Yes I had this problem. I pulled out battery for about minute, then it disappeared for few hours. When it happened again, few restarts helped and from that time everything goes well again. No problems so far.

Common Issue with the Charging Port.
Try blowing in it and cleaning it.

What's the best way to clean it?

You should get a small piece of cotton and wet it a bit then clean the usb port then w8 for the port to dry after that try charging .

I had this problem with my Note that I preordered. I send it to Samsung and they changed à piece ("platine de chargement" in french) seems it was a common problem on the 1sts Notes.
(my Note was rooted and have à custom rom but the waranty works anyway)

This problem has been discussed many times and in many threads. just take out the battery and push the charging pins inside the phone usb port, straight in the phone. this means you push the charging pins of the charging port on the phone to the back of the phone.I also cut open a bigger hole in my phone Cover where the usb cable contects to the usb port. it seems the hole was not big enough and my usb cable was forced to connect at an angle. my problems went away and I never had the same problem. again.

Hardware or software issue?

I've had the Note since February and its rooted but running stock. A couple days ago I took the phone off the charger and the notification of the battery saying it was charges was still showing. I have tried taking out the battery and rebooting but it's still there. Ever sense then my battery life hasn't been the greatest.I haven't tried a master reset though or getting a new battery. Any ideas what it could be? If this is the wrong section mods please move it. Thanks.

Sorry but it sounds to me like you need a new battery... You may even run the risk of damaging your phone, if you keep using the same battery...
Ps. thats a gut feeling only... I am not a engineer

Clean your usb port with some alcohol, take out your battrey for 5 minutes, insert your battrey and your note is good to go..Ifproblem comes back again try changing your charger

Or probably try to wipe battery stats in the cwm recovery.

Alright I will try and clean it this afternoon. I sure hope its something small. I'm fine buying another battery if its that also. So some people have had this happen before? Could it be because I'm using a converter for the wall plug in?

I will try wiping the stats, that's an option I've never heard of.
Sent from my Factory Unlocked iPhone 4 using Tapatalk
no its because of moisture and dust collected on the usb connectors
Alright I'll try cleaning the port, and maybe changing the charger. I'll see what happens.

My brother doesn't wanna clean he is afraid of water damage. So I just took out the battery and trying a different charger.

That's an idea, well the phone no longer is showing the 100% charged indicator. The phone was completely dead and its now showing 50% charged. I am using a new charger now. Do you think it could be the battery?
Sent from my Factory Unlocked iPhone 4 using Tapatalk
so when u plug in the charger its showing charging and when u remove the charger?
It stops charging which is a good sign, I hope! But it stays at 50% so was it really dead to begin with?
Sent from my Factory Unlocked iPhone 4 using Tapatalk
Use the phone till it goes till 5 %and then change again.
So don't charge up to 100% then drain?
Sent from my Factory Unlocked iPhone 4 using Tapatalk
no for now.. drain and charge again
Alright I will do that. What if it dies or the battery decreases in an hour or so like its been doing? Is it the battery then?
Sent from my Factory Unlocked iPhone 4 using Tapatalk
u will be using it for a while right.. keep a watch on the battery... if its reducing too rapidly.. then u will come to know..

Weird battery problem.

Hi, since yesterday night (I always charge my phone at night) I experienced a weird battery issue. When I plugged off the charger the battery looked like it was still charging. I went in settings > system info > status and it showed "Charging (AC)" then "Not charging" (this two messages kept switching for 10 minutes or more). I also looked to mAh and it was like 5000+ mAh. My battery is the original Samsung 3.7V 2500mAh. I get this problem with both original AC charger and pc USB cable.
Yeah, I also tried wiping battery stats following the steps.
try cleaning the usb port.
I don't want to damage it.. how can I clean it safely?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
remove the battery .. use a toothpik, clean cloth, pressurized air may help too.. nothing to be done forcefully.. u wont damage it.
Will try when I'll be at home. Thanks for your help mate.

Cleaned the USB port using a toothpik and pressurized air but still getting that problem.
In the image (sorry for italian language) it says overvoltage after a few seconds I plugged off the charger.
Add: My phone was plugged off, but in the stats tab it said that my phone was plugged in with AC.
so does it say changing even when the charger is not in?
Yes

This morning my battery looked like this. (Attached)
It was unplugged.

Update: today I tried my friend's battery and it didn't give any problems, so I think my battery is damaged.
I'm still wondering how (and why) could this happen.

Dock / Car mode turning on and off

Hey guys im using crashes final 4.1.2 rom and for the past week i have notice that car mode turns on and off again. its becoming annoying. i cant find out how to turn this off at all.
I have used this ROM for 2 months with no issues until now.
Any ideas?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Its possibly a hardware fault, I had a similar problem with my old HTC hd2 where the USB connection became corrupted and forced the phone into thinking it was getting docked. That's my view but hopefully its a software thing and you can easily sort it.

its happening when its not plugged in as well.. it just took 20 minutes to type this cause it keeps doing it lol

I had the exact same problem. Car dock mode randomly activated and deactivated with no user input.
The problem was a faulty USB the on the phone that was fixed when I sent it to service.
try cleaning the USB port first.. (remove battery) use a clean cloth , little alcohol, a small toothpick (gentle)

Repair it with Sony Update Service.
Updated 4 days back
Build no 10.1.1.A.1.253

Try a factory reset. But before that check if rebooting solves the problem. I had a display issue which was fixed by a reboot.

not telling you to update, "repair it"
Using different chargers is the cause.
Use the stock charger with stock cable.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
I have the same issue, and I don't use the stick charger, I imagine the problematic chargers aren't correctly grounded or have some EMI or ESD issues. I haven't tried the stock charger yet to see if it solves it.
Poor move on Sony's part though not making the phone able to handle a poor quality power source correctly.

before i used to charge using the car charger. at my cousins place i used a htc charger for 4-5 days.
from later on im using the stock charger itself..
did i restart .. no use..
same issue... i selected show touch from development options..
im able to see the responses.. this occurs only sometimes , may be every 7/10.
just a single touch and the whole line gets multi touched.
for ex- i try to type "hie" , i get something like "ghjuioert" some times even bigger messages.
no difference even after a rebot.
should try factory reset. (long process backup download etc ).
any other options ?..
im using the stock charger...
tell me how to repair it...
With pc companion or sony update service.

Hi dude !
I remember to have this problem on my Xperia Neo.
While charging the touchscreen was unresponsive like touching on one side was like touching on the other side, apps opening randomly, lots of bugs. But didn't happened always, only sometimes.
I never figured out what could be and I don't use it anymore.
Maybe you have a faulty unit

Galaxy Note won't turn on. Weird behaiviour.

Hi,
I have a Galaxy Note GT-N7000. It was working properly until some day it did not turned on.
When the phone is unplugged form the USB port the phone does nothing, no power, no Download mode, nothing. Even thou I fully charged the battery with an external battery charger... You press power button and nothing shows.
When I plug the USB charger the one sign of life I get is the battery charging icon (image attached)... which shows and then goes blank every 10 seconds. That's all I can get from the phone...
I checked other posts and they say it might be a broken USB port, So i disassembled the phone and removed the USB port flex to check if it might be short circuiting the board; but no luck. When I remove the USB port the phone does nothing.
Any ideas? Could it be the phone has a broken USB port and that the phone can't power without usb port?
I think that you have a full brick. Did you flashed a FW before?

Nope. No flash.
Do you think its a software issue or a hardware one?

I cant say it to 100% beacuse I am not an expert but it looks like a software defekt, and you wrote that you loaded your battery at an external station so your phone must reboot (cause your battery is full) but it doesnt. I think that your completely system is deleted and if you cant switch to recovery or download mode have you an big problem.

Your not getting an emmc hardbrick unless you flashed something in a silly fashion at some point more likely recently than not.
Did you try a different battery or not?
From a cursory review the first thing to try is a new battery and or new cable.
I am not sold yet that this is an issue with the main board or the DC in board.
+1 for new battery.

Jackpot. The battery was broken. Switched battery and phone turned on right away.
The battery was not swollen or anything, just not working properly.
Thank you all for the help.

The batteries have very short life span and very sudden extreme behaviours when they're at the end of their life. Glad you got it sorted.
