M2 Not Charging when Battery is Low

[MatP]

I recently took delivery of my M2 and am generally very pleased with it. However, I'm encountering a problem when the battery charge is low. It doesn't seem to take charge when I plug it in. It recognises that a charger is connected, as in tries to go into night mode and stops showing the "Connect your charger" message, but it doesn't actually CHARGE - no notification icon or light, battery keeps draining. Ultimately, the battery goes dead and the phone shuts down.Then, as "expected", it takes a few moments to show that it is charging, and eventually the light comes on and charge happens. This seems to only happen when the charge is low before I plug it in. If there is more than minimal charge, then it charges OK. It's a bit of a problem that I can't charge the phone when the charge is low.....

Any ideas?

Can you boot in safe mode and check if the same occcurs?

Also,have you tried different chargers?

I have tried other chargers as well as the official one supplied. I will look at safe mode next time this happens, though...

Didn't have a problem at all last night... I'll keep an eye on it, though, obviously.

It might have been an app acting up.

Had a similar problem: battery not charging, or very slowly, not a whole night would have charged higher than 5%. Tried to reboot, push combinaisons of buttons... Seems to have been solved by pressing the reset button under the cover (down for more than 10 seconds, not sure it matters).

I have a Weird issue with my Car Charger. I have to plug the charger into the phone first. Then into the Power(Cigarette) Port. Otherwise it wont charge. And when it happens, the blue LED stays lit on the charger after I unplug from the car. The only other charger I have, is the USB cable attached to my Tablet. Leave it charge overnight for the next day.

 I am thinking this is most likely the Car Charger. Possibly a Diode went bad.
