My battery reduces even when charging

Hi all I think my charger input is damaged as it doesn't seem to charge any ideas or advice on what to do? I've bought a new charger but it hasn't helped

Same happened to me earlier these days. Have u tried charging via usb on a pc?

Make sure it isn't filled with pocket-fluff. That caused me some problems for a while.

Are you sure all the tasks are closed?
Look at the task manager, it happens to me when my web, facebook , facebook messanger a nd more couple of apps like games are opened at the same time.
close them all

Hi guy,
Does your battery become hot when charging ?
Perhaps you can wipe battery log it may help to start from 0 in battery stats.

Finally I find someone with the same issue. I still haven't figured out what causes it, but it only happens in some roms.
Sent from a dream.

Could be the cable as well.
Read quite often about it. Specially if you purchased a very cheap cable.
I'd take a look with battery monitor widget, how much mA is being put into your battery while charging.
Try another cable and see if it helps. If not, your battery may cause problems or your phone or the next cable isn't capable or whatever...
But it's pretty easy to find another cable for testing, right?
(don't know if you just bought a new charger or a cable as well)

Exactly! he is right. I had the same issue of charging and my pc also did not recognize my phone but I changed my cable I resolved all the issues regarding charging and pc recognition. Must check your cable and try to purchase an original one. I hope this will solve your problem.

Try charging it in the recovery.

Should i buy battery, please help?

Hello. I am using b528 rom.
And my battery goes around 3-4 hours. I always charge, i dont know how my battery became so bad. I am using it for 1 year and 5 months. I always left on usb charge on nights, i use even if it has low charge etc, so mybe because of those.
So now i want to buy new battery because i need this phone. Maybe usingh two batteries can help me?

Like that, a home charger, charging the 2. battery in the night and next day, when main battery finished, i can use other.
Or

Connect your phone without battery. After it completely boots put your battery in the phone for 5 minutes and see if it charges or not.

I dont know, maybe it can hardm the software. I did this after minutes of showing "no charging", it stupidly started to charge. For 20 minutes, it is now around %8.
I think my cable has problem because when i move the cable, it disconnects. But my battery is not best i think. I wiped battery stats, fixed permissons. I dont know what to do now. I dont want to buy another battery but i dont know.

Update
I told i used my brother's usb cable and it charged until %8. Then i connnected my usb cable, it showed it was charhging but it was still %8 after 10 minutes so i took of, and then it showed %1. So i think my cable is broken? Now i am charging via ac but phone shows usb charging and it is still %2. Should i countinue or take off ?

Keep it on for atleast 20mins in USB w/o battery in. Then insert battery and charge for about 2 hrs w/o touching. It should be about 5%. Let it charge all night w/ AC.

Hello all, I'm having the same issue with an AT&T Impulse 4G, aka the wonderful Huawei U8800-51... This is running the stock AT&T OTA 2.2 froyo version, never been rooted or messed with.
It won't charge really at all, and I've tried a new battery also. It will boot and run OK when connected via USB, with no battery installed. I've only been able to get it to 12% battery, I did this since I wanted at least 10% charge to do an FDR. It won't last when charging on the AC, I've gotten the battery to around 5% on USB and then powered it off, then plugged it into the wall charger. I've tried both the Huawei OEM charger (1mA) and a replacement charger (650mA).
After a while of being plugged into the wall, the phone won't boot and the red LED just stays lit. I have to remove the battery and plug it in via USB to get it to boot again.
Is there anything in the OS that can go wrong and not let it charge the battery? (even though the screen shows the lightning bolt in the battery icon). I've gotten a battery monitor widget installed from Wifi. Other than that nothing has been installed whatsoever, it's FDR wiped, cleared cache, and the only other thing I've done is surfed the web a few times to verify connectivity after each FDR.
Or do I have a hardware problem? I've used different AC and USB cords, wiggled them a little bit in the port on the phone - it doesn't do anything and it's all the same - it just won't charge.
Or do I need to charge the battery externally somehow to some decent level and then throw it in the phone? Is there anything I can try to do from the basic OS or an app I can try to revive a battery (I have two) and get it to at least charge the battery fully just once so I can mess with it for more than a few minutes at a time?

I don't think the USB port itself is broken, since I don't lose/gain/drop any charge or data transfer by wiggling various cables that I've used.
When plugged into a computer via USB, I can see all the drives on the device fine, including the removable microSD card and I can access files on the microSD card just like any other USB device.
I measured the voltage at the - and + battery terminals on the phone,obviously without the battery installed, I get 0.60 VDC on USB and 0.81 VDC when plugged into several known-good wall chargers (including the OEM Huawei wall charger which says it's a 1 amp charger, and another generic microUSB wall charger which is labeled 650 mA).
So, I can't see how that would charge a 3.7 volt battery - it actually would be draining the battery like a vampire. This is why I think there's something wrong between the USB port and those battery terminals. But I just don't know if it's wiring/board stuff, or the stock Froyo somehow.
I also measured the two batteries I have.... one is at 2.97 VDC and the other at 3.06 VDC, so I assume those are flat dead basically. Both of them are basically brand new. The original battery was an AT&T replacement that my wife got just before she just bought an iphone instead, got sick of this thing.
I will try to get a battery calibration app when I get it back on wifi, it basically only works after I do an FDR and then put a battery in after having it already plugged into USB (otherwise, I get wifi "error"). But I'm really thinking I'm going to have to just disassemble this thing and see if anything is burned/broken/etc. Or does someone just want it on the cheap??

OK, so I bought an external wall charger that charges the battery separately from the phone (and it came with yet again another battery for $7). So I have now 3 good, full batteries.
I rooted it via SuperOneClick, and installed CWM, all thanks to the root guide here on XDA. (thanks!) Everything went fine and the device appeared to function correctly, although as I was doing all this, and setting the phone back up, the battery would go from 75-60-55-50-45-40% in a matter of minutes.
But once I got it done and rooted, I went and got the battery calibration app. Put in a fresh battery at 100& and wiped the stats (I've now done this several times). The battery definitely lasts a good bit longer, but still drops pretty quickly so I will try to find some new ROMs here shortly.
The only thing that is still very strange, is that if I shut the screen off or if it goes off on its own, it will not wake up.... I have to pull the battery and it works fine on reboot. Any ideas?

[Q] Weird galaxy note 3 problem

Good morning folks, I have a strange problem with my galaxy note 3.
Since a few days, he would not charge.
When I connect it to the charger it does shows the lightning bolt on the screen, also in the menu it says Charging.
But the % are decreasing instead of increasing
When i connect it to my computer it's fully functional reading/writing also reconized by KIES.
1. First I thought the battery was broken, but this was not the case.
I put the battery in another note 3 and he just did it to charge.
2. The charger itself is not broken, the cable either. This just works with the other note.
3. Charging synch port replaced the phone, problem is not going away.
4. I have set up a custom ROM, it does not work.
5. Returning to the original stockrom
6. Carried out by phone shop Moisture Treatment
But the problem is not solved.
Should I start thinking about a motherboard problem here?
Or maybe you know something I can try.
Thank you very much in advance.
Greetings Johan

my galaxy s4 isn't charging right

I plug in my phone, the charging light turns on, then it tells me to use the charger the phone came with - I am - so why does it tell me to use the original charger when I already am!?! And furthermore, it will just randomly stop charging and tell me that my phones battery is empty even though just a few seconds before it was at 50% I turn the phone on and it says that it's at 50% but it had stopped charging and told me that it didn't have ANY battery power, now I have to have my phone on when I charge it to prevent this, but I'm 99% sure that it would charge faster when it's turned off, why is my phone doing this and how can I change it?
P.S. what's better for charging, daydream or sleep mode?

What ROM are you using and have you flashed any custom kernel?
Sometimes you need to calibrate battery statistics in order to give correct charge.

Try a different cable.

Yes. The thin cords are 1 Amperes, while the thick ones are 2 Amperes.
Using a thin cord means it won't give the phone enough power.

Moto e3 charging problem...

After using phone for a day when I plug in the charger it shows charging and the LED also shows up but the % doesn't change... in realty it doesn't charge even after 2hrs of charging... When we restart the phone it charges perfectly... Someone has discovered that the problem arises after we use OTG pendrive in the phone... I too suspect the same...
