HI there - I could do with some advice, if anyone can help...
My 6-month old Note 2 suddenly refuses to charge.
I've tried my spare battery, tried different cables, tried a wall charger and tried USB to PC, none of them are working.
Problem started yesterday and I thought I'd sorted it when, turning the phone off and swapping batteries got me charging as normal once again, but the problem has started again this morning and both my normal battery and spare are now dead and won't charge, no matter where I try to charge from.
I have an international N7100 running the latest ParanoidAndroid with the Devil kernel. ANy suggestions what might be causing this?
Oh, and any suggestions for a reliable and reasonably priced repair place in the UK, if that's my only option??
Any advice would be really helpful, thanks!
Best,
Stu

My Verizon Galaxy Nexus will not turn on or charge. I put it on the charger Saturday night with ~10% battery left. When I up in the morning my screen was black and the phone would not turn on. When I reconnected it to my charger it did not indicate that it is charging.
I have tried 3 different batteries, chargers, and cables. When my phone connects to a charger or computer it doesnt respond at all, no charge light. When I connect it to a computer, the computer does not acknowledge my device at all. I thought this could have been related to letting a battery fully drain so a bought a seperate battery charger, a full battery has no effect.
I am running the latest Bugless Beast (released 10/10) which I flashed on release day and haven't had issues with. I have restarted my phone several times since flashing so I don't think this is os / app related.
Prior to starting this thread I been googling this issue and none of the suggestions that work for others seem to fix my issue. Please post any suggestions you have including the risky ones. Verizon is delivering a new Galaxy Nexus Thursday and I'd like to get my data off and un-root before returning my device, if possible.
Thanks

I am in the same situation now. I just took the phone, went to wifi settings to connect to a new Wifi network, and it got stuck there. I waited for about 2 minutes and then pulled the battery. After that, it won't turn on or even charge.
Really pissed with the fact that how brittle these darn devices are.
Hey. I just bought a new GNex yesterday, and when my battery died from first use, it wouldn't turn on. Fortunately, my brother also has a GNex, so I tried swapping our batteries (while he had somewhere around 50%). When I tried charging my phone with his battery, it showed that it was charging, but it wasn't. I left it to charge for about two hours, but it didn't charge at all. But my battery on his phone can charge quite normally. I tried using another charger, another USB cable, but still no luck. Can this be a software problem? I'm using Xylon v17 with their custom kernel. I really hope it isn't a hardware problem, but it sounds like it is unfortunately...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: It's the GSM version.
Hi everyone...hope i have posted this in the right place.
I have a GALAXY note 2 ...uk version which is rooted running tigra rom.
All was fine with it until yesterday, my battery was running low so decided to put it on charge. noticed that it didnt recognise the charger. It now has dead battery and will not charge.
When i plug in the charger, i the grey battery icon with the circle in it. then it goes to the battery icon with the green line at the bottom of the battery like its going to charge, but the just goes off and nothing.
Weird thing is that i can get to my recovery screen and can go through my options on there for however long i want to.
thought it may have been a rom issue, so tried putting another one on it, but just installs to 20% then goes off...
so tried resetting, tried to install new rom. tried holding volume up, home and power keys...etc...
HELP WOULD BE GREATTTT....PLEASE...:crying:
Just had the same problem, samsung sucks
Can anybody suggest any solution?
Just had the same problem..gonna het a new battery..hope it will work...
Hello, I repair phones for a living, and ive been troubled with this for a few days, I did some research and found the S2 had similar problems. I took the note 2 im having the charging issues with and compared to a working board and found the problem quickly. I tried replacing the charging port many times and still had same results, also tried flashing roms.
This is what i came up with, check and see if you have a damaged chip on the board above the charging ribbon connector. I have included pictures to help you locate the issue.
Okay I've had my galaxy S3 for some years now. Randomly I started to have a problem with my battery. It started dying faster and faster. After that a new problem popped up where it would only charge up to a certain point, around 35-50% and then stop. Now i did try many things and i feel like theres is nothing left to try. Im not sure if this is a software or hardware issue as i couldnt figure out the problem. I have tried changer the wall adapter, usb cable, and batteries (all official samsung ones). I even got an external battery charger and charged the batteries there and put them back in my phone. What i noticed is even a full charge on the external battery charger would show as a 35-50% same as when it charges and stops charging through usb. The magic number i noticed is 37% for all batteries, chargers, cables. Slowly this started changing and now it no longer charges properly at all. when plugged into the charger the battery drains completely to 0% on charger and if left overnight will jump to 100%. this 100% doesnt last long however and the cycle continues. Sometimes the phone will die and i plug it to charge and it will be at the 35-50% spot. The only thing i wasnt able to do was test with another s3 as everyone i know is S4 and higher. Any help would be appreciated as upgrading is not an option right now financially.

Need more information. ROM/TouchWiz version, have you tried wiping? clean install? etc.
When the problem first started i was on a custom rom but this was a while back so i dont remember the actual name of the rom. I was running that rom for months brfore the problem started so i doubt it was a rom issue. After dealing with the battery issue for a while i started to get annoyed. So i unrooted and reflashed stock firmware hoping it would help but it didnt. I ran stock for a while. After that i decided to try flashing a custom rom again to see if it would help. Currently im running TMS3KK 3.1 TW 4.4.2 and the problem is still there. I have tried factory resets, wiping everything and even battery calibration apps but nothing seems to help. My battery indicator can go from 100% to 12% just by unplugging the charger. Sometimes my phone would die and den turn back on with like 40% or so. Really can tfigure this out i feel like it might be a hardware issue. Also is *#0228# command useful?

I have the same problem. Try using rubbing alcohol and toothbrush to clean out the USB port. Also take a look at this link to remove corrosion from the port.

I dont think its a port issue as an external battery charger doesnt seem to fix the problem either. Problem seems to be with the phone not reading the right percentage.
I used Kies 3 to reload the firmware to KOT49H.T999VVLUFNH2. Battery is more stable now.
Yea i tried flashing back to stock as well but unfortunately didnt help me.

Samsung Note 2 starting only when plugged in wall charger. As soon as i unplug it, it turns off. I bought the phone like this, so i don't know much about it's past. It was also in factory mode, but i managed to root and get it in user mode.
I bought a battery from a friend, but it's the same problem with either of them. Would it be possible for both batteries to be out of juice? Should i run out and buy a new battery?
I also tried swapping the motherboard with a working / previously tested motherboard, but it was the same. Any ideas to what's causing this battery related problem?
solved. got a new battery. worked.
