[Q] Galaxy note not charging - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
First off, I have a non rooted, stock Galaxy note. It's not modded in any way.
The problem started occurring yesterday, all was just fine before. Since then, it won't charge no matter what USB cable or charger I use.
1) Phone on
- I plug the charger to the phone : nothing. The phone doesn't register being connected to the OEM wall-charger.
- I connect the phone using the OEM USB cable to my computer (tryed 3 different computers) : Nothing.
I also tried another charger and several USB cables : no luck.
2) Phone off
- I plug the charger / I connect my phone to a computer using USB cable : the phone boot up and doesn't charge the battery.
Any thought ?
Thx in advance.

Try using some compressed air to clean out the usb port on the Galaxy Note. I had a similar issue with an iPhone once and there ended up being a piece of lint stuck on 1 of the contacts which made it unable to charge. Could be the case with your phone. Other than that contact Samsung and see what they can do for you.

Thx for the advice.
I'll try that out and call over Samsung.

Try factory reset if that could help..

Update:
I tried a micro USB Host Cable (OTG Cable) and it's working fine : recognized and plugged in USB stick is working fine.
Also, I tried a factory reset after backuping my data. All went fine but sadly the problem is still there : no charging.

More update:
After two days, It started working again as if it never happened.
Still wondering what might have caused it

Might be the dust that settled on the battery pins and the contacts on your phone.. happens some times .. glad its back to work.. poor thing..

Happened to me too! It wouldn't charge until I turned off the phone. It worked after I cleaned the phone and usb cable's metal parts--sorry no correct jargon for this--with rubbing alcohol. Make sure there's no lint left from the cleaning.

Yup, had this. On charge with stock charger in the mains. Battery dropping fast, back (top) getting warm. I turned the screen off, left it for 5 mins. Looked again, it was 2% less!
Reboot fixed it.
There did not seem to be any rogue program using the CPU, but I now have a meter and a better logger to examine this if it occurs again. I assume the system got into a loop somewhere, although the phone was normally responsive.

Happening to my phone as well right now. I was worried that the battery is dying so I got a spare online. But it doesn't make sense that its charging and know that it is on one state and not the other.
I panicked so I replaced Rocket Rom with Cassie's. It's still doing this.
Have you guys checked if there is a weird smell from your battery? I thought that was something to look at but dont all batteries smell like that?

galaxy note is experiencing the same hardware problems as galaxy s2 phones. I am very pissed off at samsung. I bought a new galaxy note in dominican republic and after one month of delicate use the phone developed charging problems. Drive mode would start automatically or the phone would shut off all by itself and a battery removal reset would turn the phone on again. then finally, the phone would stay in charging mode even after the usb charge cable is removed. the phone would discharge quickly and then would not turn on. I finally gave the phone to repair dept at claro phone company. they would not fix it and are just showing me a middle finger. Now I guess, I would have to learn to change the charging port myself. After seeing galaxy s2 videos, I see many ribbon contacts would get corroded and need to be cleaned frequently. Many phones were just less than 2 months old and had so much corrosion on the contacts. this is bad design and I think the high current draw for a dual core phone of that huge screen size is causing all kinds of electrical corrosion on the contacts inside the phone. this sucks majorly as I loved the phone when I had it working fine. Now I think I have bought a problem with my saved cash. I will try to repair my own phone soon as I get it back from the repair dept.

My Galaxy Note is doing a similar thing. Not all the same symptoms, but a few similarities.
The other night, when the charger was plugged in the phone kept changing it's mind whether it was plugged in or not - probably every few seconds I was getting the chime it makes when you plug the phone in. I eventually managed to charge the phone by turning it off, removing the battery, replacing it, plugging the charger in, waiting for it to start charging, then turning it on.
Today my phone was trying to tell me it was charging when it wasn't even plugged in to anything!
As with the above post, my phone has been getting hot occasionally and the drive mode has started by itself a few times.
I've used three chargers and four cables.
I'll be taking it along to where I bought it from later on today.

Battery not charging
G Note Battery is not charging .. same problem as of 1st post.
Changed usb cables, chargers, thru PC, laptop, direct wall, cleaning etc
Every thing fails. one month old set ?

OMG, glad to know I'm not the only one. Bought a Galaxy Note from a brazilian network provider (VIVO) and after 1 week of usage I'm experiencing the same problems as you guys.
My phone will only charge when it is powered off and USB connection does not work anymore (even in download mode). Before the problem onset, I noticed some MTP connection and SD Card rescanning without connecting to the PC.
Did a factory reset and got no results. Downloaded Odin Mobile and flashed stock rom and the problem persists.
Has anyone found a fix or the cause for this?
Thanks!
Missing my old Galaxy S...

Strange! After a full night charge, now I can unplug and plug the battery and continue charging from where I stop without turning it off.
I can now get beeps when connecting to PC. It show MTP-Inicialization in the Note screen but I have no access to to Note partitions in Windoes Explorer.

Update: One more strange thing just happened now.
Went to college and left it charging. When I came back at night, tried to connect the Note to the PC and everything is working ok now.
What?!?! Now I'm confused. How can I send it to warranty now? I think I'll have to wait a couple more days.

issue as well
That is my 3rd galaxy note, first one screen cracked, second dont ask me why it was not modified at all but it was so sluggish and froxze all the time, my 3rd one it is rooted device and i have similar issue...I am thinking is it because i was charging it from my wife's htc one phone? I thought they would have the same pins...anyway it is doomed, i tried so many chargers and problem not solved

ok i can comfirm to everyone that i have fixed the problem by buying contact cleaner spray and sprayed inside the usb and beautiful all back to normal!

Nooo..
Have a charging problem as well :/ It detects the charging cable and shows the battery icon with the circle about to charge. But it just turns off before it starts charging, turns on shows the icon again, turns off, turns on, shows the battery icon and so on. I have tried with two different chargers. For me i looks like the voltage is too low? Maybe the battery needs a jumpstart? I'll just leave it in the charger and see what happens. Suggestions welcome
Edit: It's just two weeks old, damn it. Last night I used it untill the battery was empty. That is why I think the voltage is so low it doesnt accept charge.
Edit2: Fixed! Puh! I was right. Battery needed a higher mah to start the charging. Leaving the post as it is for future reference.

same problem here, however it charges from my laptop... how strange?

Reboots after I remove the batter

What the heck is going on?
I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with the ROM, because it did this with the factory ROM, Manila 2d and now WM6.5.
I turned the phone off, unplugged it, removed the battery. I put the battery back in, replace the cover and press the power button. Nothing happens. I plug the phone back in to the wall charger and put power, it turns on....for about 3 seconds then reboots and it would seem that it will do this for as long as I let it go. If I unplug the phone while this is going on, it will die.
The last time this happened, it took it about a day and a half to sort itself out. It almost seems like its a battery issue.
Any thoughts or ideas?
UPDATE!
I took the sim card out of the phone for a few seconds and the phone seems to be working now.... But its been up and running for about 20 minute now with no sings of acting up.

tried to charge the pda all night the light stayed orange and never turned green indicating full charge. tried hard reset and when it goes in to prepare rom it shuts off like dead battery. when i plug in the pda to charge battery and then turn on the phone it freezes on splash screen. if i turn on phone then plug in to charge it acts like i havn't pluged in charger. is it the pda or battery?
I am not 100% sure on this, but to me it sounds like the battery.. and that is a MUICH cheaper option to test out... unfortunatly you ahveto wait for shippng typicalyl unless you have a friend who has the same phone.. I got 2 backups and a stand alone charger now... The other option could be your USB port... I have not heard this specific problem with them.... but I am a PC tech and have seen very simmilar problems with laptops... Usually the first think to for is the power port... Just like out phone, if the device is not on a flat surface and such when it is plugging it, it tweaks the port and it eventualyl breaks... on laptops it is not uncommon that when plugged in, the LEF wil light up saying it is getting power to charge, but it enver charges the battery, and even sometimes can;t power up the full system.. .It sort of sounds like this is what you phone is doing as well.. .If that is the problem the stand alone charger would work (my son broke off his usb all together and now syncs via bluetooth and jsut changes batteries.. he has 3 himself as well) If you search online, you can usualyl find a kti with a battery or 2 and a charger/dockign station for under $20US total. Good luck!

tried bootloader and installed official att rom and never shut off. when it was finished with install same issues appeared. help
For anyone facing this issue I would not recommend wasting money on a new battery as this issue has been around with few users since the Kaiser "Tilt" first came out and I've never seen ANY reports that a new battery fixes this. People have bought new batteries, fully charged their battery from a docking station, tried their friends fully charged battery all with the same result. I had this power down issue a Looong time ago my first week in with the Kaiser and managed a fix and am using the same battery now. Although it seems the battery is not being fully charged it's important to leave it charging until you'd assume it's fully charged and get into bootloader mode and flash an official htc Tytn 2 rom. It should flash completely, and the fact that it does not die immediately as on normal boot indicates it is not the battery but the rom. It did take me the whole afternoon of Flashing, recharging and repeating before it finally kicked in. Also, from reading older posts, it seems most if not all users like myself fixed this by flashing the older official htc wm 6.0; worth a shot at least.

Yup, that is what I had to today (I hard reset, actually), with barely enough battery life to do this.
Then the bloody unit came up and was charging - amazing, really!
(Was using the official HTC 6.1 upgraded WindowsMobile OS)
here is my 2 cents....
I owned five Tilts, replaced four of them with warranty issues ... so i have faced this dilemma on at least two of them.
First see if the USB tongue is loose. To do this try to gently tap it with the stylus. If the tongue inside the USB port is loose then you will be facing rebooting and other issues and troubles in the future. The USB tongue gets used and jerked every time you connect your device to your PC or wired headset. If you are still under warranty and the USB connector tongue is loose I recommend returning the phone ( if you still can) and getting a replacement. There is no easy fix for a loose USB connection tongue as i have taken one apart and it is very difficult to repair or replace and very easy to mess it up further.
So, my advice to all Kaiser owners... be careful when plugging and unplugging your phones through the USB. Do it gently as the connectors are very fragile.
For those that have the above issues, I recommend using a separate battery charger tray, avoid plugging the USB as much as you can, and if you must, then administer extra care. The rebooting will stop if you plug the USB cable to the device and move it up and down a hair then holding steady. And most likely you will not get a full charge or even a partial charge. The biggest culprit to this problem is car chargers, and second, is inserting the stylus by mistake (when it is dark and hard to see) in the USB port instead of the Reset hole by accident.

[Q] Note keeps saying charging when not plugged in

Hi all,
I've noticed today out of nowhere, that my Galaxy Note keeps turning it's screen on due to being connected to a charger, when it hasn't. I've tried turning the phone off since it was seriously draining my battery, but it turns itself on and goes to the battery meter and then restarts again. The charging symbol appears when using the phone on and off, and I was just wondering what I could do to fix this?
I've tried flashing a new ROM incase but the problem is still there :/
Thanks in advance!
Try cleaning the contacts on your usb port.
Also your usb port could be damaged.
I have also a similar issue on my n7000 I replaced the port and its fine now Samsung ports from factory are crap

It also happened to me. I had to open up the Note and clean up the usb port to get rid of the problem.
Phone Charging when Not Plugged In - The Definitive Answer
Samsung Galaxy Note
I've had same problem as reported by many others with phone displaying charge icon when not plugged in. I've tried all the recommended solutions. Here's what I've found:
1. Not related to JellyBean update (it happened just after I updated but turns out to be coincidence)
2. Factory reset or flashing doesn't help (it's a hardware problem)
3. Clean out the USB port (there's all kinds of fluff, dirt, lost keys, foreign coins etc in there!) - don't use soapy water for this...
4. Bend the pins (gently) so that they are located in the centre of the port.
In my case it's the charging cradle I was using that was damaging the port. I'm using a flip-case on my phone which means the phone doesn't fit in the cradle properly and I was having to force it to sit on the connector. The pins had become bent and were shorting out against the edge of the port.
Replacing the port is painless, if you have any mechanical aptitude. Numerous youtube videos show how to change it.
Takes about 15 minutes. Just make sure you get the correct port. If you get the wrong one, you're signal will degrade
considerably
I had the same problem and I have managed to solve the problem by replacing the usb port. I bought the usb port from ebay but you must open up your note first to see which revision of usb port board you have inside the phone. I think it makes a difference so the revision number has to match with the old port.
Cleaning the port and straightening the pins helped for a few months but then the problem came back again. changing the old port for a new one solved the problem. I think their usb ports in galaxy phones are crap.

[Q] Charging problem

Hello everyone.
I have a really big problem with my Xiaomi Mi3w (Cancro) and i haven’t find a solution in months.
I have an issue with the battery(?) or with the micro usb connector, sometimes i can’t charge my battery, no matter what or how, i can’t in any way.
When i connect the phone to the wall charger it doesnt charge or it even drains the battery, even if it’s off, it happened that some times when i connect the phone to the charger at 20+% battery after some hours it’s at 10%.
When the phone behaves like this and i try to connect it to the pc it can’t seem to hold the connection for more than 3-4 seconds, it continuosly connects and disconnects and it’s impossible even to open it in explorer. Obviously it’s impossible to charge even in this way.
At first i thought that it could only be a hardware problem (faulty connector/charger/cable etc)
but the last time i had this issue (today) i discovered that i can keep the connection between pc and the phone using fastboot. When i use fastboot the phone doesn’t disconnects continuosly so i can say that in 99% it’s not a connector/cable problem.
Could it be a kernel bug? I know that the kernel it’s active even when the phone is off but in charge, this could explain the charging problem even if it’s off.
Another thing that i discovered is that when the phone is on the connection to the pc gets more stable if i turn off debug mode ( can keep the usb connection on for more than 30 secs but i can’t seem to charge it anyway).
Things that i tried to solve the problem:
-Change the charger (1st charger is xiaomi’s orignal/ 2nd it’s a sony with output 5V/850 mah/ 3rd is a lg 4.8V/1A/ 4th is a generic tablet charger which came with my acer iconia with 5V/2A) none of these solved the problem.
-Change the cable (used 10 and more different cables, every cable was tested with my other devices and all were working well with my moto G and acer iconia)
-Fastboot install of both stable and developer rom
-Clean fastboot install of both roms (formatting both systems earlier with cwm)
-Install via cwm of ivan 4.4 aosp and cyano 12 (both of these uses the same leaked kernel right?)
-Cleaning connector with a neddle, soft cloth and some alcohol
I’m not sure about this other point but the phone seem to get in this not charging state when the battery gets below 30% and i keep it uncharged overnight.
So i thought that i could also be a problem related to the governor used by the phone when gets to a low battery profile and specifically when this governor tells the phone to get in deep sleep.
(this could perhaps explain the problem of both cyano and ivans roms random reboots and the workaround using partial_wake_lock)
I hope that someone can help me to solve this problem because my device is useless now
Thanks in advance to everyone
i have the same problem with my MI3W. Sometimes i can charge it while smartphone is power off.
I tried with another battery. I am waiting for a new usb connector flex to check too.
Do you find any solution?

I think i might be having the same problem. My phone started acting weird at the exact same condition. The charging connection kept going on and off. Felt like hardware issue at first. Charged my phone somehow to full charge and reset it. Looks good now but still skeptical.
Fingers crossed.

Hi i resolved the problem some time ago, cleaning the connector with a very tiny needle, i didn't go very far the first time that i cleaned it, probably it's only dirt, try cleaning it yourself and see if it resolves the problem
going fine

Note 4 Battery Unable to Charge

Hello!
A little bit after I upgraded my micro-SD card, I started getting the message "unable to charge your device. make sure you are using a samsung-compatible battery and charger..." while using an OEM battery and charger. I haven't been able to charge my phone at all and have since tried another battery, wiping my phone, and of course trying other chargers. Anybody know what is going on? Thank you for your help!
Did you try removing your SD card? Sounds like that may be the culprit... Although odd.
Sent from my SM-N910T3 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
Before I noticed the battery wasn't charging, my phone started rebooting itself randomly and getting quite hot. Suspecting that it may be a corrupt SD card, I tried formatting it, replacing it, and removing it altogether. I'm waiting for a standalone charger to be delivered so I can get the battery level up but do you think maybe restoring with Kies could help?
Thank you!
You could try, but I don't think it will matter. About 2 months ago I was having a similar issue, phone was giving me the same error message. I think it happened after my battery went completely dead. I kept trying to charge it, and finally it charged. No issues since.

Ok, so I managed to charge the battery using a standalone charger and reflashed the phone back to stock using Samsung SmartSwitch. The phone charges intermittently but also reboots randomly...I have no idea what is going on.
Battery overheated message even it feels cool in hand
Have these strange issues:
Trying to charge my phone and I got this from the bottom screenshots.
I'm on stock 5.0.1. firmware, no root, one month old phone.
I tried everything including software reset / write firmware from ODIN, other battery, same results.
My last thought is send the phone to warranty
Even the messages worn me about battery overheated , touching with the hand I don't feel any heat.
Any idea? Thanks!
I have that issue right now. It looks like my phone got wet during Halloween and I tried to charge it. It got hot and I left overnight. In the morning it started giving me these messages. Batteries charge fine in wall chargers, but not in the phone itself. Even wireless charging produces the same message.

I pulled my case off and moved my battery around while plugged in since doing the same with the usb did nothing. I noticed it would switch from charging to the error message saying it could not charge. I then pulled the contacts out a little bit cause they were not all the same distance out. Put battery in phone and it charges.
I had this issue, which is quit disturbing... i have a trick to get it right as it worked for me... might work for you guys as well... Take your battery out and press power button for 30 sec min... Take a perfume... or siprit... pour it or spray it inside the charging port and let it dry... As it dries up you will not face the issue again... hope it helps... its the dust inside that creates problems.
Pouring anything into the charging port is probably the worst idea I have ever heard. How about first checking that the charger port connections are dirty or corroded. If it is turn the phone off before trying to clean it out. Circuit board cleaner is around 3 to 7 bucks a can and you get the version with zero residue. Or try a stick pin to gently clean it out? I've replaced a charger port on a note 3 and it was a piece of cake. I imagine the note 4 can't be too difficult.

I've had problems liken this before... from a dying battery. It is VERY frustrating. It first happened on my HTC Sensation, and it took months to figure it out. Buying a new battery has fixed charging issues, phone random reboots, phone dying even though 15 to 30% remaining, and bootloops. These were issues that have popped-up with many different phones, over the years - luckily I only buy phones with replaceable batteries - but my main and back-up batteries both went bad, this year! (BTW, it's easy to tell it's the battery when the issue only happens on one battery, and not on the other)
I recommend you buy OEM Samsung batteries on Amazon or eBay. If you use NFC, MAKE SURE your battery supports NFC - the cheapest ones don't.
Got the same issue.. My phone suddenly stopped charging and when i try to plug it again the charging icon wont show.. I left it charging again for 30min and had no luck.. then i saw this thread and got the idea..
I removed the battery, micro-sd card, stylus, phone sim and press the power button for 30 sec. (this will reset all energy stuck on the internal board.)
Then, I cleaned the usb port with a sticky note.. folded the sticky part just as it fits on the port and gently swipe it to get out the dust.. The dust makes a disturbing connection between the USB cable so it wont continue charging..
Returned the battery and all items then tried charging again. And it worked!! :victory:
Worth the try.. Good luck!
Got mine working by pulling micro usb half way out and back couple times
Before that i tried to clean port and 30s power button without battery but no changes.
Maybe dust still or something software glitch. Like day or two before installed Battery Charge Limit app and used gear vr. It gave some sort charge message and not even charging. Not sure does this nothing to do with the problem..
Update: Problem returned after battery change and after that i put some wd40/cleaned battery connectors and working again. Hopefully last..

note 5 - USB not recognised and it never fast charge

Hello I have a note 5 - SM-N920C on stock M 6.0.1
about two months the phone stop fast charging and doesn't get recognised by the pc
the thing I tried :-
* try different USB cables ( 2 came with the phone - 2 new once )
* factory rest ( twice with wpie chashe )
* change the charger
I wanted to test other stock Roms but I can't get it recognised by odin .
and I have 2 note 5 all the cables work fine on the other one .
​
I seem to have same issue here.
I have the Note 5 from tmo(SM-N920T)
Baseband - N920TUVU2DPD1
Stock - 6.0.1
You have the exact same issues i've had. I also had issues where when i would have the phone plugged in ( to the wall adapter ) and rebooted it, it would think its a media device like a computer where it could share files and stuff... Also take like 5 hours to charge from 20%
Here I'll make this fix SUPER EASY..
1. Download Package Disabler PRO - I dont think it has to be the pro version but i bought it a long time ago
2. Search for 'power'
3. Disable 'com.sec.app.TransmitPowerService''
4. Reboot
I would add screenshots but as i dont have 10 posts im unable to post screenshots or links to the app in the playstore.
The wife's phone started this Saturday after updating. Also, hers beeps and has the charging blue wave as if she plugged the cable in. While actually charging, it disconnects and starts charging constantly.
The beep and blue wave is normal. The charging and no charging sounds like a faulty cord that's not making good connection
The beep and blue wave happens when she is not plugged in. Phone just sitting there not being charged or touched. We thought at first it was a bad cable, but we've tried several. Even does it on the wireless pad. Therefore I'm not sure it's the port. I think it's software related.
Have you tried safe mode?
Just a warning safe mode reset my wall paper and logged me out of some apps.

Did try safe mode and a factory reset. Sprint store I brought it to tried several cables and another factory reset with no luck so they ordered her a replacement. They weren't too interested in figuring it out. In fact, 3 other people came in with various issues and were just given the number to make an insurance claim without even looking at the phone.
I disabled that apk abd it detects all my fast chargers as fast ones. Where it didn't. If i re-enable it it stops workin
might be hardware issue, Try Wireless charger and see if it charges fast. if it charges good with wireless charger then you have to change you CHARGING PORT.

Had the same exact issue on a refurbished unit . Old note didn't do it, but had to exchange it due to adhesive glue coming up in upper left corner. I did multiple resets and finally went with the option of fresh install as not to import back my apps. It hasn't replicated our issue in the last few hours. I am hoping that takes care of it.
Did you by chance get a random gear VR screen prompting you to download the app and what not? I did and read others had the same issue and only way to get this to stop is to download it and then create an account, reboot and viola it solved it.
Stuff is crazy, love the phone but have had more issues with it over even El cheapo phones....

I got similar problem... now after 10 days I just can not go with this.
my youtube problem.

My NOTE 5 is thinking that is charging all the time. It drives me crazy.
With the USB cable it charges 1 time out of 20 and on a random day. I had to charge it via wireless. It wakes up all the time and can not use UBS.
Strange part is, that I can use my USB micro stick with my root and custom ROM. But that is it. No ODIN, no tranfer files.......
Did everything except change the USB port (it is on it's way). ( that will be my last resort)
ANY THOUGHTS.
I have a feeling that water damage was somewhere in there. (been driving with my bike on a rainy day and it looks like it got a little wet in my upper front pocket.
mine recognises fast charge very randomly. before it happened rarely but now it never shows fast charging with the original cable. the only thing that helped me was ordering a third party cable and using the original ac plug. let me know if that helps to any of you guys!
Ugh. N920a mine started this in March after having it maybe 3months. I called att and told them to send me a new one the other day. Unit arrived this morning. My opinion is its a bad USB port. This imho is the weakest link in Samsung devices-- this POS antiquated USB crap.
The thing would cycle CHARGING -- DISCONNECT, over and over. Wiggling the cord would affect the condition. Fast charge happened 1 out of 20 attempts.
I'll let you know how long the new unit lasts-- my most recent purchase is a wireless charger because, as stated this ***t is bound to happen again.
Unbelievable. My phone was totally fu**d. Than I sad I will fix it my self, so I bought the USB board and waited to get it. In the mean time I used it as normally, just wireless charging and that's it.
But after two weeks, the phone was getting a little better, not fixed, but due to custom ROM and a few tweaks, it did not turn on itself all the time.
But after I played quite a few games, (hitman) the phone did heat up all the time, and that my friends FIXed my problem. NOW the phone works as before the moister get to it.
I have my NOTE 5 back, yee.
SO when you have moister problem - play games.
Hey guys,
I had this exact problem - no more fast charging, no USB OTG or recognized by computer after
upgrade to Marshmallow. Tried multiple cords, different computers (Mac, and Windows), etc.
I sent it in for repair to Samsung and they 'fixed' it and are in the process of shipping it back
I put 'fix' in quotes because the repair tracking says it was solved, but I haven't received it back yet to
test. It should be coming in tomorrow.
Quick charge and USB issues have been fixed! IF you're still under warranty, I'd highly recommend sending it in.
