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?

Have u cleared the battery cache maybe it's wacked out and giving u faulty readings have u installed a battery app see if that is reading different?

I read that it wasn't a great idea to mess with the battery like that so I haven't tried. Plus like I said without the extension it works fine

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to "bump" threads but I'm still having this problem and was wondering if anyone had any help or suggestions for me?
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
How long is the extension?

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.

My note battery died completely and the phone shutoff like normal. The problem Im having is it wont turn on or power... it will for a brief second show the battery charging symbol (Big one in middle of screen), but then it goes away.
How can I recover from this?

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.
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.

Yeah if someone can track down the cause. And it could be an issue with a binary blob for one of the hardware components that we don't have the source for.

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.

Make sure it is a USB based charger and try my test. The issue may not occur if the car charger is one piece consisting of cable and male charger end.

This. Sure. Samsung didn't fix the issue but the workaround completely takes the issue out of the picture. I tried it and my phone now deep sleeps every time. Relax and enjoy these next few days knowing that our devs are cooking up some progressive kernel pie.

My issue is poor charging on vehicle charger. I can drive three hours and use navigation with the screen off and also stream Pandora with my phone not fully charger. My POS Vivid was fine. Luckily I have a power converter to deal with it. This is my second Note and both do the same thing.

That didn't work. I tried restoring different ROM. The charger in using will charge my brothers LG Android, but mine won't. Funny, it will charge a little but in recovery, but spots and does nothing when it's running. I guess I'm going to have to take it in to best buy for an insurance claim. They told me they would exchange it if something went wrong. I guess I should restore it back to stock then.

Because I get anxious and make bad decisions. Lol
I was using the same charger for a month and today it was working, then all of a sudden it wouldn't charge my phone 1%. But would charge by brothers phone.
I came home and put it on my wall charger and it's working but charging is still slow. In fact, it still isn't fully charged yet. I'll get a different car charger tomorrow and see how things go from there.
Update- phone still hasn't fully charged. Wtf man....

my car charger doesnt charge my phone at all. I even noticed that the wall wart that i used forever in my OG evo doesnt charge this phone at all. It'll sustain the battery, but wont charge it. U may have mentinoed it, but are you using the factory wall wart and cable? If not try that or a tablet wall wart my Tf-201 wall wart works on mine.

Everything seems to be ok now. Like you said, the car charger would just barely hold the charge while I was using it. The car charger was some off brand I night from an Arab had station. In using the stock charger now and it's working ok. But my phone did dragon a while lot last might after it finally charged. Like 10 hours and 4 of then were sleeping. But I ran it down again and erased the battery stats and I'm recharging it up again now..

I got a new nightstand lamp that has an A/C outlet built into it and a slot for my cell phone. Instead of having an extra foot of cord on my nightstand I figured I'd get a very short usb to micro usb cord. Instead of buying one I just assumed re-wire it to shorten it. Everything went ok after the first wiring and the charge was working but after moving it around a bit it stopped charging. My phone then did one hard reset then another and after the second one my phone would not turn on. When I first got the phone it did this when I used an auto-root program on the PC but after I played with sd card it finally booted back. This time I fear the worst. I believe I may have dangerously undervolted it but can't be sure. I'm either bricked or need to do an internal battery pull. Does anyone have any expertise where they could definitively say if I'm bricked or not? My led light isn't turning on at all, not even when plugged into power source.
EDIT : now I fear the worst. If I am s-off and I brick the phone is it a perma-brick. Really in need of someones expertise here.

I bet its bricked. There are a Bunch of similar threads.this phone is picky about the charger being used. I and many others bricked their phone by not using the original charger that came with the phone. I assume its toasting the battery. Sorry for the bad news

I really dont think undervolting it would brick it. I am no expert, I don't think that would do it in. Now on the other hand did you end up giving it 120 volts by plugging it straight into an outlet, I'm not positive but I think the power supplies that come with the phone use a transformer in them
to reduce line voltage. If thats the case you more then likely fried the battery. But like I said, not an expert.

Thanks for all the feedback it's good to feel I'm not alone in this. So to answer everyones questions simultaneously I did try everything in the book without the re-wired cord to get it to boot. I used a good cord in the PC and A/C, I tried lazypanda unbrick and the phone wasn't recognized at all by terminal in ubuntu. I tried holding the power button for 10s, 20s, 30s and 60s and not even a dim led was lit. I tried removing the sd card a couple times wouldnt power on with or without it. I opened the phone and did an internal battery disconnect and reconnect, nothing. On the other hand i bought a new one on ebay but a few of you have said here it was the battery that I fried which makes me wonder if I could buy a new one and possibly get this thing running and turn around and sell it on ebay to recoup the losses. I do firmly believe it must've been a surge because of the cord, but I thought the phone has a protection circuit and would shut down before any serious damage occurs but maybe thats only to the other hardware elements like the cpu and memory.
Allright guys help me out so maybe around a week ago i guess my thunderbolt wouldnt hold a charge i would charge it and a screen would tell me that the phone is using too much power and to turn it off so i did
I come back and its dead dead even tho its been on the charger for a couple hours
i tried another battery and it tries to charge it the amber light stays solid for a couple minutes and then it turns off completely
Ive tried diffrent chargers, batteries, cables ,outlets with no luck any advice ?
Could this be the end for my old Thundy
Try a different cable maybe. If that doesn't work then charge the phone while it is off or in recovery.

Hmmm... Have you tried another charging block? Its possible the base isn't any good. If none of that works then you probably have a broken charge port.
