrike v3.1 if it matters any.
I recently purchased a Nokia DT-900 Wireless Charging Plate for my Lumia 920, but unfortunately something seems to be going wrong. I tried it the other night, put my phone on the charging plate, the light came on solid and the phone showed it was charging. Woke up the next morning and it hadn't charged at all, the battery went from 80%+ to about 62%. I tried various different "solutions" yesterday with no luck.
Restarted my Lumia 920 several times.
Unplugged the charger and tried a different outlet.
Shifted my phone around trying various positions.
Double checked that it still charges on a regular wired charger (works).
Doesn't seem to matter what I try, it just wont work, even though both the phone and the charger say it's charging. Unfortunately, I don't currently have access to another wireless charger or another wireless charging capable device. I'm hoping to get into AT&T this weekend and see if they have wireless chargers to test with. Does anyone have any other ideas or tips to resolve the issue, or know which one in this scenario most likely has the problem? I really hope it's not the phone. :/
It's really not picky as to where you place the phone on the charger plate. It does sound like a hardware issue. Could be the plate or the phone either one. Good luck on getting it resolved.
I've had that happen. I usually do the soft-reset with Vol-Down & Power, then connect to wired charging. It's some strange state that it seems to get into occasionally.

So after you do the soft-reset, and you plug into a wired charger, do you switch to the wireless charger, or wait till later in the day or anything?

I too had this problem after getting a replacement for my speaker not working, and didn't get the wireless charging issue until my fourteen day
exchange policy was up. So I actually separated my phone to have a look. At the top if the wireless charging coil there are gold contacts that can become loose if the phone is rocked heavily, either dropped or in my case, while still in my pocket at work. I actually very carefully and slightly bent those contacts up towards the phone, then replaced it in the housing. Once I did, I tested to see if the wireless charging worked before putting the screws back in. If all else fails, I'd give that a try bud.

I usually just let it charge for a while on the wired charger, then use wireless sometime later. Once it gets out of the reset loop, I think any charger will work.
My replacement from Amazon arrived today, and unfortunately still no luck with getting my phone to charge. So I'll test out fixing the coil over the weekend.

So I opened my Lumia 920 up today, and unfortunately it looks like two of the 4 little gold contacts are missing. I've got all 4 primary pieces, but only 2 of the actual contacts. I've got a feeling that that's what caused the issue. Think I'll try to send it in for a replacement.
Hey all,
I run a P760 with stock JB rooted. I also tried out PACMAN before on the phone, but came back to stock.
One day, when I plugged in the charger of my phone (wall), the phone went off and could not turn it on again until I took the cable out of the phone. The behavior is the same when plugging it in USB. The strange thing is that the phone, while off, charges and runs normally otherwise.
Also, if I plug in the cable without connecting it to the computer, the phone does not turn off.
Anybody knows why this happens?
Thanks!
I was having the same problem with this phone. After searching around on the Nexus forums, somebody mentioned the charging port was bent. Somebody also mentioned that the pins connecting the battery to the logic board were also at fault.
I recently purchased an aftermarket replacement battery, so I thought it might be the latter.
Here's how I fixed it: I took a tiny screwdriver and straightened the charging port connector slightly. I also pulled the battery out and pulled on the connectors near the physical battery a tiny bit with some tweezers (be careful not to rip them out!)
After doing both of these, I plugged my phone in and it stayed on.
Hope this helps.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 which is 3 months old. I was able to fully charge my phone last night as usual with no problems.
However, earlier today I was trying to transfer files from my phone to my laptop using the USB cable, and it came up with a message saying that the USB is not recognized and/or malfunctioning. This was weird because this is the same cable I've been using for months with no problems.
Later, my phone was running low on battery and I tried charging it, but I got the following message:
"The connected charger is incompatible with this phone. To prevent damage to your phone, charging has been stopped. To continue charging, use the original charger and cable that were provided with the phone."
Again, same charger that I've been using for months. My phone is now dead and if I try to turn it on the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo flashes once before the screen goes blank. Also, if I try to charge my phone either with USB or with a wall socket, my phone doesn't seem to be charging but instead vibrates once every three seconds. I have tried my friends' chargers and I have the same vibrating problem. Does anyone have any advice?
Do you know anyone else with an s4? Make sure you can turn your phone on with their charged battery. Sounds like the USB port on your phone got something in it or got damaged somehow. Apparently the USB assembly is pretty easy to replace if it is damage, but no guarantees on that being the issue. As a temporary solution you can get an aftermarket battery and external charger. Anker is cheap and reliable
