I have a verizon galaxy s4 launch model with mdk bootloader. Recently when putting the phone on the charger for the night, when I get up in the morning the screen will not wake, occasionally may flicker. I have tried with a gpe rom and hyperdrive, both do the same. I can connect to charger and watch it but it won't happen. I believe it only happens when it charges to 100%. Requires a battery pull to get it up and running again. Otherwise when brightness is very low, bottom half of screen of flickers on both roms as well. Any thoughts?

I've noticed recently that when I attempt to charge this phone while off it starts having issues.
1) notification light not active like on my gnote 2
2) Is super hot to the touch after just a little while, doesn't seem to charge much either
3) charging indicator on screen shows charging while plug is removed
4) screen seems to show at a low brightness even when phone is suppose to be off while plugged charging
What gives? Anyone having similar issues?
Its on the att stock rom. Its boot loader unlocked and rooted. Was using The Base custom rom

These are all issues once you unlock the bootloader. It's recommended to never charge the phone while off.
I know I could research it but how would I easily reliving the boot loader?

I have the Verizon model. Yesterday, I rooted the phone, and flashed the last AOKP milestone build, then turned my phone off for the night, and plugged it in to charge. It charged just fine. This morning, I played around with the phone more, got everything set up how I wanted it, and let it have its first day use.
I'm getting ready to turn in for the night, and just now, I turned off my phone and plugged it in, but I noticed the screen stuck on the big battery image. I waited a while, assuming it would just fade off and then charge normally, but it just stayed stuck. I tried to power the phone on while it was "frozen" on this screen, but it was unresponsive. I pulled the battery, put it back in and connected the charger, and the same thing happened. I pulled the battery again, this time turned the phone on, plugged it in while it was still on, then shut the phone down, and after it powered down, it immediately locks up on the battery image.
It definitely wasn't doing this yesterday when I turned in for the night... Why is it doing this all of a sudden? Is this a known issue? Is there a way to solve this?
Hmmm that is weird. I don't think it has anything to do with the ROM you flashed (someone correct me if I'm wrong here...) because that phone off battery charging animation happens regardless of the ROM. Are you saying the phone won't turn on at all while it is plugged in now? It turns on when unplugged right?
Yeah, it seems like if I plug it in while the phone is off (or if I plug it in while it's still on and then turn it off without unplugging it), it gets stuck on that battery image and becomes completely unresponsive and I have to pull the battery.
Are you holding the power button for around 4 seconds when trying to turn in back on?

Yep. Held it for about that long, nothing happened. Waited a second, then presses and held it down for even longer, still no response.
It's strange to me that this didn't happen at all yesterday, and today, this happens. Him.
The last poster on the Unofficial AKOP + IR builds thread has the same issue. Might be a new AKOP issue then. I'd watch that forum for a while and submit a bug report to AKOP if the problem persists. Also try Odin-ing back to stock and re-loading everything and see if that fixes the issue (if you have the time of course).

I flashed a different kernel. Now when plugged in from power off the big battery image still freezes, but press power and screen will turn off. Hit it again and the small black and white battery charging animation comes up. Hold power and phone turns on.
Problem solved. It's the CM kernel. Now using ktoonsez kernel.

Hm. I'll have to look for that kernel.
By the way, does franco kernel not work with the S4? I downloaded the franco updater app I always used on my Galaxy Nexus, but when I go the screen for downloading the latest kernel like I've always done, I just get a blank screen on the S4.
I don't think he's made a kernel for us? Check original development subforum

Phone will only charge when rebooted and it shows the [Safestrap: Disabled] screen and only when I select the Recovery option.
It vibrates and shows a battery empty and no charging signal off and on until it dies....
This all just happened last Monday while driving. It's the same with whether connected to the computer or wall or whatever. Essentially I have to power off the device to charge it, and the charge doesn't last a day.
Phone is rooted. VRUFNC5
Any thoughts? I'm very limited in knowledge, probably shouldn't have tried root but successfully did anyway...

Is this all with the same USB cable?

It could be a problem with your charging port which is very not good. I doubt it is a software issue, though I suppose I could be wrong.

Possibly bad/dying battery? Are you using a rom or stock rooted?

Stock rooted. I've actually got a square trade replacement coming today (this is a claim phone and i've only had it 40 days).
It will charge, but only in the configuration mentioned above. It will not charge when running at all. I think the battery will tell right away if it's not working correctly in the new phone so maybe that will clear it up. I'll advise once I get the new one up and running.
Hi all,
Santa brought me the official wireless charging dock, which works brilliantly, however whilst charging the screen comes on for a few seconds randomly. I want to use it on my bed side table, but the screen is waking me up.
Anyone else got a similar problem?
Cheers,
BS...
It sounds like maybe the phone stops and restarts its charging cycle, maybe losing connection briefly. Check in your settings to see if you can uncheck the option for the screen to come on when plugged into a charger.

It's an issue with the Lollipop update, not the charger. Been happening since the first Lollipop build.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/lollipop-v20a-wireless-charging-textra-t2935987
I've got this problem 2 times on lollipop approximately by 90 % battery state. It happened 1 weak ago. But now all is ok...
just got my plus friday. got the best buy deal with the free wireless charger from samsung. its official oem charger. i am having problems with my plus charging for any long period of time. it will start out fine and after a couple minutes it usually stops charging and the blue light will just blink. or every couple minutes the screen will light up and it will make the sound like i lifted it up and put it back down. i have put my regular s6 on the charger and it doesn't give me any issues. just the plus. anyone else have this issue?
I have the same issue
Well it seems I am the ONLY person on all of the internet who is having this kind of problem with a Verizon Wireless Charger and the S6 Edge+. Friday of last week, the wife and I got the S6 Edge+, two wireless chargers, and 2 cases from Verizon, all the same everything.
My wife's phone has zero issues.
My phone; when placed on the wireless charger starts to charge, but then every percent it charges the phone turns on, beeps like I placed it down again and shuts off... it does this all the way to 100%, then stays off. It does this with or without the case on. I also swapped phones in other chargers and the wife's phone works fine in my charger and mine still acts stupid in her.
I reset my phone to factory thinking I messed something up and it still does it. Tried rebooting it and placing it again, same outcome. Going to take the phone back to Verizon today and ask WTF. Sounds a bit like a S6 Edge+ issue.
Mine was doing it last night. I put my plus on, it starts fine, then in a short period of time like u said the screen flashes and i get the ring like i just put it on the charger.
Other times it just stops charging and the blue light blinks. My regular s6 has no issues
