My phone has suddenly stopped holding its charge. The phone gets very hot whilst charging especially at socket and where charger meets the phone. Having removed and replaced battery the phone charged up, but discharged within a couple of hours without use.I'm not sure if problem lies with phone or battery?

It sounds from your description that the phone has a fault at the socket. Are you able to borrow or buy another battery to see if that cures the fault, and then you can be sure it is at the phone. If at the phone, you will need to see a service agent for the phone.

Had the same problem. You need new battery! (borrow from friend, if anyone has HTC to test if phone is OK with different battery).

Testimonial: "holy crsp it worked thanx:)"

SOURCE: cant charge my htc p3300 phone

you must have disabled that option, go to settings select power and there will be an option ie. "when device is turned on" deselect it.

SOURCE: I have a HTC HD2.

you should try to have it opened and inspected for mostly water damage. all those indicate to a fault motherboard. some components are shorting and causing the battery drainage.
this will require disassembling phone and be sure, this is a hardware problem not software.

SOURCE: charged battery fully fitted to phone discharged

HTC Phones are known for short battery life if you are using it only expect 2-4 hours
If you are not using it at all and have turned off wifi 3g the screen music and background apps and don't make any calls/txts expect as many as 18 hours.

I have a motorola moto g phone,why all of a sudden it will not hold a charge battery is not lasting 8hrs phone is only 2yrs old,

GO to a battery place and have them check the battery. Do you keep it on the charger most of the time? Some phones do not stop being charged while on the charger. Is the battery getting hot often when in use more than usually?

NO POWER

Hello, use the charger on another laptop and use another charge with your laptop. By so doing, you would now if its a charge fault or not. If its not a charger fault, it means the charging socket or the power board of the laptop is defective. You need to disassemble the laptop to get to the root of the problem. Regards.

I am using sony ericsson z550i it is not getting charge can u plzzz give me a solution

Dear,
first of all try cleaning the pins of your charger and mobile charging socket with petrol or kerosine oil.
then see if it works,
if still the problem persist, then their may be the fault in your charger or mobile charging socket. Or electric socket where you put your charger for charging!
try charging your mobile by putting your charger in different switch board, if still it wont work, then try charging your mobile with different charger, if your mobile is getting charge, then get sure that problem is in your charger,
its time to buy a new charger.
original charges cost=900
duplicate charges cost=100

regards!

My garmin charges with my computer but stopped charging in the car

The most obvious answer is a possible blown fuse in the cigarette lighter socket or the in the tip of the charger plug. Most charger plug fuses are accessed by unscrewing the metal tip. Check both for good fuses.

If this doesn't solve the problem, make sure the points of contact between the charger, cradle and GPS are all free of dirt and grime. Don't forget to vacuum the cigarette lighter socket - especially if it is used as a lighter, too.

Lg venus wont charge

Mine has the same problem!! it's definitly the phone I've tried 300 different chargers

mine has gotten so bad I have to hold it in place the whole time that it is charging

recently I made a contraption out of duct tape and a vice grip to hold the cord in the right place that it would keep charging

that worked for a while but now even that is unreliable

it sucks

I will never buy an LG Venus again

My solution : Get a new (completely different) phone

Charging problem nokia 1110

If the phone is not charging or charging is irregular, then problem is either battery , charger socket on phone, or charger itself.

If it does not charge at all, then it is either the battery or the charger.

If it does not hold charge then it is the battery.

If charging is erratical then it is either the charger connector/socket, or the ac charger.


The best thing to do is going to a phone shop, having the charger and the battery checked by the guys at the shop and replacing either the battery or the phone charger.
