Axon 7 Charging issues under low battery - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

My Axon is charging good at wall charger or using Laptop with Official charger cable and Note 7 Cable.
When i connect the phone in my Car Charger it works if my battery is greater than 80% (tested), if it's less than 30% it's not at all charging in the Car (but it works in wall/laptop) and it makes the car charger off (there is a Led light in the car charger that will off it i charge my Axon 7 have lower battery. ) that looks weird. the only way make it work is unplug the car charger and plug it in, the blue led will light up charger and can charge other phones.
Anyone had this issue. is it could be faulty battery or Car charger ( i have another same car charger but that is also behaving the same.)?
Car Chager is Dynex
Cable is Micro USB (amazon Fire) with connector to USB-C port (Note - 7) - using it for Note-7 earlier no issues.
I was able to charge my other phones using the Car Charger at all levels using the same Micro USb Cable. only problem with Axon 7 and if it's less battery capacity.

Change the cable or connector.
i used the official Cable it worked, so i am thinking the problem with amazon cable or adopter. have to check with other cables

Check out Bensen Leung's reviews of cables on Amazon. Some good stuff there to make sure you get the right one.

Someone didn't read the really short manual. It clearly states on it the battery precaution. You need to always use the USB type c cable that came with the phone and something else check it out

Right charger for my Orange SPV 3100

HI friends after my last charger got lost I am looking for another charger but as I am not able to find a right one I am forced to charge it with my PC USB. May I know which is the right charger I mean the voltage because I have a mp3 player charger with USB plug. Can I use that it differs in the voltage up to a very less extent. Is there any harm of using duplicate or different companies charger. I have heard that motorola charger works with HTC devices as well. So plz guide me friends with Your valuable comments..Cheers
The output on my charger is 5v--- 1000mA. I have a similar charger for my Motorola S9 stereo bluetooth headphones and use this to charge my phone but this is 5v---850mA and I have noticed that although it charges the phone sometimes the charge icon does not light up.
I sometimes use the phone charge to charge my bluetooth GPS but although it charges fine the GPS won't work at the same time as I am charging, which it will do with a PC USB lead or even the Motorola charger.
I would try and get a charger that puts out 1000mA. (1A)

Yes, very much agree with that. Non official chargers are OK as a stop gap until you get the correct 5v, 1000mA one. Some quirky things can happen using lower power ones. (the mini usb connector is wired slightly differently and this can have some odd - but not usually damaging effects).

Charger problems

I have been having a problem replacing my car charger.
i purchased off ebay a car charger and wall charger combo...I plugged them in and my battery percentage went down almost quickly like it was being drained.
Now, my home charger, which is the original charger, charges my phone up perfectly. I am also able to charge my phone up using a usb cable on my home computer and also on my work computer.
I purchased another car charge. This one is a usb cable that plugs into a car charger. This one also "drains" my power down. What am I doing wrong?
I do not have the chargers with me or I would include some technical information. I will do that in the morning.
I am at a lose for ideals. I do work in the electronic world so I have a little understanding about electronics.
Thank you.
Maybe it's not the car chargers but something wrong with wiring in your car?

This weekend I had the opportunity to test two car charges that are not charging in my car in another vehicle....the same result....phone lost power on both chargers.
I think that I will spend the money and get a HTC car adapter.
You can try some of the chargers at amazon. They are cheap and work well with all of my HTC devices. Some of the chargers for ebay and amzon are cheap quality from china, so if you are worried you might get burened again you can search oem chargers instead of generic ones. And make sure the power rating isnt really low like 300mah.
had the same problem as u..
the charger i used to have declared it had 5v 1A output but it couldn't charge my tytn2 in the car, in fact it drained the battery even more...
than i got a micro usb car charger with 1A output from ebay (store: gadg-e-tech ) and so far so good, my tytn keeps charging..
although i have this problem now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779008 but i think it's a software problem...
charger problem
I had the same problem 1 charger would charge the other drain. I had several car chargers and motorola ones too and none worked not even an htc origional. I got the usb cable that came with the phone and a generic car charge and pluged in the usb an all worked fine.

Charger provides 1000 mA, yet phone only takes 500.

Hi,
I bought a wall charger for my N1 today. I was searching for one with 1000 mA output so the phone would charge twice as fast, but after having it on for a long time and seeing that it was only 22% charged, I looked at the battery status and it said "USB". I unplugged it, plugged the stock adapter and it said "AC", and started to charge at the usual speed.
Is there a way to have wall chargers that are NOT the ones provided by HTC charge at a normal speed? thanks!
Interesting... it happens the same thing with an iPhone charger, which have the same output characteristics as the stock charger. I never thought looking at the battery status
FWIW, you can easily see if your phone is charging fast or slow by installing the quick system info app (AC=fast, USB=slow).
I'm using the 1000 mA charger with the USB to micro USB cable that came bundled with the phone. Might it be the cable limiting the power?
I've been trying to figure this out too...
I bought a USB car charger to charge my phone in the car whilst driving.
However even with my phone on standby it still loses power.... I don't know whether it's because I'm using the USB cable or the charger is inferior.
It is rated a 1000mA (the charger).
I bought the HTC car charger from expansys.. bit costly at around £20 for a charger but it works perfectly for me. Drove 4 hours with copilot running, and battery remained perfectly charged
As well as the stock charger, I often use a pikie USB charger with a Nokia micro USB cable... phone reports an AC charger in use.

Aftermarket charger.

Hey guys. Got an aftermarket charger after my original gave up on day one and i didnt want to have to send everything back. When i plug the phone in the scren becomes un responise, but the hardware buttons stil work. Can anyone explain this? obviously i ned to try a diferant charger, specificaly for the galaxy but how can the charger stop the screen working? Many thanks.

Yes the same thing happened to me,,i took the charger back..and got a proper one
just for reference, the Black Berry 9600 chargers are compatible with SGS 9000
i bough one for car use
So are the moto chargers.
My car charger is an old razor v3 mini-usb with a mini-usb adapter.
My wall charger is an old Razor v9m charger.
Never tested a BB charger as i have always charged mine with the moto ones that were already plugged in
yup i also purchased a mini usb to micro usb adapter to use my old Moto chargers with my SGS
The same happened with me while using the stock charger in a train. The capacitive touch buttons and the screen stopped working, but the hardware buttons were working. So I plugged in my laptop and used a USB cable for charging it.
Never heard of this before....
I've not come across a charger that does not work.
The chatger works but the phone doesnt while its plugged in! my back button and menu button still work along with hardware buttons...... Weird... Allready ordered an official replacement

That will be the cable that has issues.
Pity you couldn't have tried another cable.
I am using a nokia car charger, also works fine. Blackberry didn't work for me
Yeah i know the cable causes the issue but does anyone know how? obviously other after market chargers are ok... Phone charges fine too, just cant use it when charging...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i'm using After market chargers too, but i have no problem
my car charger is using a BlackBerry 9500 charger (2A)
an in my PC i use a Motorola sync/charge USB mini + micro USB adapter to make it compatible with SGS 9000
they all work fine
i have not even unpacked my SGS usb cable that came in the box
Is any of this chargers really recognized as charger (charging with more than 500mA)?
You can easily verify this with the app "OSmonitor".
IF you see this: "USB Power: Online and at AC Power: Online" everything is working as it should. But if you see "AC power: Offline" your phone thinks the charger is a pc and it will only charge with 500mA.

The only problem with software informers here though is for those that have the problem and the screen locks up whilst being charged the software is of little use.
This question was not for people having a faulty charger but for the ones claiming that they have a functioning charger!
If the charger is not really recognized as charger it is useless for navigation. As the Galaxy S need more than the 500mA while navigating (with GPS).
yeah, minimum you need a 1A (1000mAh) charger
that's why i prefer the 2A chargers, it gives just enough juice to actually charge the battery, and use GPS+3G+WiFi+Bluetooth
else the car charger will not even be enough to power all those, and it will still consume the battery power.
that's from experience from my HTC phones

I bought a Sharper Image Retractable USB kit that has adapters for most of the USB sockets out there. But the Micro USB that came with the kit fails to work with the SGS, the retractable USB cable is set up like an extension cable which works fine as an extension cable but putting on the adapters dont work.

Nexus 7 Car Charger Issue

Hey all, quick question.
I have my Nexus 7 installed in my car. Originally it was getting power from a 500mah USB car charger, but it didn't provide enough power to the tablet when running GPS/maps, etc.
So I bought an "8Ware Dual USB Car Charger 5V/2A" to try. I plugged it in, and the tablet doesn't detect it or charge from it. However I can plug my Galaxy S3 into it and it charges fine.
Really confused about this - it makes no sense.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
I understand your frustration and it sucks!!
But sometimes even when it says UNPLUGGED and NOT CHARGING, just leave it there for 30-60 minutes. You might see that your battery actually increase... This happens with my Griffin PowerJolt Dual USB car charger also.
You can either blame the device or you can start blaming other issues like the charger, the usb cable etc but for me, I blame primarily on the device.

Thanks for that. I tried plugging it in for a while but it definitely didn't get a charge.
Hey All.. I looked forever to find a solution. The Targus 2A car charger has a small (3") adapter cable that comes with it purportedly for Galaxy Tab. That little cable with the data wires shorted on the device end allows the N7 to be charged from ANY 2A car charger. I'm using the adapter with a Scosche dual 2.1 Amp Car Charger

Edit: I just built a usb cable with the data wires shorted on the Nexus end (cut, strip, short micro usb end green and white, remake connections red to red and black to black, insulate splices individually, wrap all in electrical tape or heat shrink for strength and beauty) and it works with all chargers. Took about 20 minutes.
