[Q] Cannot charging or connect to PC - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
Today I found my Note 2 cannot charging and cannot connect to PC, I have tried another cable or another charger.
Is there anyone that ever had this happen?
Thanks

Oh boy, doesn't sound good.

After flashing a custom ROM I now have the same issue. Did you get this fixed or does anyone have any ideas. I lent my spare phone to a friend and need my phone over the next few days. Any information on trouble shooting would be great.

Just did battery pull with the charger plugged in while my phone was booting and my phone is now changing. I have not tried USB. I will wait for phone to fully charge.
Give this a go. I hope it works for you.

I may have spoken too soon. It appears to charge for about 30 seconds but then the charging light will turn off. When phone is powered on it will not charge at all :s

I just take my Note to Samsung Service Center, they said the connector need to be replace, so i have to left my note there for 2 days.

Hey,
I know this thread is ancient, but I was wondering if you found out what is causing this in your phone as I just started having the exact same problems as you.
Background info:
1 - I had no issues what so ever with the phone.
2 - I went snowboarding and I dropped my phone (stupid for many reasons I know) in the snow and I literally ran over it.
3 - That same day, my girlfriend spilled some beer on it (only a little, and it did not bath in it).
4 - The phone stayed on and worked correctly with no problem all day that day.
5 - I plugged in the phone to charge (while still one) and it does not charge, nor does it have the "thunderbolt" icon to show charging.
6 - I powered off. The phone shows the "thunderbolt" in white and proceeds to charge.
7 - Went to friends to watch superbowl. Borrowed his Galaxy SIII charger to charge. Does not charge while one. Also, does not charge powered off either (although the thunderbolt does show up while in the powered off state).
8 - Went home, and phone charged while powered off and using it's normal AC charger.
9 - Plugged into PC via USB cable, and does not charge powered on, nor off. PC states that the USB plugged in is faulty and is damaged (doesn't connect).
Any solutions/insights? Or is the hardware permanently damaged?
Thanks.

Ugh, nevermind, I found it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599747&highlight=doesn+t+charge&page=4
I lifted the pins up some using an exacto knife. The bugger charges now, but my PC still says that the USB device is malfunctioning. Still, the bigger issue of charging is now taken care of.
I have a similar issue.. I went snowboarding the other day. When I was done and went in the lodge to leave I pulled my phone out and it got cold and was covered in condensation.. I was stupid and didn't power it down or pull the battery but just left it in my pocket.. When I go to the car at first it wouldn't charge.. I pulled out the USB and put it in a few times.. Finally it charged.. 2hrs later at home I was going to bed and went to let it charge and the first few times it wouldn't charge.. Finally it did and I fell asleep..
Now today I tried plugging it in and it wouldn't charge at all. I took it all apart messed around and it still doesn't charge right.. If I plug it in with the phone off and watch the battery charge screen it keeps re looping and the eventually doesn't show the charging screen at all..
The weirdest part is that if I plug it in powered off and I go into twrp.. It shows it is charging.. And from harp I can reboot system and when the phone boots up as long as the cable stays in, the phone will continue to charge.. But if I remove the cable and put it back it will not charge..
Unless I do it through tarp again..
Any thoughts?

Red light of death [FIXED]

Today, i found my xpm switched off. Tried to power it on,it didnt. Thinking that it was out of charge, i plugged in the device for some time. The led was blinking red in sequence. Tried to power it on again, but again it didnt. Failing to power on even after charging for two hours, i have tried all key combos, tried to boot into fastboot mode. Sadly it is not booting to fastboot mode. Any idea? Dont tell me its the infamous red light of death
when you charged it the red light should not turn off.try to put your phone elevated from the charger ..if the red lights blinks when you try to power on it it means its low power that it can't make your phone boot.
when you charge .it should be steady red light .if no light then its not charging

I have an option for last resort to force a charge into a phone. Don't try this unless you have to. I'm not familiar with your phone but have done this on a few droid razrs and even Asus tablets.
First find an old USB cord that you no longer need. Cut the head off and strip the wires back enough there should be 3 wires. You only need the red and black. Strip them so they are separated and have room to work with em. Next figure out what contact is positive on the battery and negative on the battery. Try taping the red to the positive and black to the negative. Make sure they do not touch eachother. And leave on charger for at least 30 minutes. Do not try to fully cage a battery this way would possibly over charge the battery and could cause damage or even harm.
They droid razrs would get the white light of death and the first nexus 7 by asus did something similar where the battery dies and power going into the changer isn't being sent to the battery this negates the computer and forces a small charge into the battery once Bootable the phone should charge regularly good luck

Charging Problem

I've had this problem for a long time but as it's not my primary phone I've not really looked into it, but as I'm using it for tethering more and more often it's about time I really looked into it. Currently using 2 batteries and a desktop charger.
Desire HD, plug in, any cable, I get the orange light but the power is still draining.
I've tried Ampere, which is showing a charge of 280mA - 340mA and displays as charging but battery percentage is still dropping. Battery is getting warm as it normally would.
If the phone is off, then plugged in, it boots to recovery. If shut down while plugged in, it still reboots to recovery.
I'm sure this is a hardware issue, but is it likely to be a simple charge socket replacement (the data part works fine) or is it likely to be something more complex (expensive)?
Quit same problem i was facing on my desire z few months ago just change my old data cable and problem solved. I first recommend you to charge it with any other cable.

And secondly , are you using CWM recovery ? If yes then its not hardware problem its your recovery problem . change that and install latest TWRP recovery. I hope that will fix your all issues .

Bootloop problems (VS985)

So this has been happening ever since the middle of my rom flashing days with this phone with snapchat. When it occurred it only rebooted once or 3 times and I could use the phone again.
However recently I started playing Pokémon GO with the phone and the bootloops have been getting worse. It would reboot repeatedly until I take out the battery for more than a minute and put it in as it reboots another 2 or 3 times.
Now for the past few days the bootloops wouldn't stop until I wipe the phone and reflash the rom. Can someone please tell me how to fix this because this is happening almost constantly now and to the point where this phone is completely unreliable.
*I am running Resurrection Remix 5.7.0 (Oadam11's build from July 5) and the last thing I remember flashing is a CTT mod that was suggested from a recent post from lgg3 subreddit
I just bought a used VS985 on ebay, it's been good for about a week and now it occasionally is unusable. This morning I could use my phone without the charger fine but 2 hours ago I tried using the camera and it shutoff and went into a bootloop and never got past the first of logo, it works fine while charging, but if you unhook it it will immediately go into a boot loop or will boot loop after 5 seconds. I know it's a software issue, because it will not ever turn off of in recovery or boot loader menu. I am typing this on it right now, I will unplug it and edit this to see if it is still doing this. It only happens like every other day.

Camera works fine too.

And it turned off and started bootlooping so I'm having to charge it again. I will get to the bottom of this. Its not the battery being loose, I've tried raising it up bushing it back and pushing it forward with paper and it still bootloops, when I get another battery in I'm taking this battery apart and trying a fix by soldering a connection that is glued on originally
For anyone who crosses this thread with the same problem. It's most likely a battery problem. I tried plugging it in during bootup and it runs perfectly fine. Once again this website is rendered useless as I get all my advice from the lgg3 subreddit

I've found many people with the same problem as us and was fixed with a replacement battery. I'm pretty sure its a battery issue for me as it happens more and more frequently as the percentage gets lower. And also if I plug it in during a bootup there would be no bootloop (You should try this as well). I have a feeling its because the battery is so shot it would turn off and wouldn't be able to turn on again because of not enough power outage or something like that. So I am gonna get a replacement battery (most likely anker from amazon) and will get back to you to confirm. But I'm pretty positive this is the solution.

I've researched this a lot and most people it has fixed their problem, I have a replacement battery coming in and when it does come in I'm gonna try to solder a point on this battery and see if it fixes it. Some people have had to buy replacement batterys every 2 weeks. What I don't understand is why dosnt it bootloop or reboot of you out it in recovery or download mode?

About charger

Sorry, not sure what you really want to know.
Have charged my phone with it four times now. It hasn't caught on fire and has charged my phone every time.
