Hi there guys! First of all, i'm sorry for my poor english, i'm from Brasil, so, don't use it a lot! But well, i own the G5S for 3 years now, never had problema with charging or the battery, but, the last months were kind of annoying. Whenever i try to charge it in a charger (mine or any other charger) it just doesn't happens, no signals of charging. But, if i use my computer i can charge normally. I read somethings about how the computer send eletricity to the phone, in contrast with the charger needed to be "asked" for eletricity. Do you guys have any idea what it could be?
Original ROM, Original charger, not original USB cable. The USB port doesn't recognize some cables for some reason (maybe dirt). And, for last, i still didn't factory reset the little one (too many things on it).
Thanks for the help!

Hi guys, I have a Tilt2 with the EnergyROM...
My phone recently started acting up, and wont charge the battery when plugged in (oem HTC charger)
The orange light turns on, and phone says charging but battery level doesnt change, in fact it drains as usual. Yet sometimes if I leave the phone plugged in it will start charging?
I also get the current charge isnt enough switch to AC charger or close applications error sometimes when plugged with the AC charger...
I'm leaning towards a bad battery but wanted to see if anyone had this problem before?
Thanks in advance!
That sounds like a charger problem. try a different one.
thanks for the response...i tried a charger that had the usb plug to it, i tried a charger with a usb end on it, and two car chargers and i get the same effect...i did hard resets and even installed a new ROM to see if it would help. but no luck

It's the the charging points , look at the middle bar is it staight across try bending it just a little , a smidge left or right , I had this issue before and also on my original tilt and it fixed it.
Hello,
Recently the charge light on my phone started flashing when I plug it in to charge. While plugged in the phone switches to charging and not charging with the flashing light, as if I was plugging in the phone and unplugging it. Fortunately I have an external charger I can charge my batteries because it never charges while in the phone.
Reading other posts I've read that this could be due to an overheating battery, bad charger, bad cable or a bad battery. I have different batteries, chargers and cables and all have yielded the same result.
I'm Running CM on my Dinc . Possibly coincidentally this problem started when I installed adfree. However I have removed adfree and even flashed my phone with the newest stable CM.
Any ideas? Perhaps something fried in my phone.
Thanks in advance!
the port might be dead. will it still transfer over usb to a pc?
Thanks for the reply!
Nope, not recognized at all. Not even with USB debugging on.
That is what I was thinking to, but always optimistic of what people have done here. Kinda surprised that I haven't been able to find anyone with the same issue. Just lucky to have a unique problem!
Guess I have a hard decision ahead.... Rezound or Nexus
yeah no USB response is never a good thing.
How long have you had the phone? do you have the insurance?
Had this happened to me once due to the charging port being dirty. I just took an old toothbrush and some alcohol and brushed the dirt out. Has worked fine ever since.
When the phone is off and plugged into the wall, it charges. When the phone is on, and I plug it into the wall or computer, the phone doesn't know it's plugged in.
I ordered a brand new usb charging flex jack and replaced the old one, still the same problem. What gives?
EDIT: I am stock. Not rooted.
Does this happen on the original cable also?
Have you tried wiping?
Is Fast Charge on?
Fk. It doesn't even charge from the wall! When the phone is off, it has the animation that says it's charging when i plug it in the wall. I left it plugged into the wall overnight. This morning I took a look at the phone, and it didn't charge!
Oh noez, what should i do?
Also, I don't have the original cable. I'm using an HTC one.
EDIT: Dafuq?! I found an LG charger. Apparently the phone knows that it's charging when I charge with that. The thing is, that charger is just a charger; it's not a usb cable+ an adaptor. So I can't use it for adb and such.
What is Fast Charge?

You should mention what ROM you're on (and version) so that no one else makes the same mistake I did in assuming you had a custom ROM and that Fast Charge is on. It's a feature that makes sure that whatever charges it is recognised as AC 1amp charger as some chargers aren't designed well enough (I believe it involves a single solder point) to report themselves as capable of 1A. If it doesn't report as AC to Android, it will charge at 500mA instead (it assumes USB power). It sometimes causes problems with connecting to PC via USB.
Get another USB cable, this time none of that fancy **** go straight to OE Samsung or something.
=O I thot all usb cables are made equal! So I can't use an HTC usb cable? The dude didn't sell me the phone with a cable T.T
Also, I'm stock. I am not even rooted.
My nexus just started acting stupid when I plug it in also.
Mine sat in a drawer for a few weeks and when I plugged it in to charge, it wouldn't.
What I did was this.
plug device into charger
remove battery for a few seconds
replace battery
press power button
phone powered up and began charging.
Even now, it still sometimes doesn't recognize the charger and I have to unplug and plug it in until it does.
I use a rocketfish cable.

Some devices are picky, you'd think that all USB cables are made equal (I did too) but some just don't work well with certain devices. I've had printers th... wait printers always have **** problems... I've had uh... usb extensions not work well with some Wifi dongles and such. My old milestone didn't like the Samsung cable either (yet the Moto cable works perfectly on gnex)
=O. Then it has to be the usb cable! No way it's not!
I ordered one on ebay =D
Rooted Gnex here I come!

Thank you dmappdev,
I followed your procedure (feel like talking about surgery here, which isn't too far from topic); I'm convinced that it helped in some way, directly or indirectly... as at first, my Galaxy S Advance still wouldn't recognize/charge my phone with:
1. its own charger,
2. my old Galaxy Ace's charger,
3. a universal wall usb plug used with the S Advanced own USB-to-USBmini cable.
My last idea was to use, quote: an old Nokia USB cable connected to my PC... and that worked.
I was much too happy my phone had remembered how to charge to stay mad... But I still tried those three means for charging again, and only the phone's original charger worked now. So the phone's charging ability has been "awakened" in some way, but only for the original charger ...technology is improving, but not the ethics on making life easier for the consumer.
All this was yesterday. This morning (there's more, yes), I saw my phone indicating a 100% charge although it had been disconnected from charge for several hours - something that had already happened once yesterday, before the unable-to-charge situation; a simple reboot took care of the problem, the battery status now showing a more realistic 53%.
Any comments to any of the above? If not, thanks again for your tip anyway !!!
Hi, My D855 need 4 houres to full charge, other people tell me they dont need more than 2 houres for a full charge. I use the charger and usb cable from G3.
Some one have idee of what to do or to try?
PS sorry for my pour english...
No need to apologize.
The standard things to try are to use a different USB cable between the charger and phone, and if that doesn't work try a different charger. Any micro USB charger can be used safely.
If neither of those things help, then take a look at what's using battery on your phone, and see if there's some app or process that's running out of control. If you haven't already, shut the phone off and then restart it. That should stop, at least temporarily any out of control processes. Also see if it charges faster with the phone turned off.
I change the cable and I think it works well now.
Thank for your help
Whenever i put my G3 on charging it charges like it's connected to a USB cable and the charging becomes so slow... :crying:
So i keep pluging and unpluging the charger until it charges regularly. (I'm using the original charger that came with the phone)
I tried a different cable and it worked, then i tried the same cable but with a different charger and it also worked .-.
This thing is driving me crazy xD every time i need to charge the phone i plug and unplug the charger more than 20 times until it chrges regularly and that charging sound come :laugh: the sound makes me feel happy
I added some pics to help
Please any help
Probably a bad charger
Wouldnt hurt to take into a service centre to make sure that theres no problem with the Micro USB port
