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.
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.

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.

So my phone will not charge over 20% and its getting super hot... I'm talking melt the back hot... I took the otter off it because the plastic was starting to stick to the phone.
I don't know what happened.. the phone was fine when I woke up... after a few hours of light use i noticed it was really hot in my pocket... I took it out to find the battery was almost dead... and it was smoking hot. I shut it down and let it cool off. Now when I plug it in I got the "your phone is consuming more power than your charger can supply" message. Mind you this is the charger I always use and have never had this issue. Even after being plugged in for hours the phone will not charge over 20%... and again.. its getting super hot.
So this has to be a hardware problem right? I want to bring it into sprint but I'm afraid they will want to charge me 150 for a replacement. Should I go through HTC instead? If I do I am stock rooted... how can I get my phone back to normal so HTC can't tell?
Also I did not download any new apps or anything that would screw with my phone.

No I'm using a palm charger.... could that really fry it? I doubt that's the issue.

Yes the palm charger very well may be your issue. Perform a factory reset and switch to the regular/stock charger to see if it will help.

I was letting my phone recharge after running battery all the down, when suddenly I started reading the S5 manual.
On page 10 it states: "Failure to unplug the wall charger before you remove the battery, can cause the device to become damaged."
Apparently, the device will power cycle, preventing proper operation.
This wasn't something that, otherwise I would have worried about and just wanted to warn others.
Carry on.

No, it's not a good idea.
But I've done it a couple times on my old S3 and never had a problem.
But, don't do it. lol
Actually I used to do it on another older phone, on purpose, because the battery was dead.
But most phones won't let you do that anymore even if you wanted to.
