Anybody ever hear of this?
Started intermittently charge/stop charging.. Then just stopped.
Rebooted? Nothing.
I have an extra battery...tried that....same thing!
Finally I wiped everything and it charged again...all night (thank God... I was at 15%)
BUT....checked just a bit ago and it was intemittently charging and stopping again...now I'm back to no charging. WTF....lol.
Only other info I can offer is the that at times I've used a second nonNote android charger (meant for my hotspot device...that does output to 1.2 but I don't think that would do anything..I used it on my Galaxy 2 Touch for months.
If anyone can give any insights I'd greatly appreciate.
I cannot charge my Note at all rights now.
Have you tried a different charger and/or USB cable?
Regards,
Dave
Thanks...yeah 2 different chargers. USB...you mean charging via PC right? You know i haven't tried it believe it or not!
I'm sure i could wipe everything again and it'd work again..but...big pain!
Right now I have to wall charge the battery itself.
Hey OP, any updates on this??
After I flashed Abyss 2.5 on top of Cassie's V3 on my Note a few days ago it started doing the charge/stop status and I could ONLY charge it while off and even sometimes it was awakening it self up!! And finally it gave up to no charge at all.
As from yesterday is officially "dead" since no recovery/download mode can be entered because of low battery. "Download" mode say's too low battery and it can't download.
Hey guys I really need some help on this. NO external battery chargers are available to try and no one I know has another Note to ask to charge my battery..
What do you thing? Faulty hardware/micro-usb port or something? I'm NOT blaming anyone since it's not a widespread issue but this DID happened ONLY after flashing Abyss 2.5 from CF KKA.
Thank you for your help guys in advance. Please let's try and resurrect my NOTE!
P.S: Also I forgot to add that immediately after flashing Abyss 2.5 I lost USB functionality in any way while power on.
I also tried:
3-4 different wall sockets.
2 different working cables. Original and one SE brand. Both working on other devices.
Tried removing battery MANY times.. left from 20sec to 1-5minutes etc(despair yeah).
PLEASE any info/help would be GREATLY appreciated..

And risk of having my 2year warranty thrown because of root or custom rom which they can blame for my problem? I think otherwise.
When I manage to charge the battery I might put everything back to stock and take it for a check if the problems continue.
Btw, you response: "...Instead of asking people here..." got me thinking a bit.. It should made you think a bit too.. Why?
Because 95% of your problems can be solve from online research. Relatively speaking of course. The ONLY times I couldn't fix something by my self(speaking for electronics, but can be applied on many other different occasions) was because of soldering needs which then I have a certified friend with good soldering skills and he does the job for me..
Example: One Acer 7736Z I was repairing had a blown/dead power ic chip. I ordered it, my friend soldered it since I never messed with soldering and all good. Done.
Another example: I have a Sammy 59D550. I had some problems.. Should I every time that I have a problem find a car to transfer it to the repair center/shop or do some research online which in the end I fixed my problem with a simple firmware update..? I prefer the latter.
Please excuse the comment, I meant it in a more generalized way, not directly to you, but that "...Instead of asking people here..." got me a bit going. No offense meant.

A little update on my "situation".. Phone is charging and ALL thanks to ephestione. Also I followed the video below and did exactly on my note and it's charging as we speak..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pYcgmLhUcQ
Procedure: As it might help future visitors.
I cut a mini usb since as I have many spare.
Attached only the red(positive)/black(negative) wires to the phone's corresponding battery pin.
Forced the battery in to secure a good grip between them.
Connected the other normal USB end plug to my Note's original Samsung USD charger.
Phone is successfully charging for now.
I believe what I did was wipe all and reflash, ...and all was well.
I have found my Note and SGS2 to be pretty sensitive to chargers. What do you mean outputs to 1.2? You need it to output at least 800mah, probably 1000mah. I would expect the Note to draw more power than the SGS2 but I'm not sure. I bought a Rocket Fish (good quality usually) charger from Best Buy. It didn't even say on the box but output only 600mah and the phone acted just like you are saying.
One charger I bought from Walmart, if I plug it in the TOUCH SCREEN STOPS WORKING!! Crazy!
I have had good luck with blackberry chargers. Make sure the USB cable you use is good also. I have had some that worked great with other phones and not with Galaxy phones, even some that worked great with my SGS2 don't work so good with my Note.
wipe battery stats
i reckon you hard reset and stick to OEM batteries, and buy an external charger on ebay!
I am also having a charging problem but it is because any charger that I plug in is loose in the phone and only having it in the right position works. I have tried many different chargers but my port on the phone is just too loose. How do I get it to a Samsung repair shop? I called samsung and they told me they only fix phones that are ment for the US and my phone is an international version.

Unfortunately, Samsung does not service international note in the states. They do not train as their product is not officially sold.

So am I just out of luck getting my charging port fixed?
My note did the same thing. I took some compressed air and sprayed the micro usb charge port with it a few times. Worked like a charm. Remember if any of the pins don't make contact then it wont charge.
Know this might sound goofy but same thing happen to me.
2 things that im pretty sure in some combo, was the issue
1. USB port got dirt/debris
2. The kernel I was running. Im 99% sure this was the issue all along. I was running abyss or something like that.
Hi,
any way to accomplish this ? To be more clear, batteries will get a shorter life from the current work regime that I put them to, Unfortunately, the USB data cable of most phones also acts as a charger. I am using the phone for development, so this USB data cable is always attached to the phone and to the dev machine, thus forcing the battery to always charge, even at the slightest 1% discharge. It would be really good if I could take out the battery and still be able to run the phone.
Thank you!

i didn't know it is possible!
Some (most?) battery circuits are designed to deal with a dead or shorted battery.
The circuit is not arranged in a direct line between charger, battery, load.
Disconnecting a battery connector also disconnects the temperature-measuring thermistor.
With a NTC thermistor, it would think that the battery is ice cold.
A resistor of the correct value would fool it into believing it's a reasonable temperature.
I tried disconnecting the battery on my Nook and it wouldn't power up.
3,7V supply circuit as battery
You can supply the device with 3,7V (like the battery) from an external source. The only thing bad is that you have to attach wires to the gold plated battery slots on the device, or you can do it with small crocodile clips to avoid soldering. (better)
If you are ok with this, here is how you do it.
Take off your battery and measure voltage DC with a multimeter or voltmeter between battery leads. Now you know what your battery gives to the device. Example for 3 leads battery: you have 2 positive leads with the ground as reference (one slightly lower than the other) and the actual ground. So you have to supply with 3,7V the same leads that the battery was supplying. You can check while inserting the battery back to the device.
Hot to have the 3,7 Volts supply:
You will need 2 resistors, some capacitors, LM317 regulator, heat sink for that and a higher voltage DC power supply 6-12V.
Get and android device and go to play store. Install "Electrodroid" application. This will help you on sizing the LM317 regulator. Have in mind that this is programmable regulator, so you need 2 resistors to set the output voltage as 3,7V. LM317 is a linear voltage regulator, so it will act as uninterrupted 3,7 Volt battery. Be carefull to get a big heat sink, depending on the current you will be supplying and input voltage, also you can read this device datasheet online.
You can build this circuit on a breadboard if you are familiar with electronics or you can solder point to point the parts, or make a pcb if you can.

PMIC's pin "_DETBAT" is connected to "VF" of battery connector. Perhaps if you pull it high it'll bootup.
And btw - usually HW is fully capable of starting off USB power. The thing is that bootloader does check if battery is present and, if not, turns off the phone. Actually this is because phone, especially during bootup, can peak to much more than 500mA current, and battery is there to compensate "missing" power.
//edit:
However, in case you don't provide any power into battery pins, it might try to charge it and U607 - Switching Charger might not really like working without load. This can generate alot of noise around AFAIK so modding kernel somehow to disable charging would be good choice.

The system is powered off of Vbat - As a result, the charger MUST be active. Also, the N7000 is EASILY capable of drawing more than the maximum input current limit from Vbus, mandating extraction of power from the battery in some operating regimes.
The only way to achieve what the OP wants (total battery removal) would be with a dummy battery that had an external 4.0 volt power supply. Bad Things could happen if the device is connected to USB in this state.
However, to satisfy the OP's stated reasons for removing the battery (lots of time on USB), the likely best solution would be to disable the charging circuitry in the kernel at high states of charge. For example, one could set it up so that the charger would only be enabled when Vbat was below 4.0 volts, or when the fuel gauge SoC is below X per cent. See Ezekeel's "BLX" implementation for the Galaxy Nexus as one example of this.
thanks!

Thank you all for sharing knowledge and experiences. I have made the decision to just go for some cheap ebay replacement batteries due to some advice I got from a friend, which I am sharing below:
Do not fiddle with such a fine piece of hardware (i.e. smartphone) by attaching some exposed wirings to it. The gadget could easily slip from your hands and cause the loosely hanging wirings to short-circuit upon landing on the floor. Definitely not a good perspective.

Oh give a f***ing break! It's a phone not an egg shell. And short-circuiting the wires would at worst damage the power supply not the phone.

This just isn't true. Modern PMIC not only have the option to stop charging the battery, but to charge the phone only on AC and also do things like send power the the USB OTG. So it is a matter of the PMIC knowing what to do. What I wish was possible was a nice app that told the PMIC to stop charging at 80% and then go to trickle mode. This would save your battery life by a lot, instead it appears to charge to 100% then back off the voltage a little.
bypass battery on unibody phone and run directly from charger

This would just disable the charging until the SoC dropped to the level you set though, correct? I.e. the phone is still running from the battery..? If so you still end up with more or less the same issue (although with some potential benefits depending from cycling at lower SoC).
I have a HTC One X so removing the battery and adding some circuit trickory isn't an option. But bc of this damn unibody even more motivation to run the phone directly from the charger bc I can't feed it with replacement batteries. ( which he is right thats the best options for the OP)
Anyone know if this is even possible with software mods based on the design of the phone charging system? Or any sources for literature on this. I really wanna save this battery if its the only one I got!
I am currently experimenting with this. I suppose I can only get 3 volts from the 5V input of a usb charger. Going to need to hook up to a 12v power source I suppose. Built this power supply, linear variable voltage regulator. Going to still want that data transfer. I am using diodes to make sure no power goes the wrong way into my electrolytic capacitors. I will try to post a thread if it works because I have not seen one yet.
Hello, sorry to post in an old thread, but this is the closest problem to mine that I could find.
So I'm using a 4G mi-fi modem on my PC. It's plugged in constantly 24/7 through USB cable to my PC. You can imagine the effect on the battery. I threw out 2 batteries coz they've gone bad. Sadly the modem won't turn on if it's not detecting a battery.
So I'm considering the capacitor route, just to fool the modem into thinking that a battery is installed, the real power comes from USB data cable anyway. It's a Huawei E5577, the battery got 4 terminals on it. The outermost terminals are (+) and (-), while I'm guessing the middle two are used to read the battery status (voltage, etc). So what's the simplest schematic to achieve this, using simplest capacitor circuit to fool the modem into thinking the battery is installed and working well.
Thank you
After careful thought, I decided to return my shield tablet (so I won't be doing any dev work for it.) The tablet just isn't right for me. It has some issues, but so does every tablet/phone/etc. I'm not posting this to start bashing nvidia, etc... I just felt obligated to let people know that I've changed my mind and so won't be doing dev work for the device.
Take care

Wow. Talk about selfish. Let me guess, Apple paid you to keep developing for Samsung o_0 , wow. No one believes in charity anymore, so much for Ferguson.

Hi
Sad to hear/see a dev leave a product, but can you tell us/me why? Just wondering. I'm on the fence with regards to buying the tablet and would like to hear from someone with a more objective point of view.
Cheers and good luck with your future dev work

1. Anger at NVidia for what I feel was purposely misleading consumers about the lollipop release on the 18th (US/LTE). I know they turned a blind eye to the leaked update, but they should have disclosed the potential delay when they made the announcement.
2. While the battery life was acceptable, the charging wasn't (for me.). Even with a high amperage charger, the silly tablet would lose charge even playing simple games like "dots" or "threes."
3. I wasn't satisfied with nvidias resolution (or lack of) for the cracked edges issue. Too many customers were (and still are) experiencing the problem even after nvidia claimed it was fixed.
4. My wife asked me to stop spending money on geek toys, and I really wanted a nexus 6

Were you using the stock cable and stock charger? Some cables do not support high charge rates and even some high amperage chargers are wired for apple devices and most android devices cannot charge higher that .5amps with them.

The stock charger was worse than a computer USB port. I only use higher end USB cables, and I have various charging bricks from several different phones and other devices. The simple fact is that the charging circuit just wouldn't pull enough amperage. (None from apple, BTW). I even have 3.6 amp USB charging ports hardwired into my electrical outlets in various rooms of my house.

>The stock charger was worse than a computer USB port.
That is not right, and sounds like the power brick had a problem. Pc usb should only be providing .5 amps way less than the brick. My brick charges vastly faster than a pc usb port.
> I only use higher end USB cables
High end is only part of it, you need ones that are specifically built with thicker gauge cable.
>None from apple, BTW
It does not have to be from apple as most usb charger manufactures still follow apples charging standard. They do not do the standard for dedicated charging devices (short data pins) that most android device follow. Actually, every dedicated charger i have bought i have had to solder the data pins together for full charging.
Okay. You are assuming that I don't know my way around USB charging. The opposite is true. As well, it really makes no difference in terms of the nvidia tablet. It's gone.

With my aging Nexus 6 coming to the end of its lifespan as a daily carry device, I've been looking for other devices. Looking into the Google Pixel 3 / 3 XL or OnePlus 6T, both phones have a few issues of concern that will likely require compromise from the Pixel's lack of RAM for a flagship as well as the OP6T's lack of wireless charging. I will never understand how OnePlus has such a grudge against Qi charging as an option; simply because it is not as fast as a USB connected "Dash" charge (unsure why they won't use the standard Qualcomm quick charging spec that many devices uses) doesn't mean it isn't desirable, as I've been charging my phones predominantly via wireless Qi since the Nexus 4 days!
However, I was wondering if interested enthusiasts could remedy OnePlus' oversight with a Wireless Qi mod? After market, latest-generation Qi receivers are apparently plentiful and inexpensive (I'd worry of suspect quality in some cases) , but many seem the type to be placed on the rear of the chassis inside a case and connect to the USB plug. They can also be placed inside the phone itself, but still make the connection via the bottom USB port. While neither of these are entirely disqualifying, it would be much better if there was a way to connect the Qi receiver internally, leaving the USB port accessible. Back in the days of the earlier Galaxy devices, I can remember there used to be receivers mounted internally in certain devices - https://www.amazon.com/VILIGHT-Wire...1790504&sr=8-24&keywords=wireless+qi+receiver - is one example, thanks to the way the battery and layout of the phone is set up.
Perhaps something similar could be done for the OnePlus 6T? Does anyone know the feasibility regarding the internal layout of the 6T? If we are not lucky enough to just be able to tap into a few connections, could there be some sort of (ideally solder free) mod done with relative ease? Perhaps there is something else I'm not considering, but I assume it all hinges on the internals of the 6T.
Its insane that users should need to consider a mod in order to add such a common feature in flagship or even mid-grade phones, but if there's a relatively good chance of a mod like this it would encourage me to look closer at OnePlus this time around. Thanks.

I bought the Nillkin Type C Wireless Charging Receiver from amazon and stuck inside the case that came with the phone. I had bought another case on amazon but that one was too thick to get a QI signal to go through. The charging is ok, not the fastest tho.
I am looking at getting this. Former Nexus 6 user myself. Someone already mentioned this, but here is the amazon link:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BFCBPJ...&pd_rd_r=1a965010-e45d-11e8-bc94-f9678d2f68d0
other option:
https://www.amazon.com/Nillkin-Wireless-Charging-Receiver-Charger/dp/B01M11UT3V
I have the nillkin on my OP6. Since I always use a case, it's a non-issue to stick the charge pad inside the case.
Thank you all for the links to reliable plug-in Qi receivers; if I go with the OP6T I may end up getting one of those if there's no other alternative. User reports and feedback on Amazon suggest these are pretty delicate in how they're bent and the like, so I am curious if anyone is unplugging/replugging them (to connect to the USB port for some other reason) with reasonable frequency without issue?
I've not seen any content from "jerryrigeverything" on YouTube but I'll check it out when I'm able to do so.
The big question however is the viability of an internal Qi receiver installation that does not require plugging in via the external USB jack....
Thanks!

I've loved wireless charging on the n6. And was bummed about it missing on the 6t. But honestly battery life is so insanely good on the 6t. I mean insane! And it charges so fast, I don't feel the desire to get wireless charging anymore. I kid you not. Battery life and charging are fantastic compared to the Nexus 6.
I'm down to 38% and it's been 23 hours since I took it off the charger.
I have been using the nillkin since I got phone. I had a note 8 and used wireless exclusively. So once I got the 6t I have been doing the same. The battery life on this phone is so good I just charge once a day. I go to sleep lay it on wireless charger and wake up to 100%. No messing around with cables. It also charges just as fast as the fast wireless charging on my note 8.

QI Charging (any charging for that matter) is going to generate heat,more so on slow QI Charging.
It takes longer & there's no heat pipe/paste in the OP6T to aid in dissipating the heat. (see video teardown,FF to the 1:30 mark):
I always use a small desktop fan near my charging points at home.
I'm not a battery conserving hawk or handle my phones as if they're priceless museum pieces,but,a small fan is any easy to use solution & in cooling the phone,may actually speed up the charging process a bit.
I have a couple that have worked previously, but couldn't for the life of me get them working on my OP6. I've ordered an OP6T so hopefully will be able to get it working when it arrives.
I have a strange issue with the QI Receiver i bought from Ali express. When i put the Qi Receiver on the back of the phone and put it on a charging pad, i can see the battery percentage goes up all the way to 100% but the phone never thinks that its getting charged. I mean the charging symbol never comes up and even BBS and other Battery Monitor apps don't think its getting charged. But the percentage reaches 100. Does anyone know a solution for this issue

I've loved wireless charging on the n6. And was bummed about it missing on the 6t. But honestly battery life is so insanely good on the 6t. I mean insane! And it charges so fast, I don't feel the desire to get wireless charging anymore. I kid you not. Battery life and charging are fantastic compared to the Nexus 6.
I'm down to 38% and it's been 23 hours since I took it off the charger.

I had wireless charging on a few devices previous to my OnePlus 6t and loved it. When I'm using OOS 10.3.8 and xXx magisk rom I charge my phone once every two days and I'm a HEAVY user!! I usually get about seven hours screen on time on my 6t!!! Insane battery is right!! I do miss wireless charging though. Appreciate everyone sharing here. I may try some things out as well. If and when I do I'll return and comment about it. Cheers.
Not sure if the latest update caused issues, or its a fault on my phone.
But i have just been trying to charge my One plus5 from a normal 5v charger.
This would normally give me around >1000mA charge
But I've tried a few chargers, and different cables and all i can get now is less than 200mA.
BTW, My normal dash charger charges correctly
Any suggestion on this fault?
Would i need to do a reinstall on my phone? or could this be hardware?.
Edited to add:
coudln't charge off any other cable other than the supplied Oneplus charger cable. All other charges would give either no charge or reduced to 10% of normal mAh.
No other cable than the original could be used for data. many other cables were tried, all failed.
Thanks in advance

How did you measure it? Maybe the port isn't clean which results in lowered current. It's surely not an software issue.
I have an app called Ampere, that i have used regularly for the past couple of years and it shows the amp useage. Its actually really quite useful as you can see which of your cables are cack. (some cables have really poor connectivity)
I had also noticed that it can take literally hours to recharge now via USB (non-dash).
I updated to Marshmallow recently.. but that may be a pure coincidence..

Ampere is indeed a good app. But what do you mean with marshmallow? On op5?
Also what's with the cleaning of the port, which is the most obvious reason when you tested cables and chargers? How's your device temperature?
oops, my mistake.. not marshmallow.. Android 9, which is Pie.
The phone feels ok temperature wise, and I've given the port a good blow but I've got an air canister back home so will try that later.. good suggestion though.
but, btw, when i use my Dash charger, everything is fine. could fluff affect one and not the other?

Sure, that's possible.
Update: -
I ended up getting the USB port changed and all the issues went away.
Thought I would do an update in case anyone else has this issue.
