[Q] LED's!

I know I'm not the only one, we had android devices previous to this.. we had Charging LED's and when Charged.
I've noticed the nexus does not do this.. is there a way to do this? Its one feature I really do miss from my Incredible
Light flow did not work so if that's my only option then I'm screwed I guess?
Also sometimes it seems the notification system is a bit screwy, this has been on various ROMs. Is this just a nexus quirk?

Hmm interesting.. thanks! I also loved the charging led. It at least makes me less worried that my phone is still working lol.

Light Flow does charging/charged indicators.
I figured the USB cable plugged into your phone would give you a good indication of it charging though .

Unless it was updated? When I used it, it didn't show the LEDs but when I tested it, it did work.
Anyway.. I know being plugged in seems like notification enough but its a small peeve of mine and Assures me lol that it is doing its job. I'm tough on cords and usually from being constantly bended it loses connection.. then it doesn't charge and then turns into this huge hassle. If I had a charging led and charged led I would worry a lot less.

My Galaxt S3 isn't charging. Help please!

So about two weeks ago, I switched to iPhone because I'm giving my S3 to my dad. I haven't used it since then so I fully expected the battery to die. However, when I went to charge it today the LED at the top left isn't lighting on and I get this

.
Whenever I try to plug in the battery while it's connected with the USB, the red LED pops up for 3 seconds and then it goes away.
Any ideas guys? Please help me.

I did see it. But we don't have the same problem.
My phone won't even get to the boot sequence and I know it's not a brick of any kind because the phone was working fine before I switched the iP5. I left the phone in the glove compartment of my car for a week or so, is it possible that could have messed with it? The phone was inside of the box and everything so I can't imagine it got too hot.

Well did you try the suggestions there? Keeping the battery out for a while and then putting it in and trying to boot?

Yeah I did but still no dice.

couple of things
Try a different battery
Try a different charger
Sometimes extreme heat and cold (from a glove compartment) can ruin a battery or the phone itself. Extreme temps are hell on phones. It's probably a good idea to remove the batterty and keep it inside if phone is being stored. Also, some chargers to go bad...had it happen. Anyway, you might have tried these things already. Good luck!:good:

***charging issue n7100 | experience#2 [resolved]

Hi Guys,
Got a problem here. This will be my 2nd Note2 after sending it back to Samsung couple of months ago. It was charging this morning and tonight after a long day of work, I decided to play some game on it. Noticed that the battery is on 15% I decided to charge it. After 30mins I checked the status of the battery and to my amaze it was not charging! I tried 3 different cables, 2 different chargers, and none of them works. Tried my cables and chargers to a different phones and it does work. I connected my note 2 to my laptop, and it does not recognized it. Tried to charge it while it is turned off, I can see a battery icon, but it does not show the charging battery icon. It will disappear in a few seconds. Please see image below:

It's a rooted phone. Tried to clean the charging port. I even opened it without damaging the warranty sticker, and I can definitely say that there's no moist inside. But just to be sure, I blow it using a hair dryer with the temp off. But with no luck. I used to experienced this a few weeks ago where went back charging after a few minutes. But this time it's worst, it's been an hour and a half and still it is not charging. I can't do a full wipe yet since the battery got 9% left on it.
I know that if it will really not charge, to resolve it..it's either I send it back again to Samsung, replace the board myself (hope it works), or buy an external battery charger. Unless there's more that I can do to fix it.

I did but to my amazed after leaving it alone the whole night, It went back charging again. Yes I am glad that it's working again but I am worried it might happen again sooner or later. I have read some threads with the same issue and with the same outcome, I really want to know what's behind this.

So if its under warranty unroot and monitor

Stock Rooted Gnex won't mount as USB to PC

This is my first post here to xda but I've been looking for a solution to this problem for a few months now.
I rooted my Gnex with the rootkit I found through XDA and although I had to do it about ten times and it kept saying it failed, it actually seemed to have worked since I have the SU app and have been able to use Titanium Backup.
Shortly after I rooted my phone it stopped mounting as a USB drive on my computer. I tried cleaning the micro USB port, different ports on my PC, different cords, and recently even did a factory rest and it still won't mount. As an added bonus I got an OTG cable recently and it also fails to work with my phone but works with other phones I've tried like an HTC ONE and GS3 and GS4. Not sure what to do other than maybe buy a new micro USB port online and replace it myself.
Like I said I'm still fully stock and running 4.2.1(still haven't gotten my 4.3 update, not sure if its related to the possibly botched root)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

When you say mount as USB, are you saying you are trying to mount it to view all the files like a mass storage device? Because to my knowledge, the Galaxy Nexus doesnt mount like that. It mounts as MTP which is a bit different but not as a mass storage device.
Or, are you simply saying that your computer doesnt recognize your device when plugged in?
Does your phone charge fine? If so, its not your USB port.

Yes I mean mount as USB...I know its a bit different and comes up as galaxy nexus in my computer. It worked before root and now doesn't. I did have a few days of charging problems but I just cleaned the micro USB and noticed the connector inside was bent downwards a bit. I bent it up very carefully and it charges fine now. This was all post root.
And aside from unrooting(which I'm not even sure how to do) I really don't know what to do. And even if I did know how to unroot or potentially fix the root I would need the usb to work anyway right.

Exchanged devices - bootloops and other issues

Please can a mod sticky this - please record any issues with recall exchanged devices ONLY. Thanks
Start message with BOOTLOOP or OTHER ISSUE.
It will be interesting to see whether the bootloop issue goes away with exchanges.

I'm only getting my exchanged unit this Sunday. I've been without my Note 7 for four days now, after bootloops bricked my phone. So it bricks before my battery exploded.
I'm keeping a very close eye on this thread.

I'm suspecting other issues may be present...I really hope not though. The damage that would do to Samsung...

Bad performance could be related to battery problems. I own N7 exynox and had no problem with the device. Now I'm waiting for the replace phone.

I think all those problems are battery related

Scheduled for an exchange on the morning of 17 Sep. Hopefully I'll have nothing to report here. Fingers crossed.

Well the first problem I've found...

Cannot access s health or Samsung secure folder apparently caused by unauthorised software. No root. Just installed all apps that were on the previous note 7. Any ideas appreciated. I've emailed Samsung

Some people have suggested plugging it into smart switch via pc or mac and running an initialisation and firmware recovery. Saw someone suggest it could be some battery testing software that Samsung have used before shipping and not taken back off. So a reinstallation should sort it. I can't verify personally as I'm STILL awaiting a replacement device but there's a few people with your issue it seems

Trying it now thanks
