I charge my EVO off of my laptop at work and I have noticed that periodically it will wake up and the little lightning bolt indicating that it is charging disappears. The phone will go back to sleep for about 60 seconds then wake back up and the charging icon will re-appear. Is this normal?
Check your charging cable. Have you dropped your phone while it was plugged in causing it to become unplugged? That happened to mine and now the terminals aren't stiff (yeah yeah that's what she said haha), so it will only charge if the plug is at an angle that causes the terminals to make contact with the upper portion of the slot.
If so, I haven't found any way to resolve that.
If not, can you provide some more details? Will it charge if it's plugged into the wall?

Charges fine when plugged into the wall. Phone have never been dropped. When I plug the USB cable in, I get the option for Charge Only, Disk Drive, etc and choose charge only. It will charge for a long while, then the screen will wake up and the charging icon will be gone, though the icon showing that the phone is connected via USB is still present. The phone will go to sleep that way then wake back up with the charging icon present again. It's very odd.
My phone has started doing something very similar only it is connecting as Disk Drive when I select Charge Only. When it does this, I have to switch it to Disk Drive, then back to Charge Only. Sometimes while its just sitting there charging, it disconnects (like yours is doing) and reconnects to Disk Drive again while Charge Only is selected. I have to repeat the steps above and its an endless cycle.
this could very well be an issue with your laptops USB chip/circuits and/or power profile.
Often times, your computer will try to power down unused components.
Depending on your laptops usb, windows and/or bios may be powering down the usb at which point your phone wakes up, attempts to reconnect (waking your laptops usb up), then starts charging again.
You might try going to your device manager > usb controllers > usb hubs > power management tab > uncheck 'allow computer to turn off this device to save power'.
I agree with it being the power save on the USB ports. You will need to uncheck the "allow computer to turn off this device to save power" for each USB port. Keep in mind on newer desktops and laptops, that there can be eight or more of the selections available for you to uncheck.

I found out that the default setting for doubleTwist media player is to make it automatically set as a disk drive upon usb connection. This setting can be changed.
Hello, following my device does not start anymore.
- PC does not recognize it, it is not because of the drivers because my Zuk z2 pro recognizes immediately
- no vibration
- no Zuk sign
- The display of what happened when I press about 1-2 minutes on the power button and plugged into the charger that the LED flashes.
-Have ordered a deep flash cable from China and there it is not recognized on the PC
- I have removed the battery and connected to the PC and it starts flashing white Led
Another idea what I can do before I throw it in the trash. Should I buy a new battery? Thank you
Hello, so I'm on Android Q and recently having this issues. Tried multiple USB cable but nothing works.
The problem is that when I try to charge-plug USB, it won't automatically charge, instead I need to tap notification-"charging connected via device USB" and select 'thus device' then it starts charging.
The strange things is that when phone off, I could plug the charger and it works. I'm so fed up with this, also the 'charging connected via device usb' seems persistent and annoying
Anyone having this problem? Any suggestion?
Thanks!
You can set default USB activity in developer options. You can control the notification by pressing and holding it and turning notification off.
Thank you, what works for me was cleaning both USB and port with perfume.. thank you tho
Hi everyone
my z5 premium E6833 suddenly stopped charging
I tried different chargers and cables but that didn't work, just hearing the charging notification without led on, and the notification about battery is less than 20% gone as it is charging
tried to connect it to the laptop same thing with the charger and the laptop did not recognize it, although I installed the driver for E6833
when I connect the charger the red led turn on for three second then disappears and Sony logo show up for 15 second then the battery icon show up with the percentage of the battery but not charging
now it's only charging when I press power + volume up for 10 seconds until the red led turns on then the led become blue and it take's about 5 hours to fully charge
I tried to factory rest after charging it to 100% but that didn't work
any advice to solve this problem
When I plug my bs3 into my pc it quickly does the popup to ask if to use as charge or file transfer. Then just keeps flashing that notification on and off on repeat while making the connect and disconnect sound and the pulse vibrate. Can anyone tell me what is causing this? Its been happening since I got the phone and have tried different usb ports and two different usb c cables.
