My Galaxy w doesn't charge the right way any more. As you can see from the pic... After a night plugged to a standard charger it has only 75% battery left, and it seems to be disconnecting itself from time to time. Moreover it doesn't charge when I plug it into my car's USB, that works with many other phones! Any way to fix it?

How about a new battery? Have you tried connecting it to your computer if the connection gets interrupted?
The battery is quite new actually... Same problem with the computer: after a while it stops charging and starts back after minutes
But data connection keeps working while phone stops charging?

I don't think so... But I don't really know, I'll try to check that. Thanks for your help btw I really appreciate it

I've tried and installed a few ROM's from this website and since today I can't seem to charge my HTC when the battery is running low.
Whenever i put it on Charge on the cable it won't show the charging icon on my phone and it doens't gain any energy.
This is what happens:
When i plug my phone to adapter the "ring" on the HTC touch diamond glows 3(!) times which means it charges it for aslong the ring glows (3 times). But after 3 glows it doens't glow anymore and which means it stops charging.
Also when the device is OFF and it stops charging after 3 times the ring glows (about 10 secs?) i can press the ON button and it charges it again for 10 seconds. The funny thing is that it also re-starts itself automatically every like .. 1-2 minutes and shuts off again.
Does anyone know why this happens? Please help
Thanks
have you tried replacing the cable, cradle or even the adapter? Check their contacts or pins carefully! Maybe you got dust particles in there.
Oh, does it get charged upon connection to your computer? Are you using the same cable?

No it doensn't get charged when i connect it to the computer. And yes i tried several other cables and connected them to computer and adapter but still not charging.
I really don't know what to do

When the phone is turned off put it in charge then turn on your phone,go to backlight options and there should be "When device is turned on,do not charge the battery when connected to the PC" untick this then re try

Yep i done that, but my phone can't get charge from anywhere. Not from USB to PC and nor from just putting it in the adapter.
I'll tell what happens:
When i plug my phone to adapter the "ring" on the HTC touch diamond glows 3(!) times which means it charges it for aslong the ring glows (3 times). But after 3 glows it doens't glow anymore and which means it stops charging.
Also when the device is OFF and it stops charging after 3 times the ring glows (about 10 secs?) i can press the ON button and it charges it again for 10 seconds. The funny thing is that it also re-starts itself automatically every like .. 1-2 minutes and shuts off again.
It's a weird problem and I'm really stuck with this and don't know what to do. I'd prefer not paying 30$ to buy another battery if that's the problem. If anyone else has advice then PLEASE give them.

I've used short, long, medium cables, and I've also used different sort of adapters but nothing seems to work.
The only thing that COULD be it is either something wrong in the ROM or the battery.
First time i heard of this.
1) It wont charge from the adapter or the pc via usb
2) The charging led shows action for a short time then stops
When the phone is OFF it should charge regardless of what modifications have been done to the operating system since the OS is not active.
Have the phone inspected especially the mini usb port, i think its not just the battery.
It could be either the mini usb port or the battery or the charging circuit in the phone needs a part to be changed.
It looks like a hardware problem.
On the flipside, wherever you get the phone inspected bring the battery with you and see if it will charge on their universal chargers.
Most cellphone techinicians have a universal charger which will charge any battery even without the cellphone it was designed for.
See if it will fully charge and then insert it into the phone.
Now if the battery did charge fully and the phone doesnt have a hardware problem, then you can conclude that its the rom.
Go back to standard official rom from HTC and observe if its behaving normally.
But im betting there is a hardware problem.
Me either...
Sometimes i get the same problem, but i keep on trying to charge, acn then it do!!! you have to be persistent.... leave the phone pluged int AC over the night... try to remove the battery while charging... one time, it will start charging... THAT IS what happens to me... (after upgrading rom and spl)
Same Problem With my Orbit 2
I am having the same problem. Now my battery can be charged just with the universal portable charger. I take out my battery from Handset and plug it into Universal Charger. Actually my problem started after the uninstalling the Android Nand.
After that I tried different roms but problem is still there.

But you get the Popup on connection, and the Charging Notification on the Status bar as well?
EDIT: Try this, Turn off your phone, Remove the battery, SIM, SDCard (ie: everything), Place for 10-15 minutes, then reassemble your phone and try again

It decreased again? Or stayed static? Remember - Charging (even 1%) takes time.
It seems something is broken. :/

Got another MicroUSB Cable? Try with that. If it still doesn't work, I would assume it to be a hardware issue.

I (probably) have the same problem.
Got an HTC Wildfire a few days ago. Didn't come with the original charger & cable.
The charger I got is 500mA. Problem is, it's barely charging and sometimes even discharging (while it's plugged in)
I've installed a couple of widgets to look into it (Battery Mix & CurrentWidget)
Battery Mix clearly shows the phone discharging while plugged in (as a graph), CurrentWidget says it's getting under 50mA (ranging from 15-45)
Right now it's off & charging. The battery was around 13% when I switched it off. Waited about 30 min, then turned it back on, it was at 42%.
I'm trying to exhaust all other options before I go out and get new hardware.
I'm wondering why the charger is only giving it <50mA and wondering if the problem lies with it, the battery, the cable or the phone itself.
Hey,
I installed MIUI again after using Virtuous Unity for a while. And i used this kernel lordmodUEv6.6-CFS
THe problem i have now is that my battery won't charge
When i put the charger in the phone tells me its charging but the % is still dropping. I have no clue what it could be and i hope u guys can help me
I tried wiping the batt stats but that didn't help.
#######################EDIT##############
All is fixed now!

Does the phone charge up when switched off - does the light go green after a few hours??
Have you tried a different charger or charging via USB just in case your charger is faulty?
I removed the battery and let it out for a while. All seems to be fine now.
I can recharge via the charger when its on and off.
But i can't charge when connected to the pc
Good news that it is charging now!
What happens when you connect your phone to the PC?
It asks if i want to connect the usb storage device to my pc, Or if i want to on;y charge.
I can pick both of them and both show me my battery is charging... The funny thing is it isn't really charging
So the charging animation is there, But the battery just runs down instead of being recharged
For better understanding of your problem, please install current widget, simulate the pc charge and attach the log file in here. In my opinion, try to install clean rom with default kernel.

Try a different USB cable.
Yes, I would also suggest to try another charger/usb-cable because they differ a lot depending if it's original or not.
Well I had the same problem, but not sure if u have the same one as mine. My problem was that my usb cable was ripped in the inside. the led light would light up but doesn't charge(the battery icon would animate,but doesn't charge). So I got two new brand new HTC cables, and now it charges perfectly normal. Try uzing a new cable.

It was indeed the Cable i changed it and now its charging perfectly again.
Thank u guys so much for the help <3
So I'm currently using the Suarom ROM, and for the most part it's been working fine. Suddenly I have a problem. Last night I plug my phone in to charge and suddenly it won't charge. I tried with two separate chargers.
It's still a new phone, so I can bring it in for warranty work. I just want to make sure I take all the steps necessary to "un void" the warranty. I'm a Rogers customer. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
Theres a thread in the DEV section that provides instructions of how to completely un-root and restore your device to factory before you turn it in for services.
The only problem is, my battery is at ten percent with no way to charge. The strange thing is that when I plug the phone in, the charging symbol appears. Just doesn't charge. Any idea why that would be ?

Tried different chargers? maybe plug it up to your PC see if you can get some juice that way? i can see the cable/charger going bad before the usb port on the phone ( but **** happens ) 10 percent should be good enough to get your phone back to stock though, i did it at 7 percent not to long ago, you just cant play around you have to click and run and get it done so it does not die. then if it dies after at least you are stock and can just turn it back in. but to be honest for a charger problem i VERY SERIOUSLY doubt they will be looking at Software and roms. thast a defect, and i think they will just do a clean swap----JUST LET IT DIE so they can not turn it back on in the store..lol
Ya could have a derpy battery and the phones fine.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Yeah, I have tried three chargers with no luck. Haven't tried a PC yet but will after work.
So if I'm getting the lightning bolt charging symbol, odds are it'llbe the battery rather than the port?
take it to best buy or an at&t store....and just say, hey i think i may have a bad battery do you have one i can use to see if my phone will power on and recognize the charger after it is plugged in. then you will know, unless you have an extra battery just laying around.
I had a similar problem like this before. Try charging with the phone off.
OR
If you want to troubleshoot and isolate the problem, try getting an external battery charger and a spare battery.
If you charge your stock battery and it charges with the external charger, your phone may be the problem. If not, then it's the stock battery.
And with the spare battery, try charging it via phone charger.
These are the possible ways I can think of at the moment. Hope this helps!
Since a few weeks, my phone takes a very long time to charge (like +10% every hour), when I watch tv or a movie on it while it's plugged in it even tells me that the phone is using more battery than it can charge (sorry for the french-> english).
Every morning I find it turned off, I plug it no led lites, after a while the led starts blinking and after 30minutes approximately it finally turns red and I can turn it on.
I'm using Revolution HD rom, but I assume it might be a hardware issue rather than software.
Does anyone ever encountered this issue ?
Do you use usb charging from pc? Disable any data connection,gps and close some apps. That should work!

Today I used usb charging inded (but usually I use regular charger), I disabled everything I could, plug it at 9am, it's now 5pm and it's finally 100%
The good thing is that it seems to normally drains battery.
I just used battery callibrator, I'll let it empty and then charge it anew to see if there is any change.
