You cannot charge by computer USB port as the current is too low (0.5A).. the proper chargers output is 2.0A!!
At night I use a 1A Samsung phone charger and it works too for overnight.
I too have noticed that when plugged into PC no charge
you'll get a charge, but it'll be a trickle. it won't show the charging icon, but it'll charge as long as you don't use it. i think it's about 8hrs or more to completely charge via 500mA usb. i believe a custom kernel could be tweaked to squeeze 900mA out of usb 2.0.

actually, it's incorrect. you can charge from a computer as i've stated. all samsung tablets will it's just gonna take alll day to do so.
just about every tablet and phone will charge off of a computer usb por, but it's just gonna take a loooooonnnngg time. great when you're in a pinch and need a bit of juice.

Are you talking about using the device as its charging, or simply moving it (with screen off) while its connected to the charger? If charging is interrupted just by slight movement, I would suspect a loose MicroUSB port, or a damaged charger or cord. Try a different charger (any MicroUSB charge should work). And if the problem persists, return the tablet. A loose port is not easily fixable, and is going to only get worse.
Hmm I think it's not an issue, you really have a slow charge when you use try it using your pc. Try a real charger, it'll charge fast :highfive:

I understand how to charge the device. It has been a loose port. All 3 i have had have had this problem, to varying degrees.

either you've got the worst of luck or you're stronger than you think and jamming that mofo in the microusb port.
i've only had one and the microusb port is fine on mine. i do have a single cable that won't fit properly in any device and will fall out just by looking at it. one thing i've noticed about all the samsung musb cables are that they're short nibbed. do you have a case or something that may be interfering around the musb port and not allowing it to "click" in?

They may have all come from the same defective batch. I've seen cases where a person got multiple devices (other Android devices) with the same defect. Seems improbable, but apparently possible.

Your OP was pretty brief, and did not state the charge method. So that person was just throwing out a possible case/solution based on the information provided; given it was based on an incorrect assumption.

Yep, they have all done it, it mainly happens when i do something like lay down while charging the device. Go and try moving the plug slighlty and ull see it wont be charging. I had my OG note do the same thing, but that was after years. While the plug goes in deep, there is too much play with the port. Ive read others have too, and this is three straight so no fluke. Yes, the cable supplied, or any of the dozens i have for my devices.

Its normally fine if its laying flat(though ive plugged it in at night, only to realize in am that it was NOT in fully), but tryying to use the device in landscape while charging moves the cable too much
well, i know it's not any help but mine does work perfectly. i've held and rotated my tablet many times while on the charger (rotating make the galaxy charging app refresh without having that annoying pop up after a certain amount of refreshes - seems to be a useless program as the numbers don't match up with the charging time or what battery monitor widget says on any samsung tablet or phone i have).
maybe i'm just a lucky one?

Yeah, I just tried that and it didn't seem to affect my Note's charging.
I've had (or currently have) the HTC Evo, S2, S3, S4, and Note 8. My GF has the S3 and Note 8 and her mom has the Note 8 as well. None of our devices have any issues with the USB port. Generally speaking, problems with the USB port stem from improper use.

I just got the BrownBlack one, same thing. If i move the plug to the left, no charge. Granted, its worse with some cables, but the one i have at work i have no problem wiggling around with my N1
So this make four(4) N8.0 with the same issue. Cannot be the same batch, considering one is a newer color.

I apologize if this is a dumb question, but I'm not exactly an electrical engineer. I was looking at buying one of these for my room: http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/travelpower/e81a/ and it says it outputs at 2 amps. i notice the stock Samsung charger is 1 amp. Will I be doing any harm to my phone by using the wall outlet vs. my stock charger? Or will it detect it as a USB charger, charging it at a slower rate?
Ya it'll be fine, it says UP TO 2.1amps.
Also it says it charges all mobile phones that accept USB power.
yes it will work. I have a few of these installed in my house. Your device will only pull the amount of amps that it needs. The voltage is what you have to look out for...
it will work, but it is not up to the 2011 nec code as it doesn't have tamper resistant shutters, I would recommend this instead.
http://www.amazon.com/Cooper-Wiring-Devices-TR7740W-K-Combination/dp/B007NC5GI4
It works the same, is up to the latest electrical code, is cheaper and will work with a standard wallplate.
Thanks for the input everyone, I think i'm gonna spring for one (may not be the Thinkgeek one though, as the one cade80 posted and a few other's I've found are cheaper) at some point, just to cut some clutter from my bedroom a bit.

Although you lose 1 standard plug, the big plus is being able to use normal faceplates with it.

Be aware, this Cooper one is only 0.7A ... it won't charge an iPad 3 and is slower to charge then the OEM Samsung charger.

Good eye on that, depending on your needs this may outweigh the being up to current electrical codes.
most third party charger will not charge you samsung smartphone at full power.
to charge at full power you must shortcut middle pins.
"will not charge" - not correct, your phone reduce it
So I went ahead and decided to not spring for the ThinkGeek Charger, and instead bought one of these: http://www.lowes.com/pd_369050-6337...&pl=1¤tURL=/pl__0__s?Ntt=usb&facetInfo= and just put it in a standard plug to test it to make sure it worked. Well I plugged it in and the first thing I noticed was the GNex was taking a while to recognize the plug. Finally it started Charging (USB Though) which was OK with me. Well last night I plugged it in via my Samsung Charger to a standard power strip because I hadn't gotten around to installing the RCA plate yet. Well I woke up this morning and it was on like 50% power and wasn't charging. So I was like WTF. So I brought it into work with me this morning, and now when I plug the stock Samsung charger with the stock samsung cable into the wall, no charge. I tried plugging it in to my computer, and it eventually makes connection with the computer (it's not instant like It used to be) and Android File Transfer starts, but says it can't connect to the phone. Then it charges for a few minutes, up about 1%, then stops charging. So my question is, when I plugged in my phone to the RCA charger last night, did it fry my phone? Or is my charge cable maybe bad now? I haven't tried another cable yet (everyone at work is an iPhone user and doesn't have a Micro-USB cable lying around) but I'm going to try that and hope it works. If it's not the cable, is it possible that the phone itself got damaged? If so, how could I go about removing root and wiping it to take it into the VZW store for replacement without USB to the computer?
Another new development. I plugged it into a Windows Box (I was using a Mac) and when I plug it in, it says "This Device can perform faster" and talks about plugging it into a USB 2.0 port. I'm using a 2009 Macbook Pro, it has USB 2.0. It won't mount the disk either. So i'm really beginning to wonder if the USB cable is fried.
Turns out it was a bad USB cable. Went to Best Buy and bought a generic cable and it now charges and hooks up to the computer just fine. My ADB doesn't seem to be working though for some reason, on Mac or PC...
Ok, everything is working now. ADB wasn't working because of a conflict with EasyTether on my Mac. Thanks everyone for the suggestions but I've decided to just stick with what I have now (power strip) and not deal with it.

May I recommend you return the Best Buy cable and go to monoprice.com?
I bought five cables from them that are 6 foot long. They work terrific and are higher quality looking than what you get from Best Buy.
Been playing with the watch for about an hour.
First boot:
Needs Android Wear and Moto Connect apps.
Downloads an update.
Needs to be around 80% before it can be used because it needs that battery to install the update.
Android Wear is Android Wear so all the swipes needed to get to things are here.
Size : Not bad at all. I thought it would be bigger but its a nice size. It depends on wrist size of course.
Band : Didn't seem like it is easily replaced. But I don't know a ton about watches. It seems to connect into the watch somewhere, that might be something standard though. Didn't look in the manual to see if there were instructions. (Edit : Included manual doesn't say anything. Site - www.motorola.com/mymoto360 - doesn't seem to be up where there is supposed to be a full user manual)
Battery : Way too early to tell, some drain right up front but there is a lot going on with syncing and all. Need to look at some Android Wear info to see how to get notifications beyond email and Google Now.
Charger : Comes with cable connected to the adapter. (Not a USB cable + Adapter). Screen dims while on charger. Button brightens the screen. Would be nice to see notifications on the charge screen.

Can you flash a picture up of the charger and associated cable please. When looking at the image below it looks like a SB cable plugging into the charging cradle... if so then its a possible way to get fastboot connectivity, if not then I'm back to the drawing board (not that I can do much until late October anyways).

The connection on the base is MicroUSB. So a USB can connect to it. But the charger that comes with the Phone is all one piece (not a seperate AC Adapter and USB cable). It is outputting 5V at 550ma.

Gotcha, cheers. So looks like PC connectivity would go through the charging cradle. Curious to know if the inductive charging standard they adhere to allows data transfer as well... Motorola must have had some way to debug it when creating firmware etc.

That would mean it would transfer data via bluetooth from the PC. I'm not seeing it connect like that. There would have to be another method.

I believe Qi does have data. But it is limited to 2kbps and is used for basic communication.

It seems like you would pop the back off somehow.
Actually seeing how the strap connects to the watch, and seeing exactly what the deal is with the metal straps, is like trying to solve a National mystery. I swear, the Illuminati are laughing at me, wringing their hands, and saying to themselves, "...And you will never know, DUSTY.".

There was a picture of the metal band and it looked like the connecter was non-standard. Like the end was a bit longer. Seems like they could have put some kind of door so you could switch out the bands easier. There has to be a way if they are going to have both leather and metal band versions. And in the Verge interview it seemed like they were planning on having options.
So far my only complaint is just with Android Wear. Like swiping away a gmail from the clock but then wanting to bring it up later. Seems like once it is swiped, that card is gone.

Dead Pixel
Drove all over North Atlanta and got the VERY LAST ONE with the Grey strap...everything seemed cool except for a DEAD PIXEL but I have my receipt and am hoping for an exchange whenever restock hits the stores.
One more thing to note...the device had like 35% charge which allowed me to pair to my Nexus 5 but then started displaying a charge battery notice.
I like the Motorola app that gives me a quick update on the current charge levels...connected to my Energizer QI pad so I think that I will just ditch the cradle charger that it came with unless I travel.

They all do that if not fully charged before turning on. You should be GTG now.

Sorry man and not to turn this into any tech support forum but just want to confirm that even if the battery got charged to like 65% there was no way to get past the "Charge your battery" screen unless it is either fully charged or charged to a certain capacity?
I did a factory reset and was able to get to the part where it downloaded an update again, rebooted and then immediately came up to that screen which can't be dismissed. The unit is pretty warm so I have placed it on the dock and will check every hour to see how if fairs...just frustrating that it couldn't even start. I am contemplating getting a refund and seeing how others react to everyday usage. I say this based on the fact that you go to the Moto 360 support site and it doesnt have anything under Help Topics...even after you login with a G+ acct or a Motorola acct.
I understand that statistically 1 out of every 100,000 may be the defect and if that is the case then it is what it is...was really hoping to test out a physical watch finally for an app instead of an emulator.

And BTW thank you very much for your help! Patience will be a virtue in this case.
My USB charging port is acting up recently. It's very finicky.
Just last few days, I cannot get "Fast Charging". It just shows regular cable charging.
I've tried:
(1) Firmware Factory Reset
(2) Tried different USB cable aside from the OEM
(3) Tried different wall adapter aside from the OEM
(4) Making sure USB cable is pushed all the way in.
(5) Tried using different wall outlets
I have had this phone for a little over a month.
Anyone else having this charging issue, and found a resolution?
Is your device stock still? If so, you may want to send it back to the OEM now so you don't have the same problem later when out of warranty.

Just for kicks though, have you tried turning the phone off to charge it, letting it fully charge and then let it run all the way down? Is the prong inside your phone still in good condition? I've noticed that the micro USB port on this thing is a bit harder to plug in than the one on my Note 4. Seems more susceptible to getting damaged than the older ones for some reason.
You may also want to see if it has these problems while using a wireless charger. That will help you diagnose the port.

Thank you. I called T-Mobile, and requested a warranty exchange after conveying to them my predicament.
I will get a replacement overnighted.
it's really odd how the Quick Charge/Fast Charging stopped working. I hope it's not a widespread issue.
On a side note, wireless charging works as normal.

It's not your charge port , I had the same issue...try another cable and it will work. It's something with the oem cable, try using the "malfunctioning" cable and plug it in really fast and use pressure, that's how I get mine to work, basically line it up in the hole but don't plug in and then go really fast and plug it in hard.
I explored that avenue. I used various cables aside from the OEM to no avail.
I even tried different Quick Charge 2.0 wall adapters as well to no avail.

Samsung needs to have more quality control on it's charging port.
First month, I had the phone, the charging port malfunctioned. I was able to ask T-Mobile for a warranty exchange, and got a replacement.
My replacement recently is also sporadically experiencing the same malfunction. Errrrrr.
Happens with mine when I use the original supplied charger. I have other quick chargers and they always work. So far, my issue is just with samsung charger.
Sent from my SM-G928T using Tapatalk
I have had this problem as well. It seems to me that the supplied cable gets worn out. I have used what I consider to be higher quality ones from other HTC phones and have had no issues.
It's a wide spread issue especially with the s6 edge plus. Mine has been doing it too. Nothing worst than plugging it in and seeing "cable charging" with a ridiculous about of time estimated until full. It's the cable!!! I bought some heavy duty cables a while back... Use it with the supplied charger from my s6 edge + and the note 4 and it's been working every time. That oem cable is a piece of garbage. When you trouble shooted with another cable.... It probably wasn't one capable of carrying the 9v for fast charging. Rarely is it the charger.... It's always the current running through the cable.
I have the exact same problem
We all know the 10 sadly uses Qualcomm quick charge. Would a USB c complaint 10ft cable bother the phone as long as it's the stock charger? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B016ZYUEVE/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Whenever its charging the charging block whines like bloody murder sometimes. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't damaging the charger or the phone.
Edit: buzzes with stock cable too, just not as loud.
I don't see why that cable wouldn't work it's got the resistor so it can't pull way too much from the charging end.

Yeah it was on the list, that's why i got it. Should I be worried the charger buzzes like that? Because it does it with the stock cable too, just takes a few mins. If everyone else's charger buzzes like that too, then fine, but otherwise...

Doesn't buzz with mine. I have tons of chargers but none of them buzzed on me. I recommend you get that exchanged.
I have some F-Color cables 2m/6' that I use with the Quickcharger... haven't had an issue. Apparently Amazon will only sell cable that stringently meet the USB Type C standard, so buy from them if you're not sure.

We all know the 10 sadly uses Qualcomm quick charge. Would a USB c complaint 10ft cable bother the phone as long as it's the stock charger? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B016ZYUEVE/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Whenever its charging the charging block whines like bloody murder sometimes. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't damaging the charger or the phone.

Would this cable be sufficient? I need a second cable to carry around with me and I really don't want to pay HTC $20 for another one. I just want to make sure I don't damage anything before I buy it.
Hi, I brought a Nokia 6, for my 11 year old son about a month ago.
It was fine until about 4 days ago, when fast charging stopped working, and it only charges very slowly. If the phone is switched off, then it charges at a rate of about 4% per hour, so an overnight charge will charge the battery from empty to about 35%. If the phone is booted but otherwise idle, then the charger will just about keep up with power consumption and the battery percentage does not increase or decrease.
I have tried multiple chargers, cables and power banks. It makes no difference. The fact that I get slow charging when the phone is off suggests that the culprit is unlikely to be a battery draining app.
There is a suspicion of hardware damage, as my son may have pulled the charging cable out, or pushed it in too hard, bent it sideways or the like, though the set of symptoms is odd for a hardware issue, and feels more like software, and in any case the USB type C connector is normally very robust.
The phone is running the latest stock firmware from Nokia. It is not rooted unlocked or the like.
Has anyone seen anything similar? Can you suggest what I can do to investigate the problem further?
Did any of those support Qualcomm quick charge 3 or 4? Try installing Ampere on his phone and check the current from a fast charger with a good USB C cable. If it shows something in the neighborhood of 1500mA to 2300mA this is a software problem. Otherwise this is a hardware problem from somewhere along the circuit. At best all cables you tested are bad. At worst your phone needs a repair.

Thanks.
I don't think any of the charges I used support Qualcomm quick charge, is it worth buying one on amazon prime to check?
I will install Ampere and report back.

If you are the type to charge your phone overnight I don't think you need it unless you forgot. Running with a 50-70
Battery is better than having a dead battery, so it is worth it for the safety of mind.
My Nokia charger seems to support it out of the box. It has [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] Depending on where you got it yours could very well be similar to mine.

I installed Ampere, and it is reporting charge rates of 150 to 450 mA using a generic charger and cable, that works fine with my OnePlus phone. I will have to find the original Nokia charger to be sure, but it does look like some sort of hardware issue.
Thanks.

Yeah I noticed the phone is picky about what charges it and what doesn't, probably the phone playing it safe with keeping the lithium in good condition.

Interesting. I have charged my TA-1068 on all types of chargers. All have worked within an average amount of time. I wonder if different models are more or less picky. To me, it sounds as if the charging port might be damaged. Kids tend to be tough on equipment.

True, the phone itself might be one or two steps from being a brick with a decent smartphone inside but ports are not always invincible.
Quick update: I took the phone back to the store, and the store decided that it was probably a defect in the phone (not user damage) so they have sent it to Nokia for warranty work. With luck I should get it back repaired in a week or so.
I will post again to report the outcome.
I too noticed this traveling

If i use the OE charger its fine but once i tired to use the USB port on my car stereo or cig lighter USB adapter it actually drained the battery and it wouldnt prompt a USB charging curtain notification but it would show the lighting bolt/battery icon. Or the notification curtain would display the last thing i used USB for like moving pictures instead of every other phone ive ever owned which would default to USB charging
