my evo will not stop charging when disconnected from charger and wont connect to comp pleas help need to fix asap
What Rom are you running ? What Recovery are you using ? What Kernel are you using ? You said it will not connect to the computer. Have you Updated HTC Sync ?
Not charging while phone is on..
Hi guys,
I am facing a very unique issue(basically i didnt find any thread which had the same problem as mine). My Evo does not charge while the phone is switched on nor can i connect it to my comp from the recovery after i mount it in usb mode. It charges properly while it is powered off. I have tried installing jellybread & mokeeos roms with tiamat kernel but they go into boot loop.
It is really inconvenient since i have to switch off the phone for it to charge. Please help.
The details of the system are below:
RoM: rooted stock rom from xda thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Evo/ROMs)
the kernel is also stock
I am using Amon Ra recovery 3.11
Please do help me out with this.
I figure its a software problem since it is charging properly when switched off.
Are you Full Root "S-off" ? Have you tried using a different charger / cable combo ?

evo charge issues
Yes, My phone is fully rooted and s-off.
also i have tried using several charger, cable combos.
When it is in fastboot, i can flash files, threre is not problem there, but when I turn on USB mode in the recovery, it does not detect on the computer.
Also It charges when off, but does not when fully switched on. 1 thing that i now noticed was that sometimes, it starts charging when switched on, and then stops after 1 minute or so.
Also the battery drains extremely quickly now. This was not the case before this happened.
It would be great if you could help me out here,

Sounds like a bad battery or bad charging port... cheapest way to test is to buy a battery from ebay or something. See what happens. If the same problem persists its a hardware issue with the port itself (which I think it is from the sounds of it). Or you can unroot it, load a stock Sense rom and go to a Sprint store to have them look at it.
You can also try cleaning the Charger port itself out. I've issues in the past with charger ports getting dirty, which causes a bad connection. But I would still defiantly try a different Battery.
thanks guys, will clean the port and also try a new battery...
will get back once i have done these...

Hi, are you still having problems with the 32B?
Does the phone start charging when you plug it in? Can your PC see it at all via USB?

It doesn't sound good
I don't know how much you care about this phone or whether you want to spend any money at all on it, but if you don't mind wasting time on a phone that's likely dead, you can try to narrow the problem down a bit.
If you have a battery tester, you can find out if the battery will hold a charge. It may be dead or damaged.
If you have any kind of battery that outputs 3.7V, you could try connecting it to the phone's +/- terminals with some wire. Most cell phone batteries are 3.7V, so it wouldn't be hard to find. Hooked up properly with a working battery, you can hook the phone to a charger or to your computer to see if it starts charging, and you can try to turn the phone on.
We're getting into the realm of miracles, so make sure to say your prayers.
Good luck.
*** Be careful with wires and batteries; don't leave the phone+battery+wires setup connected to a power source... unless you like fires.
Hello, i'am from france and i have a Samsung Galaxy Note SM-N9005.
When i try to plug the charger in phone ( Turned On), it doesnt recognize it. I tried to use it's USB 3.0 cable ( from the box) , doesnt work.
then i tried another samsung charger micro usb one, doesn't work. Then i tried to plug it in my pc, the pc doesn't recognize it.
The only way to charge it, is to turn it off... but it still have a strange way to charge.
When i plug the charger,it vibrate and then show me the grey battery, then the green one ( Normal way to show that's its charging).
After around 10 sec, it vibrate again ( like if i unplugged it) and it comes back to the grey battery, then green.... over and over...
It does this but it still charge my phone, and that's the only way i found to charge it.i dont know why it is charging when it is turned off and not when it is turned on?
Thanks in advance for your help

i have the exact same problem!!! It just started yesterday.
Do you use the original charger?
If you use a other charger with less power, the phone will not charge!
You need a 2Ah Charger.

Yes i understand, but i use the one that came with the telephone. Its the original samsung USB Cable 3.0 + the Charger.
I tried with the Charger from a Galaxy Note 2 ( usb 2.0) it still doesnt work.
It's a hardware problem.

As said is hardware issue. If your Note 3 is under warranty use it, because they will fix it. If not, go to a phone repair center and they should be able to fix it as well.
It might be the microusb from the phone, a friend of mine had something similar with his s2.Good luck!

Okey :crying:, i have to save everything on my phone before sending it back, otherwise i will lose all my data.
What is the best way to save everything on my phone ? ( I can't use my usb if my phone is turned on)
It would be nice if someone know how to do it. Thanks :fingers-crossed:

Back up your data with your backup app of choice (Helium, Titanium Backup). Throw your backup file into dropbox.
Your photos should be backed up in drop box so don't bother.
Contacts are in your Google account don't bother with that either.
So I think it's just Music and movies if you're not using Play Music.
I would use sd card for back up, that's one of the reasons it's there. I backed up contacts on my old phone to Google and then for some reason couldn't recover it on new phone, maybe I did something wrong, but had no problem loading them them up from sd card. If you really hate to send it back (I would) you could open the back (search youtube, there are few videos how to), I think it's 8 screws and check if the charging board connector is loose. I wouldn't go much past that and would make sure there are no temper proof seals to disturb.
Hello how you solved this problem? I discover exact the same problem with charging on my n9005 today.
Pretty sure this is related to the software on this, not the hardware, unless they are all broken. I have recently sent mine in for the same reason, got new note 3 had it for a week now. But before sending it in i got a new battery, new cables, nfc charger and a cradle, to rule out all the chargers as a possibility. After getting the new one it worked fine until I updated after all updates came down now it wont charge again. I found that If I remove the battery and put it back in it will start charging from time to time but currently its off and charging sort of, Keeps starting to charge for about 5 min and then stops for about 10, and keeps this cycle. If anyone else has a new one and still getting this after Updates please let me know.

Problem fixed!
I had the same EXACT problem for a couple weeks. It clearly isn't a hardware issue if the battery actually is charging when off (FYI to anyone who needs a refresher on how technology works). Clearing the system cache took 30 seconds and worked! Here is how to do it:
Turn off the Galaxy Note 3.
Press and hold Volume UP + Home + Power buttons.
When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home keys.
In the recovery menu, navigate to ‘’wipe cache partition’’ with the volume buttons.
Press power button to confirm.
Once this is done, select reboot system now.
Requesting your help!!!! pls... Super urgent

So after a lot of reading online and understanding logically that if the hardware is screwed then the phone will not charge in the first place, I followed your steps and wiped my cache. I was literally keeping my fingers crossed that this will be the end of my long haul with this problem. However, the phone did not start charging after that and the problem still persists. I strongly believe that this is a software related problem as the phone functions fine and the battery life is also as it was before. Given this, I kindly request you to tell me if there are any other solutions or ways through which I can fix this issue? Your response is most appreciated and urgent.. HELP!!

Ok, wiping the system cache worked for about 2 hours. I was a little too excited. I just replaced the charging port and so far, so good. Make sure to buy the proper charging port; each one is different per carrier (e.g., mine is a SM-N900V for Verizon, SM-N900T for T-Mobile, etc.). The charge port was $11. You can find all carriers, except Verizon, on Amazon. I googled Note 3 replacement parts and picked the most legit looking website to order mine. Good luck.
did any one found out any solution for this
i am getting same grey battery sign over and over again when plugged into charger (Wall/USB 2.0/3.0) and its not starting with battery power, last time battery was charged to 86%

Yeah, it's dead, as long as you're sure that you're doing the right thing to get into download mode.
Have you tried removing the battery, holding the keys for download mode, and replacing the battery while you keep holding the keys? Remember to let go of the power key after you feel the vibrate, or soon as you see download mode.

Battery 3.75v?
The battery is dead. Charged, it should be around 4.2v.
3.7 volts is empty.
The phone may still be broken, but you won't know unless you charge the battery lol. Has it been left unused for a while or something?
With lithium ion batteries, if you let them go completely flat then don't use them for a while, sometimes they won't charge. If this has happened and it won't charge inside the phone then you'll probably need to give it a 5 minute manual charge to 'wake it up'.
This actually happened to me the other week with a kindle. Had been left discharged for a while. Took the battery out, gave it a quick 5 minute hard wired charge, and it was fixed.

Ur phone is dead ... u have to dead boot repair by RIFF JTAG BOX
Stupid question. You have tried entering into download mode by voldown+power or by voldown+home+power?
Do you see charging light when charging?( Red led)
Have you tried changing cable?
Have you tried using other battery (already charged).
Try new battery with disconected usb/charging port from mainboard and with really good battery. if windows recognize wrong hardware its only because of bad cable or charging port.

charging port may be faulty. disconect it to ensure it is not because of that.
I had few "dead" or not charging phones with such problem which now works after change usb connector or whole port

i have my phone dead but strange action i install a rom but after odin say pass the phone reboot and don’t move away from the samsung logo i take the batterry off and try to reboot again but dont work and dont go to download mode again or charge what ur opinion pepole
I recently got a Note 3 from a friend thats purchased a Nexus 6P instead.
Reason being that his note 3 sometimes turns on but overheats and drains the battery within minutes, or it doesnt turn on at all and a weird clicking noise is heard from the speaker.
It also overheats when charging while the phone is off.
He purchased a new battery thinking thats the problem but the same problem persists, now when I got it I was thinking that maybe I can do some more troubleshooting and see if there is a way of fixing it.
Any help is appreciated.

I tried that, problem is that it doesn't turn on, the display is black and only some poping noises can be heard when battery is inserted.
I got it to power up once but it didn't take long for it to drain battery and turn off.

Try to disassemble your phone. Check motherboard. Look for symptoms of short circuit. I`ve got note 3 for 2 years. It`s easy phone to repair.

Okay so I have been experimenting a little with it.
After opening it up I could not find any evidence of water damage or short circuit.
What I have found out so far is.
1. It starts up when plugged in and charging. (after it starts up I can unplug the charger and it stays on just fine.)
2. If I turn it off it won't turn back on again unless plugged in.
3. When on it overheats even when idle and screen off.
4. When charging (even if turned off) it overheats/feels extremely warm to the touch.
5. Vibration doesn't work, but could be my my fault as I removed the motherboard, will have to open it up again and see if I missed something.
The phone has been dropped several times and has some damage although not on the screen, just the sides.
So if I can get it fully working I might just buy a new housing for it.

Flashing stock didn't help, still the same problem.
1. Won't turn on unless plugged in and charging.
2.Overheating.
Any ideas? Thinking it can be the USB port maybe, but would it overheat like that if it was just the port?
