While my tablet S3 battery was at 30%, I plugged it to its recharger. But I didn't noticed it wasn't recharging.
At 15% of battery the usual message notified to put it in charge.
So I discovered to have no way to recharge it. Checked the the plug, changed charger, wires, but no way to recharge it.
Tried also a soft reset entering the safe mode, but no charge started.
So it seems hard reset is my last chance.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
Update, neither hard reset fixed it.
Same thing happened to me today.
Its not registering any USB-C connections, including charging. However it does charge very slowly. If the tab is on its just enough to keep it alive. If I turn it off and charge it does like 5% per hour and the charging icon and vibration goes on every 10-15 seconds.
Tried to clean the USB port with a toothpick and got a little bit of yellow stuff out, looked like rust or glue. Tried different chargers and cables, all behave the same.
Ive been very careful with it and I cant imagine what might have caused this.
Yesterday the simcard was disconnecting, maybe related maybe not. Been working fine before that.

I have never had this issue before so i'm coming for some help as i'm guessing it's something to do with CM. Last night i flashed cm-10.1.3-quincyatt with no problems at all. Everything was working flawlessly. Once i got my phone fully charged and most of my apps setup ect. I did a battery calibration, then used a drainer app to drain the battery completely as normal. plugged the charger back in and it charged to about 75-80% i picked my phone up a bit later to check messages and noticed it was not charging. I unplugged and replugged the charger cord with no success in getting the phone to charge. I've tried numerous cords, usb cables ect. Nothing will charge. It won't even recognize the phone when plugged in usb on the computer. the battery charges fine with an external charger, but obviously i cannot use the phone while the battery is out on an external charging unit. I know someone is probably going to suggest the charging port went bad...i highly doubt that because it was just replaced not a week ago. also, any time i've had a charging port go out, nothing will work in the port, not even a dongle jig. I powered the phone down and inserted my dongle jig to test and make sure, and sure enough, the second the dongle jig is inserted the phone powers on and boots into download mode as it should. I've reset dalvik ect. tried everything i can think of besides wiping and reflashing, as i'm trying to avoid that since i have about 4 hours or so in setting up custom settings/apps ect. on the phone lol. I've noticed browsing the web i'm not the only person experiencing this issue, so can someone please help me in fixing it asap? Thanks in advance for the help, and if a thread was already posted on how to fix this, please direct me to it, because i could not find it.
[Update]
I have wiped and reflashed just to test and see if that would fix the issue, sadly it still will NOT charge.
Hello,
I have a really weird problem with my phone for several months now. I use Zenfone 5, and my warranty is probably void already, but I could not use it anyhow (it is in a different country). I tried contacting the official support, but they just said to send it in for a check up, which I could not at the time, and cannot now either.
The problem started when I plugged in my phone in my car using third party car charger. It worked with other phones with no problems, and the output should be OK. When I plugged it in, the light on the charger went off, and the phone turned itself off without any notification. I tried to power the phone on with no success. It just vibrated, and remained off. Later I disassembled the charger and found out that the safety fuse has melted.
I went to my house and plugged the phone in, and it turned on. But the problem was, and remained to this day, that the phone thinks it is charging even when it is not plugged in. The phone charges normally, and battery life is ok, the phone normally goes into deep sleep mode.
The phone won't power up without charger, and the USB OTG obviously doesn't work. But there are some curious things about this problem.
When I took my phone apart and disconnected the battery for 30 minutes (it is non-removable), after I connected it back, the phone turned itself on (without the charger), until I tried to charge it, then it went back to only powering on while on charger. The constant charging thing, nevertheless, remained all the time.
Sometimes when I plug in the cheap USB OTG converter, the phone stops charging notification. When I unplug it, it goes back to charging.
I have no clue what could be the problem, and which part (the usb board or the battery) could be faulty.
I also tried hard reset a few times, with no success.
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Bump? Anyone? Any clue?
Is there any way to change kernel so it doesn't register charging if there is no current flowing to the phone?
And which type of battery connector is this?

Have had mine since launch day and take extremely good care of it. ZERO issues with charging until last night. Plugged it in before bed and thought it would be fine as any other day.
Woke up this morning and it's at 1% charge. The battery pack / charger is fully charged, and reads green/blue not red when plugged in. I left it connected and plugged it into the wall and the battery icon shows on the watch with 1% below it but it doesn't read green as it normally does showing it's taking a charge.
I then moved it to my PC plugged it in and it recognized the watch, thus the connections are all solid. I left it plugged into my computer, reset it to factory again and am now restoring it to see if that will resolve things. Really odd as it's not been wet or undergone a drop or anything.
Frustrating to say the least as I'm leaving for a week long trip and would like to have it with me working. Not sure if AT&T will do anything. Very worst case I can send it in to Sammy but that's not good either.
Anyone have toughts or experiences with this happening?
Okay, found out the problem. For some very odd reason a simple reset did the trick. I have no idea what changed or happened over the course of the past few weeks as I've not installed or done anything different.
When in doubt reboot or reset I suppose. Go figure.........
I got this phone about a month ago. It came with a fast charging cable. It charged nicely a couple of times. Then I noticed that it wasn't charging even though it was detecting that it was plugged in. It completely depleted and turned off. I fiddled with it changing cords and chargers and nothing helped. I eventually took battery out of phone and put back in and it charged.
So, basically I can charge it 1 more time maybe without having to take battery out before plugging into charge. It has worked every time so far. Why is this? And what can I do to fix?
I recently picked up this galaxy s6 edge from a friend that upgraded to a new phone. It won't turn on, neither to android recovery, nor to download mode nor the android. I charged it via wireless charging overnight and i tried for around an hour with a usb cable. What do i do?
same issue i am facing, i tried original charger, wireless charger and fast chargers from many different brands. but all failed. The device only gets warm/hot while charging and nothing happens. neither download mode nor recovery mode works. I am kind pf stuck without any solution, my device was used very rarely and its like an brand new device. Doesn't know what to do, if you find any solution then please let me know too. thanks in advance
Same problem. If I press power button very long, blue light comes on. Then it's stuck and stays like this until battery is flat. Battery charging is not possible: device heats up (tried USB and Qi), but battery doesn't take any charge.
So I opened the S6 and checked the battery directly. I can charge it directly with a lab power supply and when I plug it in and press power button, the blue notification light comes on again until battery is empty again. I can also see that only ICs get hot, but not the battery when plugging in USB.
So, it's definitely some hardware fault. I suspect power IC that is not able to power up the screen. But I don't know. I will investigate further but it looks difficult. However, I have seen many YouTube videos with same symptoms, but problem was always different than mine :/
Hi guys,
This thread is 2 months old, any of you managed to fix the problem?
I am having very similar problem. My phone was on a shelf for about a year and a half. Before now it was working perfectly. Now I can't charge it via USB or power adapter. When trying to power it up or get into download or recovery mode, nothing happens. Computer does not see it. Tried different cables, USB ports, power adapters..nothing.
The only thing that is happening to the phone is the battery logo appears when trying to charge it, though the green bar does not go over battery, only the empty grey battery with lightning icon in the middle. Also the screen does not go dark after a few seconds as it should and the red/blue LED does not turn on.
Is this the signal from the phone, that the battery is to deeply dischareged and cannot be charged again? I am googling all over the web and can't find anybody talking about what phone does in case of to low voltage on battery.
PS back does not seem to be bloated, USB port was working perfectly last time used
Please try to help, you are my last stop before opening the phone and start probing the poop out of motherboard to see what gave.
EDIT: something interesting happened just about an hour after my post. The battery suddenly started showing % of charge and the green bar started running, computer recognized the phone.. as everything should be.
My FIX: leave the phone pluged in and charging for about 3days and it will start working again.
My semi professional explenation of fix and problem: the phone has a ''backup or reserve'' battery. It is actually main battery but the last I think I read somewhere it is 20% of capacity, is reserved for phone exclusively for the clock and all other electronics that need power when switched off. Now these 20% probably were discharged due to laying around for almost 2 years.
It took me 3 days of charging to fill up these ''20%'' I guess. Probably because Lithium batteries are charged VERY slow at very start and end. This is safty procedure for ALL Li batteries.
If any expert can confirm my conclusion please do so, to help other people.
To answer partialy to my question: The phone tells you battery is ''deep'' discharged when you only see the charge icon without the green bar.
In the mean time I was writing this edit I came up to 4% battery and turned it on!
