Hey I'm trying to get some help on this. I got this phone about 3 weeks ago and 2 days ago I noticed that my phone wouldn't charge. I plugged it in using the stock charger into numerous sockets and no dice. The USB cable works fine tho. But whenever I clear the cache, or restart sometimes it'll start charging. Is anyone else having this issue? Is it a software issue, issue with the charger? And if it is a charger issue would anyone know a alternative fast charger solution on amazon or anything I should order? I googled and saw some say its software, some say it's the charger so I'm confused. Thanks.

Is the phone under warranty still if so I would contact them
I got it from best buy so no.
Anybody?
Have you rebooted the phone? I had this issue where it wouldn't charge using a USB C to C charger, but would charge with an A to C cable. A reboot fixed the problem.

Yes, problem is not on cables, as the same ones, can charge other phones. I bet i't the micro usb port on phone is loose or something, because when i press a bit harder the phone starts up, but there's no battery so stay awake... I hope this falls under warranty man...
Test pull-out the baterie wait 15 seg and put it.
Test charging on another X5.
It happened something similar to my first Huawei U8800. It only switched on when I remove my battery and plug the AC charger. I went to the store and they exchanged it..
Seems like i've got the same problem. My X5 doesn't charge since last night. Did you find the solution for your phone?
PROBLEM SOLVED. The 2 chargers i tried was both broken

And why didn't it charge from the PC? doesn't seem right
EDIT: Wrong reply, I thought fjsferreira had two broken chargers
I am having a weird problem every now and then. Most of the time when I charge my phone it juices up all the way fo full, no problem. But every once or twice a month it charges to about 70%, then just stops (see attached screenshots). If I look at the lockscreen I can see the charging notification flickering on and off. It won't charge to 100 unless I unplug and replug, then it seems to fix the problem.
I'm on stock rom 4.2.2, faux kernal v11.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any help would be appreciated.
try turning phone off, then charge it?
same issue?
Plug/Unplug the cable and the charger several times, does the trick for me
Yea, I can get the phone to charge again by unplugging and plugging back in the cable, it just kind of stinks to wake up and find out that my phone didn't fully charge overnight.
It's not a big deal, I was just hoping someone found a solution to stop it from happening.
The solution I found is using a different charger

I think I'll have to try this, I'm currently using the charger that came with the phone, but maybe I'll try one of my older chargers and see if that fixes the problem.

Used to happen every so often to me with the stock charger too so I bought a different one and it just happened to me again last night on the new one after a couple weeks of use.
i have this issue too, it will charge fine for a while but then ill wake up in the morning to see it rapidly switching from AC to Not charging over and over again. i dont know why but i dont want it to damage the phone
Same crap here
Since it happened the last time I've switched to using my old Sony charger and cable. So far so good, hasn't happened again...yet.

Well I had with my old phone the same problem but I recognized that there was some dirt in the charging port of the phone.
I removed this with my nail and it worked again.
Probably it won't help you but you'll never know
Try connecting the charge cable to a USB port on your computer for a few hours. You may not see anything right away but eventually the phone will begin to charge.
i got this issue few days back..the charging was slow..cant even reach 100 when im on the phone..its pathetic..swap with my old lg phone model cable bam!the old cable built was much rugged compared to nexus 4..
I have exactly the same problem - when it ran out of power today, it switched itself off normally, and then when I inserted the cable, it didn't charge. not even the battery animation thing came up!
I hope somebody can find a solution.
Oh yeah, and I checked in the port for dust, and used countless alternate wires and power adapters

When you run the battery all the way down it takes a while to start a charge. Just leave it plugged in for a while and it'll go. I'm not sure if it does this every time because I don't drain my phone to 0% but it has happened before on my old phone and I've seen it happen to iphones as well.
Same problem

Did you ever find a solution or send the phone in to LG? I'm having this exact problem right now. I've tried three different micro USB wall chargers for hours at a time as well as charging it through the USB port on my computer. I get absolutely no charge and I have never had any problems at all until last night when it simply would not charge.

Try pressing the power button and immediately the low volume, wait like 3 to 5 seconds and it'll restarts. Not the first time this happens to me and wish to know what's going on! don't know if there's an app that's doing this or hardware issue...
Try cleaning the port like mentioned. There's videos in YouTube

ahh this problem...i had the exact same problem with my gnex...its just that the metal plate of the micro usb port of your phone has bent down a bit which is why it doesnt charge...the easiest way to fix that is to take something flat and lift the metal plate gently..not too much otherwise you'll break it...just lift it up slightly and it should charge normally then...Hopefully :fingers-crossed:
Hi there,
I have a big problem with charging my Galaxy S4. It only charges with my notebook USB Port, my AC-adapter does not work.
In the battery menu I can see that AC is connected, when I plug my adapter in. But charging does not work with my device.
Over USB I can charge slowly. This isn't a software problem, I have done some resets and firmware changes since the problem.
Maybe my phone got a little bit wet earlier. Could this be the problem? Can I fix this with changing the USB port part of the hardware?

Yes, I tried another cable but had no success
I dunno if I can ask it here, but i don't charge over usb, i mean it just "hold" the power level for me. Is that normal ?
Is your AC outlet working ?
Having issue where S4 only charges with USB and vibrates when using AC charger
I've been having some issues with my S4. I did recently get it a little wet, but it's working fine in all cases except charging. I have my phone next to my bed charging every night. I noticed it was dead one morning, but I figured I didn't connect the charger properly. The next night I noticed it was vibrating every 5 seconds or so, but the phone had turned off due to a low battery. Very strange behavior.
I realized that it would start charging, but it would stop between 1-3 minutes. The the phone would vibrate and not charge.
I've ready MANY posts from others with the same issue and someone mentioned their phone charges over USB. Seemed odd, but I tried it and voila, my phone charged perfectly. I have many samsung cables, none of which work. It's definitely not the cable. I can plug a samsung cable into my phone connected to AC and it doesn't work. I pull the USB portion out of the AC charger and plug into a computer and it immediately and consistently charges. The battery holds its charge as expected, so it doesn't appear to be a battery issue.
I've tried the developer mode options - no luck.
I've tried bending the charging prong - no luck.
I've tried blowing out the charging port with compressed air - no luck.
I recently got an update pushed to my phone (Sprint), but I don't think it was happening right after the update. Seems like a likely software issue.
I did get my phone a little wet recently, actually it was my young children throwing water at me.
I've read so many posts and nobody seems to have a good answer for this issue. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Hi, I have one question, do you have problem with charging? When I charge my phone, it charges well but every 5 minutes it shows me as if the phone has just been plugged in. Do you know the reason of this think?

never had this problem. Did you try the original USB-C cable and another charger? Cleaned the USB-C port of dust?
When it still persists I would suggest to contact the Nothing Service for repair
