My battery was dead so i wanted to charge it.
But i can't get it to charge anymore and show the charge logo or anything on the display.
I tried normal power button
power button + up or down control key
I had it plugged in now for 5 hours...
Any ideas what it could be?
Sure it ain't your charger? Did you try using different chargers?
Try turning the phone off, then plugging in different chargers while it's off to see if the charging display pops up.

The problem is, i don't have the original charger anymore.
Today i tried with the htc charger and a normal usb-cable with iphone adapter.
Both didn't work.
I additionally tried charging on computer (usb) or direct power source.
I will try another charger.

If you have access to a wireless charger, try that. If i remember correctly, it activates a different charging circuit that can help revive a phone when plugging it in won't.
I unfortunately don't have a wireless-Charger
Yesterday i tried with the Nexus 5 Charger. Didn't work either.
The smartphone doesn't even get warmer. So I think it does nothing...
Maybe try to clear the usb port better?
Habe a lookat the USB port, i Gad the case once, that one oft the 4 contacts oft the port peeled off and wasnt able to connect anything. I was able to put it back in its Position using some time and steady Hands and a microscope
Second, for some people it helps to completely disconnect and reconnect the battery.

try wireless charging if u can lay your hands on it
if no other option mentioned above works,then try to dissemble your phone using various guides available(@ur own risk)
n try to see manually if your battery is showing a voltage change while charging..
hit thanks if this helps u
Update
Wireless Charging isn't a solution for me.
But!
The Phone did some weird things yesterday.
I plugged it in for several hours.
After one hour, the notification led blinked red a couple of times, then the screen came up with the symbol that it is charging.
Then it went black again.
Unfotunately nothing more possible.
The back was getting warm, so i think the battery was definitely charging.
Any ideas?

Totally stock (but i don't think it matters).
Plug the phone in, orange LED comes on.
Hold it or place in on the counter five seconds later, LED is off.
Had the phone since 6/4.
Anyone else having issues?
Are you using the AC charger ? I have two Evos and one of the chargers does what you are describing. The orange LED comes on and then goes off after a while and the phone stops charging. Does it on both phones, the other charger works fine with both usb cables.
Are you using the USB charger with a computer or laptop or plugging straight into the wall with an AC charger?
This does make a difference because if you are charging with a USB + laptop combination you could be suffering from the computer going to sleep and disabling the USB ports power to conserve laptop battery life. If you are having the issue when plugging into the wall, try plugging into a computer and selecting the "Charge Only" option when your USB debug comes up. Once it does this, allow it to charge for a period of time and then turn the phone off, switch to AC power plug and see what happens.
Perhaps you had some kind of over voltage spike on the charger through the AC plug. I could see it possibly tripping something in the phone to stop taking charge to protect the handset.
Also make sure if you do use a laptop, use a USB 2.0 or better port. More power and faster connection. Gotta love it.
Your charger may not be sourcing enough current anymore (for whatever reason). I have seen the exact same behavior with USB car chargers that were only sourcing 100-150mA.
Have you tried plugging the USB cable into a modern desktop PC? (Some laptops have reduced current ports, so a desktop is a safer bet)
Its definitely a current issue. I tried to charge my phone using my bluetooth headset's wall charger, but I got the behavior you are describing. The bluetooth headset's charger just doesnt put out enough current.
Are you using the charger that came with the phone? if so, you may want to exchange the charger...
im having the same problem when i connect it to my desktop, it sees it for about 2 secs n then disappears. My computer at work has no problem seeing the phone. i wonder if i need a driver or something for my usb ports, anyone have any ideas??

Probably not a driver issue, but that that rail from the power supply is either undervolted (say 4.6V instead of 5V), or can't provide enough current (amperage) or both. If I recall correctly, the Evo needs 5V @ 1A (+/- 3% tolerance).
Phone not charging
my phone has been charging fine since I got it... even been using the night desk clock app while sleeping at night for the alarm with it plugged in... everything was good...
With my phone about to die today, I plug it in to the wall charger, the led/batter indicator shows that it is charging... then POW.. it says I have a low battery and it needs to be plugged in... WTH??? it is plugged in!
The only thing I did today was flash the new boot.img for the cap fix over in Toast's thread...
Weird thing now is that I took my hero battery and put it in my EVO, plugged it into wall charger, and it stays charging... So, I put my EVO battery in my hero, plugged it in, and whola... it's now charging...
Please help as I am baffled.

that's your problem right there. that custom kernel is known to have charging issues.
I'm having the same issue with my car charger consistently. Plus my AC charger less consistently. For example, I'll go to bed and plug it in, the next morning I wake up and see the phone is at 80% charge and isn't charging. At some point over night, it gave up. This is with the stock charger too.
Hi Folks,
My HTC HD2 Android not getting charged either by a wall charger or usb via my pc... i dont what happened suddenly it got turned off due to low battery and when i pluged it for chrging its not showing orange LED notification of charging. when its off and plugged in Orange LED blinked once and Phone got switched on. And when its connected to PC for abt 3 mins it will show charging and after that it shows discharging and battery drains when it shows it discharging . pls help me out coz i dont want to loose my Leo .
Thanx in advance,,,,
Check the pins at the phone which connects to the battery. Sometimes they are deformed and this cause the charging/not charging problem.
But... in this case I don't think this is the problem, because this problem should not affect direct charging from usb cable.
Anyway check them just for sure!
Thanks VDodi

so if your phone dies how do you get it to charge?

Best way is not to let it run out
However, normally it will have enough charge left once it dies to boot up far enough to start charging. If this is not the case, then you have to cut open a USB cable and use the red and black wires to charge the battery. I have not had to do this and am unsure as to how to do it but there are tutorials. It seems simple enough.

Consider, as was previously suggested, a cable connection issue.
While you do not currently have the luxury of looking at your status icons, I have found that, on occasion, when I plugged in the phone to charge, the status icon indicated a USB connection, rather than a charging icon. Unplugging the cable and re-inserting the cable fixed it.
Note that new high quality cables can exhibit the same issue.
You have nothing to lose... Give it a shot.
Good luck.

Take out battery, plug chopped up USB cable into wall charger, use fingers to hold red to + black to -, count to twenty, battery in phone, phone into bootloader, real charger cable into phone and wall charger, leave 10 mins, reboot into android. (Can charge all the way in bootloader, but it seems slower than when android is running.)

By 'tutorials on how to do this' I basically meant your posts
As previously said if you're using magldr you need to be booted into Android before the phone will charge. You can try to warm the battery up in your hands to squeeze the last bit of power out of it to boot up. Or there are standalone hd2 battery charges you can buy from eBay that charge your battery outside of the phone, they're pretty cheap.

As Samuel said you can charge phone in bootloader. Just try!
Had to buy external charger
item # M00366 this charger was cheap has led's that change from red to blue as the battery charges and has a usb port so you can charge a battery in phone at the same time.
I'd been alternating tween an extended battery and the original when my HD2 started discharging while plugged in. same batteries and nearly a year of typhoon's excellent ROM progression then wham dead batteries....
I usually charge my phone using USB while in the office. At home, I'll use the supplied wall AC adapter.
I've noticed that even though I'm using the AC charger, the stock battery display will show Charging (USB), which is not the case. Power cycling the AC charger usually fixes it to show Charging (AC).
Have also noticed that in some instances when it's plugged into the AC charger, the charging status would switch between "charging" and "not charging". Very obvious in the notification battery icon, where I would see the lightning symbol appear and disappear, about every half second.
I think there's an issue with the AC charger, or maybe it's the charging circuit in the phone?
Anyone experienced something like this before?
Cheers

Sounds like a hardware issue. If you want to run the test yourself, you can try swapping the charger with another OEM Nexus 4 charger (don't try to get around this). But I'd contact Google about this if I were you.
Might be the stock charger if thats what your using i had the same prob and sometimes but battery would either stay on the same percent for a while or go down so chanhed the charger and its been working fine ever since i still use the stock box charger i just changed the cord
NEXUS⁴

i had similar issue..when plugged it shows charging/discharging..if charging it will be slow as hell..swap cable all good..
throw away the original cable try a different one..
Thanks. Will give it a shot and see how it goes.
Do you guys think this is a charging issue? Temp is very high but still continues to charge at AC level. I have switched out my power bricks and cable but still have the same result.

It is due to temperature I believe. I have observed this behavior closely for a long time, so I'm almost certain this is the cause. I've seen it on the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 7. I can't tell you offhand the exact temperature they stop charging at, but I can tell you it's most likely between 50°-60° Celsius. You've got to let your devices cool off. It may be a pain, but it protects your hardware, so when it stops charging, your phone is saying "Hey partner, you think you could let me cool down for just a second? Is that too much for you or what? What's your problem, you dingdong?"..
... Or something like that. If that's not exactly what it says, it's very close.

Ah I see. Anyways, I have used my cousins nexus 4 and every time the temp goes over 38 degrees, the charge rate drops down to USB. Mainly why I asked haha. Yah its a pain from time to time LOl

Same here. Worked out for me it was a dodgy cable. Using the supplied cable through a laptop, I will also from time to time get the plugged/unplugged notification on the computer, which being audible made me realize how often it was happening.
The supplied charger brick now seems to work flawlessly with a different cable (ie, always says AC, no odd charging/not charging behaviour, etc).
Try that and see how you go.
I guess it's the cable. I've tried using a generic ebay cable and it appears to be working fine now.
What sort of mA values are you getting when using the stock AC charger?
Battery Monitor widget says that the phone's only getting around 500mA when I believe it should be getting more than that. I've enabled the USB fastcharge in the options. and have left everything at default. This is after waking up the phone from standby. Keeping the screen on drops the charge rate to 200mA thereabouts.
No music playing, 3G and connected to a wifi access point.
I just got my Note 3 working thanks to this group. When I first got it, it was without a battery and was locked by PIN. I was able to wipe it to factory conditions, but now it will not charge. It charged right away when I first got a replacement (OEM) battery, but then, I did the system factory reset, and now it will not charge. I am using a USB 3.0 cable and connecting this to my Apple charger I got with my iPhone 6 as I don't have a specific charger that might have come with the Note 3...just a generic USB 3.0 cable and the iPhone 6 charger that the USB cable plugs into. Any thoughts for me to try?
Try plugging the cable into a computer. It might not charge fast but it will let u know if it will charge or not. Iphone charger might not be compatible so battery will not charge.

I have tried using the computer and that is part of my confusion...the phone will indicate it is charging...but it doesn't. I get the same indication whether I am using the computer with USB 3.0 cable, or using various wall charger pods with the same cable. It will show the charging symbol (lightning bolt) or, if turned off, but plugged in, it will show the upflowing green drops rising toward the battery. So, it seems to indicate it is charging, but the charge percentage never increases...only drops.

It's not unheard of for a brand new battery to be defective. If you know someone else with a Note 3...try swapping batteries with then and see if the problem moves with the battery.
There is nothing in a factory refresh that would effect the charging circuit.

Hello Experts!
I left my S8 (SM-G950F) overnight for charging, I checked the phone at 5am it was fine when I switched off the Alarm clock and left it again for charging, but when i wake-up it was off and not turning on, i have tried safe mode restart by pressing the volume down + power key for up-to 40 seconds also tried to start into boot / recovery mode by pressing vol up+power+bexby button but it seems nothing happening?
Now when I plug it back to charge nothing on screen, no charging light or any other sign but i feel that the area above the back camera is getting warmer after a while but yet its not powering up when i try to.
I have the Original wall charger and cable, though i have tried another wall charged and another cable and tried to plugged it in the charger for around 10 to 15 mins but yet the same with no luck.
Any help in this regards will be highly appreciated.
Thanks a million in advance.
Regards.

Thank you for your input, I will look for the wireless charger and will try to charge using wireless charger, But yet i have a question, for wireless charger, do I just need to put the phone over the wireless charger and the charging will start itself or do i need to do any other steps when I place it above the wireless charger?
Also, you said to use Wired and Wireless charger both, i have tried two wall chargers with two cables with no luck, so is there anyway i can try with the wall charger for specific time or what??
Also, I just noticed the charger pin which goes into the charging base are the same from both the sides, so is that okay if I plug it upside down as the cable can be plugged from both the sides without any issue, so is that fine or do i have to put the logo side up towards the screen side? and what if thats not the same, do you think plugging it upside down may cause any issue can do any damages to the phone?
Many thanks again for your time and suggestions.

L thCable direction does not matter type c is universal wireless starts automatically. What I have seen work in the past is place it on the wireless charger then plug in usb and leave both plugged together.
You might also try holding the download mode button combo for upto 30 sec maybe it is frozen
volume down power and bixby.
Sometimes Samsung's freeze and need a battery disconnect. Obviously we can't just do that on these.
My kids tab Es do it all the time. Have to separate the screens. So I can disconnect the batteries
