My Samsung Galaxy S4 charges in my computer but not the wall.

It has been working fine until today. I have had it for almost a year now. Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

Hi Vanessa,
As I wrote in my original posting, I have two Samsung chargers.  Neither was recognized by my phone.
After I charged my phone to about 60% via USB on my computer, my phone started recognizing my chargers again.
This seems to be a software problem of some type.  I don’t know what triggered this problem and am concerned that it will happen again.
Also, today my phone only held its charge for 3 hours on a 100% charge.  This is a big problem.  Before this incident two days ago, my phone held its charge for at least 8 hours.
I was told by the Samsung representatives at BestBuy that the most recent software update is very power intensive and has been draining batteries quickly.
Will there be a better update soon to solve these charging and battery consumption issues?
Thank you

    can some one help please, i have followed all of apples advice!!

    "i have followed all of apples advice!!"
    No idea what this means, unless you say what you have tried. When you say that you have tried "all", it really does not encourage anyone to make suggestions.  If you have tried it all, then, by definition, there is nothing left to try.

  • Why is home sharing showing up on one computer but not the other?

    My homesharing is showing up on one computer but not the other! They are both under the same account and both iTunes are up to date. Unfortunatally, of course its showing up on the computer that I dont need it on. Please help me! Thanks!

    It could be a firewall issue. Try disabling the firewall and see if that helps.

  • "printer is offline" appears on one computer but not the other (both windows 7)

    printer is offline" appears on one computer but not the other (both windows 7)

    This is pretty common to see when your firewall kicks in and blocks certain communication paths the printer takes.
    Here's a list of ports and programs that when allowed through the firewall, will restore communiction.
    Ports to open:
    UDP ports: 427, 161, 139
    TCP ports: 9200, 9220, 9290, 9500
    Programs to allow:
    hpiscnapp.exe
    hpoews01.exe
    hpofxm08.exe
    hposfx08.exe
    hposid01.exe
    hpqkygrp.exe
    hpqste08.exe
    hpqtra08.exe
    hpznui01.exe
    hpzwiz01.exe
    SLP_Service (also known as UDP 427)
    Have your security software provider walk you through allowing these items through your firewall.
    If this does not fix your issue, it is most likely an issue with the driver configuration. Your router may have assisgned the printer a new IP address and this can be changed in the properties of the existing driver.

    Any ideas?

    in remote app click on the
    lower left corner on the text
    top of the context menu click devices
    choose the appletv rather then your shared lib in the list
    if you are trying to view a movie that is located on your ipad on your tv using the appletv then
    you should use airplay mirror not the remote app

  • Ipod works on one computer but not the other?

    Can someone please help me? My ipod works on my laptop but not the desktop. When I plug the Ipod into the desktop it sometimes shows up in Itunes but says it's corrupt. Which it obviously isn't because it works fine on it's own when not plugged into a computer and it works fine when I plug it into the laptop. Also when I looked in my computer the Ipod would show up as drive j and it would flash on and off. Well, I tried plugging the Ipod into a different port and that worked as far as drive j stopped flashing on and off. I tried changing the drive name and it wouldn't let me because it always went back to drive j even after I changed it to drive z. Itunes is playing music and is up to date. I have Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit. Please help.

    Well start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

  • My charger will charge another hp computer but not mine?

    This morning when I turned on my laptop the charger said: plugged in, not charging. However if I plug another hp charger into my computer it starts to charge, same thing with my charger if I plug it into another hp computer it will charge it but the second I plug it into my computer it doesn't want to charge. Both the computer and charger came together when i bought it, the computer is out of warranty but it's not old less then 2 years. 
    This question was solved.

    It switches from not charging to charging so im not sure whats up, but if it's not charging if i wiggle it a tiny bit it'll start charging or if I unplug it and plug it back in sometimes it'll start to charge. Next to the plug on the notebook there is a light that turns orange when it's charging and white when it's just plugged in and not charging, so thats helpful I guess. I study computer engineering so I've tried installing the drivers again running a hardware scan and other thing and they all say that my computer has so problems.  
    Sounds like a bad charging port or circuit. Try to run the laptop without the battery with the adapter plugged in and does it work or not?

  • Battery charges in one notebook, but not the one I'm using (Pavilion g6-1c45dx)

    Hi everyone,
    I'm using an HP Pavilion g6-1c45dx notebook. Windows 7 64-bit.
    This morning I went to take my notebook to work with me and noticed that the adapter input had been bent and the battery was not charging. I assumed that the problem was just hardware, and bought an HP Notebook Smart Power Adapter.
    If I plug the notebook into the wall with the adapter, with or without the battery in, it works fine, but does not charge. It stays at 9%.
    However, if I put the same battery and charger into an older Pavilion (dv5) on which the screen is broken, it charges quickly with no problem. Although the battery check tells me that this (and the older battery from the dv5) need to be replaced, both of them charge perfectly fine on the older computer.
    As far as I can tell, there seems to be some problem in between the battery and the adapter that I can't quite get at. I don't understand why it would charge on the othewise completely non-functional notebook but not this one, which is barely a year old. If it were something loose in the power input on the notebook itself, then I don't know why it would run fine on the AC wall current.
    I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the battery drivers. I'm at my wits' end and really don't want to have to buy a third notebook in as many years. It is functional for now, but I don't want to be tethered to a wall at all times or using a busted old computer for charging purposes.

    Since the adapter pin was bent I assume that there could be some kind of short circuite which might have damaged the connection between the battery and the AC adapter.
    You informed that the battery test failed on both batteries... so you have tried older battery with this PC, what was the result? and how much charge was there when you ran the test?
    Why dont you try a system restore or recovery!!
    I can think of this as last option to eliminate any possibilities of software conflict.

  • When i delete an audio book from my computer it does not delete the book from my Iphone. it seems to be deleting the name from the computer but not the content. this has just started happening since the last itune progam updated. the result is i have

    I record audio books from my library onto my old iPhone. I download the book from Overdrive to my computer. I connect the Iphone to the computer and transfer the audio-book to the iPhone.  When I am done listening to the book i delete it from the iPhone by connecting it to the computer and doing a manual sync. this worked fine until the last i-tunes update on my computer. Now when the iPhone is connected and i tell the computer to delete a book it is only deleting the name of the book on the computer it is not deleting the book from the phone. The next time I connect the phone to the computer the program does not show the book in the phone but it is still in the phone.  I have no more room on my phone to get any new books on it.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? Please

    You are correct.  Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases.  You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again:  Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

  • HT204187 outgoing mail rejects password on one computer but not the other

    The mail program says the outgoing mail password is incorrect on wife's desktop computer, but mail works from her iPad.

My macbookPro rejects it each time. I have tried deleting it from keychain...still did not fix the problem. Any other suggestions?

  • I've borrowed my friend's iPod and I want to copy CERTAIN songs to my computer but not the whole lot. Is there any way to do this?

    I know how to get all of the songs off an iPod and onto a computer but I was wondering if there was a way to only get a select few because when you get them from the folders they're all labeled as F00 and stuff.
    Or is there a way to convert these strange labels back to the name they were originally saved as ?

  • HT201322 Will hiding songs hide them from all computers? Is there a way to delete a song off one computer but not the other?

    My mom & I share the same iTunes account and we finally have seperate computers. If i hide songs from iCloud on my computer will it also hide them on her's? If it does, is there anyway i can hide/delete some songs off my computer but keep them on her computer because I don't want her music on my compute but i don't want to repurchase everything i have....

    Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. it won't remove anything from your iTunes library. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • Ipod 4g doesn't charge/connect to computer, but freezes the computer when plugged in.

    As stated already, when i plug my ipod 4th gen. into my computer no charge sign appears on the upper right battery life. After about 5 seconds my computer then completely freezes, no mouse movement, can't cnt-alt-delete ect. i have tried all the open ports on the computer to no avail. I thought at first it was just a bad usb cable, but when i connect my ipod to my x box 360 it charges, so i presume it's not that. I've seen solutions to reset and are aware of how to do it, but after entering my password to reset it then asks for another password, i've tried every password i can think of but none were accepted for the second passcode, leaving me with 13 attempts and and hour inbetween attemps hence forth. any ideas or suggestions are much appriciated.     
    PS. both ipod and computer are up to date

    With Restrictions you can prevent suers for doing some task like purchasing items. See:
    iOS: Understanding Restrictions
    If you forgot your Restrictions passcode or do no know it if one somehow got assigned, then:
    - Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - If you are up to it see:
    How to reset forgotten Restrictions...: Apple Support Communities
    How to reset forgotten Restrictions...: Apple Support Communities
    If you just restore from a backup that has the passcode the passcode is also restored.
