My battery got drained to about 4% this afternoon and when I got home I started charging my phone but now it doesn't boot anymore, connected to AC or no. It doesn't even show it's charging.
This is a new battery, not even 6 mo old. Anything I can do?
keep it connected to the charger in off condition for a couple of hours and try again... if still no go then try a working battery from another note
It's been connected to the charger for at least 8 hours now... Still it doesn't charge and it doesn't boot.
Is it a stock battery or a cheapo one?

It wasn't cheap and by the looks of it it's an original one, not the one that came with the phone, but identical in all respects.
This helped, now the phone is charging.

Hi,
How long does it usually take u guys to recharge ur note from dead or almost?
It took mine. Over 8 hours to charge from 12%.
Also if keep my note on charge but im usimg it for browsing or whatever, my note still dischares.
Is this normal for the note as my htc Desire didnt diacharge while using it while connected to the charger.
Thanks
Neil

Hmmm I've never really timed it but its gotta be around 4hrs for a full charge.
I have been playing Stardom even when charging and it gains battery.
That doesn't sound normal at all.
If u r charging from USB port den its possible. Charging from ac will be a different story
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
Charging by USB is at around 12% per hour, so it does take 8 hours.
Charging by a/c is upwards of 35%/hr.
Some of the apps usage would demand battery usage at 20-25% per hour, so if your battery usage is more than your charging rate then you would be losing battery which is what might have happened when you are using USB charging etc.
If your stats are for a/c charging, then I suspect the charger.
Yeah i charged for 8 hours with ac and also got discharge while using the note and charging.

Are you using the stock charger? What is the battery time you are getting?

Depends on what you are using for, but it still doesn't sound right.
Mine charges from 5% to full in about 3 hours when it's just sitting
on the table and I'm just using it for a phone call every now and then.
charging shouldn't take more than 4 hours when done from an AC outlet. just check if you have original batteries and charger. if not, take it to the shop and get it replaced immediately. 8 hours is just too much.

Im using the stock charger.
Rocket rom / Abyss 4.2 kernel
And battery life was around 20% after around 14 hours then i put it on charge and used it for about an hour but it discharged to 12%.
I am using the device heavily at the moment as ive had it only a few day.

When you are using it heavily while charging it might be normal,
try leaving it alone while charging for one cycle, that'll give you
an indication.
If it's still substantially higher than 3 to 4 hours under these circumstances
you've got a problem, either battery or charger have an issue, or there's an
app sucking battery like hell.
as said, 3-4 hours is normal. Do you have a battery drain issue when in normal use? if yes, then u can use betterbatterystats to check which process is using the juice.
Also, its advisable (in the first cycle after flashing a rom) to charge the phone with switched off. After full charge, take out the battery, wait for 1 min , reinsert & restart. This will help to reset the battery & start afresh.
From 8% to 100% with the charger it took me less than 3 hours.
I only charge by USB on my PC and its never taken close to 8 hrs for a full charge..
The only time charging has taken a very long time for me is when I ran a ICS ROM.
So i did a charge with my usb cable and it tool half the time. Maybw theres a problemwith my ac charger.

use a different charger, i put it down to a **** charger from samsung as mine did the same, woudl discharge even tho was supposedly plugged in and charged
Last night when I went to bed, the last thing I did was to check if my alarm was set, which is was. The phone was in no weird condition, working as it was supposed to. I left the phone with the charger plugged in over the night.
Then I woke up this morning and couldnt get the screen on. First I just thought it was a SOD, so I removed the battery and tried to reboot it.. but nothing. Phone wont boot neither normally, in recovery or in download mode. Even when I connect the charger there is no activity on the screen, completely dead.
What could have happend? As I said the phone worked just fine last night and noone has touched it over night.
I was running paranoid android 0.3, with the kernel that is delivered with the ROM.
Any toughts? I have ordered a JIG from ebay, and im gonna try and see tomorrow if my friends JIG will work on the note, his JIG is for Galaxy SII.
Any reaction when connection it to a pc?
Or do you have a friend with a Note? Maybe you could try with another battery. I would do that.
/CK
No reaction to a PC, will try with another battery this weekend when I see my brother who also has a Note.
Seems weird tho that the battery would just die like that?
If I don't remember wrong, it's not a good idea to let the battery run dry depending on what rom you use. If it runs dry you cannot turn on the phone and the phone won't react to charger.
I would try with your brothers battery and see if there's any reaction. Or do you have a charger to directly charge the battery?
/CK
The battery was on 10% when I went to bed, with the charger plugged in.
How do you charge the battery directly? I could check at work tomorrow with a voltmeter and see if the battery is drained or not.
I checked my battery at work today with a voltmeter to see if it had any juice in it, turned out to be completely dead. 0 voltage.

Hey. I just had this issue today. I thought my phone got bricked without doing anything. I was using it then 10 mins later it won't respond when i took it out of my pocket..
I had about 80% battery when it died this morning. I tried to boot it to recovery or download mode but nothing....
I finally tried using my bro-inlaw's battery but still nothing...
I blew my battery contacts and pins... Removed the sim and sdcard then placed battery back.
Tried turning it on normally... It did! My battery was at 59% when it finally turned on..
I'm on PA v0.4 with white gnote unit.
I think it may have been the unit acting up, not the rom.
Any thoughts?

I checked with my brothers battery yesterday and the phone started without problems, also plugged in a charger and it was charging as it should.
Must have been my old battery that just went dead?

it could be the cause with your phone, but for me, no, because i'm still using the same original battery that came with the phone. and it's working without issues now.
However, I did a clean install of PAv.4 after it started working again just in case.
Weirdest thing happend, I tried to charge the phone again last night and all the sudden it worked.
So now I have two new batteries traveling to me from China that I no longer need
Hey guys,
I connected my phone to my PC over night for charging as always but when I got up and took my phone it only had 4% battery! It's like the battery just wiped itself from a moment to the other. And now when I try to charge it again the light shows it charges but when I turn on my phone after 30min the battery didn't charge at all... Did anyone experience this before? Do I have to buy a new battery?
Sounds like your battery is shot. So you may need a different battery.
Try different cables etc but if that doesn't work you need a New battery.

Tried a few cables. Weird thing though: In recovery it says 32% and when I boot it up now it says 9% but doesn't really change. Seems like the battery is screwed up... Could it be that the Desire HD has got the exact same battery? Because if it's so I could try with the battery from my dad's DHD...
EDIT: Ok, it's not the same This is gonna be expensive...
EDIT2: So I got my new battery but the phone still drains too fast imo and I can't really charge the battery to 100%... Is sth wrong with the USB-port??

This might help.
Let your battery drain completely and let your cell get switched off.
And then in switched off state, charge your phone completely.
Switch it on...Use your cell as you do it regularly.
Repeat this procedure 3-4 times.
You will be surely benefitted.
did you try plugging into the wall? different USB port?
I had similar issue awhile back that it didn't want to charge with USB but with the AC adapter it worked fine. Also noticed it wouldn't work with USB at all I sent it in for repair and it was apparently USB port broken. Then I had to send it in again because when they fixed usb they broke mainboard
p.s omg I hate captcha tried posting this 10 times ...
Looks like I forgot to post So here is what happened: I got a new battery but even that I couldn't charge with USB. Than I pulled out my AC adapter and it works fine now. Looks like my USB Port is shot but since it still works and just won't charge my phone, I'll ignore that. But my old battery was surely shot because I couldn't even charge it with AC adapter...
Sorry if this seems a little late. It could be the roms fault you are getting strange readings. When I use ice cold and reboot my phone, the battery percentage reading changes like crazy. Sometimes the reboot makes the reading go up, and sometimes down.
USB port breaking is a common fault on inc s, though, so it could be that also, as you have said.
I tried ar least 5 different ROMs so I'm pretty sure that's not it That was also the first thing that came into my mind;D

You may try with a new battery, and remember to don't try flashing anything with low battery, it can brick your Note.
Galaxy Note batteries are well known for their poor lifetime.
well take a charged battery and try it again. And DO NOT flash anything when on low battery. Also check if the charger plugs are properly inserted in the socket and the USB contact terminal is properly connected.
Usb port problem. Better replace it..

I have a Samsung galaxy s on CM 11 nightly, everything has been fine with my ROM but today my battery seems to be acting weird. I'm connected by charger and my phones running fine but my battery won't budge from 0%. I've turned off the phone and plugged the charger in and it stays at 0% then the phone goes off. When I try to turn the phone on without the charger plugged in it doesn't come on. Somebody help me please?

Did your battery run-out flat/zero before this problem started? How long have you been using your battery? It could be just a coincidence that it dies after you've flash a new ROM. The only way I could think of to troubleshoot your problem is by borrowing a working battery and test it with your phone, also test your battery with other working phone and to totally isolate the problem you should also try other working charger. The hard part is finding someone with a perfectly working GT-i9000 phone, battery and charger to borrow to begin with...
I have tried another charger, my phone did die but still has to be connected to boot. I can get a new battery from eBay for a really decent price so I'll get hold of one of them. My battery is pretty old as it's from 2010
