[Q] Eliminating the charged message

So... this old problem is back with a twist. Basically the thing beeps and wakes the screen up when it's done charging and keeps doing it on a timer or something.
I'd like to disable this but the solution that worked on ZVD (Xposed framework and G2 Xposed) doesn't work anymore.
Anyone have any ideas on how i'd disable this rather annoying behavior?

Mine used to do this all the time. As it turns out the charging cable had gone bad. I replaced it and it has never done it since. You may want to try a new cable.

Bother... The problem is that i'm not using a standard cable as I shoehorned one of those wireless conversion kit antennas in between the case and phone. I'll have to remove it and plug it in to see what happens. (still have the original charger and cable)
Whelp, thanks for the insight.

Yup... plugged it into the charger yesterday when I got home and it only binged at me once when it was done charging.
I'll have to do some testing and see what was causing the issue, the charging pad or the wireless charger. I'll have to try the other one I have.

Taking longer than usual to charge the phone?

Something seems to be wrong with my charging port, lately its been charging at a slower rate and at times when I use my phone while charging, the percentage actually drops. I am using the standard OEM charger and also once in awhile it wouldn't charge and I would either have to fiddle with the plug or restart my phone. Anyone know what the issue is?

Some basic stuff, just to eliminate the usual suspects before going any further:
1. Have you tried another USB cable?
2. Have you tried another charger?
3. Have you tried another USB cable AND another charger?
Of course, it may indeed be a problem with the port on the phone. But in my experience, USB cable is the most typical reason for weird things going on with charging, as well as data transfer...

Yes, I've probably tried over 5 different usb cables and chargers from friends and around my house, still the same problem. I'm thinking it may be the port.
So far, in the past months or so, my phone started acting up with the charging, then my battery died and could not power up my phone unless charged, replace the battery, charging issue was still there and now recently charging slower plus my microphone is dead. I wonder if how hard would it be to replace to port. Trying to prolong this phone until Z4 is out.

Phone doesn't charge

Hi everyone!
When I connect my phone to the charger, it doesn't always start to charge the battery. Only about every 10th time it succeeds.
I tried 3 differnd usb cables, all original sony. It's the same with all of them.
I tried to move the cable in the phone, but it's stable. Also if it charges, I can't stopnit by moving the cable.
For me it looks like a software error, as if the phone doesn't allow to charge.
Does anyone have the same problems?
Any idea how to solve this (in best case without wiping the phone)?
Thank you in advance!

This is a recent problem or have you always had it? You think it's software so does it do it with different roms, or have you tried? I read somewhere the usb port on the phone becomes faulty easily, this seems more your cause, if your certain it's not the cable.

Not Charging as Well
My ZL is not charging as well i plug the AC charger and it gets bootloop.
It stop bootlooping after 1 hour and show the charging icon, but it does not charge.
Do you guys think it is the baterry or some issue with the power management.
I tryed to Charge the baterry with and old Universal Battery charger it hold a little power.
The Cell works when i turn it on with the wall charger but show only 1% of battery
Please guys help me with that.

I don't think it's a hardware problem. I used 3 different cables, all original sony. Sometimes they work, sometimes not. I'm using USB otg a lot (got my videos and some mp3 on a stick), never had problems with usb connection.
I didn't have those problems for a long time, but I don't remember any special apps I installed in the last few weeks.
Didn't try any custom roms yet, I'm very satisfied with my current setup (except for the charging problem ). I'm using latest stock with google crap and bloatware uninstalled.
Hopefully the lollipop update is coming soon. If it's not too buggy I will give it a try.

Try cleaning the charging port on the phone and see if it helps any.
With the stock charger, I have found that sometimes it doesn't want to quick charge so I have removed the cable, flipped it over and it works fine. Not sure why, but it works.
Outside of what I've mentioned, a new cable and/or charger may be in order.

Quick Charge and PC connection stopped working

I was on a vacation and accidentally quick charging stopped working there. I had QC 2.0 charger from Samsung with me and I was using it for months without any issues before, but the phone just stopped charging with this charger. It often shows it starts charging when connecting it, but almost immediately the charging disappears. Other phone that doesn't support QC works fine with this Samsung charger and my G4 can be charged with a normal non-QC charger fine too.
I thought it is Samsung charger what broke, but I returned home and tried G4 with Chinese QC2 charger that worked before, although now it charges my G4 (unlike Samsung charger), but only at 5V voltage, it doesn't switch to 9V. So it seems something happened with the phone what caused that QC stopped working. I tried other cables and batteries without any change..
Do you have any idea what might happened or how to fix it? I have v29a Nougat with Kesseras kernel. Wiping data partition with cache&dalvik didn't help.
EDIT: so it seems it is not only QuickCharge, but also cable connection to my PC doesn't work - either the phone doesn't appear in the device manager at all, or sometimes it appears as unknown device. It only charges from the PC. Is something wrong with my USB connector in the phone?

Hi, I had the same problem as you, the only solution is to change the charging connector.
sorry for my bad english ahahahahha.
a greeting.

if you have warranty, deal with it, if you have not, take it to an unofficial technical service that usually costs more than € 30

Unfortunately I don't have a warranty, so I guess I should be happy that at least normal charging is working for now and when also that stops working, I should try to some service to replace the port...
