Weird battery problem. - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

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

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.

Charging / battery problem

Hi,
Has anyone has a similar problem and managed to fix it? -
My phone keeps saying is charging when not and the battery icon keeps changing from charging to not then for a second disappears?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
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.

Phone Acting weirdly - Flickering, Battery issues, Random Restart

I keep shifting from rom to rom but never had a problem. Recently after I shifted to Utacka's PA I have been having issues with the phone. Sometimes the battery charge drops to zero suddenly. Sometimes the phone screen flickers with bands across the screen and sometimes it just restarts on it's own. Even after shifting to Alliance's JB i get the similar issues. PLEASE HELP
Pullout the battery, is it bloated? Download betterbatterystats and check for what's using the battery most at these times, first place to start in guess.

The battery is a little fatter in the centre. I just hope its a battery issue and not some corrupt motherboard..

Does your phone think its charging even when not plugged in. If so it's your USB charge flex board. It would show as battery plummeting to zero charge indicator flashing on off and in settings about phone status it would switch from charging to disconnected

Can anyone confirm this hardware problem please

Ok so my phone is playing up abit. When i put the charger in it disconnects and connects constantly. Its fine if you dont touch the phone but as soon as you touch the screen it starts disconnecting again. I put this down to a faulty charger dock and ordered the part so i can fit it. However after fitting the new dock the problem still persists. Ive changed wires, plugs, charger flex and charger port. What could this possibly be?

That link is in french, can you explain a little bit what it says. I have same problem as OP but I bought 4 different USB Flex replacemments and they all dont work. No sound from speaker except for a little popping sound. I think something in the link talked about the back of them being grounded or glued, can you explain it a little please?

Even with the 1000mhz bug, the battery wont drain when charging even from the lower powered usb port
You could try and use another battery for a while and see what happens. If that diesn't help i think you should go back to stock and see what happens.
If these answers don't help, then i guess that your charging port is broken and you probably should unroot the device so you can use the waranty...
I went to a samsung centre and bought a new battery and a new charger and it is working fine right now thanks for your answers people .

I had buggy touch bug but it was loooooong time ago. It was loking like that :
When have opened app drawer or any app it started running and i always end at homescreen when i was trying to do something on my phone while battery was charging.
But i cant remember how and when this problem was gone but i can said this :
One day touch was buggy and in second it was OK (not buggy)
If this problem will exist very long go to service. May your microusb port is touching LCD. And when you connect charger LCD feels power as a touch and starts bugging.

It exists in battery. I charged with a non-original charger (or it was a blackberry charger lol i don't remember exactly) and battery damaged. Then I switched another original battery and never used non-original charger, now it's okay. Changing voltages probably won't help, I recommend you to take a samsung charger and samsung 1500mAh battery then you can play with voltages too.
Thanks all at first.
But guys. A new batery here is R$130 ($60). I have already bought one new 2 months ago.
Cant a just make my batery get used to the original charger voltage?
Sent from my GT-I9070 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you buy it only for 2 months ago, then you still have warranty and must return to seller for change it.
Correct?

Indeed. So i tell them that my phone batery has got addicted to another voltage then the original samsung charger?
I will do that. But for those that doesnt have warranty and are running out of money, is tjere something they can do?
