Charger issue

I haven't seen anyone else complain about this, so it might just be a small defect or isolated incident.
I always charge my phone during the night while I sleep and just recently woke up to find the phone only at ~70%. For some reason the AC adapter seems to be malfunctioning. Since the issue has started, I managed to get it to charge to full one night, but the rest of the time it seems to stop charging. It recognizes it being plugged in initially but then it pops up with the notification saying that the charger has been unplugged. I've tried reconnecting both connectors which will sometimes get it to start charging for 15-30 seconds before it shows as disconnected again.
It works fine via USB connected to a computer so I can only assume it's an issue with the wall adapter. I'm not sure if there's much I can do if it is an issue with the adapter but wanted to see if anyone had any ideas that would be worth trying before I give up on the adapter. Also wondering if anyone else has had this happen.

I don't have that problem. Call and get it replaced. All you news is a USB AC adapter.

Have you checked the socket you are plugging the charger into? Have you tried a different wall socket or socket on the power strip?

Are you using a Motorola brand wall outlet and usb? I was using an aftermarket cable and had this issue. So I got a branded cable and now it's fine

i had same issues
my atrix would only charge also to 70% so i was about to return it. i forgot that it also came with a stand alone battery charger to charge just the battery. charged it and then put it on my atrix and said 100% again. hope this helps..

Yeah get the wall socket and make sure that's not the problem. Also I can't imagine it being the cable I use a 15 foot after market cheapo cable I got off newegg for like 3 bucks and it charges my phone all the way and I don't even use the wall adapter moto gave me I use some random one that's for one of my old phone or my nikon camera I don't remember. Also moto cable is crap it doesn't let me use adb doesn't seem to push enough power to my phone.
But thats just my 2 cents

[Q]Defy Charging Problem

Hi I've got a problem with my phone. If I connect it to the PC using orginal USB cable it charging, transfering data and so. But if I connect the phone to the wall charger it don't charge only screen wake up but no charging on battery icon. The wall charger is orginal too. I've tried changing ROMs.
This problem is really anoying so if You can, please help me.

You write you use the original charger, but do you also use the original USB cable? It matters, cheap USB cables do not work on the Defy :-(

seems some problem in wall socket adaptor

Got to check that out, cause I've been wondering why I can charge my Defy+ in some wall chargers, some computers, and so far no car chargers. Would be great if the cables are the cause. Thanks

I use the orginal usb cable too

There's nothing wrong with your phone, ROM, or USB cable, but your wall charger is broken.
Just get your charger replaced. That's what warranties are for.
The Defy doesn't really care about USB cables. If it's switched off it will charge anyway, so the ROM doesn't matter either. But it's very picky about the current and voltage stability of the charger. That's why many 3rd party chargers don't work no matter what cable you plug into it.

I was in non-official phones service and they check charging on another adaptors but i think they were not original. Anyway as i remember when lastly phone was charging it was a storm and on the next day it wasn't working but i'm not sure.

I know this thread is old but i didn't find solution to this problem, soooo:
The answer is = turn off debugging over USB

So why when I turn it on i have problems with charging?
Bug?

if u use External charger u must charge ur phone with mcgyver for 10 min.
after that use the External charger.
becaz ur battery so low.

Charging Issue
I got the same problem from the day i bought the mobile... The service center people told its charger issue and need to replace the charger. So Changed the wall charger under warranty. It took around 2 months to get my charger back. But the things are same. It sometime charge. Sometimes the screen will on and didnt charge. I tried changing different Versions. Same thing. Even the service center people have no idea about it....

Could you check if the micro-usb connector of the phone or that of the cable is clean, dirt and dust reduces or prevents transfer rate of electricity.

need quick help please defy wont charge

Hey guys I am hoping someone can assist me. This morning when I woke up my defy would not charge. I have tried charging via my pc, ps3, and 3 wall chargers and it refuses to charge. The battery is at a very low state (around 7 percent). I am afraid if I call tmobile and/or bring it to their store and they look at it im screwed because im running CM9.
The phone is still under warranty for another few weeks, do I just chance it at this point and hope it has enough juice to flash the USA SBF and then go for warranty options or is there a fix for this?
EDIT: silly me, cant flash a SBF because my pc doesnt know my phones connected

did u try to use other usb cable ?
maybe the problem is the usb cable .

Yes all 3 chargers had different cables. My wife's LG marquee is charging fine on them

is it odd that without a battery in the phone I can wiggle the usb charger and my phone will boot into CM7? I thought it was odd, I kind of find it out on accident
EDIT heres the deal I can wiggle the usb end that plugs into the phone itself without a battery, and the red M logo comes up and will boot into CM7. At any time if disconnect the usb during this process, the phone turns off, If I leave the usb plugged in it continues to work. Anyone have an idea as to whats going on? It seems like it must be getting a signal from the usb cord

my friend, if you have an earlier complete recovery just boot into recovery mode the restore it. i can confirm that will solve your problem as i encountered the same problem before.
try to use an original usb cable.

Defy wont charge from wall charger but ...

it can charge from usb....
Hi everyone I have a motorola defy, and yesterday night it wouldnt charge. I tried using my charger and my friends charger. But using both chargers the defy doesnt reconize it. I know it isnt hardware because I never dropped it and i used can air to blow out all the dust. I am using USB to charge right no, but its really annoying, does anyone know a way to fix it to charge like usual. Also on the top of my defy there is this LED notification light that is green/red when im connected to USB
Edit.
I reformatted to cyanogenmod 7.2 but it does not fix my problem....
i WAS using cyanogenmod 7.1 before when this happened should i include kernal number?

[Q] Charging on AC but shows USB

Initially my phone started to charge slow since a week with the original charger and cable came with N4 in the box. I googled and got to check in the battery settings as if it shows AC or USB. Its showing USB and charging quite slow. I flashed yesterday factory image after deleting everything but still it shows as USB.
One more thing, when i connect the charger it shows AC and after a few seconds it says USB and sticks to it.
After connecting the charger it acts as the charger is powered on and off 3-4 times whereas i dont turn the power off/on.
Any help.

Happens to me as well. I even got a new USB cable from Flipkart and tried with other chargers. Same thing happens. I googled enough for this and find no feasible solutions.

It seems to be a hardware issue. but the weird things is it initially recognizes as AC but then after few seconds change to USB.
Further, after pinning the cable, phone reacts as the power is on-off-on-off 3-4 times.
Please help.

It might be a defective cable. I had the same thing happen to me (oem cable and charger), but changing the cable solved it for me. Pretty poor build quality if you ask me

i was using the original USB cable that came with the phone and experienced the same issues. after changing the USB cable it is fixed for me.

i can confirm that it is the cable. just go buy a new one but have in mind that you need a quality cable. the reason is that the usb 2 standard outputs about 1 amp, so most cable is designed with that in mind. the nexus 4 charger output is 1.2 amp so if the charger cannot output 1.2 amp it outputs lower amp thus the connection with the charger is recognized as usb. if you go and buy a quality cable then you will have no problems. i just use the cable of my old phone (optimus black ) and it works like a charm. another cable that i have make the usb thingy.
the lg cable of nexus 4 and all the new lg's is ****. it break down very easily. a friend of mine bought an lg g pad 8.3 and the cable died the 4 time that he used it!!!
P.S. when i say quality cable i don't mean a 30 euroes or dollars cable. i mean a cable by a known brand and not an ebay 1 euro cable. that didn't worked for me. if i knew a brand of cable that worked i would but i use an old lg cable
hope i helped

This happens to me as well but I don't think it is the cable. When mine started charging slowly & on USB with the official one I bought one that was made by Amazon which was fine for a while but then it changed to USB charging

If you have a custom kernel that supports forcing AC charging, give that a try. I think the latest Hells Core/Doctor kernels offer that feature. Unless this feature is on, my phone thinks my car charger is a USB charger. It might be, I'm not sure, but I know that the kernel has a feature to override this recognition and extract the full average from the adapter (in my case, 1A).

I bought the nexus charger off of Google.com and now it always shows charging (AC) and it charge at a good speed
