Last night I was sleeping while plugged in wall charger. In the morning I saw the phone was half drained and didnt take charge after 4 am. I thought charger problem. So tried several charger! Didnt work. The LED is not turning on at all! I was on IC and stock kernel. I tried to change to elemental, remove UC, fast charge, disable fast boot and all. Nothing changed it!
When I tried again to make it detect in fast boot, the charger port was ****ing hot!
Any one any idea what the **** I got into?
Probably burnt out the charge port. That happened to one of mine. Can you smell burning from the port? Sounds like a warranty job

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
Have u checked the charger plug cos if its that stupid black charger that comes with the phone they can play up my old one does this and I have to twist it slightly for the pins to touch try a apple charger or another USB charger

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.
I bought dock dk31 and Magnetic charger they working ok before.
But now both charger not charging
When in charge the light does go red
But just not charging.even battery drain
Fast.any one had this kind issue before?
Now only way to charge is using usb charge.(sorry for my English)

A friend of mine had the same issue. The cause was that his cable was somehow broken.
Also check if your magnet charging cable is really mounted on the phones magnet dock. It already happened to me that my phone was in a state where it shows that it's charging but still drained battery. Readjusting it a little helped me.
Thanks for reply
I did adjust every time when try to charge
But samething.
It happened after one night I forgot to charge my phone and battery drain out
I wake up morning try to charge the phone but can't chagre then i hard reset chagre it again.it work again but i was using usb charger. Since that my both dock charger and Magnetic not work

I'm using the stock 3.0 use cable that came with it, but within the past week or so, my charging times has doubled. Has anyone else had this issue with their phone (Note 3, AT&T, rooted but stock rom)?

You say you're using the stock cable, are you using the stock charger also? It's 2 amps which is higher then most other chargers.
Yes, the charger and cable are both the original ones that came with the phone.

I don't know why it's taking longer, but you could buy one of those USB current meters on ebay for about $4 shipped from China, and actually measure the charge rate of your USB cable. You'll be surprised how some cables are inferior than the other even though they work fine for data.
Also, I don't think the included USB 3.0 cable provides faster charge time. I just use USB 2.0 cable and wireless Qi charging at home. If I use a good USB 2.0 cable, I get up to 1.5A charge rate. When I use a Samsung genuine but thin USB 2.0 cable, charge rate goes up to 1A. Since our battery is 3000mAh, it'll take little more than 3 hours with the thin cable. I usually charge whenever and as often so I don't know how long it really takes.
I think it may be a hardware issue, as I noticed last night that after 3 hours, my phone was actually losing juice while plugged in to the charger. I also noticed that while lying in the table, the screen was going on & off on its own. When I played around with the cable where it plugs into the phone, it would vibrate intermittently. So I'm now guessing it's a problem with the port on the phone.

Try a different cable first. It is cheaper. My son's note 2 was doing exactly the same thing. Cable looked fine but swapping to a new cable solved the problem.

Check your wake lock

Hey, I had the same problem. I installed wake lock detector and found that carrieriq was slowly eating up my battery. I also installed cpuspy and found that all my cores were running at full speed. After all the trouble shooting I did, I eventually wiped my phone then installed my apps one by one... I figured out that setcpu or any program like that would get stuck on preformance, even if you set it to on demand, it won't stick. Thus leaving your CPU running at full speed...

Battery drain isn't the problem though, it's the phone not charging. A good example is 2 nights ago. The phone was at 76% when I plugged it in and went to bed. It vibrated, the charging icon came on, and the led was red¦ everything showing the phone was charging. But when I got up the next morning, the battery had actually lost 8% juice.
What I found I have to do is put a rubber band around the phone and charging cable so that it's pulling the cable up harder into the charging port. So that means that it's either a cable issue, or the port.

I've got a couple 2.0 cables around here someplace. I'll give them a shot if I can dig them up.
Thanks.

I realize that there are multiple threads on this but my problem is kinda unique. When the phone is powered on fast charging doesn't work, I turn the device off and fast charging is working while powered off. Sometimes it's the other way around fast charging isn't working while powered off and when turned on it is working. I don't think its the usb cable because I have tried 2 different cables. Maybe its the power plug? Gonna try my cousins see if it works when I see him. Till than any other ideas on why this might be happening?
How do you know it's fast charging when not on?
My oem charger went bad after a year and did the same as you description in the op. My bet is you need a new one

It has the lightning icon under the battery. If its not there its not fast charging.
