Hi all,
Just purchased a new S5. Yes I know that its an older model, but the price was right! Purchased brand new in original box ect from reputable seller off ebay. Before taking it in to verizon today to get new sim card and plan change I made sure to charge it up fully. Everything went fine I think. Sim card placed and new data plan in full swing. Trying to charge phone tonight and the phones screen keeps flashing on and off while its charging. I spent some time googling for an answer (found a few on this forum) and have tried turning off all apps not needed, going to developer mode and making sure daydream is off as well as stay awake not selected. Tried battery doctor app as well as pulling battery out and putting it back after a few minutes. I am also using the original samsung charger and not an after market one. Screen going on and off so much phone not really charging. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated! Oh and I am totally a non techie chick so any answers in simple terms..lol... much appreciated. Thanks! If its helpful I believe it is running android version 6.0.1. Also, when I charged it the first time before going to verizon, it was turned off so I cant honestly say for sure that this issue wasnt present prior.
