No service while charging - HTC Droid DNA

Hello.
Recently I noticed that when I plug my phone in and let it sit and charge for the night my phone disconnects from the network and I lose all my service. This only happens when I charge it and it happens when the screen stays off for a couple of mins. Usually when I turn the screen on it will connect back. I'm wondering why it's doing this. I'm on viper dna and I use the oem charging cable and adapter provided with the phone by HTC. I running viper rom 1.3.3 the newest version if that matters.
If the screen stays on I don't lose service. For example right now it's plugged in and I still have service because I haven't shut the screen off for a couple of minutes.
Any help is appreciated thanks.

So I think I have fixed the problem. I switched to another charger and now it seems to have stopped the issue. So I switched back to the same as adapter and used a different data cable and now it's not doing it. So I'm thinking that the data cable is defective and I have already had that replaced once. If that's possible I'm not sure how a data cable can cause an issue like that but that's what appears to have been causing the problem.

Intermittently Unresponsive

I can't seem to find a thread here with my exact concern and if there is I apologize..
Sometimes if I connect the charger overnight and try to wake-up the phone it is unresponsive. Also, when this happens the charge light will stay on even with the cable unplugged as if its still charging. Sometimes if I wait long enough the lock screen will slowly appear and then it works, other times I'll have to pull the battery.. This can also happen if the phone is just sitting for 1-2 hours without me using it but mostly with the charger overnight.
Anyone else having these issues? Just a little more info, I am using the 2750 Extended battery which is the only one I've used from day one. The original battery has never been used in this phone. Could this be a battery issue? It has done this before and after the last OTA update...

Hmmmmm....that's odd

This happened to me as well for a while. I ended up having to reboot the phone which seemed to help for a bit. I always figured it was something lagging in the sense ui. If you end up with a solid answer, Id like to know as well.
Hmm , never had that happen or read any threads regarding it. Might have a bad phone if it's within the warranty get a new one.

This happened to me once but my phone was super hot when it happened..it eventually led me to factory resetting my phone and I haven't had it since.
I think I'm gonna try using the battery that came with the phone for awhile to look for a change. I'd rather warranty the extended battery than the phone.. If that doesn't work I'll factory reset it.
This is exactly why I haven't rooted yet, gotta get the perfect unit first while I'm still under warranty.

What cable were you using to charge it with?
I've had stuff like this happen with a few cheap cables, and occasionally with others. I've been told it is from well used cables breaking down on the inside or without good enough insulation.
Try a fresh or rarely used cable, after a fresh reboot. I ended up throwing a couple of old cables away and didn't have this problem again or anything similar until lately with a retractable cable I use.

I have used both the cable and adapter from this phone and the one I had for my old Incredible. Doesn't seem to matter and the Rezound cable is obviously pretty new. That's why I'm hoping it's a battery issue. I'll keep you guys posted...

Mine used to do that, it would also be somewhat unresponsive most noticable when doing the unlock pattern, it wouldn't make it all the way through the pattern like it thought I was lifting my finger, it did only do this when it was on the charger too. Then it just stopped doing it, I don't remember if it was when I rooted or if I changed chargers or what. Are you using the charger and cable that came with the phone? I may have been using my standalone battery chargers USB plug to charge when it was doing that. Has been about that long since it did it.
I use the charger and cable that came with the phone at work and my old Incredible charger and cable at home. Problem happens with both.
So it is not the extended battery. I installed the stock battery last night and it locked up again. Next stop, factory reset.

yup,. still doing it..
In case anyone happens upon this thread with the same concern.... A factory reset did correct the problem.. And now I can safely root!!
Curious, when I get a new device one of the first things I do is do a factory reset.
It has been the fix for a number of devices in the past that I just do it automatically now.
Verizon will still exchange your device regardless of root/unlock. As long as it's a manufacterer issue, and not a result of you blowing up your phone from oc, or installing custom software and bricking it.

wireless charging not working

i got the nokia wireless charger for xmas, it worked fine for a couple days now whenever i put the phone on the charger it wont charge unless i press down hard on the phone, but as soon as i let go it will stop charging. at first i thought it was the charger so i took my phone to verizon and tried it on the charger they have on display and same thing happend. any one ever heard of this? or got any tips? only thing i can think is charging it on the charger has warped the back since it gets hot, but thats just my opinion.
Could be a case or cover on your phone?
If you got ur phone hot enough to warp the back, you'd know it, lol.
I had a phone that was intermittently working on the wireless charger, and VZW replaced it promptly, no more trouble.

That would be a royal pain....I'm bootloader unlocked.
Wireless charging is considerably slower than charging via a wall outlet and maybe slightly slower than charging from PC via USB.
The closer the phone is to the pad, the stronger the charging should be. Putting large cases on the phone may possibly cause it to charge slower.
If its charging slower than the phone drains the battery you should make sure the phone makes as close contact to the pad as possible (thin or no case at all) and make sure you don't have overclocked settings or tons of apps that constantly run in the background. You might also consider leaving the screen brightness on automatic so when you charge it at night and the screen comes on it doesn't use full brightness.
Try these things and report back if the situation doesn't improve.
been using wireless charging since i got my DNA on my energizer. as soon as i got my new case (trident) it stopped working THAT night, no prior problems. I thought maybe the case was too thick. tried with my old Verizon TPU which worked fine and without a case, and now it wont stay charging for more than 5-10 minutes MAX, and usually not for more than half a minute... if i push down as well, generally it starts to charge. I really don't want to get a new replacement. I don't see how this feature could break as it did! i would only imagine it would just happen again..
i am glad i am not the only person who has ran into problems with the nokia pads, i tried the pillow and just the plate and it would never charge longer than 30 - 45 seconds, weird thing is that my lg pad charges fine.
i am using the energizer pad. I can only hope its the pad and not the phone! the nokia pad looks nice. hell i guess ill stop in a Verizon store and see if it works there! cant believe it would only last a month. even more odd is that it stopped working when i got my case. i wonder if having the case caused it? i went to sleep with it charging and it seemed fine, woke up to 22% charge. second night with case off the phone was dead when i woke up. previously my phone would be 100% ready to go and cooled off by the AM!
And again I wake up to my phone not being charged even though the charging light was on....seriously?
Random too...some nights it works. Some it doesn't...

I had charging stop last night on me, Took the phone off, put it back on and charged to 100 after that.
Had this happen to 2 DNA's! I think it has to do with the phone getting too hot which results in a hardware failure on the device itself. I honestly gave up on wireless charging.

[Q] Optimus G wont charge!

Hello,
So last night I was using my optimus g, the notification that my battery was too low came up, and the phone shut off. After that I went to charge my phone and the usual red light did not come up around the power button and the phone will not charge. There is no water damage or sudden incident that could have caused this to happen. AT&T will not replace the phone due to a small scratch on the front of the screen done a couple months ago. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get my phone to charge and turn on again??
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
have you tried to hold the power button down for like 10 seconds? try a different plug outlet and plug it in and see what happens
If you can't get it working then send it in to LG since AT&T won't help you.
Have you tried a different charger? Tried usb charging? Somewhere in this forum are instructions for removing the back case and battery. Two others had similar problems and removing the battery helped.

Yeah, I tried a lot of different chargers, USB charging and different outlets. I will have to try to remove the battery i guess. AT&T told me that I could not have LG repair it because it has a small crack in the bottom left that I made a couple months prior to this happening. Do you know how to get to the thread about removing the battery? I cant seem to find it =/
Anyone have any other ideas?
Here's the thread for accessing the battery btw.

If that doesn't do the trick then replacing the damaged portion of the phone and then claiming warranty would probably work, especially since it's already bricked and you don't have to worry too hard about it not turning on again after you reassemble it because again, it's already bricked probably a whole lot cheaper than buying a new one off contract.

The only problem is that the crack is on the front class screen, and I have heard that the screen is hard to replace
Before you open it up and go fiddling around on the inside, try these (in order):
1. Hold down your power button for at least 15 seconds.
2. Plug in your charger
3. (If that doesn't work) Use a different outlet/adapter.
4. If all else fails, try the 15 second power button thing and then connect it to your computer.
My Nook Tablet's display wouldn't work once and it took me the better part of a week to figure out that holding the power button down for 10+ seconds manually turns it off (I was a noob). (I then plugged it into my computer instead of the charger and it powered on!) A lot of people forget to try the simple things first...

Ok, let me rephrase that. A new one is $450. You can get a screen/digitizer for ~$85. I'm not a math whiz but to me the difficulty is worth saving that much cash.
download mode
it could be a software problem try going into download mode (holding vol down and power then plugging it in at the same time) it may take a couple trys but if you can get into that then it could possibly be a software issue maybe its a prob with bootloader if it is try useing some teenybins somthing similar happened to me i unlocked the bootloader and everthing got better post back if you can get into download mode
I too have started having problems charging this phone when it goes all the way down which it does fast usually listing android operating system or my screen as the main culprit....try booting to bl then recovery and clearing cache and dalvic....I use twrp recovery and there no battery stat wipe function but in rom toolbox pro there is although the merits of such is questionable.....I also used a battery calibration app recently and it seemed to help... I've also had to plug it up and just leave it for a while whether it's convenient or not it works....???
I've wondered about awesome kernel cleaning script... As well as some of the battery saving apps in conjunction with Eco mode and power saver function.... I've used juice defender ultimate for a while and recently battery guru from Qualcomm and Antutu but same crash today leaving phone down 2 hours plus easily not to mention getting stuck in power save popup warning viscious cycle of popping up every keystroke is gonna get this device slammed up against a wall and I don't want to replace it but any help on this also appreciated....

My phone was charging while I was sleeping, and I accidentaly putted my hand on my phone while I was sleeping, and the phone was seriusly hot! I got up, upluged the phone from the charger, let it cooldown, plug it in on another charger, the phone responded in the first place, but the red flashing light was coming up really quickly. I switched it of and on and now it is showing me the battery that is shown when the device is charging. Been doing this charge for like an hour or more, with varius attempts to switch it on but it still it wont switch on! Any tips or anything? I am going to leave it charging for a coupe of hours and see if I have any results...
My phone started having issues where it would randomly shut off and sometimes holding power for approx 20 seconds or so would turn it back on or other button combinations sometimes requiring me to force download mode. I have always been able to force it back on however previously when plugged into a charger the notification light wouldn't do anything.
It shut off yesterday and I have tried every combination of buttons for at least 30 seconds, including trying to force download mode with volume up and down and USB into computer and nothing. The difference this time every time I plug it in the notification light either is solid or pulsing rapidly and will not turn on or go to download mode.
Phone is rooted running paulicats aosp and has been since I got the phone 3 months ago, it was dropped in water the week I got the phone but was disassembled and cleaned that day with no issues until this last week.

Charger port acting weird

so the other day I tried to plug my phone in to charge it but instead of charging the phone told me to use the proper charger. it wasnt the original charger but one I had used plenty of times before.. so I tried me car charger (from Verizon for the DNA) and still nothing. I rebooted the phone and tried again and it worked so i stopped worrying about it. that was a couple days ago and I had the problem a few more times since then. Now if I plug it in it either does nothing or goes into car mode.. and still wont charge.
This seems like a hardware issue to me but I was just checking if anyone had any input..
for the record I am Rooted and on ViperDNA with S-Off... and I did not flash anything anytime around when it stopped working.
Try using the oem charger.

I have. sorry I should have mentioned that in my post.
The non-oem charger I had used is an extra one I keep at work. I have the same problem with the OEM one I have at home. It doesn't seem to matter what charger I use (OEM, non-OEM, Car) the only thing I haven't tried is a wireless charging pad but I don't have one.
From what I can tell the phone seems to think it is being plugged into a dock anytime I plug my charger in but it is kind of "intermittent" it will sometimes just switch over to dock mode without me even touching it.. and when it does it stops charging.

Hi..first try removing the battery from the phone for about 10 secs and put it back in and see if that will help, because the battery should still be in a charging state even if the battery was not that good as this has happened to me on other samsung phones, and if not better re-install the rom you have, but make a backup first if you can..worth a try before proceeding further.

Oh okay I didn't know you could not get into the rom or past that battery icon..then most likely a port problem forsure..did you try another usb cable to just make sure.
Edit: when you have your usb cable unplugged from the phone it should still boot into your rom as the port has nothing to do with that part..what does it show on your screen when you boot the phone without the usb connected.

This happened to me last month on my 10 months old Mega. It was driving me crazy. Phone was charging just 10% / hour (as opposed to 60%). I tried charging with other chargers but result wasn't different.
After much research I came to know that my phone did not have any of the following problems
- ROM (stock 4.2.2), my phone was going into good deep sleep etc.
- Some app (I factory reset my phone to rule that out)
- My charger (I used others')
- My USB port (I always use wall charger)
The problem was with the freaking charger cable (weird right?). I took my friend's charging cable and used with original charger and my phone was back on track.
I still have to buy a new cable. Just researching to get a good one (weird again).
I found the Mega does tend to get hot sometimes where the battery is. I think it's faulty connectors. One of mine looks a bit discolored. But who knows.

Okay, so I just this moment joined the forum JUST so I could thank Member hopsin444 for this advice. Just as he guaranteed, it was the charging port. After getting his advice, I downloaded the PDF User Manual for the Galaxy Mega (my phone). I did what another member suggested and unplugged the battery for 10 minutes (just to be safe). I plugged it back in, and used the brand new charger and cable that came with my phone. I had been using a different charger, so I wanted to get a brand new clean start. Sure enough, the battery started charging immediately, good as new. I must say that in order for this method to work, you must insure that all components are in working order: battery, charger, and cable connectors. Because, otherwise, it's hard to debug exactly which little part is the culprit for the problem.
Once again, thank you ever so much hospsin444. You saved me a lot of cash, trips to the repair shop, and untold headaches.`
Update: The phone charge from 66% to 70% and then stopped charging again. I'm thinking it's the little slot -- on the phone itself -- that the charger cable plugs into that is the problem. My only option now is to take the phone to get repaired. But my thanks to hopsin still applies. It was fun while it lasted.

Your not the only one, this just happened to my Mega at the end of July and i replaced the port just the other week and still nothing. Only way it charges is if it was off...i cant charge it while its on, the battery depletes itself and on top of that i can't even use my portable battery to charge this phone. The cable has to only be a Samsung issued cable and that doesn't even make anything better. I'm just going to officially retire this phone and get me another phone

I figured out two other reasons why my phone was charging poorly even when I replaced the USB port 1. The charger wire was weak (yes it is a Samsung USB wire) and needed to be replaced. I wasn't getting enough power from the outlet to the phone and it would stay at a percentage for 30 minutes or longer and 2. There was a Low Battery Dump setting that was off (similar setting like the SGS3 and SGS4)
But one thing that now gets me is why I can't use my portable battery to charge anymore? Nothing is wrong with the battery (it charges all of my other electronics with no problem)

Could I try to cover it with a towel then put it in a bag ant it in the freezer for 12 hours and take it out and let it reach room temp
I'm having the same exact problem, did you figure out what the problem was?
sometimes change the plugin charger can resolve the problem, but if you have change the plugin and still can not charge like mine maybe
using charger 0.7A can resolve the charging problem, very slow charging . OR using 2.1A charger but try and error until found the perfect one. (it works on my mega LTE)
Me too, having charging problem with my Mega 6.3 i527m. : (
I had used different chargers, cables and batteries, still the problem of not charging was unsolved.
But when the original usb cable and Samsung's proprietary 2A Traveler's charger that came with my old Samsung Tab 7.7 were used, my Mega detected it immediately and the grey battery icon flashed off and on faster than before - a good sign it was charging.
So, that means my charging port/flex is not defective.
Lesson Learned: It pays to use the original accessories that came with your device or gadget!
