Rooted this past weekend with CyanogenMod-7 -- details in "Phone Info" screen shot below. Prior to root I was able to do wireless inductive charging (with appropriate battery cover and Energizer pad) with no problems at all. Since root, I can place phone on charger; charger will light (obviously recognizing good connection) but the phone does not charge at all. Could this have been caused by rooting?? If so, does anyone know of a fix?
Screenshot is attached with all relevant phone info.
Any help, as always is appreciated.
You should look into whether CM7 for the Incredible 2 supports wireless charging.
Rooting wasn't the issue, the issue is if the ROM you have supports that feature.
Flash back the original ROM (or a ROM based on the original) and it will work again.

Hi I have an HTC EVO and I didn't root it or flash any custom roms on it. It's a stock ROM from Sprint. I've been having problems with charging it though; when I charge it to my charger, the phone says its charging but the number keeps going lower and lower until it shuts off. It's like it can't keep the charge but it says it's charging? What do I do? Does anyone have this issue?

I had this issue flashing a few custom ROMs and Kernels, but would always resolve itself when returning to Stock ROM.
If you didn't flash anything I would request Sprint to have the phone replaced.
Good luck!
So does this come under a warranty for sprint or is this replaced under the 7 dollar monthly insurance plan?
I think it had a one year warranty. I feel bad that I'm not for sure about this.

Thanks for responding and for the help ugh i just hope they can replace it. Have other ppl had issues with this? I've heard Sprint may or may not replace it?
Its definitely software
I have similar issues. Occasionally the phone stops charging. At first I thought it was the cable or the charger, but:
I use the same two chargers everyday, and they work fine for weeks at a time.
When the charge cable is plugged in, the white "lightning bolt" appears in the battery icon, BUT the icon animation showing the green moving charging does not start.
Pulling out the battery, and rebooting fixes it. So it must be software.
Just not sure what software. It could be something other than the OS.
Anyone narrow it down further?
My Evo:
Stock ROMs
Still on Eclair (refusing froyo updates)
My phone wasn't holding a charge so I got a new charger. The new charger still wouldn't work on my phone.
My dad has the exact same phone as me (Sprint instead of Verizon) and the new charger worked on his phone.
I thought it might be a battery problem so I got a new battery. Once the new battery (first charge) prompted me to plug it into the charger the charger wouldn't charge. My dad's battery works fine in my phone. I want to see if anyone else has experienced this problem with their rooted or if you think it's the actual phone itself?
When my phone is turned off the charging battery icon shows. I'm stumped.

Dude first of all, totally wrong section entirely.. there is a Q&A section for a reason. Might want to contact a mod to move this..
and secondly, probably not due to rooting the phone.. all it does is give you superuser access (similar to having superuser on linux or admin rights on windows) for your phone... i have never seen any case of this breaking the charging port lol

I would wipe everything in recovery...factory reset ...system ...cache and dalvik (have a backup first) and start flashing a new ROM and see if that helps....if it doesn't then its definitely the phone itself...good luck

ok more info
what rom kernel
type of battery
charger
Can you see the phone on the computer when it's booted and plugged in? If not, your USB port is probably shot. All the other symptoms point to this and it's unfortunately common.
Troll? Lol

Lets assume for a moment they aren't.
To test to see if it's not related to any root/rom/kernel issues. Turn the phone off and plug it in. If it doesn't show that it's charging, then it's physical, or you jsut have a bad combo. I have a charger that works on everything but my phone, and my phone's charger works on everything. Chargers can really be picky, I don't know why, but I can provide proof if needed.
I'm running JBSourcery v4.2.
Samsung battery - extended, 1850 mAh
Charger - iGo
When the phone is off it shows that it is being charged.
My computer hasn't ever recognized the phone when it's plugged into the ports.
I've been seeing the following problem on my Note II (L900): I plug it into the micro USB wall charger and the phone will not register that it is charging (no vibration, no change in battery icon, battery stats list "Discharging"). Sometimes this will change in a few seconds, other times it will take a minute or more. If I unplug it, the phone will tell me it's charging. It remains in this state a few seconds or more. Plugging in a second time will sometimes result in a quicker charging response (other times, not).
The problem first cropped up on a stock rooted MC2 build. It also appears on digiblur. CM builds seem to be immune as do some MK4 custom ROMs (no issue on Synergy or STS). It's frustrating because MC2 based ROMs seem to run best on the phone: great battery life, smooth performance and a lack of the nanny-ware that Samsung has added to the MK4 builds (I'm looking at you, high volume warning!).
Has anyone else seen this problem? I know that some of you are going to be quick to tell me that some part of my hardware is screwed up and it might be, but it seems strange that the problem is somewhat ROM-dependent.
I'd appreciate the help. Mainly, my goal is to get digiblur to work. If I could get it to charge it would be more top choice of ROM. That is, unless there is a way of keeping CM10 or 11 from ripping through my battery. Not an exaggeration, BTW, I get half the life on CM.
I'm relatively new to posting on XDA, but I'm not new to flashing ROMs. I had a OG EVO that ran CM7 until I upgraded. I'm a novice but a quick study.

Battery doctor has worked wonders for quickly/efficiently charging my zerolemon 9400mha as well as giving me options to save battery life and showing me the saving in minutes gained.
usb
my biggest issue is that when connected to a computer through usb it will lose connection randomly... then it will reconnect 1 second later and pop up on my computer as an "unrecognized" device

Update: I may have found the source of the problem. I had a Titanium Backup nightly schedule that backed up all System and User apps. I switched to just User apps. My theory was that some system process wasn't being restarted properly after the backup completed. Perhaps related to the charge full notification? No idea. Turns out that my problem has seemed to disappeared since I made the change.
Very interesting that this issue seems to have be software and not hardware dependent. I'd love to hear a dev perspective.

Okay, the problem is back. It is very infuriating. Here's another data point. When I am in TWRP, I can see that the device is charging ("Battery: 64%+), but not in the OS. Again, I would love to hear a DEV opinion on this issue.
troubleshooting
First things first. You need to positively identify the source of the problem as to either hardware or software. Try a couple different charge cables and chargers and note the results. I'm willing to bet it's your USB cable. I've had the same symptoms with what I thought was a mint condition SAMSUNG USB cable. Turns out they lose continuity inside the cable over time due to bending, pulling, etc. Test with a confirmed good Samsung charger & cable if possible. After you confirm your USB cable & charger troubleshooting then move on to the micro USB port itself. That's not easy to do but chances are it's one or the other. Being that you've flashed a few different ROM with same charging issue, I'm confident it's the usb cable or the port or both.

Thanks. I ended up replacing the USB board. It was cheap and surprisingly easy to do. So far so good. It's been really solid so far.
me either
same problem, after I unplug my usb wall charge, still battery icon has volt
and the status is charging.
cm12.1 rom, does the rom changes my harware?
how to solve this? please. tell me.
Hi,
I have problem with my Note II. I was running Omega rom for 2 weeks without any problems but today in the morning I could not to charge my phone. So I turned off the phone to charge it while is off but when I connected the cable, phone immediately booted (it is bug of rom). So I flashed CyanogenMod. Now Iam running CM11 and when I connect phone to charger it shows me that it is charging and LED diod is lightning but it doesnt charge phone. TWRP recovery also cant charge it. I tried to connect phone to PC and with Odin flash stock rom but PC doesnt recognize my phone although on the phone is showing that it is connected (drivers on the pc I have installed). I really dont know where is problem. Sorry for my bad english, thanks for help.
1. Did you try other chargers?
2. Did you try other cables to pc?
3. Is it possible you have damaged the usb port?
4. Do you have an external battery charging device? Will the battery charge?
5. Do you have a second battery? Any difference?
If you've damaged the usb port then either replace it (I'm not sure how big a job this is but typically it's not a big job, depends how and what it is joined to.)
Or get a second battery and external charger.
I have ignored software issues. I'm not sure what has influence over charging, but certainly the kernel is involved - you've change rom and kernels. The bootloader the same but without odin or some indication it could even cause the issue changing it is by other means isn't a good choice. If you can get a 2nd device, visually inspect the port to see if its damaged, do the same with the charger.
Good luck

1. yes
2. yes
3. I dont know, but on CyanogenMod is LED diod shining and phone can detect that it is charging, but in fact it doesnt charge it. And OTG is working too, so I think USB is not damaged.
4. I havent any external battery
5. I tried my second battery but it is doing that same, phone is not charging.
I think it is maybe software brick or something similar and flashing stock rom I think maybe can help but there is problem that PC doesnt recognize my phone so Odin cant find device too /drivers I have installed/.
Thanks
If your only indication that this is a software issue, is that you get a response but no charge; I wouldn't be surprised if a damaged charging contact did that. Also, the battery contact points are worth inspection. If you ever got these things wet and didnt dry them straight away rust starts and never stops.
You should change your thread title, when someone sees brick they think off and won't switch on. Your title should, "Can't charge battery; odin won't connect"
I agree it could be a software issue, but apart from trying other versions of odin (3.0.7 & 3.0.9), on other pcs too; the only other solution to software issues is JTAG. Which isn't really a solution for most. Anyway, again good luck, oh and press thanks rather than say it
Hi everyone!
I'm investigating charging issue with A70 Europe version.
Bought used one with stock ROM, then unlocked and installed crDroid based on android 10.
Additional modules: Magisk, EdXposed, FakeGapps, MicroG
Apparently after ~1-2 years it started charging really slowly.
(Used orignal adapter and cable) So I thought it was broken and changed it.
It didn't help
I recently moved to LineageOS 20 straight from crDroid.
Issue persisted and I was annoyed with it so much that I checked charging parameters with Wattz app from f-droid.
With different cables and adapters I'm able to achieve Max 0.4 A with 2A charger.
Where in most cases it is 0.1A with 1.5A charger
I got it to the cell phone repair where I said I suspect that it may be the port as it stopped transferring any data.
They fixed port but charging issue persisted.
In that moment I decided to try fix it myself.
I opened the phone and changed battery as it was also discharging fast.
It didn't help.
I started reading some similar threads here.
So what is left:
- change the tape that connects main board with port (it is said to be a common issue on samsung device)
- reflash stock rom and see what happens there.
what do you think?
do you need any pictures of the phone or other details?
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE:
Device is A705FN
Did both.
Changed ribbon cable that connects main board with port and flashed stock ROM based on android 11.
Disabled adaptive charging in settings.
But it didn't help.
This could mean that it is some other hardware issue but I'm run out of ideas...
Other observation:
Measuring Watts:
(Stock charger) When I power on the phone, drain is ~10W till it enters offline charging mode or system is on, then it stays exactly 0.5W ! I'm not sure if it is charging. When system is powered it says no.
To compare with my msm8998 based Sony Xperia ~10W till it enters offline charging mode, then it stays at something like 4.6W with 1.5A charger.
Both tested while charging above 90%
I'm totally pissed of. I put money to repair it but nothing seems to work.
I'm sure about one thing - I'll never ever buy any other samsung smartphone.
This sounds like a charging board issue from the very beginning. Charging problems do happen on this phone sometimes but usually just reseating the ribbon cable is enough to make it work again. Perhaps some chip has failed, though this happens much more rarely.
