[Q] Battery Doesn't charge (shows empty battery with yellow exclamation mark) - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So it goes like this . .
When I woke up this morning my sgn was turned off (I assumed the battery has exhausted) though it was about 40-50% last night i checked last. I plugged in to charger n screen appeared with empty battery symbol with yellow exclamation mark, it it didn even charge.
This has happened to me once before, that time I had pulled out battery for couple of minutes & replaced n it worked, I cud charge as usual.
But this time around that's not working, i pulled out battery n kept it out for almost half hour but it didn't work.
I have searched a lot but couldn't find anything to work.
Okay, Im on stock GB.
Any help is appreciated !
Thanks

Does the message "battery disconnected" appear? If yes, i am afraid replugging the battery is the.only way.

I've had a similar experience, just once in over six months, and it was a flattened battery, caused I'm sure by some rogue app holding a wakelock or going nuts overnight. At first I thought it was fried, as there was no sign of life whatsoever, even when connecting the charger, but after a while it started to show a glimmer and the battery did then charge normally, but from dead flat it took around four hours with the stock AC charger. Just try giving it some time to heal.

Red LED when plugged in, NO LED unplugged. Will not turn on

Does this mean my battery is dead? I pulled it out of my briefcase this morning, and it wouldn't turn on. I plugged it in to the wall and it powered up and sync'ed up (at least my data is backed-up), I left it plugged in so it could charge and when I came back to it, it was dead, just a red LED on the right side, and thats it. I've removed the battery and reinserted, which didn't do anything. Do I need a new battery?
Thanks for any info,
Brock
HELP TOO
I am getting a similar thing and I bought it used about two nights ago. Mine occasionally turns on, but 'bombs' out again if used too long
your pocket pc out of battery, charge it again till full......
I too have started having this problem since the weekend! My phone constantly shows the red light whenever on charge with cradle or direct from wall!!!!
Help please!
the red light used to show that the battery are low, you got message or got miss call.... try to check all that first or try to soft reset once....
Thats the problem though, the battery has run flat and whenever I put it onto the cradle to recharge the red light just comes on. If I put the battery directly into the cradle the red light comes on the front of the cradle. This is happening with both of batteries.
Last time the battery on my phone went flat enough for the red light to come on it took 48 hours constant charging before it started to work again...
Maybe your phone has a short in the charging circuit, the battery or the part of the PCB where the battery connections meet the main circuit?
I had this problem with mine.
i left the battery out for about 24hrs..
then put battery back in and left phone to charge for 24hrs..
it then turned on and has been fine since
this things happened when the backup battery is completly dead or dischargd i used to have this problem but i opened the xda2i and recharge the backup battery "ofcourse i took it out "and it has no problem since only that the battery metter is working weird so the problem is that ur backup battery is completly discharge
how to fix this easier just let the xda in the craddle 24 hours with the main battery on it should work unless is blocked the u need to take the + from the backup battery out and put it back on after a few mins and that's it u got ur xda2i working again!!

Kaiser not charging

Hiya,
about an hour ago I plugged my nearly dead Kaiser to the standart charger and connected it using bluetooth to my notebook. I was very surprised to hear the "Batter is very low" sound a few minutes later. I checked the screen and noticed that the display read "Charging" no more. Blink - and it's stone dead. I replugged the charger and started the device again. Batter was at 1% and began charging. As soon as it hit 15% of battery life, it stopped charging again, although "Recharging state: Charging" status remained. I switched to USB charger to see if it makes any difference - and it did. It started discharging the battery! Now it's plugged back in the standart charger again and it reads 14% for several minutes now. It looks more like it's "holding it there" than charging.
I tried two different USB cabels, the "wall" charger (English is really not my native language, I don't know the proper word - sorry) and no luck.
Three or four soft resets, pulling out and returning the battery, nothing running in the background - just Phone, Data Connection and Internet Sharing. I'm using unmodified radio and Sleuth 3.0 ROM.
P.S. It looks to me that the battery is discharging much more faster than I was used to. As soon as I pull the charger out, the battery drops two or three percent.
Any ideas? I'm afraid my Kaiser / battery is dead.
EDIT: The battery is warm and I can see the "charging" icon in the kaiser's taskbar

About the charging LED, usually yellow, turned to red? Just to clarify better your situation for all members here.
When the charger is disconnected, it flashes green, when I plug in the charger, it turns orange.
No RED led. That is a very good thing.
Do you don't have any spare battery already or maybe a friend will have one?
Looks like a fault battery - are you using it since when?
I bought this Kaiser about a month ago, but it's not new. The previous owner bought it in November, last year. The battery was healthy until today.
This sounds like a battery issue to me also. These are classic signs of a dying battery. The good news is that the phone is still trying to charge it.
Just as an experiment I took out my battery and put it on a multimeter. At 94% charged (when I took it out) it showed 4.09 volts and 1240mAh. I've had my tilt for 3.5 months now.
Try a hard reset could fix a program gliche if you have one..but it does sound like you have a "croaking battery"
ME TOO--
Was tempted to start a new thread, but figured someone might still read this one.
Last night my Tilt was fine,
and today I noticed that it was incredibly warm/hot to touch. After being plugged in and charging normally for a while, I looked back and noticed that the charging icon was not displaying anymore--just the normal battery icon.
This began last night as well, whenever my battery would hit 100% it would stop displaying the charging icon and return to the battery icon. I would then unplug it and plug it back in and it would go back to normal.
As of right now, it goes back and forth between refusing to show me the charging icon and showing me the charging icon. The light is yellow/orange.
Does this probably mean my battery is dying? Even when the charge icon refuses to show up, when I plug in the charger the backlight switches to the external power profile level of brightness.
It really came out of nowhere. I'm hoping it's some fluke that came out of nowhere, or that some strange registry key that decides it's going to jack up my hardware temperature, drain my battery, and not want to be plugged in anymore got changed.
It's about 2 months old, and I'd be really disappointed if the battery was already croaking.
O wise sages of xda-dev, please enlighten me. The thing charges really slowly now.

SGS charging without charger plugged in

The other day I was in a hospital and my phone was next to the bed but the charger wire was tangled in the bed. So a nurse came up and rolled out the bed and the phone fell from quite high on the (hard) floor.
It still worked, screen wasn't cracked so I didn't think much of it.
But now, the phone can be charged with the charger. As soon as I unplug the charger there are 2 things that can happen:
1. The phone keeps saying it's charging. Other than that the phone is fully functional. Battery drain is much higher though, in 10 minutes I lose 7% battery.
2. The charging icon in the battery will flash on and off. When I switch off the screen, the lock-screen immediatly turns on and the text charging blinks, it's like someone is plugging in the charger and takes it out immediatly, battery drain is even higher when this occurs, I lose 50% within the hour, depending of what I'm doing.
Sometimes the problem is not there, the phone will function normally, but the problem will come back within 1 or 2 hours and usually when I plug in a charger and take it out later. Also, sometimes it seems the phone is not charging and the charge indicator will stay at a certain percentage but when I reboot the phone it it fully charged (according to the indicator).
First I thought it was an android problem. But when I switch off the phone the charging image appears as well and starts blinking, also the menu and back button flash on and off. It's also quite difficult to switch on the phone at this point and the battery image shows only the outline of the battery, not how much charge is in it.
So far I tried 2 other chargers, 2 other batteries (1 original Samsung and 1 after market). Rebooted the phone many times and left the battery out for an hour.
Anyone knows of what causes such a problem? Of course, the fall was the start of the problem. Could there be some pins bent in the usb socket of the phone?

I had a problem recently in which even though I kept my phone on charging (and it showed that it is charging), the battery percentage either remained same or it went down even though it was plugged in.. went to samsung and they said the usb port is damaged and they replaced it.. I think the same resolution will be for your problem
Mmm....makes sense. What does Samsung charge for that?

[Q] Help!! Battery issue with Xperia TL?

Hey everyone. I was hoping that somebody could help me out with an issue that has just happened..Every night i plug my xperia tl into a wall charger, and turn it off. then i usually turn it back on when i wake up in the morning. This morning however, my phone wouldnt turn on. I unplugged it, then tried turning it on but still no luck. I plugged the phone back in and it turned the screen on showing the batter had 0%. I waited a few minutes then turned it on, and it worked, but i had like 1% battery. Basically i had my phone off all night, plugged into a charger and i woke up and the battery was dead. I've tried restarting it thinking it was a battery calibration error and that it might reset it but it still had a dead battery. Also when i restart my phone it usually resets the battery usage chart but it wont reset. Also on the graph it shows a sudden drain of the battery. the battery was at like 30% then went right to 0%..anyone else have this issue? And could anyone tell me how to fix it?? Thanks!
Okay, a little but later i tried unplugging my phone and restarting it again. When i turned it back on i saw a spike in the battery. It jumped from 40% to 55%...then when i plugged it back in it went back down to 40%...is there something wrong with the batter calibration? I just cant figure it out..
Another possibility is that the battery is damaged. Despite the charger being off at the wall, there is still a residual current. Connecting anything to an off socket for has always carried a risk, it's how many fires start
The phone actually warns you of this, think about the green message that says also unplug your charger from the wall.
I hope I'm wrong and it is just calibration error. Good job it's a tl with removable battery.
Should be able to get sorted under warranty though if it's not unlocked just say it wouldn't turn on.

TL doesn't have a removable battery.
I am also having issues w/ my battery draining very quickly after little to no use. when i check the battery usage it says the ebay app is using most of the charge but I never even had it open (I FC it), and now its saying the screen is using 54% of the battery even though the screen was turned off. whats the deal?

[Q] xperia z battery jumping around

so it started yesterday. my phone randomly switched off dispite it being around 60%. it wouldnt swotch on so i hard reset it. when i got home i put it on charge while it was on. it was around 50%. i used it a bit while it was on charge, but it didnt show any indication of charging but it was keeping the percentage. i went to sleep and woke up and it said it was 14%, but then it immediately went to 0% and switched off. it was apparently charging all night. now ive used multiple chargers and different ports but it still wont charge and the percentage numbers keep jumping around. when i put it on chagr it usually goes from 9% to 14% immediately and then when i take it off it goes to 4% and switches off. theres no indication that its charging other than the lockscreen "charge your phone" isnt present. i looked at the battery info and it shows that the percentage has been jumping around all night. i dont know what to do, my phone is unuseable. what should i do?

It's probably hw problem. You can try with reflashing via Flashtool (if you can beacuse of battery drain), changing your battery (by yourself or in repair center) or in the worst case change your motherboard. If you still have warranty take it to repair center.
