[Q] charging issue? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First a bit of history,
Ive had my i9505 for about a month now and its been rooted pretty much the entire time, i flashed foxhound rom with faux kernel a few days ago and this morning i took my phone off charge to find it only had 5%,
So i placed it back on charge and nothing happened, i tried another outlet and a different charger and also by usb but nothing happens,
The only thing that seems to do something is turning off the phone and placing on charge but all that happens is it vibrates every 10-15 seconds.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Steve.

That sounds like a broken usb-port

that was my first thought but after searching google it seems fairly common and possibly software related

try another cable

when you mean it is software related, try to make a factory reset.
I know, it is not the best way, but than you can exclude a software problem.
But as first you must charge your accu nearly full, e.g. in another SGS4

Won't charge when powered on?

Hi guys,
I seem to have run into an issue yesterday, my n7 will no longer charge unless I power off, it doesn't get recognised by my PC either but bizzarely it recognises my USB otg, anybody have any ideas or is it time for an RMA?
I've tried various ROMs and kernels but without luck...

I got the battery for like 24.00.. like new but used, works like brand new though. It's easy enough to replace, the back just pops off the n7 with a little pry. While I had the back piece off, I sprung the 2 contact points up and out some so the wifi antenna got better connection. Went from 1-2 bars to nearly full across the entire house..

Battery off

Welcome in the club
It called AndroidOS Bug and Google play services Bug.
Please search for it, and you'll find the answer.

You can try the recommended solutions if you see that your accu is draining by AndroidOS.
But they are only temporally.
Sometimes Restart help, if not, clear Google play services CACHE, shut down and remove accu for short time.

I'm not sure that it is. Sometimes my battery runs out really fast, just a day
Sometimes it Lasts really well.
It's horribly unpredictable, but I don't think it's firmware. A firmware problem would be consistent.
Currently my battery is at 55% and it's been running 1 day 19 hours. Same usage as normal.

have u do a factory reset after update ? i had do a factory reset through setting but problem still occur. i will try to do factory reset in recovery mode to check whether it solve or not. btw, what is the difference between do a factory reset in setting and do it in recovery mode ? which one is better ?
No, I didn't reset it after Update, because I do it few days before. I try first the reset in settings. Bug already exists. Then I used the recovery menu, clear cache and do a factory reset. Same Bug comes few hours later back.
I read in German forum that other people do the same after the new update, but same s h i t with AndroidOS comes again.
After I read this I tried no factory reset by myself.
I don't know there is any different between booth ways to reset your device

Yes, I think the MJ7 has a bug since few weeks ago at the point, where Google is updated any f....ing Service in the Background.

okay...i never used MK2 in Germany.
I have my Note 3 since 29.08.2013 without problems! Nothing changed last 4 weeks!
Few days ago i realized the battery drain issue, because i dont use the phone, but battery goes down.
I look in the battery infomation, the AndroidOS is now on top of all Apps and Services that running the whole day
The easiest way to fix this until a new firmware is released is to disable "Use Wireless Networks" under "Location Services". This has fixed mine for the past couple of weeks. As soon as I turn it back on, battery life sucks!

In my experience this is not a solution to the bug that the OP is writing about and which makes so many people lose their mind over the ridiculous battery drain.
Tried though (because it was turned on for some reason) and will look what my battery says tomorrow morning (not charging over night).
I have a thread here helping on this issue. Cheers!

[Q] Note 3 random powers down

For about a Week my note 3 started to just power down. Sometimes it happens when I deactivate the lock screen or it might happen when Im just using my phone.
I have updated it to kitkat N9005XXUENB3_N9005OXXENB1_XEO and have tried other custom roms and it still is doing the same. PLEASE any advice would be awesome!
thanks in advance.

Try FULL wipe (Including wiping internal sd) and then reflash the ROM and see if it still continues, if it does... You might have to take the device in for servicing.
Thanks for the reply. I have triped knox so how can i take it in for a service? Could it be anything else apart from a hardware fault?? Thanks
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Still trying to find out if this is a hardware issue or softwear. Any tips guys?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Well, if it will be a real problem than you should still take it into service, maybe that guy will forget to check the knox.
I'm starting to notice that I'm not getting no power downs when the charging lead is pluged in the phone.
Might it be a battery issue? If so how much does one cost for a note 3?

I had the same problem with my n7100 a few months ago.
the problem was, that one of the 4 battery contacts was a bit dirty (dont ask how this happened :silly, so a hard (or less hard) shake of the phone could interrupt the contact for a moment and the phone restarted.
I know its unlikely, but better check it before sendind it to the service
Yes it's working fine now for a few days....got a tooth pick and cleaned the contacts and everything is all fine.
Going to order another battery for backup also.
Thanks guys.

Over heat issue

Hi guys, I bought the phone from someone with this issue. It gets hot very fast when I use it, also when in charge, so much that sometimes I can't touch it. The battery also drains very fast when it's in use. I tried every solution on Google I could find but no luck. It also won't power on without the charger being in even when battery is fully charged. I rooted it now and want to know if I install cyanogenmod Wil maybe resolve this issue? Thanks.

Have you tried upgrading the firmware to the latest version and performing a hard factory reset afterwards?
Yes I did.

That is strange as the only time my N910C uses allot of power is when I play 3D intensive games on it or use to work on heavy tasks.
Could this be the motherboard that's faulty or something?

I also got my phone second hand from a guy and my phone also gets hot when making intensive tasks. I don't usually play games. But it gets hot when using location(Tinder). Is this related to ROM. I don't think it has to do with the motherboard although you should go and see a service!! Let me know what were your results. Thanks
Yeah, I'd take it to a Samsung Service Center and let them check it out. It could be the battery cable is loose.
So a custom rom won't fix?

I also had the same issue when i first bought my phone 4 month ago but after the latest update the over heat problem is gone. Try to flash the stock rom through odin. Battery problem your facing it could be from the battery calibration try to drain out the battery let drain fully if your phone switched off by itself try to power it on again for many times as possible then charge your phone while it's switched off for 2 hrs power on your phone and charge it again for 30 min hopefully this will resolve the battery calibration issue.

You should try it out. When i a got my SM-N910F, it was a real hot headed one (on Stock 5.0.1).
After flashing a custom rom, the tempratures dropped significantly.
Currently iam running a custom kernel and undervoltet slightly. The Phone is running cool and stable.

Depends. Only in case your problem is software related. In case of an hardware defect, a custom rom won't change anything. You should monitor your GPU and CPU usage of your device. You can use apps like cpu z to measure it. When the clock speed of you CPU is constantly high even with the simplest tasks, you can consider rooting your device, flashing a custom rom/kernel and try to reduce the clock speed. This may help keeping the temperature in check but won't do anything about defective hardware.
But, as you said, this problem persists even with stock firmware (maybe the guy you bought it from flashed the wrong firmware.....) this could only have 3 reasons: 1. defective hardware, 2. defective software/wrong firmware, 3. Some of your apps in the background is going crazy (try to use better battery stats or wakelock detector for that).
Good luck.
Tried to install cyanogenmod but I get error dm vertify verification failed with reboot. I Google it and tried everything but doesn't looked like there's a fix for this. Anyone had similar issue or have a solution for this pls? Thanks.
