Yesterday my galaxy note can start. It only shows a grey battery icon. What I did
1. Remove the battery for 30 minutes and put it on again.
2. It to odin mode, it works I flashed the origin 4.1.2 rom to it, it tried to restart but stayed on grey battery stage.
3. Did two wipes, not helpful.
It's a UK edition bought from Expansys, still in 2 years warranty. I contacted Expansys, they can only help me ship my phone for warranty in 1 year, but I bought it Feb 2012, already exceed 1 year, so they can't help. I contacted Samsung USA, they said Samsung phone doesn't carry international warranty. I ordered a new battery, will try it to see if it's a battery problem.
Yes, changing the battery is the correct next step.
Since you were able to connect to a pc you should have high confidence the usb/charging port is functioning.
Are you using the stock charger and stock cable?

Yes. Always stock charger and stock cable. I never have a phone has such a bad quality. If the phone in Odin mode, it doesn't use battery?

Hi guys!
It's been awihile since i've posted in this forum. Happy new year and all!
I need help! My note has had Cassie's xtralite 4.0.4 rom awhile and everything has worked great with it. But couple of weeks ago the battery had drained and i put my note to charger (official). But it never bootup since. Only black screen and no sign of any life.
What can i do with this? I still have warranty, but i quess, i should have to flash a original firmware, before i send this to samsung repaircenter? Is there any way, that i can do this? Thanks!
keep the phone plugged in to the charger for a couple of hours and then try to boot up the phone.. try download mode as well

Thanks, but no help. Still a dead note. :/
try a charged battery from a different note. if that too fails, then i don't think the service center can also start it up to find out what rom its on
actually if the phone didnt properly shutoff, you have the jb leaks bug. Reinstall rom, and all should be fine.
first turn off rom, then insert charger, watch charging indicator, let charge till full, then do the rom flashmob flash on safe kernel cleanly.
You're going to need an external battery charger. You can pick one up cheap off eBay.

Hi,
I have Cassie's ICS rom not JB. There shouldn't be any memory leak problem in this rom, that i know of. I've tried to put my note to download mode, when connected to PC + Odin. But no luck. I could send this to repair, but i'm afraid that samsung sees, that my note has a custom rom in it and i loose my warranty.
So, is there a change, that my battery is just dead?
thanks for your replies!
you should have tried a charged battery on your note till now.. first thing to check
Thanks!
Too bad, that my friends don't have Note. I'll check my local Cellphone store and ask to try different, charged battery from them. Can you tell me the reason, why my Note + charger wouldn't charge the battery?
I have seem many cases where the note is dead and the battery does not charge. If you have an external charger, even that would work to charge the battery.
few days ago having the same symptom as ur's .
but I'm using JB , after charge the battery n than press 3 button go to recovery mode n press reboot system now.
everything back to normal.
I'm not sure whether is it works on 4.0.4
The problem was the battery!
Thanks for your help guys! I had a change to try different battery and my Note booted up normally. I just ordered a new one.
Samsung batterys seem to really suck in quality. 7months and the battery is dead.

This is what up I am up to right now, when the battery is below cca 95% then my Note dies, but still works under charger. Battery lasted around 12 months - never happened with HTC, but 20E for a new one is not a big deal either ...
Hello!
I got an old Samsung gt-n7000, it worked well until the battery went old. The screen started to flickering for some days, until the battery lost all the power, the mobile turned off and I could not recharge it. I then bought a new battery and everything worked, I thought. Until I should charge the phone, it still dident work to charge it. I look all over the internet and found that maybe its the usb connector in the phone that stop working. I ordered one at ebay, got it today but it still don't give me any response at all.
The phone was rooted for ca one year ago, but then I factory reset it to all original. So this dosen´t matter?
Any thoughts what I can do? Is it just trash?
My advice is to get an external battery charger and a spare battery.
It could also very well be a bad usb cable.

I already tried 5 different cables and none of them work sadly.
Yeah I guess that's the only way?
I suspect something like this would work as well.
Please note that i have not tested/used/researched/ordered this. But its what i would consider giving your situation.

Got my Note 5 with the adaptive faster charger about 3 and a half weeks ago. On my second Note 5 now (had to send the first one in due to problems) and everything was working fine until a couple of days ago. I would notice my phone saying "charging" and then I would have to unplug and plug it back in then the "fast charging" would appear. Now it doesn't ever go into "fast charging" and no matter what I do I always get "charging". I currently have 93% battery and it is telling me 15 minutes until full which seems a lot slower. I tried using my old Note 4 fast charger and get the same issue.
Anyone else with this issue? Wondering if it's the phone or actual charger and if there is anything I can do to get a replacement.
I never paid attention, but I just always figured that the adaptive charger would switch from 5V/2A to 9V/1.67A when it was nearing full charge.

Try a factory reset. If it doesn't work, get it exchanged asap.
Check if the fast charging option in power settings is enabled

I know this thread is kind of old but in case you havent resolved your issue. I had the same problem with my phone so I called warranty, they sent me a brand new charger with cable and it works fine now. I compared the one they sent as a replacement and the one that came with the phone and the replacement cable is actually a lot thicker and feels way more durable. My guess is Samsung cheaped out and threw in a crappy cable to save cost but it wears down A LOT faster than a durable heavy duty one like the replacement I got. Anyways the new charger is working 100% of the time and has held up for about a week so far. we'll see how much longer this cable last.

Quick question, did you contact Samsung directly for this? Did they mail you something or did you have to go in to a local repair depot?
Thanks.

I actually called ATT customer service/warranty center. He told me he'd send me a new charger and cable and I needed to send back my old one. Got it in less than 2 days. Sorry for not being more specific. Also fast charging is still going 100% of the time on the new cable.

Thanks. Looks like I'll have to give my provider a call. I can verify that once I switched the cable I have no issues fast charging. I'm not having a good experience with Samsung so far. When you charge almost $1,000 for a product I expect it to be free of defects in every day use. Meanwhile my cable is messed up after only 3 weeks of owning it and the phone has signal problems that require me to cycle airplane mode to get data working. Never had a problem with my Nexus phones or iPhones. Really poor qualify control.
Ok, I have been dealing with this issue and trouble shooting every which way but loose. I am getting this message every time I try to charge my phone. "Unable to charge your device, make sure you are using a samsung-compatable battery and charger, and that your device is properly connected to the charger." The device is almost 2 years old so it is out of warranty, I called samsung and sent it in at my own expense and they marked it "BER" (Beyond Economical repair) because I had rooted it, I didn't install my own rom I just simply tripped Knox so samsung refused to work on it. Very disappointing. I have now set out to fix it on my own.
OEM Battery: Check
OEM Charger: Check
Properly Plugged in: Check
I have tried multiple different fixes, factory reset didn't work, so I flashed Cyanogen 12.1, Rapture, and Dr. Keton ROMs to see if it was a software issue, NOPE. (P.S. Rapture is my favorite)
So I ordered a wireless charger so see if it was the charger port, NOPE.
Then I ordered a external battery charger and 2 other batteries so I could at least play around with it. SO I have determined it is not the Charger port, Software, or Bad Battery.
2 weeks Prior to this problem occurring the bluetooth flat out quit working. So I am now considering getting a new motherboard but this requires a lot of work I would rather not do if there are any other suggestion at this point I would love to hear them before I pull the trigger and buy a 150$ motherboard, If it honestly comes to that I might just sell the phone for parts, I bought an s7, but I loved my note 4. I would prefer to go back to it cause I like the battery life on the note 4 but LOVE the camera on the s7. Any way, Any Ideals would be fantastic, thanks.
I had an international note 3 that used to say that. I think you may have to use a power source for which that perticular phone was designed for.... just an idea... If i recall i could slowly charge it using a car charger but not a wall charger. I dont know why though i sold it on craigslist before i found the answer.
I also had a similar problem with a regular domestic note 3. Turns out my baby stuck my phone in her mouth and her spit corroded the terminals. So the phone just wouldnt charge. Was a pretty easy fix for like 10 bucks for a whole new charging port. Did you maybe drop your phone and dislocate the flex cable from your board? http://youtu.be/OYBWT1yfilc
Doesnt seem toooo difficult to fix but if it were me id just swap out batteries
Hello, i'm here if any expert can help me with this problem i recently got.
So back then i had an Internation stock rom, but recently after 3 or 4 the phone stopped charging, so i decided to void my warranty (Which i now regret)
It only got worse, the phone doesn't charge unless its percentage is over 70, and doesn't even fast charge.
So i did my research and had to spend hours and even days, which i obviously didn't find and that's why i'm here.
My cable has been quite uninstable too, but as said, it only charges when it's 70%, and the only way i was able to charge was throught TWRP, which i recovered and no longer have TWRP, tried to install an stock rom, but failed, i really don't know what to do than buy a new cable, but highly doubt it will do anything and that the problem is in the kernel [Overdose].
I appreciate any helpful answers.
the stock cables and charger are junk. i just got me le s3 4 days ago and the chord and wall adapter never worked together, the chord did allow me to charge for a few days but this morning...it stopped working (after flashing a few roms and tweaks, so i thought it was that too...nope. its the cable. GET A NEW ONE ASAP and all wll be great
Dude! I had the same problem! Bought Samsung Type C cable from Samsung Care! And working flawlessly! Yes it is costly but it is worth it! Quality and fast charge! It was about Rs. 550 for me!

Well, i got a new cable because of it, and now it isn't working, maybe it's because the cable was very cheap so i'll engange on geting a new much better quality cable.
Thanks for the confidence with the respond! :good:
Nothing, the phone will still not charge.
