Looked in the common issues thread and didn't see anything about it, a google search, and did a search in the forum itself and also did not see it posted in there so I'm making a new thread...
The only charging issues I could find were those not able to charge off a USB cable and Touchstone chargers.
I cannot charge when booted into CM7. Charger looks like its working (charge icon shows battery filling up) but it never actually charges. Charges fine in WebOS but it sucks having to charge it, and then reboot into CM7. FYI this is on the stock wall charger. I have checked the plug end to make sure it is connected properly to the piece that plugs into the wall.
Wondering if anyone has run into this or if there is a solution I have missed in my searches. Thanks!
Tp uses more volts than normal chargers. Younhave to use the one came with tp. I read somewhere tp uses 5.3 where as normal chargers use 5v.. I can be wrong about exact numbers.

That's just it, I AM using my normal charger that came with the touchpad. Not charing it USB, but straight from a wall outlet. Works fine in WebOS, but not in CM7
I'm experiencing the same thing. If anyone could help...

Known issue and possible fix at link below:
rootzwiki. com/topic/8853-working-sod-fix-from-dalingrin
There seems to be a few fixes coming in Alpha3 related to battery drain and charging:
code. google. com/p/cmtouchpad/issues/list?can=2&q=&sort=milestone
You will need to remove the spaces in the links above as I havent had eight posts yet :/
I tried that fix just now. It didn't work. In fact it doesn't even give me the charging symbol like it did before. It just will stay at 0% until I unplug it and then it goes yo the battery thing and then after that boots into cm7 where from 1% dies to 0% but still stays on as long as its plugged in.

It was a fairly lengthy discussion thread, perhaps there are some additional tips within it.
The issue is documented here I think:
code. google. com/p/cmtouchpad/issues/detail?id=473&sort=milestone
Mine actually worked the other day. I was able to charge in CM7 somehow. I have not made any changes to it. I'll keep this thread updated on my next charge.

I have a white galaxy note on AT&T rooted with saurom 7.1 and for some reason when I use my USB extension with the original or after market charging wire the phone will not charge, in fact it still uncharges while I'm using it but it shows it plugged in.
It's not the rom because it did it before I flashed it from stock and also on the ICS leak and now again on saurom 7.1. Without the extension though it charges perfectly normal and quickly. One day it took 6 hours to go from 2% to 13% while it wasn't in use. I've also tried using other extensions I have and the one identical one did the same thing and another shorter one actually didn't allow the phone to charge at all or show it was plugged in... What gives?

I would recalibrated the battery using a app that requires root in market.....wait till it hits 100 then recalibrate it....then let it drain all the way down....charge to 100 then do it again....this way the battery and system knows the true values...just my opinion I would try

Are you plugging into a wall outlet or a USB port on computer. There are a number of battery threads on here, but the quick recap is that the USB port on your computer isn't going to charge your Note very quickly or at all when you use it because the USB port doesn't provide enough power.
It'll charge much faster from the wall.
And even faster if you're not using it.

From the wall with a USB extension it took 5-6 hours to go up 12% without it, it goes to 12% in 5-7 minutes. This is without using it.

I had the same problem with my note, it wouldn't charge via data cable or factory charging cable or 3rd party cable. After speaking with Samsung they said that this is a known issue, but did not tell me what the issue was except that it did not affect the battery. They sent me a new device, and was instructed to use my original back cover, battery, and they sent me a replacement factory charging cable and was instructed to use it exclusively. I got the feeling it was a port/cable issue and that they were well aware of it with an efficient return policy set up. Maybe you won't have to go this route, but a free (new, not reman) phone is a free phone.
Alright so my Vibrant won't charge. I JUST recovered my phone from a brick, (I was having issues with the battery life on Slim Roms 4.0 compared to 3.9--in the middle of flashing back I accidently wiped my internal memory. As I was recovering it using Odin, my fat cat jumped on my bed and caught on my phone cord bricking it.) Flashed using Heimdall and was able to get my phone into working order.
Now, I placed Slim Roms 4.0 back on my phone initially after the unbricking to have something working on it, even though the battery life less than impressed me.
So I charged it like normal yesterday, got it to 100% and was fine and dandy with it working. (Still sucking up battery life like a vampire in a fat camp.)
So the update 4.1 went live yesterday, I flashed it immediately to that. The battery life was amazing! So I do the normal thing when I flash to a new ROM. Let it die completely before charging it completely. It's now dead and will not charge.
Symptoms;
I plugged in my normal cable for work (a cheap cable I purchased off of Ebay.) And up comes the round loading symbol. Followed by a darkening of the screen, followed by nothing.
One thing to note, is while it has it's loading circle on, the bottom buttons light up when I touch them.
My Steps;
-I attempted different USB ports since I charge through my work computer. No luck.
-I "borrowed" my co-workers USB cord and USB to wall plug. Attempted the new cable in the computer first. No luck.
-Plugged the borrowed USB into the wall charger. Same thing happens.
-Used my own cheapy cable in wall charger. Same thing.
-Took co-workers complete set and plugged it in in a different room. Nothing.
-Took out my battery, plugged in USB, placed battery back in. Nothing.
-Hold down the Vibrant buttons to get into Bootloader, it resets the loading circle and nothing more.
So now I'm sitting here wondering what to do. I do not have rubbing alcohol readily available, however since it charged to 100% yesterday I do not believe that is the issue, but I'd be willing to try if I had access.
Something you should know, I am using a Samsung Epic 4G battery in my phone.
-For those who might judge saying it is dumb, I have gotten 54 hours out of that battery on one ROM before, that is with texting, talking on the phone and installing apps. I'm fond of this thing, however I have my stock battery at home still.-
Any suggestions you guys have would be appreciated. I have tried things that I found on this forum and basic tech support to no avail. (I am at work so the things I can use are fairly limited. However cords are of no shortage.)
Alright, I unplugged my phone from being plugged into the wall charger for an hour and 3 minutes later it decides to turn itself on.. Not sure what's going on but I'm not going to complain.
So my question now is, can anyone explain this or help prevent this in the future?
From what I've heard draining a battery until it dies can damage it. But, I'm not an expert on that. It's possible that the battery needed more time to recover from the drain.

I had something similar happen when running lithium volt ROM. My battery completely died and the phone cut off (obviously.) I plugged it in the charger and it immediately tried to boot the phone up but it was bootlooping at the startup screen. I let it sit there for 20 minutes or so thinking maybe it is charging but as soon as i unplug the charger the phone cut off. Luckily I have an extra battery, popped it in, flashed a new ROM thinking that was the problem, turns out it was something to do with the ROM(maybe it needed a certain amount of battery power to boot up). My completely dead battery worked on the cm7 ROM I flashed, plugged in the charger and it booted up normally and started charging.

Thank you. I might just have to downgrade back to 3.9. It's almost a shame. xD

You need to use your Samsung usb charger, and wall adapter only. These two are the only ones that will actually work. I had this same problem and realized it was because I wasn't using the Samsung stuff. Even when pugging into the computer, use the Samsung USB cabe only. As for the battery your using... I wouldn't recommend it, no matter the fantastic battery life you must be getting.

ROM. some roms do that. it will not let you power up while charging if the battery is very low. you will get the circle and the battery symbol after. sometimes you still cant unless you pull the battery. happened to me many times
This is completely unacceptable. I understand that phones will ship with bugs, but updates should fix those bugs. I should or have to reboot every time I pug into a USB based charger. Ridiculous.
What is your issue specifically? Might do more good to state the troubles rather than just complain. Because to me it just sounds like you have a bad phone.

This is a known issue with every note that has been discussed at length in many threads since the phone was released. Basically if you charge the phone from a USB based source, as opposed to a wall charger, it won't go into deep sleep ever after you unplug it. You must reboot or plug into a wall charger to fix the issue.

Its a software problem in the kernel so you most certainly do you just may not be aware of it. Here is a good test:
1. Plug your phone into one of those USB based car chargers. What this is is a unit that goes into your cigarette lighter and has a USB female plug on top. You then connect your phone to it via a USB cable.
2. Let it charge for a few minutes with screen off.
3. Unplug.
4. Turn screen on, open cpuspy and reset timers.
5. Turn screen off and wait a few minutes.
6. Unlock phone and launch cpuspy and click refresh.
What youll see is that your deep sleep time is zero and it spent all or most of its time at 384mhz.
You must then reboot or plug back into wall charger for it to fix itself.
maybe this is why it takes so long to charge?
Fortunately now that source has dropped a custom kernel can be deved to fix it.

never had this problem
I bought a charger at Sams and its the best charger I have owned
Charges at 1 amp and is very sturdy
I just tested it by first plugging my phone into my laptop then by plugging it into a wall charger which has USB on it. After trying the laptop it came back fine, deep sleep and everything. I plugged it into the wall charger through it's USB port and I'll be damned, it didn't deep sleep. I seem to exclusively use wallplug to USB adapters. I wonder if this is why my battery dies so quickly. I'll have to test the adapter in my truck and the one I use at home and I'll report back if anyone is interested or if there's any relevant information. The adapter I used at my office is an apple adapter and it caused the issue.

Instead of the normal 1% drain per hour in standby it will do up to 10% per hour in standby because it doesn't deep sleep.

Hey guys,
I have been searching but I can't find any 'good' thread with information about my issue. Well, my issue is that I experience VERY slow charging on my Galaxy S3 since I updated to Jelly Bean. Sometimes it is really fast, like it was always but it became alot slower compared to ICS. I have checked everything and it's no hardware issue or something like that. When I install a new Jelly Bean rom my first charge goes fast like it should. But then the next charge it goes slow. Like 2% each 15 minutes. First this was on ICS about 1% each 1 minute .20 seconds... Anybody got an idea?
Could it be an app causing this issue? If yes, is there any possibility to know what app it is instead install every app separate en checking this..
Thanks in advance!
(Btw if you're experiencing the same, tell me!)

Installed now the Android Revolution HD ROM it it seems to charge faster now... Alot faster... I'm hoping it's fixed with this ROM!
What kernel u choose?
Stock kernel or Perseus custom kernel in AROMA installer ?
Running android 4.1.2 jelly bean rom Android Revolution HD. My battery is again charging slow. So slow that I plugged it in about 1 hour and 15 minutes ago and that it decreased from 30 tot 32 with usage. Lol. any solution?
Kernel info:
3.0.36-Perseus-alpha27 blablabla...
You could try if Siyah Kernel solves the issue.
What are you using to charge the device? Make sure it shows as "AC" in the Battery-screen since otherwise it will be capped at 0.5Amp instead of 1Amp

You have the same scenario with me
I also had this problem when i first updated my phone to Jelly Bean and found that charging becomes very slow
So i tried SGS II charger like you did and it worked fine
what i did was I changed my USB cable (with 5 pins)
In some forums, you may find that the USB cable with only 4 pins are no standard for SGS III
after reading those forums, i rechecked my old USB cable and found that it has only 4 pins
its not anything with jelly bean change your usb sync cable to something else like of nokia's or a good quality one . I have experienced this issue
I agree. Change your cable and that will solve your problem. I had the same problem as you, changed my cable for a new one and my problem was fixed. No more discharging while charging for me.

With ICS I used stock usb cable with 3 meter usb extension cable and it charged fast (about 3 hours from 1-100%). Same without extension. With Jelly if I use same 3 meter usb extension cable then it charges about 7-8 hours. Without extension it charges about 3 hours. Original ROM's both.
So I think it IS related somehow with JB vs ICS. Otherwise both should act same way with extension and without extension.
Well I used my same usb cable and charger thing where you put the usb cable in and it charged slower. Well I'll try find other usb cable on internet of good quality. But since yesterday phone charges a alot faster. But stil long. really long. On ICS this wasnt the case. But I have to order another usb cable cuase stock one is way to short. Ill report guys!
Disabled NFC and GPS rebooted phone and it charges incredibly fast somehow.

Hi Guys,
I have searched the forums and i found that all the issues are with the phone on. My problem is the phone loses power when plugged into the PC when the phone is off and while plugged into the mains, it charges very very slowly. When it is on, the phone does not charge when plugged into the mains.
Do i need to get a new battery? Or should i go back to stock and see if it still occurs.
I am using cm10.1 nightly btw

oh i forgot to add, i am using siyah and have pushed my usb charge to 900ma, and i used another current widget and it shows that the phone is drawing 899ma. that 1 ma does not really affect anything.
now the problem is when the phone is off, it shows charging but not really charging. i have wrote a program in c to see what current the cpu is outputting to the usb ports and it shows 500ma.
since it is 500ma shouldn't the phone be charging?
my question is will the kernel or rom affect the phone if it is off, if so it means i need to get a new battery.
But my battery can last 19hrs on a full charge, so i dont see how it is damaged.

In that case, do basic troubleshooting first:
Try with different cables. S3 cables have known issues with charging.
Try another port on the PC.
Try another PC/laptop.
Try other chargers.
Using the link I posted, check what is the current_max when you plug the phone to charge in each case. Details are in the first post of the linked thread.
Unplug and re_plug the cable from the phone when it is charging, several times if need be, to check if the charging current varies/increases.
Install stock and check if the issue persists.
Try with another battery (borrow from a friend, if needed).
If ask this fails, take it to the service centre. It might be an issue with the charging port.
Good luck!

ok i am on stock sammy rom now and it still has this problem.
this is what i know so far
my battery % shows 53%but my battery has 3.858 volts.
do i need to get a new battery or anything?
i might have damaged it due to always leaving it plugged in overnight for 1 year, but i thought li-on cells should have a chip to detect when they are full and automatically prevent anymore uptake of current
ok i am using inductive charging to charge my phone now, even though it is only 500ma, it charges faster then the 1A when using a wall charger.
So i guess that the microusb port is the one affecting it.
