rofl, thanks, it is 100% just the battery right? guess time to buy another.
You might wanna try a different charging cable/usb wire. I had a USB cable go bad and it would mount the phone but it wouldn't charge it. Then I would check the charger itself, then consider a battery issue
Process of elimination

Most likely. While it's not a bad idea to keep trying other chargers, I've never had a bad charger show a battery warning like that. Looks to me like the device isn't connecting to it, so it's either a bad battery or a bad connection in the phone.

Look at your actual USB plugin on the phone. I just sent mine in to samsung for repair because some of the metal contacts on the USB plugin itself got bent up and back into the phone so they would not make contact to the USB cable anymore. I think that certain contacts control data while others control charging.

I had the opposite of what happened to you, phone would charge but not connect to PC. I cleaned out my USB hub and pushed around the pins inside with a very, very small precision flathead screwdriver. What do you know, it started working all of a sudden!

Hello, as the title suggests , my HTC One X is using more power than the charger can provide, even when idle.
When the phone is on, it doesn't charge unless the screen is off, and even then it is very slowly. Almost we whenever I turn the screen on it starts to discharge when plugged in. I am using the standard 1000mah charger.
It only used to do that when I was playing 3d games (only the highest).
I am using ARHD 7.1.0 and faux 004b6.
Please help, this is hard to live with
After I wiped battery stats and had it on for about 10 minutes (started on 5%).

Mine did this when I was charging on the computer via USB but I think it was due to the fact USB is only 500mA i think and the cable I had was like 2 meters in lenght so wasnt expecting much. Are you using the USB you got with it?

Use the original cable and see what happens, most 2m cables are very inefficient.

When you play a fairly intensive game like minecraft and try to charge it then yes it will take longer to charge. For the quickest charging time use the official plug and cable and have the phone turned off.
Looks like it was the cable, the metal inside had gone all black I don't know why. Thanks for the help.
Hi,
Does anyone know how I can charge the battery without the phone?
I tried to connect a USB cable (red & black wires) tot the + and - of the battery (correct polarity, I checked on the internet).
But that doesn't make sense, battery isn't charged after several hours.
Does any1 know how I can do this?
Thx very much!
Pieter
Why not just get a charger from eBay or Amazon? Doing it your way, even if it sort of works, may do serious damage to the battery. And the last thing you want to do its smoke a lithium ion battery.
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk 2
not sure if it safe/possible to it any other way then in the phone or a charger ment for it. there are universal ones and ones specific to the g2/dz that charge the batter without the phone. if you were do get it charging another way you may overcharge it, granted I believe the oem batteries should have a function to stop the charge @ a certain point but why taje the chance?

If you can afford to check on amazom.com. I bought an universal external wall charger from them and it came with 2 batteries as well.

Thx 4 your help.
I will explain why I'm asking this question:
the USB port of my Desire Z is broken.
I have ordered a completely new motherboard to fix this issue.
The board will be send to my homecountry from Hong Kong.
They will send it this week.
Until then, I have no Desire Z because the battery is empty and I can't charge anymore...
I can't remember the brand, but over at Staples there are these 7$ USB adapters for just bout any kind of battery , you just move the prongs to the contacts on the battery and slip it into a USB port (but given how our batteries have the contacts on the bottom instead of on the wide surface that may be difficult).
But yea I would say using an actual charger would be your best bet.
Where did you order your motherboard from?

here you go, something like this.
Am I just nit picking or does mine seem like something is applying downward pressure on the plate? I can't slide it straight in, I have to angle it down. It's like I had to work it over and break it in.

Because highly OCD. I replace OEM chargers if someone else plugs their phone in. It's pretty severe. I could continue using it, but I keep back up. I mean stock pile of back ups.

you might not want to do that with this phone, its a 2 amp charger. most are only 1 amp. If you use anything but the one it came with or an oem one your phone will charge slower.

Charging slow isn't a problem. I have all day. The wall charger I keep, it's the cables that I swap.
As bad as I am with all of the above, I keep an arsenal of these.

I got myself covered.
I got really lucky on ebay and got 2 new chargers, a headset and a new battery for 15.50, all oem.

That is a steal.
I have issues. Maybe. Counted 14 OEM USB charging cables. Have more upstairs on my night stand, my day bag and some for the car. I sold off a bunch.
This is just the S3 stash. I only have one S3. Then there are different styles of Samsung chargers in a plastic bin + HTC and LG stuff as well.

I think it's a fake cable. The contacts if the phone and the ipod are electrically connected but there isn't a communication protocol for this. It's like those usb-to-hdmi or usb-to-headphones cables which sometimes popup on ebay. They look right but serve absolutely no function.

the cable or the bluetooth?
Maybe it's just me, but seems like my charging has slowed down. When I'm plugged in in doesn't say fast charging like my Note 4 did, it just says cable charging. Does everyone else's just say cable charging.
Disconect and conect
Same trouble here, unplugging and plugging back in fixes it, but I am returning it for a new one. I shouldn't need to do that

This seems odd.. I take your word for it but at the same time, are you sure it's actually "fast charging"?
How long does it take for your phone to go from 0-5% up to "complete charge"? And also, how long does it then take to go from 100% to dead?
Sent from my SM-G928T using XDA Free mobile app
It says fast charging with new cables every single time before would only say cable charging and had to mess with it a few times before it changed.I just bought a second set of cable from ebay and works every single time.
