Last night I arrived home and plugged in my M9 with around 9% of battery. After a couple of minutes I notticed that it not only wasnt charging but also the battery level was even lower tan before. I had experienced something like this before, when charging the phone and using any resource intensive App at the same time, the phone displayed a message saying something like "the device is using more current that what is being provided by the charger so the phone is not charging". At the time I assumed that was normal, now Im not sure. So my phone wasnt charging at all and the battery drop down to zero. When I unplugged the phone to see if it was wrongly connected or something like that it turned off, obviusly. I plugged it in again and the battery symbol appeared but it didnt go above 0%. This happened for about an hour, then it did not even show the battery symbol but the orange led still blinked (I googled and found out this means battery is too low to turn on). After twenty more minutes, the blinking led was gone too. I left the phone plugged in overnight but nothing changed. I tried using another charger and the phone suddenly turned on with 9% battery. I used the phone for five minutes or so to check if everything was fine, the battery went down to 4% and now again it is not charging independently of which charger I am using (i have the one that came with my M9 and one that came with a Sony Z3).
Any ideas of how to fix this?

I had a similar issue last week when I was charging with any charger that was not 1.0 or 2.0 Qualcomm rated. The app that was causing it for me the the Taco Bell all believe it or not... that was the only app I had install before noticing the problem. After uninstalling the app and charging the phone with a 2.0 charger, did not have the issue again.
HTC M9 not charging when turned on possible fix
Hello,
I managed to get my HTC M9 to charge again.
Issue: HTC M9 not charging when turned ON, but ok when turned OFF and back ON while being connected to power source.
Workaround: Go to settings/ developer options/ select USB configuration and then change settings several times and finally select 'charge this device'.
I did not test USB connection to PC but it should work when selecting media transfer protocol MTP.
Note: OS is Android 7.0 Official release

Hey all,
I'm having a bit of a problem with my Nexus. It was working fine up until today, when all of a sudden (when it was low battery) the screen kept coming on every time I turned it off with the low battery warning. Each time it did it seemed like the percentage was going down by one. I restarted the phone and it then told me 0% remaining briefly before shutting off.
Now the battery icon is flashing as if it is being charged even when it is not plugged in. When I plug it in from the mains it also seems to sometimes say Charging (USB) instead of (AC). When I plug it in to charge while the phone is off it does not show a charging icon (waited for a minute or so).
It sounds very similar to the bug reported here. Could this possibly be a ROM/Kernel issue (I'm running Manhattan ROM) or do I have a hardware fault?
Cheers

You are having this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427539
This is a hardware problem. You should RMA your device, or change the USB charging board yourself.
I had this exact problem myself, and tried many ROM/kernel combinations but it didn't help. As I didn't want to RMA my phone to clove.co.uk, I bought this board (http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150713366355) which fixed the problem.
A few hours ago my phone started emitting beeps as if some notification was turned on (I have all such off). I have not paid much attention, as the beeps eventually stopped (!!), except for when noticing, a while later, that the phone - albeit plugged in and with the battery indicator showing "charging" - the percentage was decreasing. I watched it for a while, and the batter was discharging while plugged in. Did the followings:
- replaced the battery with a new/charged one (my spare) - same behavior
- replaced the cable with the original samsung - still the same problem
- tried wall outlet charge, laptop charge (via USB), etc - same problem
The questions for those having experienced such:
- would the beeps be indicative of a problem, or just coincidental???
- the phone is definitely the culprit here - the question is if there is something that could be done for some sort of cleanup of the port, or improving the connection (seem to recall some such from a site - maybe this, maybe another forum - could not find the article by searching), or further tests I could carry out, before I take the phone into the repair shop (which I am not sure if there is such in my area)
TIA,
Stefan
can your phone charge with the phone off? Turn off the phone and then plug it in, do you see a big battery icon charging? Also is your phone rooted?

Upon turning the phone off and first plugging it in, it depicts a grey battery with a non-spinning wheel in the center. After approx. 10sec the screens starts showing a semi-filled with green battery, with a scrolling bar of dots underneath it (active this time, unlike the wheel described before).
I am sure that everyone knows what I am talking about, having seen it many times before, even if my description is not that good. The issue is that I have never paid attention to this part - mostly because I almost never had the phone plugged into power and not immediately turned on.
Observation after doing the above: after having left the phone off for almost an hour, the battery charge decreased (84% -> 80%) while the phone was plugged in.
NOTE: When the charge was 100%, by using a battery I charged with an external samsung charger, I also re-calibrated the battery using the app (phone is rooted, but always using the stock ROM). Just FYI - if that matters.
Thanks for any [ongoing] assistance.
ok if your phone was off and plugged in, and was still losing charge then I'm not sure what to do, sorry, hopefully someone else who has experienced and solved this can help you out.
my issue was similar to you where i couldn't charge my phone while it was on, i could only do it while it was off...it was a software issue, so i flashed the stock ROM, started from scratch and everything was fine from then on.
if you havent already, make a back up of all your important data (msgs, apps, etc.) download a stock rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2276645) and flash it, maybe that might solve the issue
The beeps may have been the phone detecting the charger on then off multiple times. Check the charge port on the phone for any breaks or debris.
Otherwise I dont know what to tell you aside from try another cable and charger. Sorry.

Damn ! I had this error too but it would charge but so SLOW! It was on a ROM/KERNEL that i've flashed , I cant remember wich one. Try charge your battery in Recovery ( this was my solution )
Hello,
I just got a refurb N7 in the mail and upon arrival it was dead, no battery which I found odd. Plugged it in and the charging symbol appeared on the screen. After powering up and connected to the original charger it would still say Connectt to Charger and always has a red exclamation, not the charging symbol and no progress. This went on for most of the night and I couldn't install the 4.4.2 update due to low battery. Multiple restarts and hard reset and same thing. Hours later after I unplugged it again the battery all of a sudden showed full, I applied the update and plugged it back in. Still, say Connect to Charger but now it shows the charging symbol but the animation showing it charging isn't there and the battery looks empty. Unplug, shows full battery.
I am pretty sure I am going to return it but thought I would hit the forums to see if anyone had any ideas?
Dont mess with it, return it

I'm having some problems with my wall charger or phone, the battery notification icon doesn't even change when i plug it in. Pluging to the computer works as expected, the icon changes to the charging icon.
I thought the charger was dead so i tried on a friend's zenphone 3, it seems normal on his phone, right on the lock screen it says it is charging (that doesn't happen on my moto z).
I turned off my phone and connected to the wall, the led turned on and it was charging, so it is not completely dead...
Turned the phone on and still no indication it was charging. So i opened the battery status and it says it is charging, it is VERY slow (still at 25% after many minutes) but it says there it is charging.
Unfortunately i couldn't try another charger yet. I haven't modded this phone in any way, still, could it be a software issue? It even got an OTA update yesterday but it didn't solve the problem.
Insert the pin in your​ device properly or it will charge slowly.
First time posting , I guess, usually I just browse through for info... but now I feel a bit in a dead end.
Spent a few days snowboarding with the phone in pocket, so exposure to cold subzero temp. lowest around maybe -10, only symptom during that period was camera started flickering showing purple lines but worked fine later on.
Also had trouble charging one night, as phone spent entire night being plugged in only to show it was discharging the whole time, and battery low in the morning, couldn't get it charge even after cleaning port making sure its clean and dry.
Phone ended up running out juice and powering down completely... it didn't respond for hours (tried different chargers) but than suddenly the power bank I use showed it started drawing about 9V and 0.1/0.2A for some time and it slowly started drawing more power and charging to 100% took more time then usual...
Next time I tried charging it when it became low around 20% it wouldn't charge from the wall charger or battery charger.
Tried a lot of resetting, rebooting, but the battery just started dropping really fast each reset.
Plugged it in and tried the volume up/down, power button reset but all that did was a multiple resets and still wouldn't draw charge from anything.
In the end it just stopped responding to anything.
I would show a few orange flashes when I plug it to something and than stop.
Tried leaving it plugged in all night but nothing. Leaving it alone for 3 days also did nothing.
Then it stopped even showing the few orange blinks.
Current status:
Plugged it into computer usb and started showing orange flashes, decided to leave it plugged in.
Showed on screen the battery and 0% after a few min. Screen brightness increased after 20min.
Now its been 3h and its still only showing 0% for battery and flashing the orange light every few seconds, nothing else.
Will go to sleep now and leave it plugged in computer all night.

Have you tried a different USB cable & charger?
There have been numerous reports in these forums concerning charging issues with the device. If you've cleaned the USB port on the phone and have tried multiple USB cables and chargers, then most likely your battery is the culprit and needs to be replaced.

In a lot of cases they managed to restart the phone...
Yes I did that. Phone is still showing 0% battery after being plugged in computer usb, I find it funny how it wasn't responding at all to the wall chargers. Now for the question of the day, can I have the battery replaced without losing data? I asked a service center that kinda could be a HTC representative but cannot confirm it and they insisted that they have to do factory reset.

Can you charge the phone up and get the phone to boot to TWRP? If so you can mount your phone to your computer and back up all of your files on your internal storage to your computer.

I don't have TWRP but I just did manage to enter the stock recovery? and its just sitting there not really charging up but using 9V and 0.4A to stay powered up in that mode.
Can you tell me if I go to service center to get the battery changed will I lose all data by default of that process?

I wouldn't think that merely changing the battery would cause you to lose your data, or why they would do anything to your phone that would wipe your data from the phone.

Alright, that was my primary concern, thank you. The service sector where I live is pretty bad, and they do stupid stuff, follow stupid rules.
Update: I switched through a couple of chargers, and tried going into recovery after which I initiated a restart, phone booted normally and showed 24% battery, now is connected to original QC 3.0 ... and charging up, but stopped after 1%, I unplugged it and plugged it again and it continues to charge now with steady orange light? this is really nerve wrecking... what is the real issue? battery, charging port?
My goal is to try to charge 100% back up everything and then I can send it service.
