Hi all,
My phone suddenly stopped taking a charge while I was setting up the pixel experience 8.1 rom I downloaded from here. Normally I would assume it was hardware but it seemed to happen just after I flashed pixel and was rebooting to set up supersu and xposed, so I was wondering if it might be software?
Doesn't charge or connect to pc when it twrp, or when powered off either though. And I have flashed lineage 14.1 instead and still isn't charging. I've not had any problems with the USB socket so far, and no amount of wiggling around or cleaning the contacts is working now. I have tried several cables and power supplies, they all work on my other phone.
Is there anything software wise that would still be a problem after flashing lineage? Or should I just order a new socket?
Can anyone just tell me if there's any part of the software a custom rom could alter that would affect ability to charge when the phone is off?

I've had my s3 for a year now and since last night it began to charge very slow. I've been using the stock charger and cable , however the problem still persisted with another Sony cable I used.
Wiping and reflashing ROM + Kernel did not work. Galaxy Charger Current Lite showed up 999 as the current mA and it was still painfully slow. The only thing that did work was when I installed the Perseus kernel and disabled Stable margin & Unstable power detection. Then the phone charged properly.
Now I am worried about why do I have to go through that workaround. I haven't tried the stock rom + kernel yet but I think the problem will be the same.
I'm still in warranty but I've had my phone for so long without a single scratch. I have kind of an OCD when it comes to my phone, even the tiniest scratch visible under sunlight might upset me, so I'm a bit worried sending it in for repair since I've seen them how they handle phones.
I haven't tried changing a battery yet but I doubt that's the cause. Do you think my micro-usb port is failing and will I have problems or even further damage the phone if I continue charging with the stability detection off?
Flash a full stock rom and test before install/restore any apps or mods. If still the same then change charger and battery.
After that you are looking at hardware fault, probably charging IC or port.
Is anyone else experiencing this on LP roms?
I'm currently on 5.1.1 and if I unplug from the charger, the LED stays on and the battery percentage icon continues spinning as if it is charging.
When this happens, the battery drains abnormally quickly unless I reboot to get rid of it.
It also stops it from charging if I plug it back on the charger.
Extremely annoying, I might try reverting to an older 5.0 ROM and see if it still has the problem, maybe it's my device and not the ROM but would love to know if anyone else has come across this problem...?
obviously you're on a custom rom since the Z2 doesn't have 5.1.1 yet, so which one ?
I've recently tried multiple 5.1 roms, but never had this issue, but maybe it came up in newer builds, not sure.
You could try using other 5.1.1 rom to see if you still have the same issue. If it doesn't then you can inform the developer of your rom
thanks people's
Yes, a custom rom, I tried several other new roms and they are all exhibiting this problem for me.
I also tried reverting to a previous backup of a different 5.0.1 ROM and the problem still exists, and I'm sure the problem wasn't in that ROM when I originally used it so maybe it's coming from somewhere else.
I might try reverting to a stock rom and see what happens

Repair with PC companion or flashtool with stock ftf
I have this LED problem even on my stock phone 4.4.4 and 5.0.2. haven't noticed battery drain
I think i have narrowed it down to a bad usb cable(s) not supplying enough power to charge the phone. I have replicated this many times
I don't think it's the cable, I've tried multiples and it will charge fine using the magnetic adapter, I can also access the device files without a problem (MTP/ADB).
I've flashed the latest stock ftf (specifically D6503_23.1.A.0.726_UK+Generic.ftf) and it now shows the newer charging screen when the phone is off and plugged in, but it still has the same problem. Even when powered off it doesn't charge properly, the percentage just goes down even though the LED is on and the screen says charging. If I unplug the usb cable the light stays on and it still indicates as charging and drains abnormally.
Thought I should also mention, no matter what ROM I use (stock/custom) the auto-rotate behaves weirdly and the screen will auto rotate even when the setting is off.
Edit:
If anyone else if having this problem, it is most likely due to the magnetic charger damaging the board:

Hopefully this is covered by warranty
Hi,
I'm facing a weird problem when connecting my phone to my office PC.
The phone shows that its charging but i don't see any increase in the battery percentage even after an hour. In fact, i noticed the battery drains a bit faster when connected via USB.
Just to confirm this, I installed ampere and noticed that my phone is charging at -400mA which is ridiculously strange. I have never seen something like that on any phone that i have ever used.
I thought the problem might be with the stock ROM. But its not. Things i've tried
1) Reflash stock ROM. No changes
2) Flash CM13. No changes
3) Use a different USB cable. No change
4) Use a different system in my office. No change
Things i have not tried so far
-Connect to my home PC. Could the issue be because the drivers cannot be installed on my work system? I used to charge my Nexus 5 with the same USB cable on the same system before. But this is really strange.
I use the Moto E 2015 Xt1506 Otus. Please let me know if someone has faced this problem before and has found a fix for this.
Currently i'm on CM13 and would prefer not to go back to stock.
Thanks.
If you get same behaviour with stock ROM and multiple systems, then it has to be a hardware issue.
Hello all,
Recently I got a problem with my phone. A couple of weeks ago it started displaying charging slowly when connecting it to the power supply. In these cases charging takes hours to charge the phone completely, approximately 5 hours. Few times it says charging fast, and then it charges in about 2 hours. At the beginning I got the impression that it has something to do with the angle I plug in the cable, but it's mainly random.
Now I'm a bit afraid the phone is broken. I've already tested different power supplies, even the original one but it didn't change a thing.
I also tried using cm13 and the current oxygen, no difference in behavior. I even installed a different kernel, without success.
Do you have any idea what's causing the problem or if there's anything I could try?
Thank you!
@StarFishes82 maybe there's some lint or crud stuck up in the port. Use a toothpick and gently sweep inside.

I have experienced that different cables have different charging rate. I only can recommend to use the original cable or some better quality one which can handle 2A, but I assume you are using the original.
I can feel that since I am experiencing same problem. My phone is not detected on computers too. It isn't detecting on my Mac. tried on Windows machine too and unrecognised/Corrupted device connected message popped up. For now, I have flashed Boeffla Kernel (OxygenOS 2.2.0-X) and using its app(Boeffla-Config V2) to increase charge rate(Not recommended, phone heats a lot if you charge and use phone same time). My phone is charging in expected time but this is not permanent solution for this problem. I am taking my device to service center this weekend and recommending you same. Hope they cover this issue in warranty.
Just wanted to give some feedback.
I tried everything mentioned above, without solving the issue. The physical port is clean, I tried different cables, finally I contacted the support. I have to send them the phone and they are gonna repair it. So bad luck because I have to find a temp phone...
Hello Dear,
I have encountered the same problem as you today, but my phone is Sony Xperia Z2
Same problem exactly.
Charging Slowly (5 hours until full)!
What to do? Is there any fast workaround? I'm afraid the warranty is gone, can I fix it in any store?
Hi,
I installed AEX 4.4 rom, everything worked fine but charging was very slow, 1% in 15 min or so, that to stopped, I installed BS kernel, charging didn't work, then tried pure nexus kernel, didnt work.
reinstalled AEX 4.4 after clean wipe, same issue, now my phone's battery is completely depleted, it doesnt even charge while turned off, any other way to charge the phone?
It might be a faulty usb cable, as many other users already reported. Try using a cable different from the one that came with the phone and tell us if it works
