Slow Charging - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

My phone takes 5 to 6 hours to fully charge. It started about 3 days ago. I've tried Odin back to stock. I've tried different ROMs. I have also tried changing chargers and even a different battery. What can this be. It sucks to have to wait so long for my phone to charge.

It started on liquid with stock kernel then I tried devil kernel and nothing. Then I went Jedi x then to carbon. And now I'm on slim ROM. I haven't changed kernels anymore because I'm getting great battery life on slim but the charging is still slow.

Are you on 4.3 slim or 4.2

I remember you asked this question about the Perseus kernel also if your running slim 4.2 neak kernel v2.1 has a fast charge setting if on 4.2 download the neak kernel 2.1 and the uneak engine from the play store to utilize all the kernel has to offer

Thanks for this I'll let you know how it goes

I had slow charging issues on Carbon, but it's been fine on any other rom I've used. I also use NEAK kernel now and no issues here. Rootbox actually works great with NEAK and no charging issues whatsoever. You should give that a try if you don't want to use touchwiz. www.rootbox.ca

What worked for me I just removed the battery and cleaned the contacts of the battery and phone I don't know it might work for u. Good luck.!

Thank you guys for your input. I've been using neak kernel and uneak engine and I wouldn't say my charging is like when I got the phone, but its definitely not taking 6 hours to charge. Its taking maybe 4 now.

They all the same t0lteatt or t0lte. Used both.

Try changing charging cable, the factory one is not good in quality. There's an app that show how many current is taking the n2 when charging. That will give you a glimpse to know what is the cause. Mine was the cable. Hope it helps!

Wife had the same trouble, new cord fixed it... then I had the same issue, new cord, fixed it again.
we went from charging for 6 hours and not hitting 100% (starting from about 50) to going from about 70% to 100% in about 1 hour and still (mildly) using the phone
Change your cord guys, the samsung one stops working so well after a while. also you can use "galaxy charging current" app from app store to see if you are getting good charge levels

Thanks but I stated it wasn't the cord. It charges my s3 perfectly and I've already tried different cords.

JB OTA battery life

I've been running the ota rooted JB ROM since it came out. I am not running any tweaks at all. Only difference is that I am rooted. Well battery life at first was awesome I would go 15+ hours with 3.5-5 hours of screen time. Now for the last week I have only been able to get 10 hours with 2.5 hrs of screen time max. want to know if anyone else has noticed this.
Oh and my phone seems to heat up a lot when I am only on FB and texting.

Your best bet when experiencing battery problems is to just do a factory rest , clear all cache and see if that helps. It usually does the trick.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I get atleast 2 days without charging
Don't want to do a factory reset lol

Update on this. I still only get 2.5 hours on with 12hrs max off charger. This is with ktoonz kernel and mw86's tweaks

check any installed app to see if they are using your internet.. for example every time Facebook updates its app.. They decide to change my settings to update every 15 mins..

You could be in the same boat as me. My phone don't play well with ktoonz kernel. Horrible battery life no matter what I did. Went back to stock and I'm back to 4+hours screen on and 15-16 hours off the charger and even longer over wifi

I'll let it go one more day, used the official Samsung charger this time to see if that has some effect on it.
If not I will try stock kernel over the weekend.

You should know these batteries are Lithium ion batteries. So their life decays as time goes on and as you charge them. You may need a new battery

Happened all the time to me. Before you unplug it next time reboot it and let it charge the rest of the way.

Battery question

So I'm new to the note 2
So I'm running jellybomb and my phone only chargers to 89%?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
I am running jellybomb and dont have the issue at all. Shows 100% and actually get great battery life. Running perseus kernel. Are you using the Note II charger? I have looked and noticed it is a little beefier output than other chargers. Mine wont even charge of others but that might be the case if you are using a different charger it isnt putting the output needed to get battery to 100%.

Galaxy note II charging slowly

Hello I don't know if I can find some help here but I'm currently running tweaked Rom on my GNII and have since then noticed that it charges very slow. I've got two different samsung chargers and they both do the same thing. While it's plugged in it seems to still lose juice. It charged for over 6 hrs and only made it to 45% has anyone encountered this issue?? Thank you.

You have tweaked voltage control of your rom. Which tweak tool you've used? Check if there any reset to default option available. If not, reflash rom with all three wipes. Everything will be fine then.

I haven't noticed any type of voltage control on the other tweaked Rom. Thing is i used my brothers charger at his house and it charged ridiculously fast. Even now I've had it plugged into the computer at school and it's been at 59% for last 4 hrs. I know it's not the same voltage but it just hasn't moved at all.

Try installing app call Galaxy Charging Current in the Playstore
It has free and paid apps .. just get the free app to test your charger current to your phone
Only pay attention to the value on Maximum .. You should be getting at least 1000mAH to 1800mAH ..
normally I would get 1200-1500 mAH .. You will be very lucky to get 1700-1800mAH
Samsung are well known for the bad usb cable data which often cause slow charging ..
Bad cable will only flow 500mAH too your phone and that pretty much like charging through PC which will take forever to full charging

Yap, that's why I've recommend a new fulls set charger. I am using the plug of GTab and the cable is a nokia one. I've also faced slow charge and I've left the samsung cable.

Sometimes just replacing the samsung usb cable data will fix the problem .. Most of the time the culprit is the usb cable data
Another best option is to use Blackberry usb cable data.. their cables are good and more durable somehow compare to samsung cable
You're most likely using the charging cable of another phone. Use the note ii cable that came with the box. I used my S2 cable and the voltage is only around 780. Thenote ii cable got to 1800, big different.

If avatar is touchwiz based then you can use Perseus kernel. If its AOSP based then you can't unfortunately..

Weird battery problem

Ok so I am on frosty v8 rom 4.2.1 I am using saber kernel 45.3 I have tried recalibration of the battery but for some reason when I am charging my phone now it says its charging on the lockscreen but the phone is still dropping power. So I installed battery monitor pro and I have noticed that it says its discharging but while plugged in but the phone isnt running anything in the background.
Will upload some pictures
I think it might be the battery or the charging cable.

It's a tricky scenario. ..
I posted my own observation below yours ...
I get drainage while charging at a low battery% especially while using phone at same time .. This shouldn't be it's like low battery charge% is overriding the charging capabilities.
A phone should gain % while charging regardless of how you consume power least I'd think.
I wanna test this discharge/ charge theory while my phones at 80-90%.

now its really weird the phone is ice cold like 25degree, and the battery monitor pro app says the phone is charging not discharging but it says 0.0%/hr and the percentage is not moving up.. very confused.
I really dont think its rom related. Because I have been using the same rom for the last 10 months.
