Hey there,
My phone drained while plugged in and I noticed after I unplugged it the charge began to climb. Ideas? Anyone else?

Dont want to be the pessimist but my brothers phone did this. He sent it off to samsung and they sent him a bill for £150. Apparently it was water damage. There are other threads on here though have been diagnosed as faulty USB connection on the main board.

Well it hasn't touched water.. seems the charge count has stopped going up.

Neither had my brothers, apparently its sensitive that the slightest condensation can cause the indicators to turn. Thats what they told my brother.

Just an Android bug.
When charging, the phone thinks it's draining, so it says; it's losing power.
When decharging, it thinks it's charging... Phone Samsung, send some photos (with the phone) and make sure the water-sticker has all it's crosses VISIBLE!
If you don't want to risk a bill yet, then try flashing a different ROM... (First, backup, incase it doesn't work, flash stock ROM via Odin, if that doesn't work, try a different custom ROM, if that doesn't work, you phone's f**ked...)
I will try this tonight when I am home. Thank you for the input. I will post results

Phone will not charge now..
OK... didn't have a chance to flash a different ROM. if anyone has any suggestions on which rom to go with I would appreciate it.
Today it seems that the battery will not charge. It sees that it is plugged in but it does not take charge. The saga continues! I am thinking about getting another battery just to test this out.
You must rule out bad roms by flashing a stock rom .

Another observation: while off battert reads about 40 percent and when i turned it on it says 14 percent

Mine did that like a week after buying the phone. They switched the usb plug in warranty repair.
Has been working fine for ~6months now

Common bug.
What seems to happen with mine is that the battery miscalculated the amount it's drained by when you use it for a while - For example, using google maps as a car GPS. After you get to the destination, and turn off the GPS and Data, the battery APPEARS to regain charge - it's not really, it's just recalculating the amount it was drained by.
A battery refresh will sort it, it's also very common if you reboot/crash at under 50% power. It reboots at around 10% and ticks back up to the 'correct' value after an hour or so.
It gets worse after a few weeks of use, and a battery refresh (full charge, shut down, remove battery for 2 minutes, replace battery, fully charge, switch on), sets everything back to default again and it behaves itself for a while.
Not had it happen for a couple months now, but I've not been dinking around with flashing stuff of late so it's not been crashing horribly (which was the main CAUSE of this bug), in the first place.
Here is some news... tried a different USB cable and guess what? No more charge issues or over voltages.

Don't buy a new battery!
Before paying for anything;
while the phone is running, pull the battery...
2. (Leave the battery out) Plug your phone in, if it recognizes the charger, leave it to clear the RAM properly, plug the battery back in, boot into CWM and wipe battery stats! Once done, take from charger, unplug battery, plug it back in, then leave the phone powered down, and plug charger in. Leave it for an hour or two, then boot into Android. Now it should work fine
It's a problem with your usb charging port. It will progresssively get worse and ICS will keep telling you that its paused charging due to overvoltage. The only way to truly fix it is to have the charging port plus circuit board replaced. Happened to me a week back and I tried virtually everything- stock roms, removed root, replaced batteries etc. None of that worked. Some posts said it was a port problem. Went to a tech guy I knew and he confirmed the issue when he disconnected the port. It was relatively cheap for me to fix but some people have climed that samsung charges a large amount to fix it. You're better off trying to get it fixed on your own. If you're on warranty, try and claim it

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

The weird thing is my phone will show it's charged to 100% but if I unplug it and plug it back in the charging animation will start again and it will "recharge" again

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
I'm going to test my old battery in this ROM just to make sure before I downgrade.
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.

Daw it's a fellow Samsung battery.
Thank you about the cable, I need to purchase another one anyways, mine at home seems to not be connecting very well. :/
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
Hi all, I have a very serious problem here. Please help me out.
Whenever I am using my phone for more than around 10-15 mins continuously, even though battery is around 80-85%, I lose network all of a sudden, the phone flickers or flashes or blinks for a moment and shuts down all of a sudden. When I try to boot it again, it says battery low and many times, it wont boot only. When it is about to be botted only it gets turned off. the solution is to connect to charger when it shuts down. At first, on connecting, it shows zero battery, and immediately battery level will be restored to the previous level, after blinking again in the charging screen and then only I can turn it on. What is the issue?
I also tried wiping data/factory reset.. Wipe cache and dalvik wipes repeatedly. Tried many roms like resurrection 2.6, 3.01, XWLPM stock rom, Salman ROM, etc. The same issue happens in all the roms as well.
Somebody do reply!

Same thing for Stock
I experienced the same thing on Stock samsung unrooted rom 4.0.3
I suddenly found that my phone is not responding and is heated up too much, I quickly removed the battery and after letting it to cool off restarted it.
Was amazed to see battery came down to 20% from 80%, Post this incident it is working fine
Now I have tried multiple kernels and Roms and it still is working awesomely on everything I throw at it

Turns out its some battery problem. I swapped mine with a friend's battery. He is facing the same issues now and I am not facing any issue. In ebay and flipkart, it shows original battery costs just 559 Rs(around 10$). Is the original battery available for such a cheap price? Or is it not genuine?
It sounds suspiciously cheap.. mmmmm. You should try going for the legit 2000mAh from samsung longer battery life haha so much win

Hi yashwanthms,
Just to let you know, currently I'm facing exactly the same issue.
During or after using camera, gps or usage of data, the screen flickers and then after a few seconds it freezes and shuts down. Switching it on doesn't work, because it thinks the battery is dead while still having 50% left or something like that. It does however work when it is plugged into power.
Thanks for your reply of your battery replacement. I will try the same thing and see if it works out.
Still a question though: did you buy a new battery and what were your results afterwards?
Kind Regards,
Ahsimmis
same issue here
After reading above posts, I'm sure it is a battery issue. I use hotspot and GPS a lot which is why I've to charge a lot and charge while docked to car cigarette lighter too, no wonder the battery didn't last more than a year. Will buy a new battery tomorrow and post the result here.

Like others said, I think it's battery problem. Do not use cheap unreliable batteries, nor leave your phone charging after 100% charged for a long time. This would affect your battery performance. Experienced that using my back-up battery, from 25%, sudden shutdown. My original battery would alert me first "Battery is now low, please recharge now". The back-up won't.
This is to confirm that I've purchased a new battery from Samsung franchise store. It is doing fine.
Cost me Rs.800 which is like $18. The store didn't have any retail battery in stock but they provided me one from one of the phones on display. I'm not sure if I did the right thing by taking it but I needed one badly and none of the stores I went to had any in stock for retail (there are like 15 of them in a 2km radius)
This is happening to both mine and my wife's Galaxy S II's. Screen flickers, shuts down, comes back with zero battery, plug it in to charge for a few minutes, suddenly back to ~80%. I've also found the phone is hot when this happens, pulled the battery and its NOT the battery that is hot, the phone itself is (feels hottest right below the camera, just above the battery port).
I ordered a replacement battery for her and it cleared the issue for about 2 weeks but now its happening again. The replacement was a genuine Samsung OEM, same maH, same part number.
My phone is rooted with a custom ICS kernel, her's is factory ICS.
I've ordered a new battery for my phone too to try, but I'm not convinced its solely a battery issue.

Hi,
I am very new to the Android world. Got a SGH-i777 from AT&T in US in February 2012 and had to move back to India in June. I got the unlock code from AT&T and used the device for 2 months without issues here on the local network.
Yesterday, the phone showed me a critically low battery message all of a sudden (I had fully charged it the night before) and turned off. When connected to the charger, I get the image of the battery with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it.
Thinking it may be a battery issue, I took it to a local Samsung repair center and he tried using a working battery in it, but still got the same image. He suggested that it may be a motherboard isssue.
Please help !!! I am still in the AT&T contract.
It happened also with my I9100 but i just continue to charge the phone and it disappeared.. try it

Just a thought. There are a lot of non-nfc batteries around. Are you sure the person at the repair center used the proper battery. The I777 must have an nfc battery. Worth checking out. May still just be the battery failing.
I guess you continue charging it. Are you on a stock rom?

Hmmm, I am not sure which battery he used. Will try a long continuous charge first and if it doesn't work will take it back to the repair center and check if he has an NFC battery. I hope it is just a battery problem and nothing more serious. Thanks for your reply.
An update: I charged the battery for the entire night and got a 100% charged indication in the morning. But when I disconnected the charger and tried to turn on the phone, I have the same issue. I still get the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark.
But this time around, I was able to enter the recovery mode by pressing the Volup+VolDwn+power key and I rebooted the phone from the recovery screen and it worked fine. I am able to run the downloaded apps, make calls etc.
Now, I notice 2 new things:
1) Every time I turn the phone off or when it turns off automatically (which it does very frequently since today), it doesnt restart normally. I have to enter the recovery mode to reboot the phone and make it operational
2) When the phone is turned on and when I charge it, no matter how long I charge, the charge percentage shows 78% always.I guess the only time I get a full 100% charge indication is when the phone is turned off and then charged.
All this is leading me to believe that there might be a problem in the battery. If the phone operates properly from the recovery mode, I guess there is no issue with the mother board. Any ideas?? Please suggest.
I can make some observations. Please bear in mind that anything I say is speculation, basically guess work.
From your description, it sounds like a problem with the battery charging circuitry. It doesn't sound like just the battery itself, but that is the easiest thing to test, by getting a new or at least different battery and trying it.
As far as the battery circuitry, it could be either a hardware failure problem, or a firmware problem. Are you still running stock firmware or have you customized the phone? And which firmware version does it have? If I had the phone, I would reflash the stock firmware to see if the charging issue clears up. If that didn't fix the issue, then I would suspect some form of hardware failure.

Is that something common? I have had an extended battery for about a week with no issues. As far as I know, it does not have intergrated NFC antenna (or chip...seems a subject of debate whether or not stock batter contains just the antenna or chip too). Anyway, I bought the batterny knowing the feature wasn't there. Unless by some fluke a tthe time of order I happened to get an updated version of the battery, but I seriously doubt it as there is not any indication on the battery itself that it does, aside from having 4 prongs. Which leads me to believe with the right materials I can create my own antenna and slap it on there....assuming people are wring with the whole chip thing. Just thought I'd mention since I don't have NFC and don't have that problem...and now curious as to why you suspect it for affect battery charge and the sort.
As of last night, whenever I try to connect my phone to either my outlet charger, my xbox, my computer...anything, it never even charges. The icon on the screen still says, "Connect your charger" even if it's connected. The sound doesn't even come on, and the battery icon doesn't move when it's connected (obviously, because it's not charging lol). But the only way I can use my phone is by charging my battery first. (Luckily I had a spare battery that I had already charged) and now I'm looking to buy a battery charger so I can switch battery's whenever I want. It'll be a pain in the a**, so there must be a way to fix it. Sometimes when I disconnect my charger, the icon pops up saying, "USB Connected". I've tried 4 different chargers also, and still no luck. I still haven't bought my warranty so I don't know if I can still do that and exchange it.
Any suggestions? I already tried different battery's, removing the battery for a couple of minutes, charging the phone while it's off (it seems to work but the battery icon goes from 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and to full, then back to empty, and it does it again, but it freezes and it takes awhile and then finally it does it again, but it doesn't really charge.)
My phone IS rooted, and I have ShoStock3 with Clockwork Mod. I'm thinking of reverting back to my Clockwork Backup from March but I don't think that'll work. I don't want to loose anything from my Internal Storage that I may have stored.
Please help

Is there any way I could fix it? And is there anyway I could clean it if it's dirty?
By the way, what's that charging port USB Dock Connector for? I've never seen them before so I dont know what they're for or how to use it.
Edit: Nevermind, I did my research and found out what it's for lol. I don't think I'll want to go that route, I hate taking apart computer's or phones because I'm not good at following instructions and I sometimes loose the parts lol.
This has happened to me three times. It's the charging module. You have to get it repaired I'm sad to say.
