the other day my phone feel of the couch while pluggd into the pc. it stopped chargibg and woukd not connext to pc.
i lost the original cable so ive been using a mini to micro usb adapter for an old cable i had for my g1 which hss worked perfectly.
thought i had broke the sockey on thr phone. had a tmobile shop check it with there cable. it was fine. so boyght a microusb cable.
everything seemed fine. charge light. usb drive worked internet tether. but then the phone ran out of battety while usb tethering. it always stays at 100% before.
with the battery low it woukf rrstart every minute whole plugged into original chargrr.
its charging but very slowly. 15% in 2 hours. checked battery pins. seems fine. i dkd manage to get 37% charge in 30 monutes once irh the phone off.
the phone doesnt even get warm while plugged in. it used to get pretty warm when cuargibg.
tried hard reset. trief reflashig rom. it knows wall charger is in. says charging orange charge light.. but it charges sooo slow...
im stuck. is this a repair jobk
Just got home and tried the new cable in my home PC. ive already lost 1% battery in the space of a few miutes usb tethering....
make sure you have the "don't charge the phone while connected via usb" unchecked. Other than that, sounds like a hardware problem.
i cant find that setting, only do not charge when the phone is on., which is off. Ive just noticed something else. the brightness setting for AC power effects the brigthness when connected to usb. I dont think it knows the difference between ac and usb anymore.

when you plug it into the wall, do you get the menu for: Activesync, Disk Drive, Internet Sharing? If so, then this is true. Really sounds like a hardware issue. I would take it back in and see if they can replace the port.
nope, when i plug it into the wall, no menu. it does seem to know the difference between usb and power. as using the option "when phone is on, do not charge when the pohone is connected to pc" has no effect with the wall charger.
I tried a different wall charger. I have a travel charger which is only rated at 500ma instead of 1amp and it charges the same. I was able to get 100% overnight. woke up after 8 hours to see the green light on, it stays at 100% with the wall charger as long as you leave it alone.
back into the computer, tethering and im loosing battery as if it wasnt connected.
Looks like ill have to dig out my insurance as its not a warranty repair (and also the water damage stickers are red, due to it being dropped in the toilete 3 months ago)
hmmm interesting. phone has been in charger overnight and was at 100% when i got up, pluigged into pc for usb tethering, despite battery dropping the green light is still on.
Ive done some searches on usb micro cables and came across people having problems with some data cables with charging, as some cables cannot cope with the large current required, but they mentioned that there phone would say this and i have seen that on my phone before with my front usb ports on my computer.
Im gonna order a microusb adabter as i have 2 high qualiity usb-mini usb cables from a G1 (which was usbed with an adapter with no problems) and 1 from a tmobile mda varia, same cable.
This has now been solved. After closer examination of the USB mini to micro adapter, it apeared that the 2 outside pins (which are for charging) had been flattened. Looking at the adapter, you could only see the 3 middle pins, but with a torch you could see that the oiutside pins were compelty flat. from droping the phone its oviously twisted the connector resultinin in flatting those pins.
I went back to tesco and bought the same USB kit which comes with a mini USB cable and several converters to fit different phones.
AFter hooking up the cable and micro usb adapter to my PC, my phone was within minutes showing increase in battery charge. After a few hours with usb tethering enabled and watching videos online im up 2-%.
The cable i bought for £7.99 which is micro usb though doesnt mention any HTC phones (mostly nokia) will connect perfectly for data transfer and the phone appears to say its charging. It looses power suggesting insuficient charge current. Maybe its the rom im using disables thsi warning as i have seen this before when i connected my phone to the front usb ports, but it works fine with the back.
So, it seems i have not damaged anything apart from the usb adapter i was using.
All is well, and im charging at a fast rate with USB while tethering.
Please close this trhead as it is resolved.
Final update. After several days i have been usb tethering and charging absolutly fine. Using 1amp charger charges fast!
Even from a dead battery can plug into usb and have the phone bootup.

I am having a strange issue on my Xperia S I would like to know if this is impacting other people. I am running Build 6.0.A.3.67 (FR) and when I charge my phone through the USB Hub (externally powered) it will actually begin discharging instead of charging in certain circumstances.
Here is how it can be reproduced:
1) Plug phone into USB Hub with PC (W7x64) in Standby mode - Phone will show as being charged by AC and battery will charge without issue.
2) Wake PC out of Standby - This will cause the Phone to switch from being charged in AC mode to USB mode but phone seems to continue to charge.
3) Put PC in Standby mode again - Phone will stop charging and will actually begin to discharge at a very fast rate 5% / hour.
To check actual charging status (charging AC/USB or discharging) go to Settings -> About Phone -> Status
To get the phone to go back to AC charging status it is necessary to unplug the USB cable from the phone and re-insert it and it will go back to charging in AC mode. It seems there is something in the phone software or kernel that blocks going from USB mode back to AC mode without unplugging the USB cable.
I have tried 2 powered USB hubs (D-Link and Dr. Bott) and same issue with both. I have tried 2 different USB cables and tested the same steps using my HTC Desire and Flyer and issue only occurs on the Xperia S. 1 difference is the 2 HTC devices always show USB charging mode and never AC but they continue charging without issue as PC goes from Standy to Actve to Standby again.
Can someone else please try to see if their phone also behaves the same way when following the steps above? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix? My only option currently is to charge only with an AC charger and not with the USB cable connected to my PC USB hub or I can wake up with my phone dead in the morning.
Thank you for any advice (sorry for the long post)
I just got my Tab p7500 and i have a problem. When i connects it to the charger it gives me MTP mode and charges veeeeeeery slowly as if it's connected to a usb.
Anyone knows what is this problem ?
Are you using original charger or some compatible, f.e. from your mobile. The original gives higher output power.
Does it actually show the connected as MTP notification? If not, make sure the charger is plugged in with the black wall adapter that came with it, since that gives it the full (10W i think) of power. If you plug it into one of those generic usb bars(like the Belkin mini surge protector), you will get only the power output meant for mobile devices and will charge very slowly.
i have the same problem
It takes me approximately 4 hour from zero to 100% with the original charger...
i just recently had the same problem.
buying a new adapter solved the problem. it seems that samsung's chargers aren't that good of a quality. (my sgs2's is working, but the outer part of the cable started to split so i had to fix it with some shrink tube...)
Device not charging when I plug into charger but it charges when it is connected to PowerBank. It is not charging in any other charger except PowerBank. I have tried factory data reset but no use. Should I download any room for solution. Please suggest me and kindly help me to solve this issue
sounds like your wall charger went bad, try another USB charger or computer to test (though I don't recommend charging on computer since it has low amps, and the phone needs 2A~ to charge properly), also try another micro usb cable.
there is nothing special about a power bank since it uses a standard USB port (with the exception of the data lines shorted).
