Today my Triumph seemed to be draining the battery faster than normal, though I was also making a lot more calls than normal. I have a cable plugged into my PC at work which I plugged into my phone but the driver install window didn't pop up like it normally does and my PC's network connection got very slow. I unplugged it and my PC connection was fine again. I left my phone unplugged for the most part after that though I did plug it in once or twice. I don't think it was ever truly recognized by my PC at work today (it has worked before) though I'm not certain.
When I was about to go home I noticed my phone was off. I knew it was low on battery so I assumed that it had turned off due to low battery. It couldn't have been off any more than 30-60 minutes. I didn't think it should have turned off already for low battery yet though.
I plugged it into my car charger and my phone refused to turn on. About 20 minutes later i unplugged my phone and the red charging light was still on. I had to pull the battery. I then turned on my phone and it was working, but low on battery.
About 45 minutes later I drove home with my phone plugged in, but I didn't check to see if the charging light was on. The phone was still on. When I got home I tried plugging in the phone and I noticed that it was not charging. It still isn't. I have tried the following:
Restarting phone
Plug in while it is turned off (charge light comes on but not charging animation, must pull battery for light to go off. phone will not start while plugged in or charge light is on)
Try plugging into computer rather than wall
Try car charger
Swap battery to stock battery (I use an Anker battery rather than the stock. I haven't used my stock battery for a few weeks to a month. It should have been fully charged but only had less than 50%) and try everything again with same results
Right now I have my Anker battery in which was nearly dead (below 10%) plugged into the wall with it off hoping it will charge. My phone is mostly stock other than I rooted it using the b_randon14's method, installed b_randon14's tweak mod, and flashed in the Sprint PRL using a method from howard forums with the 60681 version. I had links but had to remove them due to not previously posting on this forum.
I noticed the usb cable is not solid in the prot on my phone, but it never was and doesn't seem any different. For example I can move the cable back and forth a little bit while plugged in. It remains plugged in when I do this and while the phone is off it knows it is plugged in obviously. Any ideas?
Ok... I left it plugged in while off for an hour then it started working... very odd. Nevermind then I guess, lol.
Saw this thread, was going to suggest that. Your issue seems to be one that happens across all sorts of devices that have rechargeable batteries, even Android phones (and especially $&!t MP3 players that you'll find at K-Mart). I once made the mistake of buying a $30 MP3 player that refused to turn on once its battery dropped to a certain level. Twice. From K-Mart, of course.
Thank goodness for returns.
I am still having issues and it is really frustrating. Sometimes it will charge when on, some times it won't. The only thing I think MIGHT be common between when it does and doesn't work is how much battery is left. I think it might work more often when the battery is closer to a full charge. What I often do is plug in the phone, shut it off, it will charge but charging animation isn't there and I cannot turn it on until the charging animation shows up. I think it only shows up when the phone is fully charge or close to it (I've only ever seen it when it is fully charged).
Unfortunately I don't have a lot of concrete information on this as i haven't had much time to troubleshoot and verify any of my suspicions. I do know that USB Debugging has nothing to do with it and clearing my battery statistics didn't have any affect either. This issue is very frustrating and I believe are all software based, not hardware.
Any ideas or pointers?
Out of curiosity, have tried a different USB cable? I know that you talked about switching chargers, and I couldn't tell if this was just the base unit and you plugged the same cable in or, if it was a completely different charger and cable.
I have a wall charger with a usb cable at my office, a wall charger with a (different) usb cable at my house, and a car charger with its own non detachable usb cable. All have the same issue.
Ive been using my s3 for about 40 minutes on CM10. Plugged into a dual usb charger connected to not ip port, which in the past i have used fine. I have lost 5% battery in this time. Current widget doesn't work yet with S3. Suggestions?
Edit - The first time I got the phone after a full charge and discharge, while plugged into stock charger and before anything root, the same problem happened.

From what I heard, the charger can't charge the phone fast enough when you are using it thus the losing charge while plugging in. If you are talking about losing percentage right after you disconnect the phone from the charger, that is a feature, I do not know at the top of my head why it does it.
If charging through USB port (and many car chargers) you're capped at 500mA vs 700+ for wall chargers. You can install a kernel that supports fast charging and you will get 700mA through USB.

I'm having the same issue whether charging from usb or a power outlet. Charges for a bit initially, then drains. Happens with different cords, too. I'll pick it up and it will feel warm, see that the battery is lower than when I plugged it in, then put it down. Then it cools off and starts charging again. Any ideas?
Same here except
i have the same issue, i had stock Touchwiz and suddenly the phone started to discharge while on charging outlet, tried different chargers, outlets, different ports, etc. still wouldnt work, i even deleted several applications and turned off several phone functions, etc. still nothing, then i rooted to CM10.1 and the same issue still presists, the phone charges a bit then discharges weather i use it or not. the only solution to charge it, it seems to be by turning off the phone. i think it has to do with the usb port on the phone as i even had the battery changed and it still would discharge while on a charger.
S3 Battery Decreasing while charging SOLVED !!
Hey i have 100% Solution of this with this you will your battery life !
i got same problem too but i solved now i'm happy
this is so easy , for all samsung phones and android phones !
Just install battery doctor (cheetah Software) from play store
optimize your phone and then charge
your phone will charge fastly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
with this your battery life will also increased !!
Sometimes (no pattern) the note charges very very slowly: in 4 hours this morning, for example, has increased of only 15%.
You can tell cos the charger is not hot.
Is it a charger/cable/connector problem?
Do you see a little red "X" over the battery when this happens? i believe unless you use one of the Samsung chargers it won't charge at full speed but will still trickle charge slowly. I've also found that even with the Samsung charger when I used a really long USB cord I wasn't getting full speed charging, so a long or bad cord can be an issue.

No red X, original cable and charger... To solve I have to unplug e replug couple of times
Same here
When I connect the Note 10.1 to my Computer or last time I tried to connect to car charger it gives a red cross. Why does this keep happening ??
My note 10.1 just started charging slowly noticeably.
I used an app called Galaxy Charging Current, and sure enough, the status shows that it is charging at 1amp, instead of the nominal 2amps.
This is on the original charger and cable.
I recommend everyone to check out the app called Galaxy Charging Current.

The red X is difefrent: you cannot charge the note 10.1 with a usb cable or in car with a 1 Amp adaptor, it needs 2
Opinion
My GT-N8000 from original ICS 4.0.4 until now using XXCMI2 DBT Deodexed sometimes too long for charging ( charge always at power off mode ). sometimes 5-6 hours and it still not full 100%. It'll be full 100% if unplug and replug again and wait at least 1 or 2 hours. after long time experiment, My conclusion when charge at power off from 35% or below, It will be 5-6 hours charge and not full but charge at 60% power off mode charge it will be full 100% charged just 2-3 hours. that's very strange. at power on never got this problem, always 100% full.
All accessories, charger and cable data were original.
Any Opinion???
Thanks

could be the ROM you are using. Did this happen when you were stock? I know on my HTC one there were a few roms that I would have to plug the USB in three of four times just to get it to work correctly. Then I changed roms and BOOM works perfect again.
@Tiltmfc
For Me that happen on stock ROM too, coz when I purchase this N8000 at special price on 1st day launch in Indonesia, I must wait until root feature available at least 2-3 month and I always charge at OFF condition and almost rare at ON mode. at official ICS at OFF always like this, real real long to be fully charged when start charge at 30% and Don't know when reach 100% if I don't unplug the charger cable at least once.

I had the same problem previously. Solved by getting a new charger (whole set including the cable)! One hour charging = >15% increase
Cool
Wow Cool, maybe charger problem. For Now I've never charge my N8000 below 60% at OFF Mode. always taking 3 hours charging time to 100%.
Thanks for sharing.
Yep I'd agree that it sounds like your charger or wire is on its way out. I had a similar issue with my S3, changed charger - problem fixed
Samsung 10.1 Note N8000 charging slow
I have one from early 2013. The issue is that during the charging process, sediments get deposited both on the plug and the socket. This over a period of time reduces the contact between male and female parts contributing to slow charging.
In a post, some one mentioned that his friends charger worked on his tablet and his charger did the job for his friend. Some one was able to fix the issue with a new charger. The fact is, any change that reduces the sedimentary issue thus enhancing contact will work better.
I took an obsolete tooth brush cleaned the plug and then held the phone's socket down while cleaning that as well. Vila, my charging speed has improved.
Samsung had a proprietary cable for 2013 and later they replaced it with micro USB in 2014. The sediment issue is not as pronounced as in other mobiles which use different cable type. In N8000, the current in DC o/p is also high at 2A which may be causing this problem.
As title states, replaced everything yet phone refuses to charge or connect to a PC 99% of the time.
I have tried ...
Different outlets
Multiple working android chargers and USB cables
Multiple computers and usb ports
Different batteries
2 OEM batteries
Phone stopped charging one random night, plugged into charger, slept, woke up, phone died and never turned on.
I have been charging my battery through my friends old phone then swapping my battery into my own skyrocket, which turns on so I know the phone works.
For the 1% time that it does charge, I have no idea what happens, but I see that it charges and for ~5 minutes. At this point I don't move or touch the phone at all, I just let it lay there. And after ~5 minutes it stops charging again. (I know it starts/stops because of the tiny buzz it makes)
Anyone have any ideas? Also I am not running a stock rom, not sure if that matters but will try to flash a stock rom soon.

First you have to check carefully the battery, does it an original one? Because out there most of the battery for Skyrocket are fake, moreover, battery for our device is the same as Samsung Galaxy S2 HD for korea market. (On our battey, you'll se 4 pins: 3 for battery and 1 for NFC antenna. While the others just have 3 pins)
Flash stock rom using Odin and check again. If it can charge or not
Plug to a computer and check if it charge or not
If all above are failed, possibly the chip which manager charging in your phone is dead and have to replace.
Goodluck
My S6 is 2 weeks old today and I noticed that fast charging (using adaptive charger I got in the box) has stopped working
Yesterday at work I put my phone on charge and went back to it after 20mins and noticed it had stopped charging.
I thought maybe it the 2pin plug point so I changed plug points and it starts charging.
Come back later and it stopped charging.
Changed plug point again and the same thing happened.
Getting irritated I put it on my wireless charge mat instead.
Today I decided to test the charger and low and behold it's now working but it's charging at the normal rate.
I tested this by using my old S4 charger and I got the same time to full message.
Before when I plugged in my adaptive charger it said fast charging now it just says "Cable charging"
Do you guys think it's my phone or my adaptive charger?
I don't have another adaptive fast charger to test with
EDIT: I was running XtreStoLite ROM, I used ODin and reloaded the latest AOD8 Vodafone SA firmware but still fast charging isn't working.
I'd say it's the charger. There have been instances of them shorting. The last Note 4 I had did the same thing.
Perhaps a silly question, but am I right in thinking that the fast charging only works when the battery is below 20% or so? I tried plugging mine in yesterday when at 40% charge and it just said 'cable charging' (using the out-the-box charger and cable)

When you use the fast charger, it'll say fast charging no matter how full your battery is.

Geez boet, how much does an S6 go for in SA?
I am having the same problem with my S6.
The fast charge doesn't work afree a week.
Last night I plugged in @ midnight with the original charger and cable at 5% and all apps shut down
It said "charging" and not "fast charging".
530am....only 97%.
This is pretty frustrating. It seems to have stopped in the last couple days.
Thoughts?
If you connect the USB cable to your PC and it detects your phone, it's proof that it's the adaptive charger. It happened to me on my Note 4, and I had it replaced with the warranty. Problem solved. Try it and you won't have any more problems. Garanteed!

Thanks - have now realised that I had to push the USB cable extra hard into the charger - that switched it from showing 'charging' to 'fast charging'

Oddly...when I connect it to my computer...it charges (slowly of course).
But the computer never detects it.
Update
@Biggenz the S6 32gig is around the R9000 mark
@BoondckSaint try another Adaptive Fast Charger, apparently even the Qualcomm ones work too. If it still doesn't fast charge take it into SCC.
@alanjrobertson my problem started out like that, I'd have to unplug and re-plug the cable in then it would work. Now more often than not it just doesn't Fast Charge
So, I took my phone in to Samsung Customer Care and after trying numerous chargers my S6 would just say "Cable Charging" and never show "Fast Charger Connected" in the notification bar.
They tested my charger on another S6 and S6 Edge and they both worked fine and Fast charge was working. Had the correct "Fast Charger Connected" in the notification bar too.
I had to leave my S6 there and they will repair it. The technician said it's either the USB connector is faulty or the mainboard needs replacing.
I'm abit disappointed now as my s6 is only 2 weeks old and it's already had to be booked in for repairs.
Hopefully no such issues for me - it seemed to be very much linked to the USB plug at the charger end not being the whole way in but will be keeping a close eye on it!

Have you tried depleting battery all the way down until S6 goes off by it self? Then charge it while is off all the way to 100% or leave it all night. Then see difference. Also one hint which is not quite related to your problem,but just for people to know. Fast Charging is NOT working from 50% and up to 100%. This is normal. So Fast Charge works from 0%-50%,NOT ABOVE!

The Samsung Care Center replaced the USB port on my phone and its fast charging again perfectly. Wasn't anything to do with the battery thankfully.
Before replacing the USB port the phone always showed "Cable charging" whenever it was plugged into the fast charger.
Now it shows Fast Charging in the notification area.
I am also having the same problem with mine it can be seen in odin but no mtp no matter which computer i use ... (yes drivers were correctly installed) also not showing fast charging with stock charger and about 4 different cables that i know work with it in the past. My phones been flashed will this void my warranty for usb repair ?

I took mine in and they fixed it. This was at the Samsung centre in my city. Took them a week because they didnt have any USB ports at their branch and had to wait for it to be couriered from Johannesburg
I'm having the exact same issue with my S6. Only a couple of months old and only showing Cable charging and intermitantly stops charging. I'd say definitely charging port. I've tried the samsung fast charger, the sony z4 tablet fast charger, my aukey quick charge 2.0 car charger and my aukey portable quick charge 2.0 portable battery. Bit annoyed
Same issue here. comp does detect it then it drops over and over. same with whatever charger im using or cord. 2 months old 920W8.
i see one of these in my future.........................
