Charging on cruise ship - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Just passing along my experience on my cruise this week. I was running tweaked with faux kernal and everything was great. Charging at the hotel/airport was fine. I plug my phone in the first night on the ship and nothing is happening. I tried my wife's charger same result. Every plug in the room same result. My wife's s3 charged on both chargers fine. I eventually restored a nandroid of omni rom with Agni kernal. Still no charging. In the Agni settings there is a setting to dismiss unstable power. As soon as I checked that I had no problem charging my n2. I hope this helps someone else if they have a similar experience.

I keep my checked at all times, but this is good to know....

That is there because the battery needs to charge in a specific way or there are dangers involved. I doubt samsung's battery would blow but if you're using a third party then I would advise against this.

Did this just start happening with the new kernel? If you are sure it isnt a hardware/battery issue, I would set it back to stock and see if that fixes it. Hopefully its just a bad combination of kernel/rom. Good luck !
You know what it might be the kernal I using the Trinity kernal experimental 537. I'm flash back to the stable version. See if that helps.

Am on everything Stock...
I have never gone into any such issues like this b4...
If i feel like battery drain or something like tat.. I do wipe cache and dalvik and install the ROM and fix permission in CWM...
Then it will be back again..
Its my Daily driver. So most of the time i will be on Calls and msgs and also Wifi and bluetooth will be on 24/7
Auto Sync on..
My Battery will Remain till nxt day morning and still i will be having 25~30% left out...

Note 2 Charge problems

So im very new to XDA and just signed up a couple days ago. I have been searching for a answer to my problem and have found very similar topics but none as exact as mine. I apologize if this is not in the right thread or if it has already been answered with a solution in some way.
The problem I am having is my phone is very slow at charging. I usually go to bed around 930-10 and place my phone on the charger and wake back up at 530am. My phone will be between 15-30%, going to bed and when I wake up it will only be anywhere from 60-90%. When I first bought the phone it would charge within a couple of hours. The phone was only 4 months old. I have already had best buy swap the phone, charger, and battery. I have also tried different outlets, on surge protectors and off surge protectors. I have tried different roms with different kernels. I have tried battery monitors and widgets. As well as turning on airplane mode and turning off the phone, with not much luck.
Im running out of ideas and still no solution. Please help.

I had exact same problem several times with combination of cleanrom + perseus kernel.
The solution was reflash perseus several times or stay with stock kernel.
I havent tried persus kernel yet. The problem all started on note 2 stock rom and kernel. I tried different roms and kernels in a attempt to see if it was with stock rom or stock kernel.
Looking up persus though, it looks alot better. I could possibly give it a try. Also I failed to mention that the best buy replacement charger is very suspect and I ordered an official samsung note 2 charger on ebay (hope its legit) in hopes that it could be a charger issue. It shipped yesterday. Ill repost if its a fix or not.

You can try this here to see what charging current your phone is getting while it's on the charger!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free
I'm getting 1698 mAh from my charger not using stock cable! Fyi
With stock cable, same charger, I'll get 1300 mAh output!
But with Perseus kernel then you'll get 1800 mAh max output charge! If you wanting a higher charging input.
Try to find a thicker cable should give you more output. I read it somewhere and tried it and it worked.:thumbup:

Forget about the 1968 all is good there.
AC wall charge should be at 900 & above , 900 & below are USB to PC charge values so you have a problem.
Best bet , Install different kernel

Now is that 900 and above for the "now" or max and avg? Cause like I said my now is above 900. I definitely will try a new kernel if you think it will help. Also like I mentioned before I thought it might of been the charger, then best buy sent me another samsung charger, but not a note 2 charger. It looks real sketchy. Like it came from the dollar store. So I bought my own (another) samsung galaxy note 2 charger and I am waiting for it to come in the mail, so I can give that one a try.

Your welcome bruh!!! Ok if your stock GN2 charger is not there and your using a different one then just wait till your other arrives! Because the other one might not be a true 2 amp. And giving you those faulty current flows!!!

While on AC wall max should be at 900 +......Same with Avg.
Its normal for values to vary, Sometimes when charging my Max reads 1800 yet Avg displays 1200.....its all over the place on some charges.
Don't let the numbers haunt you....been there done that , If device fully charges within 3.5 Hr your fine
Ok cool. I will definitely take that into consideration. Although I will say my avg and max are extremely low. Im betting its this charger. Hoping too. Ill find out in a day or two lol

Thanks alot for this. I recently switched rom and kernel with the Jedi x 15 rom and I am using that kernel. Dont know if I still need to apply this mod or not? I will say however that the phone did complete a full charge but at about 6hrs charging. I know that because I had "battery calibration" app installed and had it set to beep at 100% charge. The beep woke me up at aroubd 530 and I went to bed aroubd 11.
I also tracked the package for this new chsrger. It is said to be delievered today. So I hope that its a chsrger related issue. I will fill you guys in later today when it arrives.
Thanks everybody again.

Jedi combo is a solid performer rates should improve & yes Video sleep player mod helps a lot.

Well guys new charger came in! Already it looks better. Battery is charging while using it. Its going faster and now when I use the samsung charging lite app its saying my avg max and now are above 1800 when before they were around 200.
Thanks again everybody for all your support and help! Hopefully this will be the last time I have to come back to this thread for battery issues.
Although I still want to install thr mods you recommended sling.

I flashed xenonhd and battery life was messed up, tried different kernels too. So I flashed beanstalk, and when I tried charging it, it took hours to get from 67 - 73. Unplugged it, plugged it back in, everything is good now. Try a different cable or plug, don't do dirty flashes

Hey guys, small continuation of this thread...
I'm having the same issue, on Clean ROM 3.3, and Perseus. Dirty Flashes? What would constitute a dirty flash? For example...should I reflash Perseus (using TWRP), and if so, how do I flash it without it being dirty? LOL.

P.S....just installed the Pro vers of Galaxy Charging, and it shows my values as MAX: 300, Now: 1698, Avg: 300. Translation? :silly:

n7105 charging slowly all the sudden.

Hey xda team. I know this title seems familiar but I havent found my problem in other threads so here we go.
My n7105 is on stock 4.1.2 and I flashed the latest perseus kernel. I changed current charging rate to 1900 and tested tha stats with galaxy charging current. Everything was fine. I always use same cable and same outlet and status is always AC. But all the sudden the phone just charges with 400 and of course it takes way longer. Status still is AC and not USB. I made a nandroid backup before I flashed the perseus kernel and went back to my original kernel, but the problem is still there. So Im little confused if there is something wrong with hardware or so.
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried a different lead

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.

He uses saber kernel. And I am using it. But I dont think its rom related. Or kernel related.

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.

Note 3 won't charge unless rebooted.

Since last week my Note 3 won't charge unless I reboot it with the charger on. I brought a new charge port, switched roms, went back to stock and nothing. Any idea what it could be? Thanks in advance.

Bad USB cable? Does it work for transferring data?

Tried around 10 cables and a few wall chargers including original ones. With Tweaked I was getting "Dock is connected" With Hyperdrive I get "Battery charged" Always happens unless I insert the usb cable at reboot.

I had similar problem with an SM-N900V which I documented somewhere in one of the SM-N900V forums. I did not discover your trick to make it work so I swapped the battery with my newer SM-N900T. The battery fully charged in that device and has been normal ever since in both devices. The problem was caused by getting wet and I think the different device reset something in the battery.
Frank
I was thinking about the battery. Brought a new one online to see if that would do something as soon as it arrives. Thanks for the information. Will give it a try with a friend.

After re-reading this thread I recall that I have a similar problem with my Note (SGH-I717). This is probably not your problem but I'll describe it just to add information to this thread.
If the Note (SGH-I717) is off and I plug in power it turns on but does not charge. The solution is to turn on the device and wait until the first graphic image has passed before plugging in external power.

Not at all. It wasn't the battery either. I have no idea what else to try. Bootloader? Knox tripping? I really don't know.

You flashed a kernel that was either bad download or did not flash right. You need to odin back to stock not flash a stock rom. Have to odin back to clear all the wacky stuff.
