Usb charging issue

my incredible charges fine plugged into a wall charger, but when I plug it into my computer to usb charge it cycles through charging/not charging, and it also seems to be an issue with my car charger, I thought the charger was bad but the issue seems to be happening now with my computer also..
any clues?

I went into the verizon store and they told my my phone was no good and I need to replace it, I had a real hard time believing that to be the case and with nothing to lose I played around with the power cables.
I took a pair of needle nose pliers and lightly squeezed the end of the mini usb cable and the problem is solved.
Very disapointed with the verizon store trying to just sell me a new phone, and not even trying to have me try a new car/usb charger.

  • Powered USB charging issue

    I purchased a Dynex powered USB hub. It's a four port hub and works fine for my M-Audio interface, my iPod Touch 5th gen, iPod Classic... basically anything I plug into it. However, when I plug in my iPad2 it connects to iTunes fine and transferring files is okay, but a message pops up beside the battery icon saying "iPad not charging".
    If I unplug the powered USB hub from the wall all the other devices continue to work, but now the iPad is completely unrecognized.
    I've tried resetting the iPad and unplugging all the other devices.
    It's a drag having this hub in an easy to reach location and still having to reach over to my MacBook in the farthest corner of my desk to plug in my iPad.
    Any thoughts/suggestions? Is this common? Should I try another hub at the risk of waisting more money?
    Thanks for any feedback.
    MacBook 2008 latest Lion, iPad2 (late model) latest IOS 6

    The power output from the hub is not the required 10W to charge the iPad (it is charging, but very slowly).
    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%.

    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.

  • USB Charging Issue after iOS 7.1.1

    I have the iPhone 5 and installed iOS 7.1.1 last week. Since the upgrade, my iPhone won't charge in the USB connector in my vehicle. I have a brand new vehicle this year and everything was working fine prior to the upgrade. I even tried other USB ports in my vehicle and other cords to narrow down my possibilities. Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    I have the exact same problem. My iPhone 5S will no longer charge from a Jackery battery pack or my vehicle USB port, using original Apple cables.
    I've seen postings here explaining that the charging in 7.1.1 has been made to check the chip in the charging cable, because of people getting electrocuted using off-brand chargers. But it seems that Apple are no checking both the cable and the charger, refusing to charge unless both are Apple branded.
    This is in my mind a terrible decision for the user experience, as it means that heavy, loyal and mobile Apple users are a) forced to carry around an Apple charger and b) need to plan their day around the availability of power outlets. My Jackery made sure I could still show my (mobile app based) train ticket and surf the web on the train ride home, even though I had not charged during the day. No more, it seems. Also, forget about using your iPhone on multi-day wilderness treks. No mains power? No iPhone for you.   
    My reason for buying Apple was to accept restricted choice in return for a superior user experience. This is restricted choice AND a poorer experience. Seriously, guys, you can do better.
    My entire family is Apple-based now, but if this does not change our next communications devices won't start with an "i".

  • Curve 8330 usb/charging port issues.

    My 8330 just started to have problems with its usb/charge port. I plugged it in last night before bed like I always do, but when I woke up it hadn't charged a bit and wasn't even recognizing that it had been plugged in. I tried my USB data cable as well, and that didn't register either unless I wiggled the cord around and held it still once it did register. I eventually did get the phone to register that I had plugged it in, but I had to wiggle the cord just so and leave the charger half-way plugged in once I found the sweet spot.
    It is a few years old and pre-owned, but this problem literally just cropped up. I haven't dropped it recently, and I only plug it in once a day. It has no problem holding a charge, but getting it to register the cord is a battle. Do I need to just replace it or is there a way to fix this? There are no other problems, just the port acting up. Thanks!

    You can try contacting Sprint for repair options for your device.

  • Even genuine iphone 5 usb charging cable does not work for an year?

    I have bought an iphone 5 last year. With it, came the  original apple genuine iphone 5 lightning USB cable. It did not last for half year. I had to buy another original apple iphone 5 similar cable and it was gone within 3 months. I dont understand is it cable manufacturing problem? is apply selling fake cables? It is really annoying and I am really angry that such a reputed company cant give/ provide proper long lasting cables.
    My experience with these two genuine cables was that after some months of  usage, i used to observe even if its plugged it would not charge, or if you push it hard its charging. Firstly, I never keep my phone charging all time. Then how the hack can the charging cable die? or problem arise. I bought the phone and the charging cables when I was germany. I had to buy a 20 euro local companys USB charging cable after above two stopped working with no signs of damage. I have also tried cleaning the charging jack or socket where cable is inserted. It did not help. This local charging cable started to torn out automatically and it got fully damaged, Now I am in India, I bought another cable of 10 euros and it is just two days, it would not charge again.
    I am really furious now whether you use original or local USB cables they dont last for even a week? what the ****?
    Do I need to really pay for those portable charger with a big price tag, that my problem will be solved? very very upset. I never have any complaint with the phone, but the charging catastrophies, really ****** me off. I think of going back to other mobile brands like samsung or nokia where there is never a charging issue or battery drainage issue once you charge its goes for days or it  is also expensive buy a nokia or samsung charger if lose it or break it. but for iphones its really bugging situation and not just me many people around the world are having sick problem with iphone brand with charging ISSUES.
    APPLE PLEASE SORT THE PROBLEM OR SELL the PORTABLE IPHONE CHARGERS (WIRELESS) CHEAPER so that we dont have to use these silly little lightning cables. or I fear my APPLE I PHONE 5 is not genuine or its FAKE.
    PLEASE HELP>

    Look closely at the way you handle the cables. I have never had any cable, Apple or third-party, fail on me.

  • Core MIDI from iPad Mini to Mac via lightning USB charging cable

    I want to use some of my Core MIDI compatible iPad Apps to control Logic Pro and other DAWs on my MacBook Pro via USB (Core MIDI over WiFi has unmanageable latency issues).
    I read on various forums that it is possible to use Core MIDI via USB using the Apple Camera Connection Kit or Lightning to Mini USB adapter, but doesn't this simply work with the included Lightning to USB charging cable?

    Image Capture is a built-in program and should be in your Applications folder, Aperture I bought from the Mac App Store.
    For Simple Transfer it's an iPad app, so you would download it on your iPad from the app store.

  • Combo built-in power outlet with USB charging ports...

    Are iPhones only fully functional while charging on an OEM plug?  We just installed a combination USB charger into our wall and now the touch screen will not work while it is charging?  Anyone else have this particular situation?  We are using a Legrand Pass & Seymour P/N 340982 Combination USB Charger.

    Seems the charger is the issue... I have never personally had an issue with using my device while charging via any accessory/cable/charger.

  • Can a USB charging port be replaced?

    I have a Samsung charge. If I plug in the USB charger, the phone goes blank and freezes. This occurs even if the charger is not connected to power, so I suspect there is a loose connection or unseated port. If I remove the battery and replace, letting it reboot, with charger plugged in, it will show the battery status bar as not charging. I carry 2 extra batteries with me, checked the other 2. Sames issue, so I doubt it is the battery.

    If the phone is still under warranty, you should check into the possibility of a warranty replacement. If it's no longer under warranty, it might be worth contacting a cell phone repair shop to see if replacing the charging port is possible. If they can replace it for a reasonable cost, it could solve your problem. Of course, be sure it's a reputable shop.

  • IPAD 3 battery charging issues

    iPAD 3 battery charging issues. Read most of the discussions. My question is: If I take my iPAD to Apple Genius bar - what's the test they do to qualify for a replacement (do they place it on a charge and see the charge for Y% for X minutes or do they have other methods)

    We're iPad users like you, so don't know.
    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).

  • IPad 3 charging issues

    I have had my shiny new iPad plugged in overnight with it's included iPad charger  (it was displaying some context for some of that).
    I have just woken up and it's only at 39%!!!! Now I know that it's meant to take longer to charge but that is unbelievable!?
    As I said I'm using the lead and charger it came with, the only exception is I'm also using a usb extension lead inbetween as the plug is quite far away. I used the same lead with my iPad 2 every night and it charged fine and fast.
    It also kept displaying not charging when plugged into my PC (which is definitely high powered ports).
    Should I be booking a genius bar appointment do you think!?
    Thanks!

    This is a genuine issue and needs to be addressed.
    Yesterday, launch day, I received a white AT&T 32GB 4G version, but I found the color distracting and AT&T lied to me and I got no signal at all where I live.  I was actually able to take it to my local store midday and exchange it for a black Verizon model.  The Verizon is screaming fast.
    Anyway, they both have the same charging issues so this is a definite problem with all iPads, or the iPad chargers supplied.  I believe Apple will have to send us all replacement chargers.  While using my iPad, even plugged into the 10W charger and with the cellular data radio turned off, doing nothing more than typing on this very forum with all other apps closed, the battery drains at a rate of about 5% every half hour.... WITH THE CHARGER PLUGGED IN!  The charger is active and the lightning bolt battery icon is up there.  The iPad will only charge when the device is fully powered down.  Even if it is in standby the unit will not charge when plugged in.  This is either an OS bug that needs to be fixed or the charger supplied is not nearly adequate.
    The iPad charger will charge my iPhone 4S rapidly, even when in use.  It also charged my previous iPad 2 in a decent amount of time.  But this 10W charger certainly does not charge the iPad while on, and the iPad certainly does not get 10 hours of use with or without the charger plugged in,
    This is a serious issue and one that needs to be address promptly.  Apple needs to send us all higher wattage chargers, issue an OS fix, or take care of whatever the problem is.
    They also obviously didn't think the new iPad development through.  The unit gets quite warm when in use and quite hot when the cellular is on.  Also, the display does not get as bright as the iPhone 4S, and several people at the Apple Store agreed with me on all these issues.
    Unless Apple wants to see a lot of returns and unhappy consumers, they need to fix this issue pronto.  In the time it's taken me to type this post the power has gone down another 3%, with the charger plugged in and supposedly charging.  Something is seriously wrong here.

  • Nokia N8 Charging Issue

    Is there any solution for the charging issue on Nokia N8? I even updated my N8 but the result is still the same.. The moment chargers pin is plugged in.. It shows... ''Unplug the charger to save energy'' and when the battery drains its next to impossible to charge it again.. Its truly frustrating.. I even tried to charge it using the USB Port when the battery drained.. But the result was still negative.. No signs or indications of charging!!!

    Hi CKailash,

  • [N85] USB charging problem

    Hello all,
    I tried to charge my N85 with an [non-Nokia] USB battery charger (Lenovo 90W Slim AC/DC Combo Adapter) via the Nokia Connectivity Cable (CA-101) to keep down the amount of chargers I have to carry.
    But except of asking, which data connection profile I want to use, there is no charging at all.
    Am I doing something wrong or is the N85 only chargeable by the original Nokia wall charger?
    Thank you

I just want to know whether someone else has this problem usb charging problems too or if only my problem, and to make know @sicut that he is not the only one with usb charging problems with his Nokia N85 and his Lenovo charger.
    @sapporaby, is it "apple" a word taboo for you? Why "kensington" is not taboo? Why "lenovo" is not taboo either?
    1. I have had every Mac made since 2003.
    2. I am typing this on a Mac now.
    3. I have had and still have every iPhone made.
    4. Same with every brand iPod.
    5. I am running Apple software right now and the Nokia for Mac software.
    Is that taboo enough for you? DON'T ASSUME because now your taboo question is moot.
    As for your the Apple charger does not work issue, my question still stands. While your Apple charger may have worked with your N95 there is no reason why it should work with your N85. Are they the same phone?. Is the N85 made by Apple? No again. Does the Apple charger supply the same charging voltage as the Nokia charger that came with the phone? These are issues that come into play. What is so hard to use the cable that came with the phone. It seems, and maybe I am wrong but you and the OP are making a mountain out of a moe-hill.
    Just use the cable that came with the phone, in the USB port of your computer and be done with it. I am having a very hard time trying to understand what the problem is with using the cable.

  • Xperia T charging issue

     You could try repairing th ephone with PCC, if that doesn't work then a battery "might" solve the issue, hard to tell until you get your phone inspected by your local Xperia Care PC Companion (PCC)  Bridge (for Mac)   Alternatives on How to backup Xperias http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/36355  

    Hi all, As some other people I have a charging issue with my Xperia T. I have read through the other posts, but found that they don't exactly match my issue, so here's what my problem is:Yesterday my phone suddenly crashed with 17% battery left. I tried to switch it on, only got the typical melody for low battery and the phone did not turn on, tried one or two times more, same issue. I then connected my phone via USB cable to a wall socket. The red light came on and it looked like it was charging, I left it for half an hour or so, tried to switch it on, it did eventually, but battery showed 1%. Phone then kept charging, but seemed to stop when it reached 9%. I then switched it off, switched it on again (while still connected to charger) and it then displayed 27% charged. It then kept on charging until it reached 44% where it seemed to stop again. I once again switched it off and on, it then showed 69%. I left it connected to the charger over night, in the morning it still showed 69%. I switched it off and on again and then it charged up to almost 100%. Then I used my phone during the day and when it reached 49%, I wanted to charge it again. Charger was connected, phone was on, the red light kept turning on and off and the kept displaying either "charging" and the regarding percentage or "connect charger". When I switched it off and then on again, it showed 22% (when it had still been at 49% before!). At some point it decided to accept the charging and I got my phone charged up to 100%. At a later stage when it was down to 82% again, I tried to charge again (just to see what it does), it did not respond at all apart from flashing the red light once in a while, apparently attempting to charge.I have tried different USB cables, different chargers, different sockets, no difference. I cleaned the mini USB port on my phone, there was a bit of dust in there, but that apparently didn't make any difference either. Would exchanging the battery (probably 2-3 yrs old) for a new one help or does the issue seem to be with something else? Thanks in advance for your help,Julia

  • Melted USB charging port on 920

    I picked my phone up off the desk this morning and tried to remove the USB charging cable from the phone but it wouldn't budge. On close inspection the cable and phones plastic were both melted. Incidentally the other end of the charging cable had been removed from the charger the night before.
    the phone works but the charger cable and phone are fused together. Has anyone else seen such a case? Off to Nokia care to get them to take a look.

  • Micro USB/Charging Port...

    Is it possible to use the charging port on the side of my Q10 as an extra data port? Can I use a micro usb drive as an external media storage device and access it through the port when I insert the stick, or is it just a charging port?

    I highly recommend every Playbook owner have a rapid charger. It is far superior to the USB charger and prevents the problem you have already encountered. Alternatively, I prefer the charging dock. It uses the same charging port as the rapid charger. I just bought one a few days ago for $13. Here is a link:
    http://www.amazon.com/Blackberry-Rapid-Charging-Stand-Playbook/dp/B004XDTXZI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=...
    It comes with everything you need to charge it. Both chargers do the same thing. I just prefer the dock.
