[Q] Infuse won't charge.

Got an Infuse 4G from my neighbor ( He switched from ATT to Verizon knew I needed a phone so he was kind enough to give it to me) and now the phone doesn't charge. What can I do?

Chances are, you have a bad charger or a bad battery.

Either that or a broken usb port. You could be surprise on how many galaxy phones get no charge because of the usb charging port. Its very sensitive and it can be broken quite easily. But if you give more details maybe we can help. Does it responds when you connect it or it wont do anything at all?

can you plug into the computer and it stays connected with no issues or problems...if yes, then your port on the phone should be good
batteries do have a life span...and they are cheap on ebay...I got 2 2000 with charge for less than $20 bucks...great deal
prob is your battery if you wanna stay oem battery same thing you can get them at good prices on eBay and Amazon

Infuse Wont stay on or charge
Hello, maybe someone can help me here. My infuse suddenly won't charge or turn on at all. When I plug in the USB cable from my computer or the wall the battery icon comes on with the animated loading circle thing then goes off after about a second of doing that. When I do a hard reset with or without the battery in it and with or without the charger plugged in, the same thing happens.
Its been several days since this has been happening and after trying again today, it actually turned on and booted to the OS and was charging for about 5 mins before it stopped recognizing the charger. I pulled the battery and it since will not turn on. The battery has some charge on it but will not turn the phone on, just does the weird battery thing as described above.
I have tried several different charging cables, but have no other battery to try. Any suggestions?

Hello i had the same problem awhile back. When my phone was not rooted(Infuse) i had to go to recovery mode and wipe cache after that the charger recognized right away on the phone.
Another time After i rooted i flashed a bad rom and i could not get my phone to charge while it was off. It could only charge with the phone on....SO maybe try flashing a newer better ROM i recommend CM10.
Another thing i had to do was switch this old charger i had it would recognize for 5 min then Stop. It was just a bad wire connection.

The problem is I cannot get it to turn on at all. I was running CM10 and have tried 4 different charger/usb cables.

Sadly, the connection of this device is a known weak spot.. if its not doing anything when connected to some form of current.. all signs point to a dead port..
Hopefully that isn't the case..

I also went through this issue and i discovered that it will keep going through a battery icon and then off loop so the way to deal with this is as soon as you see the battery picture just hold the power button for like 2 or 3 seconds and then you should see the battery green indicator with the botton dots animation and it will Charge.

I am having the same issue as xtz as well. I cant get it to turn on. I flashed the Paranoid Android rom and it all went downhill from there. I flashed it and it had 10% battery left, by the end of the night it was at 1%. I went to bed and woke up with it only at 5%. I went back to stock then re-rooted it. I installed CWM but it wouldn't let me go into CWM recovery, only the Android recovery. Now the phone won't turn on at all, I have swapped batteries and USB cords with no luck. This is a brand new unit less than a week old, the battery is also less than 2 weeks old. Any help here? It won't turn on at all It does the same little ritual that xtz's does.

I had the same thing with mine when I first got it (used), I plugged it into the wall with a 2amp charger, left it overnight, and in the morning it was on and charged.

I already tried that and it seems to have messed up one of the batteries. The little loading circle will come on for a split second then it will go away, come back a few seconds later and it just loops. I plugged in the USB while holding the volume keys to try and get it into download mode but I'll get a warning message saying something about installing a different OS being dangerous, again, for a split second, and shuts off. It seems like the phone can't have any power go through it for more than a split second.

I'm having a similar issue with the phone not charging. But the phone won't PC or wall charger. But check this out I have a jigg for putting device in download mode when I connect it to phone. The phones goes in to download now when powered on. So what do guys think is wrong?

From the info you provided: the phone is not charging but the jig works.

Do I need a new battery or does it sound like the USB port shot?

Same thing happened to my daughters galaxy s2. Usb port is shot. I got her a battery wall charger and a couple spare batteries. Charged the battery, popped it in and turned right on.

Inspire is DEAD. grrr.. Help?

So my phone battery was dieing. In fact the phone powered itself off. So I went to plug it into my car charger, but the charger port (on the car adapter) was damaged so i never plugged it in. Instead I grabbed a usb charger out of the glove box that I had bought on ebay and never used before. I plugged it in, saw the big battery icon and a few seconds later the phone booted up and I saw the HTC logo. I left the truck and went back to work. When I got doe about an hour later I discovered the charge light on the phone was no longer lit and the phone would not respond to pushing the power button. At this point I figured I killed the battery and would need to try to charge it manually when I got home.
Upon getting home I put the battery in my wifes inspire. It curiously charged it up no problem. So I put the charged battery back in my phone and nothing. It wont do anything. I tried her battery, nothing. No lights, no vibe no nothing. Like the battery is completely dead... But its not.
I actually just bought this phone used about 2 weeks ago its been workign great until now. Im really bummed. I had 2 atrix's get the boot loop problem and another phones screen went. All in the last 3 months.. so annoying.
Im figuring that the usb charger might have an over-volted output and somethign got fried? I have no idea but if anyone can help me that would be great.. I've spent almost 400 in phones in the last 4 months
Thanks!

Have you tried powering up the phone while plugged in to outlet to see if it powers up ?

Also all covers must be on (sim) (battery) to turn on. Sorry dont know what to tell you, phone may have bit the dust. When you left it in the truck charging was it a hot sunny day. You may have damaged internal hardware. If you purchased phone on ebay open a claim against seller. I had a phone I purchased for 400 that kept frying the battery. Ebay made seller refund money back.
See if you can hboot power up holding power button and volume down button at same time.

[Q] Charging oddities while phone is off

Hi,
Last year my girlfriend allowed me to root her Sensation to try out different ROMs and all went well. A few months ago however, she started to have problems while charging her phone.
If she plugs it in while the phone is closed, the orange LED flashes on/off at around a 2 second interval, instead of holding it's colour. Furthermore, it never changes to green to indicate that the charge is complete. When the phone is in this state, she can't turn her phone on either - she has to unplug it in order to turn it on. If the phone is already on, and she plugs it in, everything behaves normally.
Either than that, the battery seems to hold the charge normally and the rest of the phone still works very well.
I've tried searching for similar problems but haven't landed on anything similar or which may be helpful. It's really got me stumped to what could be the cause, and more importantly, how to fix it!
Would someone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Does the phone behaves in same manner if it's fully charge n switched off when plugged to the charger.does the orange led fluctuate.
The orange led fluctuate whn the voltage of charger is less and it takes times to charge try switching the charger means if you use wall charger then charge through pc and vice versa
Hit thanks button if you find me helpfully

We tried switching from wall plug to USB on the laptop and it does the same thing. However, we noticed that if the battery isn't completely drained, the led doesn't flash - it charges normally.
Would there be a way around this?

I'd pick on the odds that the LED light hardware controller is slightly faulty, but if its really like you said its nothing to worry about, right?

Hi,
greetings
this used to happen with me when i was on stock rom.
the problem is when the battery is completely drained it needs lots of voltage to get charge
for this problem i took my cell to htc service center and they replaced the adapter and the problem was solved
i think you must buy a new adapter or say a new charger i thing that must solve your problem of led and your phone will get charge as normal even with the battery completely drained OR i think we get wall chargers you can look at the picture in which we have to place the battery and the battery gets charged you justt have to put the battery.. this charger is locally available in indian market for 80 to 100 rs.. you can search on net for the charger this is really a good thing and is a universal charger chagers each and every battery here in india we call it as khekda (marathi word for carb ) charger
let me know if it does solve your battery

[Q] HELP!!!! My phone won't charge.

Ok so I plugged my phone in last night and charged it like normal. Woke up everything was good full charge and ready to roll. Worked my lunch and dinner shift at work, got home went to plug it in and got the slow charge message. No biggie have gotten that before adjusted my charger and boom nothing no charging at all. Changed chargers, and nothing. Completely factory reset back to stock d801G via kdz which means my port is good because I can access download and flash new firmware. Its currently plugged into my computer screen lit up with charging logo, and the led lit up too, but no real evidence that charging is happening. Any ideas on whats going on with the phone? Any ideas on fixing it if it isn't actually charging?

Battery completely dead or other hardware issue? [semi-resolved]

Hi All, my wifes s6 (using xtrestolite rom) has stopped taking a charge. Im trying to figure out what the issue is. Unfortunately im travelling for the next month so have limited trouble shooting options.
Background
- wife has been complaining that her phone battery dies quickly. I kind of dimissed her assuming it was in her head. she said it loses 10percent in standby mode in 1hr roughly. Shes been complaining about this for a week.
- yesterday at the airport her battery was at 12% and when we plugged it in to charge it wouldnt take a charge. Bolt icon did not come up and still said "connect charger" on the screen. Normally when connected the red Led comes on, but now it doesnt.
-our normal chsrging method is using and aukey 3port charger as fast charging mode.
Troubleshooting/diagnosis
- i have an s6 as well so i tested all the cables and chargers on my phone and it works. We even had the official samsung charger and cable but same issue.
- after the phone was completely dead, if you plug in the charging cable the charging bolt icon comes on for a few sec, the top left says "kernel is on seandroid enforcing" for a sec and then everything goes blank. Red charging led doesnt come on. So it seems like it detects the cable but wont charge enough to boot up.
- i was able to boot into twrp recovery but where its supposed to have a battery level its completely blank. Originally i was able to do this without any canles but then it wouldnt. My guess is that i orginally had a bit of juice and then it was completely dead.
-after leaving it plugged in for a sec, im able to turn it on where it boots and i can see it says 0% battery. It stays on for 5sec before turning off itself.
- i also tried plugging it into laptop, but laptop does not detect it. The phone does detect the power though and does the same as above but this time bolt charging icon stayes on for 1-2min before going off and seeing the "kernel is on seandroid icon". Once the seanadroid goes away nothing seems to happen. After doing this i was able to turn it on and it showed 1%. I thought this was promising but after trying this a few times ive never been able to get to 1percent again.
- with the brief charge thst i guess its getting, i was able to go i to twrp recovery and do a factory reset. This was with cable plugged in the whole time. Without cable in i dont think it would complete the action.
That about summarizes whats happened.
Ive concluded the following:
- charger and cables are ok and not the issue
- it is not the charging port since the phone does seem to be getting some juice bacause charging icon comes on for 2sec whenever cable is plugged in.
- its not a software/app issue since it wont charge even in recovery mode. Also factory reset was done and no luck.
My best guess is that the battery can only hold a 0-1% charge which is enough to register it being plugged in but not enough to do anything else. But if everything else is ok shouldnt it work when if the cable is just left in. This makes me think theres something else going on.
Any suggestions or theories would be much appreciated trying to decide if i should pay to get battery replaced.
Sorry for the long post. Figured it is best to give all info.
Thanks in advance!
Update June 3:
Hey everyone, just a correction on the above. It looks like it is able to charge in recovery (slowly). I realized that although there is no battery level during recovery, no charging led, and not booting up after being charged for a bit, maybe its just going slowly.
So i went into recovery and left it overnight on the non-fast charging and woke up after 8hrs and it was at 78percent!!!
Im not sure why it didnt go to 100% in 8hrs.
The phone still doesnt charge regularly when plugged in, so still need to fix that.
Do you guys think its a rom issue (only factory reset done before) ? I will see if i can get a rom for flashing.
Update 2:
Reflashed xtrestolite rom but still no luck. It wont charge.

Seems like a dead battery.

Bump.
Went to the phone store and they said its probably not the battery but the ic chip for charging? This will cost 150, but doesnt include the screen if they break it...
Does this make sense since i can charge in recovery.
Thanks. Any direction or input is much appreciated.

Go on the local store and change your battery (if isn't in warranty)

Hi all, just wanted to update the post that the issue is semi-fixed.
I brought it into a repair shop who offered to diagnose the problem for free before paying to replace the battery.
He told me there was nothing wrong with it and not sure what my issue was. Plugs in the charger and lo and behold it was charging. He said he didnt do anytning to it except blow some compressed air on the port.
Im guessing the comporessed air cleaned out a short? So now it charges properly.
The issue remaining is that the pc doesnt detect the phone. It shows as charging on the phone but no conmection. Tried to install the latest samung driver (1.5.4xxx?) but no luck. On occation sometimes it says "usb port has malfunctioned" but other times nothing.
My s6 does actually connect, so definitely my wife's s6 itself and not comp. Im tempted to buy some comlressed air and give it ankther blow, but dont want to risk messing it up again. im pretty happy that it at least charges up.
Hope this helps others that might have similar issue.
