Charger defective? Overheats & intermittent non charges - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've notice since day one that the charger gets excessively hot. So much so you can't hold it longer than a few seconds before you have to let go. Is that normal? Lastly, I noticed it would charger much slower, at times. If I let it cool off. Reboot and start the charge again, it goes back to charging normally.

Maybe I have a serious Battery Problem (?)

Hi guys,
I was playin Temple Run and the battery was about 5% or however close to be fully discharged. Suddenly the display was flickering, or like something this. The phone suddenly powered off.
I tried to charge the phone with the charger in the plug, but after some seconds the animation disappears, then reappears in few seconds and disappears (about when the charger animation goes to the top for the second time).
The GN is connected to the PC, and does not power off: but the charger indication is stuck at 0%
What's happened? I doesn't made something wrong!! I used to discharge my battery often!
I also wiped Battery Stats in recovery, it does not helps.
The ROM and the Kernel are inte signature. I never made overclocks or something like this. Please help me
When I detach the USB cable from GNexus it power off (like when it's normally discharged)
EDIT: Suddenly the % went to 2%.
With lithium-ion batteries like the one in the Gnexus 'like' being charged. They do not have a memory like ni-cad batteries. Severely discharging or overcharging our batteries can physically damage them. If you store the battery for extended times, leave it at 30% charge.
As to why you experienced the freaking out from your phone, when batteries get low on charge, the voltage and amperage output drops. When your phone has a low draw, you won't notice this. Under high draw like gaming, it may not be enough to power your phone. Turn it off and plug it into the factory AC charger. Let sit for at least 30 min or so. Then try to power up.

Yeah. In 30minutes of game the battery went down of about 10%. Web browsing in 3G is less battery expensive
Your battery might be damaged if its acting up when it gets low. Try not to run down to zero.
zippity doo da.
Whenever you get a chance, plug that phone in.
In the car on the way home? Plug it in.
Sitting in the office? Bring your charger and plug it in.
If its under 70% that is. A small charge will always be healthier than 0-100.

i just experience the same thing i thought i burned out the phone home recharging it will help its look like it stuck on 0%
EDIT : its start recharge also
the way the screen flicker and the sound its made was just the scary

Is my replacement battery defective?

I got a second battery off ebay for emergency situations. It's advertised as OEM. While the phone is plugged in it charges up to 88% then starts bleeding charge. Unplug and replug makes it charge again. Bad battery right?

I got a new battery from eBay just the other day too, and the first time I used it, it didn't seem to charge properly at all. I left it in the phone and drained it down to 1%, then charged it again. This charge seemed to take forever, but after it was at 100%, all seemed fine. Now it charges at normal speed again, and doesn't seem to drain any faster than my stock battery. Hopefully this works for you too

Xperia S Charging issue.

Hey, i've recently started to have issues with my S.
It sometimes de charges at quite a fast rate while on charge (this is while the screen is off also).
It doesn't show the red light while on and charging (when it does charge) and sometimes doesn't turn on while on charge while off for at least an hour.
It appears to happen when the battery is already fairly low, between 1-10% charge, the battery life is as decent as it gets with an S.
I have a feeling this probably might be the charger at fault, i've not tried any other chargers with it and i am using the charger and cable that
came with the phone.
This is not an issue of it not charging due to the cable, it charges no matter what placement.
Edit: It's now showing the red light while charging like it normally would and has fully charged again, i am going to fully charge and wipe battery stats and see what happens, i have a feeling it's because i've let the phone run down to low.

Phone sometimes does not charge when plugged in, battery temp at 50C

Sometimes when plugging my phone into a charger it will not charge at all despite the charging symbol appear. This is usually solved just by unplugging and plugging the phone back in.
However, just now I had it plugged in while watching YouTube videos when it become hot to the touch. So I unplugged it and continued watching videos. After 10 minutes it was still hot, so I downloaded a battery temperature app that said it was at 49C. Figured I would just turn off my phone and since it's cooled off.
Should I contact HTC about this? Was it just heavy processor load that could have caused it?

Question Heat whilst charging Pixel Watch

I'd just like to find out if anyone else has found that whilst charging that the watch can become a little hot?
Yes, it gets hot when charging, it's fine after a few minutes tho.
Should be fine
For me the issue was that it got hot and stopped charging. Some other people commented that it depend on power source, if charging of pixel power adaptor or charging from laptop. I didn't test with laptop yet, just limit to short charging so it doesn't get hot, because it will battery if it gets hot too often.
gets nice and warm for me, totally normal for wireless chargers, especially in devices this size. Never got so hot as to be uncomfortable to wear right after charging.
Yeah, charging with for example Samsung 25w charger, watch gets hot after 40% of charging and stopped at 90%, charged with laptop, no issues, not so hot. So it depends on charger.
