Hello there.
I bought a xperia z2 to replace my lg g3 . The phone is great. At the box it had a ep880 charger which not only was ugly but it was charging my phone slow (compared to my g3 at least).
I decided to buy a better charger and i bought the samsung EP-TA20EWE . The problem is that the phone is not charging with this charger at all.
I tested it at other devices and the charger works great. I replaced the usb cable and still nothing.
The phone charges fine either with its own charger or if i connect it to a computer.
Is there any idea why is this happening ??
PS. i do not own the official usb cable of samsung's charger, dont know if that matters..
Just use the Sony charger. Xperias are very very picky about chargers.
That is what i am doing. But i was really curious about why is this happening

Hi,
i just went thru my second charger and I noticed whenever i plug a charger into my phone, my phone goes crazy. all the menu starts sliding in and out and all the apps starts opening up.
I have no idea what's going on, it just goes crazy!
when i use the USB charger that came with the phone it's fine. But I don't feel like carrying an adapter where ever i go.
does anyone have this problem with 3rd party chargers?
thanks
same problem with HTC HD2, some iPhones,Samsung Corby,... I think that the problem is in capacitive screen and some chargers.
I bought on e-bay USB travel charger for Blackberry Bold 9700 (original and not generic) with extra long cord. Works perfectly with mini pro
I bought a OEM Milestone charger before and I had the same problem.
So i tried X10 generic.
I can't find a OEM X10 charger that is for US.

this one is good quality (original blackberry), and works perfectly with X10 mini/pro. As a plus it has an extra-long shielded cord.

i have the exact same problem and i use the original charger that came with my mini pro.
hi
I am having the same problem but i know the solution and reason. these low quality chargers provide higher voltage than current and hence the problem. You should go for a high quality branded charger. I am using my old hp-ipaq charger with usb data cable for this phone and it works fine. i have also used the same cable with car usb charger from dealextreme and it works fine. Only the cheap ones will give this problem. Also i use that problem charger in case of emergency but i switch of my mobile first. It charges my mobile faster and i believe it will shorten the life of my battery.
I have the same problem with cheap chargers and cables from ebay, but the original charger and cable from SE does not give me any trouble.
I got this from dealextreme and it works great!

adapter?
is it the original wall charger and the usb data cable.?
i too had a problem with an ordinary usb data cable. it charges so sloow. like 1%/20 minutes.
better use the original accesories if its the original one and defective better return it for replacement.
It's probably a cabel problem. Charging occurs only when pins AC and Ground (1 and 5 AFAIK) are both connected, and often some of the pins stop working. If it's not a kernel of power supply problem (Which it probably isn't), it will be solved by simply changing the cable. Or if the cable works in usb charging, buy a new adapter (Make sure it's 5V before buying).
I had the original charger, then broke it...
I bought an USB to replace that(the connector was messed up)... but that charged slow, and discharge when using...(still on the original charger, but another cable)
For 2 months, I borrowed galaxy chargers, and any other friends with cables like mine, I asked them for the charger...
Then, I decided this must stop! I told my mom to find me a galaxy s charger (she was noob, doesn't know I can charge from non-lg cables)...
She found me one, and all fine...
But, before trying to buy one of those, go to a friend with a charger that fits Optimus one, and try it, if it charges faster, then buy a new charger

my mothers camera does not charge with a usb cable while when I put the cable in the camera the charge button is on.
I did not know there are still differences in USB cables ...

Our stock charger uses a wall "adapter" and an usb cable... it charges from usb, but the chargers that have no adapter (you can't remove the usb from it), charge lot better, I recommend using one of those... any samsung charger that "fits" in our phone is better than stock charger
In mine it charges rarely ! i had lg normal charger but it stops charging if i lift the cell nd use it! den took my moms samsung pop charger ..it worked fine for few weeks den again same problem arised :-S

I lost mine. I bought 2 for one deal from ebay (noname cables) and they wont charge 30% during al night. So i told them it's faulty and they sent 2 another one. still no charge so i bought an htc one wich seems a bit better, but still not like the original. My friends lg optimus 3d cable was charged it full from ~70% in about 30 mins. His another htc cable was worked fine.
I have been googling the issue but can't find any good answers.
I recently bought an Xperia Sola, but it won't charge from any of my car chargers.
Please note that I have systematically tried to eliminate error sources:
I have 4 different model of car chargers (I have two of a few of them, in total I have 6 USB car chargers), in 3 of them I have soldered to short D+ and D- to make my old HTC Hero use more than 500 mA (chargers can give 1 A or more). The model without the short can only give 500 mA so I haven't modified it.
Now, all four chargers will without problems charge the following devices: My old HTC Hero, my old Zen Vision: M, my daughters ZTE Blade, my sons X10 Mini Pro and my kids iPads. So, the chargers are working, the micro-USB cable works with the Blade and X10 Mini Pro (the Hero, the Zen and the iPads don't have micro-USB).
But my Sola won't even recognize it's connected to a charger.
But the Sola charges fine with half a dozen different wall socket chargers, as well as from the PC USB port and a solar cell battery pack I have.
But not any single of the car chargers I have tried...
So, what does the Sola expect from the car charger that the chargers I have are missing?? I bought car chargers with a USB port to be able to use them for all our stuff that can charger from USB with just different cables, it would really suck to have to buy yet another car charger that will have to be dedicated to the Sola...
I have the same problem! I have USB car charger from DX and it works great on Desire HD and Samsung Galaxy Mini. But Xperia Sola doesn't want even start charging!
Have you tried a car to usb adapter and then use the original cable that comes in the box for the Sola?

I didn't try with Xperia's USB cable. I don't think that the cable can make any difference.
But I also tryed original charger from my Garmin Nuvi 205w and also it can not charge Xperia Sola.
I have tried both the original cable and half a dozen other cables. They all work with the wall chargers as well as the USB solar cell battery pack. But not with any of the car chargers...
Luckily I can use my old HTC Hero (running CoPilot) as a GPS in the car. But it would be nice to be able to charge the Sola in the car too... Now I have to charge the USB solar cell battery pack from the car and then the phone from the battery pack. Not a very neat solution.
I had the same problem with my Sola. Then I bought original Sony Ericsson charger and it works now.
Try this one: Sony Ericsson Micro USB Car Charger AN401 (1200mA, price 12EUR)

From my post: "it would really suck to have to buy yet another car charger that will have to be dedicated to the Sola..."
I had the same problem: when I connected the USB cable to the 700mA car charger, the orange LED on Sola blinked and it didn't charge.
Now I am using a 1000mA car charger and up to now it seems to work fine.

Interesting, since my 1000 mA chargers don't work... I wonder what the difference is...

I know this isn't the thread for my device but it's still a sony and I'm just trying to help. My xperia m charges fine when connected to a computer. As an experiment, I slipped a bit of paper between the two inside pins on the computer side(D+ and D-). No charging in xperia m, but charging in Galaxy mini. Is this a software limitation or hardware limitation. I am guessing hardware.
Old thread, but I finally bought a Sony charger and it works. Still can't understand why the other ones didn't. At least now I am able to charge my phone in the car.

Could you share with me the charger? I've made myself homemade charger from 4AA bateries it works with all other devices except my Xperia L(Might be the same problem)
If I recall correct it's called AN401 or AN402 (I think they are the same charger, only different cable).
Turns out, Sony implemented restrictions in the kernel. Google something called float charging, of you're interested.

Tablet is a rooted Verizon Xperia Z2.
If it's powered on it will not charge with original stock USB charger or a generic magnetic dock charger.
If I turn it off it charges perfectly with either charger.
What could be wrong?
Try Ampere app to see what's the tablet measuring!
I just bought an ebay refurb Z2 and mine won't charge with the usb or magnetic cable unless it's totally shut down. Won't even charge in standby mode with the screen off. Did you find a solution?

Had the same problem on KitKat 4.4.4., but after flashing Lollipop 5.1.1. It worked....
Hmmm, with my own cable (not original) I had the same problem in the past.
But when I used the original Sony cable, it worked well. !?!?!?
I just bought this wireless charger for my S20+ and my buds+, but when i plug the charger than came with my S20+ it just won't work. It didn't come with a cable or charger.
When i plug my 5 year old Sony charger, then the led blinks and it works and charges my S20+ or Buds+ wirelessly.
How can it work with a crappy charger and not with the brand new official one? Im pretty sure it is compatible with Samsung fast charger. Should I contact the store to replace it? Is this malfunction?
Also, I believe that charging with the regular Sony charger plugged to the wireless will take longer than the Samsung fast charger in the wireless, right?
If your 20+ came with the Superfast power brick charger, chances are the wireless charger is not compatible with your power brick they do work with a standard Samsung Fast Charger and any standard power brick but only slow charging
you can test this by seeing if you can borrow one from a friend
What is the problem guys>/
