I have a stock standard defy. Haven't made any modifications to it. It must be about a year old now. When it was a few months old it just refused to be charged. I sent it in to be checked out under warranty but they found nothing wrong with it and out of no where it started charging again and has done since then... Until now. It's started not charging again :/ does absolutely nothing when plugged into the wall but when plugged in USB on pc it doesn't charge but LED is white.
Any ideas what could be wrong with it and how do I fix it? Battery is under 10% so won't last much longer.

So I had an unusual experience with my G1 and I though I would share it with the forum for feedback or to possibly help someone else out.
I come from the winmo community and recently purchased a Cliq xt. Without a root method and stuck on 1.5 I picked up a cheap used G1 to play with. I was told the phone was a few years old. I rooted the phone and installed CyanogenMod 5.0.8.
I soon noticed my battery was not holding a charge and immediately ordered 2 1400mah batteries off Ebay. I got the batteries, fully charged one and let it completely drain. When I went to plug the phone back in to charge it up it would not charge. The only way the phone would boot up was if it was plugged in (to the usb or wall charger). From what I read I gathered that if I got a unit to charge the batteries out of the phone I would still be able to use the phone. I charged a battery and put it in the phone. Still the phone will not turn on. Oh well my G1 died, I'll just buy one with a broken screen and swap them out.
By the time I found a broken G1 on CL my original G1 sat for 4-5 days with the fully charged battery in it. When I went to start dissecting the phones I noticed my old G1 was on and running. WTF? Battery level was at 18%. I plugged the phone into the wall charger. It indicated it was charging. I turned the phone off and on and fully charged it over night. I have been using the phone for the entire day and the battery life is as good as a G1 gets.
Everything I have read about the not charging/turning on issue indicated that the mother board was bad in the phone. Yet my phone displayed those same symptoms and started working again.
Thoughts?
Yea it happend to me too.
You just need to pull the battery for 5 minutes and put it back in. I think its because the CM6 builds overclock it to 576mhz (higher then rated 528mhz) and that causes issues like this.
not as magical as I thought. Thanks for the reply.
I had this as well and when I removed battery and put back in I noted that the battery level had flipped from in the red to the equivalent of in the green... this was before i even rooted my phone... possible software issue perhaps?

Almost certainly bad hardware. My first i9000 had a problem with charging, so they just swapped it for another.
Take it in and try another.
i am not really into it and it could be absolutely nonsense xD sry if so
could it be that your charger is only for ~220-240V and you are trying to charge it in a country with ~110V

i have usb way to charge it>>no diffrents!
I have a plugin charger & a USB charger. When I plug my USB charger, it charges quite fast. But with the wall charger, there seems to be a problem. I discovered that my daughter had tried to push it in the wrong way & has bent the pins way too little. Now, when I have to use the wall charger, I need to shift the phone a few times for it to connect. Is it possible to bend the pins INSIDE your phone socket? Is that why it isn't connecting properly?
always the phone is showing charging so no way for desconnectiing the charger or the pin inside
Don't know if this is your problem but the charger that came with my phone was very slow, it would take about 6 hours to do a full charge. I bought one off the internet designed for a blackberry and it charges my phone in 2 hours now.
Ok so i have been experiencing some odd issues with my micro usb port, started one morning i awoke to find my phone dead(had plenty of battery for the night) and it would not take a charge from any of my chargers wall/usb/car. After messing with it for a hour or so i got it to take a charge from one of my 6 wall chargers, it would not charge from a regular car charger or usb at that point. As the day progressed it finally started charging on usb/wall chargers but not a car charger. It also would say its charging when i would unplug the cable, animation and everything, it would take many reboots to stop that. Since this happened(week ago) i have flashed just about every rom/kernel combo trying to pinpoint the issue to no avail. The issue happened again this morning, wouldnt charge, then when it did i unplugged it and it was still showing it charging, also it said fully charged at 85% and the screen was doing this crazy flicker while plugged in..anyway im pretty sure the micro usb port itself is taco'd, anyone else experience these symptoms or have problems with usb port? from the little info ive found they are pretty bomb proof on the ns....
tuff out there on them streets today
My sons phone started doing the exact same thing yesterday, tho his is not a Nexus S it had the same exact symptoms. Went to Tmo for a warranty replacement and will be here tomorrow. Definitely a messed up USB/charging port.

Hey guys,
I was charging my note 4 with the adaptive fast charging today, and when I reached about 73% it stopped charging. The brick (plug) was bricked. Did not show any charging, thought it was my cable so i changed the cable around, but no success so I used a different charger (non adaptive fast charger) to charge it, which did work.
Upon discovering this I contacted Samsung and was told that non of my retail stores had any replacements in stock. Now i must wait for them to get a shipment of the order.
My questions are:
1. What could have caused this? My charger is only less than 2 months old.
2. Would using alternative chargers harm the battery or the phone?
Thanks in advance

Firstly, this should have been posted in the Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Answers to your question:
1. Could be anything, from faulty charger out of the box but was working for a bit, to bad power socket, to lightning strike.
2. Using alternative charger won't harm your phone or battery. Maybe just untick Fast Charging when using other chargers.
Same issue

I had the same issue..the fast charger just wont charge my Note 4. Got the adapter and cable replaced. They didnt hve it in stock, had to wait a week. ..used the normal charger till them. Normal charger did its job, but took bit longer compared to the fast charger.
burning car charger, Note 4
I just purchased my Note 4, swapped out my sim and then connected it to my Belkin cigarette lighter/USB car charger.
5 minutes later travelling down a freeway ,when smoke started to pour out. I yanked out the chord and
still managed to burn myself with it. 2 weeks later I really needed to charge my phone while camping
thinking/hoping it was my old chargers fault. I also turned off fast charge and it blew my car's fuses and it got
super hot again within seconds. Is this normal. Do I need to know which USB's I can use and where?
Or is my phone busted?
just use a wireless qi charger. it avoids all these issues and no wires to worry about.
fast charging is bad for your phone and battery anyway.
So I cant charge my phone while I drive?
just get a wireless qi car charger cradle.
Has anybody used one of these?
Before I buy one I was wandering if anyone has used one and if its any good?

Hi all.
This morning I woke up as usual and tried to unplug my phone from the charger with one hand. It didn't un plug.
I had to force unplug because charger plug melted inside the phone usb port.
A black smoke came out from the charger plug
The result is an unusable nine months old phone, a burned out night stand, and its original cable (with original charger) completely melted inside the phone.
It's a luck it happened in the morning.
I see someone else did already have the same issue.
LG shoud think about it. Maybe there is a defective stock of cables that should be checked and replaced.
Cheers,
David.
PS I cannot post images, its a long time i do not enter here and my account did not exist anymore
So now i'm a newbie again!!!!
Private message to me and i'll send you the images.
I just bought mine last November 2016 and I'm aware of this issue before i got my phone. Since i got mine, i didn't attempt to charge it overnight because of this issue. I just charge my phone while i'm preparing to get to work and by the time i'm ready to go out (which takes me 30 mins to prepare) as nexus 5x has quick charge capability which is really fast, from 15% to 85% in just 35-40 mins.
Although phones should be really handle the charging limit once the battery hits 100%, but i think the charger (which has a 3.0A) can't do this. Do you still have your warranty up? its better to send your phone to LG with the charger and they might issue you a new phone.

Actually, you shouldn't care about time charging. When phone is fully charged, the charger should turn off or not charge the phone.
It's more than ten years I charge devices in the night. Never ever happened a thing like this.
I'm curious what LG will answer to me......
I also charge my previous phone (Sony Xperia Z3 Compact) every night and plugged it out in the morning. But When i heard that Nexus 5x has this issue, i just charge my phone before i go in the office, since i'm fully utillizing its fast charging feature.
I already read some thread here and there are some particular model of chargers that doesn't pass some test.
My charger model is: DONGDO (MCS-N04ED)
My Phone Unit: LG-H791
It happened to my phone before, with the usb a to c cable from Google, I charged it from a notebook usb port, and soon after, I smelled some plastic burning. The device was unplugged, and the phone charge normally with another cable over usb or with a wall socket. I called Google and they are willing to exchange for a new cable
I charge mine every night for a year with stock charger and never had problems

Maybe this issue is isolated only for some specific unit. what's your device model?
