Hi! A while ago I decided to try out to charge my Mi A1 with the official Nintendo Switch AC adapter (EU plug). In theory, it should've worked just fine, because the adapter supports 5V 1.6A power output (it says so on the adapter itself) alongside with the Switch-specific 15V 2.6A output. So basically it would've just started charging normally.
However every time I plug the Switch charger into my Mi A1 my phone indicates that it's charging for half a second, but then the charging stops and the Switch AC adapter stops working completely until you unplug it from the mains and plug it in again. It happens everytime and I've noticed this behaviour on Android 7 and 8.
I tried charging a USB-C Samsung phone and that worked perfectly fine. However another Xiaomi phone with USB-C also stopped charging after half a second with the Switch adapter having to be unplugged from the mains to start functioning again. What may be wrong? Has anyone experienced this problem with a Nintendo Switch adapter?

Maybe it only uses 15V 2.6A, too much for our device (maybe a custom kernel can change it in the future) and both stop working (the phone and the charger) preventing some damages...

My phone won't charge from a mains charger, it will charge from USB (Very slowly) and an in-car charger but not from mains. I bought another charger just to check that it wasnt the supplied HTC charger being faulty, and that doesnt work either. When i plug the new charger in the wall the charger lights up, when i plug it into the phone it doesnt light up.
The phone will charge fine from USB and the car charger, but when the phone is turned off it wont charge from USB. When i got the phone i thought i had charged it from the mains for 4 hours like the manual said, but im now thinking that it didnt charge as i didnt notice the LED lighting up. I'm wondering if by not charging it properly the first time i have damaged the battery.
I just tried the mains charger for my Jabra BT headset and it charges fine from that, but only at USB charging speed. But it charges when switched off unlike USB. I'm wondering if maybe i have done something in Advanced Config, i have enabled all the power saving settings.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what i can do and what might be wrong.
I'm running:
GEN2
Rooted
ClockworkMod
Swedish Spring Android 2.2 with Gingerbread theme and circle battery
Suddenly after a few weeks of everything working fine, AC charging stopped working. USB charging still works perfectly, and when I plug the phone in it says it is AC charging, but the charge level barely changes - it can be plugged in for 12 hours and not gain or lose any charge. Also, sometimes but not always, the phone becomes very very slow, and sometimes the screen won't unlock - I have to unplug it, unlock, then plug it in again.
I've tried different chargers and cables and combinations thereof, I've tried turning USB charging off or on in Extra Settings, I've tried debug mode on USB or not, hardware acceleration on or off, I've tried charging with the phone off or on, screen on or off, I've tried charging it for 48 hours, the charge level never moves.
This is the closest thread I can find on the issue but it is a mix of problems, and they never find a reliable diagnosis or solution:

I don't care if it charges slowly, I'm thinking of trying to mod a USB cable to force it into USB charging mode. Anyone know how?
I far prefer this to re-installing because whenever I connect my phone to my laptop it immediately bluescreens, (despite a fresh Win7 reinstall), and I am lost on my gf's Mac.
These posts describe how to do the opposite (force AC mode) on HTCs:

Thanks enormously for any tips

Since I lost my charger and had to use a generic micro-USB charger, I have the same problem. USB charge works fine.
May be a problem with the USB cable, have you tried using another one?
(I'm on Ginger Stir Fry, but I don't think it is ROM dependent. )
Thanks for the thoughts. I've tried different cables and chargers and combinations thereof to no avail, hence suspecting something software and looking to mod a cable to force USB mode.
Please anyone know what PINs indicate laptop USB rather than AC USB?
How does my phone know to go into the (disfunctional) AC mode?
Thanks
I think D+ and D- pins (2 and 3) are connected. You would have to mod the charger. Or just use generic USB charger, like those from dealextreme...
I've been having issues with battery on my S5 for months since my purchase in late September. I have recently just bought another USB 3.0 adapter[ Insignia 3' USB 3.0 from Best Buy] which seemed to rectify my slow charge/short life problem. I recently used a Samsung USB wall adapter and it charged to 100% VERY quickly. The battery lasted for almost 2 days with regular use, being used to only a half day usually. So I had used a Micro USB charger rated at 5V = 550 mA and this would not work. I tried plugging my cable into a Samsung 5v = .7A adapter and still no luck. The cable lights up with an LED on the end when it has current, and it was lighting up on the wall but the phone does not charge, however it does charge on the PC. I've also been experiencing several issues with functionality, such as not being to control the phone sometimes because of the screen flashing, this happening after making a call I did not place. Would a factory reset potentially clear up this problem. Thanks in advance.
The stock samsung charger is 5.3v 2A (2000mA) you will need something with at least those specs to charge it properly
550mA is only 1/4 the power you need, and will likely pop the charger
0.7A is still only 700mA and less than half the power you need (2000mA / 2A)
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

Any Nexus 6P owners help me out?
For some reason yesterday the phone started to refuse to charge rapidly with suitable chargers.
I tried my original Google supplied power plug and lead, and another spare USB-C charger and another usb-c to usb-c lead (RAVPOWER brand), a Ravpower usb-c power pack (again, with another usb-c to usb-c cable), and my car charger (all previously are able to provide enough power for rapid charging.)
In all the above cases the phone refused to charge at all, with only the car charger charging the phone at slow speed (no rapidly charging message on lock screen).
Luckily I was able to use an old micro usb charger at lower output with a micro > usb-c adapter which at least enabled the phone to charge at a slower rate.
I did a factory reset this morning and the issue is still there.
Is this a common issue, if so any way to fix it?
This phone has already had one battery replaced due to the issue with it shutting down after 30%.
I've defluffed the usb port on the phone with a wooden tooth pick that got rid of some fluff, but the issue still remains.
Thanks
