Hey
Whenever ive had a phone with a usb port in the past ive usually charged it via USB connected to my PC. However, with the desire it takes about 45 mins to improve battery by 1% when connected to pc, whereas is takes about 1 min to do this when connected to AC. Ive never had this with any other phone which is why im wondering whether theres something wrong there
anyone else have this issue?
I'm pretty sure most devices do this.. any I've toyed with have..
it might be slower, but its never been this much slower. In fact, ive just had it plugged into usb for the last hour and the battery has gone DOWN 3%!!!!!
The current that you can draw through a USB port probably isn't as much! can't remember what the USB standard is but it's more that likely a lot lower than the AC charger
Yes, I am experiencing the same thing. On USB 1% every half an hour, on AC like 1% per minute. Still, I don't know what is causing this. The output power of AC and USB are different, but they shouldn't be this much.
is your laptop running on the mains or battery?
is your charging cable original (htc desire) ?
my laptop is running on the mains/AC but i am not using the cable that was originally bundled with the desire....should that make a difference though? Surely a USB cable is a USB cable?
Same here. Very slow on USB.
Wiki says this:
However, many devices require more power than this method can provide, and will not work in this type of hub.
USB current (related to power) is allocated in units of 100 mA up to a maximum total of 500 mA per port.

ive generally always charged my phone via USB and never had this problem with any phone. the desire must be sooo power hungry. Im actually at a stage now where even if i plug it into the USB port, it still loses charge
One usb hub can provide up to 500 miliamps of current, one port just 256. The ac adapter can give you 1000 ma. So do the calculations yourself

Since I have had my desire I have never charged it via the charger my pc charges it even when its turned off and I've never had any problems with charge speed.

i found the htc cable to be more effective than a micro usb one from samsung.
I've charged my phone from my PC loads of times. Takes about twice as long (roughly, I've never actually timed it).
Definitely not 1% per half hour though!
What is your setup and are you doing with the phone whilst it's connected?
With WiFi and 3G and the screen left on, I get +1% every 3.6mins using the PC USB.

no, i definately dont get it charge that quick. Also, for the record, when using gps connected to a car charger, it doesnt ever charge, it only loses charge at a much slower rate (not good for long journeys!) unless i switch the screen off
When its connected to the pc im usually not doing anything with it. If even tried it with the phone switched off before, charged it like this for an hour and then when i turned it back on it had only charged by 2%
what do you want to know about the setup? Could it actually have something to do with the fact im not using the original bundled USB cable? I just cant see that being a factor
something is definitly wrong with either your cable your phone.
Let's try to cancel out one of those factors:
-have you tried using a different able?
I have NEVER used the AC charger, i've always used the usb charging method, and it takes about 2 hours for a half charge.
ill try using a different cable and see what happens. could the fact im charging it off a netbook be a problem? i wouldnt have thought so as i always charged my last phone (touch diamond) off this netbook too
ok, so it seems the USB cable used DOES matter. When using the original one it charges a lot quicker via USB ... AND AC
i didnt realise different usb cables have different power transfer rates....i guess now i do
Do this test.
Try to charge the phone while it's off.
The power controller of the phone needs to split the power between the phone requirements and the charging of the battery.
I think that your phone is drawing to much power so there is very little left for the battery charge.
So 1. test the usb cable 2. test the power consumption of your phone.
I have no problems charging my phone, when it's connected to my desktop.
Use it all the time at work.
hello.
i have arhd 3.3, 12.41 radio.
i put my phone into wall socket last night at 23 30 and this morning at 5:30 phone was still charging at 73%. at 6 30 it was at 83%. then i switched it off and back on, pluged the charger in, and the led went green in like 2 minutes.
what's this? i have the phone for 3 days now. does it take that long to charge or is it a rom problem? i am using the original charger.
looks like a rom problem. Best way to know will be trying different roms.
dont know if it is a rom problem. i think is a radio problem.
install current widget and see what the input milli ampage is. This should give you an idea of if your having a charging issue. Also when you have charged to true 100% (Not when the LED goes green but when current widget says you are no longer receiving a current (0 Mah)) then reboot to recovery and wipe the battery statistics.
I can't see the radio giving you an issue on charging, unless it was using almost more juice than you are putting in. The only time I have ever seen that behaviour is when using a USB charging cable and navigation at the same time.
Hope this helps.
i am using the charger that came with the device that uses indeed an usb cable connected to it.

I meant a USB only (not original) charger. As the charger supplied is actually a wall charger and is rated to supply the device with more "juice" than a standard USB socket (i think are rated for 1mah charging??)
The scenario I am using is when you use a phone for navigating and have it plugged into a 12v socket in a car using a USB adapter which will only give the lowest permitted power rating.
so......i think i have a problem.
when i plug the phone into the wall socket it says charging(usb)
when i plug it in laptop usb using the cable the same charging(usb).
wasn't it supposed to say charging(ac)?

Not sure about that, but even so my DHD will charge from flat in less time than yours was plugged in, how warm / cold was the room you had the phone charging in? Possibly it's getting too hot whilst charging which would lead to the phone reducing the charge rate?
now it;s on charge from about 30 min. it's not even warm. the battery is reported to have 27*
You might be having a damaged battery try replacing it with a new one.
the phone is new.
could it be because of setcpu 230-1228?

Yes I think it's supposed to say charging AC. Try cleaning the usb connectors thoroughly.
Yeh being informed that it is chargng over USB when in the well is definitely wrong. I suggest trying to get another cable or something like a newer style blackberry charger.

I was curious that my phone sometimes used more than 5-7 hours to make the battery fully charged. It occurs on both Adam and Perseus kernel, and on both pre-rooted and Wanam rom.
And of course, I charge my phone with the plug, not USB port.

I have the same issues once in a while. Try to download GCC (Galaxy Charging Current) from Play Store and check on your average current while charging. Then from there, you can see where the problem occur.
The charger input on the phone is the cause

I knew something was wrong when it took my phone 6 hours to charge from 22% to fully charged on the stock kernel, so I had my carrier swap my data cable. Swapping the data cable didn't fix the random slow charging issue. If you view the battery stats under settings, your phone will indicate what kind of source it's getting its charge from. I discovered sometimes when you plug your phone in via the stock travel AC adapter, your phone detects it as a USB port. It's not the charger that is the problem, but how Sammy designed the charger port or an error during the assembly process. I found a work around to avoid the phone thinking it's being plugged into a USB port. Once I initially lineup the data cable with the charger port, very very gently push down on the data cable as you fully insert it into the charger port. If you don't do so, it's usually a hit or miss when it comes down to what the phone will detect between AC and USB mode. This is the first phone that I own that seems to have this issue. Every since I've figured out what's been happening, I've been able without fail to avoid the slow charging issue.
Since discovering the quick fix to the slow charging with the Samsung data cable, I've discovered that my old HTC data cable works flawlessly without having to make any adjustments as I insert the cable into the charger port.
I tried using this app and it told me as the picture below.
What does it mean? Is it normal or abnormal?

What mode is your phone indicating that it's connected to. This can be viewed in the battery stats screen.

Guys, my one x just ran into a devastating issue, and by the looks of it, so did my £1500 pc rig. As I plugged my phone into its charger the computer shut off and the phone refused to charge. No sign at all. (just to be clear I did NOT plug it into the PC) The one x is on 4% battery and will probably cut off in 5 minutes. I need help urgently, (my pc needs a new PSU as well) I've tried plugging it into other chargers but that doesn't work. I used the main charger on other phones and they still charge fine.

a few questions did you try other chargers,have you rooted you phone and install a recovery and did your pc shutdown normally or did he just go black
Not trying to state the obvious but ... try another power outlet and another charger perhaps?
Maybe a voltage spike in your power line killed the charger for your phone and the PSU of your PC, or just tripped the CB of your extension cord?
Tried multiple chargers, cables, and outlets. Rooting the phone has nothing to do with the device issue. My computer has a surge protection motherboard (Gigabyte) which started working this morning, the phone could probably do the same thing later on, I'll try later
Hi everyone,
Two weeks ago I charged my nexus 5x in my car via an 12v car adapter, the cable was USB-A to USB C, after about 5 minutes my phone reboot automatically then stucked at "Google" logo and fail to boot into marshmellow animation. Then I tried rebooting by pressing down the power button for about 20 second, but nothing changed (Still stuck at google). Then I pressed power button and volumn key down to enter the bootload mode, and choose power off. After that I could not start my phone or get it charged (with the original cable and adapter). My phone is never unlocked or rooted.
I finally resolved the issue by opening the back cover and unplug the battery, After the battery was pluged in again it finally come back to live.
Everything works OK until recently I want to copy some videos from my PC to nexus 5x, but nothing happen when I connect the phone to my PC (It works before), I could tell the driver is correct and the USB port work well as my Nexus 7 could be recognized just like normal. the USB configuration is MTP in developer options, but there just nothing change in device manager when the nexus 5x is connected. I've tried different PCs and other cables, the situation is the same.
Now I am suspecting the type C port is no longer able to transfer data but charging. I am planing to visit the nearest apple store and try if the original type C cable could work (I don't have any other PCs with typec port available).
Will update....
You took your phone apart? Wtf. Pretty sure you voided your warranty with that..

Actually I did not expect any warranty as I am using the phone in China, but nexus is never officially sold here.
I had my 5x turn off on me in the middle of the night while charging and refuse to turn on the next morning.
I had it unlocked, rooted running pure nexus ROM and had the surround sound and EIS mod though.
I tried other cables that I knew worked in the past too.
Maybe I had the same problem?
The phone was completely "dead" there was no red led indicator when holding the power button.
But software could be an issue I guess. I was running all of those mods for about 2 weeks however. No major drops or water damage.

Sounds quite similar!
So how is your phone now? Are you able to connect to PC as MTP?
Maybe I should try a factory reset first? But if the reset does not solve the problem it will be painful to transfer the data back from PC.
OP, does the cable you were using in the car have the proper 56k resistor? It might have partially killed your charging port if it doesn't and there happened to be a current spike.

I never got the phone to work, I got Google to RMA the phone, just sent back the old one, I'm hoping they cover it under warranty. I was using the charger that came with the phone too.

I'm wondering if you meant 12 W, not Volt. Either way, I think I"m in the same boat. Been using an approved USBC-A cable with a 12w charger in the car, and now I've noticed that the USB debugging options will randomly show up in the notification shade when the phone is NOT plugged in. The only way to dismiss the notification is to plug the phone in. Additionally, the OEM charger no longer says "charging rapidly". I'm thinking the USB C port has taken a hit.
Any thoughts?
