I've never had any problems charging my Razr. Last night I plugged it in my charger and nothing happened. I turned the phone off, turned it back on, plugged in charger and still nothing. I then turned off the phone and plugged in the charger. The phone turned on but didn't charge. It seems the phone recognizes the charger, but won't charge. Maybe defective phone or battery? I would assume Verizon would replace the phone. Don't ya think?

I've tried 2 motorola chargers, so two different USB cables. Another off brand chargers, and a car charger. All to no avail. Very confusing to me.

Okay
1. Power off ur phone
2. Power and vol +/- (~10 secs)
3. Navigate to BP Tools (vol down), enter on it (vol up)
This will enable charge module (battery icon with an ?)
4. Plug wall charger and tell me what happens.
Cheers

By hitting vol up will select BP Tools? If so when I do that the phone starts up and I plugged in wall charger. Still nothing. Thanks for the suggestion though. Hope Verizon will do something to fix it.

Battery is at 30% and I'm getting a replacement overnighted. Would they check to see if I'm rooted and make me pay for the replacement? The phone is in great shape. Anyway I can unroot with battery at 30%?

Could be a problem with the USB connection, obviously, but try putting a kettle pressure on the connection, i used to have issues like that with my blackberry back in the day. Maybe you could get it charged enough to Dartmoor back to stock.

So I received my first warranty phone Friday. It worked for two hours then wouldn't send/receive text or calls. I guess the radio in it wasn't any good. I went into the store again and they waived the overnight fee and I got other warranty phone yesterday. It worked fine and I was glad. I went to charge it last night and it wouldn't charge. My car charger worked fine. It seems to be a USB issue since no USB chargers will make the phone charge. How many times do they have to send me a phone before I can complain that I want a brand new phone?

Typically, Verizon has had a 3 strike rule. You'll have to go through phone support, since this almost never occurs at the store level. When there's been 3 complaints over the same problem, and you're vocal...insistent but not rude... you can get a new phone. If you're not getting results, ask to speak to the customer retention department.
My wife razr maxx wwont charge or turn on,there sending her a replacement phone over night,is it going to be a refurbished phone?

Yes. I asked the guy if these a refurbished phones and he said, "They are certified like new phones." So essentially refurb. This is my 4th Razr, 3rd refurb, and it seems to be in working order. Maybe I won't have to ask for a new phone after all.
My wife razr maxx crap out two days ago and now my razr maxx completely died today and won't charge or turn on,now there's a white led light on right side of phone,does anybody have a fix?I don't want to send it in and get a refurbish phone,please help.

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.

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.

So i bought my SGS3 (marble white) a few days ago and it was working perfectly fine. A few days ago my phone suddenly stopped charging. I rebooted the phone and it was charging again. Last night it again stopped charging. I again rebooted but this time it did not fix the problem.
I know that the charging port of the phone is not damaged as phone works perfectly fine when connected to a pc via usb cable and charges.
And i have never ever plugged in a non-genuine accessory to its micro usb port. Not even a dock!
Anyone with a similar problem or cure?
edit: software update fixed it in my case.

I will not say I have a cure, but I am facing the same problem, sometimes I have to reboot twice for it to start charging.

Well not exactly, it does not happen when i plug the phone into a usb port.
It happens with the charger but, now my phone is not just recognizing the charger. I have rebooted twice, thrice but still the same problem.
I'm having a similar problem,
Charging when -
phone on
power save on - WIFI/data and most other things are off
charges 2% per hr with official charger (wall socket)
Charging when -
phone OFF!
40% per hr with official charger (wall socket)
Haven't really tried the PC USB charging yet,
But i have noticed that my battery info page says the phones been on battery for
2 days 22hrs, Very strange as i have charged and attempted to charge the phone more than 10 times in the past 24hrs.
Anyone also noticed the on battery time to be wrong?
i got this problem yesterday too , restart then its ok , weird ...
before reboot the battery icon shows charging icon but its not charging at all
does charging a battery run a software too ?

My mobile is no more in warranty as I have rooted my phone, will have to come back to stock rom for me to claim warranty, that's why I am waiting for someone to provide solution before I return back to stock rom for warranty claim.

I thought it was best to ask here before i contact orange to report the problem, as i really didn't want to send the phone back to them if its something i could have fixed
I'm doing a factory reset and if it still has charging problems i will call orange today.
I'm facing the same problem. It started about 2 weeks ago.
I tried different chargers but no hope. the only way to charge it is via a usb port.
I had this problem once on the first day I got my phone. Worked fine though with an iphone charger with the samsung usb cable. Have any of you guys tried that?

I thanked your post accidentally while trying to quote you
The batterystats.bin file only resets itself after a full charge to 100%. That's the file that's responsible for showing all the battery usage info. So if you just keep topping up your phone without letting it charge to 100%, the battery statistics will be from the last full charge. If you see the graph you'll see it rises everytime you charge and then falls when you take it off charge. It cumulatively shows the amount of time you've used the phone on battery since the last full charge, regardless of how much you charge it in between. When you let it charge fully to 100% and unplug it, the battery stats file will be reset and give you a correct reading.

I'm having a similar issue, only difference to what you guys are having is that my SIII start charging via the normal charger if its been in USB for a bit, like 2-5 min. I tried the rebooting, nothing. it only charges through USB 1st, then it will work via the stock charger, I've tested it on another charger aswell, and the samsung car charger.
I really hope there is a quick fix, becuase I dont want to send it in for repairs, as cellphone providers in SA arent the best.
I had a similar problem with my gtab 2 10.1 but the wall charger is to blame

wait till it show that your battery is charging with the circle below moving..
let it go 1 round and start your phone. it may help.
Hi Guys, I left my GS2 charging overnight and then went to sleep. The following morning, I was unable to turn on the phone. There is also no battery charging indicator on the screen.
I've tried using another changer, getting a external battery charger but to no avail. I'm still unable to boot. The external battery charger shows that my battery is full but when still I can't turn it on.
So is my phone dead for good?

Might seem like a silly question as you have tried other charger, but have you tried replacing the battery with a brand new one.
The problem may lie within the battery itself.

Hi..first try removing the battery from the phone for about 10 secs and put it back in and see if that will help, because the battery should still be in a charging state even if the battery was not that good as this has happened to me on other samsung phones, and if not better re-install the rom you have, but make a backup first if you can..worth a try before proceeding further.

Oh okay I didn't know you could not get into the rom or past that battery icon..then most likely a port problem forsure..did you try another usb cable to just make sure.
Edit: when you have your usb cable unplugged from the phone it should still boot into your rom as the port has nothing to do with that part..what does it show on your screen when you boot the phone without the usb connected.

This happened to me last month on my 10 months old Mega. It was driving me crazy. Phone was charging just 10% / hour (as opposed to 60%). I tried charging with other chargers but result wasn't different.
After much research I came to know that my phone did not have any of the following problems
- ROM (stock 4.2.2), my phone was going into good deep sleep etc.
- Some app (I factory reset my phone to rule that out)
- My charger (I used others')
- My USB port (I always use wall charger)
The problem was with the freaking charger cable (weird right?). I took my friend's charging cable and used with original charger and my phone was back on track.
I still have to buy a new cable. Just researching to get a good one (weird again).
I found the Mega does tend to get hot sometimes where the battery is. I think it's faulty connectors. One of mine looks a bit discolored. But who knows.

Okay, so I just this moment joined the forum JUST so I could thank Member hopsin444 for this advice. Just as he guaranteed, it was the charging port. After getting his advice, I downloaded the PDF User Manual for the Galaxy Mega (my phone). I did what another member suggested and unplugged the battery for 10 minutes (just to be safe). I plugged it back in, and used the brand new charger and cable that came with my phone. I had been using a different charger, so I wanted to get a brand new clean start. Sure enough, the battery started charging immediately, good as new. I must say that in order for this method to work, you must insure that all components are in working order: battery, charger, and cable connectors. Because, otherwise, it's hard to debug exactly which little part is the culprit for the problem.
Once again, thank you ever so much hospsin444. You saved me a lot of cash, trips to the repair shop, and untold headaches.`
Update: The phone charge from 66% to 70% and then stopped charging again. I'm thinking it's the little slot -- on the phone itself -- that the charger cable plugs into that is the problem. My only option now is to take the phone to get repaired. But my thanks to hopsin still applies. It was fun while it lasted.
Similar problem. . . . grey battery issue ( can get around by using reboot command either in download mode or stock recovery ) i have 2 batteries and one still has a charge, replaced usb port ( NEW BOARD - $15 on -ebay) but no love . . . . when i power off it sits there with the grey battery icon and kills the battery. it is NOT recognized by computer and does not recognize a charger ( i have lots and they are all good wires and blocks ) ordered a wall charger and can use it but no USB at all

Your not the only one, this just happened to my Mega at the end of July and i replaced the port just the other week and still nothing. Only way it charges is if it was off...i cant charge it while its on, the battery depletes itself and on top of that i can't even use my portable battery to charge this phone. The cable has to only be a Samsung issued cable and that doesn't even make anything better. I'm just going to officially retire this phone and get me another phone
(Third Galaxy phone model.......and my LAST)

Your not the only one, this just happened to my Mega at the end of July and i replaced the port just the other week and still nothing. Only way it charges is if it was off...i cant charge it while its on, the battery depletes itself and on top of that i can't even use my portable battery to charge this phone. The cable has to only be a Samsung issued cable and that doesn't even make anything better. I'm just going to officially retire this phone and get me another phone
(Third Galaxy phone model.......and my LAST)

I figured out two other reasons why my phone was charging poorly even when I replaced the USB port 1. The charger wire was weak (yes it is a Samsung USB wire) and needed to be replaced. I wasn't getting enough power from the outlet to the phone and it would stay at a percentage for 30 minutes or longer and 2. There was a Low Battery Dump setting that was off (similar setting like the SGS3 and SGS4)
But one thing that now gets me is why I can't use my portable battery to charge anymore? Nothing is wrong with the battery (it charges all of my other electronics with no problem)

Could I try to cover it with a towel then put it in a bag ant it in the freezer for 12 hours and take it out and let it reach room temp
I'm having the same exact problem, did you figure out what the problem was?
sometimes change the plugin charger can resolve the problem, but if you have change the plugin and still can not charge like mine maybe
using charger 0.7A can resolve the charging problem, very slow charging . OR using 2.1A charger but try and error until found the perfect one. (it works on my mega LTE)
Me too, having charging problem with my Mega 6.3 i527m. : (
I had used different chargers, cables and batteries, still the problem of not charging was unsolved.
But when the original usb cable and Samsung's proprietary 2A Traveler's charger that came with my old Samsung Tab 7.7 were used, my Mega detected it immediately and the grey battery icon flashed off and on faster than before - a good sign it was charging.
So, that means my charging port/flex is not defective.
Lesson Learned: It pays to use the original accessories that came with your device or gadget!
