problem charging phone whit pc or car charger

[cesabas]

Guys I have a problem.
Recently, the phone is charging only using the original cable supplied.
If i use other cables (I have tried 3 4), which first went well, attacking the phone to computer now tells me that "the device is using more energy than he is given, not charging" or something similar.
The problem is that I was using in the car a retractable cable and the original was a bit of trouble. If you know for what could be the cause?

This because of usage some power eating application. As far as my experience I've used phone for data connection and as Wi-Fi modem. And if I'm charging through plug it's ok, buy in case of USB charging phone note me with a same alarm as you.

Another possible cause of this problem (I had the same issue) is the charging port on the phone itself has been bent so the charging cables dont sit inside there very well. Therefore a cheaper cable (3rd party cables that didnt come with your phone) might not get a very snug connection limiting the amount of power your phone recieves.

If youve dropped your phone while its been charging chances are thats what the issue is. If you look at your charging port on your phone you should be able to see if the metalic charge port has been bent and all it might take to resolve this is carefully bending the port back into shape (careful not to apply too much force as this is very risky, If you are not comfortable with this then please dont attempt as I am not responsible for any damages this is just 1 possible solution)

Also if you're charging by USB from your computer make sure its a USB port from the BACK of your pc as front ports are usually only USB 1.1 which does not provide much power at all. The ports in the back are USB 2.0 or if its a new computer it could even be USB 3.0. both which provide lots of juice to your phone.
