when I woke up one morning my device gave a moisture warning.device says I need to unplug the charging cable.I waited for six hours to get better.then did not charge with adapter.currently only charging from devices such as televisions or computers.and the battery runs out too fast.if I disconnect the cable during charging it will never charge again.need to reboot to charge.computer doesn't recognize my phone.what should i do please help.
My phone recently had this problem, but it only lasted a couple days. Once I got out of the humidity the warning went away. The only workaround I found was to turn the phone off, plug it in, get the charging warning, then turn it back on and it will charge to 100% on fast charge. Kind of a pain, but it worked for me. I tried all sorts of things like clearing cache, etc but I think it was really sensing moisture. The sensor is way too sensitive.

So I started charging my phone earlier and it took forever, and the phone got very hot, but I didn't think more of it and unplugged it. Then it dropped under 15% and I decided to charge it again. It's been in the charger for 30 minutes and it's only gone from 9% to 10%...
Am I the only one with this problem? =S
Edit: It still gets very warm.
Turn it off and on?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I was sort of hoping it went without saying that I had done that.
I've also tried:
Charging it through my PC
Charging it through the wall charger
Both give the same result as listed in the first post. Also tried removing everything (battery, simcard, mem.card) and reinserting it.
Still it gets very warm and charges almost nothing! =S
Are you using a different USB cable or charger than the one provided?
I have tried several different USB > Micro cables and not all of them have worked properly.
My old BB wall charger works fine, as does my old Motorola one (both plug a USB cable into), but wife's iPhone one does not.
I really don't think that's the problem... I finally got it up to 100% with the wall charger, but when I restarted it after having reinserted the MicroSD, it had dropped 13%. In a few seconds, does not make any sense =S
Night time here now though, so gonna see how much it loses in just standby, if it's a lot I'll try reinstalling the update. But this seems to be an isolated issue?
I noticed that charging it with the wall charger is at least 3 times faster.
Also, you're right, the phone can get really hot while charging and at some point it even stops charging when it's too hot , it happens easier when charging using a computer since the charge takes more time, the only thing that helped in my case was to remove the battery cover and blow some air on the battery
The problem sin't that it charges SLOWER, it charges about the same for both, currently. The problem is that it hardly charges at all...
Also, it was at 100%, then dropped to 87% just with me turning it off, reinserting the memory card and turning it on again.
I went to bed at 2am last night, then it had 87% battery. When I woke up at 9am, it was dead.
your battery is faulty
email SE telling them your battery wont charge but that your friends/spare/new battery does charge when in your phone (to rule out the usb fault that some x10's had) and then they should send you one out.
Need some feedback, any one has had a bad battery yet? I had mine charging up to 85% yesterday and went back to bed thinking that today (sunday) morning will wake up and do some early stuff but I woke up late and had a dead Streak next to me. I left it charging overnight (I know it was only 15%) but you never know when you're going to need that extra juice. I tried turning it on, no luck, took the batt out tried turning on with only the mains plugged in, no go, I had blinking LEDS for a short moment then it turned off and that was it until I decided to jump start the phone (I don't recommend doing this to no one) with a BB Bold Battery (3.7V 1500mAh) all of a sudden I get the battery with exclamation mark, like I had a dead battery, I've only had the device for 2 weeks, also this is a Beta Unit I bought "AS-IS" but the problem was a simple restore and not the battery. now I manage to charge the battery in a raw way, just hot wired into a 4.2v DC. now the big question...
I'm at 40% battery it is draining very little, I would even say it is under normal operation, but i can't tell I don't have a SIM on it ATM. but I checked on "spare parts" to see status of the battery and it all seems ok but the bit that says BATTERY STATUS: discharging
No matter where I plugged the wire it is discharging, the phone is being detected on windows/mac any computer I plug, the phone does detect where the source is coming it says AC when I plug into the charger that came with, if I plug it into the USB of the computer it does says USB but it will never say charging, I even transfered files to the phone to test the wire, seems to me I have a crappy battery but just need more feedback, anyone has had this problem before? on any phone should I call Michael Dell and order another batt?
P.S. I have a BB Javelin had the same problem did jump started the battery and now the mobile is charging no probs and it DOES hold charge.
UPDATE: Ok guys any of you running 2.1 (8105) on your USA Beta (probably regular too) and have this issue about not charging, I went back to 1.6 (4399) issue is gone, I also had the crazy screen couldn't unlock/answer phone, will see if that is gone too, more than likely it is but I'm not 100% sure.
if it wont charge using usb or mains but only by jump starting it, then the streaks charging circuit is most probably f***ed.
Hi,
By battery was running low so i turned the tablet off, plugged it in and went out. When i came back i turned it on only to find that the charge was at the same level as when i left it. I first thought it was the charger, but after testing it was fine. On plugging the charger back in the battery symbol comes up and shows that it is full, before the screen goes black for a short period before the symbol comes back up again showing it is full (Im unsure if it normally does when charged as i cant remember)
I then turned the tablet back on and left it to charge. The device charged slowly, but when i checked the battery status the tablet claimed that it was NOT charging.
Im worried that when it runs down it will not charge to turn back on. On the other hand it might recognise the battery is flat and charge normally.....
Anyone got any suggestions?
Update: I left it on and plugged in overnight and it charged back up to 100%, albeit very slowly (I woke up once and checked and it had only reached 75% after about 4 hours).
So still not sure what to do. Factory reset?
Even i had the same problem
Try changing ur usb cable,
it worked for me
Stock USB cable lasted one day for me. Absolute garbage. No problems using the stock cable from my ancient HP Touchpad.

Sorry to jump on a fairly of thread, but....
Hi Barking Mad,
Did you ever get to the bottom of your particular charging issue? I've bought a TN7from ebay, and I'm having ng exactly the same problems as you described. Not really charging when turned off and the screen showing the charging symbol for a couple of seconds before going black and then showing the same symbol again. It will charge whilst turned on, albeit it very slowly.
I was just hoping you may be able to shed some light on my problem for me!
Thanks
David

make sure you use a hi capacity charger 1A plus most phone chargers are too low and will only trickle charge when the unit is off, also my four came from ebay with no power faults and I patched a QI charger inside the casing as the usb ports had failed.
I'd do that to any tn7 now as the port is just too fragile and might be needed for an emergency recovery.
So I let the phone get below 15% the other day and I plugged it into a charger from an older samsung device and continued browsing. Before I knew it the phone was at 0% and it just shut down. While still plugged in, the phone made a few attempts to boot up but at the end I had to get the battery out. After getting the battery in and plugging in the charger again the phone didn't show any signs of life. Like I hard bricked it. After a few desperate attempts the screen flashed and a few minutes later the phone booted up like it normally would (This happened while it was still plugged in). Now it just won't charge as quickly even with the fast charger. The phone normally gets pretty hot while charging, now it just stays cold.
NOTE: I had it charging trough the night with the old charger but it didn't go over 15%.
I am running Ressurection remix 20150714.
I think it's got something to do with the hardware, and if it does, would the warranty fix this?

That's really not normal if your phone don't get hot while charging
Try a different cable (maybe it charging too slow), buy a new charger or charge your phone on PC. Check if an app use much battery/CPU and check if the battery is swollen or try an another battery. Update your ROM version maybe it's a software bug or reflash it. If nothing solve the problem then maybe you need to clear the usb socket of your phone or it's maybe damanged . Be careful if you clear the usb socket!
Sorry for too much maybe's
Good luck :highfive:
I checked the port, it's pretty nasty but I doubt that's the problem. I'll try and clean it up with a toothpick or something.
Checked the CPU usage and apps and it all seems normal.
I'm not home currently, but I'll do a full reset and roll back to cm11 when I get back.
I've used a travel charger from an older device, an Alcatel charger which actually charged my phone and my factory charger. The factory charger works best for now but it still takes like 5 hours to charge. The phone took less than 2 hours before...
Anyway thanks for the help so far, I really appreciate it.
How much mA you get while charging with the original one? Check it via Gsam battery app
Downloaded it, here's what I got.
Gsam is alternative of Bbs, but with better gui. Look at my ss - I can saw mA of discharge and charge the battery. With stock battery Ive got around 750mA
Yesterday for whole night i kept the mobile for charging and it showed 8% charged i thought it charged up and removed the socket before I knew it the phone was at 0% and it just shut down. While still plugged in, the phone made a few attempts to boot up but at the end I had to get the battery out. After getting the battery in and plugging in the charger again the phone didn't show any signs of life. Like I hard bricked it. After a few desperate attempts the screen flashed and a few minutes later the phone showed the sign of charging but it ended up (This happened while it was still plugged in). Now it just won't charge as quickly even with the fast charger and it wont shows any sign of life.
NOTE: I charged for whole night but is charged to only 8%
Yesterday, my S8 said that there was moisture in the charge port. I look in there and saw that there was something in there, I tried to blow it out several times but managed wipe it out with a handkercheif. After that I swiped the notification and it didn't come back again.
At night time, I plugged my phone to the charger to see that after the phone's screen went off, it stopped charging to come back again when the phone screen turned on. It kept repeating this cycle. But when I unlocked the phone it continued to charge until the phone's screen turned off.
I changed the charger, it charged even when the screen was off. Also, it worked when I tried to use a powerbank. But when I used the packed in charger, it kept repeating the cycle.
Thinking that it might be a bug, I restarted the phone to see it's fixed.
I closed the phone to switch it on this morning. But before I switched it on I plugged the charger to see that it gave the "Drop" icon meaning that there is moisture in the port. Then I switched the phone on. The problem came back! It didn't charge when the phone's screen was off. After I tried to charge it with another charger, I plugged the original charger back. It worked even when the screen was off.
To be sure there wasn't anything stuck in the portI closed the phone, filled the port with water, waited untill its dry and plugged the charger. I stopped giving me the "Drop" icon and started charging the phone.
After that, I turned on the phone and plugged the charger. The problem was fixed!
But "was" fixed... After a while, the problem still persists.
If you can say what might be causing this, thank you!
I think, the problem cause is Fast Charge 2.0
Now I opened the Advanced Battery Options to disable the fast charging, but it turns out that is was already disabled! But wait, it says that its "Fast Charging". To enable it, I unpluged the USB-C. It enabled itself! After plugging the cable back, the problem is solved. At least for the time being.
Some interesting stuff is going on with this phone XD
I got similar problem. After connecting charger phone says fast charging blablabla and after 5 seconds charging is stopped and then after 1 second it charging again but with no fast charging. I've tyied few diferent chargers and cables also i've cleaned usb c port wiith isopropyl alcohole with no luck. Fast charging missing. Restart and switching on/off fast charging performed few times - no luck. Must be a bug in system... any ideas folks??
well i dont have does issues with my s8... but it did once happen that phone didnt want to fast charge but after repluging the cable issue was solved...i would advice u to take ur device to waranty service cuz solving problems on ur own is not acceptable and ur device shouldnt have those issues.
