I just got my charger yesterday and it doesn't seem to charge properly. I put it on and it'll charge maybe 10% then stop. Take it off and put it back on the charger and it won't start charging unless I unplug the cable from the back of the orb and plug it back in. This is very inconvenient and I'm wondering if the orb just sucks or is it just mine? Please give me input if you have the official wireless charging orb.
Also I've only tried on the 2 latest releases of Paranoid android rom with their kernel as well as Faux latest one. Gonna flash something closer to stock and let it run over night and see what happens

Forget it. Just use the standard usb cable to charge. It's a waste of $70. It's a nice accessory to have but what the heck.
Can't do it lol. Love the concept. Am I really the only one having that problem?

I dont have this issue, knock on wood. Mine charges to 99%, then slowly to 100% and then stops the LED, I turn the screen on to see the % and its charging again.
I am not sure how the LED's are displayed, does the LED off mean its done charging and is on battery now?
In either case, Once I see its at 100% and the LED is off, i remove it from the orb, it soon drops to 99%, 98% but stabilizes.
Ya I don't have that issue , mine charges to 100 then stops drops down to 98 then starts charging agn to 100... If I was u I would install factory IMG get it 100% stock and see what happens if u get same results , ID send in for warranty , i like the orb but hate how its not recognized as a charging dock, Romanbb ( aokp) is writing code to change this tho
I THINK ! Franco kernel causes a extra wake lock but not sure actually testing now with stock kernel will test Franco agn tomorrow. only issue I'm having but it works either way
Thanks for the input guys. Gonna go to stock and see what happens

Rule #1: Go back to stock.
Rule# 2: RMA it.
Ive had no issues with two phones and 3 of these chargers (one nekkid, another in a case) but everything about my setup is bone-stock.

I had the same issue until some bright person told me that the wall plug was a different ampage than the wall plug that came with the N4. 1.2 amps as opposed to 1.8. This made the difference to the problem you are having for me. What are you using in the socket?
Unfortunately the problem I am having now with this Orb (and another Qi wireless charger that I purchased as I thought the Orb was faulty) is that the N4 will turn off n the middle of the night. Not good when you are relying on the alarm clock!!!
In using the cable and plug that orb came with. Which are you using? The cable and plug that the phone came with? And that's fixed your issue except for the turning off?

I had the SAME exact thing happen! One day I thought, hey, let's switch the charging puck and see if it helps, sure enough it did, and I haven't had the problem since. So, try another puck, the one included with the Orb could be defective, like mine was.

Same thing happened to me recently. It was working, but now mine will charge about 10% and then stop. The only way to get it working again is to reset the power on it either by unplugging the plug or the usb cable. By charging puck, you mean the black plug that connects to the outlet and the other end of the usb cable?

Having the same issue when wireless charging suddenly stops.
Taking the phone from the charger and putting it back restores charging for a while.

why when you plug the phone up to charge the touchscreen goes nuts can this be fixed with a software update?
edit:wrong section please move
you are using a different charger from the one recieved from the phone or you are using some old and faulty usb port from a computer.. These problems are reported in the Apps and themes section actually the wrong place 2

Sounds like either your cord or your phone has a problem. I'd exchange them while you can.

There's no problem with your phone, software or hardware. The problem you are experiencing is from the usb port not providing correct voltage that the phone need. Use the cord with the provided wall charger will not give you this problem.
Same thing happened to all 4 of my touch screen phones when used with some third party chargers or low voltage usb ports.

That's pretty strange. It sounds like the circuit in your living room has more noise in the power, but usually a DC charger should reduce that enough.

I plugged in an eBay cheapo charger and screen's touch goes all wonky on me too.
no software can fix what is clearly a voltage issue coming from either your charger or the source that your charger is plugged into. Had the same issue last night on a walmart charger but when I use the provided usb cable in a decent usb port or the wall charger provided by samsung, the problem goes away. I would steer clear of using the problematic charger/usb cable/wall outlet to prevent possible long term damage to your device.

I noticed it happens when I have two plugs in my wall. So this is my outlet? How am I suppose to charge my device then? I REALLY want this device and do not wan't to return it because of the power issue. This didn't happen to my G1, im guessing because it used up less power?
Same thing happened to me so i took it back to BB and exchanged it. Its the phone. Go ahead and exchange it.

This does not happen when I plug it into my pc can you explain that? Also I'm not going through the hassle of returning the phone again just to have the same problem occur because it is not my phone.
My nexus so far seems great but i have this issue and idk if its a defect or idk? When i go to charge my phone with the stock AC adapter and even a HTC adapter it starts charging on AC then sometimes switches to USB and charges slower. And I have to like plug it in and out a few times for it to finally catch as AC its super annoying and my GNex never had that issue. And when i want to use the phone on AC the Charge Drops significantly sometimes discharging and im not even doing anything intensive. Does anyone have this issue? Is it a problem with the USB cable maybe? Or do you think this is a defect? Because its about to be 14 days and i dont have much left to get an RMA cause its what im considering and if I need it i dont have 380 dollars in my bank account either if i do need it so idk how that would work. Any help would be appreciated Thanks!
It lowers the incoming current, by dropping to usb charge, to help keep the battery cooler. They seem to be really trying to keep the battery temp down on this thing.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.
Really? Do you know the temps? Or does anyone? Cause sometimes it changes to USB after plugging it in for like 5 mins and i wouldnt think it gets that hot that quick. And when i finally get the AC to seem to stick the temps go up to 30-35 degrees celcius as normal and im getting around 850mah and it doesn't drop to usb charging it just drops current sometimes mainly when im using it obviously. So idk if it really is what you say or maybe someone could elaborate more?
I just want to get to the bottom of this issue so to know if i need to get an RMA :/
I forgot to mention that it also seems to randomly switch between AC/USB/UNPLUGGED really fast sometimes and i have to unplug and replug to get a charge I have no idea why.. I really want to know if its a software issue or hardware. Thats my main concern.
Woww this makes sense Ive been trying to figure out why this freaking thing was taking so long to charge. this reminds me of the galaxy s and how long that thing took. hopefully this is a software bug and they can get this thing worked out

I have that same problem with the charger that came in the box.once it goes to USB it take forever to charge but when I use the charger from my gnex it stays on ac and charges really fast not once does it goes to USB.so I tried the N4 charger on my HTC thunderbolt and gnex and both would go into USB mode and charge really slow.

For what it's worth, my Nexus 4 *NEVER* charges in an AC mode using the OEM charging plug, regardless of which power point / cable I use with it. And to charge from 'critical' to 100% took about 7 hours last night. Wtf.
It's been RMA'd as I don't believe this to be correct behaviour. Perhaps also related, the USB computer connection has stopped working. It'll charge via USB but won't connect to any computer.

Hmm so did you use the Gnex charger like the USB cable and AC adapter? Cause ive just used the ac adapters with the N4 Lg USB cable. It makes me think that the USB cable is **** to. I need to find another USB to test this out.

Yep, tried a whole bunch of different power sockets, usb charger plugs and cables. Still screwed. The more I read, the more its obvious that the devices behaviour isn't correct.
You should send it back because mine charges fine. It takes 2-3 hours to charge mine to full from empty. I'm using the charger and USB cable that came with the phone.
I'm actually facing the same thing, I slept for 3 hours and woke up to my phone being only 60% charged. I tried plugging it in and out a couple of times, and now its back to AC and not switching to USB anymore.
In using Franco kernel and even enabling USB fast charge doesn't keep it from showing USB.

And i just got my RAVpower external battery and that usb has all the pins and i tried to charge my phone with the lg brick and the ravpower usb and it seems to charge fine goes to ac every time. So im really wondering if its the LG USB that i got and it being faulty or not. I need to get another USB to test this out. Cause i dont want to swap out an entire phone for just a usb..
I've noticed mine charges as USB when using the stock LG charger. I had put it down to the 3 metre USB cable it was attached to, but I guess it's just a pants charger.
I just started having the same problem since Sunday. Had the phone for 2wks now. I had the same problem with my gs2. I really don't like these adaptor charger now a days.

We'll see.. I suggest direct wall charger instead of those USB adaptor that come with phones now.

Surprisingly the problem appeared suddenly, one day it charged normally , the next day i left it on charge at 60% and returned to find it on 59%.. help me .. this is driving me crazy

Search in the forum people have fixed it many times u have top open up your tablet and dc/rc yout battery.
]I too have this same issue....
I have the official dock and never had any charge issues until yesterday....
While it's in the dock, it clearly shows it charging and yet the battery meter appears to be losing charge...
I have tried with the original cable and plug among other cables and yet nothing...
The only way for me to get charged is to turn the unit off and yet it still charges painfully slow...
Anyone with a solution other than opening the thing up and hoping it's the plug?
I am running 4.4.2
Mine's having the same problem. It seems to be a hardware problem.. It's charging very slowly or can't be fully charged.
* I have other devices running 4.4 without charging problems.
Mine started with the 4.4.2 update....
It's very strange... If I turn it off and charge... it charges (again) very slowly.... 3 hours and I went from a 2% charge to 59%...
Doesn't matter if I use the dock or plug it in direct.....
So, to me... I would say a software problem... I just don't want to do a full reset and re-install if I don't have too...
my wife's was all the way dead today after not being used and wouldn't turn on. left it plugged in for 30 min and it powered on with only 2% battery. i t is stock unrooted and everything was all good until 4.4.2 is now charging very slowly. I switched to a non oem usb wire with the asus charger to see if it helps. it is the only stock android in my home (out of 7 devices) and I plan to keep it that way for now.

N7 is very easy to open and close back.
I had the EXACT same issue 2-3 times this year and disconnecting the cable and reconnecting it back fixes it EVERY TIME.
The battery cable is short and the battery is loose so movement pulls the cable out. Not all pins are touching so it results in poor contacts or no contact at all.
Its a design flaw that can also be fixed by sticking a folded paper under the battery.
Voilà!

Tried unplugging and replugging but it's still the same. I think it's my charging connector though. It randomly disconnects when I plug it into the PC. Tried with 3 different cables even the stock one. But I'm not sure if it's the port or the battery. It charges up to < 60 slowly but it doesn't go beyond that and starts draining. Thinking of selling it and getting a flo instead

Just a thought, but another possibility is that the ribbon cable to the USB/headphone jack flex assembly has worked loose to the point of intermittent connections. See "step 10" of iFixit's N7 teardown
Or, if the connector itself is mechanically damaged, maybe there is some way to buy just that Asus sub-assembly. Anyone have a source?

Edit - wow, folks are selling them on eBay for US $50. yikes.
I have the same problem, I purchased a nexus 7 charging dock from Amazon and it charges flawlessly. The dock charges using the 4 pins on the side of the tablet. BTW...The charging dock is under 24.00+ Shipping.

i always plug my note 3 into the wall charger every night when i sleep, last night it just didnt charge and i woke up to 5 percent charge, i plugged the phone into my car charger and the phone just died, and then didnt charge on the car charger, i plugged it into the computer at my work it charged very very slowly, only about 17 percent i brought it back home and plugged it back into the official samsung charger and it just wouldnt charge the charge percentage would stay the same. i have it hooked upto my laptops usb 3.0 charger and it is slowly charging and i have turned it off
i dont understand how this could have happened, i didnt do anything to it didnt install any new software, didnt drop the phone or the wall charger
i got this phone hardly two months ago, the wire seems alright and the wall plug also looks fine dont know whats going on, help!
I have updated to kitkat and the phone seems to be charging but not charging invert the laptop could it be the official wire is faulty?

Try using a USB 2.0 cable from another charger on the official charger and charge another phone. This is to check whether your charger has issues.
It's quite hard to test if the USB 3.0 cable works or not as you may or may not have another device with USB 3.0. But if you do, try it.
If these problems still persist, you should go to Samsung warranty and claim it. This shouldn't happen, and you wouldn't want to risk having it blow up in your face during your slumber. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencet...ing-angry-customer-uploads-Youtube-video.html

LOL they wouldn't need to check the phone to see if the charger/cable is defective sir.
The only thing they would need to check is if your phone is defective, then they will need to see that 0x1 flag you tripped, and then would ask you to go elsewhere.
Same thing has been happening to me after updating to kitkat (BTU) stock unrooted: Sometimes it won't charge until I reboot, then charges normally. I highly doubt this is a cable issue as it is a near new device..

Same thing has been happening to me after updating to kitkat (BTU) stock unrooted: Sometimes it won't charge until I reboot, then charges normally. I highly doubt this is a cable issue as it is a near new device..

Wiping cache in recovery has - at least for now- solved the issue, time will tell

Try switching the phone off and then plug it in to the various sources and see if it charges and at what speeds.

Okay I have some funny information. I have the official Samsung cable and wall charger and my wife's iPhone wall charger. I turned the phone off and tried charging through the wall outlet. It failed. It would give a short vibration at regular intervals as if it's trying to initialise charging but failing. The screen would also try to turn on but wouldn't. This was happening with both wall chargers. I then connected this off phone with my laptop using the same cable and it started charging. Albeit extremely slowly

Screams defective unit to me..
Laptop USB's charge devices slowly no matter what, as the power output is much less than the wall charger.
If you can grab an extra battery and try with that, it would be your final hope.
Seems like a battery issue.
Try another one.
Hopefully that will fix it. If it doesnt, then the problem would be the motherboard and that would put you in deep water.

I had the same with mine. My phone charged unregulary, mostly only up to 70%, then stopped charging. When plugged in to my iBolt xprodock it charged sometimes, but never triggered the car-dock-mode as usual, no audio output through USB as designed., All other functions of the Phone operated fine
So I went to Samsung service center, they checked the charger and cable, all fine. Then they checked the phone and came back with "a flash module is broken", charging electronic, motherboard defect.
By the way, my phone was on stock 4.4.2 German rom, rooted, custom recovery and Knox triggered. No problem for the service center! But now they send it to Samsung, because they are not allowed to change the mainboard.
I am really curious whether Samsung repairs or will refuse warranty. I am from Germany and the phone should be covered by the warranty by law, I am optimistic, because searching the web did not show a single case of rejecting warranty here in Germany due to triggered Knox. Lets see, I keep you updated. :good:

Do you think I should try the service centre near me as well? Maybe get lucky? Or is there no chance

I think so, give it a try. What bad should happen?
have you tried rebooting the phone first?
I remember when I had my s3, on rare occasions it would not charge, it would show that its charging but wouldnt charge, after a reboot all would be fine.

Rebooted many times man. Now the only decent charging I can get done is off the wall plug while the phone is off
Charly-whiskey thinking of going to the nearest centre next week fingers crossed

You should definitely go and ask. Worst case, they will refuse warranty. But at least they will confirm what the problem is.
I just received my Note 4 today and everything is working OK except when I charge it the screen comes on every couple of minutes and it makes a pinging sound, no LED comes on. Is this normal and if it isn't, is there any setting that I have wrong?
When charging i alway see led show red so i think your device is not charge. Is your note charging normally or not?

I had the same thing, make sure to use the Samsung charger or a high quality charger of at least 1.8A. I bought an import phone that came with a generic charger that suited my wall socket, it would charge for a few mins then the screen came on and I heard the ding sound as though it was taken off charge. I went and bought a universal adapter and now using Samsung charger all is well, it is possible your charger is faulty even if using original.

Thanks for the info. I was using a charger that came with another phone and the screen kept coming on and off. I got the original charger out of the box and started using that and all is well. As for the LED, it seems that I had turned it off hoping that was the cause of my screen coming on during charging, I changed that setting back to the original and the LED is working again.
