My Note 5 , bought it a month ago, it doesn't charge anymore, is dead. I plug in the charger and it only shows the lightning bolt, but no led light. I can enter download mode but only with the wall charger, with the usb to PC, but doesn't charge neither, it turns off when in download mode so I can't use Odin. I think it's software because it doesn't vibrate when I try to turn it on so what should I do?
I think you have a faulty usb port. You should go to samsung or where you have bought it and have them give a check

Oh well I think the faulty one is your battery.
I had this problem too. Take it by a store to check it out and initiate a replacement. Mine wouldn't charge on wired nor wireless charger. So, the charging circuitry or battery had failed. USB itself was fine.

Greeting to XDA-community.
I have a problem. I don't have any opportunity to use regular charger for my G1. So I used charging via usb, but when I have turned on Wifi (ad-hoc to connect with laptop) and started to use G1 heavily it just dropped dead (battery is 0%). As I understand charging via usb is less then amount of power G1 uses during heavy use. But now I can't charge the phone at all. I have killed my second battery (stock too) the same way. The only thing that I see when connect to usb is that LED is red, sometimes light is pulsating, but can't turn the phone on. I also use to different source of charging. The problem I can do this only from USB port . Did somebody have such problem? I need someway to charge it...
Thanks for any help
You could try a powered USB hub, but if youa re going to buy something, why not just buy a charger?

I am using smth like this, a charger for mp3 player with 5.2v. Doesn't help
I am in Europe for couple of weeks, charger isn't working here due to different plugs, so I didn't bring it with me (but should , you can buy adapter US-EU plug without problem), thought charging via USB is working well, but it don't.
Recently my X1 cannot be charged with USB cable through wall outlet & even car charger , but able to charge with USB cable through PC.
Anyone do encounter the same problem?
Well that's a strange one - how long was it connected to the wall?
Without getting into the discussion about volts and amps provided, and amps drawn by the phone, any method should charge.
In terms of speed, I would think the wall would charge fastest (see above), and the USB slowest.
Did the phone show on the top bar, the charging icon when attached to the wall? Or after a period of time there was no increment in the % charge showing??
If the battery was down to 0%, you probably wouldn't see an immediate increase in the % charge. The % charge is orientative, especially at both ends of the scale.

I do agree with you. Charging with wall outlet is faster. Therefore, normally I'm charging my X1 with wall outlet, unless in office, will use PC USB.
Top bar never show charging icon, but once I charge it with PC USB, the charging icon show up immediately.
It seems like no power for the USB when connected to the wall outlet. I've tested with battery removed, plugged in USB cable connected to wall outlet, there is no charging illumination light. I cannot power on it.
I tried to recall, it happened after I used a USB charger for my MP3 player. The next day, when I tried to charge with car charger. To my surprise, the USB connection notification showed up (I do remember, while charging with wall outlet or car charger, it will never prompt me for USB connection).
I don't think, it is the ROM issue. Try a few ROM still having the same problem.
From now, I got to live with PC USB :|
X1 Charging problem
I have same problem. I can not charge via both USB-PC and Wall. In order to charge the phone, I have to switch it off and then charge it.
This happened after I used CHEAP car charger from dealexteme.com
Now everytime I want to charge my phone, I have to switch it off.

I'm using the original SE charger!? I would not think the problem with the charger, but my X1 was screwed by the incompatible MP3 USB charger
Yep same with me, not sure why mine started doing that though, I never got used a cheap charger. Maybe its the rom... I am trying a new one now.

it's not caused by the ROM, I'm very sure. I've installed different ROM. The problem still exist.
I am having a similar problem. When the phone completely discharges , i am unable to charge it with any power adapter or even car charger. I have to initially charge the phone using a PC , then after the power is around 15% , then the phone gets charged with a normal adapter.. any suggestions??
same problem. It happends when the battery is completely discharged.
what I do is use a charger w/ low amp rating (.1) and plug it in for at least 10-20min. Give it some time, it will start charging after a while (indicated by the blinking lights). After that, you can turn it on and charge it normally
I had a similar problem twice.Both times I solved it by replacing the charger.
the same happen to me and i have another issue
my xperia doesnt work as usb mass storage!!!
the solution was buying another charger but..the usb mass storage issue still not working as a flash drive!!

It works with Z1 too. Thanks a lot!
I guess something goes wrong with battery controller
is there a way to just use the usb cable like when I plug the gt into my computer to get it to charge?

Try to turn off your tab then plug to your computer usb

Even though the icon looks like it thinks the tab isn't charging, it does actually charge anyways. Leave it plugged in overnight with the screen off, and you'll see. My Nook Color does the same thing. It's just that charging with normal 500ma USB is slower than the 2A regular charger so they want to discourage you from charging that way.
Hello guys! this is my first android phone, so far I'm really happy but, It only charges via USB plugged to a laptop or pc, when I try to charge it the normal way, plugged to the wall, it tries to charge but then it shows nothing on the battery icon, like if it were dead or something. I have to charge it via pc or latopt always, and I would like if you can give me a help here, maybe is something I'm doing wrong.
Thanks in advance!

Did you try with a different wall charger? Perhaps yours isn't good. I can't really see why else it wouldn't work.

So are you saying that when you plug into the wall charger it doesn't charge at all or it just doesn't show any animations indicating that its charging?
If you go to settings>battery while its plugged into the wall charger does it show its charging in there? If it does then you are fine. I have two wall chargers at home and for whatever reason it never shows that the phone is charging short of going into battery settings but they do charge my phone.

When I plug the captivate to the wall charger, it starts the animation like if wre charging, but 2 mins later it just stops... I tried what you did and no, it's not charging... I tried with 4 different chargers already but no luck. When I plug it to the usb it charges normally, only wall charger is not working... Since it charges normally via USB, I thought maybe was an OS issue, really dont know...
Thanks for your concern! :good:
Ok, i searched the S3mini forum for this problem, but nothing exactly came up...
So, since few days ago, my phone does not recognize the wall charger when i plug it in...However it recognizes the USB cable to PC just fine and i can charge that way, but it takes allot longer...the interesting part is that,while charging and connected to PC, if i take off the USB to PC cable and put the wall charger right away, then it recognizes it and charges fine...its like the phone have forgotten the wall charger and it needs to be reminded through USB to PC cable first so it can recognizes it
The problem started the same day when a friend was visiting me and he used my wall charger to charge his phone(older low-end samsung phone), so is it possible he broke the wall charger somehow? but then again the wall charger works when i do the trick above...
Should i go to a store and buy a new wall charger? and since i dont have any samsung centre anywhere near me, im gonna be forced to buy a probably good quality wall charger with 0.7A output, but no samsung original...i dont wanna screw up my battery and i need the wall charger since i travel alot and dont have PC near me most of the time
Oh and if i shut down the phone and connect the wall charger, well then that white circle that shows first, it stays there for alot longer time then usual and then it shows the battery indicator and charges normally...damn technology this days

Hi,
if PC USB is loading normal and the wall charger doesn't this sounds like your wall charger does not have enough power. Buy a more quality one and your problem should be solved.
