AC Question
I've had a Galaxy Note Edge (based on the Note 4 form factor) for about a year now, working great. Until a couple days ago, when it started only charging if the power is off. Same result with multiple power adapters, multiple cables, and multiple charging sources (work, home, computer...).
When I plug a cable in and the phone is powered on, the lighting bolt does not appear to indicate a power source is connected. When I power the phone down and charge it, it "pulses" about every 30 seconds - the vibrate function on the phone buzzes briefly.
The phone does ultimately charge in a decent amount of time, but of course this is neither ideal nor is it functioning as designed.
As I mentioned previously, I have tried several cables and power adapters, and I have already taken a toothpick to clean out the port on the phone and bend the contact tabs out. No recent software or firmware updates to the phone.
