Battery say charging no charger connected - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys i flashed D4 v9 yesterday coming from previous d4 roms always clean install but i formatted everything before flashing v9 so i had a clean garbage free phone. I noticed that it says charging but no charger was plugged in. Every few minutes i also get charging paused voltage too high. So me thinking i must have deleted something important reflashed v9 same problem.
This morning i thought i would flash neak kernel see if that would do the trick same problem so what exactly have i deleted and can i rectify it. Iv had a look around the forums but cant see anything to my specific problem.

phone shows charging even though its not plugged in into anything

I had installed checkrom v4 with siyah kernel 2.67 on my phone and friends phone, both are runing exactly the same rom and kernel , but now his phone has a problem where wben he power it off than on he gets a battery charging screen , even though nothing is plugged in. His phone won't boot until he plugs a charger in . Not sure why it does this since it was working fine last week, and this just started yesterday. Anyone know what could cause this ?

Strange, try clear cache and advanced/dalvik followed immediately by flash the latest
Siyah kernel 2.6.11

There are threads on this already. It's usually a hardware problem - the charging port. Some people have fixed it by cleaning the charging port with some chemical cleaner.
I had the same sort of problem when I had the S1. It fixes itself when I left it plugged in a charger for over a week. I think it was caused by a rain drop getting in the charging port.
Probably just Google the problem to find the other threads etc on xda and elsewhere.

The issue seems to be fixed for now... What I did is full wipe data/cache/dalvik 3 times followed by re install of the Rom/kernel and now on the third wipe/re install that problem doesn't happen anymore , which is very odd. I seriously thought it was something to do with the charging port but now since its fixed I don't know what to think anymore. Thanx for the input guys.

Galaxy S2 Mistery Charging Problem

Ok. Had GS2 5 months, been no bother , had several different roms and last rom was Criseklo v38. Plugged phone into charger and nothing happened
Tried several chargers nothing. Waited about 40 secs with charger in and suddenly the phone tells me its charging... odd but ok. left phone to charge well left it half an hour unplugged charger it read 92% but upon unplugging charger the phone read it was still charging After about half a minute it no longer read it was charging. Ok . Leave phone to charge to full when it tells me, i unplug charger it reads 100% and stays at 100% and flicks between its charging and its not and percentage doesnt drop from 100% until i reboot and it drops to about 96% or so. Battery now loses about 50% overnight and i cannot gauge what state my battery really is at. Wiped phone, formatted new rom, same issue. different rom same issue. I assume from this its not software problem. Is it i need a new battery or does it sound like phones gone **** up. BTW i plug usb to pc and it instantly loads up my sd cards as normal so the usb port seems unaffected. Im not sure what to do
Check what kernel was installed with your last ROM.Sometimes kernels that are use for OC/UV can cause wierd things like this.You may have a corrupt one and if so may need to flash it again.Flash a CF-Root kernel and see what happens.If that doesnt change the problem then we will have to look somewhere else,but its a start.
I acquired a new ext battery but phone still has same issue. I've cleaned kernels in cwm and flashed others but the problem still persists.
I don't know what else to try.

Had the exact same issue on my SGS2. This is not a software or battery problem. I took it to my local samsung service center and they replaced the port where we connect the charger and it started working fine after that.
Mine was under warranty and i was not charged for anything. So everything's back to normal.

Did you return your sgs2 to default or was it rooted when when you returned it to a Samsung service center. I think its what ill have to do is return it under warentee.

Wow sounds like the exact same problem I had just a few days ago. I think my problem was down to moisture caused by using my phone while out in the snow. I bought a new board on ebay for £7 and that fixed the problem but obviously involved removing the casing and a few screws and plugs to fit.
Well i rooted the phone and was running a deodexed rom with siyah kernel. but before taking it to the service center, i flashed a stock rom and kernel and did the binary counter reset with a jig.
Even then they found out that the phone was rooted before, though i pretended i dint do anything and they couldn't justify it. So i guess the warranty was still valid.

[Q] Galaxy S3 charging problems after installing official Jelly Bean

hello all
i have a very peculiar problem with my s3. I have been using official unbranded poland rom (I9300XXBLH1), flashed it over the rom that came stock on it, since i got the device without any problems. when 4.1.1 offical came out and it was for poland i went on sammobile, grabed the rom, flashed and at first all seemed fine until i tried to charge the phone.
first the phone didn't charge at all then it charged some but i noticed that red led does not shine as birght when the phone doesnt charge, it goes dim. the cable and charger are fine, tested with other combos and on other phones all works fine. the phone also charges fine when its turned off.
now the peculiar part... once i rooted, wiped everything from recovery and reverted back to poland 4.0.4 all charging issues disappear. wiping everything again then installing 4.1.1 reintroduces the charging problem, this was my first thought - bad flash, but it wasn't.
why does my s3 respond this way to jelly bean, have others had similar problems? any info apriciated
I got the same problem
I got this same problem in my S3. Now my S3 have a crazy behaves related charging and its begin to happen about the second day that I did update. And I did the official update that popped up in my screen.
So any one could help us to figure out what going on?
Thanks in advance!

in the meantime i tried super wipe script and numerous custom roms based on 4.1.1 and they all have the same charging issue. not that its surprising just thought its worth mentioning. i am really confused by this.

guys try few things
1. use only genuine usb cable / charger
2. use genuine usb cable + iphone wall charger - it may sound crazy but for me it made the difference.
3. use other cable
i was facing similar problem, it went off by charging with charger that i had at home from SGS1. i a mable to charge it again.
they are few topics around about bad quality USB pin on phone, or even battery, or low charger quality.
if nothing would work you have to contact the shop/carrier and claim repair/refund/exchange
and i think its not software issue... check

I have exactly the same problem with omega v27 jelly bean
I have installed lots it ICS roms but this never happened....i am sure its some software problem cuz everyone seems to get this after the jelly bean update.
And charing from 0% to 100 % took me around 8 hours
Anyone else facing this problem?

well, i have already stated in original post that i have tried different cable/charger combo and that every single cable and charger i tried works just fine on other phones i have around the house. heck, all of them work fine on s3 too when on ics but not if jelly bean is installed. so it aint the chargers, its the software in the phone.
also those threads were started some months ago, the issue here is different, charging problems did not come "out of the blue", they come and go with jelly bean installation, that's the weirdest part.
I think this is connected with Fast Dormancy.
First time when I flashed Omega 27 (Jelly Bean) I got same problem.
Than I turn off Fast Dormancy and this problem turned off too

this is what fast dormancy is and how to disable it, i have no idea how a network feature would be connected to a charging problem... i would understand if it was battery drain problem...
im going to flash 4.1.1 again, discharge the battery then charge it while the phone is off... see if that helps

I'm also having this problem. As an added twist, my phone is plugged into a Viewsonic GTablet at night. It worked fine under ICS, under JB it only charges around 70-75%. Better Battery Stats says "usb cb wake lock" and "usb device wake lock" were both active the entire time with 69.5% while the phone was charging. "secril_fd-interface" (FD) had 1.6%, so I don't think that is my issue. I will try again tonight with a normal charger and see if it makes a difference. I have the red charging light and other notifications disabled at night, my wife and I both have GSIII's and it looked like a disco the first night before we turned those off
Just thought I would throw that out there.
Temp solution for charging problem...
Hi all,
I too face the same problem. But it is not the fault with Cable or charger but with JB ROM Only. Someone in this post said that charging took 8 long hours from 0-100%. This is because your phone thinks that it is charging from a USB power source rather than AC power source. This can be verified from the battery screen in settings menu. This is a problem with JB kernel which needs to be addressed.
But as a workaround, just unplug the charger from the phone and again plug it back.T S3 will consider that it is charging now from a powersource (will be shown as AC in the Battery screen under setting menu). If it doesnt come the first time, try repeating for a couple more times (try unplugging from the charger end rather from the phone end)... this will resolve temporarily this charging issue, till the kernel permanent fix comes out....
Just came to share my agony..my cell has been on wall charger since 24 hrs and is still just 80%.
So as u guys said,I am staying optimist and waitin for some sort of kernel fix.
Any updates on this issue?
BTW I'm on Wanam 3.7 with siyah 1.6RC3
Need help to get my phone functional again
Today I plugged my s3 into HP envy17's USB(one that specifically says charging port)
Now it my cell is charging at rate of around ~14%/hr which previously charged at rate of around ~5%/hr only
Thought I should share,it's definitely something wrong with how JB manages the charging,possibly defective drivers...any fix any 1
Same here guys, samsung deseption u.u
ok i'm back with doing some experiments...
charging the battery to full while the phone is off then discharging it completely (doing a cycle, so to say) didn't really give any results, i even did this twice, purging batterystats from cwm also did nothing...
i just wanna clarify something... do all of you also experience the dimmed red charging light when screen is off? we should prob notify samsung through official bug report service or something...
get into recovery mode by CWM >advanced > reset battery stat > reboot
i think it ll work

[q] battery problem after flashing new rom on sg2

Hi guys ,l need help here .l recently flashed NEATROM LITE on my SG2 all went well but later that evening my phone started shutting off and saying charger connected when its not ;l managed to boot to recovery and restore back to my previous ROM which was JB 4.1.2 stock by Sam and Phillz kernel. but now wat l have is massive battery drain and when charger connected there is a delay in it being read .battery manager has inacurate readings too .instead of discharging when of charge it says not charging . what could have gone tits up now ?
Check your battery pins or charger port. Sounds like you have damaged something.
Also try a different battery to rule that out.
I have had a look at the pins but nothing seems evident

there is some wierd charging issues with some of these devices. most of the time my device will charge in 2.5-3hrs. occasionally it will not charge right. one thing i noticed is if the device is plugged into the charger and the red light does not come on, it will not charge correctly. sometimes it seems a email notification will cause the red light to diasapear and it quits charging normally as well. Now if I unplug and the device turn screen off and plug back in it will charge normally. What I cant decide if its a faulty wall charger or a hardware issue?? Whatever it is definately is intermittent!!
I have heard faulty cables causing this, (aftermarket) giving problems with charging and odin................... periods to share......lmao
