[Q] Charging is only possible through USB

Hi
I have the Galaxy S5 for about 1 month now and I like it very much. But two days before, I noticed issues with charging the phone through the AC Adapter (Samsung original USB Charger) - the phone did not charge during the night. So the phone stopped charging with the wall charger. I tried out many other USB chargers and also USB 3.0 cable. Without success!
It charges just fine when it's plugged into my laptop or desktop PC.
When the phone is turned on and I plug the charger in, nothing happens. The battery condition in android is still "discharging". But when the phones is turned off and plugged into the wall charger, it vibrates in intervals and the screen stays blank (the little battery animation doesn't appear). Removing the battery and replacing it does not help. I tried almost everything...
Has anybody an idea? Otherwise it seems to be a hardware problem. Same issue also here: Androidforums
I'm on OMEGA 5 ROM now with OMEGA Kernel. I cannot believe that the OMEGA Kernel has something to do with this issue.
Thanks for any help

It seems that it was a hardware problem, probably because of some water inside the USB connector. After some days I blow out the socket with a spray duster and since this time, the issue never happened again. :good:
I think, I will never test the water resistance again...

Did water enter the usb port and was the flap closed or not?

The flap was closed of course. I don't know if water has entered into the socket, but I think not.
One day after my post, the issue happened again. Now, I have updated to OMEGA 5.1 and flashed the Samsung stock kernel instead of the Omega Kernel. Now, the issue never occured again.
I cannot believe that this is because of the kernel, because the issue was also when the phone was turned off.
Now for 1 week, I never encountered the problem again

Battery charging issue

Hello,
since September I have charging problems with my Oppo Find 5.
Sometimes when I charge with a power supply it doesn't charge, it decreases then or stays at the same level.
I tried several different cables and chargers, but I coundnt find a connection to the charging behavier and the charging devices I used.
Tonight it was switched off and connected to the standard charger but switching it on in the morning: 0 %...
I'm using Cyanogenmod (Android 5.0.2), I thought of flashing another rom, maybe that will do it...
Has somebody another idea or has similar expiriences?
Best regards,
gragib

Hi... I had the same problem some wks ago. I think there is a mechanical issue, but I don't understand. Now I return to the official CM12 (the best ROM for my experience) and the charge is ok.

Maybe change the connector.

Anyone have charging problems with Note 4 ? No fast charging , not charging at all

HI everyone Anyone have charging problems with Note 4 ? No fast charging , not charging at all?

I was having an issue with no fast charging. Changed the usb cable and blam, works like a charm now. Check your cables first before buying a charger.

Everything was working fine for me and than before 2 days for no reason fast charging don't work for me for no reason with my original cable and adapter for fast carge. I tryed carge on other 5 cable and adapters and the phone don't won't even charge at all ...nothing happens when I plug in ....only on original charger start charging and 2 min later start discharge and pop up message if I want to share power (give power to other device )???
In the end my phone died and I couldn't charge it to start up ...so I buyed external battery charger for note 4 and charge battery , and Flash PIT file + original stock rom in 1 flashing process and now charging on all 6 chargers with no problem.
I was trying with flashing 4 different stock firmware but didn't help until I included PIT file.
Before I across charging problem I was running Kybi note 5 port and was working week's normally.
Now I'm afraid to run any custom rom ...lol

Humm that's a strange problem to have. You can check under the battery setting in settings and make sure fast charging is checked.

One night i was charging my Note 910g as per normal using the fast charger. The next morning it died off and when i press to turn on, it warned me that there was a high temperature of over 90 degrees and therefore caused the shut off. From then on i cant charge using the usb port on the phone. My laptop cant detect the device so ended up charging using the portable cradle. Found out the charging port on the phone shorted. So i ordered from eBay and have it fixed cause i cant send to Samsung even it is only 5 months old due to tripped knox status.

[Help] USB not Recognized! and Phone Charging is very very slow.

I have been facing the issue of slow charging from 3 days now. It takes 9-10 hrs to charge completely. Interestingly I just plugged my phone to my PC and USB not recognized pops up every time. I tried changing USB Cables and Chargers , nothing helped. I think these two issues are closely related and some chip is blown up inside. Any idea if what could be causing this?

Use custom kernels

you find the solution ???? please help me if u can !!!

Same issue happened with me when actually Imy phone was bricked,I changed and used other usb cable,then I got solved my issue,then after 3 months,tht cable stopped to work only for my mobile (works in other mobiles still),so I have to keep changing cord n adaptor for fast charging,now iam currently using Moto turbo charging,n from 6 months it's working properly,n never use phone while charging

if pc says that the last usb you plugged is malfunction... than thats the problem with me also.. i guess phone usb port is damage some how... coz my phone also takes 5hrs to charge and pc plug say usb malfunction

You need to get your motherboard change if usb charging board is not seperate. i experienced the sam eissue on my zenfone 5, i did a thourough check, even bought its psu and relaced it. turns out its motherboard was buggy and a slight water drop on the cable mouth caused this issue. better get it replaced if its still in warranty else you will have to buy a new mobo.

I have same problem you have to change mobile usb charger connector i.e. charging port of mobile. then it will be solved.

Dude do these 3 :
1.check with another adaptor, along with ampere app make sure charging is 2A
2. Change the usb configuration, dont charge from pc it chaarges slow bcoz its DC
3. Change your rom, use custom ones or reflash whatever u r on.

Charging slowly message

So I have a strange problem. A few days ago I discovered the phone was charging so slowly and on the lock screen a text appeared: "Charging slowly". It's equivalent to USB charging with a PC or notebook. However I use wall charger the same as before, from October 2017. Ok, I thought the charger has some failures, tried an other one. Same.. "Charging slowly" (I used this second charger before and it worked well..) Then I changed the cable. Same message (I also used this cable so 100% it's not defective).
I tried 3 roms. Refleashed the stock, RR and AEx. Tried different kernels: void, mint, franco. Nothing has changed.
May it be a hardware-related issue?
Thank you

Hi did you managed to find a fix?
I am having the same issue - lock screen a text appeared: "Charging slowly". Switched few cables still having same problem. I am convinced is not cable or charger issue.

Your wall charger is most likely the problem, even official can fail, you need a powerful aftermarket to test, it could be the cable but most likely the charger no providing enough power.
No A1 but android, see here: https://android.stackexchange.com/q...d-phone-charging-slowly-how-to-make-it-faster

I use either samsungs ep-ta20ewe or lg's mcs- h04er charging between 1600-2000 mA in accubattery pro.

I've switched few cables and 2A chargers. All getting the same "Charging slowly message"

The reason why most of you are charging so slow is because most likely, your phones are warm
As soon as the battery reaches 38°c, charging begins to slow down and will continue to be slow unless you cool the phone down

The battery temp is ok. 34°C

Solution: USB module replacement
I got back my A1 about two weeks ago. The service replaced the USB module at the bottom of the phone and now it works. I used a Tronsmart QC2 charger before. Since it's been repaired I use the stock charger. I was a bit curious and tried a few days ago with the Tronsmart. Same message: "charging slowly".
I think my Tronsmart charger is deffective and now I avoid using it..
Sum up, the repair shop diagnosed the problem. The phone became deffective but they are not sure why. The USB module replace turned it good again but with the Tronsmart charger it still doesn't work. I have to use the stock charger.
(also works with other chargers from my old Samsung phones). Interesting.
(they changed the USB module under warranty, but otherwise it costs in Hungary 10 000 HUF (~31 EUR, ~36 USD).
(refer to my thread opening post, before the USB replacement, the charging with the stock one was as slow as with other chargers, ~200mah, after replacement it's ~1800mah again)

I replaced the A1 USB C module and this fixed the problem

The same solution as in my case. Nice to hear it fixed this annoying issue.

I was running into the same problem, but after 2 months of replacement I got the message of charging slowly again. Been trying to change the adapter and cable but still not working, til I got the idea to use my mac's charger and it works. I don't know why, anyone's having this issue?

Install Ampere from the Play store and check the speed. It should be ~1400mha.

Having the same issue but i found a tricky solution
I am currently running dotOS and earlier I was on Pixel Experience...on the lock screen i used to get this message along with the current and the voltage readings (mA and V) so all I did was I tried to remove and put the cable back in the phone and everytime the values changed a bit....doing this 3-4 times gave me the reading around (1700-2000) mA and 3(.9-4.1)V and the message said charging...and sometimes it said charging rapidly....and if it didn't work out then I flipped the cable( like I was putting the USB in the wrong direction).....WORKS EVERY TIME
