[Solved[Battery draining while plug in! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello again.
I'm having a problem with my HTC evo 3d. My phone discharging while is plugin to an ac adapter or while is on my charging PC port!. This only happens when I'm using the wifi hotspot or USB tethering and Bluetooth tethering option.
My USB sync cable is branew since the i though the issue was my old sync cable but that wasn't the problem. I guess my phone using more power than what the ac and port are giving to the phone. I have to stop tethering and use the fast charger option to go back and re-use tether. But I kinda getting tired of pausing Netflix and sometimes downloads just to let the phone charge. What can I do on this situation that I have on my hands.
Thanks in advance.
[Solved]
I used the voltage control app from the market it fixed the issue and now I can use the phone and tethering at the same time without the phone discharging....

[Q] Optimus Hub WiFi or BT Root Possible?

Last month I bought an LG Optimus Hub and I have several problems. The first is that the USB port doesn't seem to work. When I plug in the USB cable (any cable) it starts charging but when I remove it, the phone thinks the cable is still plugged and charging all the time. It's the same with the data cable and any charge cable (sans data pins). The phone also would not recognize the data cable plugged, nor does the PC. I know the port does not work but this might still a sw problem. Is there a way to root the phone via WiFi or Bluetooth? If I can do that, I won't mind if the USB port does not work. Else I'll take it to tech repair -and I'm scared of those guys as hell! They don't know anything and keep sending back the same phone with the same problem saying it's either "repaired" or "mobo changed".

[Q] Charging Issue - MHL/HDMI Adapter Samsung s3 lte

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone had any insights in to this problem I have been having.
Briefly, I have the 4g lte verion on EE's new network. I purchased the official MHL/HDMI adapter which works fine and the video is outputed to my sammy 50inch tv fine. The issue I have is the battery drains while doing so. I belive this may to due to the phone outputting more than it is drawing from the power source. Any thoughts ?
I spoke with Samsung tech and they said a number of people have started to report this issue and they are currently testing/investigating. If this is indeed the case seems a pointless acessory as a long video would possibly drain the whole battery, Im yet to test the full drain time.
Secondly, with a 3rd party docking cradle with spare battery slot which purchased from amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/eLifeStore®-Samsung-Desktop-Charger-Docking/dp/B008PPRGFY) also does not charge phone properly. Even with the orignial charger in the ac port (or usb port) . The phone reports as charging but stays the same or decreases. Charged directly from the socket it is fine. Strange!
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ian
It's common. Mine did that too! I switched to my old S2 charger, problem solved
Thanks Ill try that out, any idea why that works ?

No idea man? A design fault maybe? All I know is that my phone took for f#*%ing ever to charge with the USB type wall charger. I pulled it out of the socket and plugged my other other one in that was sitting right next to it and it started charging? Checked a few minutes later and it had climbed considerably so I pulled the USB cable out of the new plug and kicked it under the bed where it now lays resting not to be used again LOL.
USB plug/cord works perfectly fine? So I use it on the computer. My laptop even charges the phone via the USB cable faster than the socket plug (which is usually the opposite - as I am sure we are all aware). So yeah I would say poor design or defective wall plug or both or something? Wasn't going to send my phone back because of it. 2second decision problem solved Samsung phone is great!
Im having exactly the same problem.
I have an s3 on orange and have the same mhl adapter conected to my tv.
I have tried the charger from my s3 which does says its charging when I connect my phone but only for about a minute so I also tried using the charger from my s2 and that just does exactly the same.
An easier way is to buy the official allshare dongle for your hdtv then you can stream anything from your phones screen direct to your tv and can have the phone on charge via pc or wall socket at the same time,
Hope this helps
i suggest you throw away your original charger (slow charge) and its usb cable (loose - actually caused the extsd to become damaged to the point i had to repartition) and buy yourself a cheap usb cable for data (£2) and a 3rd party charger (pref not a usb adapter one - £5) and all should be fine!
I still experienced a small battery drain while using the mhl adapter, however, i froze a few apps with titianuim (ones i know run all the time like utter and tasker, paragon ntfs, easy ums, directory bind etc), and put it on min brightness - works like a charm. I know its a effort freezing apps but does the trick with my phone... Since finding that out i actually keep paragon & easy ums frozen till i need them...
just a few thoughts for you....

USB or Bluetooth - which one eats more battery life?

Hey Guys!
I wanted to know which one will eat more and quicker battery life:
1.wired usb controller
or
2.bluetooth controller
android version: 4.3
thanks for your answers!
Hey sorry to be such a bummer but which app are you using to use ur phone as a controller. My opinion on your question is that bluetooth wd logically thinking here, bluetooth wd use more power. As a usb cable plugged in your phone wd or shd be charging at the same time. If u finding it difficult to tell maybe the usb port is not pushing out sufficient charge power. I wd then maybe plug into a normal phone charger and use bluetooth. I find if I use a bluetooth controller eg androg I put my phone in flight mode and then turn bluetooth on and my battery lasts longer because the phone is not continously searching for network when signal is low. But via usb ur shd be charging and via bluetooth no wires connected ur obviously using power. And wireless devices that communicate with each other tend to use power at a faster rate. If using as game controller over bluetooth maybe disable the vibrate function if it has one. Thats my personal opinion so if u dont mind cables then usb the phone... I dont mind bt via my s3 its convenient and its not like im gna play nonstop for hours on end. But id rather have a charged ohone shd I nd to up and leave all of a sudden... best of luck... whats the usb controller app?

I dun think usb wired controller chargers ur phone... Like if u plug an external hard disk to ur phone thru a converter plug, the external hard disk will not charge ur fone.

Keep Android and 3G Dongle always ON

Hello guys I'm looking for a way to leave the 3G modem always on, even when the car is turned off.
any way to do this only in the software settings?
I really don't care to leave the android turned on in a fully standby mode.
The energy the appliance spends is much Less than the size of the battery in my car.
I'm using newest Malakya Rom. And the 3G dongle is connected in the 3G/USB Cable.
I don't want to make hardware modifications.
Thanks!!!
Justo to note. I stop, and leave my car many many many times in a regular day. And the 3G dongle takes about 1 minute to get Internet signal, so I can finally, get routes using Waze. Keep stopped in a car during 1 minute is not really safe here at Brazil.
I don't know about the 3G dongle. but the way I have mine setup the stereo stays on all the time. I have my accessory cable pluged in with the power cable. I have to manually turn the stereo on and off every time I get off the car but it's starts right away. and with an offline GPS app you don't have to wait for the internet connection.
Get a powered usb hub.
Use that between your stereo usb and the 3g dongle.
All you have to do is use a 12v usb car charger connected to your constant 12v then connect the 5v output to the usb hub.
That way when the stereo can receive data but the stereo isn't powering the usb hub or the 3g dongle.
But i have indicator light but dongle dont work. I have no connection. Its Huawei dongle btw
I have the problem that the dongle 3g not always connects on radio start. often I have to reboot the device. its a huawei too...

hi exonerare,
any news about your issue?
i have gltches in my RN3, dont know what to do about it.
before that i had freezes and reboots, but now only glitches.
in my case not involved in connecting it to the car radio.
Use a different and a Good quality usb cable and a charger...like a Samsung Charger or something,dont use cheap ones.
For me,stock charger works perfectly but when i use cheap charger, the glitch happens.
It usually happens due to this.

The connection between usb port of charger and the usb end of the wire, and between microusb port of device and microusb end of the wire....any one of that is causing troubles.
This is completely normal to FACE DURING charging..
But if u aren't connected to charger,then that's strange.
Try reflashing the whole miui fw via edl,
if that doesnt solve the issue, then probably it's something related to hardware, head on to service center then.....
