My note seems to charge perfectly normally till it gets to 100% but it never seems to say "charged" until well over an hour after the counter reaches 100%!
Is this normal? Should I just ignore the "charged" text and just disconnect it when it gets to 100%?

It trickle charges the last few dregs and keeps trickle charging afterwards to keep it at 100%. This is normal. When you fill a bottle up from the tap do you leave the water going full flow? If you do you get a face full of water. This is somewhat the same with the battery but I'd prefer to have it trickle chare instead of blowing up and destroying my tablet, injuring me and possibly setting my room on fire....
ok.... we speek about strange charging behavior here, are we?
so this is my case.
i've just spot it few days ago. when my mote was plugged in i've accidentally pulled out the plug.
when i put it back in, there was a red cross on the battery. few tries later of unplugging and plugging back it didn't change. then i have waited few minutes and plugged it in again and it worked as normal then.
i've made a test next day and another day and every time i've unplugged the charger and plugged it back in, there was a red cross on the battery suggesting it is not churging. waiting few minutes unplugged before plugging it in sorted the problem.
is this a common thing or my charger or note are faulty?
It has nightmares about getting abused all day long, just like our nightmares and then awaken not really fresh . . . . .just like us?
Not kidding . . . ., my note also sometimes suffers from slowwwww charching, . . . . can't help . . . . i am wondering about it myself . . . .

Might be built in, something like unplugging a freezer and plugin it right back in and not able to restart. Maybe not.
Is it normal for the GN10 to turn the screen on when you unplug the charger. I hate when I plug my note in the night before a trip, wake up in the early morning for a flight, unplug my note, stick it in my bag and head off to the airport. When I finally pull out my note, I expect a nice full battery, but instead get a hot tablet because the screen has been on all morning.

I was away from home for 2 days and forgot my charger. Naturally the battery died.
I came home and charged the phone (plugged in the USB cable), left it for an hour or so and tried to turn it on. I got a "spinning" black and white wheel (which is actually frozen). Next comes the grey image of an empty battery which doesnt show charging (filling with green) even when the phone is plugged in. The home, back, etc. etc. buttons flash white for a moment and the phone turns off. Try again, same thing.
I thought maybe the USB wast connecting or charging so i took the battery out and charged it on an external charger which shows that it is full. Put it in, same thing.
Tried hard reset but cant complete it because samsung logo screen doesnt come on, only "empty battery" image.
Phone doesnt show up on my mac. etc. etc.
I am out of ideas...
btw no kind of water contact or dropping.
I really hope someone has another suggestion or can point me in the right direction.
Thanks for reading.
oops didnt read full post
Try going to att and use a charged battery there. Your battery may just be dead from over discharging.

thanks. i plugged it in and will let it sit for a while. i did try to turn it on as soon as i plugged it in and still saw the battery which didnt appear to be charging, but i know from previous experiance that when a phone is really dead the battery wont start it immediately even when plugged in.
thanks for the advice. my fingers are crossed
edit: ok. i'll try that also. if i can get away with just replacing the battery thats fine
this happened to me several times as well. My fix was easy.
Plug it in and forget about it for an hour. Unplug it, power it up, plug back in as soon as you see it start to boot. Should boot and charge.
I don't know why, but when its DEAD dead DEAD, it won't boot while its plugged in, nor will it show charging.
I hope that helps!

Thank you for the advice. I am happy to know someones dealt with this before and I am not the only one.
I just want to be sure. When you say that it starts to boot up, do you mean the samsung logo or the b/w wheel with empty (grey) battery image?
I tried to plug in the USB when the empty batt. was showing but it didnt seem to respond. Also I am wondering, when it finally connects do you still just let it charge or do you fully boot it up? Also does the battery show that it was keeping a charge from the first hour you left idle or does it only start to keep the charge after youve done this process?
Sorry for all the questions. This is just a bit for me....
update: OMG! just plugged it and instead of an empty batt. it was 90% green! phone still shut off again but i am very hopeful something is going on. I am going to keep messing around
update2: thank you so so much. This finally worked. saved me a considerable amount of money and untold grief. Basically I followed your directions in hyper mode. Power on, USB (in/out/in/out/in/out), phone shuts off, immediately power on again, etc., etc., until it worked.
Thank you.
FYI, a proper charger (instead of a PC's USB port) will cause the device to go into a higher-current charging mode that MIGHT have behaved better.
You can only charge your phone when its off on stock. Being in a rom it will reboot hence your frozen spinner and grey battery. Try it now that your battery is fully charged a d it will just reboot.

just had the same problem tonight, but when I pulled out the battery it had a fried electronics smell in the battery
Same thing happened to me driving home from Thanksgiving break. I've come to the conclusion that if you flash a non Samsung from then you have to have the infuse on to charge. Even with a dead battery I managed to get the infuse on, then immediately shut the screen off for about 30 sec before proceeding to quickly turn setcpu into power save mode before shutting screen off and leaving it off for a few hours. Should veeerryyy slowly but surely charge (stupid samsung ..... takes forever to charge and there are times when the battery goes down in heavy CPU apps or when on 4g, I noe its safer that way but its not like I'm going to have that phone for the next 5 years)

So glad I found this. My wife's "Infused" Infuse was "acting weird" according to her. Said there was a weird "DOS" like screen for a second, then the dead/grey battery logo. Take bat out and put back in. Nothing. Plug in and start up and it either goes from the Samsung logo to off, and repeat that, or show the Dead/Grey battery thing again. Well, tried the turn on while unplugged, and immediately plug in, and it started up. Even said the batt was 96% charged! Really confusing. So are there any other ROMs usable on this thing? Infused is OK, but man, just not nearly as good as my N1 running CM7.
Thanx again for the tip!

everything in development is.... obviously. Also, do make sure your read everything first lol it can really help you and other people at the end.
I got the infuse for me and the wife in early December. After the initial charge she used hers for about a day and half then tried to charge it.
Nada.
Tried different USB cables, swapped batteries. Turned out the USB port died. Talk about a PIA!!!
Best buy swapped it out no problem and let me keep all the stuff in the old box.
Hi Guys,
I need thought my own Sky would give me problems since i take care of it so well :crying:
So last night i put the phone on my night table to charge, it had 9% battery left and the phone beeped since i plugged the charger and it was charging, now in the morning when i realize i'm late for work, i went to check my phone and it was dead(no alarm this morning). It was all plugged in still the charger and battery. Now i got to work and a work partner has a Sky too, i tested his battery on my Sky and nothing, tested my battery on his Sky and worked so my battery is fine(it was 100%), i tested my charger on his Sky and charged, i tested his charger on mine and nothing.
Tried plugging the phone with only usb cable to the pc without battery to reach download mode or recovery but nothing.
Now since our batteries are fine and chargers, im assuming my motherboard died which i was thinking if the battery would work it was going to be the charging port.
Is there a way to test each part of the phone o be more accurate about this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Can you get into download, recovery? Any vibration on long press power button? What rom was it on.. How long? Etc. Need a bit more info.

The phone won't do anything at all, i have fixed Sky's power button before and this is really weird. Stock Rom/Kernel, it was Android 4.1.2 and i have it for like 1year and 6 months.
If you need anything else let me know.
One more thing that could help, lately i noticed that the phone wasn't charging as fast as usual.I installed the Skyrocket charging app and when i plugged the charger to the phone it would say Fast Charge A/C 900~ mA and after like 30 seconds it would go down to 800, 700, 600 and then say Charger Wakelock 500~ mA.
Im really starting to think my board died.
Dead board. It happened to me on another Samsung phone a few weeks go. Came home from a day of fun. Put phone on table and plugged it in. Went to bed. Woke up to a completely non responsive phone. Got a new battery just in case. Still nothing. It was a great phone too. Oh well at least it died in it's sleep. lol
it happened to my sons s2 i9100, went to charge it and when he went back to it and it was dead, got it repaired under ext. warranty but cant find invoice on what they fixed if they even stated what they fixed, my guess mobo

Had this happen once or twice. It turned out that the usb port on the bottom of the phone had some junk that accumulated in there as well as some signs of minor corrosion, and was not making a good connection anymore. It just needed to be cleaned out. First, I think I just (very carefully) used a needle or safety pin or something like that to gently extract the lint/dust/crap out of the port, and then cleaned up the metal connectors in the port, and one of the back inside corners where I saw a little bit of green/white build up, with a little bit of isopropyl alcohol. I let it sit for a little bit to make sure it was dry and when I plugged it in, it started charging again. I happened to have an Optivisor lying around which made it a bit easier to see what I was doing, but it isn't necessary. The most annoying part was getting a small, focused beam of light from a flashlight into the port at just the right angle, and then figuring out how to keep it there while I worked. Shouldn't take long, and as long as you don't do something really dumb, it can't hurt to give it a try.
Except that he ruled that out by swapping batteries with his friends phone.

Hello,
So I was playing around flashing roms from here last night, and I was able to load up a rom that I liked, and get it configured to my liking. I noticed while doing that the phone started to get really hot. I didn't think anything of it, and left it on the charger and went to bed. This morning I woke up and the phone has a blinking red light. I did some Googling and it said that it was a completely drained battery. So I put it back on the charger and now the phone was able to boot back up, it says charging, but it is just at 0% and it doesn't seem to go anywhere from there (plugged in via computer) any ideas?

Revert to stock and see if it still acts like this?
A friend of mine had the same blinking red led.
Turned out the battery was completely drained.
After charging it for a while it was fine again.

Yup! It was drained, and it wasn't charging when I posted this when I had it plugged into my computer.
I put it on the wall charger and left it set for a few minutes, and then it showed up at 7% so I'm really relieved I didn't brick my phone. I just don't get why it didnt charge last night, I know I plugged it in...

Yeah that's strange behavior. My dad was playing a game on his N7 which was hooked up to his PC when it suddenly died.
Scared the hell out of him, turned out it hadn't been charging through USB for some reason, or maybe not enough.
Weird about last night. Maybe it wasn't plugged in completely. Have you tried the same socket? Maybe it's dead.

The computer charges android devices really slowly. When you're playing a game, it will drain faster than it charges, especially if you charge it by a PC/Mac and not a main power source

Blinking Red light??
Dnt worry this indicates that your phonr is just on the verge of its battery
just keep plugged in in for few minutes
now the light will stop blinking and you will get the battery level icon on your screen
Hope this helps you :angel:

But this never happened to me ealier while using a charger,Today i used just a cable to charge it and i behaved so.Is it because the charge it was getting was less to sustain or do i need to get it checked ?
i have this problem too i evan had it charged for an hour and a half and still no nothing evan started it up on the charger and it still does it i dont know what to do
Is the led still blinking after 1.5 hours on the charger? Maybe try a more powerful charger? Different USB cable?
The USB cable and charger that came with the phone is what I would start with to charge the phone.

Just had the same problem after not charging the phone for 10 months (broke while I was travelling). Just got it working after I ordered and installed a screen replacement from Alibaba. Needed to try 3 different USB Cables.
Maybe just a different USB cable would have solved the problem?
Charging via a computer is the last thing to do. The output is so low.
Hi guys,
I'm having the same problem. My phone has been charging for about twelve hours now and it still won't turn on. I tried using different outlets, but not a different charger since I only have one (original one) and my friends phone did charge with that charger. I also tried pressing the power- and volume button at the same time, but still nothing. Everytime I take my phone out of the charger and plug it in again, the red light starts blinking for a while but then it dies off and nothing happens anymore. Does anyone have anymore tips?
Thanks
Sounds like the battery needs to be replaced or you need a more powerful charger.
i've got this problem except anytime a charging cable is connected, the phone powers on and off continually as if the power button is stuck. tried swapping batteries with a spare n5 i have with a cracked screen and bad IMEI (lousy ebay purchase), made no difference. same thing occurs even with battery disconnected. there's no way to boot into recovery. the red LED blinks when the phone powers off momentarily. tried various cables to charge, multiple locations. any ideas?
Saved me!!
Saved my nexus 5, i love this phone and don't want to lose it even after three years passed way!
thankyou brother you nailed it.

Hi Guys,
I have a tablet that my boss gave me today to 'fix'. The problem that it is having is that it isn't turning on, nor does it appear to be even charging. He said he used it until it was dead, then plugged it in overnight to charge, but when he tried it this morning, it wouldn't turn back on. I've had it for about two hours now, plugged into an outlet (the plug is a bulky black 2pronged adapter with samsung written on the side and I have a usb 3.0 plug). I tested the charger out on my Galaxy S5 and it started charging without any problems, so that tells me that the charger is working.
After 2 hours of supposedly charging, when I press power nothing happens. When I press the home button, nothing happens. I read on here that some were having really slow charging times, but I figured after two hours, there should be at least enough power to show the little batter logo on the screen during charging. Now, though, since that indicator doesn't even show up, I'm starting to think maybe I should just take it back to VZW. I was looking at the back of the device to see if it had a removable back cover and maybe resetting the battery would fix it, but I didn't see an indention where you can pull the cover off at (like on the note or my s5).
Any suggestions?
2 hour are not so much, if you used not the original charger. Let it on the charger for around 12 hour and try again - disconnect charger, reconnect again if you can see something...
Plug it in, keep the power button pressed for at least 30 seconds. See if that starts it up.
Hi.
You might try getting an usb volt- & ampere-meter off ebay. They're about 10 bucks or so.
It'll tell you if the tablet is drawing power at all.
Regards
Elo

I received my lg urbane 2 yesterday and I noticed the battery life was extremely poor. I charged it up last night then turned it off and unplugged the watch. It lost 20 percent of its battery life while it was off at night. I was using it today and about an hour ago it was at 20 percent so I plugged it into my power brick. In about an hour the watch was at 35 percent but was blazing hot. I turned it off and let it cool for about 15 minutes. Once it was fairly cool. I attempted to power it on. It wouldn't turn on. I plugged it in and it booted up. It was then completely out of power. I let it charge for another 15 minutes then turned it off again. I just tried to power it on and it was dead! I'm now charging on a computer usb and it is still very hot. What should I do?

have you tried factory reset? You can do that, by un-pairing your Watch to your phone, via the watch or Android Wear App on your phone.
You might have a bad unit.
You might want to return it during the 14 day period if a reset does not work.
What you describe does not sound normal.

I reflashed it the day I got it. Luckily It works great now! Since it was overheating I ran it under some water and once I got home I plugged it in and haven't had a problem since.

Thank you for taking the time to reply luckily I fixed the issue. It appears to have been caused by using my one amp battery brick. It overheated it and caused it to bug out. Once it was cooled it started working like a charm

Hey guys, I have the issue where my w200 failed to charge overnight and would vibrate twice on the Android Wear boot animation and shut down, now it won't even turn on after being on charge via wall adapter or PC USB port, any suggestions would be appreciated before I go through the tedious warranty process as I'm in Australia and the device was purchased via expansys out of Korea.

Take a pencil eraser and lightly rub the electrical contacts on the watch. I had that charging problem with my LG watch Urbane 2 LTE after working out with it on. I suspected it might be a sweat issue, perhaps a film of dried salt, that caused enough resistance to keep the watch from recharging & so I took a Zeiss lens cleaning wipe to it. But that didn't fix it. Complaining to a friend, he said when he had a similar problem trying to charge his Bluetooth earpiece, he fixed it by just taking a pencil eraser and rubbing the brass charging connector dots on the earpiece. I did that on my watch and normal charging resumed.
Usually the problem is not with a battery. Try to clean the contacts with a lasting (pen eraser) both on the charger and on watches itself.
