No....

this is what it says

Yes. I am having this same issue and I am using the original charger. What happens is, I plugin the phone and it says "Fast Charging", then about 2 seconds later it make the plugin sound again and switches to slow charging.

I've tried different charging cables and bricks with the same issue.

Had this start happening to mine, figured it might be the cord, but it also no longer works with my Gear VR either. My screen was cracked so I sent it in for repair, hoping it comes back working.

Usb connection acting up all weird

Last night, I connected my i9300 to my laptop using the samsung cable included. It worked for the past 2 months without any problems until now where it would connect, disconnect, connect, and disconnect in a never ending loop. I tried two other usb cables that I have and they were working flawlessly. So I immediately concluded that the cable was the culprit.
This morning, I brought the samsung cable to test it at work. I was expecting it not to work as well. To my surprise, it worked properly with my office computer.
So with these observations, which is the culprit? I don't understand. Please help, thanks.

first thing to try is to uninstall the samsung drivers. make sure you got internet, then reconnect your phone and they will autoinstall.

Did that already. I just didn't mention it in the OP because I don't see it significant as I already tried different cables.

ah yes, overlooked that part, my bad.
it could still be a faulty cable or dirty connectors. a few people have been complaining about charging, which were fixed by using another cable. it seems like the cable that came with the s3 is not very high quality.

or your cable could just be loose fitting with your home pc. try moving the connectors a bit...

I already tried to move the cable and that doesn't seem to be the problem. On all four usb ports, the problem is there.

It could still be symptoms of impending cable failure unless it can consistently connect to your work pc.
Did you mod or upgrade your sgs3 before this happened?

Well, as I've said it can connect consistently to my work pc using the samsung cable. Nope, it is simply rooted and still on ICS. I was using it without any usb cable problems for the last two months until now.

[Q] Not responding to USB cable/charger

Not sure what's up, but the phone won't charge at all. I've tried plugging it into several computers and different outlets. The phone was rooted using droidstyle's guide. Anyone else have a similar issue or might know what could have caused it?

Well if your plugging it in have you pulled the notification bar down and checked mtp or something so that it installs the drivers. Is it charging ok from a wall outlet?

Charges from the wall?
And a rather dumb question but
The laptop is on and not in standby? Or you are using a port that provides power in standby?

[Q] Anybody else having charging problems?

Mine won't charge at all, and I can't figure out why. Any ideas and I'd like to know if anyone else has this problem.

I've tried 3 cables, 2 plugs, and trying to plug into my computer. None will make it charge...
I had this problem before but it went away. The cables work on my s5 not broken cables
I have the same problem. My won't charge above 2%

USB cable does not work for data transfers (charges ok)

Just got the Nexus 9 a couple of days ago, charged it, but when I connected it to the computer, nothing, it's not detected at all. Tried both a Mac and Windows laptop.
I tried a different cable and it works fine with that, just not with the stock HTC cable.
What's going on here? Busted cable? I assume it's not a charge only cable, that wouldn't make much sense. Could it be that the cable doesn't like the USB3 ports?
are yo on modified kernel with fast charge enabled? if so, please disable it.

No, just stock rooted. As I said, other cables work fine, but not the stock HTC cable, so it is the cable, not the tablet or the computers/drivers, etc.
ahh I'm sorry i missed that. anyway, surely it was a faulty cable.

I'm more curious if anyone else has run into something similar, incompatibilities between a cable and a USB3 port.

Just in case you haven't tried this...When connected to your computer, tap on the USB notification on your Nexus. You will then get more options, one of which is "Transfer Files".

I know. It makes no difference, the tablet simply doesn't show up. As I said above, I know how to use other cables and they work And yes, not a fan that M defaults to charging only every time and have to manually put it in MTP mode.

No luck needed, just a different 99c cable
Just to bring closure to this thread, I contacted HTC and they finally sent me a replacement charger and cable even though I only asked for the cable (not because I didn't already have a pile of USB cables around but because I was curious whether there was something wrong with the HTC cable I received with my N9 or just an incompatibility). The new cable I received works fine for both data and charging. So the cable that came in the box was bad. But to my surprise the new charger I got also works much better, it chargers faster (I have a USB dongle that I can measure the charging current with). The original charger was capable to only charge the N9 but not other devices which I found weird.
So something went really wrong with the included charger and cable. How can it be that you have both a bad charger and cable in the same box? I can see one being bad, but both? Makes me wonder what I should expect from the tablet itself ... Doesn't look like quality is top priority at HTC, no wonder the company is not doing well at all.
