I jad it turned off and left it plugged, charged at 3:00am today. I woke up 6 hours later and the phone still shows the battery charging indicator. But, when I turned on the phone, it still says "0% connect charger. "
Can anyone tell me why the battery is still at zero? What could be the problem? The USB connection to Laptop works fine, btw.

how did you charge it? usb or ac?
Both. Charged via usb for 2 hours with no gain. AC for 6 hours & no gain.

same cable i assume? was it the one that came with the phone?
with it not charging via usb, i'm not surprised. there isnt a ton of voltage going through when plugged into the computer.
From my past Android experiences, if I remember correctly, a phone not charging while turned off is usually a recovery image issue. Try flashing the stock recovery and see if that solves your issue.
I re-flashed stock ics through odin last night before charging and used htc cable. The phone was running very smooth when battery was partially charged. Now the phone is dead due to power down cause it won't charge. Just won't turn on.

It's the USB port... It have been covered several times here. Do a search and you should find ~30 threads about this issue.

Well, that is quite harsh. I have the same issue now, and it applies to both usb and ac-adapter, with different cables as well.
Specific links please?

You're trying to charge it with a HTC cable? Charge it with the stock charger
Ever tried charging it when its off if you get the charging animation? Then again that is one option.
Another would be to check if you have fast charge option enabled from any kernels.
Its on stock kernel, and yes to all questions you guys asked. I charged it with stock oem samsung cable, while it's on and off. See charge animation when it's off, and when it's on too. The phone does not have root access.

I had a similar problem until recently. I have a GSM GN that I've never fooled with, and suddenly one day it wouldn't charge when I plugged the micro usb port into it. I would have to plug in the micro usb side, then pull and replug the other end of the cable. It was bizarre. I tried other cables, chargers, etc. All the same.
However, I think I fixed my problem by entering the boot loader and restarting it. Power off, then hold power and both volume keys. When the boot loader appears, you can press volume up and down to select "Restart boot loader" and then hit the power key. After I did this, the GN started working normally again.
Hopefully that'll help you fix your problem.

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

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
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
@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.
I have a rooted HTC evo 4g. I rooted it about 2 months ago and have had no problems.
I woke up this morning, and it is bricked. I have not recently flashed anything or done anything beyond regular phone use.
i cannot enter download mode, and the "charging" led does not come on.
Any suggestions?
What does your phone do when you press the power button?
Have you removed the battery and inspected for indications of damage such as discoloration or bulges?
Have you tried connecting a different USB cable that is known to be working?
Have you visually inspected the USB connector for loose/damaged conductors?

the power button does nothing.
The usb cable and wall adapter works on my kindle, and i tried an additional one with no results.
The battery appears normal, however my next planned step is to try and get a replacement battery and see if that works.
Try taking battery out and then plug usb cable in only and try to turn on...

no dice.
also wondering about the cause... 2 potential things:
- I've noticed that the phone gets very hot. 40+ degrees even when not running much. Is this within normal tolerance or could i be looking at heat damage.
- I've been getting the pop-up asking me to do some sort of OTA update. I keep saying no, because i know these ota updates can be incompatible with rooted phones. Could it have pushed through somehow and if it did could it cause the problem i am experiencing?
phone is fixed.
A read on the sprint forum that sometimes holding down the power for an extended time can get the phone to be responsive... had to hold it for like 90 seconds. It then flashed the white evo boot screen and powered back down almost immediately.
After this, however, the orange charging light came on and i was able to get to boot loader. I let the phone charge for a while, then it boot up as normal.
One of the things i noticed is that the battery is practically completely drained... this is odd as it was plugged into the charger when it died. On the same sprint forum, others have speculated that sometimes the battery can drain to the point where it wont accept a charge anymore... so maybe thats the issue.
I ran my battery all the way down last night. Left the phone on the wall charger overnight and it is not responsive. Tried to turn it on using all combinations of powers button and volume buttons. When the phone is connected to a pc it doesn't recognize it. But when I try to power the phone on while connected, the pc makes the sounds indicating something is connected.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Leave is connected to a powered PC port for a couple hours. Not sure why but I've had luck bringing devices back from beneath the cutoff voltage level using low amperage charging. Heck my best recovery charging port has been the USB port on my cable box.

Thanks for the replies. I am using the OEM cable. I've tried putting it on power using the wall charger. I've also tried using a PC. I've tried the bright light trick. I've tried pressing both volume buttons, one volume button, the other volume button. I've tried power button by itself. I think I've pretty much bricked my phone. I'm willing to listen to other suggestions

Must be that time of the month.. this happened to me last night.
Left the house around 90%, phone was getting pretty hot.. So I rebooted, twice.. still hot.. so I turned it off for 15 minutes. It was still pretty warm after that, but I decided to turn it on again. When it came up, I was at 18%!. So I sent a couple of texts, and just turned it off thinking I would be able to turn it on later. No such luck. OEM charger does nothing, I plugged into laptop for 20 minutes, nothing.. So I left it on the charger overnight. I still have nothing this morning. Going to leave it on a PC USB port for awhile and see what happens..
Is there an official process for getting your phone back up??
I'm rooted, unlocked, s-off.. so I'm worried if I go to Verizon (it's only been 50 days), they'll discover that if they get my phone back up.
Left mine on the charger over night and held the power down as I took it off the charger seemed to do the trick.

Hi,
my battery ran very low (~2%), and I put it in a car charger, and used it for a call. I've heard of car chargers or combination of different cables etc. causing problems, but I think I can rule out a burned out motherboard, as the phone was functioning for the call and a text was sent after.
About 5 min after I took it out of the car charger (got home) I noticed that the capacitive buttons were lit. I tried turning the phone screen on, nothing happened. So I held down the power button for 20 seconds or so, again nothing. Then I held down the power button and volume down, and it went into recovery (twrp)
Not sure why I did this, but I wiped the cache and dalvik cache, and hit reboot system. Now at this point I don't know if the battery died, or if it tried to reboot and didn't work. Either way, it is now dead
I have tried the following;
Hold power button, no response
Hold power button, and volume down, no response
Hold power button, volume down and volume up, no response
Left charger plugged in for an hour, no response
There is no led light on when the charger is plugged in
I have tried connecting to a pc, it makes the 'new device connected' sound, and soon after, the disconnect sound. Windows states that the usb device is not recognised.
Any ideas?
Forgot to mention I'm on Slimrom 4.2.2 build 8 official
Is it true that the phone can't be charged while in TWRP?
Any help would be appreciated, I need to flash KK!!
Shameless bump

http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one-x/300271-htc-one-x-will-not-turn.html
Can anyone pls help with this script mentioned in post #4??
I've rooted/ custom rom'd about 9 phones, I can't believe that it can be bricked by losing battery power while in recovery... nothing has ever gone wrong like this, please help!!
Try leaving it charging for ~24 hours
Try unplugging the battery from the motherboard and plugging it back in, if not get a new battery HOX is only about 5 pounds or you can upgrade to a HOX+ battery for about 20 pounds.
tried charging overnight ~12 hrs, no joy, but thanks
I have it opened up now, so might try disonnecting and re-connecting battery, thanks
I have been speaking to the team at TWRP on irc chat. Somebody suggested to strip USB cable back and connect bare wires to terminals of battery to see if it will charge. Will this cause problems as USB is ~5v and the battery is 3.7v??

I wouldn't risk the USB thing. You might as well get a new battery. I have a spare HOX+ battery which is 2040mah bigger than the HOX, I could sell that to you for a cheaper price than everyone elses.
I have since replaced the battery, and also a new power flex cable (that I broke during disassembly!) and something has changed at least......
Beforehand, Windows did not recognise the device at all, sometimes the 'USB device not recognised' dialogue box wouldn't even appear, although it would make a sound
Anyway, now it says that it's not recognised, but in Device Manager, it says it is a APX device (before it was an unknown device)
Can anyone shed any light on this?

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping for some help with my Pixel. I was charging my Pixel overnight (though it was at ~65% battery) on a battery pack a couple nights ago, and when I woke up the phone was turned off. Nothing I can do now will get it to turn back on. I've tried multiple chargers (including the OEM), leaving it plugged in for a long time and then trying to turn it on, turning it on while holding power + volume down, etc. My PC will make a sound when I plug it in, like it recognizes a new USB device, but then it won't show up as a device.
Any ideas on what to do about this or what could be causing this issue? Currently phoneless so any and all help is hugely appreciated!

Holy crap! Almost sounds like your mother board went kaput! If you can't get into recovery or bootloader mode to do a factory reset, then about the only option as I see it is RMA. You certainly have grounds for it!

Something similar happened to me couple of month ago. The phone was on the charger and when I wanted to check it I noticed it was switched off. I could not switch it back on, tried to put it on different chargers, pressing different button combinations along with the power button, nothing helped. I then plugged the phone in to one of the usb 2 ports in the pc, used an Anker usb A to usb C cable. I could hear the sound the pc recognized it, then pressed volume up, volume down and power button for about 15-20 seconds. The phone switched back on... Since then (touch wood) hasn't happened again... Worth giving a try...

Same thing happened to me once. I was sh**ING bricks because I bought my phone from eBay. Reached out to Google Support and they gave me similar instructions. I had to hold volume up and power for about 20 seconds and it finally booted.
