When I plug the phone to the AC or to the computer, the battery icon shows that the phone is plugged and even says that the Turbopower is on but the battery doesn't charges. I checked in the battery status and it says the phone is not charging. Could it be something from software?

Hi, I'm wondering if there's any software out there that disable charging of the Diamond when the usb cable is plugged in. The reason is for protecting the battery from frequent charging and discharging, which I believe isn't good for the battery.
Thanks.
Maybe I'm completely mistaken, but there's an option for that when you click on the battery symbol. I'm not on an english ROM, but it reads something like "do not charge when connected via USB".
Settings -> System -> Power
Check "When device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the PC"
yes, but frequent charging is not going to do any harm to your battery
Leaving the Phone in USB Tether mode, it may not charge.
Today my Focus was down to about 20% charge remaining. I hooked it to the computer and it indicated it was charging. I came back a few hours later expecting to see it close to fully charged. It was showing the charge indication, but it was also showing it was almost completely discharged. (The battery icon flips back and forth from the charge icon the the current battery charge icon) I pulled the usb cable and it immediately told me the battery was critically low.
I put the USB cable back in, hooked it to the AC adapter this time and it showed it was again in charge mode.
I opened the diagnostic for the battery, *#2*#, and it showed 4% charge.
I removed the battery and it was not hot. I reinserted the battery and in the past few hours I am showing 67% charge now. I also had left the USB tethering option in there from yesterday, so I set it back to Zune and the phone rebooted for that. The battery is not very warm.
I don't know what to think. It looks like leaving it in USB Tether after i tried that yesterday might have caused it to refuse to take a charge in spite of showing the charge indicator. If anyone else has put theirs in USB Tether and not switched it back to Zune afterwards, I would like to know if it will really charge being left in that USB Tether mode.
Not odd at all. In the past, Samsung WM phones are known to disable charging when in USB modem mode.
Hi,
I'm having this weird problem, maybe it's just a setting, but let me explain:
I connect the Flipout to my PC using the original USB and you can choose "charge, read memory, etc..."... anyways, the phone charges (the battery indicator jumps from left to right and eventually fills up).
However, I use the same USB on the original wall-charger then the battery changes to an "electric shock", and the wall-charger "supports" the phone (the battery does not drain), but does not charge. So if you got 50%, you will stay on 50% battery.
I connected the phone to the wall charger having 0% for about a half hour, and the phone is still no 0% (start on-screen).
When I unplug the charger, then I get a pop up saying "charger disconnected - save energy and plug out the charger from the wall".
So, what's wrong? The phone recognizes the charger, but it does not charge...
Greetings.
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..
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!
