Hello guys, I have a veeery rare problem with my new phone, bought it yesterday in a local shop in Prague, czech republic. I was there for a trip, now im not there anymore, im in barcelona, spain.
The problem is that with the charger given in the box, the phone will only charge IF THE SCREEEN IS TURNED ON, in these two situations:
.When the device is turned on
Or
.When the device is off, that it shows the battery graphic when you plug the usb. The screen will turn off automatically and will RESTART just as if you would unplugged the usb cable.
I used my previus lg bello charger, and with it, it works BUT I have to turn the device on and then turn it off in order to charge it while the phone is off, if not the phone will restart in the same way as with the factory charger.
Could you help me?
Greetings
I have the exact same problem. How did you solved?
Any suggestions, anyone?
Thanks in advance.
Did you solved it and how?
Im now using my previous wall charger. If i want to charge the phone wile is turned off, i connect it while is on and after that i turn it off, then it charges properly
Previous charger? From other phone, is it fast charger? I've tried a couple of them (Samsung, LG...), none of the fast chargers works (with screen off), but every normal (slow) charger works, and from 0-100% it takes 1h45m to charge.
It is not a fast charger, its from Lg L bello. Did you tried with another usb type-c cable? I didnt have the possibility to find another one so im thinking its that thing
Yes, I've tried 3 different usb type-C cables, same thing, and I tried this LG fast charger and cable on another Samsung phone and it works normal as it should. So it seems like it's a hardware thing, phone doesn't fast charging properly. I wonder will it be worst, or will it cause some other malfunctioning with the time.
Hope its not a bootlooping signal... God please no

My GT-i9300 seems to only recharge when plugged into a mains charger.
Until recently all was fine, afaik no updates... then
I travel alot, and use a car charger to maintain battery... it just stopped working, first thoughts were the cable..;. but I have 2 phones and the cables work with the other phone (bought new ones anyway.. just in case.. you can never have to many cables).
at home we have (amongst other things) a 2amp multi usb hub, it has little lights to show which socket is active, when the phone is connected the phone does not charge and the hub does not register the connection.
.. so I'm thinking the phone microusb is faulty... I carefully wiggle it to see if it connects... but get nothing.
however, the samsung microusb charger that came with the phone does still charge the phone.
My feelings are that my phone has suddenly become fussy about what charges it..
I've done a search and found mention of Googy max kernel for the charge control feature
however before I do this please, any tips, suggestion WHY this might have suddenly happened? and any alternative remedies. Thanks
btw: using Carbon-kk-nightly-20140302-0518 with no problems previous to this... except a dialler issue.
So I pay £45 a month for my Samsung galaxy mega 6.3 I've had it for a month and a half now and its a lovely phone, works well and everything, however all of a sudden I plug my charger in and it constantly flicks between charging and not charging (the little lightning bolt symbol appears and disappears constantly) whilst the cable is firmly plugged into the phone, this is when the screen started to flash at me and click on things I haven't touched , the most common thing it does is switch on driver mode , the back and options button flash at me and the screen switches on and off rapidly, I've reset the phone and tried a different battery and still the same result, its not as bad now, when I put the charger in this time the screen doesn't go weird it's fine its just my phone will charge but after 5-10 minutes it will stop charging again and I have to go and unplug it and plug it in again, this is seriously annoying so is it a malfunction with the phone? Is It something I've done? Is there an easy way to fix it? I need help please!
Is that the same when you charge your Mega through USB cable from PC? If yes, then it is phone's hardware problem, but if NOT, I would suggest to change charger.
Charging from PC is also possible, but the charging current is about 1/4 th of current from dedicated wall socket charger - the phone is charged although much less intensively.
Nominal charging current from wall socket charger is approx. 1.9 amp so if you need to find new one, choose wisely and accept only charger with 5V 2A specs.
Hi,
my Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300) recently started to be very hard to get it even to charge a little...sometimes I was forced to charge the battery manually by taping +5V and GND cables to the battery because the phone would just refuse to charge.
I suspected that the micro USB socket in phone is corrupted, because I've sometimes tried 6 different USB cables and none of them even worked for a few seconds. Then after struggling with it, it SOMETIMES started working.
I've also tried 5 different chargers (original 1A HTC Charger, 2A Samsung charger, 1A iPhone chargers, some different 2A charger i just bought because i thought it may finally start working)
And so yeah, I've bought a new charger with new usb cable with 2A at output, hoping it will work. But guess what? It didn't even charge the phone for a seconds, it charges other phones, my old HTC phone, my sisters Galaxy S4, but not my S3...it is not the cables fault (im 100% sure) because i have it connected and charging to my old HTC charger (1A at output) and i just plug the cable to the new 2A Charger and it is not working anymore...
The weirdest thing is that most of these chargers (Except the new one) were all working with the phone, but stopped after some time, like my old charger stopped working so I tried another one - it was working, but after trying it again or few times later it just stopped...
Any ideas? The battery is holding power long enough I think, so I dont think it is corrupted, what else could cause this?
Edit
Suddenly, after my phone dropped down to 7% and I had problems with connecting it to the original HTC charger (1A at output) i tried the new 2A charger which never worked with this phone, and BAM, it is working now and charging very well.
However, what started happening now is that when im charging the phone (through USB cable) it keeps spamming "Docking station connected" and going into docking mode, which is very annoying. I guess there is some problem with the socket? :/

I can see your assumption, but have you ever tried another battery ? Just for checking, to make sure...
Since last days, my POCO F1 don't start charging sometimes I connect the cable. Cases when it start charging or don't charge are randomly. I bought the phone in November 2018 and since now it was charged with the original charger and cable. I also tried to charge it with another original Xiaomi charger and cable from another Poco F1. The behaviour is the same. I don't use to let the phone charging overnight.I have performed a factory reset on the phone, I even installed the last Beta ROM, but the problem is still there.
The interesting part is when the phone is turned off and I connect the cable, it start charging every time. For example, if I connect the cable when the phone is ON and it happen to be the case to not start charging, if I turn the phone OFF, it start charging.
I also tried to gently clean the usb-c socket from dust, but the behaviour is the same.

Does anybody have an idea about what to do? Thank you very much.

The fact that when you turn the fone off it's starts charging leads her to believe that the ambient temperature where you are is quite high, 35°+. If this assumption is correct then you'll need to let things cool down before charging the fone.
same issue
i have same issue do you found any solution ?
Anybody found the solution? My phone charges at very slow rate (1%-2% per hour).
Had the same issue,just do a complete fastboot flash,it will get fixed...???
HELP!!
I am facing the exact problem you faced. If you found a solution or anyone finds one please tell me. I'm facing this problem for the past 5 days.
Ok so I started having a weird charging issue with my Xperia Z2, a few months ago when I plugged the phone in to charge and noticed it was constantly showing it was charging and disconnecting non stop (basically this here Xperia Z2 charging disconnect)... first thought was maybe my usb cable (original Sony cable) was buggered but nope, plugged in my Xperia Z5 on the same cable and it charged fine, so I tried my magnetic charger on the Z2 and nothing, no charge at all. Eventually when the phone died completely then I was able to get it to charge but not without some issue, when plugging in it would still do the same thing, charge and disconnect constantly, it would take unplugging the cable and plugging it in again a few times till the phone would eventually charge and even though the charge would show 100%, when I turn the phone on, the battery percentage would vary anywhere between 80%-95% and it would discharge very fast.
I figured it may have been my battery as I have been using the phone with an expanded battery since like 2020 and thought maybe thats it for the battery. Eventually got around to getting a new battery this weekend and the phone still does the same thing but its a bit different now, connecting it with my Sony cable still did the same thing when connected to the wall charger, charge and disconnect constantly. Then I thought maybe it could be a software issue so I connected my phone to my PC using a different usb cable to copy some stuff to my PC before resetting the phone to see if that helps...connected it and it was charging...so I take my Sony cable and connect it to the PC with that and it was charging...unplugged the cable from the PC and plugged it into the wall charger and it was charging and disconnecting again. Plugged it into the PC again and started charging. Tried the other usb cable with the wall charger and it did the same constant charging and disconnecting. I know the wall charger is working fine as I am charging other phones on it too with no problems.
I try a third usb cable on the wall charger, this is a real cheap low amp cable, my Z2 starts charging with it almost normally, painfully slow but it was charging. Now I say almost normally because when it charges to around 90% then it starts doing the constant charge and disconnect again. Also the battery doesn't discharge as fast as it was doing before but still a bit fast.
I want to try flashing a new rom, stock and custom to see if any of those might work.
Would any one have any idea of the issue or experienced anything similar and was able to fix it? Any help any one
In the past I had a similar problem, try to clean the Usb port on phone and try again.
Kindly regards
I remember reading something about the live kernel being involved in charging. It makes sense for this to break charging while completely empty. To charge at full speed you need the kernel to be running, but to get the kernel running you need power, the trickle charge you get without a kernel isn't enough to keep up with the boot process, so you end up in a loop of no power. I have not tested if another kernel fixes it, but it is currently broken on my device.
