Phone Doesn't Charge As Quickly - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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.

[Q] Battery charging problem?

I've had the Droid 3 for about 10 days now, and I've been encountering an intermittent problem with charging the phone.
Last night, I plugged in my phone so that it would charge overnight. I made sure that the connections to both the phone and the outlet were firm, and upon plugging it in, my phone's battery icon and lock screen both indicated that it was charging. However, when I woke up this morning, I discovered that the battery had actually continued to discharge overnight. Despite this, the battery icon and lock screen both continued to say that the battery was charging.
I've run into this problem three times this past week. It's entirely possible that I just have a defective device, but I wanted to check and make sure that nobody else was experiencing this issue before taking it back to Verizon.
Check the task manager for programs using lots of cpu. I've found that using google maps nav in the car dock while charging still in fact uses more power than it could charge. Your issue is with the screen off though so check for background apps.

I have had this problem 2 times and I have had the phone for about the same time. I plugged it in at like 40% watched a movie screen never came on till the movie was over I looked at my screen and the battery was at 11%. I was thinking maybe just a bad connection untill I looked at the notification bar and it said it was charging!
I just got my Droid 3 yesterday and last night, the first night of use, it did the same thing. Even if I go into battery usage and look at the graph it'll say charging but the power level will be going down. Very frustrating.
A Verizon rep I spoke with recommended trying a different charger. Sounds reasonable enough, so I'll give that a shot and post back after a few nights of use.
What is the current rating of the chargers you guys are using? (i.e. 850 mA, 1 A, etc). A good rule of thumb is not use anything less than 1 A (1000 mA).
The Motorola-supplied charger is 850mA.

This sounds logical. I had this same problem two phones that happened to have a slide-out keyboard (Shift, G2) and the problem vanished when I used a different charger. I just read today that 100s of people were having this problem today in a news feed.
I was having the issue too, so I used a 2A charger that came with my Huawei tablet...no more issues! (Charge time is about 1.5 hours too!)

I'd be careful about using higher amperage chargers. Don't want to be burning out the charging circuitry. Not saying you will.. just be careful using a charger not designed specifically for the device.
Apparently the new Moto LiPo batteries have another level of overcharge protection. To be safe, I'm going to use an ohm-meter about once a week or so to check the internal contacts (a higher ohm rating would suggest damage).

That's not the one I have, I'm using the USB-output charger from the S7 SLIM, then the Moto supplied USB cable.
Well, it's been a few days, and I haven't experienced the problem since switching to a different charger. Granted, the problem was intermittent, so it's difficult to know for certain if the charger was in fact the issue, but I'm content with this solution.
I've been using my iPad's 5.1V 2.1A charger without issues for a few days. It charges the extended battery from 10% to full in a little over an hour.
That's the dual-core proc for ya. Wonder why the Xoom uses a proprietary charger? dual-core devices nom battery.

No? Dual core is more efficient, it shuts down one of the processors when it's not in use. Dual core means nothing about power efficiency. As a matter of fact, it can have an advantage. Each core uses less power, and combined, they can use less power than a similarly powerful chipset.
I've also run into some issues on my 5 day old Droid 3. It seems to be when disconnected from the charger. I have two regular Moto chargers for this, and tried a 1A HTC charger, which this thing will not charge from.
I tried using different micro USB cables, which didn't help, either. I was trying to move the phone around while charging, and seemed to encounter the issue. Either it's a connector issue for the mUSB, or the (especially short and stiff) charging cables have broken conductors inside, and we're getting a bad batch of cords.
Possibly the D3 has its own issue with charging, but I didn't have a problem until this morning. regular mUSB cords won't work for me at all, as I've tried all I have.
Given this issue, I'm wondering how widespread this is, and if it's something to take the phone back for. I took me a few hours (over 3) of waiting and fiddling with it, but it's at least charging now.
I had this issue to. I used a different charger and cord to charge my phone at night woke up the next day no charge. I went to work pluged in to my wall charger and still no charge. I did a factory reset thinking that might work but it did not. I was going to take it to a verizon store after work so on the way there I pluged in to my car charger an it started to charge so I skipped the store. When I got home I used a different cord and wall charger and it also worked. I did notice that when I plugged in the night before that a small little white light was lit up for a second in between the charging port and hdmi. I know there is a light there but never seen it light up before. So maybe that was behind all of this. Not had a problem sense.

The amperage you see stated PS units has no effect on your phone. That's not how many amps leaves the unit to charge your battery. That's how much the PS unit can handle as a draw. In reality the reason the stock ones are only 850 only means that the manufacture used spec parts for the PS unit. i would think that Motorola's minimum spec was 850 and so that's what the PS units manufacture used.
The higher the number means nothing other than you can bet the 1AMP one is going to out last the 850.
Of course the last statement is highly speculative because i have no idea what the amp rating for the phone is. But what i do know is that all the parts are made in china and you can bet they are not going to overbuild anything.
If the amp range is 675-832, which is the number I would expect then if the phone draws more than 850 for an extended period of time the units internal fuse could blow. Unless of course you purchased a third party unit that has an external fuse. Then you can jsut replace the fuse and not have to worry about going out to buy Chinese garbage. lolz
but then again i bet this Droid 3 is made in china, oh well. I like it anyway

Slow Charging? + Non OEM MicroUSB

My Nexus 7's battery was dead at arrival. I'm trying to charge it up now and it's MOVING SO SLOW?
Am i the only one?
Also I tried charging with my phone's microusb cord (cuz it's WAY longer) and it wasn't charging at all? Did anybody have any luck using NON-OEM usb cords?
Its probably the cord. The Nexus 7 charger is 5 volts 2 AMPS which is higher than the usual 1 amp chargers. Just wait and see

Nexus 7 is apparently very finicky regarding what chargers and what cables will do the job - some of mine work (e.g. $4.74 Motorola http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004EYSKM8/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00 ) some don't (Griffin iPad charger for instance, which is a powerful charger and works for Everything else I've tried)
Along the same lines, if you have it attached to a generic car charger and are using it for GPS, the charger barely keeps up with power use.
Yes it charges slowly. Yes you have to use the charger that came with the unit.

That's better then my SGS2 phone. I had about 20% left on it, but needed to use it as a GPS on a business trip. Plugged it into a car charger, and loaded up Navigation. The phone indicated charging, but the battery level kept dropping (albeit a little slower). By the time we got to our destination (~30mins away) I only had 7% left.
Crazy.
Would the Nexus 7 charger be OK with my Galaxy Nexus or will there be issues? I don't need two chargers at the same time.

I charged my Gnex with the N7 charger two nights ago, had no issues but i don't know if it is safe.
As long as the voltages are the same, and the amps are = or > than what the device needs, you should be OK. The device will only pull the amperage it needs. Voltage is what needs to be the exact (but I don't think this matter over USB, since it's all 5v - matters more with generic A/C adapters). If you don't have enough amps, it could result in slow/failed charging, but too much doesn't matter.
It seems to picky with cables. I also used a longer USB I had lying around. I left it charging for 30 minutes. I came back and it only went up 1% I switched back to the cable that came with it and it started to charge it normally.
I'm not sure why its happening but its weird

The nexus 7 need "compatible" usb cables, i have one that is working great and it's for usb charging only, no data .
The nexus 7 battery is 4325 Mah so a 2Amp charger will charge the battery in a little more than 2 hours (calculate the 325mah over and add the standby battery discharging when you charge it while at ON)
So the tips are:
1. Find a good 2Amp usb charger
2. Find a compatible cable, try some no data cable or maybe usb3 or again try, try try...
Awesome Tablet
I picked up a 6 ft generic Micro USB cable from Amazon for around $2, and I've been using it to charge my Nexus 7 virtually since I bought it after it launched on the Google Play store, because it's much longer than the OEM Asus cord.
The problem though, it was hard to plug in, so I filed down the bumps [on the bottom of the connector, or, on the Nexus 7, the side facing you when you plug it in--because the N7's micro usb port is up side down ] a tad bit too much so now it's a little to lose. So sometimes when I adb into it, and move it a little bit, it will lose the PC connection [but never the charging connection] intermittently.
Also, it charges fine, except when I'm playing MC3, or Bad Piggies HD. With those apps, it will say Charging, but will actually slowly discharge [slower than on battery, so apparently there's not enough power to tread water, and it sinks slightly]. It's plays HD 720P mkv files fine [with MxPlayer], and stays fully charged at 100%.
Same thing here

My nexus takes about 7-8 hours to charge, and thats using the original charger that it came with. Used it now for a week without any improvement. Also my battery time with lowest backlight, gps off and so on is around 4-5 hours which feels abit low. wtf is going on?
Any usb charger should work.
The problem is the charge controler IC in the N7, it is REALLY picky with voltages.
My N7 OEM cord is a much heavier gauge then my NS or GN cord, on top of that the NS and GN cords are twice the length.
We had a really long thread on G+ about this, we even figured out the observer effect was screwing us when we had an ammeter on it.
TL;DR:
If the cord is too long or not heavy enough the N7 only pulls like 800mA (It can be less if the charger/cord is really ****, we had 300something mA with one combo)
The 2A OEM charger isn't 2A, but it's close enough.
microUSB plugs NEEDS to be 5mm or longer for them to mate in the plug properly, OEM is like 7mm
Some other crap I can't remember at 5am
So yeah, it's picky.
Use what it came with. It came with it for a reason.
Just got this in the mail from monoprice today and it's charging like a beauty.

I'm not completely sure, but 16 hours seems to be too much to me. I usually charge over night, so i guess it might be something around 8 hours.

I think so too!
I just wonder what is causing this... (1) some faulty chip in the tab itself, (2) faulty battery, (3) faulty Samsung cord or (4) faulty charger. No way to find out for sure, unless I return it to the shop and wait about 30 days (at best) while they figure that out and give their verdict
I hope someone has\had this problem and knows what exactly was causing it.

the last 5% take forever. That's usual behaviour for charging. Check out how long it takes to charge to 90% or maybe 95%. Should not take longer than 6 hours. If it does then maybe try a different charger or reset your tab to make sure it's no software bug.
Hard to tell the real source of error, sorry...
Are you ABSOLUTELY certain to be using the original, for your tab, charger, with a 2 amp output.
With such charger, it should be about 4 - 4.5 hours.
But if you are using a generic, or something made for an avg phone, with .5A output... Well 16h seems normal

I am using Samsung banded charger that came with the Tab.
Sometimes it does charge fast, but most of the time it either charges very slow, as though it were charging from USB, or doesn't recognize the charger, or even says it's established MTP-connection...

using the charger that came with the tab, you should get charging times around the 4/5 hours. HC 3.1 and 3.2.

Does the cable work properly when you use it for USB operations (file transfer, etc.)?
If so, then maybe the charger is broken/faulty. Samsung (in its infinite wisdom ) put a resistor network in their chargers so that the tab/phone can recognize a charger vs a usb connection ... or maybe just to make money from over-engineered accessories. who knows? However, if that resistor network has failed (or the cable is broken, hence the question above about USB operations) then the charger will present as a USB port rather than as a Samsung power source.
Oh! Another data point to consider: does gently wiggling/straightening the cable when it's connected cause the behavior to change?

There isn't much difference with ICS 4.0.4 US rom in my opinion. And it is still picky what chargers it accepts when it's turned on (DX.COM charger works for me). I usually turn the TAB off and use a stronger charger, but it still takes a LONG time to charge in my opinion. I do an overnight charge as much as I can.
Did an overnight charge with the Tab turned off, and it charged to 100%, finally. But when it's on (even in airplane mode) it only charged to 60% last night (took 12 hours!).
Weird)
i always charging my tab from 0 or 2-5% to 100% either when powered on or off and it always takes 5 to 5 1/2 hours. no more and no less with default charger set.
first i thought it was taking too long but when i saw this thread i'm glad its only 5 hours

Common belief (knowledge) is that this is not the best for a lithium ion battery... It increases the wear, gets it to lose capacity sooner... If possible, charge your battery often, like as soon as you can below 75%. Only occasionally drop battery to 0%. IIRC, there's a good website called "battery university" talking about that

Thanks, used your post to fix mine. I ended up replacing the cable and not the charger. I'm using an original charger with a new cable now.
I am seeing same problem with my brother's 7300 tab as well. Its taking around 10 or more hrs to charge.
Anybody got tablet replaced in warranty for the same reason? Even with Nexus 7 original 2 A charger its taking too much time. With samsung original charger also it was taking similar time so i am sure problem is with the tab only.
4-5 hours on mine.
Sent from my GT-P7310 using xda app-developers app
Many Galaxy tab 8.9 owners have reported experiencing long charge times to the tune of about 16 hours, me included.
Solution:
Plug in the charger to the tab very very slowly. The charge icon in the system tray has a lightning symbol on it aka normal charge.
Connecting it at normal speed results to the charging icon in the system tray having a cross on it. It then charges very very slowly.
Why should we need gymnastics to normally charge our tablets? Ask Samsung.

Charging Issues, special cable and charger needed

Just picked up this phone and I love it. On stock 4.1.2 I have charging issues where the phone will only charge with a very good charger capable of putting out >1A and a beefier cable.
Which rules out charging from computer and some shoddier chargers. This is a deal breaker for me.
I will go ahead with rooting and upgrading OS to custom, if someone can verify that this will be a non issue after completing that? Thanks.
Edit: further when streaming netflix and charging, the chargers can't keep up with about 30% screen brightness. Will also be resolved?
how many chargers don't output 1a or greater these days? im using a htc hd2 charger that's nearly 4 years old and a generic usb cable and have no issues charging the phone

Well for the second point I'm even using a 2A charger and and its charged 3% in 2 hours, with netflix, which seems more like a software issue.
and have you rebooted the phone? I had issues like that on my old galaxy note, a reboot often fixed it due to other processes and apps running in the background
I also am struggling to find a decent cable to charge my phone with.
The supplied cable charges it very quickly, but is a little too short to comfortably use the phone while it's charging.
I have purchased a couple of longer cables that seem to be of decent quality (24 awg), but the time to charge the phone fully increases dramatically when using them.
This is all when using the supplied charger.

Tried the reboot, still the same issue. I think I've realized the problem and it looks like software.
I have a kill-a-watt meter. With screen on, and netflix streaming, for some reason its only drawing 3.3W. @ 5V this is only .66A. Clearly too low to charge with. However when I turn the screen off, after a few seconds draw goes to 8.2W, ~1.6A. Now I'm not concerned with staying on the stock OS, however do people still have trouble with this on custom OS?
Sweird...I've never noticed any slow charging on my 6606. I've used a few old chargers from HTC , nexus and Samsung. My Motorola Bluetooth charger however doesn't charge very fast at all but I'd expect it not to.
Its not the best to use ur phone to much while charging tbh. It might kill u battery quickly and damage the phone itself.

Does anyone else have trouble charging this phone on other chargers?

So the battery life has been great, and I haven't had to use any other charger other than the OEM for a while. The other day I was out with friends and I took out my car charger (2A) that I hadn't needed since I got the flex because I just don't have to charge my phone like how I used to with my note 2. So anyways, I took it out because I knew I wouldn't be back home for a while and I would have to charge my phone outside the house for the first time ever.
I connected the charger and I got a "slow charge" message on the top, like if I had connected it to a usb port.. ok?....this charger has charged many devices so I know it works. It has even charged tablets, so I thought it was strange. No problem though right? I'll just charge it for a bit at my friends house and just watch my usage throughout the night. As soon as I connected it to my friends OEM samsung 2A Note 2 charger I thought everything was fine until I checked it again about 45 minutes later when we were about to leave. It had charged maybe 1% in those 45 minutes!
So the night passed and I was ok but ever since then it has got me thinking. I have connected several other chargers and they all act the same, the phone charges at maybe 500mAh, not even that sometimes, but with the OEM charger it works like normal.
Anyone else experiencing this problem?
I have experience this with cheap usb chargers. But I also have anywhere from 5 -10 between my house and work and they are all from Samsung and BlackBerry. And they all work just fine.

I just wanted to update you guys. So I shut down the phone and let it sit for a bit and turned it back on. The note 2 charger now charges the flex at an acceptable rate and it seems that maybe it was just glitched. Next time I'll be sure to just turn off and on the phone first if it happens again.

I remember reading somewhere that this phone uses USB 3.0, and the rep told me that using a car charger may trickle charge the battery and cause irreparable damage.. Looking at my OEM cable for my last phone, the S3, the G Flex cable is thicker.. I make sure to only use the one that came with the phone, call me paranoid lol
