So I got my MX4 yesterday, opened it like a kid at Christmas. But weirdly the battery won't charge while the phone is turned on.
I left it overnight plugged in to a good charger and turned on, and it didn't even raise 1%. But when I turn it off and connect to a charger it charges with no issues.
I suspect this isn't hardware related due to the fact that it charges fine when turned off.
Anyone have any ideas?
I've posted similar thread on the Ubuntu Touch forum, if this is an issue feel free to close one thread.
Thanks!

I have been having issues charging my 16GB DVP, it started last week I plugged the phone in for the night and I know it started to charge but when I woke up in the morning the battery was dead. This happend the second night too. I made sure I had the original cable and plug and it happend the third night.
Thinking the plug might be bad I left it plugged into my USB but it was dead the next morning. The strange thing is if I'm at work I leave it plugged in most of the day and I never have that problem.
Anyone else having this problem?
I have the same problem. I can only charge with my laptop. Will not charge if I plug into wall although the icon says it's charging, it doesn't. And I'm using the factory cable and plug.
Looks like a few people have had this problem.

Are You Having Battery Trouble With Your Windows Phone 7?
Posted by Jason Dunn in "Windows Phone Talk" @ 05:40 PM
Over the past month or two, I've seen scattered reports of people having trouble with their Windows Phone 7 devices related to the battery charging. I haven't had any problems yet, but I don't think this is an isolated incident. Symptoms include:
Connecting your phone via USB to your computer and having the battery drain rather than charge
Connecting your phone via USB to a wall charger and having the battery not charge at all even after hours of being connected
The battery is showing a low power indicator, but if you power off the phone, take out the battery, put it back in, and power up the phone, it will actually be fully charged
Seen anything like this yourself? Vote in the poll and post a comment with details.
As of this morning my TF nor the dock will charge from the charger. I suspect the charger itself is damaged somehow but I cannot find anything physically wrong with it from the outside.
EDIT: Weird, after the 20th time playing with it, taking it apart, reseating the USB cord, etc, it finally started charging again after hours of aggravation. Hopefully it stays that way....
I'm thinking the inner pins somehow lost contact with the interposer. I've also noticed that the adapter gets alarmingly warm when charging. As in it's hotter than the PSU I use for my Alienware m17x R2, which is almost hot enough to give a mild burn.
My charger gets pretty warm as well. I think because its charging the device at such a fast pace.
Takes twice as long to charge my phone than the transformer!

Yeah I'm just hoping this whole thing doesn't keep happening. Had the charger on the dock for a while before I realized it wasn't charging since there's no indicator other than the LED. I'm just glad I got the dern thinking working again. Figures it would get fixed not 5 minutes after I post here and send a ticket in to Asus.
I wonder if cutting a few vents on the charger or at least blowing some air with a fan might help. Perhaps there is a thermal protection shutdown circuit.
there are several threads about this here one;

i had the same problem, not had it since, something is definitively happening with the charger, changing sockets seemed to help
My charger actually died on me. It doesnt charge at all anymore with the included charger. I can still use the cable to charge off of USB, but that is sloooow. I bought an iPad charger (2 amp) and it charges a bit faster. At least I can still use my tablet until a replacement charger is available.
Just FYI I was told by Asus CS a replacement would not be available for awhile, and they wouldn't RMA the charger by itself.
Sounds like many of the charger problem is the contact between the country plug adapter and the charger itself. First thing I would do if it stopped charging is remove the country plug adapter , clean contacts and reinstall. Sometimes in the process of plugging in or removing the charger, you move contacts enough to either make or break the connection.
Loses charge significantly on standby
I left it on standby last night @ about 70pc. When i turn it on this AM, it is at 20pc Any workarounds?

Standby and off are very different states. In standby, it's STILL RUNNING. If you leave the WiFi on, it's still communicating over the network. Applications are still running in the background.
I did a test recently (right before I got my dock). I left the TF in 'standby' with WiFi on (turned off the sound) and went to sleep. About 9 hours later, the battery was down around 50%.
Next day I did the same, but I turned off WiFi. Battery ended up still being above 90%.
The workaround is turning it off. Disabling WiFi reduces battery consumption in standby, but it does not eliminate it.
And for the 'stopped charging from the AC adapter' issue, it seems that unplugging the adapter from the wall for a while seems to reset the charger.

I feel this is a shortcoming of honeycomb than asus. hopefully this gets fixed in a future update. Havent seen this behavior in any other mobile device.

Which part do you think is a problem with Honeycomb instead of Asus?
The dock issues or the power supply not charging? How can the OS be responsible for either? (save for driver issues with the keyboard, which Asus fixed with an update)
I actually had this happen to me, but reassembling the charger didn't fix it for me. I ended up restoring to fix it. Haven't had any issues since.
I had the same problem. Did as stated above... Left charger unplugged for 20-25 minutes, then gave it a try and now it's back to charging... All good.
Information of PSU model with known fault here:

Possibly a related issue? My Transformer is now not charging although I believe either my cable is faulty or the connector to the tablet itself. I don't have my official Asus charger with me today so I plugged it into another USB power charger and I get nothing. When I plug the cable into my computer the Transformer does show up as a device in Windows however there is still no charging.
Hi,
Ive had the oppo for just over a day now and the first day all was well until last night. I had about 10% battery and left the phone on charge. half an hour later i came back and it was on 2% and then it died. I connected my phone to my computer via the usb cable and the charging indicator came on. The phone has been charging for 3 hours and is still on 0% and as soon as i take it of the phone dies.

sorry to hear about the charging problem. I have not heard of that. Some have complained that it charges slow. I have the opposite experience, mine charges relatively quickly I think. Anyway, have you tried contacting OPPO support. They will respond withing 24hrs, assuming it's not the weekend!
I also experienced some charging issues. Connected my Find to my laptop the other evening, closed the lid and went to bed.
The next morning the phone was out of juice. For some reason, my Find 5 will not charge when my laptop is hibernating. It charges fine otherwise.
No other phone I've owned has this problem. I tested it with my old Galaxy Note and HD2. No problems charging when laptop is hibernating.
I also noticed that sometimes when connected as Media Device (MTP) it says charging....but the battery level still goes down.

Probably the power output is not enough to charge the phone properly, it also happens to me, but with the stock charger it does it well.
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.
Hi everyone.
I have the Galaxy S4 I9505, and recently when i woke up in the morning i saw that my phone had not charged, and that the battery was dead. The micro usb port had been acting weird for a while, and would only accept the charger that i had at home, but now it wouldn't even accept that one. So i replaced the charging module hardware part with a new one, but it still won't charge, turn on or react to anything. I have tried to put in a fully charged battery (charged using external charger), but the phone still won't turn on. Any clues to why this have happened? My phone was fine before this whole ordeal, besides the charging problem that is.
Regards
Stefan
