Hi,
I have scoured through the forums and googled for many days, I was not able to find the definite answer to solve my problem. The problem appears to be that the battery doesn't charge up, however, many signs show otherwise, I would like to ask if anyone here knows which part of the phone actually does the battery voltage sensing.
Firstly, I have tried charging my phone while it is switched off, several hours of charging only yields 10+% of charge. Secondly, I tried changing the battery of the phone, makes no difference. All these was done with different USB chargers and different charging cables. Then, I tried rooting and unlocking it and flashing cyanogenmod, problem still exists. Lastly, I tried flashing the same firmware version once and then a different firmware, still does not solve the problem.
Some things that led me to believe that it might be the fault of the battery voltage sensing circuit component of the phone are that when the phone is in recovery mode, I can unplug the charging cable and the phone does not power down. However, when the phone boots normally into android, the battery indicator would appear as 0% and unplugging the cable would shut down the phone.
BTW, my phone's warranty is already up. Is there anyone that has the same problem or some solutions to this problem? Thank you in advance.

What about calibrating your battery? Try using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583320

I dont think calibration is the problem since he fleshed CM and other roms and atill have battery problem.I think you should try to remove batery from device and charge it on separate charger.If that doesnt help you will need new battery.

Hi,
I have already bought a new battery but it still doesn't charge up. Would it be due to other hardware failures?
Well that is unfortunate but it appears so. except if you didn't do full system wipe before flashing other roms.Did you?

Have you tryed cleaning the charging port out mine was full of dirt and had same problem.
battery life
I turned the phone off took battery out and then used a needle and managed to get fluff and dirt out of the port which I didn't see until I shined a torch in. But you have to be carful not to damage anything. I also had a problem with my phone only charging to 92% that ended up been cause it wasnt a geniune lead. cheers and good luck

Having the same problem with my Samsung tab!
Hi rock2702,
How were you able to solve your Galaxy Tab charging problem?
maybe he deleted the batterystats or installed betterbatterystats
Or (re)installed a custom ROM.
What was your solution if you don't mind?
well, this is how i solved it...
if it's rooted...
use battery calibrator....
or keep tab switched off for 4 hours or so...and then connect it to charger while switched off
if this also doesn't help then after connecting to charger while it's still off you can see a battery icon charging...simultaneously press switch on button and touch the screen ....if on aokp rom your tab will instantly reboot as i've noticed....if on stock rom which i was on when this thing happened to me....your tab will show a black screen and then again the battery charging icon shoots up....
One of the above things worked for me....i was enjoying my vacations when i encountered this problem and so i cannot remember exactly which of these things worked....
Hit thanks if i've helped..
Battery Not Charging
Well i don't know much about this, but it happen also on my SGT7 P1000 tab. What was notice is, if Usage (mA) value is below zero/negative value during charger plug-in. the battery won't charge. What i do is to turn off the screen an leave the tab on that mode, then battery charging start to increase.
Any one can give explaination on this situation?

The battery in our phone is faulty...this is whats i heard...
But this problem is due to faulty battery stats..
If this problem never happened again then you are quite lucky
I had noticed that the battery increases but after an increase of 20% it again stops.....
But the solutions I gave worked fully without any probs...

my same issue....
is caused by not using original samsung wall charger...when i use a different brand charger, none of my tabs charge unless i turn them off. i purchased extra one from samsung just in case my original breaks or gets lost. Cable is hard to find made by anyone besides samsung (RETAIL). In fact, most samsung accessories are easier to find online than in stores....I think rooting and using different roms affects the way tab reacts to the charger. thats my 2 cents.

Yes, we must use the original charger but the problem stated above clearly shows that it's due to faulty battery stats......
If you have noticed this......charge the battery to full 100% and then notice the battery stats it spontaneously drops down to 99% in a sec....that's due to our battery stats I guess..
Again keep battery on overnight charging...sometimes this happens...
The battery drops down from 99 to 1 % and then you have to restart phone and battery stats are back to 99...that's a battery stats prob

For some time to time since CM9 (1 time each month maybe) my tablet does not charge anymore with any chagrer, I tried restock, tried a lot of thing but the only thing that seems to work is charge it on usb of a computer (low speed charge) up to full charge (a night) which is in my case 99%.
Most of time it fixes the problem untill it happen again, but enerally It's ok for weeks.
I've got two GT7 and only one seems to have this problem with the same rom on it, so I think it is device related.
Hope this help
The charging problem is here the same...
With screen off i could load battery over night yesterday to 100%... plug th charger of and battery drops down to 46%.
Will try the usb loading with pc at work now
As of a few days ago i can no longer use the device while on the charger without losing charge....fast! (ive used the device while charging for the past 9mo).
Same on any kernel, any rom....any of the 3 Samsung batteries I have.
Any ideas?
Is the phone warming up or getting uncomfortably hot? The only thing i could think of is the battery has reched the end of its useful life..
===EDIT===
I was not able to read the last part that you said you tried 3 diff batteries.. LOL my bad..
Mostly it happens when you use incompatible charges (Not the original ones) which doesn't charge battery to its full voltage.
Replace it and check if its solved. If not you can calibrate battery or replace the battery.
Check battery status under settings and see if you have a file running "gpsd". A few times this bug would hit my phone using 63% and drain my battery while charging.
I would have it charge all night to disconnect in the morning and get a warning my battery us low.
To fix I would place my phone in airplane mode, turn off and turn back on, remove airplane mode and it would be back to normal.
Check to see if you have the bug.

Try to install betterbatterystats and check for any wakelocks on your phone. Wakelocks are dreaded battery juice killers. And I agree, turn off your phone at night and in the morning, check back on the BBS what process is working at the background (of your phone).

This problem is occurred to me also. all my devices are original.
this problem was found only when I used stock rom ics 4.0.4, but not found with custom rom as paranoid, cm9, cm10 etc.
try to flash custom rom, you will solve the problem.
Mine has allways done this, whether stock or custom rom. With orginall charger too. I put it down in my case due to being on skype. It also gets vvhot. This is with the original bat.also a samsung spare.

OK I had this problem before, and I solved it by changing charger and clean rom install, I think it is a mix of hardware and software issue, hardware as it is linked with no. Of pin in the charger, I think when the phone discharge while charging the phone see the cable as USB otg so it give it power, any way, change the charger and install any from with trying different kernels

My GT-N7000 yesterday developed this issue:
When I boot it (no USB cable to power it), the battery shows empty (grep battery icon, with a charging circle).
A second or so later, it switches to show a half-full battery, with charging dots below. and it vibrates for about a second.
Again, another second ro so later it goes back to showing an empty battery and the cycle continues.
If I attach a UCB charging cable, it boots fine, shows the battery as 100%
If I remove the charging cable, it loses power. When switched on again, this all starts over.
I saw this on ICS (4.0.4, stock, German) and there i also had the battery icon in normal more switching between
charging and blinking to not charging. I found a recommendation that upgrading might help, so I
did apply the JB update I had downloaded a few days ago, but this does happen
under JB too (OTA German 4.0.4, then flashed with Phil's-stock plus cwn6)
Is there anything can can be done? Is this a hardware issue or something that some form of total reset might cure?
As it is, I cannot use the phone w/o having it externally powered through my powerbank or car charger.
This happens with two batteries, so it's not the battery that is broken
I really think this one is battery problem as I have experienced the same thing..
are the batteries you tested New?
just my 2 cents.

No, I've had both a fow a while.
I may buy a third just to test but I fear I may have to get a replacement phone soon , sniff
Though I would suggest that you get a new set of batteries...they solved the problem for me.
While you are at it, please search the forum for another solution that worked for me- "cleaning the micro-usb slot"...its an easy process but needs to be done a little carefully.
either of the two would definitely work for you...speaking from experience!

Hello, I have a problem with my Galaxy S Advance; I reinstall the system with Pure Vanilla ROM (I had JellyMod before) and now I have getting problems with battery.
When I charge the phone when it is awake, it won't charge, the only way to charge it is to turn the phone off so it begin to charge, and then I'm able to turn on the phone with the cable plugged in. But when I unplug it when the charge is over, the icon on the phone is stuck to 100%, it only shows the real battery amount left when I restart it.
Besides, now my battery drains really fast, during the night, it can drains to 40 to 0% in 8 hours.
Does someone knows what the problem is?
Try battery caliberation
I will sugest another rom like harsh jelly with cocore.

You could try to take your battery out to see if something is wrong
Or, after all the options above didn't help to solve the problem, then you should consider changing your battery
I tried battery calibration, but no results. And I already took the battery out, but nothing more happens.
But I noticed that with Better Battery Stats there's a process that is always awake in the kernel wakelock section, "ab8500_charger_attached_lock". Could this be the problem?
No one knows if I can delete the "ab8500_charger_attached_lock", and if there is a way?
Well, I found the solution, if anybody has this problem; the usb connecter was the cause: the metallic part in the center seemed close to one other and even when the phone wasn't charging, it made it think like it was. So I just took a knife and straightened it up and now everything is back to normal.

You are my Savior!!for a week my phone has been broken,i wanted to repair at repair shop
but i saw your method and it works!!
This is already my second turbo which has such problems. When I connect it to the charger, phone says that it's charching but it's not, nor is it draining battery.
e.g.: If battery's on 10%, after 5 hours of charching it will still be on %10. But once I remove it battery starts to drain normally
The phone just won't charge. I've tried everything, wireless chargers, old chargers, cleaning ports.
I have even dissasembled battery and charged it directly and it worked. Nothing seems to be burned on mainboard, but who knows...
Has anyone encountered such a problem? I am quite familiar with solder and phone dissasembly. If anyone can indicate, which chip is responsible for charching, I would try to fix it and post a guide.
Hello Nikoloz17, I haven't experienced this with Turbo but with Razr Maxx. Exact same symtoms was solved by replacing the battery. So, instead of messing with mainboard, you can try a different original battery in the first place.
Hi,
Thanks for your swift reply, but sadly problem is not in the battery, since as I said, removed it and charged it directly with couple of wires and correct voltage. Battery charged to 100%
Plus as I said, I have two of these phones, so if anyone has any ideas just message and i'll mess with them
do wipe data & cach on recovery.
if dosent work, flash stock firmware.
sorry for eng.
I found that mine did this just recently. I had to use a new cable to get it to work.

I've had this happen to two of my Turbos. It use to worry the piss out of me. The thing that fixed it was to use the original charging cord & charger that came with it.
I'm facing same issue after changing the battery to a new one. One thing I noticed is it shows incorrect CPU temperature in recovery. I tried clearing cache, reflashing software, checking connections, different chargers and wires but nothing. It dies get connected through USB.
I believe it's something to do with the temperature sensor. If anyone knows where exactly it is and what can be done please reply. I don't know how many days my phone will last on battery saving mode. T_T
