Won't charge from computer?

Anyone else notice that it won't charge from a computer? (well monitor) With my Aria i ran a USB cable from my monitor at work to the phone. the monitor wasn't connected (USB) to the computer, and it would just work as a charger. Doesn't seem to work with the atrix. anyone else able to confirm?

more info. does in fact charge when connected to a computer. but due to security reasons the company does not want phones connected to the companies. That is why i was using the monitor. Going to have to look into why it doesn't work this way for this phone. or just buy a longer cable and use the wall plug.

Mines actually not charging when connected to my laptop, wall is fine. The phone recognizes that it has a usb connected, but it doesn't charge and battery state still reads as discharging.
Also wondering if this is an issue for anyone else

Mine charged extremely slow from my PC and my laptop, the wall charger does it much faster.

USB ports on a computer don't usually provide enough voltage to charge a phone as fast as they normally do when plugged into the wall. My motherboard actually has a piece of software that supposedly enables phones to charge faster when connected to a USB port, but i have yet to try such a feature.
I've had my Atrix plugged into my computer for roughly 3 hours now, and so far it's gone from 30% to 60%.

I wouldn't be the least bit concerned if it was charging slowly, it was actually lower after unplugging than it was when I plugged in, and no charge symbols appeared. But if I plugged it in the computer saw it and soon as I unplugged the message popped up saying low battery please reconnect charger, and when reconnected it went away.
But there was no charge symbol and under battery status it said discharging.
Now I just unplugged from wall charger (worked fine first time) and plugged back into laptop, its charging fine so hopefully it was a one time thing.

Ah, so thata what it is; I have had mine on here for a while now and im still at 60.
Rooted/ROM Captivate
Rooted Atrix

When i first plugged mine into my desktop computer, it wouldn't charge at all. I then installed that motosoftware that came with the phone and after it finished the phone started to charge, but very very slowly.

Every computer ive tried works fine.
But when i plug it into a wall charger(not one that came with atrix) it starts freaking out lol. "unplug to save energy!!" flash on & off 3/second...atrix charger works fine tho...lame

You need the driver off the motorola site to charge the phone from your computer.

Yea, computers work, monitors don't. I'm guessing that the USB hubs in monitors don't have enough juice, even though they did for my Aria.

[Q] Nexus 7 no longer charging or being detected at all

Hi there,
Last night my Nexus was intermittently being detected via my laptop nor my PC (on a number of different ports) and when I tried to charge it, it was detecting the charger intermittently too - I tried a new cable and turned it off and it came up with the charge animation in the center of the screen.
However, when I got up (~7 1/2 hours later) it had only charged 27% (up from 1%) and when I unplugged it to plug it in in the other room it has decided it will no longer detect the charger at all.
Any ideas? It's fairly new (Appr 2 months old) Or is it a warranty job!
Cheers
Edit - Using original cable and original charger, however I have tried a different cable and that didn't work. For some reason, the battery goes to the 100% icon in the tray (but it doesn't appear to be charging, i'm not sure if this is a red herring or a sign of something else)

Does it turn on/boot up into android okay?

sorry to hear about the charging problem. I have not heard of that. Some have complained that it charges slow. I have the opposite experience, mine charges relatively quickly I think. Anyway, have you tried contacting OPPO support. They will respond withing 24hrs, assuming it's not the weekend!

I also experienced some charging issues. Connected my Find to my laptop the other evening, closed the lid and went to bed.
The next morning the phone was out of juice. For some reason, my Find 5 will not charge when my laptop is hibernating. It charges fine otherwise.
No other phone I've owned has this problem. I tested it with my old Galaxy Note and HD2. No problems charging when laptop is hibernating.
I also noticed that sometimes when connected as Media Device (MTP) it says charging....but the battery level still goes down.

Probably the power output is not enough to charge the phone properly, it also happens to me, but with the stock charger it does it well.

[HELP] Charging problems

In a beautiful day, when I forget my charger at school, I used my PC to charge my cellphone ( just 2 days like that) and the cellphone was detecting like usual: If connected to pc it shows charging over USB, If connected to AC it shows AC. Ok then, so What is the problem? After One week, when I was travelling using the phone as usual the battey ended and cellphone turned off at 0% (perfectly normal), as soon as I was travelling I used car charger to charge my Zenfone (It is an 2A car adapter). When I connected the cellphone (I was on Stock ROM) it take more time to detect charger than usually (like when you connect it the phone instantly shows the battery icon when off) it takes over 20s connected to charger to show the battery logo, the phone was saying that 1/4 of battery has been charged (WTF it was totally discharged from 100% to 0% and when I put 20s it charge that much? This is not possible I tought). When I turn the phone on it was showing 30% OF BATTERY, I wondered how that could happen. (I alreay saw this bug on my friend's cellphones from other brands like Samsung & Motorola). Anyway, when I saw those 30% I saw the battery graph (wich shows if is on AC or USB) and it was showing charging over USB. BUT HOW THAT COULD BE USB, ITS A FRRAKING 2A CHARGER WTF ZENFONE. I tested on my sister's phone with same cable and same charger, it was showing charging over AC as well. When I finally get home I let it charging, after 1h30m it just charged 15% with Asus AC charger & at the battery graph still showing charging over USB, when I tried to connect it to computer the phone was showing charging over USB (btw it was ok because it was on PC) but windows doesn't said nothing was connected, no USB mismatch, NOTHING. I was on panic. WTF HAPPENED TO MY CELLPHONE. This day I decided to go to Marshmallow, soon as I have root and TWRP pre-installed (when I still have usb connection {3 months ago when I made root}) So I downloade RR zips, upgraded, everythig was ok, Marshmallow Running successfully. But one thing wasn't ok, the freaking charger detect. It was still saying "over USB" but it was on AC. Tried to go o bootloader, no answers from the phone either from windows. I bought an USB-OTG adapter, not working too. I bought an new microusb sub board, replaced it to the new one. No success, still saying charging over USB, no pc connection. Just one thing chaned: OTG before SubBoard change it doesn't even gave energy to "feed" the pen drive, mouse doesn't work too. This night was when I became freaking mad, I let it charging, when I turn the phone on it has just 25%. 6h Charging and 25%. I said to myself, this couldn't be possible, no way dude. I don't know what to do anymore, I'm desperate, is the only android phone that I have, already tried many chargers, many cables, many different computers, no clue of what happened with this cellphone. So is not an hardware issue (as soon I already had this issue, but it get back to normal by itself last time, I didn't do anything) but now it has been 1 month charging "over USB with short battery life. What am I suposed to do now? I tried repair battery life PRO, app from an XDA member. It says everything OK with battery, screenshot below: (translate: No problems founded). And another screnshot of the USB problem. As you guys can see my battery graph is sh*tty, never get to 100% in one day because of this issue.
@gadmei.tw @TecnoTailsPlays (New thread that I was saying).
Please anyone help me, I don't know what to do anymore . I always helped guys with other issues on RR and other rom's issues, now please I need you guys to help me.
Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Brazil and I'm nervous now.
Thanks XDA :crying:

I half read your story .I think your battery is miscalibrated.You need root and a app to calibrate it.
Say thanks if it helped.

Battery or USB Charging port issue?

I have trouble charging my S7 edge, It simply refuses to charge shows me that I have plugged in my USB charger by giving me a white lightning symbol but then disappears after 3 seconds or so and does not charge..
Here is a what happens after experimenting.
extremely Slow charge and fast drain - My phone stays on in "Download Mode" whilst plugged in - 4/5 hours later I had 26% after 30 mins mild use took it down to 13%
No USB Connection detected? - Whilst I had some battery life I have no USB connection in either ODIN / FIle transfer at all with my computer
No Wireless Dock Charge - I Attempted to charge my device by wireless , it also refuses this.
Its like my phone will only accept bare minimum power ? but im confused to why no file transfer is not possible if it was a battery issue?
Thanks
