My ATT Note 2 took a turn for the worst when I went to charge it tonight. I installed the Jedi-x rom about a month ago and had a couple issues every now and then getting it to charge, but nothing a reboot would not fix.
Now I can not get it to charge at all or connect to my computer.
My fiance has a note 2 as well, her cable/battery/and everything will not charge it either.
I have flashed Blackout
I have flahed the stock i317 kernal
i have reset battery cache in recovery
The device does detect when in download mode. Also with the phone off, when plugging in the power cable, the little red light does flash faintly. What would I have to flash to get back to 100% stock or fix this issues with not charging?
Update: Did a full Odin Firmware reset and still was not able to get a charge or any activity computer wise besides in Download/Odin mode.
Have you tried re-installing Samsung Drivers?
Also does your GF have the same issue with her Note 2 not charging on your PC?
When you plug your Note into another PC, does it charge?
If not, then it might be your charging port (on your Note 2)

Sorry, it's late when I was typing this, her's DOES charge. I used her phone to test my cable and battery, and it does work. What gets me is download mode works. I don't know if it's a separate thing for charging, but it worked fine the other day.
No other PC charges
No other wall place charges
No other cable charges
No other battery charges
Sounds like the charging port, a known issue with the first note. I would be taking it back to where you bought it.

Yeah seems like a defective charging port.
Or make sure the Micro USB port on your device is clean. You can try some compressed air to make sure there’s no dust in there blocking the connection. If it doesnt help, then return your device to the Place of purchase for a possible replacement.
If it's the charging port then you should be able to test it by moving the cord up & down and back and forth and it should hook up at some point.

Did what all of you suggested, and ended up sending it back. Then last night, I was like "eh I'll try it again" plugged it in, and it instantly started charging. So, whatever, I sent it back anyway. Thanks for the ideas guys.
Hi,
Yesterday my new (~2 months old) Note2 stopped charging. tried 2 different chargers, 2 different cables connected to PC. No reaction (no beeps, no led, battery icon not changed to flash).
Tried removing and putting the battery back in. No change.
On the other hand, when connected to the PC, the PC identified the connection and allowed file transfer. Later the battery died completly. I succeeded in booting to download mode, and again PC identified the USB device.
Switching the phone on with no battery gave no results either (would not turn on).
This leads me to a conclusion that the USB port is probably OK. Could it just be a dead battery? (according to its label, the battery was made on Nov 29th, 2012).
I will be able to switch battery tomorrow with another Note 2. Anything else I can try till then?
Using custom recovery and stock rom.
Thanks in advance,
Idan

U already tried all the possible steps... Did you try turning the phone on when connected to a wall mount charger ?

Yeah, with or without battery... no reaction from the phone.
Have you tried a lower powered device to see if that works? Some usb ports don't have full power output, as some laptops portray.

I've tried 2 USB ports on a desktop PC. didn't work.
I've connected it without the SIM and SD to an old nokia charger (0.7ma), no sign of a change but after ~ 1 hour I noticed the red led turned on - turning the device on showed 44% charged.
Now I am too puzzled. any ideas?
This is exactly what happened to me. .. it was the motherboard. I brought an external battery charger, charged the battery full so I could use the phone. Then used triangle away and odin to flash stock rom, and sent it in for warranty service. This seems to be becoming a common fault with the note 2 now....ive seen a few thread recently.

Hey there, my sgn2 n7100 had the same problem before, I tried everything, even disassembled the phone apart, but it was still won't turn on or charge, won't be recognized by pc or Mac. One day when I repaired my mom's iPhone 4 touch screen, I found out that the USB port was so dusty. I thought may be it's all because the USB port was dusty then I picked up my sgn2 and used a soft tooth brush with a little pure alcohol to clean every corner of the USB port. Guess what? After 15 minutes I connected my phone with the USB wall charger, my sgn2 just started to charge again. Trust me guys, try to use a soft brush to clean the USB port before you give your phone to the repair store or somewhere else. Good luck!! Hope it helps.
Same here, i manage to purchase note 2 for 300 euros! And when I put it to charge nothing!I went to download mode and then turn it on normal and its charging! Also happend the same with my s3 so eighter its a charging problems or seems to be one software issues

@scufutz I could guarantee the symptoms described by the OP is NOT software issue, as I have an N7100 with same problem and I managed to flash new kernel and still it does not charge even powered off. Download mode connects perfect.
I'll check if this cleaning method, or if its a circuit prob.
Read on... before you just see the post and start flaming.
Been having a helluva trouble with my Galaxy Note II since a month now.
It all started a day in April when I was on a weekend break and my charger just stopped working. Not the charger, but the charger port. I even tried a few other chargers and none of them worked, whereas my charger worked on other phones.
So after the weekend without a phone I come back home and read some posts on XDA about moisture in the USB port. I blow dry the port with the hair dryer and things start working again. After a couple of days of flawless working, again the problem comes up. But it is nothing that a few 'frustrating' 20 minutes of fidgeting will not solve and so goes life.
There have been a few days where it has gotten so annoying that the phone simply wont charge no matter what I do and which angle I place the phone (yoga for phones, anyone?). The phone has even switched off completely at times. Yesterday was one of those days when it simply wouldn't charge.
So again I spend a lot of time on XDA and Google and what makes consensus is that there is moisture in the USB port, or there is something wrong (loose connection) with the USB port and it needs repair.
Few facts before we get to that, and my point about this being a software problem.
1. The charger, when it works, works flawlessly irrespective of whether it is on the table or hanging by the charger from the power outlet. I expect that in case there is a loose connection, the position becomes very delicate.
2. The charger, when it works after moving the wire around for a while, keeps disconnecting occasionally even though it has been placed on a stable table surface and no one is disturbing the table. After some seconds, it connects back automatically and begins charging.
2. The phone works without any problem whatsoever when I plug it into the Samsung car charger - never once do I remember it not working
Now here are my findings from yesterday after I almost broke the phone in frustration.
1. On a whim, I decided to do a factory reset of my device. After fidgeting with the phone for 4-5 hours and it not charging, it magically started charging after the factory reset.
2. After the reset and a 1 hour charge, I updated all the default software on the phone - including 1 samsung update, 1 allshare update, and 1 push service update. Within a few minutes of this update, the charger started showing the 'loose connection' problems again. I also noticed that at times the phone screen would switch on for no reason - for only 2-3 seconds.
3. Again I reset the phone, and force stopped some samsung services and disabled as many samsung services as I could and I could notice consistent charging.
I subsequently installed some apps (not going full out as I want to observe the behaviour) and occasionally the charging stops. I then go into the application manager and shut down some samsung services and more often than not the charging starts working.
After all this circus, I believe there is something wrong with the Samsung services, the phone device drivers, or the MTP service. It does something when it detects a cable being inserted and causes a malfunction of the phone. This is what it looks like to me.
In fact the same problem happens when I plug in the phone to the PC too. The connection keeps breaking and the phone is just not usable from the PC. However the interesting thing is that when the USB / MTP breaks, the charge is still working and the orange light is glowing.
So, finally the XDA relevant question. Can you guys help me find out if it really is a software problem or just some strange co-incidence? Are there any traces that I can pull out to see which app/service is causing the problem? There are many apps/services that I would like to disable, but they are greyed out - is there anything that I can do about them?
Mind you that my phone is not rooted - so all the usually available apps might not work for me. I use the phone as a corporate device and I can't violate rules by rooting the phone.
Any tips, suggestions, ideas, flames?
Hi I'm having the exact same symptoms as you I wondering if you got to the bottom of the problem? Many thanks

Are you sure it's not the cable? Because many stock cables tend to be crappy, just try another one if you haven't. It doesn't have to be just loose connection.
Works here fine without issues, so doubt it's software. I rooted mine almost immediately, so can't say much about that though.
Ive tried 3 different cables and every time I plug one in s voice launches lol

Could be a problem with newer Samsung phones and their construction. I have a friend who has a Galaxy S3 (not Note 2) who's gone through FOUR phones so far -- all of them with the same problem of the charging port dying after a while. T-Mobile's insurance company is starting to give him dirty looks, poor guy ...
He gets intermittent charging before the phone stops charging completely. Now his phone is hooked up to the charger constantly while he's at home because of battery issues, so it's possible he's putting excessive strain on the charging port. My thinking is that it's a hardware issue rather than software, but who knows with these things.
mudge
my friend's note 2 having quite similar problem, every time plug in the cable, the phone start charging after some minutes. not the problem of cable, i tested the cable and charger with my phone. Plan to send it to service center.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Exact same problem for N7100 (international version)
I have been facing the exact problem described above. The service center has blamed water logging to be the issue. But seriously doubt it since the port seems to be working fine when it really functions. Also i noticed that when i restart my phone few times it starts to work fine(without me touching the charger cable or the charger itself). I guess its a lot to do with the software than the hardware
note 2 Gt-n7105 bootloops, with charger doesnt boot loop
Hi,
My note 2 seems to work perfectly fine when i connect my charger. But when I disconnect the charger when its full charge it turns off.
When I turn the phone on without the charger it comes on the screen where it shows the "samsung galaxy note 2 gt-n7105" its begins to boot loop.
Can someone please give me some solutions.
Has anyone ever solve this? I have the same on my S4....
I too have the exact problem of phone getting connected and then disconnected automatically in few minutes.
I fixed mine with the same issue
Power usage
Hi,
I first saw this when I was using my sat nav app in the car, I turned off the Performance optimised when plugged in option in favour of a lower power option and the problem went away. As I get more applications on my phone I see this more and more.
Could this be the power usage of the phone? The charge will supply 500ma, if the phone is already using a good portion of that the battery will not charge, so the phone shows the charge intermittently as the phone uses slightly more and slightly less power when the cpu, etc wakes and sleeps. More apps running uses more time on the cpu so more power. And of course as the battery gets older this would display itself more.
Just an idea based on what I've seen...
My Note 5 just started doing this, and only on the car charger using the Adaptive Fast Charge port. Charges for 2 seconds, off for 2 seconds, charges for 2 seconds. Using the normal port it charges fine, just slower. I have the Adaptive Fast Charge adapter at home and in the car, it works fine at home.
usb A3 usb issues
for mine it is intermittently not being recognised in file manager and also charging and then not charging round and round making beeping noises. This started when I dropped it partially in a bowl of oxtail soup. At the time it wouldn't recognise any cable at all. After I cleaned it with a cotton wool bud it was working again for ages but every now and then it wouldn't be explorable in windows. Now its acting up again, very difficult to get it to detect in windows, it starts charging when I plug in the cable but not in file explorer.
It's a real pain because its a samsung a3 which is difficult to open. I think really I will have to get it repaired - opened up and cleaned inside properly or have the usb port replaced.
I've watched many videos about mtp drivers and cleaning and bending the usb port a bit etc etc for many of you I think cleaning the port and/or bending the usb tab a bit would help, good luck.
Stop posting your damn problems so some one can answer it. Jesus look at the posts and see if there is an answer.l cuz you asking makes no difference because u have to scroll to the bottom to see an answer any ways. So just w8. Also ya it's software thing.... Samsung kinda sucks but what the hay I love them anyway even tho thay, including the expencive ones, are crap
So suddenly my note 2 running tweaked has started charging real slow then all off a sudden will not charge at all. Ive tried several chargers and now have noticed with or without the battery i can enter only download mode and it will show up on odin but not charge the battery. as soon as i try to restart instead of entering download mode it will try and start but just shut down. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas or has seen this issue? thanks. so considering it will enter odin is it possibly a battery issue,although it will only go into download mode nothing else? thanks again
The issue is not the ROM, I can tell you that much.
I would suggest flashing the stock kernel. If that does not help the issue, you need a new battery. 100% positive. I say that because you claim you have tried other chargers.
i cant check but can anyone else confirm the phone wont work without battery in with it plugged into laptop

awesome i am currently only 6500 miles from home in south korea.......seems like samsung is pretty popular here. lol everyone has a note2 here i swear. gonna find a battery and hopefully it solves the issue.
I'm having a sort of similar issue.
This is a brand new issue for me. I've been rooted running Jedi X-14 for about 2 months or so now. I went on vacation to Guatemala and that's when the issues started arising. I brought along the same charger I used here back in the states, and it worked fine the first day or two, then new things started happening. It started taking about 5-10 seconds for the Note to realize the charger was plugged in. Then when the charger was plugged in the bottom of the screen (actual touch screen) started becoming a bit unresponsive and laggy. The phone no longer charged as fast as it used to. Then sometimes I would plug it in, and it wouldn't actually charge...it would make the noise recognizing something has been plugged in, but would say "Please Connect charger". If the phone completely died this was almost a guarantee and I would need to plug/unplug/plug until the dead battery icon changed into the charging battery icon.
I'm back in the states now, haven't had a chance to reset/install a new rom or anything, and my phone earlier tonight went dead. Spent a good 2 minutes fiddling with it, it eventually turned on, said no charger was inserted, and turned off. Since then I have not been able to get it on. As soon as I plug it in it shows dead battery, and very rarely it will start to boot up the battery charging symbols (battery symbol with green bar moving), but even if it did, it would do it for 1-3 seconds and shut off.
I'm able to get into Recovery Mode/Download Mode, and the phone will actually stay on as long as it's on the charger (wall outlet).
It's not the battery, as I have another official Note 2 battery (at work currently, and I switched them the other day, to see if the other battery was the issue). Also I have different USB cords/chargers, and they all give the same issue.
From CWM Recovery I was able to wipe Cache/Factory reset the phone, but it still does not boot up. Any advice is appreciated. I can probably get it on when I get my other battery which is near fully charged at work, but I won't be at work for another 2 days or so, so I'm looking for a fix so I can have a working phone in the meantime. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I was able to charge the phone while in recovery mode to about 10%...It then turned on...after a few minutes however the charger just stopped charging the phone. Tried another charger same thing. Tried both chargers with an s3 I have, and they work perfectly fine. Even going back to recovery mode won't charge it anymore.
I was on vacation in Central America and the same thing happened to me. It works fine in the states now.

Maybe its the oversea power grid? If you are using just a wall converter (US to Wherever) and still using your american AC adapter, you have to realize the power grids arent as clean or as constant as they are here in the states and can actually ruin an AC charger. Can you charge it via your PC using the USB cable? I know the stock Kernel has a near trickle charge though but still, it might be enough to charge it for use.
Something to keep in mind, the S3 has a lower power draw than the note 2. The screen alone on the note2 can draw more than 600Mah which is more than a standard USB adapter can output. Thats not counting the draw on the battery from cpu frequency or radios.
Also I can also assure you that bad power grounds cause a touchscreen to act up. I have an iconia a500 that acts up in the same way with a generic charger, yet, with the stock charger it works fine. It has less power filtering in its charging circuitry. I still have ungrounded outlets in my house which cause the issue. Too much interference.
Just a guess as both you and ryan are experiencing similar issues and are both away from home.

I figured maybe my charger from the US I had brought to Guatemala had broken...when I got back to the States, I bought a Micro USB charger from one of those vending machines in the airport (says it's a 5V2 1A wall charger- 2.1A output)... Having tried different chargers, batteries and outlets, I can only assume it's something with the Hardware no? I was able to reset the phone, and installed Jedi Master 14 to replace Jedi X14, to see maybe if something with the ROM was faulty, and that didn't help.
Phone no longer charges in CWM Recovery like it did last night. Phone turns off, and has that dead battery symbol on the screen (empty battery with a loading circular icon on it). It will no longer go any further.
Tried charging thru my computer to the same effect... worst case scenario I have to do a warranty exchange, however I'd like to avoid it as I believe T-Mobile no longer offers the White Note 2 and I don't like the titanium colored one, I'd have to un-root/stock rom/Triangle Away, and then re-root new phone (I'm a complete N00b at this stuff so it's time consuming for me to do), and honestly I'd just to avoid it if at all possible.

Well, its tough to say without using a multimeter and checking a few points, but, a power spike could fry the charging circuit in the phone. Thats the worst case scenario. Only thing you could do if thats the case would be to get a second battery and external charger.

Luckily both can be gotten from eBay for under usd $20. Its probably worth checking asurion to see if they have white ones in Stock. You just have to weigh the cost of a warranty replacement the hassle of changing batteries every day.

I just experienced the same problem with my N2 over the weekend. Went to Bestbuy and got the $50 battery charger and extra battery (Check local availability) price matched to Amazon.com for $30 (with free shipping under more buying choices), brought it home to charge my completely wasted original battery and used the one in the box. Sure enough, it is the charging port. The new battery did the same thing as the old one, it showed it was being charged by the little lightning "icon" over the battery, but the battery was still draining. Although the lightning icon was there, there was no "bing-bing" tone (in the stock rom w/ root) to indicate the cable was ACTUALLY connected.
What is interesting is I think the battery icon shows up as "processing" if the USB pins are connected, but if just the +/- terminals are used in the cord (like the one that comes with the battery dock, not a MicroUSB cable -> USB port -> power adapter that comes with the phone, but power adapter -> MicroUSB) nothing registers on the phone even if it's completely powered down.
Called Tmo today and they are shipping a warranty replacement to me for free, I just have to wait for Ground shipping (didn't pay the $20 for "overnight"). Hopefully it'll come by next Wednesday, as I'm leaving on vacation then. With all this drama on the phone, I actually ended up ordering a Nokia 521 (give old WinMo a try again) from HSN over the weekend as a backup phone for $100. I felt like I was going to die not having a phone for 2 solid days.
Normally they send one out , then you return yours. The battery on this phone is phenomenal, so using an external battery charger and swapping them out would be viable while waiting for the new one to come in the mail id think.
Im hoping these phones dont get usb charging problems often. I might just mod mine to take wireless charging. My s2's microusb port died on me.

I'm actually quite disappointed that Tmo told Samsung to not wire up the wireless charging leads on this phone. I would be totally on-board for wireless charging a'la Nexus or my Touchpad. My Microusb connector wouldn't even see any use other than when to flash a rooted update.
I'm OK with a soldering iron, but I don't want to tear the thing apart to hook them up myself. Seems like it would be a great way to void the warranty, OR disable my Squaretrade warranty.
Just wanted to drop back by since I was about to send back my N2 to Tmo... I unrooted, triangle awayed and finally flashed "clean" firmware directly from Samsung via ODIN.... both batteries are now charging via both USB and Power adapter.
WTF
My Gnex, which I've had since March 2012, stopped charging.
I got a new battery, it didn't help
I got and replaced the daughterboard responsible for USB connections, and it STILL won't charge
I flashed complete stock android + recovery, nothing
Anyone have any idea what the hell is going on? I just want to be able to use my phone for a few more months till the Nexus 5 comes out!!!

Anyone have any idea what the hell is going on? I just want to be able to use my phone for a few more months till the Nexus 5 comes out!!!

I had this issue and only replaced the USB port on the bottom, and now it works.
Unfortunately that didn't fix mine. Computer can still see it, but it will not charge using any battery/cable/port combination
I had to change my main board

My Gnex, which I've had since March 2012, stopped charging.
I got a new battery, it didn't help

Same problem, but I haven't reflashed or done any sort of recovery. Problem first occured a few months ago after latest 4.3.0 update. Phone would only charge when plugged to USB or phone off. After a few hours the problem fixed itself. The only thing I did was revert back to stock launcher since it seemed like my custom launcher was using way too much memory at boot. Rebooted and the phone was charging. But honestly I think it was just a coincidence. Luck.
Thought the problem was gone but it happened again two days ago. I let my phone run dry (didn't have anywhere to charge). Got home plugged it in and it charged when off but not when booted. I have concluded it's software related. Chargers and USB cables all work, my different batteries work and micro usb port is clean. Device will charge when connected to PC in most modes but PTP works best (don't know why). PC doesn't regognize device however so I can't access it.
What fixed my problem was installing Wugs Toolkit for Nexus. I don't know why but it seems like when it was installing all the different components to communicate with my device it got it to work again. My device was connected to the PC during the install and suddenly rebooted by itself. After that everything was working perfectly.
Sadly I forgot to charge my phone overnight and it ran dry again and today I'm having the same problem again. Looking for a definitive fix, any suggestions are welcome.

My computer detects it as "Unkown device", but most often it will charge in PTP mode. Also, leave it connected to the PC for about 5 minutes. That's how long it takes for mine to start charging sometimes. This is just a temporary solution to actually charge the battery, but I'm sure we'll find the problem
Nope, mine's not charging while off or in PTP mode...

That really sucks, I wish there was a way I could help.. For the time being you could buy an external battery charger (not expensive), but that means having to take out the battery every night Otherwise there is always the hardware options like changing the USB port or the main board. Have you tried pushing the tongue inside the micro usb port up towards the middle? This is a known issue on the GNex and causes connection problems (because the slot is badly engineered)
There's one more thing I'd like you to try. Plugg your phone in through usb to any computer. On your nexus go to the dialer and type *#*#4636#*#* this will take you to the testing menu. Select "Battery information" and tell me what the top 2 lines say. When I'm plugged in with the wall charger it just says "Not charging" and "Unplugged". However when I connect through usb I get "Not charging" and "AC" or if I'm lucky "Charging" and "AC" which shows that the phone detects some sort of input.
