So today I flashed to ICS trought ODIN. I forgot to a hard reset. It worked fine until the battery drained to 2% and tried to charge but without sucess. I tried multiple hard reset, removing battery charging in the cable, pc. I don't think the battery is the problem, cause the phone is farely new and previous to my flashing I had charged and it was working fine.
see if you can get your hands on a s2 from a buddy or something and see if your battery charges in the test s2, try isolating the problem to see if its your phone or the battery. I know you said it was working fine prior the flashing through ODIN but you never know, maybe the battery just decided to take a crap on you afterwards without flashing having nothing to do with it.
Unfortunately I can't think of anyone with a galaxy s2, maybe I can take to the local service and ask them to check if the problem is the battery or the phone. Hope they don't charge me for that.
they shouldnt, ask before anyways...or take the battery to your carrier's retail store and see if they can charge it up on one of their phones..
Ok a friend of a friend of mine will charge my battery if the battery is not damaged. OK, but if it's ok. What could the problem be? Maybe the ICS version is unstable. I don't like ICS anyway, cause I revert back to my previous fimware without usb jigg.
If it isn't the battery, I wouldn't know what the cause would be. I could be a specific ROM issue but I doubt it...have other people complained about the same issue? Like you said, just revert back to stock and flash another ROM if you'd like.
Maybe a far out there idea, but - buy standalone charger from eBay (it costs 3 USD with free shipping). And you will be able to charge your battery without phone
That's a great idea, but I figured the problem out for now at least. But can somebody tell how to flash to stock firmware and will I be needing USB jig?

My Fuze recently stopped charging. It also gets warm to the touch now.
I bought a new OEM battery and it solved the problem for about three days, but then same problem.
I read somewhere that the Fuze has some sort of shut-off when the battery doesn't work to prevent overheating (or something like that).
It's still under warranty, but I would rather not have to flash back to stock AT&T ROM, etc.
Any ideas would be welcome.
So that's why you're sending it back! That sucks-I have no idea how to fix it, but since you now have two batteries, you could get one of those cradles that has a re-charging slot for spare batteries. Does it not recharge over usb as well as with a wall-charger? Perhaps the issue is with your charger, and not with the fuze. You might look into different charging methods, if you have them available.
No, FT, not getting an iPhone!
Weird that I woke up this morning and my phone did have a 92% charge (hadn't been getting over 20% in the last 10 days), but it is draining quickly without any use.
I'll try my USB charger, but I don't think that's it.
I can get a new one under warranty, but then I have to flash back, flash, set up again; lot of time involved.
i assume youve tried taking the battery out for over 30 mins, then putting it back in, leaving it shut off and charging for over 3 hours without interuptions or turning it on?
I also assume you are using original charger?
Have you considered that the rom/software you are using is wiping the battery out? Loathed to say it, but have you tried HR or reflash different rom as a last resort?

Definitely. I removed some recently installed software, but no luck. Yes, a hard reset is scheduled for tonight. If that doesn't work, stock ROM flash and return to AT&T.
I'll try your ideas and let you know what happens.
I have a similar problem, however it still charges. Fuze gets really warm at sporadic times, and i'm starting to think it's because of the charger. I'm in Syria right now and using a converter and i'm starting to think it's because of it; swapping it in as soon as i get back.

I went to India a few years ago, and my wife made me leave all electronic stuff behind because she'd heard of stuff like that. You might want to ease off on the usage while you're over there.
mm it is weird though, as the htc chargers are now designed for multi area usage with just the plug part fitting into the adaptor/transformer.... obviously a cost cutting excerise from htc, so in theroy it should it ok for multi area use. I went to the maldives recently and had no problems with my HD
I had the same problem with my Omnia, but I just had to buy a new battery and never had the Problem again.
Overheating Problem in my Samsung i780
I have this same problem where my unit overheats, really hot to the touch. After switiching similar same spec orig batteries, the problem stays on which only means it is the unit and/or the unit's charging system that is faulty.
Any simple in-house remedy for this?
Planning to upgrade fw, though.
Thanks!
I've searched the forums and have not seen anything quite like my problem, so if I missed an important thread, I'm sorry.
Over the weekend, I plugged my Captivate (using a stock battery) into the official Samsung charger and overnight my roommate semi-dislodged the charger. When I woke up and grabbed my phone it only registered a few hours of charging yet still had almost full battery. Upon rebooting the phone, I was sent into a bootloop. Not at the ROM, not at the Kernel, not even at the bootloader. It goes so far as to show the white loading ring at the center of the screen which never moves. At one point, a thin pink line appears halfway through the screen as it shuts down and reboots, never making it any farther. If I plug the phone in, it will boot normally though it does not accurately report battery levels or charging.
Other oddities: after 5 minutes of a phone call, the phone hard crashes. Not FC's, but just goes black. Upon a reboot, I get stuck into the same boot loop. If I plug the phone into the wall charger without a battery, it will go into the turned-off charging animation and show a 100% charged battery. Furthermore, my other roommate has a brand new i9000 so I tried that battery (again, stock Samsung) and it continues in the same bootloop. I have tried flashing other ROMS and going back to stock, but that does not seem to help.
Other info: I was running OneCosmic's ICS 3.1 with no overclock and light undervolting at the time. It was perfectly stable for the few days until the charger dislodged. I am also out of warranty and am not eligible for a hardware upgrade so repairing my Captivate would be ideal. I also have a usb jig if that is of any use to this scenario.
Has anyone experienced anything remotely like this? If not, what debugging steps should I attempt?
What I would suggest is using one of the ODIN one clicks and flash back to stock
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
I've flashed back to Rogers 2.2 stock. Doesn't help. It actually made it harder for me to get the phone started though I have yet to make a phone call from it.
Have you had the phone for less than a year? if so call at&t(or rogers) and they'll replace it for you.
then try factory reset
then try using odin or rom manager to flash back to stock
When all else fails, flash to cm7. that will completely wipe everything and start from scratch.
if that STILL dost work.... than you can be sure that its a hardware problem :/ theres nothing you can do except replace and sell for for parts.. sorry
You may want to try clearing the battery stats. Something in there may be telling the phone that the battery is completely dead and it shuts the phone down in the middle of the boot. Just a guess, though.
It sounds to me like the phone might have gotten confused aobut how much battery life it actually has. You might also try getting it loaded up and then letting it drain the battery completely down. Reset the stats and then fully recharge the phone.

I have exactly the same problem, I did the reset of the battery stats and still not working.
Did you solve the problem?
thanks

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions, however, no amount of battery calibration could get it to work. Furthermore, a bad flash has made the situation even worse. Now Im bootlooping even when plugged in and when unplugged my jig is of no help. I have declared my Captivate dead.
Best of luck toominds, if you get it to work, let me know. I'd love to have a spare phone sitting around.
Okay so I used Odin to install ICS using androidauthority's meathod
it had some bugs, one of which was the "Battery Disconnected" issue, but eventually I got them worked out and used it well for a day, the battery seemed fine.
Then I plugged it in at the end of the day and got the error again.
So I tried a new ROM (SKY ICS 4.2E), no luck, I used odin and went to ICS stock and no luck. I went to the ORIGINAL stock (2.3.5 i think) and although it doesn't say "Battery Disconnected" it says "Charging..." and then it stops charging.
I tried the dial code #*#*4636*#*# and when the phone was unplugged my batter health was "good" but the moment I plug in my phone, the battery life says "dead"
I took another battery (my father has a Skyrocket too) and the same problem happened.
I tested both batteries on his phone, both were good and both charge.
I had the battery indicator issue before this, and I had a lot of problems with non-stock chargers, but no matter what I used, I still had these problems.
Is my phone just defective and I need to check my warranty, or is there a fix to this?!
I have the same problem from today, Pls can anybody help us...
Here's how you fix this
To fix this issue try removing your battery and cleaning the contact points on your battery with either a damp cloth or preferably with a magic eraser. Do not use any cleaning chemicals, just clean water. Make sure the battery is dry before putting it back into your device.
This issue is caused by residue build up on the battery contact point interrupting the connection between the battery and the device.
I hope this works for you.
Just bought a skyrocket from Ebay. After 3 days this problem happened. Now it won't even charge anymore. Should i buy a new USB port or what part is defective? Phone does not charge other battery aswell.
I think this is related to fake batteries I had the same problem when upgrading from the stock ICS that came on my phone to the stock JB.
I tried all the battery cleaning and cleaning the USB port and never could fix the "Battery Disconnected" message.
Then someone noticed the batteries were different in another thread about this problem and some people think there are fake batteries out there that are not the Samsung OEM.
I bought this battery from Amazon and it fixed my problems and am now running CM 10.2 with no problems for over a week.

Hi, so i say batteries because i already tried 3 different ones. My problem started in gingerbread when i could not charge pass 50~60%, won't even matter how much time i have it "charging", then i rooted and install the AT&T release of ICS 4.0.4, then some days later it started to won't charge pass 1% and sometimes lowers to 0% and if i disconnect turns off, and connected never charges. I have tried with different chargers also, i have tried every forum "solution", factory resetting, procedure and no luck. If i go into CWM and delete batterystats or to do anything, the phone doesn't turn off, that's weird also. I bought an external charger and charged the three batteries to full, and when i put it in the phone, android still says 1% or 0% and turns off if i disconnect.
So anybody who can help me with this, i would extremely grateful. Thanks

Must be the charger, or cable if you are using usb. Try different once and see.
get BetterBatteryStats and see if there any bad wakelocks.

Hi, yes i have bbs installed and i dont see any weird wakelocks, right now is just audio, which i read is normal. Today i get a 4th new charger and cable OEM Samsung to try, but honestly i dont think it will help.
The thing that confuses me the most, is that i charged every battery I've tried in an external charger, so the battery IS actually full, but when i put it in the phone, android still says 1% or even 0%. :crying:

Charge the battery in another phone or device, if you can. That would be the only option.
To be honest it sounds like something you may have installed or run on your phone, you said it started only a few days after upgrading to ICS which I'm guessing is how long it took you to finish restoring everything from GB.
My advice is to do a complete reset to the phone using kies, let it run for a few days with the minimal stuff you need and then start adding few apps at a time and wait to see if everything runs ok.

He can't do anything to it, no battery life, it will get stuck at flash or reset (kies) and brick.
The charger doe not charge, so he can;t even do it with the usb plugged. If he had power there are lot's of thing to test, ODIN or flash.

I'm out of warranty time now.
He said he already used an external charger and it didn't help, unless all 3 of his batteries are trash it's an issue with the phone.
He also said as long as his phone stays connected it runs fine so using kies should work I guess.
If nothing works I'd say it's some type of hardware issue and that means he will have to pay for a repair or he will have to upgrade.

Just take it to a small shop that unlocks or fixes phones, something small but nice looking, with bunch of phones for sale. Not Bestbuy or something)
They would usually ship the phone to a factory for fixing, that means they ship it to Samsung facility where some dude does work on the side.
I had my main board replaced to OEM for $190 where Rogers doing same would have charged me $420.
Your problem should not cost much, but you can;t put price on how relived you would be once it's fixed)

Hi, just to make an update, i did uninstall some stuff with root uninstaller, now the battery charges!! BUT to about 15~17%, then starts to discharge itself even connected to a charger. :crying:
So I suggest to do what I said before, start from fresh and install slowly, something must have screwed with your rom.

Would you recommend to install the stock release of ICS 4.0.4 or a custom rom? if so which is the best ?Im considering using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763195. Thank you
OK, so i installed this custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763195, the battery charges to about 19%, then starts discharging itself being connected to the charger. This is driving me crazy, i have tried so may things and nothing, been a few weeks without using the phone normally. :crying:
First go fresh stock using kies to see if the issue still persists, if it does it's probably a hardware issue. If you know someone that has a device with a battery thats works fine and it fits your device ask him to try it out so you can be certain it's your device and not all of your batteries.

Ok, i did all that i could, reinstalling stock GB 2.3.5, same problem. So im pretty sure it is a hardware issue, or possibly the 3 batteries i have are trash. I will see some place in san antonio texas, that can fix it. Thanks for the help everyone. Sadly this stuff happens, but what can you do.
PS. If someone sees this and thinks that can fix my problem ill gladly discuss payment for your work. Pm me. Thanks.
I have had my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 for around 3.5 weeks. First of all I must express how much i adored the tablet, and how my computer , tv and games consoles became obsolete. However recently, I looked into rooting the device, I eventually did after 1 week of speculating possible scenarios in my head. So i rooted it using the Clockwork Mod method, again it worked fine for a couple of days, until i was playing a game, when the battery ran dead flat. Normally this would of been ok, however when i plugged it into the official samsung ac adapter plug, it recognized it as charging, but in 12 hours it hadn't risen by 1%. I was furious, I had saved up alot of money, for a long time - for it to brake. I then tried charging via usb connection , still no luck.
I tried searching online for similar cases where they couldn't get it to charge. I didn't find any for the N8010, but for other devices. They reccomended factory resetting , to see if that would help. So.. I did that ( after finding that after 2 days it goes up by 1 %) still no luck, so my question to you is:
' Have any of you experienced similar cases with your note, and what do you suggest?'
Admittedly, I am new to this - so somewhere along the line, I had probably failed which caused this, but still any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try Odin to stock. If that doesn't work then you probably have to get it fixed
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Plug it into a usb port of your computer. This will charge though slower than your wall charger. I suggest this in case there's something wrong with the wall charger. If it charges then you know its not the tablet...
I was wondering if you had any luck with this yet? i remember back when i owned a droid x i flashed a ROM that prevented charging. If you weren't lucky enough to have a spare battery around some people ended up splitting the usb cable and connecting it straight to the battery to do a force charge. If you are up against a wall and are desperate to get it charged you can check out this guide to opening it up http://cnettv.cnet.com/cracking-open-samsung-galaxy-note-10-1/9742-1_53-50130350.html the reason i say that is because it sounds like you need to ODIN back to completely stock and then start over. You don't want to run ODIN unless you have a good charge though. I have no idea if this is good advice or not... the thought just crossed my mind when i read your situation. Take my advice for what it's worth (not much) and do so at your own risk as i accept no responsibility if you end up with a $500 paperweight.

Damn! I can get it to the same 1 % however quickly, but again I cannot charge through USB or AC adapter, both recognize as charging..
Does anyone know of a way to charge another way?
P.S. I managed to get a charge once.. after not being able to . The outcome was that it was 17% and by the time I looked at the guide again it was out of battery. I found if i completly discharge the battery, then leave it a couple of days, then charge.. it miraculously works! But I don't think that is normal.I will try that again in a last ditch chance , then i will reflash stock firmware.
I think its more of an issue with Rom which is doing that you should try reverting back to stock rom one question if you have CWM why didnt you take nanodroid backup if you would have done that it would have saved you loads of trouble.
I am not an expert of Samsung devices, but isnt there a method like we have in LG using NVFlash or Smartflash which does not require battery.
Also may be the RIL has spooked your charging volts
Mate, that's not normal. If you get it to charge, wait until its ay least 50% charged before trying to flash, though it sounds like things aren't working properly there anyway... If you get it back to stock and there's still a problem definately return it as it sounds like battery could be stuffed. Don't forget, if you haven't already, to run triangle away as you need to reset flash counter before loosing root.... Especially if you're returning under warranty....
