Device now loses charge while charging.Anyone else?

As of a few days ago i can no longer use the device while on the charger without losing charge....fast! (ive used the device while charging for the past 9mo).
Same on any kernel, any rom....any of the 3 Samsung batteries I have.
Any ideas?

Is the phone warming up or getting uncomfortably hot? The only thing i could think of is the battery has reched the end of its useful life..
===EDIT===
I was not able to read the last part that you said you tried 3 diff batteries.. LOL my bad..

Mostly it happens when you use incompatible charges (Not the original ones) which doesn't charge battery to its full voltage.
Replace it and check if its solved. If not you can calibrate battery or replace the battery.

Check battery status under settings and see if you have a file running "gpsd". A few times this bug would hit my phone using 63% and drain my battery while charging.
I would have it charge all night to disconnect in the morning and get a warning my battery us low.
To fix I would place my phone in airplane mode, turn off and turn back on, remove airplane mode and it would be back to normal.
Check to see if you have the bug.

Try to install betterbatterystats and check for any wakelocks on your phone. Wakelocks are dreaded battery juice killers. And I agree, turn off your phone at night and in the morning, check back on the BBS what process is working at the background (of your phone).

This problem is occurred to me also. all my devices are original.
this problem was found only when I used stock rom ics 4.0.4, but not found with custom rom as paranoid, cm9, cm10 etc.
try to flash custom rom, you will solve the problem.

Mine has allways done this, whether stock or custom rom. With orginall charger too. I put it down in my case due to being on skype. It also gets vvhot. This is with the original bat.also a samsung spare.

OK I had this problem before, and I solved it by changing charger and clean rom install, I think it is a mix of hardware and software issue, hardware as it is linked with no. Of pin in the charger, I think when the phone discharge while charging the phone see the cable as USB otg so it give it power, any way, change the charger and install any from with trying different kernels

[Q] New battery question

Can anyone suggest why my battery is discharging while still connected to the charger when the phone is on?
I just put a brand new, original Samsung battery in my GT-N7000. With the phone switched off, I charged it for about 12 hours until it showed 100%.
I then switched the phone on without disconnecting it from the charger (USB hub on my PC) and noticed the charge percentage gradually going down - 98, 95, 94, 93 ... etc. If I don't use the phone but just leave it switched on, the rate of discharge is slower. It's now at 90%.
Is it supposed to behave like this or does this suggest a faulty battery? I assumed that the phone would behave similar to a laptop - ie the battery would continue charging even if I'm using it.
Thanks in advance

EDIT
I just replaced the original (old) battery which had about 6% left in it and this is behaving the same. It's now down to 5% with the phone on charge but switched on.

Try to plug directly to your charger instead of a USB hub, it's most likely under powered. I dont think its got to do with some apps running on the background.

You were right on the nail! A dedicated charger worked fine.
Seems my powered USB hub wasn't working for some reason. I checked the power supply and there's 5.1 VDC coming out of it so I plugged it back into the hub, changed the phone over to a different USB port and generally fooled around and now it seems fine again. Dirty connection maybe.
Many thanks.

have you tried with different charger?

I wonder why try another charger?

I've had the same problem a year ago. I was able to fix the problem by pushing in the pins inside the charging port. However this only buys time. I was able to fix the problem completely by purchasing charging port from eBay with the same revision 1.0 ( in my case ). I was able to install the part in less than 10 minutes and the problem is solved

Had the same problem few days back I just inserted a small pin inside the charging port and bent the pin inside the charging port very little don't know will it help but worked for me just be careful don't apply too much pressure as it may damage the pin

Jesus i want to cry when Note users have this problem!. Its an USB port problem, not chargers, not software. You need to replace the whole USB Board (which is attached at the bottom of the motherboard). If you want a temporal solution turn off your phone, remove your battery and then clean your usb port with a thin brush and alcohol and leave it for 30 min. Then put your battery and charge your phone. Turn on and then unplug your cable, it should work fine for some time. Its a problem with the 75% of the Galaxy Notes in the world. Ive changed my port 2 times in only one year! I dont know why samsung did not put a slinding usb protector like some galaxy devices... sorry my bad english and good luck!

when I changed my usb port, I bought 2 in case. 2 usb ports cost me 18 dollars and change, shipped from China. took 2 weeks to arrive. must match the revision number which is written on the original board. mine was revision 1.0. took less than 10 minutes to install. problem solved.

maybe temporary but free

cured my phone of the same problem with a paint brush and proper contact cleaner ( NOT WD40 OR LIKE) in the usb charger hole.
stuff known technically as pocket fegg gets in and causes leakage across contacts. however, worst case is connector is damaged and needs replacing as above.

Get the port replaced.

I had a similar issue.
<drunkbabble>
My microusb car charger is constantly used by the many female microusb ports from my friends and hitchhikers.
So it had a loose contact with my phone now because the Galaxy Y 's were too tight.
And the it charges / not charges / charges ... at about 150 times a minute.
</drunkbabble>
In your case your port might have suffered or you have dirt at the contacts. Try blowing it out with canned air and look for any visual clues of damage.

Got this problem right now and its really annoying.
I nearly wanted to throw my phone at the wall because of the dumb low battery noise playing like 20000 times a second .
My Desire HD and crapberry also decided to break today too ffs .
Gonna send them off to get repaired in the morning, back to my good old reliable nokia 3310 in the mean time

i am having this issue for over a month now. i changed the battery too lately. was on CM 10.1 and thought it was a ROM issue but then i found it to be the same as i switched to stock ROM.
And it would be real helpful if anyone of you guys could let me know how much changing the usb port cost me.

Clean It With A Little Whisky :]
cotton, dip it in a little whisky and then clean the usb port with a help of a needle/pin... worked for me :]
*make sure your phone is turned off and the battery is out while you do this application*
try and clean your charger as well.. Cheers!

Charging port issue!
I had exactly the same issue on my Galaxy Note-1. and stumbled across this thread. It confirmed the suspicions I already had. So I got my charging port changed. The phone is back to normal!

[Q] charged,empty,charged, at nausem: can't run on battery anymore

My GT-N7000 yesterday developed this issue:
When I boot it (no USB cable to power it), the battery shows empty (grep battery icon, with a charging circle).
A second or so later, it switches to show a half-full battery, with charging dots below. and it vibrates for about a second.
Again, another second ro so later it goes back to showing an empty battery and the cycle continues.
If I attach a UCB charging cable, it boots fine, shows the battery as 100%
If I remove the charging cable, it loses power. When switched on again, this all starts over.
I saw this on ICS (4.0.4, stock, German) and there i also had the battery icon in normal more switching between
charging and blinking to not charging. I found a recommendation that upgrading might help, so I
did apply the JB update I had downloaded a few days ago, but this does happen
under JB too (OTA German 4.0.4, then flashed with Phil's-stock plus cwn6)
Is there anything can can be done? Is this a hardware issue or something that some form of total reset might cure?
As it is, I cannot use the phone w/o having it externally powered through my powerbank or car charger.
This happens with two batteries, so it's not the battery that is broken

I really think this one is battery problem as I have experienced the same thing..
are the batteries you tested New?
just my 2 cents.

No, I've had both a fow a while.
I may buy a third just to test but I fear I may have to get a replacement phone soon , sniff

Though I would suggest that you get a new set of batteries...they solved the problem for me.
While you are at it, please search the forum for another solution that worked for me- "cleaning the micro-usb slot"...its an easy process but needs to be done a little carefully.
either of the two would definitely work for you...speaking from experience!

Bro..i had the same problem..this morning,when the phone showed 100% in charged mode..as soon as i unplugged the charger..the charging %age goes down to 15% immedietly.. i went and bought a new charging port(only that usb charging port = very small),removed the old usb port and soldered the new usb port to the note..This works like charm..but this probably void the warranty ..so,if u want..its upto u..i wont recommend it but it works like charm for me

[Q] Battery doesn't charge up

Hi,
I have scoured through the forums and googled for many days, I was not able to find the definite answer to solve my problem. The problem appears to be that the battery doesn't charge up, however, many signs show otherwise, I would like to ask if anyone here knows which part of the phone actually does the battery voltage sensing.
Firstly, I have tried charging my phone while it is switched off, several hours of charging only yields 10+% of charge. Secondly, I tried changing the battery of the phone, makes no difference. All these was done with different USB chargers and different charging cables. Then, I tried rooting and unlocking it and flashing cyanogenmod, problem still exists. Lastly, I tried flashing the same firmware version once and then a different firmware, still does not solve the problem.
Some things that led me to believe that it might be the fault of the battery voltage sensing circuit component of the phone are that when the phone is in recovery mode, I can unplug the charging cable and the phone does not power down. However, when the phone boots normally into android, the battery indicator would appear as 0% and unplugging the cable would shut down the phone.
BTW, my phone's warranty is already up. Is there anyone that has the same problem or some solutions to this problem? Thank you in advance.
JM

What about calibrating your battery? Try using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583320

I dont think calibration is the problem since he fleshed CM and other roms and atill have battery problem.I think you should try to remove batery from device and charge it on separate charger.If that doesnt help you will need new battery.

Hi,
I have already bought a new battery but it still doesn't charge up. Would it be due to other hardware failures?

Well that is unfortunate but it appears so. except if you didn't do full system wipe before flashing other roms.Did you?

Have you tryed cleaning the charging port out mine was full of dirt and had same problem.

battery life
I turned the phone off took battery out and then used a needle and managed to get fluff and dirt out of the port which I didn't see until I shined a torch in. But you have to be carful not to damage anything. I also had a problem with my phone only charging to 92% that ended up been cause it wasnt a geniune lead. cheers and good luck
