I suddenly woke up to my Note 3 saying it's charging, but it's not. Slowly the battery is decreasing, but it still says it's charging. I'm not using the factory Note 3 charger. I'm using my Motorola factory charger and it's been fine until now.
What sd card are you using? I am having issues with my note 3 that seem to be tied back to the SanDisk ultra card. Minor issues are still present with another brand and issues are absent with no sd card. "Battling" with Samsung support right now.

I know it's SanDisk, but that's all.
That could be your issue. My original note 3 cooked while charging with that sd card. Having major heat issue with replacement now too. Hopefully the new sd card solves this since Samsung is being no help. They want me to send in my phone so they can "evaluate" it for two weeks while I twiddle my thumbs with no phone.

It could be draining faster than it can charge. Try the N3 charger to see if it will charge faster... It will at least keep the phone going.

I had the same problem about a week ago try different chargers .if that doesn't work . you need to change the port
Ever since going to KK, my phone says it to use the factory charger. Says this even when I am using it. I went back to stock MJE and it stopped. Went back to KK and a week later the errors are back. I am going to go back to MJE and root it and see if they stop for good.

I think it's just not using the factory charger. It charged a couple percent if I left it on my computer, but it was extremely slow. I ordered an OEM off of eBay and hopefully it's here soon.
Okay so I got the new charger and still getting the same result. Any Ideas?

How did you get it to flash back to MJE?. I'm getting that same error message despite always using the factory charger; anyway- Odin won't recognize it when hooked up to the computer either.
In the meantime, I've ordered a wireless charger so I can at least keep using it.

Bad battery?
Make sure whatever AC adapter you're using can output at least 2/2.1amps, if it cant its gonna charge really slow. Thats the only reason, SD card wouldn't have anything to do with charging. If still not working you've damaged your battery and need a new one
Sounds like your usb port could have gone bad. You can buy a new one on ebay for cheap and do your own port swap which is simple. You can look it up on YouTube make sure you get port for your your device. Make sure to use the orginal charger for your device yoh could do damage to your battery, port, or device itself if you dont use original charger. It will happen damage over time if charger has similar specs. Faster if chargers specs are off.

If people just let their phones charge undisturbed overnight and tried the next day to boot, that number would be -80%..

That would brick basically any phone. You don't play around with flashing the bootloader unless you're sure.
Got the red light once while doing benchmarks.. But i was able to get into bootloader mode reflash system img.And bam i was good to go..
Dang man, this same problem is happening to the LG Optimus G. There is a thread on xda for that phone and the op says to take the back cover off, disconnect the battery then reconnect it and that fixes it. Maybe worth a shot on the nexus.?? That is if you don't want to reflash the phone.

Holy crap. It's literally IN THIS THREAD.
Leave it on your charger for several hours and see if it boots. If not, it's probably RMA time.
It's plugged for about 10 hours and nothing.
I live in Brazil, no sells here yet and it was bought on USA.

I was just mentioning other options just in case someone couldn't get into the bootloader. What if you send the phone to lg because you couldn't get into the bootloader to reflash and they can by disconnecting the battery and find out that you are unlocked and rooted when the phone boots back up, which would also void your warranty. Although I would not take the back cover off if the phone was stock, might as well send the phone back if you can't get it to boot.

You seem to know very little about how chargers, batteries and charging circuitry works. To put your mind at ease, a USB 2.0 port is rated at 5V DC, 500mA. That will charge a Nexus 4, albeit slowly. Your 0.7A charger isn't going to fry anything, as there are multiple safeties built in, unless something is SEVERELY wrong with it, meaning faulty construction.

So you are telling me that, unless there is any issue with the charger (faulty construction) there is no reason to worry about that it will lead to this "Red light of death" or any other issue (lowering battery lifetime for example)?
This is totally off topic but, Do you (personally) think it's true what people say that charging a cellphone with a lower output charger increases its battery service?
Quick question:
Does this red light issue appear when battery is drain to 0% (among other factors)

There is no reason to worry unless the charger or your phone is faulty, in other words, hardware failure on either side. Unfortunately there would be no easy to foresee that.
The charging circuitry will only use what it needs to do it's job. As long as the voltage is within range and the current is not too LOW, you're OK. The N4 is rated at 900 mA to perform a standard charge. It will accept as low as approx. 500 mA to charge in USB mode. That idea is rubbish.
I somewhat recently got an AT&T Galaxy S4 and it was working great, until I went to charge it. It seems that most of the time, when I plug my phone in to charge at night, it stops charging after about 10 minutes. I am already asleep by this time so when I wake up, I'll have like 40% battery left.
I have tried different chargers, cables, sockets, just not a new battery.
Any tips to try before buying a new battery to test? Also, what's a good slim battery for a general user?

Yeah... well i mean it may not be the same issue I had but it's better safe than sorry, you know? The warranty is still valid, so might as well take advantage of it.
But in your case, at least it's charging and you're maintaining some sort of usable phone. Mine was dead for 2 whole days.
I would go ahead and call today because they ship Next Business Day. Meaning you'd get it tomorrow (if it's not too late). I had to wait 2 days because of the 4th of July.

I realize this isn't exactly a useful answer, but I've always noticed a slow charge with mine. Now on 4.3 it's even worse. Maybe it's just the norm.
Does anyone else think so?
Dont think so. Mine is charging w/o any issue. It should be the problem with the mini-usb socket on your N7 rather than 4.3.
what an usual charging time should be? I mean wall charger, all stock?

I was flashing the unified kk firmware that JasmineRom has put out and during the flash I knocked the usb cable out and the phone will no longer turn on.
Yes I have tried multiple chargers and one other battery to be sure.
I have ordered a usb jib in hopes that will work, I'll find that out on tuesday if you don't have any other suggestions.
And if worse comes to worse, I'll be forced to send it to a JTAG place and spend 70 or so bucks to have them fix it...

My phone is two months old and has ceased to quick-charge. Actually, 90% of the time, it will only charge when powered down. I use the factory charger and cable but get a message that I need to use the original charger and cable. Catch 22?
I bought it at Best Buy so I took it back to them this evening. My charger is fine as is my cable. Best Buy confirmed that my issue is a factory defect and politely sent me on my way. I take care of my phones if nothing more than the fact that I've had to replace micro USB ports in the past. The weird thing is that when it charges powered down, it seems to refresh to full battery very quickly.
Has anyone else had similar issues? If in fact, I do have to deal with ZTE, what has been members experience?
Thank you for letting me vent.

U can test your charger using USB volt amp reader on another phone which supports quick charging.
If charger works as it should then u need to test your phone with multimeter to see how much current it draws while phone is powered off without charger (battery only).
But that means you need to open 2 month old phone which i dont recommend if u have warranty.
Axon 7 draws about 2.66-2.68 amps while in quick charging mode. Volts i forgot but i think it was 6v. I'm not in shop at the moment so i cant know exactly.
But for amps i remembered.
Wallor77, thank you for your reply. My charger is in good working order. In fact, I have several 2.0 and 3.0 chargers. They all work fine on my Samsung Galaxy Note Edge. The Samsung displays "Fast Charger Connected" on the lock screen.
Now my ZTE Axon 7 will not charge while it is powered up. As soon as I turn it off, it charges just fine. This is really annoying!
Sent from my ZTE A2017U using XDA-Developers Legacy app
If your charger and cable are OK, perhaps have you recently installed an application which limits the power. Such methods exists in some antivírus to preserve the health of the battery. It's just an idea.

Same thing there. If it charges normally while power off u need to see how much amps. USB volt amp reader is a good little device. I recommend for everyone to get one. It cost about 15 bucks. From there it's all about elemination process to diagnose proper issue

I second this. But $15?! You can get them for about $5 on aliexpress!
U have USB volt amp reader with both volt units, amp units, time duration and mAh over time charged value. But 15$ was about avarage price listing. I'm sure there is cheaper as well.
UPDATE: 6/2/17
I ended up sending my phone to the ZTE repair center in TX. It took about 3 weeks to get it back. There was no explanation of what was repaired and I received my original phone; not a refurbished one. All I know was that it was covered.

I am in the process of returning my 3rd Axon to ZTE. 2 of them have had this problem. It's definitely known because when I was talking to them and told them what was happening they just kind went "yeah ok" and fast tracked the whole thing. Thank god for this warranty, their quality control is ****e.

Last night, mine started doing this. It goes on and off about every two seconds. What's weird is it only does this with the quick charger. it slow charges when connected to a PC usb just fine. Its not the OEM charger either since my wife's quick charges just fine with the exact same charger.
Guess I'm going to have to call ZTE....
Mine suddenly stopped quick charging - I have 3 different chargers that work fine with other phones except for this one. And chances of all 3 of them going bad at the same time are slim to none. Tested different cables as well, but again same result. It charges with normal speed even when connected to QC3.0. Tried wiping cache. I think it's no different if I turn the phone off. Think it might be time to move on. Had it since December 2016, so I guess it's nearly 2 years old now. Still shame.

Quick update. Swapping batteries (OEM) hasn't helped. I wonder if this is software or hardware related
Let me add to this thread. I'm also not getting quick charge anymore for maybe a month already. Tried different cables, booting to safe mode, etc. There are few instances where i see quick charging but very rarely. I was thinking it's my usb port but I haven't opened my phone yet to verify.
