Note 2 wont charge when its shut off - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys, i need your help. My phone suddenly died when i was charging it. Tried in the charger and was able to switch on, bat perctage is still showing as 30%. wHen i removed the charger it died again repeat the same thing and was stock in samsung logo. Was able to read one forum and owner experienced the same thing. What he did was used a diff bat. Tried it and it worked, so i purchased a msn hk replacement bat, however when i tried to switch the phone off while charger was plugged, it didnt work. No red led light, bat percentage dis not increase, no bat cahrging logo, so obviously it was not charging.i Inserted usb charger again and tried to switch off the phone but it just restarted. So the big problem is, every time that the bat is fully drained, i cant charge it using a usb charger, i need to use a universal charger 1st to boot the bat a bit then palce it back again so i can switch on the phone then use the usb wall charger. to ssummarize the problem, Phone Is charging as long as it is switched on but wont charge if its off and wont shut off while charging. Any one experienced the same thing? Is this due to the replacement bat? Need ur help guys, thanks

Up guys

[Resolved] Empty desire not charging (no LED, no power on)

Hi,
last night my Desire ran out of juice, and when i woke up it was empty.
So this morning i turned it on, entered my PIN and immediatly plugged it.
When i came back later, it was not running anymore. The LED isn't green as usual, and i can't turn it on.
It charges for several hours now, and nothing happen. I tried pulling of the battery, nothing at all.
I'm running Oxygen 2.0 RC7 (Android 2.3.2) for weeks without any problems.
tl;dr : phone not charging, no led at all. plz help.
Thx in advance for your answers !
EDIT : the phone rebooted without SIM and SD cards. Weird.
I just faced the same problem. I woke up to see the battery was compelety drained and the phone was off. I plug in the charger but the led doesn't turn on. How did you resolve this? How did you manage to reboot the device?
In my case, the phone was on with the charger plugged in but battery icon is red and empty. I reboot and clear battery stat in clockworkmod, reboot and all's well again...
Resolved
Well, in my case I had drained the battery completely. The phone neither would turn on nor would charge after the battery was drained overnight. I checked that there was about 3V in all cells of the battery.
In such case, pull out the battery and plug in your charger and you can see the led flash in all colors. This will make sure that the problem is with the drained battery and not the phone. Leave the charger plugged in for about 10-15 mins without the battery. Then put the battery back on and charge your phone, it should start charging and you will be able to see the red led. Now, let it charge till till your battery is fully charged.
i also have the problem that the phone want charge
when i insert the charger (with removed battery) sometimes the led starts flashing and sometimes it does not
at the first time i tried your method and waited for about 10 minutes
at next i inserted the battery but the phone didnt start to charge and now the led want start flashing when i connect it to the charger
ME Too1!!!!

Similar issues
I have a rooted and lightly modded stock 2.3.6 but I've been having these issues ever since I rooted and I was on stock 2.3.5
1. Charger sometimes doesn't charge at all
2. If I'm on a call via bluetooth and I connect it, it won't charge until I hang up
3. My previous charger for my t959 was working for the 1st week and now it doesn't charge my phone at all.
4. after i plug in my phone to my oem charger it takes about 10 seconds to recognize it and then starts charging
I don't know what the hell this is but it's pissing me off. I've done a wiped dalvik and don't a clean install and nothing changes. I didn't have this problem the 1st week i had the phone but now on my 3rd week it's pissing me off.
I hope someone has an answer or at least a similar problem.
I think it is charging. It just not showing it is charging until your turn on the screen.
Happen to my phone too, but it is charging.
I would love it show the orange light when charging and green light on full charge.

Battery won't charge/Weird battery problems

Hey guys, I recently had a problem with my screen turning on and off on it's own but finally it stopped. But now I'm having even worse problems.
Basically what is happening is that my phone won't charge. Last night it was at 60% and I put it in the charger. I woke up in the middle of the night and I checked my phone and it was fully charged, so I went back to bed. When I woke up in the morning to take my phone it was only at 49%, so I plugged it back in and it charged to 54% before I had to go. I barely used to phone all day to conserve on power since I didn't really have much left. So, it's at 40% battery when I get back home and I plug it into to charge. I left it for an hour or two and went to go check on it. It didn't charge at all. In fact all the stats were saying that it was discharging. So I unplugged it from the back side (where the charger is in the wall) and the lightning bolt was still in the top corner. I freaked out and unplugged it from the usb port and it stopped, when I plugged it back into the usb (without power from the power outlet) it showed that it was still charging which was really weird. I tried everything such as taking out the battery and putting back in. I even tried to use a different usb cable to charge it with no success. But still everything says it's discharging.
I have no idea what to do? Could this a sign that the battery is failing, should I buy a new one? Does anybody have any idea of what might be happening? I've been looking everywhere but I haven't found any solutions
It's probably input voltage dropping caused by USB cable. Try another cable and see.
Well the problem stopped for a few days but now it back again, I plug it in to charge and it just doesn't charge, it recognizes that it's plugged in but it just won't charge.
I'm now attempting to charge it with a different cable again to see if it works. If it doesn't could this be a sign of a battery issue? Because if it is I can buy one tomorrow.
I'm starting to think it might be the charging point, hypothetically if I were to send it to Samsung for repairs, how much would they charge for replacing the charging port. Or would it easier to replace it myself if I were to buy one off ebay? How difficult is it to replace the charging port?

[Q] Problems charging/holding a charge/can't boot

Having massive issues right now. Last night I left my phone plugged in AC to charge and ran a sleep tracker app. Woke up this morning and found the phone dead. I tried unplugging and plugging again multiple times and managed to get the Red LED blinking then it went steady indicating it was charging. Turned the phone on but as if it wasn't charging anymore, it powered off within minutes. I managed to get recovery running and factory reset (running CM10). Same issue still there. I even tried leaving the phone in hboot and recovery to charge but after 10 mins the battery went flat again. Now I've just left the phone off and plugged into AC. The blinking LED came on again then went steady - but after 15 mins the LED light disappears. I just left it like that, now the phone tries to boot up but gets stuck at HTC logo. Also it is incredibly hot.
Any ideas? Really need help here.
Additional info, installed NFS: Most Wanted yesterday, tried playing but phone really overheated big time. Could that have cause the motherboard to fry? Just seems odd though cause it boots up fine, just won't stay on - can't even get past the initial setup wizard.
Also I would take it back to Vodafone AU but since I can't get the phone up long enough to restore to stock, they might find out I've rooted and thus voiding my warranty.
I had the same problem. I installed NFS MW and it drained my battery like help and when i tried recharging it it wouldnt charge
at all. Even when i pluged the phone on it wouldnt charge. Tried a different cable. For all it could be a adapter/cable problem.
That was what it was for me. I tried a different charger and it worked. If you are using a different charger, use something with 1A output.
If the led is blinking, it means that the battery is verryy low.
once your phone turns on, turn the airplane mode ON and display OFF and wait a few minutes before using the phone.
no luck

Yea, I tried using a different cable, even tried using my old iPod USB to wall adapter. No luck there, but I think I'm on to something now. Thanks anyway
getting there

Hey, yea I figured that much from searching around. Too bad it's such a big flaw. I couldn't sustain a charge at all when I was still on CM10. Couldn't even finish booting up and it would just die. Voltage was super low was my guess. Tried using the fastboot charging script (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658084&page=5) and managed to get battery up enough to flash stock boot.img, did a nandroid restore to Stock ROM then flashed stock recovery. Seems to be stable now, in airplane mode and display off. Started up phone at 4% and now it's at 6% so fingers crossed :fingers-crossed: Thanks for the reply though - needing all the tips I can get!

help, my phone stops charging

hello guys,
i need help figuring what is wrong with my phone. it cannot be charged right now, even when plugged in with charger,
the charger and cable i used dont seems to be the problem as i tested with my other phone too.
i have tried changing charging port and battery, but it still didnt solve it. so here i am asking for your opinions.
last week, my phone stops charging when plugged in and the battery wont go up when charged, i tried using same charger and cable to charge my other phone but those didnt seem to be the problem. after that, my phone eventually ran out of battery and died.
then, i thought my charging port has problem, so i buy new one and change the charging port.
but that didnt not solve my problem, as my phone did not even boot when plugged in and when i tried to charge it after that.
then, i assume it was my battery that has problem. so i bought new battery, fortunately, the new battery came in with 50% of battery juice. but after i try to charged it, the problem still there, the phone still cannot be charged.
this time, i checked with the ampere app for my charging status and found that when plugged in, initially the phone is charging, but after few seconds, the charging stops and it will repeat the charge-stop charge cycle. this is also visible with my charging led light.
however, i dont remember if this charge-stop charge cycle was there initially last week, i only remember it just stops charging, so i didnt know whether this is another problem or the same one initially.
things that i have also tried
1. i also tried changing the charging port to the old one and it didnt do anything, same as im using the new charging port. the problem still there.
2. i also tried using usb file transfer to test whether the charging port are problematic overall or just the charging part is problem. my usb connection has no problem as i can steadily transfer file for few minutes without disconnecting. so i assume my new charging port has no problem then.
3. i also tried flashing stock rom as i thought maybe kernels and stuff from custom rom messing things up. but it also didnt solve it.
4. i also tried turning the phone off and charging it, the phone boots up to charging screen, but the battery keeps dropping instead.
i dont really mind if this phone cant be saved anymore, i already backup important stuff from it, i just wanted to try fixing it for fun now.
also, english is not my first language, sorry if there are parts that is hard to understand.
Maybe some partitions are corrupted(like persist or any other)... search on xda how to flash those partitions. And try flash full MIUI fastboot ROM. Khmm if this doesn't work than I'm out of ideas. You can buy charger for battery only, for playing around until you gonna find a fix. Better than buying new one.
Good luck.
