anyone else have a loose charger?

Anyone else notice there charger is super loose and barely stays in or is it just mine. It feels like the pin isn't long enough.

Yea I think its just your phone...i have 2 and they work fine...can hold it from the charger and it won't fall out.

Yes mine too, the pin is too long and does'nt go in all the way; almost a deal breaker among other things.

I don't think so, the xoom is too heavy to be held from the charger? in fact the whole charging system is a big flaw in this tablet, I am very disappointed.

Yep. Loose charger here too.

Very disappointed they couldn't do a charge over USB. I was reading that the reason they can't charge over the USB port is that the batteries are so big and draw so much power to charge that the micro USB wouldn't be able to offer the throughput to charge it up fast enough.
Not sure how much I buy that, but at any rate they could've come up with a charging port combo that doesn't look like it came from a Nokia I bought 10 years ago lol.

Well it seems that the charger port and piece are affecting a few of you guys. But mine is good. No problem here. But that said, I was still pretty disappointed I couldn't use the same port as the phone.

I was upset about this at first as well but then again with essentially a 10 hour non stop usage time I will never have the charger in while using it. I also think it adds incentive to buy the Standard dock which at $39.99 isnt exactly terrible.
But still...why the dinky little charger?!

Yeah same problem here, I hate the charging system here.

I agree. It reminds me of a phone I had years ago.

I agree, but 10 hour battery life and 100% charge in about an hour? It's a fair trade off. I agree, though, that the attachment is tiny (wouldn't say "loose," though). Better than a dock port connector, but I'd prefer something a bit more robust. Meh.

The charger on mine is horrible.
I was sketchy at best brand new, a month in and it doesn't work at all.
At first I had to fiddle with it, get the xoom at just the right angle etc to get it to charge. Now it doesn't make contact at all. I didn't return it right away because I heard some of the issues, but figured it did work just not well.
Once it crapped out completely it was past my 30 return window.
I ended up buying the charging dock. This works fine and the "road charger' that came with it works fine (so far) as well. I am thinking of just throwing in my gimpy charger in the box and returning the dock as it is pretty over priced and i feel a bit miffed that i had to pan an additional $50 just to charge my xoom.

Woke up to a [possibly] bricked Atrix :(

Yup. Left phone on charger overnight - woke up and the camera was flashing every 2 seconds. That's all it will do. Whether it's hooked up, unhooked. As long as the battery's in that's what it does. No rom changes in over 2 weeks. No damage of any sort.... no recovery or anything

Well you can probably do a warranty exchange.
I voided my warranty and your mum.

I had something similar with my nexus one. Except it wasnt the camera but the trackball... changing kernels around seem to help a bit but eventually i took it for water damage. Take the battery out and let it dry off for a day or two. You can also try to pry it open and have your hand at any corrosion if you find any. However i wouldnt recommend that unless you know what yer doing.

I realize that but like i said i had the same experience and my phone didnt get noticably wet at any time could have been a single drop of water and corrosion takes a while to build up.
Still...
Im wondering if you used your original charger when this happend because i can personally say ive seen my atrix behaving strange when connected to some cheap random charger (touch screen not working for example). Didnt believe it could cause permenant damage though.

It was hooked up with a Blackberry charger, actually.
Still acts the same.

Check the charger to see if its power ratings are different than your otiginal one.
Also... does the device boot up in any way or is the screen simply black and the flash flickering no matter what?

Looking at it today, I noticed that the charger port (or inlet if you will) is very structurally loose. The voltage on the blackberry charger is about 3/5 that of the stock Atrix charger, if memory serves me - somebody at work switched out the chargers the day after I got the phone. It took a good 6 hours to charge...
ATT said that it would be full cost of phone, because it's personal damage.
I'm looking into the Mi-One.
EDIT: No, the screen will not even begin to come on. Camera flashing is the only indicator of any power. Used an external battery charger, and two different batteries.

The MI-One looks sweet!!!!

Moto will probably either fix it or send you another phone. I know people who bricked from trying to downgrade and they got another phone. I'm sure you could too. I would try that before you buy another phone.
ETA: Now that I think about it not being able to put the rom back to stock would probably be an issue if they can get it to turn on but if they can't they might replace it.

I also think you should bring it up with motorola. Waking up to find your phone bricked is hardly what id call personal damage. You also shouldn't bring up the charger issue. And as for the usb port i'd say it would take too much effort to discern the connection with that and the phone acting as it is, and im sure they would rather just send a replacement unit.
A usb port malfunctioning is hardly an account for personal damage. The usual case is they simply stop working, but definitely not brick your entire phone.

I bought one from an AT&T store. It works, but with some caveats. It power cycles several times when docked, before charging. I'm giving it a couple of days use before I make a decision on returning it or not.

What do you mean by power cycle? The phone? If it's the charger, what does that entail?

http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/16/3655014/qi-google-starbucks-compatibility-issues
In testing the Nexus 4 this week on Nokia's DT-900 Qi charging pad (the one that AT&T has been throwing in for free with purchases of the Lumia 920), our results weren't promising: the Nexus would connect, disconnect, reconnect, and disconnect once again from the charger, ad nauseam, making the "charger connected" notification sound each and every time. The charging light on the pad, meanwhile, flashed on and off in rhythm with the connections annunciated by the phone. It didn't matter how the Nexus was positioned on the pad (Qi advertises a large, forgiving charging surface as one of its benefits, coincidentally) — the two simply wouldn't work together consistently enough to get the phone charged. The pad works normally with two Lumia 920s I've tested.

Yes, though it at least for me stops, after a few cycles. The more I use it though, the fussier it seems to get....

Used my friends at work. It cycled the first time then settled. Second time phone went psycho like it was being touched but wasn't. My clock widget on lock screen would highlight, shrink, then back to normal. The third time it acted like it was fine but started cycling about a minute in.

Mine doesn't do that, it starts charging without issue when I set it down on the Nokia Plate, and the plate's light stays solidly lit until it's charged.

I bought one yesterday. It doesn't work very well at all. It flips in and out of charge depending on where you place the phone. Other times the phone will slide off the charger. I've done the micro fiber cloth of the charger to stop the slide and it will charge however it seems that it is still hit or miss. Some times if the phone is higher than 70% it will say that it's charging but the battery % never goes up.
My advice for something that costs $50 should work properly, you shouldn't have to add cloths or rubber pads to it. So i've sold mine and will wait for a proper charger designed for the nexus 4 and i'd advice everyone else to do the same.

That's weird, after 3 or 4 "charging, not charging" messages, it settles down and charges fine for me, I guess right now it's just the luck of the draw, that and these wireless charging standards boards still haven't quite got things perfect yet.

Here you go guys. Just got the orb today. Works perfectly with the Nexus 4 and Lumia 920. The orb has a sticky back, like those GPS dash covers but it also has magnets. The Lumia and Nexus work in portrait and landscape modes without slipping.

Charges the Lumia pretty quickly, went up a few (~3-4) in the 10 minutes I had it on there. The manual says it outputs at 1000mA, which is kinda awesome.

Note 7 Shipments Halted

http://www.wsj.com/articles/samsung...shipments-for-more-quality-testing-1472647803
Sorry if you can't read it

Those damn cheap microusb to usb-c connectors and cheap large voltage chargers .. sheesh. I've had no trouble with mine but then again I have quality chargers and cables I bought for my 6P. My Note 7 doesn't even get warm when charging .. at least nothing noticeable.

Turn off fast charging in settings, problem solved.

Fast charging? As I understand it - and I could be wrong - the problem isn't fast charging. it's people using unapproved USB-C cables and or chargers.

Seems to be a problem with the international models.

It's not that it's unapproved. It's that they are using cheap cables and chargers. We went through this crap with the OnePlus3 and Nexus 6P. Cheap chargers and cables can do damage.

Well, from the looks of it. Even Anker who is pretty reliable issued a recall for almost all their usb-c cables.

You're probably right. My Note 7 gets pretty warm when using fast-charge. And batteries don't like heat. So, since I don't really need fast-charge when I charge my phone most of the time, I turned it off. Phone no longer gets warm when charging.
Besides, batteries will last longer without excessive fast-charging.

I use these with my Note 7 and Nexus 6P. Unless I just got lucky and got 6 good cables .. I use them everywhere .. work, car (Android Auto) and home .. then these are good. I highly doubt a USB-C cable that works brilliantly with the Nexus 6P would fry the Note 7. I've had mine for 12 days and when I hook the Note 7 up in my truck for AA it's charging as well and it never gets much warmer than if it were on the wireless Samsung charger.

Maybe something is wrong with yours. My Note 7 has been sitting on the Samsung wireless charger on my desk at 100% for the last hour. Since all this has made me paranoid .. I pick it up every so often and touch it to my face. It's not even lukewarm. I don't think fast charging is the issue with this. The guy in China who reported this which later was picked up on Reddit .. his cable was just some black microusb cable with a while adapter on it and no further info. If the cable was a piece of crap and he was using a cheap wall charger .. Samsung adapter or not I think this was the cause of the boom. I could be wrong but I don't think so. Like said about .. the usb-c cable/charger subject was discussed to death about the OnePlus3 and Nexus 6P (Macbook as well) .. and it's always the same thing. Don't use cheap junk. :good:

If your phone is at 100%, then it's not charging. Therefore, it won't be warm. When the battery gets low, 30-40% and it's on fast-charge, it gets very warm. I don't know about the wireless charger, but it's warm with the cable. Either way, I disabled fast-charge and no more warmth.

Are we far away from FW update limiting charge current? I turned off fast charging due to phone getting hot, which is not healthy for batteries, especially if those are hard to replace and I charge overnight anyway, but on some occasion I could be in rush to charge and fast charging is the solution and I want fast charge as option, but if things go like that, the easiest fix for Samsung would be to eliminate fast charge for now.

All phones should get warm while fast charging. S7 Edge did the same thing, so did the nexus 6p.
I charge mine with fast charging every single time.

i use quick charge no problems here

It could be they are using these cable that's being recall?
http://lifehacker.com/some-anker-usb-c-cables-are-getting-recalled-for-a-hard-1785887067

Some Anker USB C cable sold at Amazon last month could blow you note 7 up.
Guys please check if you have these Anker cable and return it back to manufacture.
http://lifehacker.com/some-anker-usb-c-cables-are-getting-recalled-for-a-hard-1785887067

If that cable delivers 20 volts designed for PC, to the phone designed for 9v max, that would double the amperage and quadruple total power drawn, I can easily see how that could burn the whole phone to crisp.
Going back to fast charge on N7, I'm sure it's well designed and the heat well within specs (it's even mentioned in manual), but the fact remains that higher operating temp of battery, the lower (slightly) life span of the battery. With battery sealed inside and rather difficult to replace I want to prolong it's life to maximum and if I charge overnight, which I do often, don't care if it even takes 6hrs. BTW if the faulty cable is the real culprit, it's a very good news and shipping of N7 should resume soon. It would be shame if such a good phone got bad reputation undeserved.

Actually, it's not. It was reported on quite a few sites that Samsung sourced the battery packs locally for it's variations. So the South Korean company that made the battery packs for the South Korean release is the one that is possibly the cause of all this hoopla. The few handsets out of the millions produced that have had issues with these crap cables and chargers have been in South Korea. None of the EU/NorthAm phones have been reported to have had this happen at all. Maybe unnamed sources that aren't Samsung themselves should be taken with a grain of salt. Maybe we should wait for an official statement from Samsung before running in circles and screaming the sky is falling. It's a thought.
I'm not saying it couldn't be a massive, global recall but based on the 30+ articles I've read .. most of which messaged to me by my iPhone owning friends .. this seems like a bad batch in South Korea. I had a gasket issue on my motorcycle that was part of a recall .. will I stop buying that brand because of it. No. And before you start talking about fire and explosions .. oil spewing out of a gasket onto a tire while doing 70mph ... same thing.

Note 8 smoking and charger glowing orange

I'm editing my original post because some people find my description a little misleading. I ran into a problem yesterday, using a stock charger I plugged my phone in, and about a minute later, started smelling something burning, i saw smoke coming from my phone, I pulled out the charger and my charger was was on fire and then started glowing. Anyone else have that happen? Ruined my charging port, my phone was about 3 weeks old, stock ROM and I don't use third party chargers, I have two wireless chargers but decided to use the included fast charging cable that day. Samsung repaired my phone, they told me they had 4 people call in that day with the same issues.

Hi guys, so I ran into a problem yesterday, using a stock charger I plugged my phone in, and about a minute later, started smelling something burning, and saw smoke coming from my phone, I instantly pulled out the charger and apparently my charger was actually glowing like a cigarette lighter. Anyone else have that happen? Ruined my charging port and Samsung is trying to figure out what they want to do with a warranty claim. Could this be a new Note 7 type problem?

Uh oh? could it be an over voltage problem from your outlet / house? Id clear up that first. I don't want my Note to catch fire too!

Probably had moisture in the port and it was shorting the charger.

Stop trying to ruin this for everyone
Stop the b.s espionage
Stop being a cheapskate and buy the wireless charger
My guess you went and rooted your phone let the battery drain to 0% and now your trying to get a new phone. Take this down it doesn't help anyone.

This is unlikely an issue of the Note8 itself, rather like others have said either the port was moist or some voltage problem of the charger.
I charge mine (sometimes after it shuts down itself after being fully used) and it works fine, no issues here on N950F (Yes I know, it's not the US variant) using stock charger.
No idea why you're blaming the charger and calling someone a "cheapskate" for not using the wireless one.
BUT: @DroidisLINUX
Dude you're seriously not helpful at all. Literally just accusing, calm down.
I'm pretty sure "rooting" wouldn't be the cause, even if, he should be aware of the consequences like no warranty but since it's a US Note8, y'all have the SamFail root which doesn't trip knox, so a last resort would be to reflash stock FW and ask Samsung again.

I'm not rooted, haven't rooted any of my phones since I had my S6, and i was thinking about the moisture possibility too, but I had a note 8 charging on it before I put mine on charge, yeah I have 3 in the household. Don't think it's a voltage problem, I have everything connected to surge protectors. I have 2 wireless chargers, that's how I'm charging my phones until this gets fixed.

I would highly appreciate you rephrasing your first post/ thread title because it doesn't entirely resemble the situation fella, because (If i understood it right) it didn't actually caught fire, just some smoking.
Secondly, the N7's battery "blew" up after catching smoke/ fire. Highly doubt it'll be the same with the N8, just my guess.
But yea, a little rephrasing would be appreciated man. Hope Samsung does give you a replacement!

@Donnyohs: Did you see flames coming from your Note 8? If it was smoke, please edit your OP to reflect this. Thank you.

People post respectfully or DO NOT POST .... pretty easy really

Could not agree more.

Are there problems with draining the phone to 0?

Mine just caught on fire tooooooooo! (subscribe and like boost LG stats LOL!!!)

My husband is having the exact same issue. Have Samsung replaced your phone

I noticed for years that the Samsung charger adapters were easily able to be damaged. Usually after dropping the charger adapter. The charger would get so very hot after a hard drop that I stopped using them or not work at all. I had this problem for years all the way back with the Galaxy Note 2 (My first Samsung Android device).
I wonder if this can be the cause.

So you call your post "Note 8 catching on fire after smoking" yet it didn't catch fire.
I suggest you edit your post title to "Note 8 smoking" since it didn't catch fire.
A lot of factors could lead to smoke, a solid one is moister, as suggested in an earlier reply. it happens. It sounds like a random occurrence, I use charge cables at work and home and have NO issues with heat or smoke.

This looks like some people trying to start a mass histeria crisis to discredit this phone......

Where's the recall????

Just bring your phone to the T-Mobile store or use a OEM fast charger if this is real

Guess I'm lucky, my Note 8 hasn't burned up yet!
