Help needed, My i717 Note won't charge thru USB - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I was running the 7005 ROM since the first of January. When I tried to charge my Note, I heard the plonk sound as the phone recognized the power being applied, the battery icon changed to charging briefly and then back to normal.
I wiped and installed stock ATT ROM, but the problem continues. It won't charge when phone is powered off. Nothing happens when you plug in power. If I pull the battery out and plug in power, it boots up, Samsung logo comes on and it loops again and again.
Any suggestions?

Try another charger

If another charger doesn't work try playing around with the cable while it's plugged in. If you're able to find a sweet spot then chances are the charge port on your phone is faulty which seems to be common with these phones. Samsung will replace it if you're still under the 1 year warranty.

I'm on my third phone for this very issue.
Saved and Texan by the Grace of God, Redneck by choice.

Had this same issue and luckily was in warranty and Att exchanged...

I just had my phone changed under my warranty. What i thought it was the cables and chargers that where screwd ended up been the charger port.

Sold it to an unsuspecting random guy on the craigslist for $200 with extra batteries and an universal charger.

No, am not proud of myself but I believe in karma. The phone was sold to me as brand new when in fact it was well used.

You should keep that stuff to yourself. Everyone has those dark moments we aren't proud of, but they don't belong on the worldwide internet.

Does anyone know a reliable source by buying a new charge port? And does the i717 use the same charge port as the i9220?
Thanks.

Charging affecting keyboard function...?

I've had 2 android devices and both of them have this same problem. When I'm charging the phone it makes typing a nightmare. Somehow it seems to throw something off. The only way to describe it is like it creates a lag. It doesn't matter what keyboard I use, what ROM I use (so far). My first device was an HTC Incredible and my current device is Galaxy S2. Never experienced this on Blackberry or Windows Phone 7. Anyone know how I can make this stop because I sure would like to be able to text and charge at the same time for once. Thanks a ton in advance!

I have this problem with my phone as well. Its gets pretty unresponsive while being charged. Another member told me it could be the charger thats causing this...as soon as i take it off the charger ..its fixed. So i don't mess with it anymore when charging.

What wall adapter/cord are you using
Aftermarket or other vendor chargers can produce some sort of frequency or oscillation that has a negative effect on the touch screen.
Try charging with the Samsung charger.
Same with "dirty" wall power - stock charger on a Sears inverter basically locked up my Infuse's screen and made it unusable.
Stock charger on any normal wall outlet was fine.
OEM charger straight from the wall for this Samsung. Doesn't matter what kind of charger (have several OEM Blackberry chargers and the output is the same), direct wall power, surge protector or car charger. Happens everywhere...my house, friend's, parent's...gotta be the phone or a combination of both. I found an app called Voltage Control but can't figure it out for nuthin' nor am I sure if it'll even help this. I'm one of those folks that sadly lives and breathes via this device and as Murphy's Law would have it, it seems I always need it the most when it's charging. I'm gonna research the crapple out of this and if I find a solution I'll certainly be back here to spread the word...

[Q] Red x when charging. Help!

Recently I traded my galaxy nexus for a galaxy tab 10.1. But whenever I plug it into a computer or an outlet there's a red x on the battery... it charges reallllly slow. I left it to charge for nine hours from an outlet while turned off, and it went from 5% to 55%. WOW. That's really slow. So I thought that the problem is the cable so I bought a new cable that came with a car adapter. And it worked like a charm in the car. However when I traded I kept the 3 pronged galaxy nexus charger. So anyways I arrived home happy, but I wanted to test it in the computer... Red x again. I tried the wall outlet, again with the x. I tried the wall outlet with 110v and 220v still red x. Then I looked at both outputs on the wall charger and car charger both had the same output which is 5volts and 1A. Then I looked at the input and the car charger was 12-24VDC and the wall outlet was 100-240v and 50Hz and 0.15A. I need help please.
I have 3.2 honeycomb and P7500.
I think that this is an internal issue software wise.
If you need anymore information don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks in advance

On stock settings u wont be able to charge the device connected to ur computer and u will get the Red X on the battery icon! Therez a small tweak to activate that feature to activate charge on pc connect but u will loose the mtp connection. As far as this issue... Seems to be a battery proble. Still try to flash and get to stock to confirm.

What do you mean by loosing mtp? Also I'm a bit noobish at this because I just switched from ios. So can you dumb Down what you said a little. And what do you mean by "still try to flash and to get stock to confirm."
Also my problem is wall charging.

I get that if I try use galaxy nexus charger, however if I charge my galaxy nexus with the tab 10.1 charger I have no problems, make sure your using the correct charger, and for the slow charging I have a USB extension cable if I use that it can take up to 12 hours for a full charge
By charger do you mean cable or outlet?
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda app-developers app
simplest answer is that the red X means that you're not supplying enough voltage to your tablet. You need 2A (A = Amps), computer USB ports generally do 500mA (1/4 of what you need). Phones usually need less. So the reason your tablet won't charge off the phone charger is because it doesn't supply enough voltage; the phone does fine on the tablet charger because it's just oversupplied (don't worry, your phone won't be damaged by this!)
So what you need is:
1) an original charger for this particular tablet (the cable probably isn't the issue, but I've seen cables that can't transmit the full voltage. The nook color is a good example of this)
2) a 2A charger - can't promise any particular ones work though...
3) (and this is the one you should do): You're on XDA. This is a place for folks who root and install custom ROMs on their devices. Most of the ROMs have USB charging built-in (in the Kernel; don't worry about what that means). Install a custom ROM (I'd suggest AOKP). Problem solved, plus you've increased both performance and functionality of your device exponentially. If you're not willing to do this, XDA probably isn't the place for you anyways.

The outlet , the one for my tab is twice as big as my Gnex one, I guessing they both give out different power, get the official charger!! like I said I can replicate that any time I want by using the tab cable with my Gnex outlet,
Thank you soooo much

I found a solution to a problem that was really vexxxxing me. One of my chargers was working and the other (longer lead) all of a sudden started showing the red cross. Ahhh. The solution (http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...galaxy-tab-10-1-not-charging-brand-new-3.html) was to blow very hard on the 30 pins of the charger and hey presto - started charging again without the red cross.
There are solutions to this problem with quite a few custom ROMs. Task's ICS for example has this patched. I am quite certain there are others.

Charging issue

Okay, this is a weird one. When charging my phone, almost every single time, it will charge up to about 76-83%, and then stop. However, if I unplug it and then plug it back in it will resume charging like normal up to 100%. I mean this is bizarre...is it a battery calibration issue, perhaps?
Edit: Happens on any/every ROM I use.

No it hasn't...However, I'm also using the charger from my Galaxy S2 most of the time...could that be it? I'll have to find my LG charger, in order to test.

You mean the usb box from ur galaxy s2.... If so each box may have a different output for each phone..... For instance when i use my daughters charger it takes 5 times longer to charge my og than the og charger so that may be ur problem.
Via LG OG running Rootbox 4.2.2
Had the same thing too and as described in the post above it is in fact due to the output. Just compared my old but still kicking s2 and my og charger and the og charger has a much greater output.
Yeah lgog charger is 5v 1.2a. It's very nice. We also gotta qualcomm technology called quick charge or something like that that enables the battery to charge substantially faster without damaging itself. It's a logic chip in the phone and improved battery chemistry from LG. Asian manufacturers have a huge portfolio of products and are weirdly driven to diversify in all directions. LG has their own chemical company, and that's who makes our pimp batteries. I stuck with HTC for 7 years, but if LG flagship phones continue to have decent development then I'll probably stick with LG for a while. It's cool that they manufactured the entire phone from scratch except the SoC, no other company can really say that besides Samsung. And they're both Korean companies. Btw, south Korea is a great place to vacation.

Agree. Actually, when compared to other cables the OEM cable is much thicker.

It looks as though I need to pay attention a bit more. I was using the LG wall charger, however, I wasn't using the right cable. I was using my Samsung cable. The Samsung cable is longer and reaches to where I can charge and play with the phone at night. I'll try the cable it actually came with and see if it continues to pull the same trick. The LG cable is definitely thicker.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I totally agree with you on the length of the cable and is why I was also using the s2 charger as well. If you need the extra length you can probably get by using an s3 charger. I steal my girlfriend's s3 charger from time to time just because I want a little more mobility than two feet and it charges the phone just fine with very similar output ratings....... 1.0 amps compared to 1.2 amps of the og charger.
I've had something similar happen recently. The phone will either charge extremely fast or extremely slow. I usually charge my phone at about 30% and sometimes it will charge fully in about 90 minutes and others it will take up to 8 hours, with the slowest part being in that 73-87% range you describe. I always use the LG charger and cable because its the only one that I have. I'm running code fire's CFX ROM if that helps anyone out.

That's some weird stuff. I'm getting good performance right now using the stock cable with a belkin 1A cigarette lighter to USB adapter. But last week I grabbed a cheapo Chinese retractable cable that was in my wife's car and plugged it into the built in USB port in the car (don't know what it's rated output is) and the battery drained VERY fast... Roughly one percent every minute or 2. Freaked me out... Certainly appears to me this phone is temperamental about cables...

yeah had the same probably with a car charger with my og and to think about it my s2 as well, I travel a lot for my job and constantly use gps while traveling and I've found that a lot of those cheapo car chargers you pick up from gas stations may charge the phones while inactive don't really charge them very well while in use. I could watch my battery percent fall while charger on both my s2 and og while using navigation, ended up finding a high output charger at a truck stop with a cord the size of a cb radio lol and havent haven't had any issue with it since. This is with stock and custom rom, even reverted back to stock a couple times to make sure that it wasn't the custom firmware that was causing the issue. Guess the makers of cheap chargers haven't caught up with the big batteries todays smart phones pack, should of hold on to my bag phone charger a little longer lol!!

Agreed. In my case the phone was discharging rapidly while not in use. Screen off. I'm thinking the plug on that cheap cable was shorting a couple pins on the plug..

That's on thing i do miss about having a removable battery though, is the fact that a large part of my job is in very dusty dirty environments ....i.e. steel, aluminum mills and other high temp dusty and dirty as hell places is that i could remove my battery and feel safe while using a little contact cleaner. Now og days i play it safe with air. But either way i don't think that has anything to do with the use of cheap chargers lol. Best bet would be to stick with oem or pay the extra price tag for those high out put chargers that att offer.

F Y Samsung! I am using a Samsung charger and battery!

This is the first time this has happened. http://i.imgur.com/EYlwUqO.jpg I was using a Samsung charger and battery. I was using a third party cable but changing it to an official sprint micro USB cable didn't help, even after reboot. I finally removed the battery, put in a fully charged one, swapped cables with external charger and the one with the phone, used a HTC charger for the external charger, and the phone didn't complain. Wtf?! Is a battery dying or use the latest official ROM f ing up? I've never seen this on any of my previous Samsung phones ever!

I agree, if that doesn't work take it to your nearest sprint service center with your cable. They'll take care of you.
Stop using the 3.0 cable. Known issue. Thats why they swiched the charging porton the note 4

Help!?!?!? Charging/battery issue

Guys lemme start of by saying I love the LG V10. Had it for well over a month now, recently like 2 days ago my charger just stopped working? Most chargers I got to plug in and out like 20 times for it to charge my phone, its charges super slow and is getting really annoying... Can anyone help me... Like I dont want to get rid of my phone, but I refuse to have to have a second battery, that I have to charge in a cradle to keep my phone on, I want to be able to just use the charger.
It seems to me its not the cord? more than the phone, I got one cord that works, but it barely charges the phone... HELP PLEASE
edit:
called LG they basically told me to shove it. Said I can send my phone, wait till they recieve it then they will try to fix it if not they will send me a REFURBISHED DEVICE my device is basically brand new perfect condition besides this and a screen burn already? Makes no sense to me I told them they can get back to me and correct whatever issue this is and stand behind there product, not send me someone elses used and abused device when mine is in great shape or they can shove it and I will be switching companies...
Are u using the OEM charger that came with the phone? It uses a higher amperage/voltage to quick charge the battery. A charger that outputs in say, 1.0A will charge it VERY SLOW... Learned that lesson like 2 days ago when I didn't have my charger with me and borrowed someone's cheap Kyocera charger... Omg I thought I would never move up a few %...
