Which ROM / Kernel are you on? Are you sure the battery is actually charging? If possible try another battery / your battery in another Note.. Are you charging from USB or Wall charger?
I had an issue with both my girlfriend's and my Note where they showed the charging icon when plugged in, yet they were not charging at all, Issue was resolved by changing the USB cable I was using from the wall plug to the phone.. Solved it for both phones..

i think this either means the battery is tonked or the charger is tonked :silly: Check with a different charger.. If it is USB type charger, change the cable and check.. Even with a different charger if it is the same, change the battery and check.. Hope this helps

In my case I fixed it by running a small file on the battery contacts on the device (very carefully) and on the battery. They seem pretty susceptible to moisture.
My battery was showing Over Voltage and as if the USB charger was connected when in fact it wasn't.
The above fixed it for me!
Cheers!

If you are on an overclocked version of kernel try changing to std version.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J409JCM/ref=pe_385040_30332200_TE_item

Was looking to buy the same item. Let us know how it is. Specifically, if really charges ~10,000mAhr worth of battery. Thanks!

Got it in the mail yesterday, nice looking packaging, the instructions are a bit strange, think it was translated but not proof read, but not a big deal since there is just one button.
The qi charging is pretty neat, slower than ordinary chargers (all qi chargers are limited) but so much nicer to use the phone without having to plug and unplug device. Both usb ports claim 2.1a, one labeled Samsung, one Apple. Everything seems to work fine, will get better idea today after letting it full charge overnight.

How many times can you can fully charge your phone using this?

Depends if you use the usb or wireless, usb is roughly 90 percent effective, so that works mean only 9,000 mAh, so about twice fully charging the droid, wireless is roughly 70 percent effective, that's about 1 full charge and three quarters charge.
That's on paper, haven't fully tested yet, doubt I'll ever will, like knowing I have a fully charged device ready to go. I just charged my nexus 7 wifi from half full, charges pretty darn fast. Love the wireless charging, no need to plug phone in, slower charge but that's expected. It has worked with every device we own, 2 iPad's,2 iPhones,3 android phones,2 android tablets and a kindle, yes we own a bunch of electronics, three kids plus the wife and me, the biggest kid of them all!

Can it be used in a "bypass" mode as a dock? In other words, have it plugged into the wall and charge devices without it constantly charging the internal battery of the qi device.

Yes it can, it is different from my ankor 12,000 mAh external battery, if it's plugged in to charge it will charge it's battery and whatever you have plugged in, this one seems to only charge the phone when plugged in, when the phone is full it charges the battery.
Now that could be wrong, the charging lights on the battery can be confusing what is actually going on, it could be charging the external battery and whatever is plugged in, the device manual looks like it was crudely translated,I hear the company is releasing a new pdf with updated instructions, either way it doesn't effect me.
One of the best features over other batteries is a normal micro usb is all you need to charge it, the ankor has it's own brick, lose or break it the battery is useless. Really love this, owned several packs and this one goes everywhere with me, my Droid hasn't gone below 55% , just too easy to charge wireless, set the phone down, hit a button it charges, no cord to undo to use the phone, awesome

Just looked at the online faq, there is pass thru charging, plus I found out it has two modes by long pressing the only button, red light on wireless on, red light off,usb charging only, here is from the faq
Pass-Through Wired Charging: While the power bank is connected to a USB charger, long press the power button so that only the red LED is on. You can now use the USB1 (1A) jack to charge a device (USB2 is disabled due to insufficient current).Pass-Through Wireless Charging: While the power bank is connected to a USB charger, long press the power button so that only the red LED is on. Place a mobile device on top of the power bank, and align the center of its wireless receiver with that of the wireless transmitter within 2 cm (0.6 inch).

I don't know anything about qi charging and am just learning. Are there others out there like this? This looks really nice I'm just curious for comparison.

Brand new - not charging

Hey guys,
I just goy myself a new LG Watch Urbane.
I excitedly plugged it in, but here's the result for the last hour and a half:

Did I get a broken cradle? Any ideas before I return this?

This happened to me when brand new. When in the cradle, try pushing down the watch a little on the side that has the charging pins. This worked for me.

Charging problem
After a two-month use, suddenly it started not to charge and there is big battery image on the screen.
Can anyone tell me what the exact problem is, is it from the watch or cradle?
Thanks in advance.
I could not post the image but the image I have is the same battery symbol within the above picture but full screen without any text.

just got this watch today myself and i am having the same issue? anyone with a fix?
thanks

did anyone find a fix for this?

Same issue here. Brand new out of the box.

Same situation here, after start all updates connecting to phone ect battery lvl goes down to 78%,
when checking after 2h it was 74% but watch switched off suddenly.
Started charging and it goes from 0% but v.slow, after 2h 5% but then after 10min shown 100%
strange now is 98% but will obserw why and what is wrong.

I'm having the same issue. My BRAND NEW Urbane has been charging for 2 hours and it's on 3%. This is AFTER it dropped to NOTHING from 78% earlier today. It's telling me it has an update to install but can't do it until it reaches 40%. I hope mine corrects itself like yours did, I'm so bummed out. I just got it today.

Brand new urbane here. Arrived completely dead, can't set up until 20%, been at 2% for an hour. Painfully slow.

I know the cause with my similar issue
It's the power supply. I swapped it out for an old Motorola charger I love had for a year's. Same amperage and voltage (+.1). It's charging, again.

Powering off and on Droid Turbo with broken power button

Power button does not work but i can still use the phone by using an app to shut off the screen and the hand pass to open up the screen. But my battery life has lessened a lot as I suspect too many apps are functioning in the background that disappeared when I was able to shut off the phone completely while charging overnight. Is there anyway to shut off the phone once in a while and restart it?

I know two ways to re-start it once it's shut off and charged...
1) buy a Qi wireless charger.
Putting it on a Qi charging pad will automatically start the phone (if there's enough battery charge.)
So, actually charge the phone with a turbo charger plug -- then when ready to turn on the phone place it on the Qi wireless charger. I'm not the first to suggest it:
Power button clicks but no response

Imagine you have figured this out by now - but if so then posting for others. Quick fix to turn the phone on when the battery runs out is to use a Qi charger. At this point - have not rooted this phone - I just have to let the battery run out to turn off. I do plan to take apart to try and fix but the above will work.

The Qi Wireless Charger works whether your phone is charged or not.. I went to the Verizon store and asked to see the charger demo'd... I placed my powered off, Fully Charged, Broken -power- button- Droid Turbo on the charger and it Came to life.
I immediately configured the phone with an alternate power button app to control the screen on/off. FYI None of the apps I found will actually power the phone on from off, but will control the screen once it is powered.
I actually tried everything in this forum short of the disassembly of the phone but that was next... the program download.. Reboot Fast Boot; I couldn't get it to download correctly. after about 3 hours I quit... drove to the store and the rest is history. So Glad Not to have Lost everything!..

As for shutting it off, there's probably apps to do that. If not, then just let the battery drain and die.
2) Here's also a bootloader method:
Semseddin said:
Assuming your phone is powered off , Hold volume down key and connect charger cable. You will get into bootloader screen. Disconnect charger cable and connect phone to PC and use the following fastboot command to boot your device without actually using power button for once.
fastboot reboot

I only use the triple-coil tilt-style charger pads, as you don't have to worry about positioning the phone whatsoever -- it will hit a charger coil -- but those are still $15 - $20, and you don't need that for your purpose of simply turning on the phone. A single-coil will work, you just have to position it right (with the phone about 2/3 off the hockey puck)
also speaking of apps -- here's this:
Power Button to Volume Button
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teliapp.powervolume&hl=en
but it only works to turn off/on the screen when your phone is ON.

twrp
if you are rooted with twrp, the twrp manager in play store will either boot to recovery or shut phone down completely.

That, plus the Qi wireless charger will be good workaround.
Shut down and power up.

Question Possibility to lower charging speed / automatically stop the charging? (Without root)

Is there any way to automatically stop charging at, for example, 80% without root?
I would also be interested in determining for myself how fast the device is charged, as I use the same two 65 watt cables for everything (laptops, tablet, phones, headphones, ...) and the speed on this phone doesn't exactly feel healthy. Perhaps it is possible to give the required permissions via adb or twrp.

Stopping charging requires a device that has a hardware switch. No software will do it by itself. I recently read that such models have appeared, so look for information.
As for charging, smart chargers adjust the charging current according to the request from the battery controller.

Anyone knows if this option really works ?
From time to time I'm charging the phone overnight with slow charger, 5V, 1A. And sometimes on a morning I have 80% charged only... Will have to try a few more times to confirm. Or it is applying only for continuous charging ?

I came to xiaomi from a sony 5 II and it had a function called "Battery Care", that would stop the charging at 80%, the battery is still in a very good condition, after two years.

Its a hidden menu in miui, can be opened by installing activity launcher and search for optimized charging, its there under security, i guess by default its on.

There's an app for that but i guess it needs root and 65W charger is not always charging at same power, phone will draw the charge according to its battery level.

Just root. You lose nothing. I use "AccA" to manage battery with root.

It is possible to set a charge percentage limit , but on custom rom , not Miui.
I recently switched to Evolution X rom (A12L based) and there's an option for that.
