Has anyone ran into an issue where about 5 minutes after you plug your phone into the charger the phone locks up? Mine has done this now three times i think. I think it is something to do with the phone already being hot then plugging it in is making it hot enough to lock up or something. I dunno

Its a sanyo 800ma charger. Didn't think about trying the included charger to see if it still does it. Will try that
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Give it a shot, see how that turns out. Some chargers can have poor voltage control (wouldn't expect that problem from a Sanyo), others are actually wired differently. Please post to let us know what the answer was.

Hey guys,
Recently my phone will shut off even when I have a lot of juice left and it won't turn on unless I plug in the charger. Anyone else experience this or now a fix. Don't wanna have to send in my phone. Thanks in advance

Sounds like a battery issue, if you have a spare battery try using that and see if it powers on without being plug-in to ac adapter.

+1, I'm pretty sure a Hero or TP2 battery will work..
I'd just go to Sprint and swap it for another
Yup..battery

If you have insurance then go thru TMobile, if not, you are screwed. Samsung will not help you or anyone that purchases their products. All you will get is a "software reset" along with a message that it "passed all functional testing"
Check the pins on the usb port on the phone and on the charger, I read someone having an issue and he had some dirt covering on of the pins inside the usb on the phone. Try cleaning them somehow without damaging...

It's hard to say. It could be either. Does the phone ever charge up at all? (when it's powered down?). If not, I would first try another charger cable, to rule that out. If that doesn't solve it, then I'd be suspicious of the charge port, and most likely take it in to sprint. A little more info would be good.

There is a known issue with Evo charger its referred to as -charging port durability by Sprint- take it to a repair store and if you have any issues ask if it is part of the above know issue. This does not apply if its been pulled out by physical damage.

Yes but when the phone is completely shut off and it's plugged in, does the charging light come on and stay on?

It's your charger more likely cus it happened to me with a cheap charger. So I think its your charger. But if your using a legit charger from like sprint/htc, then something is wrong. I only use HTC chargers.
Sent from my HTC EVO Phone, should'nt we all have one?
This same thing happened to me, took it to a sprint repair center. They gave me a new USB cable and cleaned the port on my phone. Worked like new after that.

Does it do it on Factory UNrooted? If so, I'd say take it back to sprint while it's unrooted and on the factory stock rom and have them replace or fix it
I had the same problem with a refurb I got that replaced my original Evo. It worked fine for a week or two, then one night, I plugged it in as usual and woke up the next morning with a battery on the verge of dying. The charging light was even still orange when plugged in. I tried every charger I had (evo original, BlackBerry, Samsung, Sprint car charger...) to no avail. Charging with a wall adaptor and USB port on computer yielded the same lackluster results. It did this when rooted and not, with custom and stock roms, and didn't change with kernels. I ended up having to charge my spare battery with a wall charger for the battery and switch every hour or two. I went to the store and they looked at it and gave me 2 new batteries and a new charger (for palm pre) and tried to send me on my way. I plugged the charger into the wall at the store and showed the repair person that it was still losing battery while plugged in and "charging". Needless to say, I got another refurb right away that didn't do the same thing.
Bring it in to the store and get yourself a "new" phone. It worries me a bit that they might be pushing these refurbs out to stores a bit to quickly.

I charged the phone in my car for about 10 minutes today with no issues. When I got home and went to bed, I plugged the phone into my charger that I've used forever; a Motorola charger that originally came with my wife's old BlackBerry. I use it because the cord is about 5ft instead of 3 which seems to be the norm these days.
I didn't look at the phone again for about 20 minutes. When I did, I noticed that the backlight was flickering like crazy and that the edges of the screen were bleeding. When I unplugged it to get a closer look, I freaked out. Over the next few minutes, the flickering went away and the bleed disappeared. I couldn't even get a picture or video of it. I got the OEM charger out of the box and am using it now with no issues.
Weird.
You were using a charger for another phone? Wow man, never do that.

My phone flickers from bright to dim when I use my car charger. Most likely the cord's teeth to hold it in the phone are worn out/flush against the head of the charger. Replace the old cord with a new one and it should be fine.

It kind of looked like this but about 5x as intense. Not my photo.
Probably something to do with heat, as you were using a different charger.
Nexus 4 is glass after all, so it generates even more heat.
Well you have been lucky if you just use any charger around unless you are sure they are the correct voltage etc. They are all probably similar though seeing as they use the port that plugs into a USB. Still I wouldn't do it across manufacturers.

so do i lol, i had a super long blackberry one but i gave it to a guy when i sold my n9 :/
I am sure they are all close but it is still taking a chance and will void your warranty for sure unless you lie about it..

I always use different chargers. Mine are a mish mash of all kinds. They all usually output 5v and 1Amp or there abouts.
Living room - Sony charger with blackberry USB cable.
Living room - playbook charger
Bedroom - HTC charger with archos USB cable
Kitchen - Samsung charger
Work - HTC charger with Nokia USB cable
The playbook charger outputs 2Amps and that is fine too.
The only charger I have ever had and issue with on any phone is an LG one I got with an optimus 2x. That used to cause BSOD even on the LG.
Whether it voids your warranty or not, they would never be able to tell what charger you had been using.

glass itself does not generate heat
Same thing happened to me, except on the stock charger but it has something to do with overheating. Mine is recovering, but took a while and is still showing some ghosting.

This might help if you hold the power for a long time it should power on, if you have warranty you could send it in? Good luck........

Leave it charging for a good couple hours. It sounds like you really run it dry. And when in bootloader... You can literally run it dry. Always charge around 5% I would say.

A lot of people are having a problem with the battery wire. Kind of a longshot , but if you open it up, the cord to the battery might be loose. I would look it up a bit more but a ton of users are having that issue.
