Hi Goodtilltomorrow,
Would like to help, but what is the question?
If you are charging via the USB connection then it will ask you what type of connection you want (whilst also charging).
My solution for charging only, is to select Disk Drive and then to 'safely remove device' using the icon in the system tray.
That way the device is not using any additional power (above normal standby) but is charging from the USB port.
If it's asking about activesync or Disk Drive via a mains power source then I am as confused as you.
Hope this helps.

oh sorry.
i meant to ask, why is it asking where im charging from everytime i connect it to charge from the wall?
im using the stock charger and it never use to ask me where i wanted to use (Activesync or Disk Drive) when i just charged my phone from the wall.
how can i get rid of it doing that?

Does it charge at all? Mine does the same, but doesn't charge at all when the phone is on.
I can only charge it with the ac charger when it is turned of, or turned on using the usb on my laptop...

yeah my charges. its charges even with the phone on.
i wonder why it does that!

every so often my charger does the same.. some pins must be pressed somewhere in the usb input. I haven't seen it negatively effect the phone in any way though.

Your phone is usy doing something, there is some rogue app you need to kill.
Restart should work.

What kernel and Rom u using??
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

sounds like your phone thinks its charging from a usb and not ac when its charging from the mains open settings > power
under battery status it will say either not charging, charging (usb) or charging (AC).
if its saying usb then there is something wrong with the cable thats stopping it from showing s an AC adapter.

Have you tried a different adapter?
The cables could be fine, but your adapter/plug is defected.
Also, do as treebill said. Try checking in which mode (USB/AC/Not charging) your phone is recognizing as being charged.

I have exactly the same problem, I'm using official usb cable and adapter. I had tried other cables and adapters but same thing. My One X is not unlocked or rooted, and I'm with the last official rom 2.17.401.2 but it was happened and with previous rom 1.27.401.11. Even with switch off phone charging is very slow I try to restore my phone but nothing at all. Sometimes it's charge like it should but most of the time it's slow. Any suggestions or I have to go straight to repair center?

Ok.
Li ion batteries take 3-4 hours to charge. If its taking longer, there is huge current draw from the phone. Or, as you say, "no".

help me...

Are you REALLY sure your chargers aren't messed up?
I f**ed up the charger given with my One X(details below) and after that, my charger would only give me usb power instead of ac. I've been using this charger bundled with my Samsung P2 mp3 player that I got 4 years back.
We had gone on a trip where the room's fan rotation knob was missing, so the only thing I saw fit to change fan speed was fitting that tiny pin from the fan regulator in my AC Adapters usb port, which messed it up. Retarded I know, story of my life... -_-

Hey there, I faced the same problem. Having a blackberry Bold3, I tried recharging my OneX with the charger that came with it. BB charger charges my OneX WAY FASTER than the HTC charger that came with the phone. (1hour max for full charge) And battery holds an entire day too.

no one??

If you haven't rooted nor unlocked, and your phone was charging perfectly before, then I don't think it's a software issue.
It's either your charger or cable. If you have tried a different charger/cable that works well with other phones, then I guess you need to have your phone looked at.
Good luck

This is a relief. Mine took 3 hours to charge from 0 to 100 , I thought that there's something with it.

Does it show Charging (AC) or Charging (USB) under settings > Battery ?

Use the original charger and cable all others are slower

[Q] Charging as USB even though I'm using the wall original wall charger

Hi!
I bought my GNII a week ago and phone is awesome!
The only problem is it takes soooooooooo long to charge. I didn't assume that something was wrong yet since it is new. After charging for the third time and it's still slow, I searched for answers but came back empty. So I'm here hoping somebody could help at least so that I could do everything on my end before contacting my provider.
Here are some information:
1. Charger that I am using is the stock charger that came along with the phone. USB cable and Original Charger.
2. Phone is not rooted.
3. When I plug it using the wall charger (USB cable + Original Charger) it is being detected as USB instead of AC.
Hope somebody could help.
Thanks!

No there aren't , the problem is with the defective 4 pin usb cable bundeld with few of our sets actually we need to have 5 pin cables for proper charging , had exactly the same problem with my s3 puechased a HTC usb cable after that my problem was gone for good.

Yep the one packed with it is usb3 which is a bit faster. The other one is usb2 which is a bit slower.

Hi! Some breakthrough. I charged my phone at the office using the wall charger and plugging it to a UPS and VIOLA!! It charged as AC!! Could you (or anybody) know why?

Root, flash a custom kernel which supports fast usb charging

will it charge like AC after flashing? Rooting it would be my last option since I just discovered it could charge as AC without rooting. The only problem is why it charges as USB on wall charger but AC on a UPS.

That kernel will charge at 900mA by default over a normal usb connection.
I flashed it rather that the sock kernel just for that reason, plus for me it gives improved battery life etc over the stock kernel. You can overclock also but I have no desire to do that with the Note 2 as its pleanty fast enough already.

Does anyone know off a kernel that actually has usb fast charging enabled in it ?

[Q] [HELP] Won't charge?

Hello all,
My R800i won't charge anymore, doesn't matter how long it has been charging, the battery seems to not charge anything up. This all happened when I was sleeping and woke up. I noticed that the alarm of my R800i didn't go off so I wondered what it could be. To my surprise I saw that the battery was empty to 0%.
But when I plug it into my laptop there comes a notification in the trend that something connected via the USB requires a higher voltage outlet than the USB port can give. That means it does detect the R800i, but that I need a charger with a higher voltage? That wouldn't make any sense because prior to this problem charging with my laptop was just fine.
Please I need help and fast!

My guess you need new charger. Try on some other charger first. Problem with laptop is that it's usb ports can give only 500mA, and since your battery is empty, you need more.
Also, try another usb cable.
In worst case, it's battery's fault.

Bump for pl0xness.

Get a useless micro USB cable and cut the micro port off and strip the wires then attach the red wire to the (+) terminal on the battery and black to (-) then let it charge for a small amount of time

thanks for this useful post! i thought there has to be a converter or resistors between battery and usb. didn't ever thought of directly powering the battery from usb :good:

I'll have a look.

This is actually insane enough that it might work....

It's not insane, but be carefull. Battery can be charged that way, but it also can be overcharged (when battery voltage get over 4.2V)
So don't charge ut that way too long. Few minutes, and put it back in phone to be properly charged (phone will charge it normally if battery is not dead and above 3.2V)
If you have voltmeter, even better
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

The problem now is, when I plug the phone in even without battery, my laptop says that the maximum voltage is reached and that it has to shutdown the USB port. There is definitely something wrong with the phone but I can't figure out what.

And when you charge it with charger? Does it charging or discharging battery?
Is battery or any part if phone getting hot when not charging? When not charging does it discharge fast or normaly?
Can you charge when phone is off?

1. Almost all the time
2. The charger doesn't charge at all, not even the orange light is shown at the on/off button
3. No, only the cable/charger
4. It goes faster now but I think thats because of charging the phone with a cut-off micro USB cable directly on the battery
5. No

It's maybe damaged usb port, damaged usb cable or faulty battery...
Maybe you should take it to repair service. Untill then, you can charge your battery dirrectly...

[Q] Charging problem

The phone was working perfectly until last few days. When connected to the socket via the charger, it shows that the phone is charging but it isn't(the battery instead keeps on decreasing while on charge) sometimes charging begins but really slowly.
However when connected with the computer through the usb, its charging ok.
Tried with an other samsung charger too, same problem.

Have you tried an iPhone (or generic USB) charger with the known working data cable?
Charger or USB power status is determined by the data lines instead of the accessory ID wire so you should get high speed charging with... well, mostly every charger.

Have you changed settings in "Galaxy Ace 2" app? there is setup for wall socket current in "USB" sub menu - maybe you tweaked something there.
If you have any other charger with micro-usb try it (it should be fine with all chargers with amper range around 1A).

Tried with a sony charger but charges really slowly.

oh, one more thing, have you cleaned teh usb port in your phone?
If not, switch the phone off, remove baterry (it's for removing any current from the cirquits) and with fine wooden toothpick or something similar, try to go around inside of a usb port of the phone - I was really supprised how much fabric can be pilled up there
