im down to 13%, i did a full reset.
i have it turned off currently, it shows a charger is plugged in for about 2 seconds and then that one is not plugged in. i have tried about 5 different chargers now.
anyone else have this? any ideas?
it is at&t stock. never rooted or rommed
i have removed the sim and sd-card.
could it be the battery?
i still have it turned off and plugged in. it had a quick flash of a red battery.
It's been charging for about 30 minutes turned off, powered it up, is taking a charge, just slowly. I think it's a bad battery. I work for att, I'll swap the battery out tomorrow and report if it was a bad battery or not so if others have this issue they will know what's wrong.
OK, went and got a new battery and it did not fix it.
Anyone got any ideas?
I just factory reset it as well, so to recap,
Factory reset, and new battery, 6 different chargers tried. Im assuming bad phone unfixable by me.
Are you rooted?

no
same problem
got the unbranded version in the Netherlands. No special stuff going on (i.e. no root or exotic cables/chargers)
had this a couple of days earlier but after removing the battery, swapping wall outlets, (several) Usb2 and usb3 cables it started charging again. I don't know what set it off to start charging again
with the phone on, it did display in the status bar that is was charging, just the battery didn't fill up. So it did recognize the fact that there was power coming through the cable
before it started charging, when the phone was turned off and i put the cable in it, the phone started vibrating with intervals and a line appeared on the screen at longer intervals.
after turning the phone off, the charging led indicator did not burn even though the charging cable was connected
since i've been able to recharge it a couple of times since, i thought it was an one-off freak incident
Just now the problem came back and i'm going through all the stupid things described above: pulling out batteries, switching chargers, blowing down the connecor in case some dust or something else was blocking the pins.
No luck so far.
suggestions are welcome
This happened to my exynos version (India ) yesterday. I remember charging through my laptop before this happened. Strangely after i reconnected it to power it would not charge though the charging icon was showing up. After sometime somehow it started charging again. This has never happened before and I am not sure what's wrong. If this continues I am done with Samsung.
Sad to say I'm having the same issue on my week old Note 3.
It charged fine for the first few days but now I've determined that I have to put slight pressure on the cable to maintain a charging state. Basically if the phone is face down, I have to press down slightly on the USB3.0 connector.
Since I've rooted and flashed I'm not too keen on taking the new phone in for service so I've ordered another cable to test.
I read on another forum that people were having problems charging with the original OEM cable but no problems with USB2.0 cables and replacement USB3.0 cables. Hope that's the case, but it seems to me that the charging port may be bad.
Mine doesn't charge at all via computer when the screen is on (it shows charging, but the charge goes down), only through wall charger...wtf is going on?
If the phone barely charges or not at all when turned on, yet it still detects a charge, there's something running that drains more power than is being supplied. Start by checking active apps.
I had this on the IC Amsterdam - Berlin when I was playing a game, it kept going down at full rate even with the charger connected (The DB has powersockets in their trains, the thing the NS is too cheap to do.). Turned out the game was still running in the background even though I had quit it.
Force-quit everything non-critical in running applications and voila, it started charging. Slowly, but it did.
Another thing that bears relevance to mention is that sometimes there's not enough charge coming through a socket, usually when there's already too many devices on a single group or the socket is limited (like in trains, campsites, planes...)

im having the same problem. im startint to think its is an issue with the usb socket on the phone.
I read some where that if you let the phone go completely flat and then let the phone charge without turning it back on it (just leave it on the sceen with the battery charging icon). I've tried and this seems to help (I only did this yesterday and pluged the phone in again after some use this morning and its charging again).
But I think there is an underlying issue with the hardware sometime my phone indicates that it has connected to dock when this isn't the case, only for a second but I think with the problems charging and the issue with the false dock connection would suggest that there is something wrong with the usb port itself.
Im probably going to take mine in for repair.
mines completly stock. no root etc

This usually happens when there are metalic particles in the USB port.
Have you tried cleaning it with a needle/toothpick? Dont forget under the USB pin.

Thanks, I had a close look for any sort of dirt/conductive sort of material but it seems to be clear.
I keep the phone in a case which protects the ports and keep everything as clean as possible. The phone is only a couple of weeks old so it's still quite fresh.
But i know what you mean the usb terminals are small it would only take a small bit of something to cause a problem.

This might sound crazy, but try this... Drop your phone from a height of about 2 feet onto probably a hard foam or soft wood or that kinda thing.. Drop it on it's back of course. Anyways, 2 Feet is a very short drop for phone to get damaged. Just try.

Had a similar problem recently. Phone just wouldnt hold a charger longer than around 60 minutes.
I was able to take my phone back into the store and get a replacement. It was only 2 weeks old.
Try that
is there a way you can reset the battery as you do when in root?

Apart from the fact that it would take me longer to calculate how much 2 feet is than it takes for the phone to fall, I think I can speak for most people here when I say I'm rather hesitant to let a 700 euro/1200 dollar phone fall off anything.
The idea alone is rather disconcerting...
You could just as well give it a good whack with your flat palm, as the idea is to jar the wiring into place.
'Apply blunt force', One of the more classic troubleshooting approaches. No longer advisable these days, technology is ever so much more fragile than it was in the days of Nokias that could be used to commit murder by means of blunt force trauma and tv's that could electrocute you just by looking at it.

Mate 2 feet is like 2 notebooks high, or 1 closed laptop high. And it's not falling of something, it's likee playfully dropping ur phone. But of course! You shouldn't try it if you don't want to, ok?
And I don't know where you guys buy your phones or what the currency situation is in your countries, but I got my phone for $700 (510 euros) in my country on release day. Which includes 2 years ADH warranty and 2 years regular warranty. :victory:

1000USD+ is very normal for a smartphone in the EU. Long live the Euro... NOT.
The price is still 678euro in the Netherlands (which they make look less cheap by fooling everyone into thinking the price is 578, which it actually is with 100 euro cashback after you buy it... And of course they all fall for it, some even use it as arguments )...
The Note 3 was 750 Euro in the Netherlands (699 Germany where I got it) upon release day, a whopping 1400USD in the exhange ratings at that time. 'So buy it here/there/whereever and have it shipped' (I've had this discussion a thousand times with all those americans) No, there was no regionlock away or even root at that time yet.
All electronic prices are ridiculously, pointlessly high here.
Would that be a 17.3" or 15" laptop? Horizontal or vertical?

Oh well! Bad for you guys! I bought my S4 for $650, sold it $500 after 5 months of use! Then didn't hesitate in spending $700 on the Note 3
2 feet is 0.6096 meters. I said a closed laptop. Not opened. And it's not like its a sure/known fix.. I just said try...
Yesterday when I was charging my one week old Note 3 I noticed it stopped charging in the middle of a charge (the red constant LED started flashing).
I turned the phone off, took out the battery. Turn on charging but did not restart the phone.
Early this morning I got up and the battery was completely drained with no LED indication on the phone.
THE PHONE IS DEAD.
I've tried my old charger to my SGS2, charging via computer, nothing. It wont charge.
Since I've already installed CF-root and CWM recovery i guess my warranty is void, so I'm REALLY DESPERATE right now...!
Perhaps it is simply the battery that has died ?
I know the NFC is in he battery so perhaps its fried itself somehow?
If you haven't got a warranty still maybe just buy another battery (make sure it's original for the NFC)
If the phone is having an issue with charging you could pick up a new battery and the separate USB charger.
I bought the Samsung USB charger and it took about 2 weeks to come from South Korea to Perth, Australia (everything takes longer to get delivered to Perth).
Oh yeh I bought the charger and phone separately as it worked out cheaper...
You may even be able to pick one up locally ?

Well, I don't know if it's related, but I used NFC when connected my Galaxy Gear for the first time yesterday..
That sounds like too much of a coincidence... maybe it did fry itself? or it was faulty to begin with.
I'd grab a spare battery and charger and if that works I'd take the old battery back and say you want a replacement under warrant. I doubt there's a Knox trigger for the battery
Let us know how you go, it may help someone else later down the track.

Yes, I'll try with a new battery. I just measured the current voltage with a multimeter and it says 2.78V in the battery...
I'll post as soon as I get some news, and please, any other suggestions it's highly appreciated!
I'd try a secondary battery also, and a different charger with it, maybe your power at home spiked and fried it. Maybe it is the NFC issue.
As for warranty, can't really see Samsung (notorious for bad batteries lately!! swelling, and S4 issues) not replacing it even if it has a custom recovery on it. Custom recovery doesn't mess up power wattage unless your changed your CPU Voltage.
did you do anything to the usb charging port? 2 years ago I was cleaning my Note 1 and I sprayed the pressured air from can into the usb charging port on the bottom of the phone. (stupid idea) The air when let out of can has little bit of moisture in it and it got into the phone and damaged the charging module. ( together with microphone)
I was experiencing exactly the same problem as you described, battery died overnight, I was not able to charge the phone at all and I had to replace the whole charging module and month later even the motherboard. Very costly cleaning....
I had a similar issue with a S3, at first the phone refused to charge with the supplied cable, so, I used a sony cable, that worked fine for 2 or 3 months, then, the charging time began to incresse, at last it wouldnt charge, ans eventually the phone ran out of juice, I had my S3 rooted, cwm and cooked rom, took it to my carrier and they fixed it, faulty connector replaced, in the S3 forums many had issues with cables and onboard connectors, now with my note3, first thing I did was to get a wireless charger, it takes twice thr time to charge, but you only put the phone on top the charger, no connection, so you can charge as many time you want without wearing off the conector, in your case, looks like is the conector, take it for warranty service, in my case it didnt matter if it was rooted or else, the connector is a hardware issue, so they honnored the warranty, and, finally, get yourself a wireless charger, it is really nice to charge cable free, mine cost 35 dlls, worth every cent
Just because you're rooted doesn't mean your warranty is void. It depends on whether your provider will notice and if they did whether they would care.

Thanks for all your replies, fells good I'm not alone out here with the same issue.
I went to a shop 40 km from here and bought a new Note 3.
Then I started to do some research.
1. New battery - not charging
2. Tried new charger and cord -nope
3. Change USB connector at the bottom of the phone with the new one - still not charging.
4. Tried a new stock ROM via ODIN since I got a new battery - not charging
5. Mother of all..! Changed motherboard with the new phone. Voilá! Charging even with old battery.
Well, it looks like something really bad happened with the motherboard. And I haven't barely used the phone - but rooted it.
I will definitely root again but perhaps with "universal root de la Vega" instead of CF root. Don't really know what's best.
Once again, thanks for your replies and comments. They are worth gold when in trouble.

could this be relatd to knox warranty / burned efuse?
I'd just like to ask...destroying the phone because it's rooted seems to be a overreaction, if it's the case...

I'd would like to know that too! It happened after first NFC connection with my Galaxy Gear if it's any clue.
My battery is going along the same lines, it is getting worse and worse and worse everyday since MJ7 update. Today it started showing 'Battery Disconnected' error and dropping the phone from about 2 feets height fixed it. I mean, i charge full, and next thing you know, it's down to 90%. I thought it was calibration at first, but no no it wasn't! The thing is i don't know if a new battery will fix and i wouldn't like throwing that money away for no reason.

My advise is if you can flash in a stock rom then do so and then take it back for warranty repairs. I dont think they really check the knox warranty void flag so if you are lucky then you may get a repaired or new/refurbished note 3 that is actually working.
hi guys,
i apologise if i am breaking any rules but i havent been able to find any solutions to this new problem that i have right now
i always plug my note 3 into the wall charger every night when i sleep, last night it just didnt charge and i woke up to 5 percent charge, i plugged the phone into my car charger and the phone just died, and then didnt charge on the car charger, i plugged it into the computer at my work it charged very very slowly, only about 17 percent i brought it back home and plugged it back into the official samsung charger and it just wouldnt charge the charge percentage would stay the same. i have it hooked upto my laptops usb 3.0 charger and it is slowly charging and i have turned it off
i dont understand how this could have happened, i didnt do anything to it didnt install any new software, didnt drop the phone or the wall charger
i got this phone hardly two months ago, the wire seems alright and the wall plug also looks fine dont know whats going on, help!
I have updated to kitkat and the phone seems to be charging but not charging invert the laptop could it be the official wire is faulty?

Try using a USB 2.0 cable from another charger on the official charger and charge another phone. This is to check whether your charger has issues.
It's quite hard to test if the USB 3.0 cable works or not as you may or may not have another device with USB 3.0. But if you do, try it.
If these problems still persist, you should go to Samsung warranty and claim it. This shouldn't happen, and you wouldn't want to risk having it blow up in your face during your slumber. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencet...ing-angry-customer-uploads-Youtube-video.html

LOL they wouldn't need to check the phone to see if the charger/cable is defective sir.
The only thing they would need to check is if your phone is defective, then they will need to see that 0x1 flag you tripped, and then would ask you to go elsewhere.
Same thing has been happening to me after updating to kitkat (BTU) stock unrooted: Sometimes it won't charge until I reboot, then charges normally. I highly doubt this is a cable issue as it is a near new device..

Okay I have some funny information. I have the official Samsung cable and wall charger and my wife's iPhone wall charger. I turned the phone off and tried charging through the wall outlet. It failed. It would give a short vibration at regular intervals as if it's trying to initialise charging but failing. The screen would also try to turn on but wouldn't. This was happening with both wall chargers. I then connected this off phone with my laptop using the same cable and it started charging. Albeit extremely slowly

Screams defective unit to me..
Laptop USB's charge devices slowly no matter what, as the power output is much less than the wall charger.
If you can grab an extra battery and try with that, it would be your final hope.
Seems like a battery issue.
Try another one.
Hopefully that will fix it. If it doesnt, then the problem would be the motherboard and that would put you in deep water.

I had the same with mine. My phone charged unregulary, mostly only up to 70%, then stopped charging. When plugged in to my iBolt xprodock it charged sometimes, but never triggered the car-dock-mode as usual, no audio output through USB as designed., All other functions of the Phone operated fine
So I went to Samsung service center, they checked the charger and cable, all fine. Then they checked the phone and came back with "a flash module is broken", charging electronic, motherboard defect.
By the way, my phone was on stock 4.4.2 German rom, rooted, custom recovery and Knox triggered. No problem for the service center! But now they send it to Samsung, because they are not allowed to change the mainboard.
I am really curious whether Samsung repairs or will refuse warranty. I am from Germany and the phone should be covered by the warranty by law, I am optimistic, because searching the web did not show a single case of rejecting warranty here in Germany due to triggered Knox.

I had the same with mine. My phone charged unregulary, mostly only up to 70%, then stopped charging. When plugged in to my iBolt xprodock it charged sometimes, but never triggered the car-dock-mode as usual, no audio output through USB as designed., All other functions of the Phone operated fine
So I went to Samsung service center, they checked the charger and cable, all fine. Then they checked the phone and came back with "a flash module is broken", charging electronic, motherboard defect.
By the way, my phone was on stock 4.4.2 German rom, rooted, custom recovery and Knox triggered. No problem for the service center! But now they send it to Samsung, because they are not allowed to change the mainboard.
I am really curious whether Samsung repairs or will refuse warranty. I am from Germany and the phone should be covered by the warranty by law, I am optimistic, because searching the web did not show a single case of rejecting warranty here in Germany due to triggered Knox. Lets see, I keep you updated. :good:

Do you think I should try the service centre near me as well? Maybe get lucky? Or is there no chance

I think so, give it a try. What bad should happen?
have you tried rebooting the phone first?
I remember when I had my s3, on rare occasions it would not charge, it would show that its charging but wouldnt charge, after a reboot all would be fine.

Rebooted many times man. Now the only decent charging I can get done is off the wall plug while the phone is off
Charly-whiskey thinking of going to the nearest centre next week fingers crossed

You should definitely go and ask. Worst case, they will refuse warranty. But at least they will confirm what the problem is.

The TN7 has unfortunately been known to have wonky USB ports, so if you're having issues with it then you might want to contact the manufacturer and see about getting a replacement.
I had the same problem and I was able to fix it. Turn off the device, take a needle and try to narrow the USB port, GENTLY AND SLOWLY, try to make the hole to be tighter. I hope it helps. Tegra note is ****y stuff...
How?

Hey there my usb port, like many others has also gone bust. You mentioned trying to narrow the usb port, what do you mean by this? My tab has be useless for the past month since curries refused to repair it saying it was my fault. I guess its all down to me somehow fixing it any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Have you tried holding down the power button for around 30secs. My battery got drained completely and it didn't seem to be charging, even after a few hours using different chargers. After holding down the power button down for 30 seconds. Then releasing the button. Then pressing again. It came alive.
I may have had a different problem but hope it works for you.
charging problems...the port maybe?
Just bought a refurbished evga tn7 from ebay and it was charged 84% so cool. I played on it for a while bout maybe an hour or so. I left it to charge that night and it didn't charge very fast. Ever since it will only charge with the wall outlet with another cable or the one that came with it. Takes about 6 hours or so to charge even 40%. It also discharges very quickly about a percent a minute or so. It came with the 4.4.2 update. I love this tablet but I can hardly use it because of this. Please help!

hya - its not hard but you need some nerve, it is relatively easy to wire a QI wireless receiver direct to the battery then fit a charger into a suitable case.
I've done four of these now using fintie slate 7 extreme cases (ebay US) and QI elements from ebay UK. cost about 25 quid or so.
short term or as an alternative you can strip a usb cable or get a micro usb extension cable and wire that to the battery instead so you can charge it up using a smart USB charger. it is possible to wire into the charging circuit so it registers if you are carefull and solder to the board side of the USB otherwise the QI is probably a better option as the charger will switch off when it decides the battery has been charged minimising any possible fire risk from overcharging,
it is also possible to get a phone/computer repair shop to fit a new usb socket as the boards aren't available for some daft reason - they are listed on alibaba but not available.
the only issue is not having a working usb port but as long as you don't want to root the device it doesn't seem to be needed.

my wireless mod charges slower than it should as its only rated to 1A but not that slow - Ideally you need a 2A charger for tablets min 1A for decent charging, most phone chargers are 500-750mA.
otherwise turn the tablet off and all the power goes to charging.
Hello all,
this is a rather strange thing that recently happened: my dad's galaxy S7 edge which has been working completely flawless the last few years recently decided to just turn it self off. He handed it to me saying it was working fine last night and trying to use it next day absolutely nothing happens anymore.
I tried to charge via USB with Samsung charger, wireless charger from Anker in case the USB port is defective, and different key combos to restart etc. On PC nothing is detected either..
Could a faulty USB charger have killed the device? When plugging it in, there is absolutely no sign of life - you can hear a faint "buzzing" but no indicator lights etc..
Does anyone have any tips? It would be really appreciated!
Battery or port pcb failure. Maybe both.
Replace battery as it's long overdue.
Once an Li reaches 80% of its original capacity it's reached the end of its usable lifespan.
It's degraded at that point. Degraded Li's are more likely to fail. Any swelling is a failure; replace immediately if observed.
Replace battery and go from there...
Thanks @blackhawk for the tips and insight - I will try to replace the battery!

On a heavily used device the battery lifespan is typically 1-3 years.
I plan to replace my N10+ device's battery about every year, routine maintenance.
A failed Li can do a lot of damage. It rests on the display... which is somewhat fragile.
Get a new rear cover seal when replacing the battery so it retains its water resistance. On AMOLED (NOT LCD displays!!!) displays anhydrous isopropyl alcohol can be used to help loosen the double sides tape on the rear cover and battery if you do it yourself.
Controlled heat is used to help loosen the rear cover on most of these phones. Many shops will replace the battery for a low price as well.
Pretty amazing stuff right here. My S7 Edge did the exact same thing last night.
Think Samsung hit the kill switch.
I'm writing this message from my dad's s7 edge which has kinda the same problem but it's still usable. It shuts down suddenly (even with battery full 100%) and the only way to turn it on is plugging it to the charger, otherwise no sign of life.

I believe, most of this case was caused by power IC, my s7 edge was suddenly died last night too. You can see on this thread and tutorial.

Yeah, i want to try this too, but i think it cost too much money, not worth for me. And also i dont trust to much for 3rd party repair on here except samsung service center.
But u can give it a try. Hope it works.
