[Q] Phone doesn't charge while off - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've recently rooted & flashed the latest Cyanogen 10.2 nightly on my N7100 alongside with Devil kernel and the latest TWRP recovery and now my phone doesn't seem to charge properly when it's off. I plug it in and it shows a dead battery with the little circle in the middle, I leave it there and in a few minutes it boots back into the system and then starts charging.
I've tried flashing different kernels and leaving the stock CM kernel and flashing a different recovery but none of that seems to help. Any ideas?

Stuck on Boot Loop

I have the latest nightly PACman 20130926 installed and had NEAK kernel installed on it.
I then changed to Thor (not realising I should have came from PACs kernel first and not NEAK) but got bool loops. I went in CMW recovery and
reflashed NEAK.
The phone was fine for a few hours but not has gone into continuous boot loop.
I cant get into recovery or download mode, just constantly rebooting. Same thing happens when connected to PC via USB, when its charging,
with sim and sdcard removed (not that those things would usually make a difference)
Can anybody please help as my phone is inoperable.
Thanks

Stock firmware crashes / custom firmware restarts every few minutes

Hi All,
I am not sure if this is a hardware issue that I am facing or what.
Basically I was running Linaro CM11 which was working fine, but I got a goo.im that a update was available. So I downloaded and flashed this.
Everything seemed fine except after 5 minutes the phone did a reboot, it started up fine and same thing kept happening. So I flashed back to the previous version but the problem persisted.
So I downloaded a stock N7100 UK vodafone rom, flashed this but while doing so it seems the usb cable I was usb wasn't 100% and it crashed mid flash.
I used a JTAG to get the phone back into download mode and using a new cable re flashed the above stock rom. since the any stock ROM i flash goes into deep sleep and usually WONT wake up.
So i decided to re flash CM10 stable, which does not suffer the deep sleep but does suffer with reboots every few minutes so tried CM11, also tried a few other ROMS and im suffering either deep sleep or a reboot.
What is wrong with my phone, second to this I cannot turn on bluetooth if I try to on stock or custom the phone either just toggles straight back off or freezes completely and restarts itself or stays like that just hanging.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just to add to this post, iv tried Sammy 4.3, 4.1.2 & 4.0.1 I think on the last one all do more or less the same except they all crash loads on first boot. Some are unusable. Iv also tried Irish rom, France, Spain.
Same thing happens on all soon as the screen goes off it is almost impossible to get the phone to wake up. Also tried other kernels again with the same result or worse the room packs in.
Help :crying:

Phone shuts off and wont turn back on

I've had a CM11 Official Nightly installed on my phone for a couple weeks, and just today my phone started turning off, and when I try to turn it back on it just shows the Samsung logo for a few seconds, then flashes the CM11 logo, then the screen goes black. It does fully boot up when I pull the battery for a few minutes then turn it on again, but it only lasts for a couple minutes before shutting off again. It does the same thing when I try to boot into recovery (TWRP), it shows the Samsung logo with the boot recovery text, then shows the TWRP screen for a second, then shuts off again. Rarely it will boot into recovery. Any idea what the problem is or how to fix it?
I would try installing the latest version of Philz Touch for the d2lte to see if you can get into recovery and stay in recovery. I used to have twrp on my phone but it gave me problems when flashing ROMs.
Thanks, installed Philz Touch recovery via Odin, and got it to boot into recovery and installed CM11 and it seems to be working so far.
Good news. For future reference, I would load the Samsung Phone Info app from the playstore to confirm the bootloader and modem on your phone as some ROMs may require the latest bootloader and modem to function properly.

Phone Only Boots When Plugged In

I just recently Odin the NJ3 tar over my ND8 stock deodexd debloated ROM a couple of weeks ago. Then I started experiencing that the phone will randomly shuts off automatically and the only way to turn it back on is to plug it into a power source.
So I decided to flash the Stock+NJ2+Deodex.zip using Philz after doing a wipe to install a new ROM. This caused the phone to only boot to the Sprint Logo and then it shuts down. So I decided to wipe and install Wicked S5 Xperience V2.2. Now I am at where the phone will only boot and runs if it is plugged into a power source.
Can someone suggest a solution or steps to get my phone back to stock (including all the needed downloads)?
Can I restore a backup I made prior to updating to NJ2 (while still on ND8)?
Can I install the ND8_STOCK_DEODEXED_ROOTED.zip after upgrading to NJ3?
Note: The phone runs fine when I boot into Philz and so it cannot be a bad battery?
Installing an ND8 Stock ROM on NJ2 disables Wifi. So I managed to install the Stock+NJ2+Deodex.zip and get the phone running just as long as it is plugged in.
When I unplug to run on battery, the phone turns off. When I try to turn it on, it gets to the Sprint Logo and then turns off.
I can boot into Philz recovery mode on battery and it works fine in recovery mode without turning off.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be wrong?
[Solved] New Battery
Thanks for all the help.
The Sprint store tested the battery and it failed. Installed new battery and phone is now working again. What's the chance the battery gave out at the same time I flashed a ROM?

P5210 (SGT3 10.1) Green animated charging icon missing

Recently I tried to upgrade my P5210 from 4.2.2 to CM12.1 5.1. The update failed because I could not get past the setup wizard. I decided to recover back to 4.2.2, but that failed. The recovery loaded but the tab was soft bricked. It would only boot into recovery (TWRP 2.8.6.0).
My recourse was to use Odin and flash P5210UEUANB2_P5210XARANB2_HOME.tar.md5 into the Tab. This was successful and I was now back to stock. I flashed TWRP, then performed a recovery of my last backup. My Tab was now back to the way I had it before trying the CM12.1 flash.
However, there seems to be one thing missing. Before flashing CM12.1, when I charged my Tab (with Tab power off) there was a green (or was it blue?) animated battery displayed. This would give me an indication of the state of charge. Now that I have flashed OEM, rooted, and restored, the green animated battery state of charge icon is missing.
I am wondering if this was some app I installed and forgot about, or if it was a part of the OEM flash and somehow is not being activated.
Does anyone here know about this green animated state of charge icon?
Thanks in advance.

Some roms don't have that display ,its completely normal whether you charge it powered on or off it will charge normally
