[Q] Charging Issues With Phone - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Phone Takes 12 Hours For Battery To Fully Charged.
This Strange Phenomenon Started All Of Sudden Since Few Days.
What Should I Do ?
Should I Change Charger,Battery Or There Is Any Other Problem.
I Am Using Stock Samsung Rom Which Is Not Rooted And My Phone Is Roughly 1yr 6mths Old.

First try to clean the USB charging port on the device and then try to charge, the charging port may be damaged. The battery is significantly old and it is advisable to change it.

don't know if it i software or hardware related
any idea ?
sorry for my bad english
two things you can try...
1. Flash to stock GB and try charging it again.
2. if you tried step 1 and still doesn't work, try replacing your charger/usb cable and/OR, CLEAN OUT your usb charge port on your phone. Perhaps there's some lints and dusts there already that have accumulated overtime, causing your issue/s at hand.

[Q] Discharging while charging, not charging, slow charging

Hi there,
My phone is not charging very well, I knew I had battery issues so I recently purchased a new battery.
I have been using CM 10.2 nightlies.
The troubleshooting done so far:
Wipe data/factory reset
Install stable CM 10.1.3
Cleaned usb port
Changed from MTP to usb mass storage
New battery
Nexus 4 cable and charger
Note 2 cable and charger
SGS4 charge cable on PC usb
My phone is pluged and it discharges instead of charging, NO SERVICES OR PROGRAMS RUNNING
Screen off... it discharges to 1% faster
Should I run stock rom on this big ass boy?
Should I get a new USB port (I thinks this is it)?
Should I try a different kernel?
Or should I run a different radio?
Thanks in advance

How does it work while the Note is turned off ?
Does your Note recongnize if it is charging from USB or AC wall charger (must be on of course) ?
Your new battery is Samsung or OEM battery?

Had the same problem and the problem was due to damaged USB port. Change the USB port. Look up some tutorials and buy it from ebay or else where and do it yourselves. Its easy as pie. :good:

Galaxy Note 2 discharging if used while plugged in
My note 2 is charging very slowly while on (10% per hour), charges about the same pace when plugged in. Only just started happening recently, I suspect from the newest android update. on AC it used to charge while on in 4-6 hrs, depending on whether or not i was using it while plugged in. Did the cleaning battery / reset / clear cache etc and calibrated the device with Battery+ app. Phone still discharges at normal pace when not plugged in but 10 hours is a really effin long time for it to recharge, no?
I used to be able to use it heavily while plugged in and it would just stay level, and still charge on light usage. For it to lose charge while plugged in seems wrong.

[Q] Charging Issues - Is 300-400mA input normal for Z1 stock changer?

For some reason (since lollipop cm12 nightly 20150121, currently on DStrikerz 4.7 stock-based ROM) my phone takes a while to recognised that the charger is plugged in ( an average of 1-2, sometimes not at all, sometimes longer and/or sometimes it randomly stop charging in the middle of charging).
This is what I have done:
I have done a clean flash by going to CM11 (not CM12) back to Dstriker ROM thinking some residual code may have stayed from Lollipop CM12 (cause it had slow charging issues, reported by many), but issue still persists.
I have tried different Power Bricks. I get 700-850mA from iPad charger with 2.4A (2400mA) output with stock cable. I get 200-300mA on a brick with 400mA output.
I have yet to fully verify this but I have had no problems with the other bricks (still need time)
(End of What I have done)
Now my question is that:
Is the lower mA normal when charging?
Do I have issues with my charging port (had charging port issues on previous phone which is Sammy GS2) or is it the brick and/or cable?
How long does it take for your phone battery percentage to go up 1% on average (mine is 1.5 - 5min average) ?
Any other software solutions you can suggest? (Optional)
Can you post a screenshot of the mA of your battery while charging so I can compare? (Optional)
Look at the screenshot at the bottom.

My phone has stock rom, and i used to have the problem of phone immediately not starting to charge...
I found out that the stock cable was loose when connecting, so i started using the cable of my older xperia u, which works fine
Have you tried turning off the phone and then charging?
Because sometimes the kernel gets moody and all that, i had these problems on my xperia u, and i then used to power off and then leave it on charging for some time

That's for the reply I just found the problem. It was the plug. My friend connected it to his GS3 for 1 hour and it only charged 3%. I've tried other charging plugs with stock cable as well for the past night and didn't have any problem. So I might have to replace or fix the plug myself.
test again try to start charge when the battery is at 20% and see if it still 300-400 mah so u may have to get a new cable or to get new charger also maybe the plug
the charging from 90 to 100 is usualy slow comparing from start to 90
test and tell

I checked too, my mobile also had around 400-500mA too, although it is charging and behaving normally

Interesting. I pushed the USB connection on the plug upwards (seen attachment) and it started charging properly at 700-900mA until 90% where it was 300-400mA, compared to the 300-500mA no matter what battery % I had left.
Charging was much quicker.
I remember doing the same on the GS2 charging port and phone charged properly.
I guess its something to do with no reenforcement at the top of the port. Both S2 micro USB port and Z1 USB charger plug port have no reenforcement at top. Think this is a design flaw.

Maybe, but my mobile also get fully charge in about 2 hrs max, and when i once checked this app about current, it was showing around 400-500mA at about 48%, although the mobile didnt take time to charge, maybe at that instance the current was that?

z3compact stuck at 1% batter, dead battery?

my daily phone is out of commission and looking to use my old z3compact for a few days. I tried to charge it and after a few hours its at 1%. It did boot up and says low battery 1% while plugged in. Is the battery dead? Not sure how old the software on it is, maybe software issue?
If so, can I use while plugged in or will that cause it to shutdown?

1.try with other usb and other charger. (akso magnetic if u have)
2.go to a service-gsm or send it to repair to sony(if u still have guaranty)
Problem can be from device connector charging, usb cable, charger, battery, or something from motherboard...
try to charge (leave it also if doesnt charge) for 10-15 minutes...if doesnt work, try to do what i said up

Battery 100% On, 80% Off

phone says 100% but says 80% when off charging
Tried:-
1. 2 different battery callibration apps
2. charging 100%, depleting battery. repeated process a couple of times
3. Switched to Stock (Rooted), 2 Custom ROMs (Waited till it was 100% on both on and off before flashing)
Notes:-
1. Battery seems perfectly fine (takes a while before depleting and doesnt deplete before 0%)
Currently using stock rooted
l would start with replacing the cable and charger to make sure you are getting a full charge. Then monitor the usage time on your phone over a few weeks and see if the time to empty is getting less that is a sure sign of a bad battery
Recheck with another fast charger. Generally, we cannot say if is a faulty cable or you have an faulty adapter. I hope the device chargeboard is not shot/motherboard driven related issue. Also, have you recovered the device using Samsung Kies- Emergency firmware recovery?

I tried - original cable with original charger 6hr
- original cable with apple charger 2hr
- different cable with original charger 1.30hr
- different cable with apple charger 2hr
(Used different fast chargers too, same results)
I tried a smart switch recovery. Same conclusion which makes me think its a hardware issue

With original charger it takes 6hrs!!! Holy ****
I think its a usb port problem for sure.. Do one thing while connected to the charger go to device maintenance and open battery menu and see if it say charging via AC or USB if while us8ng the original charger it shows Chaging via USB then certainly its the port that has gone faulty..
Hit thanks if helped
Hello everyone! Though its not the right place to ask the question but I have been seeking solution to my problem from months. Long time before, my Galaxy Note II started to behave differently. Whenever I charged it completely, the phone worked normally till 75% to 80% and all of sudden a =low battery warning indication appears and phone proceeds to shut down. I tried changing ROM and calibrating the battery again but nothing worked. Finally I replaced the battery with a new one and also clean flashed another ROM in a hope to see if the problem is gone or still there. But to my surprise the problem is still intact. Now, when I turn on the phone the battery is 90% and when I keep using it, it drains normally, but as soon it reaches round about 80%, it turns off randomly. When I turn the phone back on the battery is still at the same percentage level at which is turns off. I believe there is not an issue with the battery. Please help me what to do, I am using TWRP recovery that doesn't gives the battery stats wipe option too. Should I flash a new ROM again? I would greatly appreciate if someone please helps me in sorting this problem.
What I have already done!
1. Replaced the battery
2. Changed the ROM
3. Re-calibrated the battery

I have noticed the same issue, I think. I suspect it is a general bug.
Guys, try charging your phone while in Android. When it reads 100%, switch off your device. Either leave the charge cable attached or reattach it after you have switched off. Now wait for the off-line charging icon to appear. Unless I'm mistaken, the percentage won't correspond with whatever your phone reports while your in Android. If Android says 100%, this will be a lower number. And off-line charging will keep on charging until you reach 100%.

Sorry for the late response. Internet finished, had to wait until the renewal date. During this time, i wiped the rom and re-installed it (Khongloi V11). Since there was no internet, i didnt sign in any accounts, Switched off the location. The phone surprisingly took 3 days before reaching 0.
Indeed, it says USB Charging 6hrs. I sometimes keep plugging and unplugging, it changes to A/C 2hrs.
I have this problem too. But I change batt_capacity_max to 1000, phone on 100% phone off 100%. If we recharge to full it will return to the same state (phone on 100, phone off ~80) so i need to change again. I don't know if this destroy my battery life ? I don't know why. I thought I'm the only 1 who have this problem? (sorry for my bad english)
I think this may be a software/firmware problem, not a problem with the battery.

I figured that was the problem but i tried it with three different roms (Khongloi V11, Final, Stock).
Maybe it's some kind of battery protection thing created when your battery is old or something?

The various ROMs may all use the same battery raportage code, which doesn't account for this discrepancy. After all, most ROMs are just fancy reskins of stock Android.
That said, maybe Samsung support can shed some light on what's going on.
On a side note? Is there anyone who reads this thread, whose reported battery charge (in percentages) is the same in Android as when the device is switched off and charging?
So... any solutions?
