Anyone ever charge your X1 till it hanged? Happened to me twice lately, both times when my X1 was on while charging (usually would turn it off to charge). Basically it'd just switch off (or so it seems cos no lights and no reaction to me pressing any buttons) and no matter what I pressed it wouldn't turn on again. Only way was to do a soft reset. Anyone ever encounter this? Wonder if it's normal or there's something wrong with my X1.
Something similar just happened to me today. Left my phone charging all night and I'm thinking it might have gotten overcharged. When I woke this morning the phone had rebooted and was asking for a Pin to the sim card. hm... this isn't good at all.
Mine didn't reboot. Just hanged/switched off. Hmm... really overcharge?
Have not experienced this but I know the phone does really heat up while charging. So that might be the case. Overheating or something maybe. I suggest not to keep the phone on charging overnight. I think its easier if u switch off the phone and charge if you want a fast charge. I guess it would not even take an hour for the x1 to go from 0 to 100% charge if charged using the charger and not the USB.

Well, even if my phone's off, it takes about 3 hours for a full charge.
Twice yesterday my GT screen went blank. The tablet isn't dead because I can see the backlight on at about 10% brightness. Gives off an eerie gray tone to the screen.
The screen and volume controls do nothing to revive it. However, holding down the power button for about 20 seconds turns the unit off. From there I can reboot.
One of the times happened during the night while I was recharging the unit. It locks the unit up so tight that the charger stops charging. When I unplugged it from the charger and rebooted it in the morning it only had a 42% charge.
Any idea why this is happening? Since it affects charging it appears to be hardware related. Can a software hiccup cause the charger to stop charging?
If it keeps up I may do a factory reset to see if that solves it.
Anyone else having this issue?
Sorry but I haven't had anything like that happen...but I wouldn't tolerate it for more than a couple days.
out of juice ?
Are you using USB charging or the wall charging plug ?
There's a BIG difference in charge .. USB trickles and once the screen is on or you're downloading .. it discharges ..
This has happened to me a few times too. I figured it was just some odd bug.
I haven't experienced this on either of our tabs (both are 16GB (retail) a white and a gray both rooted nothing custom as of yet/ both have locked bootloaders)
Probably not relevant, but I see 2 people have posted this experience. So I ask are either of you rooted or using custom kernel/rom, 16GB/32GB?
This happended to me a couple of times:/ actually happened 2 hours ago. I realized within an hour so only lost 30 percent. I hope there will be a fix with touchwiz ux, even though i don't want to update it to touchwiz, I might have to
This has happened to me, and I am not rooted.

Not rooted and I only charge with wall charger.
Someone asked if I was rooted, I am. Was running stock kernel and rom the first few times this happened though. Only charge with oem charger, although I've only seen it happen once while on charger.
Sounds like it's shutting down but not completing the power-off.
When you power off the tablet - you'll see it do the same thing - it's the backlight that's still on.
If you have access to the android dev tools/adb - use: adb logcat and see if there's any useful output about what's happening.
I had my SGT charging ever since last night and just came to turn it on but it was powered off. I had to hold the power button for 10 sec to turn it back on. I believe it was fully charged last night but I kept it the charged plugged in anyways.
Is it normal for the SGT to shut off if fully charged and connected to the charger?
It happened to me once and a few others as well. Seems to be a software bug.
Same has happen to me, kind of random.
Same. Anyone have a fix for this? Im running the Blazar ROM
I don't know what is wrong with my Nexus 7, but for the past couple of days everytime I woke up my tablet would be off and I'd have to force reboot it. I woke up today and it didn't turn on at all, I brought it to the wall and plugged it in and instead the LED flashed. Nothing I did fixed the issue, I'm really worried, what do I do?
Nevermind...
phew. Seems that the battery ran completely zero for that to happen. I'm gonna look into the not starting up thing, I believe it's the kernel.
My 6P on 6.0.1 stock with the march update has had occasional times where it will intermittently charge, then stop, then charge endlessly, changing back and forth about once a second or more often. There's been times I've woken up, like today overnight when I noticed it barely inched up a percent or two on the Google USB-C cable connected to my laptop.
To isolate this from being a defective cable issue, this has also happened with the Google charger that came with the phone. I would see the screen turn on in fact, like when you first plug the phone with the screen off, to indicate charging has begun. That would occur every few seconds.
I'm a little concerned. The time it happened with the charger, a reboot seemed to have calmed it down. But today no matter the restart, the charging just keeps cycling nonstop.
Anyone else had this? Would it be wise to file a problem with the Google forums and contact support?
Thanks for any help!
Same problem here
Dang, good to know I'm not alone!
I've also experienced higher battery drain (twice more I'd say) than normal recently. Even overnight when I used to see hourly drain rates of 0.5%, now I see 1.5% and higher. Getting worried the charging issue may be damaging the battery. But it could also be the patch or a rogue app.
I have the same issue - it started about 3 days ago
Well either the cords bad, the brick is bad, or the receptacle. Or the charging port on the phone, the battery or power control module in the phone. Or if theirs a thick case on your phone.
Sounds like it starts to charge then stops. But I'm no electrician. Oh wait, yes I am.
It starts to charge, then stops as though the cable was disconnected, then resumes within half a second, then disconnects, and so on and so forth non stop.
Case might be a reason. It's a rubber and plastic transparent Spigen one. I'll try removing it when it happens again next time.
But at this rate, sounds like 3 people are having the same issue, and if it's a hardware one, then damn....
This isn't the charger... There is something buggy with the update. I woke up a few days ago after the march update with an almost dead phone, and the charging icon flashing over the battery, as if the phone new it was plugged in but refused to charge. I unplugged and plugged it back in with the same result. I restarted and tried again, same result. I was only able to get it to charge my plugging it into my girlfriend's nexus 5x charger, which instantly started charging my phone. I went back to my charger and all of the sudden no issue and the phone was charging fine. There is definitely something up with this update.
Well then, that makes 4 people now.
What's a good way to report this?
I'm not seeing the same exact issue as you guys, but I AM having charging issues after updating to MHC19I. I can still charge my phone from the stock charger and my other USB-C chargers, but now none of them allow my phone to charge rapidly. Do you guys who can get your devices to charge from a rapid charge compatible charger see the "Charging Rapidly" message on the lock screen? Ever since this recent update, I've noticed that my device isn't (and is taking over 2 hours to charge fully from ~20%).
I have this problem too. It's fixed by a reboot so I'm assuming it's not a hardware problem. It only happens once a week or so.
The first time it happened I didn't notice the charging/not charging and only realised something weird had happened because my phone was off & showing fully charged. My phone is never switched off.
I figured it out the next time when I noticed the screen was still on during the night. Switching from charging to not charging was keeping the screen on.
So glad it's not just me.

I normally see it say that on the USB C charger. That being said, you seem to have an intermediate speed going on, as opposed to super slow normal USB cable speeds and the USB-C fast charger. In my experience most 1-1.5V low amp ports like my Mac's, or the car's USB port will charge at a rate of about 1% per 3-5 minutes. So a full charge would take 8-9 hours from 0%. From the USB-C wall charger it would be about 1%/m so an hour and forty is enough to get it back to full.
Based on that your charger seems to be somewhere in the middle.
But yes it isn't normal. If you are using Google's native hardware, you should see the same charging speed as I am.
I'm just terribly worried this cycling is destroying my battery. I have definitely not gotten the same battery life the last few weeks.
Hey guys!
I experience sort of the same problem as you guys, but i have the Nexus 5x
i copy from my thread at google nexus forum
My phone just randomly die. It will work for like 2 hours. Almost like the battery would been disconnected.
When the phone shutdowns it says the battery is low and try to charge. The Battery icon with a flash is showing, but just for 5-7 seconds, then it shutdown again and it's looping again and again and again.... To get out of the loop i'm booting in to fast boot, then push at start. and it is almost 50/50 if it is working. It can be booting up and you see the red/yellow/green/blue yada yada boot-up sequence then in 5-7 seconds in to the sequence it would shutdown again immediately.
I tried several factory-resets. re-flashed to stock. Nothing helps.

Same issue
Just starting having this issue. It constantly says charging then a second later shows no charging and the process keeps repeating itself. I did a reset and the issue seems to be resolved for now. Really hope this isn't a constant issue. Definitely appears to be software related though.

I hadn't had it for a while then recently it happened again once. I still don't know what triggers it for sure.
The battery drain is also rather random. There are days I can expect the unit to idle and drain at or below 2%/h, but lately it just goes through it way faster, twice that. I am unsure why and how that happens so randomly. Seems the Google Play Services and Google Apps are using up some %s. Not much else I can identify.
I've had this issue since a few days ago, restarted the phone and it's come right for now.
Haven't experienced this in weeks now.
Seems largely gone.
Any updates on this? My Nexus 6P started showing the same symptoms (either won't charge at all, or charging cycles on and off rapidly (< 1 second) and only sometimes charges). The issue appeared out of the blue 4-5 days ago, just before the 1 year anniversary of receiving the phone. I tried different cables and adapters, still no change. Last night at 11pm it was at 50% when I set it to charge and it seemed to charge. This morning at 6:30 am it had only charged up to 83% and was charging on and off. Worried about how to reliably use the phone if it won't charge, and also how this might affect the battery / other circuitry.
Any help/tips appreciated!
Edit: The phone hasn't been dropped or had any other issue that may affect the hardware. Also, no OS update or anything recently (AFAIK - it did not ask me to install anything, not sure if there were any silent updates). It is currently on Android 7.0 Nougat (baseband version angler-03.72, build NBD90X, security patch level Oct 5, 2016).
Have not had this in a long time. It sort of stopped on its own. :S
Solved (for me anyways)
I just had to restart the device.
I'm having the same issue on my LG G5. Started out of the blue and like others, restarting temporarily solves the problem. Anyone solve this yet?
