Loose connection - unable to charge phone

I plug my phone in to charge and the connection is loose. I am unable to charge my phone at all now. I have tried 4 different charging cords. These charging cords will charge my kindle but do not charge my phone, thus the connection to the phone must be at fault. How does this get fixed? I just got the phone maybe 6 months ago.

The reason I suggested a Motorola OEM: Breezex is that i have a few in my collection and with having that option it allows me to use different one's at different times and if you look closely on the end on the micro USB some have no ribs to make the connection tighter and then some have this and it makes for more of a snug fit in the case of the Op's phone a Motorola charger with these extra ribs might just he or she need's here is a picture to show these ribs..
This is a picture I took to show the Extra Ribs fingers on my Motorola micro usb.. to help ensure a tighter fit when connected to the Device to see it closer tap on the Picture.. and yes that is my fingers holding it in place..

Hi, stig2013.
I would recommend the steps in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

If you are receiving an error message, find the exact error number that you recieved in the article below and process the steps.
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Travel Charger unable to charge phone

Hello
I got a Duracell travel charger for my birthday, to use when im out and about and unable to charge the conventinal way. I went to charge my phone with it last night (plugged USB into travel charger and micro USB into phone) and it is telling me that the power source cannot charge my phone, please ensure that your computer is not in hibernation mode, i do believe its telling me that the charger is to weak to to charge phone, im not sure what that should happen because the Duracell charger was fully charged and it's main job is to charge. I've got the latest everything, including latest OS
Here is the charger: http://www.duracell.com/en-US/product/instant-usb-charger.jspx
and it clearly says it can charge BlackBerry phones
Is there anyway to fix this?
EDIT: I've been using the BlackBerry USB cable which it didnt like, and just used the Duracell USB charger (which tbh are exactly the same) and it works, so i think it only likes the duracell USB cable, no reason why tbh

The charging source connected to your Blackberry device cannot charge your battery

My phone keeps saying "Low temperature: unable to charge phone." What is this?

I just randomly started getting this. I can charge my phone for a little while but then the message comes up. I need to charge my phone but I don't know how and I don't know why the message is coming up. Has this happened to anyone else or can anyone help? The phone is only like 2 months old.

The phone senses the battery temp, and will force it to shutdown if the battery is too hot. Also I believe if the battery is too hot or too cold, it will prevent charging. I believe there is a small sensor located inside the battery that is interrogated by the phone. It would not make sense for the sensing to be done outside of the battery... but I could be wrong.
The LG G2 doesn't have a customer-replaceable battery. I think the Lucid might (if someone is being re-directed from that other post). One would have to check on the Lucid. I don't have that model phone.
If I had a phone where the battery was replaceable, I would try a new OEM battery. On phones like the LG G2... I would call LG technical support. It might be as simple as the ribbon cable to the battery assembly is loose on the G2, but it's also possible the sensor in the battery is bad, or the circuitry in the phone used to monitor the battery is bad. Likely the phone would have to be serviced...

I am unable to connect wifi on my phone 4s since last 2 weeks... I am living in shanghai and did not have this issue since 2 weeks... iPad works fine... Please suggest some measures... Tried the on off reset settings etc. but no luck ...
In fact after updating the software to the latest version I am having more of this... Sometimes the wifi button freezes an I can't even slide it to on / off...
Thanks

Noooo! Actually I too had d same prob wit my iPhone 4S. When I connect to my wifi network it won't get connected or it wil be grey scaled! I took it to d istore and since I had warranty they replaced my IPhone. It iPad charger has high volt than ur iPhone charger so when u connect wit it, there is a chance where large amount of current passes thru ur iPhone. So for sure it wil damage ur motherboard and its parts! Many said that iOS 6 or 6.0.1 or 6.1 was d reason for tis wifi prob! But apple never made its mistake wit it's software. If and only if u hav hardware prob u wil hav these sort of wifi prob Bluetooth prob! So best way s to replace ur iPhone!

"unable to charge battery with connected source"

About 2 weeks ago I had to do an accessory RMA, since the "prongs" on my cords were almost non-existent. I received the new cords and things seemed to be fine.
Today, though again, my charging cord seems to feel "loose".
Today, while charging my PlayBook I do not see the "lightening bolt" across the battery, a "glow" appears in the upper left corner denoting new updates and I have a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it and the message, "unable to charge battery with connected source".
I admit that I am at a loss on this one.
I am running 1.0.7.2670 OS

Things that might help us help you:
1. Is this the included charger, which plugs into a wall socket and the USB port (in the middle of the three)?
2. Which "prongs" are you talking about? Usually the term would be used only, if at all, for the two/three metal prongs that stick into a wall socket. If you're talking about the other end, where it plugs into the USB port, it's hard to imagine what you mean by them being "almost non-existent".
3. What country are you in? Different chargers are used in different countries, and this may be relevant here.
4. Do you know anyone else with a PlayBook, so you could compare the behaviour by swapping cables, seeing how theirs fits, etc?

Windows Phone Emulator is unable to connect to the Windows Phone operating system: The phone did not respond to the connect request. Some functionality might be disabled

We are receiving following error, while trying to deploy the application on Win Phone emulator. “Windows Phone Emulator is unable to connect to the Windows Phone operating system: The phone did not respond to the connect
request. Some functionality might be disabled.”
I have tried all possible ways that we found on blogs. We are still not able to solve this issue

I have had a lot of issues with the emulator in the past.
Check out this troubleshooting guide. It might help:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj681694(v=vs.105).aspx
Also, I find that if I cancel my build/deploy while it is stuck on booting the OS and then wait a short while the phone OS will complete booting, and from that point I can deploy to the emulator. It's a workaround, but it works well for me.
I need to do that on Windows 10 tech preview, which may or may not be simply an incompatibility with the beta OS.
I'm a self-taught noob amateur. Please take this into account when responding to my posts or when taking advice from me.

I'm unable to charge my ipad2 by connecting it to laptop or desktop

I bought a ipad 2 from US.Now i'm in India.I'm unable to charge it by connecting it to laptop or desktop

Unless you have a high-powered USB port on your computer then it won't charge (not quickly anyway) - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060 :
The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.

I dropped my iphone 3gs now it goes on when connected with a charger but battery show 0% battery. as soon as i disconnect the charger the phone goes off....

Your the one saying it won't work properly, so yes it is broken.

HT4623 i am unable to charge my iphone 3 when I connect to my iMac 10.6.8. Cable is working appropriately. Please let me know how I can resolve the issue?

Unable to charge Iphone 3. I have tried charging through 3 ways -- wall mount, imac 10.6.8, as well as itunes installed on windows. While wall mount and imac charging stopped few months back, windows was still in a position to charge. today onwards, nothing is working

That message covers several things. Most often it is a cable problem, switching to another cable (Apple certified) often fixes it.
Second it can be security software on your computer interfering, temporarily disable all of them and try again.
There is a third jailbreak related issue, you could be attempting to contact a site other than Apple. Try it on a different computer where a jailbroken device has never been used. The final jailbreak issue normally affects certain models of the 3Gs but possible can affect a 3G. Altering the baseband chip for your unofficial unlock my have damaged it.

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Wi-Fi loosing connection every few seconds on my macbook pro and its not my router's fault (running yoseomite)

Basically I bought my new Macbook Pro retina display in September 2014. My wifi was working perfectly well for about a month or two until Yosemite was brought out. I'm not sure if it was immediately after I downloaded Yosemite or not, but not long afterwards I noticed I was having trouble with my wifi (and not just mine but my schools as well). Every time my computer tries to join the wifi network it will work for a while (5 seconds) and it will say that I have a wifi connection but then it will just stop working and it will say I'm not connected to wifi. A few seconds later and it will then reconnect and say I have wifi. I am fairly certain this is not my wireless router ( a BT home hub) as I have other devices such as my iPhone and a computer which does not suffer these problems. After a while of it loosing connection and then gaining connection it will finally stop and the wifi icon at the top will suggest I have a wifi connection but when I hover over it, I see it says "Wi-Fi:looking for networks..." and then 2 seconds later it will say "Wi-Fi: On" and it will repeat like this for however long I am on the network. When the icon appears to suggest I have a connection I am able to load a webpage but it is slow and watching Netflix can be tiresome. I've scoured these forums for information that will solve my issue however all I have found is outdated information from 2010 or 2012 or too technical information that I can't understand. Does anyone else have this problem, has anyone else found a solution, it would be much appreciated if any one could help me solve t.

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Be sure to test on more than one Wi-Fi network, if at all possible. A desktop computer can be tested with a mobile hotspot, such as the hotspot created by a cell phone. If the problem only exists on one network, then the access point of that network should be the focus of your attention, not the computer.
Step 2
Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
Step 4
Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences and unlock the settings, if necessary. Select the Power Adapter tab, if there is one. Uncheck the box marked
Wake for Wi-Fi network access
if it's checked.
Step 5
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 6
In the Wi-Fi settings, select
Advanced... ▹ TCP/IP ▹ Configure IPv6: Link-local
Click OK and then Apply.
Step 7
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 8
Reset the PRAM.
Step 9
Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. You'll be prompted for the password when you reconnect. Save it in the keychain.
Step 10
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.
