Hey there, my a3 2016 has been acting up lately in that sometimes it detects that its been plugged into a charger and shows its 'charging' however it sometimes randomly decides not to detect that its been plugged in and doesnt do anything, this is also the same when connecting to a PC.
The thing is that when it doesn't react to being plugged in it still charges the phone as when it later detects being plugged in the battery percentage is always as if it was on charge. For example in the morning it would be on 15%, i plug it in, nothing happens but i leave it plugged in then in the afternoon i plug it in, shows the "charging" notification however the percentage jumps to 70%.
Any ideas on what this could be? The usb charging port, the battery, or maybe software?
Cheers!

I suspect it is charging but perhaps not updating the charge percentage. After an hour the percetage ought to be fairly high - possibly full. I would disconect the usb charger or pc lead and then check level\of charge. Also remember it increases and decreases in 10% intervals - so you will never see figures in between e.g. 21..22..23 etc only 10...20...30 etc.

thanks, i will try it out tonite last night i turned off the phone to charge (well it died on me) so i charged it and let it be
Charging
Charging off USB takes much longer than off of AC. I usually charge off USB only to keep my phone "topped off" during the day at the office.
Hey guys, got a problem with my S4 i9506, yesterday all of the sudden its telling me that the usb cable is pluged in (message when u plug the usb), but I just surf the web without any cable attached! afterwards it started to get a little hot on the back, and later the evening, when the battery was drained, I pluged the charger and it would NOT charge! it did see the plug, the battery icon changed, but the battery were still going down! I tried another S4 battery, same thing - so its the phone. I googled the issue, cleaned the USB connections carefully, tried hard reset, tried charging from PC (the PC detects the phone, I can transfere files), so the USB port seems to be fine. the battery died comepletly, I tried do charge when its turned of, did't help, its just vibrating every second, without any display activity. I put it overnight charging, woke up this morning and it did acctually charge, but VERY slowly, and won't get higher than 20% charge.
PLZ HELP
I've plugged my N9005 in, it says charging but it's actually draining. My computer reads my phone, and also says charging but not charging, and if I shut it down and plug it it doesn't even appear that it's charging.
Please help..
When I plug charger LED blinks for a second and turns off, when I charged battery manually by putting the cables to V+ and V- for 5minutes the system booted, battery was at 20% and shows device is plugged in, but it's not charging it actually. While device stayed on cable for all night it was still 20% in the morning but as soon I disconnected it and battery went to 18% I plugged it back, after 2 hours it was still at 18%. system recognizes charger but not charging. I've also changed cable, adapter, replaced USB port and battery, but that didn't work. Now I have empty battery and it won't turn on for charging even in bootloader mode, as soon I turn recovery mode on it, device turns off and won't turn on again.
What's wrong? Is it motherboard problem and will repair cost more than new device?
Ok, seems the issue resolved when I disassebly phone completely and reassembled it, weird and a signal for phone replacement I guess.
a5 2016 when powered off and i plug cable to charge phone shows battery thunder symbol but not charging, maybe the cable bad? but sometimes work fine when powered off and i put charge the usb cable in wall charger. now another phone powered off, and i put the charger, same ISSUE not see battery 0% but battery boot and not charged. when i reinsert the cable started charged. this happen with two phones same ( a5 2016) sometimes battery not charging it stopped at 70 or random number. i leave it in night so when i wake up i see 93% charging. and not fully because i dont reinsert cable in to the phone. i dont know maybe the another cable dont do that how cable did this issue, not charging when powered off, when reinsert it start charged. and i forgot mention the cable which i use in the phone which not start charged sometimes when i got 0% it start charged when i reinsert so this cable dont recognized to the pc. it shows error when i plugged two phones or another phone not a5 so the cable bad? how the magic trasnfer issue to another a5 when phone without defect issues!. strange. so what you opinion? cable bad?
i forgot mention even when phone charging power off the cable loose connection not on power was phone. i wake up and see powered off not nothing happened not light screen to see fully charged . its off. when i reinsert cable was battery 97% not 100% so the cable lost connection random even when powered off charging. so 100% cable bad? because its stopped sometimes charged at random percent and sometimes charged fully
