Hi everyone.
I have the Galaxy S4 I9505, and recently when i woke up in the morning i saw that my phone had not charged, and that the battery was dead. The micro usb port had been acting weird for a while, and would only accept the charger that i had at home, but now it wouldn't even accept that one. So i replaced the charging module hardware part with a new one, but it still won't charge, turn on or react to anything. I have tried to put in a fully charged battery (charged using external charger), but the phone still won't turn on. Any clues to why this have happened? My phone was fine before this whole ordeal, besides the charging problem that is.
Regards
Stefan

Hi.I received a xda min s in monday and after a day of use the battery is discharged so I charged the phone with computer's usb port and the charging led is switched on. When I came back I tried to turn on the phone but it seems dead ... It is on just a few times and went off immediately after the first screen.
Anyone can help me ? Thanks
Hi,
Just been through the same with mine. Thought it was the battery, so got a new one via ebay. Had the same problem, long story short, it turned out to be the usb cable, changed it and new battery charging fine. Looks like the old battery was fried as will not accept a charge any longer. The cable fault was rapidly discharging the battery, even though it indicated it was being charged. Hope that helps.
Need some feedback, any one has had a bad battery yet? I had mine charging up to 85% yesterday and went back to bed thinking that today (sunday) morning will wake up and do some early stuff but I woke up late and had a dead Streak next to me. I left it charging overnight (I know it was only 15%) but you never know when you're going to need that extra juice. I tried turning it on, no luck, took the batt out tried turning on with only the mains plugged in, no go, I had blinking LEDS for a short moment then it turned off and that was it until I decided to jump start the phone (I don't recommend doing this to no one) with a BB Bold Battery (3.7V 1500mAh) all of a sudden I get the battery with exclamation mark, like I had a dead battery, I've only had the device for 2 weeks, also this is a Beta Unit I bought "AS-IS" but the problem was a simple restore and not the battery. now I manage to charge the battery in a raw way, just hot wired into a 4.2v DC. now the big question...
I'm at 40% battery it is draining very little, I would even say it is under normal operation, but i can't tell I don't have a SIM on it ATM. but I checked on "spare parts" to see status of the battery and it all seems ok but the bit that says BATTERY STATUS: discharging
No matter where I plugged the wire it is discharging, the phone is being detected on windows/mac any computer I plug, the phone does detect where the source is coming it says AC when I plug into the charger that came with, if I plug it into the USB of the computer it does says USB but it will never say charging, I even transfered files to the phone to test the wire, seems to me I have a crappy battery but just need more feedback, anyone has had this problem before? on any phone should I call Michael Dell and order another batt?
P.S. I have a BB Javelin had the same problem did jump started the battery and now the mobile is charging no probs and it DOES hold charge.
UPDATE: Ok guys any of you running 2.1 (8105) on your USA Beta (probably regular too) and have this issue about not charging, I went back to 1.6 (4399) issue is gone, I also had the crazy screen couldn't unlock/answer phone, will see if that is gone too, more than likely it is but I'm not 100% sure.
if it wont charge using usb or mains but only by jump starting it, then the streaks charging circuit is most probably f***ed.
Hi Guy,
First post here. I looked around and could not find a solution to the problem so here we go:
So I have a U8800 X5 which I've rooted and installed Clockwork Mod and the MIUI Custom Rom.
I had been running that set up for about 3 to 4 weeks and it had been going great until recently when it started acting buggy. A few hours ago I used my phone until the battery fell to about 3% and while the phone was still on, I put it on charge.
It said "Charging" but the percentage was not increasing so I went to sleep with the phone still on charge thinking maybe it needed some time.
Now, in my sleep, the phone turned off and it will not turn back on. I have tried plugging it into another socket, charging through my pc, taking the battery out and putting it back in but every time it's the same result:
The 4 buttons at the bottom of the screen light up and the LED next to the speaker flashes red. There is NO activity WHATSOEVER on the screen itself.. I personally don't think it's charging.
Is it my battery? Is it the ROM? Is there a solution? :/
And I believe that the U8800 also works without a battery if the charger is connected (by getting power directly through the Mini-USB Cable).
It refuses to turn on when I take the battery out as well.
the same thing happened to me. it was a problem with the usb cable. i bought a new one and everything works fine again
Well, first of all try to connect it to a computer USB port with a different USB cable. If it still does not charge, then it might be that your batter is dead. OR if you're unlucky then there might be something wrong with your phone (though I don't think that. Most likely it is your battery)
You can try to connect your battery to a separate charger and see if it charges.
Hey guys, got a problem with my S4 i9506, yesterday all of the sudden its telling me that the usb cable is pluged in (message when u plug the usb), but I just surf the web without any cable attached! afterwards it started to get a little hot on the back, and later the evening, when the battery was drained, I pluged the charger and it would NOT charge! it did see the plug, the battery icon changed, but the battery were still going down! I tried another S4 battery, same thing - so its the phone. I googled the issue, cleaned the USB connections carefully, tried hard reset, tried charging from PC (the PC detects the phone, I can transfere files), so the USB port seems to be fine. the battery died comepletly, I tried do charge when its turned of, did't help, its just vibrating every second, without any display activity. I put it overnight charging, woke up this morning and it did acctually charge, but VERY slowly, and won't get higher than 20% charge.
PLZ HELP
Hi,
By battery was running low so i turned the tablet off, plugged it in and went out. When i came back i turned it on only to find that the charge was at the same level as when i left it. I first thought it was the charger, but after testing it was fine. On plugging the charger back in the battery symbol comes up and shows that it is full, before the screen goes black for a short period before the symbol comes back up again showing it is full (Im unsure if it normally does when charged as i cant remember)
I then turned the tablet back on and left it to charge. The device charged slowly, but when i checked the battery status the tablet claimed that it was NOT charging.
Im worried that when it runs down it will not charge to turn back on. On the other hand it might recognise the battery is flat and charge normally.....
Anyone got any suggestions?
Update: I left it on and plugged in overnight and it charged back up to 100%, albeit very slowly (I woke up once and checked and it had only reached 75% after about 4 hours).
So still not sure what to do. Factory reset?
Even i had the same problem
Try changing ur usb cable,
it worked for me
Stock USB cable lasted one day for me. Absolute garbage. No problems using the stock cable from my ancient HP Touchpad.

Sorry to jump on a fairly of thread, but....
Hi Barking Mad,
Did you ever get to the bottom of your particular charging issue? I've bought a TN7from ebay, and I'm having ng exactly the same problems as you described. Not really charging when turned off and the screen showing the charging symbol for a couple of seconds before going black and then showing the same symbol again. It will charge whilst turned on, albeit it very slowly.
I was just hoping you may be able to shed some light on my problem for me!
Thanks
David

make sure you use a hi capacity charger 1A plus most phone chargers are too low and will only trickle charge when the unit is off, also my four came from ebay with no power faults and I patched a QI charger inside the casing as the usb ports had failed.
I'd do that to any tn7 now as the port is just too fragile and might be needed for an emergency recovery.
