Hey there I need a little help. I recently got a Note 10.1 and I flashed Redemption Rom with CWM. Seemed to work just great until yesterday I noticed that it does not charge when plugged into the wall or a computer. If I plug it into the computer it will recognize it and I can transfer files etc, but it doesn't charge. Also when the charger is plugged in the screen acts funny most things are unresponsive to touch, when the screen is locked and charger plugged in I can't even unlock it. I can poke the screen but not unlock. If I unplug the charger it works just fine.
Has anyone experienced this problem with the GT-N8013 before or have any suggestions? My initial thought was to go back to stock firmware and see what happens, but with only 20% battery power I am scared I may not have enough. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Progress....

Well I have been messing with it a little while at work here and I think the base of the charger has gone bad. If I use the base from my Samsung phone and plug the USB cord from the 10.1 to that it will acknowledge that I plugged it into the wall but a red X will appear over the battery icon. I powered it down and plugged it in and nothing happened right away, then I just let it sit and now I notice that the battery/charging animation appears and from what I can tell it appears to be charging. I will power it on after a while and see what it says for %.
Figured it out, it was the wall adapter, turns out the outlet I plug it into was faulty and it fried the charger.

How did you figure out that it was the charger that was bad? I am having the same issue with my note.

I picked mine up on Thursday and charged it to 100% with the supplied charger and cable, installed the 4.1 system update and used it throughout the following day watching video and general playing. I had it plugged in whilst I was using it and noticed it discharging, odd I thought as it should at least have maintained its charge but after my battery level dropped to 19% on that evening I turned it off completely and left it overnight, this morning it had only charged a further 20%. It has to be a firmware issue as its the only thing thats changed since I first charged it fully without any issues (first charge on 4.0 took approx 3 hours from unboxing).
It needs a 5 volt 2.O Amp Charger to charge properly. IF the adaptor that plugs to the wall isn't putting out enough power it won't work properly. Also could be a bad wire.

I have a Galaxy Tab 7.7 6810 on 4.0.4 stock rom (but rooted) and for entire last year nearly could charge it via USB cable off my PC and always charged up to 100%. Then suddenly a month of so ago, I noticed USB cable no longer charges the Tab 7.7 and would eventually drain down to low battery warning.
So i started using provided AC charger and it would charge to 100%. But past week or so it would only charge for around 10-15 minutes regardless of hitting 100% full charge ? So if i see 77% full, plug in AC charger it will stop charging around 85% ?
Just noticed using USB cable now results in a red X next to notification battery icon ?
Any ideas ?

Suggest you try another cable and charger if available. Also, searching the thread provides other actions you can take to reset battery if necessary.

Also, if you consistently use the same AC outlet, try a different location. If you are rooted with CWM, clear battery stats.

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!

I hope its just the USB plug m8. I'm suffering without my S6

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.........................

Hello,
I have been using for some time a S5 charger to charge my S6 phone and today, I found my S6 charger (quick charge) and while the S6 was charging I disconnected it briefly from the outlet and changed the old one with the S6 charger.
It gave me an error and the phone started vibrating after a while and then turned off, I didn't know what happened so I turned it on back again and it had 50% of the battery and I used the phone normally until now, only problem is, the phone won't charge anymore.
I did a factory reset just in case and a backup of all my data. So, you guys got any ideas on what the problem could be?
O have similar problem, the phone doesn't charge. Charging paused. Battery temperature is too low.
Any suggestions?
I want to ask why did you even bother charging with a S5 charger? Everyone that have S6 know that it is bad to use not original S6 charger and cable because it makes problems.
Is it charging through an USB port on computer?
I think the port doesn't work anymore because I am actually charging the phone wireless and it works.
hi
i rebooted my s6 and it does not want to charge anymore
when i power it off and plug the charger in it only shows the grey battery icon with a flash on it and then it disappears . it dosent charge
if the phone is on and i plug the charger it still dosent charge
any help is appreciated
thanks in advance
My phone is acting strange with the charger last 3 days, sometimes charges just when plugged in pc via cable. I need to charge it with the wireless charger. Maybe is software bug because i flashed latest software from sammobile.
