On my previous Galaxy S3, the LED was red when charging and turned green when fully charged. On my new Galaxy S4, the LED is red when charging, but it stays red after it is fully charged.
Did Samsung change something? Is it possibly related to the firmware? I have MDM. Or is there a new setting somewhere? I noticed that the description in the text for the charging LED is different from the text on my S3, it explicitly does state the color "red" while charging, which it did not on the S3.
I am a little worried that it may be a problem with my device. However, I checked that the color green is working with *#0*# in the dialer. Also, the phone seems to be acknowledge being fully charging correctly in battery stats (battery monitor widget). Can anyone help me and clarify what the expected behavior is or if I have a problem and I should take some action?

When your phone says100% leave for a further 20-30mins then will go green and say unplugg fully charged. That's what mine does any how mate.

Hi,
I am currently on ME2
But it has been the same with all firmwares I have had.
As cameracartwright says,leave it charge until it says 100%
That is about 2-2 and a half hours.

Thank you for the reply. I will try that. For my S3 the LED immediately turns green after it reaches 100%. I think I did have it on 100% for 10 minutes. Battery monitor widget says "fully charged" and displays the time since reaching 100%.
But you have this behavior that the LED of the S4 only turns green after being charged for a longer while?
Success! I left it to charge for a longer time and I just checked and it said "24 minutes" on battery and the LED was indeed green. Thank you everyone. So glad there is no hardware problem with the LED or battery or some software issue that would require me to wipe my device. Thank god for XDA.
You have to wait until the message of Battery Fully Charged appears.

Fortunately, not needed! Was a rom problem, many roms! After full wipe with repartition using odin, pit, baseband, ecc ...using the rom of Alexyuh, the led now work correctly and no random reboot/shutdown for now!

Hi guys,
can someone explain me the possible colours of the Jam's led and what they mean?
Static orange means charging, static green means fully charged, blinking green means network reception is ok, blinking orange means incoming event (alarms, SMS, phone call etc) or existing GPRS connection. The blue LED means Bluetooth active.
And red means dead battery.

I had red when plugging into a usb car charger - and then the phone reset.

It's called a backup battery. I think the LED comes on then the SD reader shuts down and the screen goes to half brightness. Don't forget the backup battery.
So there!!
the red comes on if i take the battery out while it's connected to usb, probably means error with the battery
and i think it comes on on low battery as well
I tested it last night. When my battery got down to 10% the screen went to half brightness, the radio turned off, the SD card slot shut down and the red LED began blinking.

So the battery is not dead.... Still have a little juice on it

Non windows 2005 pocketpcs retain about 40% of battery when the battery low indicator is showing:
How much battery charge do you think you have then? 5% maybe?
Try half.
Yes, when we shut you down because your batteries were "critically low," they were still 1/4 to 1/2 full. Why? Because, if the batteries ever fully died, it would be catastrophic.

I have this problem too... But at main charger!
Did you solve your problem?
Thanks
As title says, it wont charge. Tried using a PC and the regular charger. The notification LED is just flashing orange, then green and so on.
Bit of a SNES solution, but have you tried blowing in the USB socket, and blowing in the connector? If there is some fluff covering one of the terminals that will stop it charging.
Doesnt help. When I am connecting the charger, the notifiction LED lights up orange. And 10-20 seconds later it starts flashig green, orange, green, orange and so on.
If I start the phone, it says 0% battery, and if I set it to charge, it just shows 99%.

I had this problem. Have you installed any data monitoring apps?
No, WinLongLife must be the closest one.
I really need help.
Now the battery is all dead. Cant even preform a hard reset.
From the reports on here this seems to indicate a dead battery.

Consider how you have treated the battery when recharging.
It certainly sounds like a dead battery.
Have you allowed it to discharge on a regular basis?

I usually charge it at below 20%, but the in the last week, the battery has been very bad for some reason. So I would always have to charge it at 40-50% if I was going out or something, so it would last.

The led sequence shows the presence off the cable and that power is being detected, but, charge process is failing.

I have tried two different cables.
I take it that you have tried a wall charger.
Their output its higher than USB, but, if they don't work then you will have to change the battery.
HD2 charging problem
Sounds familiar to me!
I got a second battery (1500mAh), which won't charge when the phone is turned ON. The second I plug it in to a USB port I states 100% charged although the battery is at an arbitratry level. The weird thing is when the phone is turned OFF, the battery will charge normally !
I had the same blinking sequence during a road trip, when the HD2 was charging on the GPS stand, under direct sun.
When refreshed, the HD2 resumed charging.
For me it seems to be the impossibility of recharging - dead battery or hot battery (failsafe).
I had a similar problem..
When I connected the micro usb to the computer or the charger..it showed that my battery is filled..and thats it..so when i took it off my phone was dead..
And little later i found out that the trouble was in this lil metal-kinda things(dont kno how to call it) that connect the battery to the phone..and after i done the "battery off" reset(i was a total noob) several times one of those metal-like things was bent that it didnt touch the battery..then i carefully re-put the battery so its all connected..and it worked!

I can't believe I'm the 18th post and no one has suggested this.
Go to the battery settings...the easiest way is to click on the taskbar and then click on battery. Make sure that the check box is NOT checked next to "When phone is on, do not charge the battery......"
If that doesn't help you it may be useful to someone else. This was also a problem for me when I first got the HD2.

Well...I'm very sorry...you can rest assured that I won't bother you again.
Oh...one other thing...my response was to the OP...not to you.
I just got the Huawei IDEOS X5. Once the battery ran low, I plugged it to the charger. The problem is that the Led Status Indicator (above the screen on the front of the phone) doesn't become orange (it is green). According to the instructions this Led should be orange while the charge is in progress, and become green once the phone is fully charged. This behavior does not follow the info described in the manual of the phone.
Has anyone had the same problem? Do you know why this is happening? Should I return the phone back to the seller?
Thanks
khtc
Led burns green, when the battery is above 90% or so. Under that should be orange. Sometimes when you plug in the charger, it takes time even to start charging (Led is green then). I'd say try to observe more
I thought the same when I first start charging my device, but when the device was fully charged I realized that the led(which seems to me green) wasn't.
The orange color of the led it's not so orange(like was on other devices) but is more close to green(again the green on other devices). On ideos the the green led it's not so light and yellowish, it's more deep like trees green.
And what sanpsa says happens also after 90%
Thank you guys. You were 100% right both!
Dunno, whether it depends of soft or not, but when battery below 15% (or 10%) LED should be red. For mine device it's so.

Thats true...
My notification light is alternating between green and orange and I have no clue why..
My battery is low but it should just blink orange for that.
I've done some research and they sat the battery is overheating, the battery is not hot at all so I'm doubting that is the issue.
I'm running ICS currently.
any ideas of what this is.
Also, I can check to see if it's a notification as the LCD is busted until I get it fixed, it's just driving me nuts.
Most probably you have a notification so the LED alternates between red for low battery and green for the notification. It's what it does on mine and I'm on ICS also (I2IEAILiiTY's hybrid)

I bought a replacement battery (not original) and everytime I try charging it the
LED start flashing form green to orange and putting back the old original battery
charges just fine. How do I reset or make it charge it?
I have a small Problem since yesterday. After charging is my Notification LED always Green, when my Display is on.
When Display off, charging Shows Red LED. WhattsApp and other notifications - Blue, as normal.
But when the Display is on, Shows it only Green. Charging, notifies - Stable green!
What i tried: customs, Stock Rom, Root +/-, 1 hour without battery. Result : 0
Samsung Service said without testing - Knox 0x1. No Warranty. Only Motherboard replace = 230 €....
Who had same issue and maybe can help?
I think that you don't need a motherboard replace just because the LED is having a strange behavior
Have you tried a factory reset?
