I'm hoping someone can help me with a problem I'm having with a OEM Authentic T-Mobile Universal microUSB Battery Boost I just purchased. I bought 2 of these battery boosters from Nomorerack.com for $13.00. I figured what the hell, they should at least give me a 50% boost when I need it. The problem is after I fully charge the booster and connect it, the phone has a vibrating pulse. You can count: 1, 2, pulse, 1, 2, pulse, 1, 2, pulse, etc. When I go to "settings" and check "battery" under the General tab, it changes from "charging" to "not charging" in the same rythym pulse.
The specs are:
Slim and portable design
Compatible with most micro-USB devices
Input: 5v/500 mA
Output: 5v/1A
Capacity: 1700 mAh

I'm hoping its a setting or an app that's causes this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
You wouldn't have volt meter to somehow measure the actual voltage this thing is outputting, would you? Fully charged note 3 battery is at about 4.2 v, if that thing doesn't have sufficiently higher voltage, it won't charge. Once I bought this cheap USB car adapter, it wasn't outputting enough power, so the phone would start charging, the load would drop the input voltage to lower level, the phone would stop charging, the input voltage would go up and it would start charging, until the voltage would drop again and etc. etc.
Try charging when the battery on your Note is low , like 5-10%, it may work then.
No I don't have a volt meter. I'm going to check if there's an app that can measure charging voltage on the phone. Funny thing is that my niece has a Galaxy S2 and this charger works fine on her phone. She has a 2600mah portable charger and I hooked it up to my Note 3 and it worked fine. So I'm puzzled as to why the 1700mah won't work, unless like you say its just not powerful enough. Do you happen to know of any voltage apps that work with the Note 3?

Lol Yes I do See I Demo my phones Everyday for customers So its a must I keep them charged So the Ted Baker is Just right it will also charge laptops Fyi..
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..

Panic over, phone is charging as it should..
I just got my new N4 and I placed it on my charger (not the one that came with the phone) overnight. I just checked the battery and it is sitting at 99% so I checked the battery chart and saw a weird thing. It says it has been turned on for just under 7 hrs (which is not true, it has been on for over 18 hrs) and that it only has been on the charger for over 2 hrs (again this is false, it has been charging for about 7 or 8). Plus the chart shows surges of use that quickly drain the battery while I was sleeping.
Does anyone know wtf went on? I will be switching to the provided charger but I have been using this charger for over a year with my Galaxy S2 without issues.
This is on the latest CM10.1 nightly, also.
Thanks.

According to this picture you are not using stock rom.

Plug/unplug several times the cable off of the charger. Check in battery setting, charging is through AC and not USB.
If that weird thing keeps appearing, try a different standard charger and check.

What do you mean "Check in battery setting" ... not sure I've seen that before. But I was using an old Blackberry MicroUSB AC charger, not a USB cable connected to an AC->USB connector like what is included with the phone.
Settings -> Battery
and when it plugged in it will say either charging (AC) or charging (USB)
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

Has anyone tried what's happening if you charge your Xperia Z2 from two sources at the same time ?
I mean one charger through USB port and another one through magnetic port. That can be interesting to find out, it may crack your phone or it may charge faster, what do you think ?

ive tried it i dont think it made any difference to the charging time
but i never really timed it
I think that phone has some kind of protection against charging it like that and it will charge from only one source.
Other thing is that the faster charging is the more battery degenerates. I wouldn't use neither this method nor 3A chargers since it's not easy to change our batteries.

It wont charge faster. According to my research it picks one source to get charged with.
Also that's unhealthy for the device and should be avoided at all times.
Note: Do not try to connect the magnetic charger upside down or you're going to burn one diode and the device won't charge with MicroUSB unless you replace it's mobo.
Some good tips right there, thanks guys, I will keep that in mind.
