My phone only charges when it's turned off - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A week ago my phone suddenly didn't charge and stuck on whatever battery percentage it was on and only charges when it's turned off.
I've tried replacing the battery with a new one and use another charger but the issue still the same. Until I've changed the ROM, it started to charge normally; So I reflashed the old ROM I was using (AICP Nougat 7.1) and installed ampere to see how much current is flowing during charging and it was between 875 and 1025mA then I enabled the option to see charing info on the lock screen and it was reading the following current as 1mA only and 0mA if I'm charging it from my laptop. (see the attachments below)
I've tried doing a clean flash of the ROM and flash a new kernel(Hybrid v9) and it still the same. no matter what charger or cable I use.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
Thanks

In hybrid kernel try set 2000mA in boeffla-config app for AC currient charge section and turn on `ignore unstable power` and `ignore safety margin`.
It works for me.

[Q] Charing problem

So I recently flash CM7 RC1, and I tried to charge my battery for the first time with the ROM, it doesn't charge.... I plugged in my USB to PC and started transferring and pushed some files in. Then I noticed that it my phone wasn't charging, and then I tried using the AC charger and it shows its charging for like a couple of minutes then states your battery is low and stuff. I then go into settings and checked out the status of my battery. It shows "Discharging" any ideas what this means and why its not charging?

Does it charge when the phone is off? If it does go into CWM and wipe battery stats under advanced and see if it fixes it for you

I tried that, left it for the whole night, nothing. I can't even power up the phone with the battery. I believe I have a dead battery . I guess those 3500mAH batteries on ebay is cheap for a reason....

Picassowifi - CM12.1 - Battery % decreasing while charging until reboot

Hi,
Situation as follows:
15% battery - "low battery" notification
14%, plug in charger
13% WTF -> Settings app shows,that tablet is charging
Reboot (this fixes the problem)
21%
The thing is:
I do not understand why this is happening. It COULD be related to CM12.1 or to the tablet (hardware). I am currently on the nightly from 8th February, but this is happening for a quite long time now...
Any ideas?
Thanks
Tablet hardware, look for reseating battery or replacing for our tablet on YouTube, mine does same from stock to cm13

Getting the same. The battery charge level is going crazy. Sometimes 15% and decreasing switch off tablet, unplug, replug boot, it now shows 60% (rom is in line with kernel)
So I'd say hardware kernel interaction when true level goes under 20%. Also make sure to have a proper charger and cable.
I seem to have it less often with stock rom.
Nothing to worry about when you know it..
Hi,
I tried to clean flash cm12.1 with opengoogleapps. Reporting back what happens
Hello,
do you have any updates on this issue? I experience exactly the same...tablet turns off, because of low battery, when I turn it on directly afterwards it claims ~30%-50% battery left.
I tried recalibrating the battery without any visible effect.
I do not know what helped....
I did 2 things:
Change the Micro USB cable to a high quality one (I use the one, which shipped with my paperwhite)
I use a different charger ( http://www.amazon.de/gp/switch-lang...ef=cs_switchlang?ie=UTF8&language=en_GB&psc=1 )
This resolved the issue for me (I did try a lot. Maybe I did clean caches in recovery).
Hope this helps !

extremely slow charging

Hey
So I used to have a steady 30 - 45% per hour charge time on my desire eye using the stock charger not 2.0 fast charge
Now after leaving it connected to the charger while flashing a rom (this was a total mistake) I can't seem to get the charge rate to above 20% per hour same or different charger so it takes extremely long to charge
HELP ANYONE??
Check your charging cable for any damage.
Also check if you have some problems with battery (for example, MRA bug cause a huge battery drain, that also decrease charging speed, also overheating).
If your battery is OK, than maybe you need a new charger.
Most probably MRA issue, install xposed module "Marshmallow Radio Active Fix" in order to fix this issue. Your welcome. Oh on the other hand if u do not have MRA issue do not try installing this module just in case cuz I tried that and let me tell u it crashed my phone and caused boot loops.

Stock charger very slow

Far from fast charging, the stock charger is painfully slow. I'd let my battery get down to about 20% last night, put it on charge and woke up 6 or 7 hours later and it was at 87%. I put it on an old Sony charger and it was up to 94% in a few minutes.
I noticed that on the stock charger it says "Charging on USB", while on the Sony charger it's "Charging on AC". It's like it's just not seeing the stock charger properly at all.
That's not right. Are you using the original cable too?
The stock charger is a rapid 24w charger.
I know, it makes no sense. Yes, using the original cable. I did try an alternative cable but it made no difference.
The problem seems to be caused by stock charger, use another charger.
Try steps below:
While P2 is still charging at 50% or below (using stock Rapid/Rocket charger and cable), simply restart P2 using Power button > Restart.
Thanks wzedlare, I did that of course, as I said in my original post! However it does not do rapid charge.
Thanks azeemzuhair, I'll try that tonight.
Maybe the ambient temperature is too high? I noticed slower Charing performance when the ambient temperature was too high.

I had the same problem today, I found out that the problem was the screensaver. Disabling it solved the problem
Thanks Uibon, I'd say probably not the temperature, it's winter here so the bedroom is a bit chilly! I hadn't used the phone much before putting it on charge, so I'd be thinking not. Also I switched to the Sony charger and it showed "AC", switched back to the Lenovo charger and it showed "USB".
Thanks Korax94, I don't have a screensaver enabled, so not that.
I tried the power cycle tip, didn't help. I think I'll forget about speed charging and just stick withe the Sony charger, that works well enough!
You do aware that the rapid/rocket charger and cable carries 1 year warranty. Head over to nearest LeMoto Service Centre to claim...
Thanks azeemzuhair, I'm in Australia, it's all via web as far as I can see.
I'll monitor it a bit more and see if I can pin down the issue a bit better before I call them.

Question (Help) Buggy USB charging behavior

So I'm running the latest version of Microg for Lineage (20230313) & rooted on my Poco F3 and I'm having some serious problems with charging my phone.
About a week ago I downloaded Advanced Charging Controller (ACCA) because I wanted do automate charging overnight and stuff. What I didn't know however was that some Xiaomi Devices appear to have a buggy PMIC that causes trouble. And that's exactly what I noticed when I tried to regulate the maximum charging current. My Phone just wouldn't want to charge up anymore when I tried limiting the current. So eventually I just gave up on the whole Idea and uninstalled the app. However my Phone ever since behaves weird when charging.
On my PC (normal 5v slow charging) it just refused to charge at all. I then tried connecting it to the included power adapter and that worked fine. So fast charging worked normally. When I then plugged it to my PC I think it worked fine again. Or at least I got it to charge after some reboots or so.
However battery usage overnight has increased quite a lot ever since. Every morning I wake up with 15-20% less battery than the moment I put my phone aside before I went to sleep. Before that was a lot less. I don't know how much exactly but I believe it was around 5% or so (I might be wrong here).
When I plug in my phone to charge it up I get the android notification "Charging this device via USB" as usual. But when I unplug the USB cable the notification will not disappear until I click on it and then select file transfer or any of the options and then after a second or two it will go away and the options become grayed out. The battery indicator however does report that the phone does not charge anymore the instant I disconnect the USB cable.
Now today I connected the phone to my PC again and wanted to charge it. But it just didn't want to charge once again and the android notification didn't show up. So I connected it to the included power adapter which worked fine. And then I connected it back to my PC and it now charges flawlessly and the notification even disappears after disconnecting the USB cable.
I believe that the high battery usage overnight has something to do with android still showing the "Charging this device via USB" notification because AccuBattery reports that the phone won't go into deep sleep mode when the screen is turned off. And now after I shortly connected the phone to the included power adapter to (at least temporarily?) fix the issues the phones does go into deep sleep mode. So I assume android thinks the phone is still being charged and thus doesn't enter deep sleep mode even though the device is not charging.
However I'm quite annoyed by the weird behavior of the phone, especially the high battery usage overnight. Things I have tried to resolve this issue include: Reflashing both slot a and b with the latest version of LineageOS. Going into fastboot and typing "fastboot reboot bootlaoder" into CMD hoping that would reset the PMIC or something (because I read that somewhere). None of this seems to have resolved my issues. Maybe there are some configuration files that Advanced Charging Controller (ACCA) left behind the cause trouble however I have no Idea how to find and delete them.
I would really appreciate any advice from you as this is my daily driver.
Oh and feel free to ask any questions if you need further details.
Pococ31 support
Really
Try reflashing to stock miui and see if the problem still persist.
I had the same problem and i tried the following:
1)reflash firmware
2)reflash LOS
3)wipe everything and reflash
It was only fixed after flashing stock rom and relocking the bootloader.
Try flashing stock miui and reloading bootloader
If you want slower charging, why don't you just use a different, slower charger?
Altho have to say, temps should be fine with the 33w charger, just don't use the phone while charging.
ACC works fine for me, but I only use it for limiting the max charge-% to 80%
I'd say reflash & factory reset your ROM. And stop using PC Motherboard Charging, it's pointlessly slow.
Similar issue happens with my Poco F3 about using ACCA and limiting current, phone just charges and stops charging then charges again and then stops charging again, rinse and repeat, on average this makes the phone only charge at like 1500mA or so even though I am limiting it to 3000 or 4000 mA.
There is something that works better though, not as precise as what you want, but simply limiting charging voltage instead of limiting current works without issues in my phone, so for example if you limit it at 4150mV it will start charging at the max speed possible, but as charge percentage increases, charging voltage also needs to increase to maintain the same charging speed, so for example when you are at 35% charge, it will no longer charge at maximum mA but maybe 20% lower of max speed, for example 4800 mA instead of 5700 mA, and when you are at 50% speed would be 4000 mA, these are just invented numbers so you get an idea, you can lower these numbers by decreasing charging voltage and increase them by increasing charging voltage.

Acc kills charging chips on poco, charge controller is very buggy that in fact major roms disabled the feature of charge control entirely.
Expect more problems down the line after using it...
