[Q] Charging the note - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I like to charge my phone at night with my phone off. I bought the phone a little over a month ago, and I still haven't been able to achieve 100% charging it with the phone off. I charge it with the phone on, and it charges to 100%. Is anyone having the same issue? I considering taking it back, but I want to know if its a common occurrence. BTW I'm running UCLD3 deodexed with the stock kernel. If so let me know how you fixed the issue. Thanks in advance

Oh well, I guess I'm the only one having this issue.

I never charge my phone being off. Why dont you just leave it on to charge? Im also on ucld3 and i get to 100% everytime.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke

yes from phone off, I would charge to 100% or full or whatever it reads, then turn it on and it would be on 99%...
So I started charging while off to "full" then powering on while still plugged in, and leave it to finish charging to 100 while on...
Been like that since as far back as i can remember...
Just because the off screen says full, doesnt mean its actually fully.
It would take an additional 1-3 mins for the OS to say "unplug charger"

battery problem

so every once in a while, i'd say every 4 or 5 days... i'll take my phone off the charger and start my day like normal. but on these days, (sometimes i notice and do a hard reset before all this happens) the upper half of the phone will get really warm and even if i do absolutely nothing on my phone, my battery will drain from full to dead in 3-4 hours.
has anyone else noticed this? i'm thinking it may be some sort of cpu cycle leak or some sort of infinite loop some background driver might get itself into.
its pretty annoying if i dont catch it right away and an hour after i unplug my phone while i'm at work to take my phone out of my pocket and have it over half battery gone already.

I have noticed the 'staying warm after charging sometimes' phenomenon....I also sometimes leave it charging all night but it doesn't seem to charge, even though the light is on. I think this is somehow connected to the wonky power button behavior...I get a green light on full charge sometime....i've never seen it turned green while powered off.....sometimes it won't turn on while plugged in, sometimes I need to do a battery pull, sometimes the SD card too, sometimes I need to press the power button a million times or hold it extra extra long....sometimes the charging light doesn't come on and it does charge, sometimes the light comes on and it doesn't...sometimes it gets really hot after charging and doesn't cool down after sitting idle....I usually just shut it off for a minute and turn it back on...somehow.
This is definitely one of my pet peeves with this phone...I also think this is linked to some phones never turning back on again, corrupted bootloader/recovery after a 'fastboot' shut-down or hot restart...
I'm diggin' the phone, don't get me wrong, but....I can't wait for the nPrime...
yeah, but it's less so the problem of it getting warm (pre or post charging) and moreso that it will start heating up a lot and you can tell that something is running the battery down in the background, the only way to stop this is to do a battery pull restart.
has anyone had similar issues with their phone going from full battery to dead in a few hours because of a hidden bugged process or something similar?

I had that happen after tuning airplane mode off then back on. But that's itt

This happened to me this morning, first time and it was very weird. I've left it charging overnight per usual and this morning when I woke up and unplugged it, it had only 10% battery left. I tried charging it in my car on my way to work and have it plugged in to my computer USB now. I disabled a bunch of stuff as shown on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141221
And it's now starting to charge.
I did however just update to showdown rom and had setcpu on 1.7 conservative. It still should have charged but I'm guessing a stuck process/bug drew all the power last night.

Major battery woes...

So I am on my second battery right now. The first one just decided it shouldnt turn on. I could plug the charger in and the notification light wouldnt turn on, pull the battery and it would. Well, now my second battery is doing the samething. I had left it on the charger while I was outside doing stuff, came in in the afternoon, dead phone. Pulled and replaced battery a few times, phone still wouldnt turn on. Then I plugged in the charger and no notification light would come on. So I finally pulled the battery and with the battery out I plugged in the charger and then the notification light would come on. What the hell is going on here?
Anyone else have these problems? Now I have to drive 30+ miles one way to my nearest Verizon store to replace this damn thing and I am not happy about this one bit. Anyone on here have any suggestions for me?

If you bought it from Verizon and not second hand, then you have 1 year warranty. I suggest you call Verizon's customer service and speak with them and get a replacement sent. I've done this multiple times with just about every phone I've had. 1800-922-0804 is what I dial. to get to them, press 0, then press 0 again, and it will ask for your account password, then a rep will get on the phone.
best of luck.
If the phone is older than 30 days, or maybe it's 14 now with Verizon, they give you a refurbished phone, if you are over that period and went to the store I'm pretty positives all they would do is order you the replacement refurb phone. 30+ miles each way is a hike, save the gas money

Just had my Rezound battery die last night. It was freezing outside and my battery was at 1%. The screen just went blank. When I got home, plugged in the charger. The notification led came on for 3 seconds then went back off again. Tried several chargers I had and pulling the battery and plugging it in.
Weird.
Verizon has the 14 day return/exchange policy now. I was at 12 days so I just went in and they replaced the battery with a brand new one from a Rezound box. I assume they will send that unit back RMA. My phone works now.
You're not the only person having battery death issues. Not sure why this is a problem on the Rezound. I recently purchased an extended battery ironically. It will be arriving tomorrow.
Here's to hoping that it won't die. I should buy some spares just in case. Make sure you call customer service and report the issue. It is tracked.
I was also having an issue charging from a dead battery (would charge just fine otherwise). The charging indicator would not stay lit, but after giving it 10 minutes or so, repeated attempts to power on would eventually work and then it would charge normally.
Had this happen several times and then reflashed the stock image. Seems to be working as it should now. However, when I got my phone it had a dead battery it wouldn't charge. So we'll see what happens.
Note: was running Senseless 1.0 and de-bloated. Stock rom kernel. If it matters....I probably didn't get a clean install when doing it all.
Rezound has a known issue that if the battery dies to far you'll need something else to charge the battery. Some people have used their old thunderbolts to give it a pre charge, buy the stand alone charger from Verizon. Or just don't let your phone discharge tthat far.

Good to know - is that all or most Rezounds? Because I wonder if I should swap mine while I still can.
Like I said, I was having that issue and after flashing the stock RUU (updated one, .6) my phone is charging a dead battery just fine (2 for 2 so far, fingers crossed).
Actually brand new in the store mine had a dead battery and it would not charge, so they gave me a new battery. Perhaps there was a fix in that updated RUU. It's just a suggestion - after I confirm this works consistently I'll see what happens with some other roms.
Alternatively, it's also possible the stock RUU doesn't let you drain the battery as far as the roms do. I was able to power back on several times until it finally wouldn't (and no led flashing at that point), but now it charges from there.
Yea, I woke up one morning and my phone was deader than a door nail. Popped on the charger and no notification light, called Verizon to whine and prepared to stop by the store to get a replacment battery. However just for kicks I plug the phone back on the charger (ok my laptop) and after 1/2 hour the notification light popped back on and the battery started to charge. Now Prior I was having a high rate of discharged getting about 2 hours of use and 5 on standby (airplane on, WiFi and Data off) and still having the high rate of discharge. I started to investigate why the phone was getting hot and discharging so fast. Now I couldn't fine the culprit (I think WIFI was the cause) but I just did a factory reset, reloaded my rom and kernal and poof, everything return to normal including much longer discharge rates and I'm much happier now (Adult Beverages and household chemicals indigestation).
If you go to HTC's website it actually has a faq on this. Their response goes pretty much like this. If you drain your battery till the phone shuts off, plug your phone in. It will flash the notification light then there will be no charging light. The light could take 20 minutes or more to turn on. I also had this problem like you guys but just put it on charge over night and it will be fine. Just don't kill it to 0 anymore.
Found the Quote: My phone won’t power on. What can I do? close
If your phone will not power on, your battery may be drained or not seated correctly.
Tips:
If the battery is completely dead, the phone will need to charge for a few minutes and then should power on once this happens. When plugging the phone into the charging, the notification light may not light up immediately as the battery is completely dead. Let it charge for about 20 minutes before trying to power on.
Make sure you are using the AC charger that was supplied with your phone

battery discharges while plugged in and using it
ok, so this happened with the stock rom, and two other roms i had.
What would happen is if you plug the phone in, and use it, you would expect it to charge while you are using it. It did on my dinc. it actually discharges while you use it and it is plugged into the supplied charger.
This is not a good thing. I am wondering if anyone else is having a similar experience.
One interesting side note.
I installed rezrom recently, and after the initial install i didn't experience this problem and got a 24 hour charge out of the battery. Now on my second charge only lasted 7 hours, and i get that drain while plugged in again.
Are you using the stock charger or a different one? You might not be charging at 1amp.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I am using the stock charger. I have two actually, one from my dinc, which also supply 1 amp of power
That's really crappy and definitely an issue they need to address. My Rezound sucks on the battery like a wine-o on a Friday night, but it's never gotten to the point of blacking out.
I am just interested to know if anyone else is experiencing this issue of it being plugged in and not charging when u surf the net, but actually discharges.
The whole issue of it not powering up for 15 minutes after it dies is a bunch of crap too. my dinc does not do this, and god forbid that my phone dies in an emergency situation and i need to get a hold of someone fast!
oh i forgot to add that i called VZW and complained about this, and they going to send a new battery. Something tells me this won't resolve this issue though
I have the official HTC 2750 battery and Its been good except 2 mornings I woke up to an unresponsive phone with no charge notification after plugging it in.. Pulling the battery and reinstalling let me start the phone up. I have had this phone/battery combo for 2 weeks.. should I try to get a replacement battery or is this normal. There have been two different answers here and I want to do the right thing here...

So you are saying the phone died, then refused to charge on the extended battery?

Yes, exactly. Not sure if it was entirely discharged. I'll leave it off the charger tonight and see if it does it again by morning. I'll let you know battery % once I get it booted.

From the beginning, phone was on charger, charging then came back later (phone still on charger) no led, nothing, phone wouldnt turn on.

Bad Batter?

Has anyone ever ran the battery so low it wont even charge? my battery was dying on me so i plugged it in the charger at 5% life left. i forgot i had my settings at "never sleep while charging" so the screen was on the whole time. last i saw, it was at 1% and then it shut off. its been plugged in for about 20 minutes and i still cant power it on, it does nothing. funny thing is i can get it into DL mode but not recovery or anything. i put my wifes battery in and it powers up though. so what gives?
Have you tried your charger in your wife's phone to make sure that the charger hasn't stopped working?
However, I would imagine there is the chance that your battery is dead.
yea i just did that. turns out my phone's port is bad again! for the 4th time
It might be easier and cheaper to just get a second battery and an external charger if it keeps going out on you. They're fairly cheap on ebay.
A healthy battery should not allow you to get to the state it won't charge. Even if you run your phone down to 0%, it would just turn itself off and let you charge it. I think you battery is defective.

My galaxy note i717 stuck in boot loop

So the other day i left my galaxy note charging in my truck on a hot day, i left it in there for about 20-30 mins and when i grabbed it, it was burning up. i let it cool down then turned it on, worked for a little bit then shut of. i tried turning it on again and did the same thing. Now it just turns on shows the two samsung logos and restarts itself, but when it is on the charger it will load up completely for a second then it turns off and goes to the charging screen, I have done master resets restored it, everything i could think of. i was running the 4.1.2 jelly bean update via kies and it was rooted. Im not sure what the prblem is but i believe it is just the battery... Please help

would you leave your child in a hot car for 20-30 minutes and expect it to ok? there should be law against doing that with your phone.
is the battery charging? or did it charge while you left it suffering in the heat of your truck?
maybe your fried your cable?
power button isn't stuck is it?
If you beleive its just the battery, buy a new one from ebay for about $8.00

Haha i understand that, its not the charging cable, i can charge it fully and try and turn it on but it does the same thing, i didnt fry the cable, i just let it charge while cooking in the sun. Im ordering a battery and hoping that its just a fried battery.
Did the new battery fix it? Driving along today mine just shut down and is doing the exact same thing. Boot loops, but with charger plugged in it boots to the charging screen. Sometimes it loads for half a second. Curious if the battery worked before I go hunting one down locally tomorrow.

[Q] Wireless charging battery notifications

I have Tylt wireless charger and AT&T Samsung Edge,
my problem is that when my phone reaches full charge in the middle of the night it emits audio notification on full charge and turns on screen, then it turns screen off, in a few minutes, when phone reaches 99% it pops wireless charging audio notification and turns screen back on, in a min screen turns off only to come back on when it is fully charged, all of that repeats until I am awake and take it off the charger, and if it is in the middle of the night, by the morning it is not a full charge again, any way to turn all of that nonsense off?
I Have the exact same issue. Would love a solution to it.
No such issues here with the official Samsung charger.
Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk
With the official Samsung charger (and another charger that I have), what I find is that it will charge fully by, say midnight or 1, and then just stop charging. By morning it has been not charging for 4-6 hours, and is no longer fully charged for the start of my day. Going to start plugging it into the charger at night instead, as this results in a full charge in the morning.
Uggghhhh
Glad to hear another useless "feature" of this phone! Now I can't use the wireless charging. Boy, they sell us on the 9th and 10th wonders of the world...Fast Charging (which fries the phone) and Wireless Charging (which keeps you up all night, or doesn't give you a full charge otherwise). Let's see now...that makes about 2053 problems so far with this thing....:silly:
mine charges until reaches 100% and stay green so it still passes energy and stays there until morning with 100% and dont turn on the screen to let me know its fully charged.i dont know make yours do that.

most of my TW roms that did wireless seemed to do this. I know there is a .Ogg file that you can delete to stop the beeping. BUT needs to be rooted.
I am going to hold off on rooting for a while as my 925i lets me deblote most of the stuff without. I just want to root without setting off KNOX. I'll give it a few more weeks.
you do know that even its not out yet,when you root youre phone you loose samsung Pay. i know its not out yet but will be a feature that i will be using.
