Phone suddenly 'dies' when plugged into charger

Hi, I have had my Z3C for about a week and I only started noticing this problem in the past 2 days.
When I plug the phone into a charger and turn on the power for the charger, any app which is running will automatically be closed. (Same thing happens when I remove the charging cable)
However, what troubles me most is that sometimes, the phone 'dies'. When I turn on the charger, the display will slowly fade out with black horizontal lines across the screen unitl the whole screen is off. It does not matter what app I'm running or if I'm simply at my lockscreen. (Yes, watching the lockscreen suddenly fade out as the LCD goes off is kind of scary) Any attempt to 'rewake' the phone by pressing the power button will not work. Holding down the power button only results in a brief vibration of the phone.
Only after about a minute, when I press the power button again then am I greeted by my lockscreen. Throughout this whole period the charging LED remains on.
Is there something wrong with my phone or is it a normal occurence?

That doesn't seem normal, you should contact your local Xperia care

ipad mini wont boot up, just pings when plugged into charger

Hello lorvic9195,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
You can use the following article to troubleshoot your issue with your iPad not booting. I would suggest looking first at the "Power/Battery" section. The "Battery or charging issues" first and then the "Other issues".

My phone will not charge when plugged into charger

Anybody have a solution when your iphone will charge charge

If the iPhone does not charge when connected to your computer either, the problem is with the cable being used or with the iPhone. If when using the power adaptor only, the problem is with the power adaptor.

Battery instantly drains when plugged into charger

A few days ago I went to plug in my BB at 1/4 full battery and when I did, the screen went blank, but the key pad was still lit up. I tried pulling the battery, but nothing turned on. I left it for a day and then tried it in my car charger, which charged it a little, and made me able to atleast turn it on, but the battery was completly drained. But I took it into my provider anyways and asked them to take a look at it. But as luck would have it, it worked perfectly for them with all 3 types of chargers (wall, car and usb). I brought it home and it charged fine with the wall charger. But today it did the same thing...Does anyone know what could be wrong?

I don't know if it's the battery, the microUSB charge/data port, firmware or electronics ... but my 8220 Pearl Flip is now a BRICK! It's happened before that it dies and fails to light up when the charger or sync cable is plugged in but at some point battery re-insertion would start the charging. Either the Canadian engineers or the Mexican factory workers have messed up badly with this device. If it ever powers up, I'll try removing every app
As an experienced PC technician, I conclude that a BlackBerry Mini External Battery Charger might be the only solution until RIM provides a fix. Get a spare C-M2 battery unless you want to carry the external charger with you and don't mind waiting for it to build up a charge. I've just ordered both on Amazon.
Found these 3 posts: ["I talked to a sales rep at TMobile about this, and she just said, "Well, just keep your phone charged and you won't have that issue." Hmmm, you think? My god, I charge my phone nearly every night, but I also use it a lot for work. If the battery gets low and I'm at work and still need to use it, then what? I've never had a phone where I couldn't just plug it in and keep using it. Very frustrating. Anyway, my question for people who already have the Flip is, does that phone have that issue, or is it possible to plug it in and use it, even if the battery indicates that it's low when you plug it in to charge? I'd hate to buy another phone that doesn't allow that."]
["I just got the 8220 flip two days ago. After charging, the battery lost more than 50% of the charge in less than 12 hours! I was told that this thing only needed to be charged ONCE A WEEK and that if it doesn't hold the charge, it needs to be sent back.... I am thinking that it's not just my flip that's defective, perhaps it's the whole product line."]
["I am having the same issue. About 10 hours of standby time. Even if I turn off all radios including the mobile network the phone is dead by the morning, every morning. This one is going back (I may try another, or just give up on the Flip)."]

Internet wont work when plugged into charger

my internet stops working when i plug my macbook into the charger. does this make any sense at all???

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
It would help if you told us what type of internet connection you are using. Wireless? Ethernet?

Constant bleeping when plugged into charger?

Hi there,
My iPad works fine in use, but I have a problem when I come to charge it. It bleeps the whole time with a message saying that it hasn't been backed up in X weeks, and that updates happen when it is plugged in, locked and connected to wifi. All the time it's doing this it IS plugged in, locked and connected to wifi. It drives me insane and slows down the charging – does anyone know why this happens and what I can do to stop it? I don't even need the wretched thing to be backed up, all my music and contacts data is stored on iCloud thru my iPhone and Macbook, and my user files are all on Dropbox.
Thanks!
-Kitty

PS: it's now barely charging at all because the alerts are using up whatever charge it has. Every time I lock it, it unlocks itself and lights up the screen with the message, and if I power it off it reboots itself again. The software is fully up-to-date.

Ipad does nothing when plugged into charger any suggestions

Is there anything I can do to check system?

Make sure the 30-pin connector is fully seated in the side of the iPad.
The quickest way (and really the only 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 (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (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

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.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

My MacBook Pro isn't turning on, at first it would only turn on when being plugged in by its charger and continued to stay on 0% and now it won't even turn on even when plugged into charger. What's wrong with it?

Please help

Is this an early 2008 MacBook Pro?
I observed two of these machines work perfectly for several months (different users and workflows) with no issues and with normal shutdown. The next press of the power button is greeted by about 3 - 5 seconds of DVD click, hard disk seek, and then nothing. Different batteries, chargers, and memory chips were used with no machine revival.
As these two machines were fully depreciated employer hardware, they were scrapped, rather than provided to Apple for hardware diagnostic and likely expensive repair.

Low vibration when plugged into a 220v outlet

Has anyone ever experienced a low vibration coming from their macbook pro when plugged into/ charging from a 220v source?

I noticed that, if my MB is charging whilst plugged into a 4-way adaptor plug (along with other things), such as a lamp, my mobile phone and a heated blanket, this causes the mild vibration on my MB case. I then discovered that unplugging the heated blanket from the 4-way adaptor causes the vibration to instantly stop. Leaving the phone charging and the lamp turned on appears to have no effect on the vibration at all.
So, if you're charging/operating other things/devices from the same adaptor (power source) as you're charging your MB from, then try unplugging these and just leaving the MB to charge form this power source on its own... see if that makes any difference.
It stopped the vibration for me anyway.

There is a hardware problem. Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.

Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black. Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in, any ideas?

Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black. Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in so I cannot restore or anything. Looks like the screen is on it's just unresponsive and black obviously. Has anyone had this problem? I was updating via wifi right in front of my router and my computer.

Spoke to a "senior advisor" in the Apple TV department. Her suggestions: change channel in router to minimize/eliminate wifi interference from other users; move router away from any metal - i.e., DVD player, phone modem, etc.; keep router away from wireless 2.4 gH phones, which are "notorious" for crashing wifi routers. So she confirms that the problem is one of connection to router suddenly dropping out.
My own feeling is that none of these fixes will do the trick, because it seems pretty clear that there is a hardware component here - the timing of the drops seems like an overheating issue. It takes 35-40 minutes for the box to warm up enough for the first drop; then each consecutive drop happens quicker than the one before, as it heats up more. Each time it drops, its tiny brain gets a little more scrambled; last night it finally wouldn't start up again at all.
My suggestion is that everyone who is experiencing this problem, please call Apple tech support and ask to speak to a senior advisor in the Apple TV department. Make them aware of this problem!

Also.... my phone works and can do everything fine when not plugged in.. I just can't get my computer or others to recognize the darn thing when plugged in!

Nonsense, and very misleading advice. I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4 through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones. Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either. Hack your phone and have update problems? I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
As per the forum term of service you can't get help here. Use google.
that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

IPhone 4S only powers on when plugged into a wall charger, stuck in bootloop

Today I went to get my phone's screen fixed. At first, the problem was that the phone was rebooting every 3-4 minutes. Then, after it died, it doesn't power on anymore, except when it is plugged into a wall charger. However, it is stuck in a bootloop, where it shows the apple logo for about 7 seconds, then the screen goes black for about 5 seconds, then repeats. I can't unplug it or else the phone goes dead, and plugging it into my computer results in the same deadness. I've tried DFU Mode, Recovery and everything else when plugged into my computer, but it remains dead and black screened. The phone is not picked up at all, it doesn't power on or anything. It only powers on when it is wall charged, but it will bootloop. I can't get past this, and there is no way I can restore it. Help?

Your battery is dead. You will have to replace it see article:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
