are you using the original charger and cable? I had a similar problem with my vibrant. It only happened with cheap tired party cable/chargers. The phone was fine.it was the touch screen that was sluggish. I suspect a stay charge or ground effecting the capacitive measurements of the screen
thus the sluggishness.

Same here. I'm using original charger. I think it's the outlet. Faulty grounding. If I will switch the outlet the problem goes away.

Interesting you mention the outlet- I have had the same experience with erratic touch screen behavior when plugged in, and have had it with other devices including non-Samsung, but it seems to be random. But it happened today and I remember I was plugged into an outlet upside down. WOnder if it in fact did mess with the grounding or something and led to the strange touch screen behavior. Will try a few times and see if I can replicate and narrow down a constant....

I have noticed it as well. After seeing your post i realized it is only when plugged into the wall.

I've had this problem over multiple phones & multiple chargers.

I have the same problem, can't even unlock the phone while charging...

T989D not charging

Recently my wife plugged her phone in for the night to charge it and in the morning it was nearly dead. I figured bad connection so I unplugged and replugged it and showed charging now. A few hours later and it was near the same percentage. It is obviously getting some power. I got it charging slowly last night. It was at 91 when I went to bed. This morning it did not say charging and the battery logs I had on showed it stopped charging twice. The first time it hit 100 and quit charging for about an hour and then restarted. The second time it hit 100 it stopped charging for the night.
Other things I have tried:
Swapped battery with the one in my phone. (also t989d)
Different chargers (4 so far)
Flashing a different rom. (Leaving it on the cm10 nightly that works on my phone for the moment)
Looking for physical or obstruction for the charging port. (None I can see)
Searching the forums. (Doesn't quite match some posts since it does sometimes charge but I am going to pick up a new can of compressed air in case of lint inside.
Anyone with bright ideas?

I have had similar problems with Kindle Fires -- my family has had to have both Fires replaced twice. The problem with them is that the connections to the USB port break. I would think that the same thing could happen to just about any device that uses a micro usb connector.

Have you tried a different wall socket or charging with a computer?

Will try the computer today. All the chargers were plugged into different wall outlets and were tested on different devices.

This is what we are afraid of. We tried charging via the computer and it didn't seem to work.
After a reboot it is slowly charging off the wall outlet with the original charger. Much slower than it should but it is charging.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium

You need to replace the charging port. if your phone is still under warranty just get it replaced.
Same thing happen to me the part is cheap to replace but you have to be careful when you take apart your phone so you don't damage any of the flex cable connectors.

I've come to the same conclusion. You make it sound easy to do. Is there no soldering etc?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium

There is soldering and I would take it to a professional to get it replaced if I were you. It will cost a bit more, but at least they "know" what they are doing because your limited experience can easily damage the circuit board reckon it unusable.

Yep. I've done some home soldering in the past but those were all with things that the parts to replace the whole item were under $20. Waiting on a reply from a local shop

Damaged charging port

Have any of you guys experienced the charging port on the bottom of the phone not working properly? Mine is not working reliably with numerous chargers. Was wondering if this may be a widespread issue or if it's just me

Only issue I had was that my phone would lock up using a SG3 charger so stopped using it.

I didn't charge last night and so I plugged mine in at work today with only 8% battery left. I checked it later and was down to 5%, my old Evo 3d charger didn't seem to do anything to it. I powered down, unplugged everything, removed battery and then reconnected and it finally started charging. It charges very slow at 1amp but it's charging now at least.

it really prefers the 2 amp charger... it's a phablet after all... try the stock or tablet chargers (with the stock cable) I bet they work wonders

+1 to this! I was having the same problem until I realized that the charger that comes with the phone is 2amp. As long as I charge with that or my touchpad charger, I am good to go.

I noticed that the port may be a little deeper than some cables allow for. I haven't had a chance to verify this, but you may want to check the cable you're using for a good fit.

The real problem is in the charger itself. I tried using an HTC charger and it was a no go. The stock charger is a 2 AMP version and that is the way to go. It actually charges quite quickly on the appropriate charger.

I've used Blackberry, HTC, Motorola chargers... all worked for me.

I've had my phone for about a week and I am also experiencing issues with the charger port. It happens randomly. I would connect the charger and it wouldn't charge but if I try again moments later, it will charge. I also experienced it go from charging to not charging, repeatedly. (My charger works fine, I tested it with other devices)

If it is not a 2amp charger, it is going to be an intermittent problem!

Using 4 different chargers on mine ranging from .5 amps to 2 amps. No problems charging.

Charging takes forever! Normal?

Ok so I never really paid attention to how long it takes my phone to charge 100%..
So last night I put my phone on the charger at midnight, woke up at 350am and it was at 55%....
It tok my phone about 5 1/2 hours to fully charge. Normal??
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

Not normal... My son used to keep putting the charger tip in his mouth and it messed up the pins inside my charging cable.... Tried to clean it with a tooth brush and it worked for a few weeks but started undercharging again. Maybe the pins inside yours are dirty? Bought a new charging cable and it works fine now for me...

Yes I am.
Not sure if it makes any difference but, I have it plugged into an extension cord.
Would plugging it into the wall directly be it?

I have the same issue on jedi x 11 rom saber kernel I believe. When I'm on stock It takes 2 to 3 hours to charge fully. I use the oem charger that came with it as well. I would hate to stop using this rom for that reason.

Mine does the same thing. But I use a desktop dock. If I use just the oem charger and cord it charges fast though.
Adding on a usb extension or using a different usb cord slows it down though.

The computer didn't make a difference, but I took charger out of surge protector and plug directly into wall and it's charging like my stock that charges fine with the surge protector. Can't figure out why stock charges fine with surge protector and jedi x11 rom doesn't. Either way I found my solution.

Its because the dock charger is maybe 800ma output. The wall charger is 2amp charger. The wall charger is best for quick charge. It takes about 1-2 hours with perseus kernel.

Omg I have the same problem.
I tried charging my Note 2 last night before going to bed. Phone @ 60%. Woke up 7-8 hours later and it was @ 97%. I used an extension USB 3.0 cable (10-15ft) after the AC adapter then hooked up a BlackBerry USB to MicroUSB.
I thought something was wrong w/ my Rom since I plugged it into the wall to charge, and if I do anything w/ screen on, it would end up draining even though plugged in.
I plugged the phone to my comp, which uses the stock Note 2 USB cable, and it charges fairly fast.
My problem is I used to have a Galaxy S3 and Nexus S before that, and it never had this slow charging issue with the same AC adapter + extension + usb-microusb setup.

Im having the same problem .... I would put my phone to charge around 9pm with 20-30 percent and I would wake up at 6am and my phone would be at 80-90 percent charging ...

I installed some monitoring widgets that monitor input charge. I think something is seriously wrong with roms. The input rate is 1600-1800. However it is still taking forever to charge via stock oem wall adapter + cable. I have to reboot to have it charge normally. Not sure what's causing it. Will charge fine, but then after a day or so of use, it ends up charging super slow regardless of where I charge.
Just had my phone charge from 87%-93% in 30-40 minutes.
My Galaxy S3 charged almost twice as fast.

I use Battery Monitor Widget Pro. Also Elixir E2 widgets for tiles that show the charge rates.

Mine charges from like 10% to 100% in like three hours. Running JediM13.
Try cleaning your battery contacts and the contacts for the phone. Might help. Maybe your outlet output is lower? If you can, try cleaning the microUSB port. I usually try to clean my contacts regularly.
I don't know much- just throwing out random ideas

those with slow charge, should try getting a new usb cord. even if your phone is charging doesn't necessarily mean your micro usb cable is 100% working. everytime i start experiencing slow charge i buy a new one and charge time goes back to normal. i've gone through 4 oem samsung micro usb cables since my s2 days.

My phone dies while using it while plugged into wall charger? Is this normal?

So i had my phone for a while and just noticed this. When my battery gets real low I plug it in to the wall charger. It seems that if I continue to use it while charging, the charger cannot keep up with the use and it eventually dies and shuts off. Is this normal? Any fixes? Thanks.

Thats not normal either battery or charger problem. Try to use different charger first.

This IS the correct answer, I have 2 samsung chargers, 1 is fast as hell, the other slow.
It is the charger.

If you're using it faster than you can replenish it, yeah, that's "normal".
Even my 1amp charger can't keep up of I'm playing Ingress.
