Hi Rearna,
I also have that problem dont know why it does it.
What i do is charge it for 5 mins then unplug and then plug it back in again.
Then it usually charges properly.
I presume its a glitch in the software.
memory card

Thanks for your advice.
It really is annoying because the other week I put it on charge, woke up took it off charge and five minutes later looked at it and it was 55%. I didn't have time to put it back on charge as I had to leave. After that it didn't happen until last night.
Also do you have a problem when the phone tells you the memory card has been removed?
Thanks
One backup data and factory reset .
Two test with supplied USB lead and charger .
Test another charger test another lead test another battery .
Or take to a service centre .

Try another USB cable, it is not the charger.

Mega 6.3 won't charge!

Guys, i have a 10 months old Galaxy Mega 6.3 and suddenly i'm not able to charge the battery.
I've tried to charge with 30%~ 40%, with my phone turned on, which i always do, everyday... And don't charge at all.
I've tried to charge it turned off, but keeps repeating that screen with the battery with a circle(and a rumble), then this repeats over and over...
Is my battery dead?

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.

I have the latest stock rom installed, so, i don't think it is a rom issue. Besides that, how can i re-install it if i can't turn my phone on? Now i have something 1 or 2% battery life =/
I've tried to remove the battery a couple times, 10sec, 10min... nothing seems to work. Since i have warranty, i'll have to use it, the problem here in Brazil, specially in my city, the service takes forever(3 to 4 weeks =/)

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.

The battery terminals may be dirty.wipe both gold coloured contacts with a clean, soft cloth and try charging the battery again.

You can check your charger. And also check your charging port.. sometime charger also damage for this..

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
Any help or ideas are welcome
fyi :
completely stock
never dropped, wet or abused just stopped working right!

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)
Replace USB port Had the exact same problem Phone would charge then not

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!

OTA update prevents wireless charging

Anybody else have an issue with wireless charging after upgrading to Lollipop? My phone will only charge to 50% and no higher. This started occurring after updating to 5.0.2.
Using a SM-G850F version 5.0.2 unrooted
This happened to me too when I upgraded to 5.02. Now my phone only wirelessly charges upto 69%

With 5.02 installed, Qi charging increases the temperature of the phone to the point where I get an error message stating there is a problem with the battery, when I know there is not, and the phone gets quite hot.
Reverted back to 4.4.4 via odin and Qi charging is working fine again.
It would interesting to know if users with the official samsung wireless charging cover get this problem with 5.02. I am using a 3rd party wireless receiver.
As battery charging is simply by voltage through the connectors in the rear of the phone I doubt there is a difference between the charging system but you never know. Mine only charges to 73% with a Phone Salesman Alpha Slim PWRcard.
I also have this problem - I have a fonesalesman slim PWRcard and it used to work flawlessly, but since the update to 5.0.2 it is useless! It connects and says it is charging, but then doesn't charge. On some charging pads it constantly connects and disconnects, but still doesn't charge. I would appreciate any help as wireless charging was an incredibly useful feature.
I think we need to be pestering Samsung with this, it is a problem of their making. Interestingly I sat my phone on the dock whilst it was in TW Recovery Mode and it fully charged.

I think your options are:
-Await the Marshmallow update and charge via USB
or
-Downgrade back to KitKat like I did.

I hope they (Samsung) do not take that stance. The reason why I went wireless is because all Qi-compatible device should work with each other. That's the whole reason why I sold my Duracell Powermat ages ago. I'm not looking for rapid wireless charging, just more that 55%.
As for an update: I'm running CM13 6.0.1 and rooted. Still no luck getting a full charge.

So on Marshmallow should not expect improvement of the situation with a wireless charging? Or not?
In 4.4.4 worked well. So the problem is the system?

Galaxy s6 edge fast charging getting slower after the last update

Hello Edgers
As it says in the title, my GS6 edge is charging slowly after the last update.
It says fast charging, but it takes almost 3 hours to full.
Although it used to take 1 - 2 hours maximum to full.
-it's charging now - > reached 80% and it says 35m untill full -
35 minute at 80%!!! :crying::crying:
I tried another charger and it has the same problem. so either I have 2 broken chargers or the problem is in the phone.
Any ideas? or is it a common problem in charging after the update?

I tried blowing in it, but no result.
I also tried putting the phone into safe mode to make sure that it's not because of any app I installed but I also got no results.

I have the same issue, also not allways is detecting the Fast Charger.
As a workaround I let it charging slow for some seconds replug the cable and voila! Fast charging in the correct time...
It seems that is a common issue after Nougat update in a large number of devices prior to S8... (If you search in google you could see it)
The kernel is the culprit to choose the method of charge, and for whatever reason is not choosing/doing correctly...
Some people say that wiping the system cache from recovery helps (not my case)
