no charge, no light.....

hi,
i drained my battery completly, and now when i want to charge it nothing hapened. it is not charging, no green light on device..... and i can`t turn it on becouse no juice in battery.... help needed how to charge the batery away from device or something.....
thanx in advance

Well,Jump start the battery,or charge it with Wall charger capable of 1amp out put,it'll start to charge.

To jumpstart the battery use a 9v battery and give the battery a few 30 second charges which should give it enough juice for the phone to boot and get it charging from the usb cable or wall charger thats less than 1amp.
It may take a few attempts to get enough charge.
Also cutting and end of a spare usb cable and using that to jumpstart the battery is possible too.

it would be more nice that if u could show it with picture illustration guide (if possible)
by the way. Is this the 9v battery u were refering too:-

hey dhawal4u stop spaming ) ..... and don't do 30 seconds shocks...try firstly with 15 seconds...or use a wall charger like zabardast said..it's safer

I guess charging it using a USB cable may also work because when my battery all once drained i used a USB cable to charge it and it worked but for sometime in the starting dont do anything after sometime its orange light will automatically be on or you can use the Wall charger as other are saying and once problem is solved do tell in the THREAD so that people dont post replied saving sites bandwidth.

usb cable jump worked for me. happened to have one usb cable without another head so tried it, few less than 10sec spikes and then connected to computer and boom it started charging
thanks.

Hi,
Could you tell me how to do this? Which are the + and - contacts of the wizard's cell?
Thanks.

Battery Charging

I have noticed recently that my HD2 charges when it feels like. I can charge direct from mains, usb or portable solar charger and have noticed that when plugged in and below 100% or any number down to about 10% that it does not always indicate that it is charging and sometimes stops charging before it has got to a 100%.
I have two batteries and both do the same and the phone is set to charge when on USB, so what gives, does anyone recognise this issue and how big an issue is it.. cheers..

Still trying to find an answer to this as the situation has got worse. Now I find that the battery will not charge until it has gone into the red zone and not always then.
Yesterday both batteries were in the last 10% of their life and then just stopped, even though the phone was plugged into the charger.
I have two chargers, three leads, two batteries but just the one phone so I am guessing that either the phone has issues or the rom that I am using has issues..
looking for clues and pointers..

I have had a similar issue, but it occuredmostly when I plugged in my portable charger with me. Above 50% charge, charging was not trustworthy, but below that it was. Up till now I have found the micro-usb cable to be the culprit, although I do not know exactly why.

Okay I will check my cable, maybe get one that I have not used before... thanks...

Well it is not the leads. The phone defo has a mind of its own and I can not make any sense of its charging behaviour.

SORTED...
At LAST.. finally got to the bottom of this..
SPB Phone Suite has both "Profiles" and "Rules" and I had not realised that you need to set the rules up and not just leave them at the default as this was telling my phone not to charge in certain profiles..

S4 Charger Issue

So recently my S4 has been charging incredibly slowly, I decided to install a quick app (Galaxy Charging Current) to monitor the current output from my charger. I'm using the standard S4 charger that came with it which is supposed to deliver around 2.1A. I do understand that it'll never deliver quite as much as 2.1A due to current drop in the cable etc, but I was shocked to see 300mA being delivered to my phone which would take hours and hours to charge my phone to completion. In fact, I left my phone on charge overnight from about 15% and woke up 9 hours later to 53%, in the battery settings it showed the charge decreasing and increasing by increments.
And so I believed that something with the charger was wrong, so the first thing I did was try out two different USB cables for my charger and then test to see if the current had changed, it had not it was still at 300mA. I ended up buying a new stock S4 charger but the issue persists. However, with this new charger it outputs 1890mA at times, but then drops to 300mA randomly for periods of time. I've tried different wall sockets as well.
Anyone else had anything similar or could offer advice on why this is and how I can change it?

Bump. Issue still persists.

Hi, take out your battery and look at the serial number. if it starts with BD and maybe looks swollen, its faulty. Samsung will replace it with a new one for free.

It isn't the swollen battery issue I'm afraid, already checked.
Also: the phone charges at 1800mA sometimes and then sometimes I see this, it's driving me insane not being able to charge properly

Fast charger stopped working

When I check the power it says USB even though I am hooked up to the factory charger and cable. It's been a month that it has malfunctioned. Then yesterday it started working again....Then today my phone locked up.. Had to do a battery pull and it's messed up again. I factory reset my phone a few times. How do I force it to read the charger..And not think it's USB charging?

Is the usb A plug all the way in? Or try another plug. Could be a faulty cord or plug. I know I ran in to an issue charging and the cord wasn't fully in.

Have 3 different cables and used my 3.0 car charger too.

I'm having the same issue. Suddenly it doesn't beep when plugged in for at least 5 seconds and when it does I get the slow charging message. The quick charger from LG works sometimes but not always. Cleaned out the port, pulled battery, let it drain to 0% and still says I am charging through USB instead of AC.

And now completely screwed.
Stuck on usb charging doesn't matter what cord or charger and now won't power down while plugged in. As long as plugged in it just restarts. I tried 2 factory reset. I love this phone but these charging problems are pissing me off.

Ultra fast battery drain problem

Hi,
So my phone started to act weird while being charged (it was for about month), when battery hit 9, 14, 27, 44 and something near 80 and 90 [%] it acted like cable didn't connect and always at these levels, but I didn't care as long as it charged. I've tried to maintain battery levels between 20-90% (said the most healthy for Li-po batteries) and charge it only via original charger (original cable mostly, then not cheap 2.4 A cable).
Yet, yesterday happend sad thing.
I've plugged my phone as always after hard day at 6% charged and after 30 mins BOOM! 100%! (impossible). I was shocked and couldn't believe it so I did restart it without unplugging it from charger; my phone did reboot but didn't turn on, I've unplugged it, tried again - it's on with 56%, so I think it's ok let's leave it at this level but my phone though differently - every second my battery was drained for 1%.
Since then, whenever I turn on my phone it loses battery like that; while turned off and plugged in it behaves like cable is broken (disconnect and connect) yet displays 0% and random value (75%, 84%, 91%). Sometimes when I turn it on it displays SD card error but it's totally random.
I've managed to take this SS, hope someone knows if it is battery issue or motherboard.

Do a clean/fastboot flash and see if the problem persists.

It did help, but charging problem remains, with these magic steps where cable looks like it's disconnecting.
Thanks for your answer and sorry for delayed reply.

Try another cable maybe, or charge your phone switched off or from pc/laptop/powerbank.

As I mentioned, I've checked every charging option available, yet this problem still occurs, I've flashed global 9.5.1.0 Stable via fastboot without any problems, so I guess it's not USB port problem, yet I couldn't check if it was charging/discharging battery in this mode.
P.S. Yes, I've checked in stock recovery and on turned off phone and I must sadly admit that it still disconnects/connects during charging like it was bad cable.
