X1 will only charge when connected to PC

Hi, My X1 will not charge when connected to the adapter that came with it, and not when connected to my mini USB hub, which is use to charge other devices.
Needless to say, I have tried different cables and so…
It only charges when connected to a PC directly.
I have tried the different USB-to-PC modes, with no change, I have tried a few ROM’s, with no change.
I would love some input on this…

is the hub a powered hub?
mine is and my x1 charge just fine
if it's not powered then everything connected to the hub share the 500mA max power 1 usb line can provide
which would explain why it dont charge

try and restart it, take out the battery and put it in and try to see if it works then.

It's a powered hub, yes. It "used" to work without problems.
And I have tried rebooting, removing battery, flashing another rom, etc etc, with no luck.

The hub is USB 1.1 or 2.0?
my external harddisk "WD Passport" doesn't work when connected with a usb 1.1 extension, while works great when connected to usb2.0.
[OT]Does X1 charge and work with ANY miniusb cable or just the original SE one?

I can confirm that the mini-USB cable is standard. I currently have 3 (one on the mains unit, one on my home computer and one on my computer in the office) in use and they all work perfectly.

Mine wouldn't charge from the mains yesterday, but it's fine again now. Curious.

mine had some problems with charging in the beginning. but its working now, there is something fishy with the charging, havnt had the time to look at it

It's really strange. I worked great the first two weeks i had the phone, then completly stopped.
Now i can only charge with my PC turned on.

I, also, have noticed some odd charging behaviour.
On occasion, i have noticed the battery life has been very short. It seems to coincide with strange charging results.
Once or twice, now, i have had the phone plugged in to the mains charger, overnight, and it has had less charge in the morning than it had the previous evening.
I am trying to figure out any pattern, but up to now, it evades me.
I'm hoping for a firmware fix, as i have several minor issues with the phone. There was a rumour that a firmware was being readied for a xmas/new year release. Patiently waiting, cos i adore this phone.

problem with charging

hey..
i've got a strange problem...
sometimes i try to charge my x1 via usb cable (outlet). and sometimes via usb cable (notebook, desktop pc etc...)
sometimes first alternative does not charge my x1 and sometimes the second!?
thats really strange and i dont understand why?!
im confused... last night i charge it via outlet and nothing happens...

I have had the same trouble. Seems to be something with the USB cable. I have one cable with a blue led in and that cable does not charge the phone. The light on the phone stays on and the batti monitor says charging, but it's draining the battery. A second cable is even more strange, it starts charging for 1-2 minutes, then the phone stops charging and says I have a missing sim.... reboot the phone and it works great again. Bot this cable have been tested with the original SE USB charger and my iPhone USB charger. Same thing with both adapters.
What's even more strange is that both USB cables work great with my Qtek 9100 and my 2,5" USB drives.
When I connected the original USB cable to one of the adapters and the phone it's charging normaly. I realy don't know why this is so...

Htc Apache: Dead?

This phone was used a few years ago and I now wish to give it to my girlfriend. When the phones were in use, they began to reveal some problems. Not connecting to ANYTHING, not even a usb charger of any type (over 10 diffrent cables). I recently bought a cradle and charged the battery until it was full. I plug it into the Apache...nothing. I remove the battery and plug it into 3 different usb ports, hoping i would see a red light (an ac charger, a wall charger, and a standard mini usb cord). Nothing either, so I know it isnt the battery, but the Apache itself?

Charging problems - only charging over USB

Hi there,
I have a big problem with charging my Galaxy S4. It only charges with my notebook USB Port, my AC-adapter does not work.
In the battery menu I can see that AC is connected, when I plug my adapter in. But charging does not work with my device.
Over USB I can charge slowly. This isn't a software problem, I have done some resets and firmware changes since the problem.
Maybe my phone got a little bit wet earlier. Could this be the problem? Can I fix this with changing the USB port part of the hardware?

Yes, I tried another cable but had no success

I dunno if I can ask it here, but i don't charge over usb, i mean it just "hold" the power level for me. Is that normal ?
Is your AC outlet working ?

Having issue where S4 only charges with USB and vibrates when using AC charger
I've been having some issues with my S4. I did recently get it a little wet, but it's working fine in all cases except charging. I have my phone next to my bed charging every night. I noticed it was dead one morning, but I figured I didn't connect the charger properly. The next night I noticed it was vibrating every 5 seconds or so, but the phone had turned off due to a low battery. Very strange behavior.
I realized that it would start charging, but it would stop between 1-3 minutes. The the phone would vibrate and not charge.
I've ready MANY posts from others with the same issue and someone mentioned their phone charges over USB. Seemed odd, but I tried it and voila, my phone charged perfectly. I have many samsung cables, none of which work. It's definitely not the cable. I can plug a samsung cable into my phone connected to AC and it doesn't work. I pull the USB portion out of the AC charger and plug into a computer and it immediately and consistently charges. The battery holds its charge as expected, so it doesn't appear to be a battery issue.
I've tried the developer mode options - no luck.
I've tried bending the charging prong - no luck.
I've tried blowing out the charging port with compressed air - no luck.
I recently got an update pushed to my phone (Sprint), but I don't think it was happening right after the update. Seems like a likely software issue.
I did get my phone a little wet recently, actually it was my young children throwing water at me.
I've read so many posts and nobody seems to have a good answer for this issue. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Extremely slow charging

so i had my phone for around a month now and fast charging works great until around 4 days ago where the battery percentage does not even go up by 1% while charging and watching videos on youtube and i always have the "slow charging" notification even if i turn on the fast charging feature and plug the cable in correctly.

Are you using the cable and charger it came with?
some cables i got caused the same problem i had when i first got my phone and had to invest in a good set

Are you using ORIGINAL out of box charging adapter and USB cable?
I had this issue with my old HTC One where i was using very cheap 3rd party USB cable from china and my phone was DISCHARGING while it was in use and connected to the adapter at the same time.
If you lost your original USB cable i suggest you to pay 10$ and get some normal cable (i bought ANKER for my old HTC One).

fast charging only works when screen is off.
