Confirm that the charger is fully seated in the socket (not loose). There have been instances (documented in other threads) of the contacts not fully engaging the factory socket, resulting in poor electrical connection.
Beyond that, I have no other ideas.
Sir!
I shall do that! Thank you for your input
I had issues with my phone discharging when it said it was charging. It can be a couple of things. The first thing I would suspect is the cable. (Yes it sounds crazy) But there are 2 different cables.
1. Standard micro USB data cable. All pins pass straight through the cable.
2. Android charging cable which shorts together the Data+ and Data- lines basically telling the charger it is "OK" to push more then the USB2.0 standard of 500mA.
Obviously if you are using the same cable in the car and on the bike then it isn't the cable.
Yep, that is likely the answer (you posted before I could). A modern smartphone with the display on bright and actively CPU loaded with radios on and active can pull more power at "low amp charge" than can be supplied through a data cable. So it ends up pulling from the battery, anyway. So it is technically "charging" but thinking it is connected to a computer, where it is only allowed to pull 1A and it can't keep up. With the correct cable, it can jump to the full 2A and can supply more power than the device can use (so some of it goes to the battery).
Common question on the Nexus 10 forum- since that tablet (with big screen and super-fast processors and a huge battery) will do the same thing (lose power while charging) when not using the "correct" cable or charger. And/or people will complain it is taking 8+ hours to charge the 9AH battery instead of the expected 4.5 hours.
Hello,
Thank you for your reply, I took two screenshots while on the charger. I have turn off the bike in between, it has shown different mA each time
If I am reading your posting correctly, you answered your own question.... you do know that when you turn off the bike, the accessory port is unpowered, right?
I had the same problem. I stuck a strip of velcro, the loop side, to the plug. The fact that is thick but giving keeps the plug tight in place. Looking at mounting a marine USB charging port on the left side.
