My evo has stopped charging. It won't charge with the chargers it came with..and i've tried my sisters charger and my own and nothing. Do i need a new charger? or is it the phone itself that needs to be replaced? It's running MIUI 11.5 rom and bcblend BFS. Oh btw i was looking at this charger...has anyone ever used it?

if you have tried two different chargers you need a new phone. That is if they were both wall/ac chargers and not of the usb variety which could be a different problem
My new Nexus and it's charger have had a falling out:
My charger won't charge my phone, but charges other people's phones. And other people's chargers charge my phone!!?
What's really weird is that my charger charges my phone when it's switched off but I've done a data wipe and it still won't work once the phone is powered on, so my question is:
What the motherf*ck?
Anyone seen this before?
I rooted, clockworked and installed paul obrien's customised ROM with the volume fix and extra menu and search buttons. And my phone was fine. I've got other chargers knocking around, although they're not the same. Should I be worried?

Please dont bump threads especially after such a short time its considered spam and can end up with the thread being closed.
What charger are you using to try and charge your Nexus? Mains or usb? I only got a usb cable in my box and they are pretty much just standard micro usb cables. You should also be able to use any 5V mains to usb converter which you plug the usb cable into to charge your device so as long as you can find some combination that works then I wouldnt worry too much about it.
However if you are concerned then send the phone back for a replacement while you are able to.
Mark.
You'd think the first place you'd go to would be Google or Samsung. Why wouldn't you give them a call first?
I have found that some of the lower power (1 amp or less) chargers are having trouble with the larger phones with bigger batteries. Interestingly, my old SGS2 desktop cradle/charger wouldn't charge the SGN (which fits into the charger - sticks out a bit but the phone sits on the mini-USB fine) with the charger that came with the desktop cradle. I replaced it with the higher powered (10W?) usb charger that came with my ipad2 and, lo & behold, the phone will charge.
Not sure if this helps or not but I've discovered that not all chargers are created equal.
Yea, some of the higher powered phones/tablets won't charge over the lower power chargers... hence why tablets won't charge over a PC-USB connection.
Sounds like the charger is faulty... unless nothing charges the phone.

Thanks for that stellar advice, and if the issue hadn't followed rooting and rom-ing my phone and hence invalidating my warranty, and not occurring prior to the fact, then maybe I would've. And just for the record, have you ever called Google regarding an issue with your phone?

Sorry, if I wasn't clear (and for spamming the forum?) but I got a UK SGN via phones4u on o2 and I received in the box a USB cable and an AC wall charger with a USB socket on it.
I don't think you guys are getting how weird this is:
If I connect my Nexus to a PC with the USB cable that came with it, it doesn't charge.
If I connect the USB to the supplied AC wall adapter and plug it into my phone it doesn't charge.
If I connect anyone else's smartphone phone to my Nexus charger, be it just USB cable or with AC it charges.
And if I connect anyone else's USB cable and/or charger to my phone it charges!?
My phone will charge from the supplied kit only when it is powered off, hence a software issue and not a hardware issue which is why I didn't call Samsung.
I've done a factory reset, I've restored to backups made prior to the issue occurring. I haven't admittedly done the full unroot and stock restore as yet and would rather not. I just wondered if anyone else here had experienced weirdness with the supplied charger?
Many thanks guys, sorry for the sarcasm earlier, it's just that I'm not lazy, I read and read up on things before posting questions. And I've posted very few questions on XDA since I registered here after buying my Milestone. I'm only posting in the general discussion thread so didn't think it'd be a big deal if I bumped this. The reason I did is I only have a limited time before I no longer qualify for a hardware replacement from the supplier if I claim it faulty. (which I kinda don't think it is)

Bumping this thread since I'm having almost the exact same problem and found this thread after searching. How did you solve it?
My situation is like this:
If I connect my Nexus to a PC with the USB cable that came with it, it does charge.
If I connect the USB to the supplied AC wall adapter and plug it into my phone it doesn't charge.
If I connect anyone else's smartphone phone to my Nexus charger, be it just USB cable or with AC it charges.
And if I connect anyone else's USB cable and/or charger to my phone it charges!?
My phone will not charge from the supplied kit when it is powered off.
Feels very wierd, the other two chargers I have tried were a 700mA ZTE Blade charger and a 2A Asus Transformer charger, both are charging my Nexus perfectly fine.
Hello,
Maybe someone can offer insight into a strange charging issue I have with my HTC One X which started just last nigh:
When plugged into (any number of) standard wall chargers, it won't charge - I know these chargers work 100%. Take the same USB cable out of the charger, plug it onto a USB port and viola, it charges!
Anyone seen this issue before??!?!?! Nothing has been installed / upgraded / uninstalled / fiddled with recently.
Thanks in advance,
Andy
For a few months now, I've been experiencing some issues with charging my S3. It seems like the phone will only charge in certain scenarios. For example, if I use the regular AC adapter, charging works fine. I can charge via USB on the computer using certain cables. I have a handful of portable battery packs and none of them will charge the device anymore. I've even swapped out the USB cable that came with the battery packs with the one that works with the computer.
I'm running the quantum rom, but had this problem with other roms as well. Only recently has it become an issue. I'm trying to figure out if it's a hardware issue with the device or if there's a software setting I can tweak that might fix this.
Thanks for any help.
Hi all,
a few days ago my phone stopped charging using the stock wall charger, connecting N5X to may PC using a cable was (and is) still working.
I thought the charger was broken, I tried my old Nexus 5 charger with no luck, I then bought a new compatible charger from Amazon which had the same problem so I guess it's something with my phone.
The thing I don't understand is how via USB I can still charge the N5X, anyone had a similar problem?
I guess my only option is to RMA the device (which I'd rather not of course, unfortunately I will have to deal with LG directly).
Thanks
