Before anything, sorry about my english.
Hi, guys. I want to know something as I bought my phone today and I don't want to mess it up. When I plug it on the charger gets warm. It is not the turbocharger and it is not a Motorola charger, as I bought an used (but in perfect conditions) phone. It is a Hauwei cable that the guy that sold me the phone used, he said that he had no problems with it, but I think that a hot charger is not very funny.
What do you say? Is this normal? Or I should try to buy the turbocharger (it is expensive for me as I am from Venezuela)?
Thanks in advice.

I got a Wing, and it came with that big ass charger that says use only for wing, mda, and dash. Well I JUST now read that on the charger. Its not that I've been using this charger on other devices, its that I've been using my OTHER usb chargers to charge my Wing.
Is this bad?
Im currently using the charger from my BlackBerry Pearl (well, until I found the Wing charger again), am I in any way damaging my battery life? Or perhaps not charing as fast as I should?
Im just curious why you can only use that charger on those phones, and if its so picky, if I'm doing harm using other chargers.
If anyone knows please do tell.
No worries. The tag you see is more of a marketing decision than a limitation of the adapter itself. You can use that safely and normally on any device that requires a standard USB charger. And vice-versa, you can use any standard USB charger to charge your phone with zero adverse effects.
... well, as long as it's not a REALLY cheap charger.
right on.
I didnt know if the "wing charger" had some type of extra output to help charge faster or something.
I use a Motorola Razr car charger and it works just find.
I have noticed once or twice, for some odd reason, sometimes the Wing wouldn't "recognize" when I plugged it in with a razr home charger... like it wouldn't show that it was charging ... but maybe it was just a crappy charger.... I don't know. But I have charged it with a Blackberry 8000 charger with no problems.
I always wondered myself whether or not it would be a problem... bc the Wing's usb plug isn't a "standard" usb, but it's got a weird shape.... but I still think its just a marketing BS technique to get you to buy THEIR like $40 chargers.
Actually it may not damage your device, but may damage others using it the other way around.
Moto RZ charger is 850MA Output
T-Mobile Charger is 1A
Output
After charging my raz on accident with the t-mobile charger it seems like it can no longer hold a regular constant charge...
This also is in effect with any itips/igo adapters there are two tips for the charger, one raz USB, and one for t-mobile higher powered devices
I'm using a Motorola Q charger in the car just fine. Which is nice, because it can also charge the GPS receiver that also has a mini USB jack.
Charging your wing with any min-usb charger (such as the standard motorola ones) is fine...
The only problem you might face is... if your phone is *completely* discharged, you will need the stronger charger to recover it... the Razr chargers and the like don't seem to have the strength to revive a completely 100% dead Herald

I actually experienced this with an MDA (wizard) ... it had been uncharged for months, and I tried to charge it with a razr charger, and after sitting on the charger for like a day ... it had zero charge.

DAMNIT!!
I did this too!
I had a wizard I was going to use before I got my wing. It wouldnt charge, I thought the battery was trashed, so I bought a new one.
Though I only spent 10 bucks on the battery, I wish I would of known. Though I bet a real charger for it would of been more then the battery.
i bought this car charger from ebay from my vibrant for 10 bux. when i went to canada this was like 3 weeks ago and since i got back my battery life was never the same it dies pretty quick. what can cause this
I would avoid the cheap generic chargers. Go with the T-Mobile or Samsung OE car chargers. Purchase a new battery if you think it's the source, they're pretty cheap on eBay.
I don't think the charger did that. I have made some Frankenstein chargers that have never affected the battery. I would guess the charge controller in the phone crapped out, but not because of the non OEM charger.
The thing you plug into the wall or cigarette lighter doesn't know or care about what phone or battery you have. it just gives the power. it doesn't tell the phone to give you the "UNPLUG YOUR PHONE" message, the controller in the phone does that.
Go to powerstream.com for info on cells, batteries, and charging.
Think about this...if you have your phone plugged into your car BEFORE you start it, what happens? The charger goes dead, then comes back. That is way more stressful on ANY charger.

Off-topic, but it is bad on the battery to leave the phone plugged in all night, with the phone asleep but not off (i.e., the phone remains plugged in long after it finished recharging)? I do this, as I suspect many others do... I was under the impression that the phone cuts the cycle so there's no "overcharge" issue. Thanks.
chargers shouldn'ty hurt your battery. I've NEVER owned a OEM car charger in my life, and you know now that i think about it I think the crappy $12.00 charger in my car is the same one I bought for my Razor back in 2005, I've used it for my Jasjar, N95, my Gf's chocolate, her Blackberry and now my Vibrant no issues.
as for overcharging, phones like most electronics, should have a built in switch that switches to trickle charge after completion. also batteries no longer use memory Cell technology so again no issues there. I only charge my phones at night and I leave them all night no issues. no dead batteries, no exploding phones, no overheating etc.
hi guys
my friend got a used galaxy s and he found that the charging is very slow either by usb or with the adapter!!
it chargs 1%+ just for half an hour
but when he removed the battery and plug it on other external adapter it get charged very fast!
i knoow it is strange problem!!
any idea can help??
thankx
More Info:
*he but a stock firmware>
-he got a new battery an d still sam problem!!and also he renew his adapter but still same!!
Sounds the faulty hardware - ask samsung?
And, you posted this in the wring section newb.
Sent from xda premium app on i9000m.
Almost certainly bad hardware. My first i9000 had a problem with charging, so they just swapped it for another.
Take it in and try another.
i am not really into it and it could be absolutely nonsense xD sry if so
could it be that your charger is only for ~220-240V and you are trying to charge it in a country with ~110V

i have usb way to charge it>>no diffrents!
I have a plugin charger & a USB charger. When I plug my USB charger, it charges quite fast. But with the wall charger, there seems to be a problem. I discovered that my daughter had tried to push it in the wrong way & has bent the pins way too little. Now, when I have to use the wall charger, I need to shift the phone a few times for it to connect. Is it possible to bend the pins INSIDE your phone socket? Is that why it isn't connecting properly?
always the phone is showing charging so no way for desconnectiing the charger or the pin inside
Don't know if this is your problem but the charger that came with my phone was very slow, it would take about 6 hours to do a full charge. I bought one off the internet designed for a blackberry and it charges my phone in 2 hours now.

Contact your seller instantly and get both phone and charger replaced.
The fact that u cent using it even tho it was getting got is dangerous.
U don't want to wake up in the night with your house on fire.
Yup that is a terminal hardware failure from the charger. More concerning is the impact on the phone and battery.
Request everything to be replaced.
Good luck.
You sohuld definetly contact the seller. If you don't like the LG charger. Buy one from another retailer

Hi, so a couple days ago all of a sudden the phone would not charge with quick charge and i tried different plugs, it would charge then uncharge every 1 second, so i used my console or laptop to charge my phone but it was charging slowly and the port would get very hot, now today it is not charging at all with anything, im from the UK but got the phone from USA so cant really send them the phone, but i think the charging port is maybe burned out or something, does anybody have suggestions on what i can do? Thank you
Contact ZTE first of all if your phone is still under warranty. Even if you bought it in the USA, they can facilitate the repair. Failing that, your best shot would be to look up some repair guide and try doing it yourself, or taking it to a repair shop.
Btw, the Axon 7 on Ebay or in Willhaben (Used market website in Austria) doesn't cost more than 150€. If you have that ammount to spare, buying a used unit might not be the worse bet.
Mine had an error close to this after I rooted it. It would appear to be on the charger, but the unit would just get EXTREMELY hot and not take a charge. I finally let it die completely and it just started working normal after that. If the charge port is the only thing getting hot though, it might be different. My entire phone would heat up.
Have you made sure the port is absolutely clean? If not it can slow or stop the charge and definitely heat everything stuck in there.
Try a different cable. I had a similar scare using magnetic tip cables and they ended up being the culprit.
