Hi ppl.
I need a little help, when i charge my G1 into the android OS they have a longggg!!!!!!! time to charge, when i shutdown the phone they charge quickly, i try to clear the battery stats into recovery and flashed others roms but not work i try to make a new calibration but not work too, this is normal? or not?
sorry for my english and thx for the help.
the reason your phone charges faster when its off is because it is not being used
this is completely normal
i wish i could reply in Portuguese but it's against the rules PM me if you still don't understand
No need, i got it, thx man cheers....
BE CAREFUL!! idk if the same thing is happening to u that happened to me but I had a similar issue.
The only charging method I had was via USB, so when I went on vacation I had to bring something to charge it(since there were no computers) so I took a USB brick thing-a-ma-bob which you connect to the wall and has a usb slot on the top. I mean, its just a usb it wont do any harm, right? WROOONNNG it completely messed up my battery!! now its ALWAYS at 99% no matter how long I charge it, and it ALWAYS turns off randomly after a couple minutes of use.
I kinda doubt that little usb charger was the problem, maybe it was just the batterys time to die, but if you did something like that then it probably was the usb thing. I bought a new battery on ebay for $0.99 and when it arrives im only going to charge on my computer with the phone on

You need to make sure it's putting out the same amount of power as your regular charger. I'm not 100% sure of this, as all I can do is charge at my computer and I have no idea how that works (as in if computer puts out waaay more power or has a limit of how much to put out) but I've always heard too much can be a bad thing for batterys. Also, don't overcharge.
My problems started yesterday. When connecting the charger, the TAB just maintained the battery level and it goes into USB mode. No charging.
After trying a couple of things, I found out that it does charge when I turn the TAB off.
Trying to connect it to KIES. It shows up as unrecognized device.
Same charging problem. Charges while off, but just maintaining while one.
This made me think it was a FW problem, so I did a hard reset.
Didnt fix the problem. And if that isn't enough, the recovery mode doesn't work. I get it to boot into recovery mode, but choosing factory reset or data wipe only gives me the green droid + exclamation mark.
Any thoughts?
TL;DR: Charging works while off, doesn't work while on. Factory reset didn't fix the problem.
EDIT: I was trying to install the JMA fw, but it wouldn't connect with Odin 1.7. Still not recognized.
Hi,
i have the same problem with the charging but i don't how fix it.
As far as the charging goes are you using the supplied charger?
I have tried different USB chargers and some put the tab into USB mode and don't charge the tab.
I'm presently using a garmin-asus 1amp USB charger and is works fine.
I'm using the original charger samsung, when the tablet is off the charging works but when the table is on the charging does not increase or increase only by 1-2 percentage points.
Sounds to me like your tab is failing. Get back to your original firmware and take it back. Pretend you are a noob and you know nothing happened, and there you go, you got yourself a new tab.

Im actually on original firmware ;P Im working at the store, so getting a new one isn't a problem. It's my gfs tab, and she doesn't want to part with it just before christmas. I'm just hoping I could fix this myself. Gonna try another charger and another cable today.
EDIT: Today, it suddenly started charging again.
And it's back to not charging. I'll send it in on warranty service in 2011.
I should clarify the title by saying that trying to charge this phone is resulting in a number of odd results.
So firstly, I've tried using the wall-mounted AC charger. I then tried using USB on my computer, in 3 different usb ports. The phone was charging perfectly less than 24 hours before this problem began.
I plugged it in as per usual, and it didn't show the little lightning bolt on the batter icon like it should. It wasn't registering that it was plugged in. I tried plugging it into my PC, and it wasn't showing that it was connected via USB. In addition to that, my computer was failing to install the drivers for it. I went back to the AC charger, and tried a few different outlets, including one on a power strip. Nothing worked.
I searched online, and found that other people had this problem, and could only fix it by resetting to factory default settings. One person even had to do it twice to get it to work. So I did this, and it still didn't work. I tried charging my old phone with this Ac charger and cable, and it wouldn't work either. So I thought it must be a fault in the cable. So I dug up the cable (also micro-usb) for my old phone, and tried it. It worked just fine for my old phone, but my S4 still had the same problem, but with something new. It would say "Dock connected" but still not charge.
As of right now, it seems to be charging properly with my new AC mount and old usb cable, but I'm worried that this could happen again. Considering this seems to be a problem for other people too, what should I do about it? Is there some way to prevent this sort of thing from happening? Was it purely the other cable, given the fact that it didn't work with my old phone either? I'm on an extremely tight budget, and this phone is my only way of being contacted for job interviews, so having it in working order is very important. Any advice would be very appreciated!
Having exactly the same problem... couldn't find over the internet a solution yet or a position about it...
Affraid it's a hardware issue and have to send to the assistance...
Anyone know what to do?
Yup having the same issues - but i noticed only having charging issues when battery reaches 20% or the low battery notification pops up
it detects that a usb is connected but it wont charge
Solutions:
- dont let it go below 20 which is ****
- some people claim that if you use a 5pin charger instead of the 4pin which samsung includes solves the prob
Mine is a little more serious I think... haven't found a solution like that yet.
I have to connect/disconnect multiple times and it suddenly works.
But between those connects/disconnects it presents multiple problems, it appears on notification bar "Dock Connected", sometimes appears "Dock Connected" and on the notification bar appears "Suggested Apps (Anchoring)", other times it appears "Dock Connected" and the volume bar appears on the screen and stay there freeze (the phone works, but the bar doesn't disappear)... Sometimes the phone starts charging and suddenly stops, other times it says it's charging and if I remove the charger it keeps the charging symbol on the battery icon...
It's completely crazy, gonna take to service I guess.
Have you tried blowing out the usb connector on the phone with a can of compressed air?
If there is a minute piece of dust there it may be shorting something out - error that dock is connected. I know this happens to other phones, there was a big thread about it on the S3 forum. Might be a simple little thing like that...
Unfortunately that doesn't work for me, will send to service, let's see.
have you solved this problem and how?????

Yep, chalk up one more with the same problem!
At first I thought it had something to do with Aviate, a custom launcher from Yahoo (actually a pretty sweet one at that!)
But I guess not.
My work-around is to reboot the phone while connected. It charges fine while turned off and seems to keep charging when booting while plugged in.
Still... this is a stupid work-around and I want this fixed properly.
Any news from any of you guys?

Had this problem today. Suddenly out of nowhere "Dock is connected" message appeared after plugging the charger in and out. Tried to clean out the dock with stick and cotton on the edge. Then turned off and plugged in charger. Problem exists. Phone charges but stops regularly. It is very annoying when you dont know how to fix this kind of problem.
Any new solutions?
Right after this post, I froze the app "battery doctor 4.9.2" using Titanium Backup Pro (you can just uninstall it i guess). Then just plugged charger and now it's already Almost 90% without any interruption.

Amazing! I've dealing with this problem for weeks and internet didn't give me any good answer, but the whole problem was a baterry monitor apk that for some reason was interfiering with the charger. Thank you so much!
I had this problem too and in my case it was a hardware problem. When i start the charging it kept repeating the start proces of charging with the vibration and the grey battery icon(in case the phone was turned off). The battery icon with the green charging light just didn't showed up. I tried many things but nothing helped. I let the phone keep charging for the whole night but in the morning i saw that it didn't charged anyway!
Then i went to a local phone reparation shop(none official samsung) and they knew immediately recognized the problem and it was the usb/charging connector where you plug it in the phone. They fixed it in 1 hour for a cheap price and from then(i think a few months ago) it charges back perfectly. It seems it's a disease with S4's.
In my previous post I was happy thinking that all this charging problems were solved after uninstalling battery apk. But, in fact, my S4 charges very slowly after that incident. I have tried two other samsung adapters (galaxy s4 mini; grand prime). First one results the same (up to 5 hours charging), the latter was comparably shorter (up to 3 hours), but still slower than it used to be (2 hours normally). So I highly suspected the hardware might be the reason. Thank you for your information, now I will also have the phone checked at some local repair shop. And give feedback of course.

You probably got some water damage in your port. What you need to do is clean it. I used pure alcohol and a toothbrush for that. After that I flashed a custom kernel so I could enable fast charge true usb.
That's the reason your phone is charging slowly, it thinks it's connected true usb. So you need to boost the usb charging. After a few charge cycles I could revert back to my standard kernel and the problem was fixed.
I think ur right Lenny.
Mine S4 got wet last weekend and now i am also getting the " Dock is connected" message when i plug in the charger cable.
I can charge my phone but sometimes while charging i hear the sound go off and on what you hear when unplugging the charger.
I will try your solution and hope it will fix mine too. Thanks for posting ur tip!
I suggest you go buy a new genuine cable for an s4, the s4 does actually require a special cable capable of 2A charge rate otherwise you can end up in all sorts of bother.
Thank you all for sharing tips. I cleaned the port as suggested, then replaced my cable. Now everything is back to normal.

Same problem - galaxy s6
Hi there - same problem, on my 128gb s6. started this morning. Yesterday everything fine, would charge when connected via USB to both laptop and to regular samsung usb power unit. Have now tried 3 different USB cables including the samsung cable, 3 different usb power units and of course tried all 3 cables in laptop usb port. Have checked phone's usb port - clean as a whistle. Have rebooted both connected and unconnected. Started getting 'dock connected' message, now it just wont charge, although starts up fine. I take very good care of the phone, so no water damage or untoward shock damage (never get it wet, never drop it). Remaining battery charge seems to fluctuate between 30% and 40+ %, depending upon whether it's plugged in or not. If I turn it off, then connect usb cable, the phone just reboots, still not charging. I then turn it off and see no green battery charging screen, as I used to seen when connected but turned off. Should I just hard reset and take to repair shop? Still under warranty.
I would return the phone for a warranty repair. Software would not usually prevent the phone from charging when powered off.
As a final test, see if the s6 will charge wirelessly, assuming you have access to a qi charging pad and the s6 has a built-in qi receiver like the North American version of the s6.
Hello everyone.
So there's been a quite few roms around the last weeks enough updates and all that. I noticed that on all roms(literally all of them cm11,cm12.1,RR,MOTION ROM) I get a wakelock named msm_otg after I fully charge my phone and disconnect my charger. This wakelock disables deep sleep and doesn't let the phone sleep on screen off. Is there anyone that can confirm this and maybe we can try a fix? Only fix at the moment is to reboot the device but I don't see a reason why I should always reboot my phone after I charge it. (my device is gti9301i)

I think i read somewhere this wakelock is related to when you plug you phone to a computer. Do you charge your phone using pc?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963792
It is already known with Sprint GS3 (Snapdragon S4)
@zigbye82 nope I use stock charger :-/
The only solution, as for now, is to restart your phone after being charged.
I would suggest that you try charging using a different cable or charger and see if problem is still there. For me this wakelock is high when i charge with usb but goes away when i disconnect.

What cable/charger combination helped you? :-/
I dont have this problem. What i'm saying is when i charge my phone on pc the Msm_otg wakelock is high but it goes away when i disconnect from pc. When i charge with my charger i dont get this problem. Maybe you have a defective usb cable or charge.

Confirm! This wakelock is related to change state in the internal memory and usb state. Change the cable and check your kernel. In Cm11 and Cm12.1 there is no problem. Ive got this wakelock when using my phone like external flash drive. Don't worry
If you keep getting issues, just reboot right after unpluged the device.
Their whose attempt to resolve this in last public Samsung source. Did it work I don't know?
Recommendation goes for kernel makers along with rom maker's to disable the future on kernel side (as it's been done for CM13).
For those who would say that they need USB OTG I would say it never whose handy anyway as thanks to not power compliant USB controller QC traditionally used it requires external power source & cable with a plug for it.
Using any cable or charger won't change this! All do I admit that charging module placed in cellular modem section can be itchy (from jamming l at full charged to celullular network collapse until whole module is automatically restarted & when that fails to happen even causing kernel panic [making phone to restart]) so use quality cable's/charger.
My leeco x727 doesn't want to charge with the original brick it sometimes charges for a few minutes and then it suddenly stops and i use a different charger and it works perfect but it doesn't wanna connect to my pc. is my usb port damage?
Stock charger and cable are crap, trash, junk. Get rid of them asap before you DO damage your phone.

I'm using Amazon basic cable and a S8 charger
When I connect my phone to a new charger it charges but after I disconnect it doesn't want to charge anymore I've tried 3 different chargers all the same results
I don't have any charge issues, not using original cable though, I am using a third party cable, more reliable and durable.
This is my second x727, I lost the first one and bought a replacement, and I don't know if I'm the only one but sometimes when I leave the phone charging overnight I wake up and the phone is dead, 100% charged but dead as in black screen, not responding, phone is cool, not hot or anything, it just seems to be dead.
Even the charging led is turned off, alarms don't run and I found that the only way to fix it is to force reboot (vol down + power for like 5 seconds).
When it boots back, everything is fine, 100% charge and no errors, I've had this issue with both phones, so this suggest it is a known issue with this model.
Is this something someboy else has experienced?

Oh that, ya it used to happen way back, cant recall whether it was the firmware updating that fixed it or the rom/kernel. What rom are you on, stock?

Well I was using a custom rom bootleggers but I use qfil to reinstall stock ROM and now it's charging but extremely slow took 10 hours to charge to 100 percent
