Dear All,
Your help and your comments are kindly requested in order to solve this issue which has been plaguing me for months-
My Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-9005 is in proper working condition and the battery functions fine. I have been using it for almost a year and a half now. However, I am unable to charge the phone when it is switched on and can only charge when it is switched off (grey battery indicator with charging sign flashes on screen and phone vibrates every 10 seconds). I was told that it is a problem with the USB charging port and got that replaced but the problem still persists. I have even cleared my cache and rebooted my phone, and that didn't help. I am confused whether this is a software or hardware problem. As the phone is charging when switched off I am assuming that the hardware is fine. However, I am also thinking that the hardware is screwed maybe because the phone is not able to simultaneously charge and power the device. So I was thinking if getting a wireless charging pad option will work? Any idea if this is a viable option or if there are any other options that will help? Factory reset maybe?
Looking for your help on this guys. I really don't want to replace this mobile!!

Hey everyone, would really nice some help here, I are galaxy note 3, just installed a note 5 port (Darklord) rom on it.
Everything is working great except the fact that the phone every once and while signs that it is charging while not being plugged in, it goes off every 1-3 seconds and repeat.
This doesn't happen all the time and I cannot relate it anything.
I have tried taking off the battery.
Tried draining the battery and charging it full before starting the device.
This has happen in 2 previous versions as well.
I couldn't find anyone else with the same problem and because I am new I cannot post to the roms thread.
I know my other option is to change rom but this is so good I am willing to endure this bug.
Does anyone has an idea how to solve this? or just take away the indication that the phone is charging in general (solve the symptom not the problem)
Thanks in advance

Hey there,
I'm wondering if there may be a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S6 and I wanted to get some opinions before I try one last thing and fully reset it.
I've had the phone since April last year and for some reason the battery life has never really been good anyway. This isn't the main reason I am posting though as only recently I noticed a different issue when I tried to transfer some files onto the phone.
I was trying to use the cable that comes with the phone to charge it, and I've done so before when I've transferred files before from my Macbook. However, that time before I also found it very difficult to detect the phone and kept having to unplug it and plug it back in before it would see it. I was using the software Android File Transfer. Last night I could literally not get it to see my phone whatsoever... I plugged it into the computer and it would charge but it literally could not detect a connected device.
So here's where it gets frustrating as I spent the next two hours trying to fix this issue. I tried searching for a solution online which is why I'm now here after everything as all that I tried didn't work. I tried switching to SmartSwitch (and uninstalled AFT first), but that program also didn't detect my phone. Then I tried Airdroid, which worked only when I used the file upload under the browser but refused to connect to the phone when I clicked it on My Devices.
I even tried the method of *#0808# but it was actually already set to the correct settings so now I'm completely at a loss as to what it could be.
I've previously also had issues where I've plugged in the phone and it hasn't started fast charging and I haven't realised for an hour that it's only been cable charging and had to plug it back in for it to recognise it... is this likely a problem with the phone or cable?
I mean, aside from the also frustrating battery issues which have been worsening as time goes by (currently phone is on 79% having only used 39m screen time), I'm not sure whether it's time to give the phone a reset before actually taking it in to the store or whether it's likely an issue with the connector port at the bottom too which means it's probably not worth the hassle of resetting?
I won't go too much into the battery issues here, but I've been trying to use Greenify, App Optimisation, literally EVERYTHING I can think of, and I still don't get any more than 4 hrs and a half screen time.
My phone is not rooted. (though I'm wondering whether rooting it may help me). Thanks and I hope you have some advice that may resolve my issues!
I have the same issue.. muy phone won't charge unless otra on the wireless charging port
I have the SAME issue. I really don't know how to fix it!
Hmmmm sounds like your charging port is starting to go either that or maybe you could try flashing some new software through Odin and hope that's it's a software issue and as for the battery of course rooting does help bc it lets you get rid of the bloatware on the phone either that or try package disabler pro.
I updated my (factory unlocked) S6 to Marshmallow 6.0.1 and for two days it worked just fine. Then suddenly the fast charge stopped working. when i open notifications it says: cable charge, 5 hours until full charge. I tried everything, i have 2 original adaptive fc samsung chargers and none of them works. plus an aukey fast charging external battery, but when i connect my phone it keep saying cable charge. i pushed the usb into the charger, i turned on the fast charging option in settings, tried different cables. then i tried to connect it to my pc, but it doesnt recognizes my phone, and neither does the Mini MicroSD Card Reader that worked just fine before the update. I did a hard reset, but it wont work. im thinking maybe something (hardware) broke in the second day after the update, idk. i remember conecting the phone at night before going to sleep to an iphone cube with the battery at 90%, but that wont explain why my pc doesnt recognise it. I NEED HELP, PLZ
Just a thought: did you enable fast charging option from the battery menu ?
Please read again
it clearly says i turned on the fast charge option in settings
"5 hours until full charge"
something else is wrong here

Why? How do you know? What do you think its the problem?
the weird thing is that when I connect the s6 to the wall charger it pops up the "connected as a media device" that should appear when connecting to a computer. AND when I connect it to the computer it doesnt appear, so I cant move files, etc.
I have the same issue! I know for a fact that it started right after I charged my phone a little on my friend's car charger. I have charged my phones on his charger in the past and have never had issues. It's almost like the phone got scared and locked itself down (stopped transmitting and recieving USB data, therefore not recognizing fast charger or mtp). I have been searching this issue for a while, but have not been able to find a solution. There are lots of people out there that have this problem! I have called Samsung, but they barely even wanted to talk to be because it is the unlocked variant (sm-g920i). Honestly at this point I would be willing to pay them maybe $50 to fix it. It's ridiculous! And I suspect that it is just their dumbass firmware that screwed me over!
I also suspect that is the firmware, but i have searched everywhere and the only ones that could fix it did it by changing the usb port (therefore it was a hardware problem). The ****ty thing is that this phone is too difficult to open, and too dangerous, i dont dare to do it myself, but i neither trust anyone who isnt samsung... so.. i think im just going to sell it and buy anotherone, or idk.. if you can solve the problem please let me know. I'll really appreciate it. (Sorry for bad english)
you might want to try clear both daavik cache and cache.
. I had a similiar problem, that seemed to clear it up.
to clear the dalvik cache i have to root it, and i dont want to in case i have to take it to samsung because maybe if i root it i will loose the warranty. and i already cleared all the other caches like 5 times, i dont know what to do anymore. thank you for the reply, if you know of anything else I can try...
I can confirm that it is not hardware related. I have replaced the board containing the USB port, but am still having the same issue!
And have you found a firmware/software solution to the problem? what's exactly your issue? the same as mine? no fast charge and not connecting to pc?
I also have the same problem, since wiped the device with paper and sometimes back fast loading, however the transfer via USB does not work. I believe it is software problem.
Yesterday I noticed that my data cable connects via download mode by odin, or as may be hardware if odin recognize?
guys,i got a galaxy s6 edge and i had a fast charging issue and i've checked all common solution like changing cables,chargers,even changed the socket but same issue exits my mobile charging in 6 hours and when i go to fast charge option in menu it turned on and at the moment of connecting the cable to automaticly turn off with no choise to turn it on again,any one please knows how so solve??
Alright, if you're suggesting anything but manual labour, I don't think you can help me here. But I will try anything to get this junk running again.
Long explanation:
I have acquired a Samsung Galaxy S6 that is dead and non-functioning from one of my relatives in the hope that I could potentially fix it. He even let me keep it if I could find a way to fix it, so this a chance I don't get too often!
Anyways, this is a classic case of "Left it charging overnight, died in the morning" cliché, so I doubt this is anything to do with software, hence the need for a hardware solution.
The only complication with this situation is that the USB is mashed to a state of eternal unfixable limbo.
Someone yanked the charger in too hard and mashed it, although I doubt this was the problem, since the phone lived a good few months after it had broken.
So, the only way to charge it is to use the wireless pad that was also bought with it, which leaves me with the problem that I can't even check if it connects and turns on at all.
The actual problem summary:
- Unit is non-functional, it will not turn on under any circumstances
- I have tried all the button-holding combinations and it has failed to assist
- I don't know if this means anything or not, but when I put the device onto the charging pad, the charging pad recognises that the phone is there and (what I can only assume) it starts charging the phone, since the phone also gets warm after a while
- I have confirmed (with my working S6) that the charging pad is not at fault here
HOWEVER, there is a speckle of hope.
When trying to mess with all the button combos, I had managed to get the phone to light up the notification LED (white), which I automatically know means there is a hardware fault BUT the circuitry is still able to power and detect the fault. I took the phone off the pad shortly after and the light went out, interestingly green and blue going out first and the red coming off a few moments later.
So, I just need some pointers on how the charging pad and the phone's charging circuitry works in order to *attempt* to fix this dead unit.
I'll be honest; I'm not really hopeful, but I'm open to suggestions, After all, I already have an S6. If the other one ended up working, I'd sell it on eBay for £50.

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy XCover 3, model SM-G389F, purchased in March 2018.
The Phone suddenly no longer charges or does it badly, I leave it charging overnight and the next day it continues with the same percentage of the Battery it had. Charging the phone off, in 10-20 minutes it suddenly stops charging and the battery icon disappears.
If I charge it on, after 10 or 20 minutes of charging, the phone is switched off by itself and stops charging inexplicably!
It is not a problem of cables, chargers or USB input, I have already checked everything, and it is the second Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3 SM-G389F mobile model that I have with exactly the same problem. Maybe it is a problem specific of this model.
I wanted to know if this is a software problem, and if I could solve it for example by reinstalling the factory ROM.
Or if it is a hardware problem, if Samsung could repair it under warranty or at any mobile phone repair service.
Please, I needed urgent help, I am traveling, and it is the only smartphone that I have and I cannot charge it.
Thank you so much.
Kind Regards.
