A few days ago I purchased Galaxy S II official vehicle dock, so today I decided to give it a try. But to the problem I ran into, was that when I was using GPS (CoPilot) the phone shows that its charging, but it actually slowly discharges it. Well first I thought that, my car cigarette lighter plug didn't give it enough juice, but then I tried the same thing with the phone connected to regular power outlet using the original charger. The result was that the phone shows that its charging, but the percentage doesn't go up or down, it just idles at the percentage point, when i connected it to charger. I'm pretty sure it should charge the phone, even if I use GPS and the screen is switched on. My second thought was that the phone was overheating due to hot weather, but im not sure about this.
The only time I actually got the phone charging through the cigarette plug, was when the phone's screen was switched off.
So my question is what should I do? Is the dock connector damaged or something? should I consider changing it or is there some other problem? I have read all the topics about this issue and its seems, that there is no firm fix for this. Im really running out of ideas.
(The phone was charged to 80% when I encountered this problem.)

I have actually the same issue, I just presumed that the car charger doesn't produce enough charge to actually charge.

I can only give you 3 guesses:
1- Maybe it's some sort of weird software bug (maybe the ICS 4.0.4 + SiyahKernel combination or something);
2- It's simply the battery chip going crazy (whenever my battery indicator seems to go nuts I simply reset the fuel gauge with ExTweaks, you might wanna give it a try); and
3- A bad or damaged car-plug charger (since you have that problem when charging from the dock and directly from an original charger, I don't think it's a bad dock).
I'm saying that because I use the original car dock quite a lot - almost always for usage as a GPS Navigator (NDrive 11) with GPS, Data and WiFi Connection always on (too lazy to turn WiFi off while in the car) and usually with an increased brightness (around 50 - 70%) and even in those battery unfriendly conditions (GPS on and locked, WiFi and Data on, high brightness, etc, etc, etc) it still charges the battery. It takes a while to get a full charge, but it gets fully charged eventually. And I sometimes use the car-plug charger directly in the phone, when I'm not using my S2 as a GPS Navigator.
I would suggest you to try and use another ORIGINAL car-plug charger to check - or maybe go back to whoever sold you the dock and get it replaced or something...
Hope this helps. Best regards mate.

Thanks, I thought that this had something to to with some factory blunder, but if you're saying that it works for you, then I'll give it a try and see if I can figure out what the problem is.

You can buy it on eBay - there are a lot of UK stores with very high positive reputation - I bought mine from one in UK, and it arrived about 3 weeks after the purchase (and keep in mind that the brazilian customs is recognized worldwide as one of the slowest, most burocratic in the planet). It was worth the wait, though, as the minimum value of the original vehicle dock sold "officially" in Brazil was more than twice the purchase and shipping costs from buying it in eBay...
Your problem, is everyone's problem.
This phone will only charge at 750ma, and not 1A like most smart phones.
You can change this by rooting the deivce and installing a different kernal.
Should you do this, you may notice the phone getting hotter whilst charging, and I imagine your battery's overall lifespan will be shorter,

Once my galaxy nexus is taken off the charger the screen keeps turning on and off displaying the lock screen. Periodically when the screen is off and not charging it will begin daydreaming. The phone will no longer charge in AC mode, only USB when plugged into in AC outlet. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? My thoughts are the usb tongue might have damage due to using another charger other than the one that was shipped with it. I hope this isn't the case since one of the nice things about android is most devices use nearly identical chargers. If it is, how can it be replaced and what is the difficulty?
The weird thing is that once it reaches ~50-60% the screen will stay off, but once it drains more down to ~20% the screen starts to come on again
Just got my M8 first time I turn it on it had half charged battery. I drained it to a point when I turned it on two times and than it went dead. I mean I could not turn it on. When I connected the charger no light came on and no response from phone. I leave it till toomorow and see if it will turn on.
I fear HTC is using the same chip for controling battery charge in M8 which if flawed by infamous HTC charging bug. If this is the case it is really start annoyng me and htc m8 will be my last HTC phone. I had so far Wildfire, Sensation ,Desire and all off them had a charging bug. Wildfire and Desire would not show the battery full even though battery voltage was at full charge. My luck? Or HTC has some poor quality components? My S2 still charges battery fine till today.
Ok. Anyone can check their M8 if you have charge bug if you battery is almost drained off power if it will turn on or stay dead?
If my won't wake up tommorow after all night at charging I'm gona exchange it on warranty and see another sample has the same charge bug.
Why HTC is not doing something with this CHARGE BUG on the newest devices? Puzzeles me.
I brought mine to 1%, cycled the power, then used it again till it died. Plugged it in, charging icon came on right away, charging light as well. Hope this answers your question, I didn't really read the whole post.

My M8 has just died because it wont charge, happened just yesterday. I left it plugged in over night and still nothing. Its a holiday here at the moment so have to wait until Wednesday for HTC to open.
Possibly The same Problem, Possibly Not?

Hi.
I've been having loads of problems having unlocked, rooted, S-Off, SuperCID & installing the ARHD ROM on my M8 (International) but it was, in a fashion, working. I too am on holiday & whilst I now know why I was having the issues & have the solution to them, I didn't have time before I left to resolve them. So, I brought it away with me to use for basic currency conversion & translation tasks & it was, as I say, functional. Last night, I decided to play a game on it & it was being laggy but I put this down to the issues I've been having, so didn't worry. It kept being laggy, so I tried restarting it to see if that would help but once it had powered down, it took ages to reboot, so I tried using the power button to switch it on. Again, it took ages & I briefly fell asleep but when I woke up, it had booted back into ARHD, so I figured all was okay.
However, when I awoke this morning, the device would not switch on. I plugged it in to see if something had caused the battery to drain during the night but nothing happens; the charging light doesn't come on & it doesn't power up, no matter how long I leave it! It is, to all intents & purposes, behaving as though it is dead (bricked?) but I don't know why it should suddenly do this, which is why I was looking for answers & came across this thread.
If anyone has any bright ideas, I'd be more than grateful to hear them
Mine needed a replacement charging board and chip unfortunately but HTC Vietnam was pretty fast, only took 3 days so wasn't too painful.
I like how "Happened to three people" == "infamous."
Yes, this sounds like a very isolated bug/defect. Since it is not reported by very many, the best course of action is RMA. ?
My T-mobile HTC ONE M8 has done this as well, however I was after serveral hours of trying everything I could think of, connecting it to the computer and various chargers and trying to hold volume up and power and replugging it to charger, it finally started charging. This has happened 2 times in the last 2 weeks.
Now that it's charging I wonder if HTC will take it and replace the charging board or battery. I also worry that I have it rooted and s=off that they won't honor the warranty.
There is something similar to this going on with mine - Was charging (maybe quite slowly), battery very low, phone reset. Booted into charging screen, amber light flashing. After a while (and trying to boot a few times), no light, nothing. Charge current is 0.00A
Edit: I remember something like this with the old Desire - there was a trick to reset the charging circuit, which was maybe locked up and not getting a good po_reset, so never enabling any charge. Something along the lines of unplug, hold some buttons for some time, plug, profit... Does anyone remember this in detail?
I had the issue in this topic, and got it solved.
Here are forums where I have found similar case and solution.

I have a particular case. My phone is a HTC One M8, but I have protected it with a special case with a battery extension, home made. I have assembled myself the batteries, chargers and boosters. My booster has a small issue and does not enter safe mode when battery is low. It warns about low batt with a LED, but still tries to deliver 5V. The booster is connected to the phone via a flat cable, stolen from a wireless charger; those chargers have the smallest USB plus I could find ever, and, I found this plug only in these decvices.
When the main battery of the phone is empty, I switch the booster on, and recharge the phone with the backpack. I have to look at the LED; when it's red, I have to switch it off. Everynight, everything get charged on the same single plug. One plug to charge both batts.
The advantages of my solution are:
- phone can last 18h with heavy work (wifi, bluetooth, GPS, and screen on, continuously)
- heavy case to protect my phone, plus tampered glass
- one plug to charge everything
- the micro-micro USB plug is ALWAYS in the phone. This means, the female plug of phone can not get dirty, or filled with dust. I never unplug it, so it does not age. I never plug a classic USB cable directly in the phone, so, no chance to break it. I have broken 3 or 4 times the back charger plug; if I am in hurry, I can exceptionally charge the phone directly; next day home, I can fix it.
This night, I was using my phone, and switched the backpack on. I could not plug my wall charger, because it's home made, has an issue, and makes the virtual keyboard erratic. I fell asleep with the phone in my hand, and the backpack went red ... for 4 hours. During 4 hours, it was trying to deliver 5V, and failed at so. Since my battery was delivering an unstable +5V, the phone was trying to charge, was staying on, but could not properly charge. In the end, all batteries got flat.
This morning, when I woke up, I plugged the stuff; only the back-batt started charging. Phone itself refused to charge; screen was black, and charging LED stayed off. So, I fell in what we call the "phone refuses to charge".
But, because of my set-up, I can *NOT* be in the dirty or broken plug case. Just impossible. And because of context, I just knew I had a flatt battery. This is technically called "deep discharged". And it contributes to aging of batt. Like overcharging, this heavily affects the total capacity.
I knew I could fix the issue by opening the phone, and putting a LiPo charger directly on the batt lines. I have loads of standalone chargers. I had a standalone wall charger for my previous HTC Sensation. But with the M8, we can not just open the case, and take the batt out. It's much more complicated. So, I have been Googling for more than half an hour. 95% results were about "remove dust of plug" and "bring it to the shop to change your plug". Some people also mention "a bug in the charger chipset".
I have plugged the phone on a classic USB charger, but via an USB meter monitor:
dx.com/p/382581 (dispite description, the device can accept up to 13V on input - this detail is critical when you use real QC2 chargers able to deliver 9 and 12V, like this one:
http://www.amazon.fr/Chargeur-secte...&qid=1451509059&sr=8-4&keywords=aukey+charger
http://www.amazon.fr/batterie-exter...&qid=1451509059&sr=8-5&keywords=aukey+charger
)
The USB meter was indicating 5V 0.03 A (or 9V 0.01 A, depending on source). So, the phone was using a bit of energy, but clearly not charging. I have left it 4h. Just in case, can not harm.
Then, I pressed together power, and volume up. The phone started to boot after 55 or 65s. About one minute; but clearly way longer than 42 or 47s found on forums. It started directly to some rescue mode, then, started to boot normally, without doing anything. Just released buttons during the first white screen. After booting, I have a normal phone. Did not need to perform any action. During boot, the phone had 2% batt, and was charging normaly. But, the charger LED remained off; I waited 5mn, untill I got 4%, unplugged the charger, replugged, and then got the orange LED.
Remember that your M8 can accept up to 9V on input. QC2 Chargers are really faster: with 9V 1.5A, you can charge your M8 from 0% to 100% in 95mn, even if you are intensively using it (gaming, wifi, GPS). Next gen phone will accept 12V. Even if manufacturers ignore that. HTC buys chips, and don't fully read specs. Aukey chargers are more powerfull and better reliable than official HTC ones.
Remember that many "slow charging" issues are in fact due to bad cable: charger is good, phone is good, but cable in between has high gauge copper, too thin wires, and produces voltage drop between plugs. HTC phones require 4.4V at the plug.
Remember that M8 and most modern phones (same for Samsung) are now MHL (wrongly called OTG): they are true USB hosts; you can plug any device on your phone; just buy an MHL (OTG) cable for 4 euros, and then a USB hub, and then any device: mouse, keyboard, USB monitor, ethernet dongle, SATA adapter, CF-uSD adapter ... and for 12 euros you have HDMI converters. Modern smartphones are real computers. Use them.
Hi!
I bought my Sony Smartwatch 3 about two months ago. I've always updated the watch and now I'm on the latest build MWD49B.
I don't know precisely when the problem started, but for sure also before updating to the latest build it already showed it.
Basically if the watch is turned off it won't charge and it'll overheat a lot. I mean it maybe charges at an absurd rate, like from 60% to 100% in about 4 hours.
I tried changing charger (1A and 2A) and charging cable, but it doesn't change. It's like stuck in some way. The funny thing is that when it is stuck in this state if I turn it on (with the same chargers and cables) it starts charging fast (normal charging times) and funny enough it gets colder than when it's turned off charging (I mean slightly hot but colder than when it's stuck).
Do any of you has this problem?
Could it be a SW problem too or just HW? I haven't tried to reset it yet, but would rather lose time in resetting it and reinstalling all my stuff than losing time in the RMA process and waiting time to have it repaired, even because thinking of running without it makes me feel already mad!
I also have MWD49B and I'm charging my watch with (AFAIK) a charger which was bundled with Xperia PLAY docking station. Its output is around 500mA. Sometimes I was charging the watch with EP880 charger (output 1,5A) and I was charging it with BlitzWolf charger (output 2,4A). I've never had any problems with overheating and I pretty much never turn off my watch even when charging.
The problem is that some watches (especially the fresh ones from 2014 with glossy grey cap on microUSB port, not the full rubber ones like my watch have) might have faulty battery. If it overheats, charges 4 freaking hours... well it's REALLY long... my 500mA charger charges my watch up to one hour and I have no problems at all...
If you still have warranty, I'd suggest returning the watch, this overheating might be dangerous.
Hi!
Thanks for the answer.
My watch is from an April 2016 batch (written on the box), and it's one of those with the rubber cover on the charging port.
Just to be clear, if I charge the watch when it's ON, I don't have any problem and it is charged in less than one hour, the overheating problem and non-functional charging is present only when the watch is switched off and it is charging.
Me too...
I bought my Sony Smartwatch 3 about one years ago...
Whan I first charge it from PC's USB port , the same problem with you..
I don't know why...even I reset watch , it's the same...
So..I always charge the watch when it's ON...

I have the same, "new" batch, with rubber cover on USB port.
I'm not sure if I missed some of your text from the original post or you edited it. I'm talking about switching the watch on so it does not overheat.
I've noticed my watch behaves exactly the same! If it's turned off and charging - it's hot like hell and not even fully charged after two hours and if turned on and charging - cold and fully charged after like... one hour.
Strange because on earlier Android Wear builds everything was ok.
Same over here.
But I didn't try charging it while it is running.
But when it's off, it only charges up to 75% and gets insanely hot. Then, when used it drains normally until around 50%. After that, the battery dies within 1-2h
I also never had any issue with the battery before the last update.

I've had this exact problem. One thing I discovered is the battery will stop charging when it reaches a certain temperature. Try placing a fan to blow directly on it while it's charging. This has worked for me.

Same problem here.
I've got the SW3 of 2015 vintage (it does have a cover over USB - I thought they all did?)
Since updating, if watch is off while charging it gets very hot, charges very slowly and never to 100%.
The solution is simple enough - charge it while OS is running.
If the watch is out of juice: Start charging, let it get enough to boot and then again allow it to complete charging with Android Wear running. Then charges normally (about an hour) and doesn't get hot.
My feeling is this is a software issue too. I'm running M1D63G.
Since we all know batteries don't appreciate getting cooked, I'm wary of leaving it charging for long when off, I'm betting it will cause battery damage eventually.
Conspiracy theorist's might even suggest it's Sony's way of ensuring our SW3 batteries die, so we're ready to update to the SW4 - I'm not that cynical.
Hello everyone, here's the matter don't know where to ask it so this thread is similar...
I have 2 Sony3 watches, one with screen partially broken and the second I got it secondhand with a charging base made by the previous owner.
The watch that came with the charge base it always has the charge icon on screen even if it's not charging, sometimes if i reboot it dissapears but most of times it STAY :/
if i turn off watch vibrates and start "charging" all alone without connecting it so i don't know what to do with that cause it obv drains battery and its never really off...
Second thing, my old watch with broken screen worked well since i plug it into that base.... then is doing the same as the other watch, charging forever without charger seems like the base charge illness has affected my old watch too... XD
So pleaaase anybody know something about this? i've restarted them several times and with pcCompanion and the icon remains maybe a custom rom will solve or is hardware issue?
I am using may sony smart watch 3 for long time and i kept it for some month after then i carry it and begin to charge it but it will only show sony and then will not proceed i kept it again after i carry it i plug the charger and it only vibrate
This watch needs to be recalled or have an emergency firmware update. My smartwatch 3 overheated while plugged in overnight and melted apart. Thankfully it was on a metal computer case and not some paperwork. This annoyance has become a real safety issue. It's a shame because I loved this watch otherwise.
Just a general FYI to all of you, use a USB Port or a charger that charges slow and always turn it on when you charge it.
Our watch is really different compared to anything nowadays. It shouldn't but still charges faster than it (should) be allowed.
My Watch is still with it's first Battery and it holds for at least a day, just be careful
This started happening a couple of weeks ago, prior to the latest update.
When I put my P6P on the Stand 2 at the end of the day, I get the little sound and animation that it started charging. After a few seconds I see the message at the bottom that it's "charging wirelessly" and a time until full. I have the stand set on Max Charging and adaptive charging turned off. After a minute or two, the fan comes on. About 10-15 minutes later, it stops charging, (the message goes away and the current % is shown), and the phone is really hot. No matter how long I leave it, even overnight, it never starts charging again. The phone remains really hot until I remove it from the stand.
About 50% of the time, if I reboot it, it will behave normally again, but last night nothing I did would get it to charge wirelessly. I ended up plugging it into the wire. It never gets warm when charging on the wire.
It has been working fine since I purchased it in Nov. This just started a few weeks ago. Has anyone else seen this?

Try cable charging.
Charging will disengage if the battery temperature gets too hot, about >103F
Fast charging may disengage if the temperature gets beyond 95-100F.
Ideal charging battery start temp is 82F.
Erratic charging can indicate a failed battery.
Any swelling is a failure, replace asap if so.

As indicated in my OP, cable charging works fine every time. The phone doesn't even get warm. It's only wireless charging that's an issue, and not every time I try to charge it wirelesly. It's like the phone decides to stop accepting the power, and it starts to heat up because of it.
I take it you don't have a second wireless stand to rule out if it's the phone or your STand 2 that's behaving badly?
I have been using a genric set-up from charger to stand with my P6P and did have charging issues a few months ago with wireless charging not working correctly but the May update fixed it.

May be a hardware failure in the phone or stand.
Remove a case if it has one and try.
C ports generally last for thousands of charge cycles and cable charging is better for the battery, produces less heat.

No, unfortunately I only have one stand. I'll keep trying things to see if I can narrow down the exact situation when it occurs. I was mainly checking to see if anyone else had something similar happen and there was a quick fix.

Yeah, and I've always used cable charging on all my phones in the past with no issues. I thought the stand was cool in that it could fast charge and keep the phone upright so it's easy to read in the middle of the night. I'd really like to keep using it. It was stupid expensive and I'd hate to let it go unused for that price.
Thanks!

I've been experiencing similar problems with my Stand. Sometimes it charges normally, sometimes it charges REALLY, and I mean really slow... And sometimes I get the "Not charging" message for whatever reason.
I think it's gotta be an issue with the adaptive charging on the Pixel 6 Pro, because every time I put my other phone on the stand, my S21U, it charges without any issues.

Yeah, and I've always used cable charging on all my phones in the past with no issues. I thought the stand was cool in that it could fast charge and keep the phone upright so it's easy to read in the middle of the night. I'd really like to keep using it. It was stupid expensive and I'd hate to let it go unused for that price.
Thanks!

Yeah, I feel you. It could be firmware, a SEU which are rare but do happen. A reflash would fix it if so. Probably not worth the trouble to try and more likely to be hardware.
Cable charging be the best plan for now I think.
The old micro connectors were horrible and invariably would fail. The C connectors are much more robust. This N10+ is heavily used and the C port jack is still tight and has well over a thousand cycles plus a few drops and pulls. Even the original cable is still AOK.
Just came across this thread while looking for similar problems on my P4 with a 1st Gen stand. The phone showed the normal 'xx% charging wirelessly' display then at 79% it changed to simply '79%'. After a while the message went back to 'xx%charging wirelessly'. I took the phone off the charger and using a utility app called 'inware' I looked at the battery temp which was at 41.5C/106F.
So I'm guessing that the phone will stop charging when the battery gets hot and resume when it cools down a bit. What is 'too hot' and when does it cause damage, I have no idea. Google told me in a chat session the other day that it's perfectly acceptable to leave the phone on the stand all day. Personally, I take it off at about 80% charge which lasts me all day.
Mine also has this behaviour, taking it off and placing it back on continues to charge
I just sent my stand back for similar reasons - not good when a $12 Qi charger from Amazon was doing a better (and faster!) job charging.
I sent mine back too & am now using a charger that I bought at IKEA for £5. It's a shame as I thought that Google would have made more effort to integrate the charger & phone. Oh well, bling gone!
