You're another Note user with the same problem. This is a common issue with the Galaxy Notes called "Ghost Mode" or "Crazy Mode", It still charging even if you unplug the cable, and the screen does not turn off (also, in a couple of hours you will see that the Clock and the Driving Mode are turning off and on every time). Its a hardware problem,not software. Happens after months, years or even weeks after buying the device. It covers the warranty so leave it at a Samsung Service Center and they will send you a repaired usb port or a new phone (mine was happend the same issue and Samsung gave me a new phone). Hope it helps you. Sorry my bad english, greetings from Argentina!

Yep, that is what you need.

[Q] Not booting (black screen, no vibrate, usbJIG not working)

I tried different batteries, different cables and different chargers, but get no response whatsoever, even when using a USBjig. Can't get into recovery or download mode. ODIN doesn't find it.
I've been having problems with the microUSB port for a while (phantom USB), in which the phone thinks a charger / car dock is connected (whilst this is not the case). Not sure if they are related, though.
I was running RocketRom V1 (which ran great) when my note suddenly turned off and didn't respond to anything.
Two days later, whilst my supposedly dead note was connected to my PC, my note booted when I booted my pc (very, very odd). I immediately updated my rom to RocketRom v2. My note ran fine for a couple of hours. Then, again, it turned off and hasn't responded to anything since.
What options do I have left to fix my Note? Thanks!
Sounds like dodgy usb connector and therefor not charging properly, I'd get it looked at under warranty or there are a couple of threads here on how to replace the usb port yourself.

Thanks for the response, Spydertracks. I've send the phone to samsung for repairs, but my warranty was refused thanks to physical impact damage. I fail to see how this relates to my N7000's issues, especially since I haven't dropped my note and the problems started when it was lying on the table.
They didn't explain which part of the phone was damaged, by they did send me a picture of the insides of my phone. It shows a small square item (a sticker, perhaps), with 16 small x's on it. Is this a warranty sticker or something?
for now you can use an external battery charger and boot up your note,
also if its the USB connector in the phone, loads are available on selling websites that come with tool kit to do it yourself. videos on youtube as well.,

Thanks for the reply. I have ordered a USB module and will try to fix it myself. However, even with a fully charged battery my note won't boot. It does charge (and the battery heats up) in my Note, but it just won't boot or give any life signal (like a "charging" screen, vibration, whatsoever).

I would try cleaning the usb port with pure alcohol and a cotton bud. usually when it states a charging when not and switching between driving mode and not it points to dirty connectors. Battery is obviously not the issue as he's tried different ones. Only other thing would be to charge the battery on an external battery, that would show if the usb port has failed.

Thanks for the advice. Tried cleaning the port with alcohol and a cotton bud, didn't work. However, I did notice a high pitched sound coming from the charger when my N7000 was attached. This sound could not be heard when charging any other device (with that same charger), which might indicate a short-cirquit in the USB connector port in my Note. The phone (and the battery) do heat up slightly when the charger is connected, though.
I have ordered a UBS module, which will arrive in 2 weeks. I'll let you know if it worked.

Best of luck. For info, my charger has a high pitched whine also, think it's quite common.

I have just replaced the USB connector module of my N7000. Unfortunately, it still does not boot / enter recovery / download mode / show anything on screen / show any sign of life.
Do I have any options left?

The USB port problem seems frequent on this model and on Samsung phones in general - mine is 5 months old and hasn't had this issue so far (knock on wood!). Goes to show just how "good quality" Samsung phones are... not buying again.

My problem with my phone started after I bought a cheap car charger. I must have ruined the mini usb port. Now when I unplug my phone from the charger it keeps showing that it is charging and will not stop till I remove the battery and put it back in. Also if I had just kept it without removing the battery and wanted to recharge it plugging it to the charger will not do anything. Removing the battery and put it back will allow it to charge. I just hope the cover will not disintegrate with all the opening and closing. Before this phone I had the Nokia N97 and in the middle of a long distance call the battery died. I stopped at the first cell shop and bought a car charger that ruined that phone too. I should have learned no to use hardware that is not original even if the guy said it is good.

Charging Problem

Guys, having a problem with the battery port ( I think)
As soon as i plug the wall charger in to the port the phone shows that it is charging but it actually doesn't charge. This happens only with the wall charger.
Tried Reflashing ROM and everything software related.
On Sweetrom v10.5 with Philz.
It works fine via USB charging ( From Computer).
I changed my charger too but same problem happens.
It started when i plugged the phone to a charger of Xolo Q1000 (3rd Party) and that too in a Made In China Extension Board. :/
Hi there
Its a problem with the charger not the USB cable.

You might have a bad USB port on your phone,
If you do then this goes to show don't use 3rd party chargers and extensions, you could have shorted it out.
Best thing to do I would think is to try and get a replacement charging module.

Is that possible?
:/
I mean could have probably shorted out the port?
If it is shorted then how does it charge with the USB?
:/
And btw I can use the Phone as a media or storage device too and can acess all files and everything.

Have you tried flashing any other ROMs to make sure it's not a bug?
Some roms can be pretty weird with a few bugs but I'd say it's worth a shot.

I am gonna visit Samsung Care Centre tomorrow as i dont know anything about DIY stuff.
if other usb cable also same , then it must be usb port that damaged.

Are you root and have you got a custom recovery installed?
If you are you might want to drain your battery, then charge it fully; to remove your battery stats (in CWM). That might help.
If its just your charger not charging your phone, that might indicate that youre charger isnt working, have you got another usb cable? try charging it while its connected to the pc to make sure the AC adapter itsself isnt broken.
Cheers.

[Q] Dead cable?

Hello guys,
I've had my sp, charger and usb cable for maybe 2 months now but yesterday my phone just stopped charging, so I picked another USB cable (which works). Is it common for Sony's USB cable to just stop working at a certain point? Happened a bit unexpected

Amperes too low to jack up the phone, but just enough to charge the speaker? Seems illogical tho, but it's just my hunch lol
Btw my cables are now functioning normally, without any bending issues, idk what happened, it just works -____-
