I plugged in my phone last night and made sure it was charging, so i wake up this morning and i unplug it and it was at 20%?!? So i plugged it in rougly an hour ago and it only went up 20%, could it be that i left the desk clock thing on all night it just used more than it could keep up with and my battery is just super dead? I have also used different chargers and nothing worked.
It never goes past twenty? If that's the case, i'm thinking it may be a battery issue. If you call Samsung and tell them the problem, you should be able to get another one for free.

Are you using the Samsung Charger that came with the phone?
If yes do what he said ^ and call [email protected] and tell them. They will most likely send u a new battery.

Try a differrnt micro usb setting or clear battery data in cwm
"Since God created man, and man created the Galaxy Note, the Galaxy Note are like a gift from God, Randal!"
Verify how much current the phone is drawing (CurrentWidget from app store or a shell script). Even with the factory charger I have seend where the phone will draw less than 400mA (which is less than from a USB port on a computer) due to the cable being used - I threw out that cable. The "Battery Info" showed AC but the phone was only drawing 389mA.
Mine does 1% every 2 minutes with stock charger.

its drawing 6130, but the phone is back to charging normally now, idk what it was but it was strange needless to say...
Had the same problem
I had the same problem of super slow charging a few days ago.
Fixed it by rebooting into recovery --> advanced --> wipe battery stats --> then reboot. Phone then charged as normal.
In case anyone has this trouble down the road...
For CurrentWidget you'll need to set the operation type to divide (/) and the operation value to 10. That will show you the correct charging current.

Try charging phone while it turned off. If it is the same it might be battery problem. And use stock wall charger with stock usb cable. Note draws 1A so generic microusb charger takes twice more time I guess.

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.

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

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 .

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
Don't let your phone uncharged if you got 5% that's a warning sing you need to plug the charged the soon as possible i have so much problem with new photon because now. hopefully it save somebody time.
I have a rooted Photon that I let totally die one day by accident.
No problem - plugged in charger for awhile and it booted fine.

Has to be more to the story because many times mine has been drained to the point it shuts off and it's fine.
My first thought is something to do with if you've used the bootstrap recovery. That hijacks part of the boot process and wont allow the phone to be turned off and charge from a wall outlet but a USB outlet will work fine.
That's my 2 pennies ...

i have had my mopho die quite a few times...alsmost every few days with no probs. not sure what happened with yours, but it is deff not and should not be an issue.
Yeah, I can't even count how many times I've used my phone till it turns off, and on a few occasions after having it turn off on its own I've turned it on again still without plugging in to try and kill it just a little more, for calibration ideas I had run across and was trying. Still wall charged and powered up without issue though.
Maybe you have a bad battery?

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.
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.

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.

I had a low battery and had been using my phone at work. I thought I had about 10% left, but looked at my phone and it was off. No, problem I have a usb cord and plug into my work computer to charge it, but no luck. The charging display doesn't come on at all. So, I tried using the same cord with the ad adapter, but same thing. When I first tried it it looked like it was trying to load up, but froze up on the first screen that comes on. So, I pulled the battery, but I am getting absolutely nothing so far. It has been on the charger for about 30 minutes now. What gives? I think I am within my 14 day period at Best buy, maybe it's a battery or phone issue. Of all the days and times it had to be today when I have plans after work, but looks like I have a date with Best Buy instead now. any ideas?
Well that was disappointing. Thankfully it was replaced without a problem. I wonder if it was from the battery dying. I tested the old battery and it powered the new one. Not sure what happened or if that's a first. I hate I lost everything on it.

I remember on my NOTE 2 once my battery died while driving. I tried to plug in my car charger and power it back up but I guess the charger wasn't providing enough juice so I let it charge for like 20 minutes and the phone powered up.
Point is if the battery is totally dead it has to charge for a bit before you can power on the phone...even with a wall charger.
