Epic will not power down in charge mode

whenever my phone is powered off (or I power it off) while it's on the charger
it will power back on. anyone know why it's doing this? could it be the USB wire/charger?

The screen should just light up with a battery symbol to show charging.

it SHOULD do this, but it doesn't
if the phone is off and I plug the charger in
it will start charging, but it will also power on :|

If your on GB, then its a known issue. But if this is happening on froyo, then I would ODIN EB13, root, and flash SFR.

what do you mean? like a docking station?
or just a regular Samsung charger that would fit my phone and several other Samsung phones?

They mean a charger that fits the battery to charge it outside of the phone.

i find it annoying,,, does the battery same with ipad 2?
does it lower battery life cycle?

It can be done, I think. You might need a customized data cable (not sure, just airing my opinion).

No it doesn't ruin battery life. It's actually better to charge li-ion batteries in smaller intervals than letting it drain to 0 then charging to 100 in one go all the time.

ur USB cable has 4 pins..destroy the leftmost pin and the rightmost pin of ur USB cable..thats for power..the 2 center pins are for data

Calibrate only when you think something's wrong with it. Some people recommend calibrating after flashing a new rom, or after restoring from a nandroid backup.

charging phone with jabar wallcharger?

I checked both wall chargers they have different volts of their input and output and theres no usb or anyting to take out of the jabar wallcharger is it safe to charge with?
When i plug it in it works but is it generally safe to charge this phone with it....
By the way The jabar charger is meant for a bluetooth headset
Thanks guys!

Works the same...
I have 5 different ones...(Motorola, Chinese, Samsung,..)
Cables and the Chargers themselves...so they all work fine for me.
I charge my phone at night so I don't notice if one charges slower or faster than the other.
But yea use it.

Sloww charging!

OK guys not sure whats been going on but i had around 8% left its been 4hrs or 5 and its only up to 78% thats a bit crazy if you ask me. Im running a custom Rom 4.2.1 i believe i feel like going back to stock...

Where did you get 4.2.1? The kernel in something that for off from what is in the usual development channels may have an impact on charging. I'd stick with 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 for current kernels.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

I had this problem also when I had the note 2 for about a month...happened twice only though, not every time. I ended up returning that phone because the mic kept cutting out. I haven't had this problem on a new note 2 yet (been about 3 weeks). So there might be something wrong with the device, i don't know.

When you plug in the charger, double check that it says "AC Charging." I have plugged mine in and gotten mixed results:
1. AC charging
2. USB charging
3. Nothing
If I get #3, I restart and usually get #1.
You can also install a battery monitor app and check the log to see how much charge you are getting.

Was your phone just charging or were you doing stuff?
More importantly, what does it say for mA in the log.?
Can you post a screenshot of your log?
sent from my phabulous phablet using xda premium

If you were flashing a new rom or any big file. You should never flash below 50% percent. I did this the other day and it was just charging so so slow. So what I did was turned it off and let it charge. While that was happening I guess when it hits a certain percentage it automatically turns on. It turned back on and it was charging just fine. And also when your on the phone while charging the percent goes down for me as well.

I dont think your charger likes you ^_^ Jokes aside, is your charger going through an extension or straight off the wall? Maybe try a new extension or a different wall socket.

Something is wrong there. Easy candidates are:
Your battery
your charger
your cable
Do you have any way to swap out any of the above to see what it may be?

I had the same problem changed my cable out and now charges just fine its worth trying

Random input.....
I just happened to be charging my phone while browsing the forum yesterday when I came across this thread. I'm not having any issues I was just killing time and being lazy..
It made me check my battery and I noticed it seemed to be charging kinda slow. (I had been plugged in a while and hadn't gone up much) I checked battery in settings and it said charging USB. I was plugged into the wall outlet. Strange indeed!
I unplugged the usb from the phone then plugged it back in and it switched to AC. It definitely started charging faster after that.
I never would have thought to check this so I'm glad I was snooping around.
Just figured I'd share my experience.

I've had the same problem with slow charging every once in a while. I think it has more to do with the kernel and/or rom. I had times when it took overnight for the phone to charge. Now it charges full in about 2-3 hours.

Try taking out the battery for a few minutes. Put it back in and leave it off. Plug the charger into a wall outlet and then charge with the phone off. Just leave the phone alone for a while to build up a charge.

Nope...its still just vibrating and not showing the icon...

Might need to leave it off for a longer period of time. Have you tried plugging it in to a pc to see if you get similar activity? Not that it will do anything different or solve it but just to check.
