AC Question

Galaxy S5 keeps charging on and off.

First, my phone stopped charging using the wall charger that came with the phone. I then tried using the charge cord to charge the phone from my laptop - which worked for a time. Now, very rarely does my computer charge the phone, and when it does, it charges on - then off. it will charge for a while then just stop.

I have purchased new "authentic" Galaxy S5 chargers, and tried multiple other charging cords so i KNOW it is not a cord issue. I have removed the battery and replaced it. I have cleared the cache by holding the power, home and volume key then selecting "clear cache".

My phone is about 7 months old. I believe that the problem began after the last update.

I am profoundly frustrated with this 700 dollar phone that wont charge no matter what i do...help!
 
Welcome to Android Central.

Are you sure that the USB port is clean and undamaged?

The update may be no more than coincidence.
