Anyone else notice that it won't charge from a computer? (well monitor) With my Aria i ran a USB cable from my monitor at work to the phone. the monitor wasn't connected (USB) to the computer, and it would just work as a charger. Doesn't seem to work with the atrix. anyone else able to confirm?
more info. does in fact charge when connected to a computer. but due to security reasons the company does not want phones connected to the companies. That is why i was using the monitor. Going to have to look into why it doesn't work this way for this phone. or just buy a longer cable and use the wall plug.
Mines actually not charging when connected to my laptop, wall is fine. The phone recognizes that it has a usb connected, but it doesn't charge and battery state still reads as discharging.
Also wondering if this is an issue for anyone else
Mine charged extremely slow from my PC and my laptop, the wall charger does it much faster.
USB ports on a computer don't usually provide enough voltage to charge a phone as fast as they normally do when plugged into the wall. My motherboard actually has a piece of software that supposedly enables phones to charge faster when connected to a USB port, but i have yet to try such a feature.
I've had my Atrix plugged into my computer for roughly 3 hours now, and so far it's gone from 30% to 60%.
I wouldn't be the least bit concerned if it was charging slowly, it was actually lower after unplugging than it was when I plugged in, and no charge symbols appeared. But if I plugged it in the computer saw it and soon as I unplugged the message popped up saying low battery please reconnect charger, and when reconnected it went away.
But there was no charge symbol and under battery status it said discharging.
Now I just unplugged from wall charger (worked fine first time) and plugged back into laptop, its charging fine so hopefully it was a one time thing.
Ah, so thata what it is; I have had mine on here for a while now and im still at 60.
Rooted/ROM Captivate
Rooted Atrix
When i first plugged mine into my desktop computer, it wouldn't charge at all. I then installed that motosoftware that came with the phone and after it finished the phone started to charge, but very very slowly.
Every computer ive tried works fine.
But when i plug it into a wall charger(not one that came with atrix) it starts freaking out lol. "unplug to save energy!!" flash on & off 3/second...atrix charger works fine tho...lame
You need the driver off the motorola site to charge the phone from your computer.
Yea, computers work, monitors don't. I'm guessing that the USB hubs in monitors don't have enough juice, even though they did for my Aria.
If you didnt know already, this is for the LG G2. I've recently come upon this problem this morning. It was dead so i plugged it in while i got ready for school and i came back around 5 minutes later to see this message: "The connected charger is incompatible with this phone. To prevent damage to your phone, charging has been stopped. To continue charging, use the charger and cable that were provided with this phone." The thing is, it's the charger that has been provided AND it has worked before, multiple times. it only happened this morning and ive charged quite a few times before this. I've tried plugging it into my computer and the thing that plugs into the wall and they both show the same thing. It shows it's charging for around 10 seconds before that message appears, too. Any ideas?
--------I borrowed my brothers charger to see if it would charge and it charges normally. It seems my charger is defective so dont bother responding i fixed it -_-'
Last night I charged my phone with the standard charging cable and the phone said it was charging. This morning I woke up and it had not charged at all. It still says it is charging but no power is going to the device. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Thanks!
Edit: Wireless charging is also not working.
I would try to charge the phone with another micro-usb cable without changing the stock 1.8Amps charger. It's very common for those cables to get damaged after some time of usage and not deliver enough current for the phone to charge.
That did not seem to do anything. The fact that wireless charging also isn't working has me worried.
I am trying to hook up a charger to my 2013 Ducati Hypermotard. It's a bit of a long story so i'll try to keep it short as possible.
I had a Belkin dual USB charger that plugs into a cigarette lighter. I soldered to positive and negative and put a 5 amp fuse straight to the battery. I tested with my S3 - perfect. I hook up my S4 - perfect. The next day I hook up my S4 and I get an error message. "The connected charger is incompatible with this phone. To prevent damage to your phone, charging has been stopped. To continue charging, use the original charger and cable that were provided with the phone." It stops charging on any charger. Verizon sends a new S4 out for warranty, but my phone starts working again so I sent back the replacement phone (nervous about getting charged for a ding on the corner).
I was nervous with that usb outlet, so I bought Trackside USB outlet. I hook this up, my S3 charges perfect, but the S4 doesnt even recognize it. I tried a hard reset and cleaned the bottom terminal. No luck. My S4 will charge on any other charger. I even cut apart a USB cable and shorted the 2 data lines to trick the phone. Still doesn't work. Im starting to think there was permanent damage to my phone, but this just doesn't make sense because it works on everything else.
My original charger started to do something very weird: When i plug it (original fast charger and original cable from samsung) it starts fast charging my phone (s6 Edge+) and after a few minutes sometimes it heats up a lot, stops charging and discharge all my phone (to 0%), even charging with the phone off. I've tried other wall sockets in the home, same thing; tried other cable, same thing; tried to charge other phone with it, it does the same (heats up and discharge phone). Sammy warranty doesn't cover bad chargers, does it?
PS - I have the charger since October and just i month ago he started to do this
Update: went to samsung store, charger and cable replaced for free
My friend the same happened to me, the problem is with cable it self not the charger so the solution is very simple try to find ( Nokia cable )most of Nokia cables are suitable with Samsung and even it better from the original, the short one or the tall one all the same.
