[Q][GT-P3100] Plugging Charger Bug - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3100) running a cm13 official. Before, it was running so well to my device but when my original charger broke it didn't.
I immediately bought a cheap charger from a Shop with no warranties. After I went home, I charged it immediately. It wasn't charged for like 12 hours so it was showing the charging icon when turned off charging. When I booted it up (note that the charger was still plugged in) it shows the booting anim. and then freezes.
Thinking that my tab was bricked or something, I wiped it, flashed the same ROM and gapps but still when booting up whil e charging, it'll froze on the boot animation.
I then changed my ROM to aokp, not minding the bug and it was running so well. (Freezing didn't occur on this ROM)But the thing is I noticed something odd about the charger. When I play DQ (Dungeon Quest) or a video on the internet, when the charger is plugged in or out, it suddenly closes the app.
Well I didn't mind about that but the time came that I got bored with AoKp and went back to Cm13 (Partially thinking that the bug is fixed) it booted up and froze on the boot anim. So I unplugged the charger and booted it up it worked like magic and I plugged it back after the animation has ended but unfortunately it freezes around 5-10 mins.
Anyone else experiencing this problem? Does anyone know some solution? Please let me know.
I don't wanna ditch this charger, there might be another solution than that.

Update:
I've just flashed another ROM called OrionOS which is currently on android 6.0.1 and the problem still exist, same as CM13.
It seems like this problem occur on Marshmallow Roms. Well I can't really say that but
I'm going to try other ROMS out.

Nexus S shows charging on the lockscreen when disconnected from charger

Hello folks,
I have a Nexus S running Stock 4.0.4 and it shows charging on the lockscreen along with the charging battery icon even after hours of being disconnected from the wall charger.
If i check under the about phone tab in settings and check under phone status, it shows discharging.
I tried wiping the battery stats and reverted to official stock ROM again after wiping everything completely from adb.
I tried moving to different versions of Android OS, namely 2.3 and 4.1.1, and it shows the same thing.
Sometimes, when i power off and power on the phone, this goes off. But when i connect th phone to the laptop, the mount SD card immediately comes up, but the phones starts charging only after a couple of seconds. And then it still shows as charging even after removing.
It looks to he hardware issue...any ideas???
clean the micro usb port with a tooth brush that should help some i have a ns that does this, it works and charges fine
I had that happen quite a bit a few months back. I haven't had it happen since switching to CM9 though. Pretty sure its just a visual bug. Reboot makes it go away.
Let me try both the things...let me clean it and comletely wipe the phone and install CM9 just to check if it works better..
One more thing....if i remove the battery and connect it after a couple of minutes. Without me powering it on, the screen wakes up and shows the charging animation even if i haven't connected to any charger.
I think you got a defective USB port..mines was like that too before...the only way is to send it back to samsung

Unless its completely different from what happened to me... its NOT defective! Mine has COMPLETELY stopped doing this behavior since being on CM9...
you shouldnt need to send it in, the phone still charges and discharges the same it maybe is some reporting bug or error or something, more than a few nexus s has had this and still work fine

No man.....havent found a solution yet...the phone charges and discharges properly...it just that it doesnt show it properly..
also i think it has something to do with my micro USB port...as when i start the transfer of files from my laptop to phone, it stops for a sec and starts again..
Hello All...i fixed the issue....i guess i was using different microUSB chargers all the time...
i noticed that the metal slab inside the microUSB slot was very close to the bottom...so i took a needle and pushed it properly towards the top...now the metal slab is exactly in the middle...and the charging crazy stopped immediately...
make sure u do it when the phone is off and the battery removed...
i figured where's the harm in doing this as Note 2 is releasing shortly
jokes apart..please bend it slowly towards the top and the issue is resolved.
Hi mate, try another kernel.

I did that...i went to stock gingerbread...then stock ICS and then to stock JB....ofcourse wiping everything through adb along the way....tried CM9 RC2 too..
the thing is even when the phone is switched off...the screen wakes up immediately and shows the charging animation...when its unplugged...
Battery charging animation even after disconnecting the charger (SOLVED)

Thanks...This tricked work for me too on my S2 this morning....I think I did not had the charger removed properly and the animation went crazy... I thought kernel related problem (I had tried TWRP version of Sammy Apolo 4.14 on freshly flashed ROM) and flashed compatible Philz kernel but did not work...I also did a dirty flash of my ROM but to no success....I switched off the phone but even when switched off, the charging animation came and went and when I tried to reboot the phone, I couldn't...So I even tried removing battery for about 5 minutes and placed it back, it finally booted but with animation still going bang bang.... and I then I went crazy...I have read about the toothbrush cleaning trick but before doing so I looked at the usb port but was not much sure what to do.. I thought it had bent a bit but after I saw your post, I immediately took out a needle and bent it slowly in upward direction and that was done ...However, I forgot to take off my battery before doing so but guys, its always safe to take it out to avoid any problems..... :good:
So the moral, please take care while using your usb port....

[INFO]Software related charging issue on S4

Hi guys,
Had a very weird issue yesterday with my Rogers S4. I have flashed a bunch of ROMS in the past, but wanted to try the new MEA firmware based ROMS..
Well yesterday i tried Mint Jelly v2.1 (flashed via TWRP) and immediately without rebooting flashed 005 FAUX kernal to avoid boot loops. My battery was about 15% at the time. The flash took, and the phone rebooted into the ROM no issues.
Noticed that when i plugged in the charger to my S4 it was NO LONGER charging. I tried multiple 2.1amp chargers, and cables, including OEM, and it no longer charged. However it charged my NOTE2 with no issues.
This is when i was about to FREAK.. but i recall from my HP Touchpad days that sometimes if the battery dies, you need to do something special to get hte phone to charge back up again.
So what i did, was completely shut down the phone, and plug it back in the charger, and it started to charge again. But immediately booting into Android, it would still no longer charge!!.. So i let it charge up for an hour wiht the power off. Once i booted in again, the phone was able to charge again normally with all my chargers while booted in.
I thought my situation was a freak incident until i noticed another XDA member report the same issue. This is NOT a hardware issue, but something related to software.. So give my advice a shot incase you encounter this yourselves!

Never flash anything or make major changes to your phone with a low battery (below 70%).
I may be the member he was talking about. I had a thread on this. Only difference was my phone wouldn't charge at all. When I plugged it in when it was off it would boot loop the charge screen. It was rooted and I had some bloat frozen, but the issue started after I installed Sugarsync. I had the same configuration for a few days with no problems, and my battery was about 50 percent when I tried to charge.

It's definitely possible and usually will work just fine. There are a couple of reasons to flash on a full battery. If something goes wrong and takes a lot longer than originally anticipated, there is less chance of the battery going dead while things are being fixed. Plus, many ROMs (Kernels actually) enact different power profiles for different stages of charge. If this is the case, flashing might not go as anticipated.

I bricked a S2 like that. Flashed a rom adn the battery drained in the process, causing it not flash properly. phone was dead, no download mode or anything.

[Q] Charger Problems on Lollipop

Hey guys,
I've noticed in the past days I'm having a weird issue on my Moto G GPE running Lollipop 5.0.1.
In order to the phone starts charging I have to reboot it everytime, unless battery level is above 60%. So basically, I've ruled out other possible causes, tried different chargers, I've cleaned the microusb port several times and nothing seems to work. Everytime the battery is below 60% charge and I plug in the charger port, nothing happens, so, I turn off the phone and immediately the screen lights up with the charging battery logo. I turn on the phone again and it is still charging. Could this be a bug or hardware related stuff? I would really appreciate any help on this because it's really annoying having to restart the phone everytime I need to charge it.
Thanks for your time lads!
Cheers!

Probably hard brick?

Hi everyone,
I've searched something with the search option but I did not find anything like my problem.
Problem is: I've a stock rom 4.4.2 on my note, but I've rooted once my tablet with a cyanogen, then I come back to a stock rom.
Yesterday it worked well. During the night I charged my note, this morning it appears only on boot logo, then I switched off to try to reboot but now it seems dead, it doesn't switch on, neither on odin or recovery mode, neither vibrate, neither charge (no logo on charging).
I've tried other cable which works 100%, and the charger of device works too (it charges my cellphone as example).
I've tried all combination of buttons (power+volume up or down or both), and nothing, the charger remains cold so doesn't charge. I think to test battery with external tester, and then I've to see if it is the battery or not.
Any other idea from you guys?
Any news on this?
Hello,
I have the same issue although I have stock firmware. On night after charging from a almost empty battery (5%) the screen didn't com back up. Totally black. The Charger seems OK and no improvement after using another charger as well. I'm interested to hear if and how this was resolved.
kr,
Arjen

Charging problem

Hello! I have my OnePlus One running one of the latest CM nightly build (20150827), and a few days ago I realised that there was a problem when I charge my phone. It seems to work well (the led puts red, the battery circle icon starts spining) but it's not charging at all. In fact when I left it alone for some hours, it has less battery than when I plugged it.
Today I reached 0% and when I plugged it the battery circle shows the lightning but it blinks between all red and all grey very fast, like if a was pluggin and unplugging it very fast. After several minutes it doesn't overtake 0%. If I disconnect it, it powers off inmediatly.
While I was writing this it suddenly got to 30%
I have tried several sources (official charger, Xiaomi power bank) and different usb cables. I've also experienced this with other nightly from a month ago (I flashed the newer to see if that works to solve it) and the problem only shows sometimes. Thank you for reading!
Sounds like a faulty usb port on the phone to me. If you're able to charge it at all you should try flashing the stock images to go back to stock, but only do this if you're able to get it to charge above 30% because of the phone powers off during the process it could brick the device.
I was just wishing it not to be a hardware problem... But if stock CM doesn't work I guess I'm opening a ticket. Let's see what happens
