Can't charge after updating to JB

Hello,
This is the first time I am using Android so please understand that I know basically nothing about it.
So I received a refurbished note 10.1 (software 4.0.4) with about 50% of battery left. I played with it like 3 hours and then updated to 4.1.1 (or 4.1.2), battery went down to like 10% so I plugged the charger in and kept playing. After further 30mins I realised my battery still goes down (8%). I had a quick look in Google and many people are saying that after updating to JB tablet takes very long time to charge or doesn't charge at all. I thought mine will charge slowly so I left it overnight plugged in. I woke up with 7%...
I tried charging it with a USB cable connected to a TV, in the first hour it charged to 8 and after that (about 3h) it stayed the same.
So the question is: Is it the charger, software or is it just a faulty tablet?
What I would like to try is to downgrade it back to 4.0.4 but I am not sure how to do that (or if it is safe) with such low battery level. Is it possible to downgrade when tablet is off?
Thank you

Factory reset or reflash the firmware JB you flashed .
But i would return to the seller has you have no evidence JB is the problem as you only had the tablet 3 hours .
Flash any firmware via Odin min requirements 30% battery to be safe .

Have you tried charging from an actual power outlet I don't believe that you can charge them via tv, pc or any other device only via an actual power outlet.
As far as roling it back to ics I believe you would have to flash it but don't take my advice on that one, maybe someone else could advise?
Also no I would upgrade or down grade firmware without a fully charged battery.
I found that mine was charging worse after jb update I actually factory reset it and its a tiny bit better, I still find though that if I want to charge it fast its best to turn it off and let it charge, I also noticed that the biggest culprit for draining the battery atleast on my device is Skype just having it running in the background drains it heaps.

Yeah.. but what if I can't charge it?
Can I factory reset (I believe that's via recovery mode?) when battery is almost dead?

I left it charging the whole night using the included charger (It looks like an original one) and as I said it only dropped by 1% (tablet was off the whole process)
From what I know it does charge through TV's and stuff but it just is a lot slower.
And I have no apps running, wifi off, gps off - everything off. RAM cleared
// After about 3 hours of charging through a TV it went up by 1%...
I left it charging through a TV because if a normal AC didn't help I thought it may be something to do with the charger.

Factory reset is in settings under personal heading its the backup/reset tab obviously make sure you back up your stuff first or you will loose it, this won't role it back to ics but might help. Also I have never found that any of my android devices charge via another Device only wall outlet they do maintain the power level there at but don't really charge.
Do you have another ac adapter I youncould use to test with try a different ac adapter if possible.

charging cable likely cause
I have had very bad luck with factor Samsung cables.. I would Use a different usb cable and wall plug usb brick.. make sure its output is equal to or above the original Samsung charger .
This is likely why the device was returned to begin with. As most of us know refurb devices are usually just open box customer returns. Often are just factory reset and resold .

It might work check the voltage to see if its the same and use your usb cable, they use mini usb I believe. Thats the other thing the usb cable that you using might be stuffed. The cable on galaxy tab 7 looks 100% but it doesnt work at all, as erica_renee said samsung chargers aren't the greatest.
I use a Belkin charger much stronger than samsung original

From what I've read, one review says that there is no way to use a S3 charger. + it has 1A
Apparently note uses different pin configurations..
I have no idea what to do now... :<
What about finding a galaxy tab charger?

Galaxy tab charger will work I have and I just use it for both without any problems, you could go to tandy electronics or radio shack depending on what country your in they might have somethingcheap that might work or the might be able to test the one your got to see if its actually working

Right, before I get one, at the moment Im trying to use iPhone charger with the standard samsung cable. I showed a red cross (what I would expect it to show). I then tried to hold the volume up while plugging it in (Ive read on one forum that it helps, not sure what it does but worth trying) and it jumped up by 1% - no red cross now... I have no idea what Im doing or why no red cross is visible.. ehh
//edit:
Guys.. this is working!
Another 1% in 15 mins.. It may not be much but believe me, Ive been waiting for that 1% for a long time
I'll give an update soon
//
Further 15-20 mins and it increased by 2%. Well, yay! I guess

Not good where did you get it, does it have warranty make em fix it and give you another charger

Hi all,
last night my n8000 stop charging. ..
I even tried the different chargers and also tried to charge thru pc...
When I connect with charger the beep sound come but nothing more and cross sign appears on battery icon.. and worst of all my n8000 not even recognized by pc even...
Any idea ?
EDIT : changed the cable and everything returns to normal

Yes, return under warranty... This is not right. It sounds like the usb connector might have a problem...

[Q] battery fully drained and phone isn't charging or powering on

My Moto G which I bought from Saudi Arabia 2 days ago before coming back to Egypt for good has the following scenario:
Note: I'm using the original moto g charger "500 mah" that came in the box with my phone.
1st 100% charge overnight, then lasted almost 14 hrs.
2nd overnight charge, only did 95% "even tho it was plugged for 7-8 hrs" and lasted 7 hrs before battery go to zero level and device shut down.
when my phone shut down, it got stuck at the coma status, I tried every method mentioned in this post but the "waiting till the next day method" and nothing did work.
methods I used: freezer, fridge, 18 sec power on, 1 minute power on, 2-3-4 minutes power on and even the exact method on Motorola website and that method one member suggested to blug in the headphone while trying to power on or charge.
chargers I used with every method: Moto G 500 mah, Alcatel 550 mah, Galaxy Tab 7 2ah and Blackberry USB cable on computer.
result, nothing! phone still dead, and i can't return it cause I'm in a different country now and we don't even have it yet here.
my Moto G is 16GB, dual sim and running stock Kit Kat 4.4 which is available for the phone. no modified roms or any other dev setting was applied, the phone wasn't rooted. it's just like out of the box, few apps installed "some of them are downloaded from the internet" and stock upgraded to kit kat.
before hitting the zero level, the phone was charged for few minutes on a samsung charger, most probably it's for a note 3. when it went off I tried a car charger "bleackberry" for few minutes which gave me 3 pulse led white notification and nothing else.
I guess this shouldn't be related to the situation, but I'm using a data sim as sim 2 for internet and sim 1 for calls only. phone internet is running on H+ most of the time, 3G the if not H+.
I'm going to wait till tomorrow and try again, hopefully it works. but if anyone got any ideas or solutions PLEASE go on and reply with it even if you're not sure or if it's a crazy idea out of the box.
I only used the phone for 2 days :crying: I had VERY high expectations for this phone :crying:
(Update 1) I left the phone unplugged for 12 hours, plugged it in the 550mah charger for 2-3 hours, pressed the power button 1-2-3 minutes and no results still. also motorola Asia didn't reply to my email yet.
(Update 2) I unplugged the battery and put it back on, still nothing. some guy told me to connect it to a box and restore the software back to Jellybean and that the box should be capable of booting the phone up. will try that and refer back to you.

I really hope you find a solution for this, since I'm an Egyptian too who is interested greatly in moto g and may take the plunge of buying it from amazon, this really freaks me out.
I haven't read all the posts in the other topic on this subject but from what I read on other websites and could be mentioned before, you can try the following:
Plug a higher mAH charger (suggested 850 for example or 5V 2A charger) as it was probably with your blackberry car charger, then hold the power button for 2 minutes, If the LED blinks keep it charging for 10 minutes.
No idea If it would work or not of course.

I did so

Thank you bro, I know u get the whole pic.. I did actually try the car charger for almost 30-40 minutes but nothing.. only 3 blinks and that's it.. it didn't even keep the led on for few seconds,, just the 3 blinks and when I tried to turn it on, nothing!
btw, from the past 2 days, it's a great phone.. only this issue.. also the official kit kat update is a poor one, missing a lot of features but works GREAT on the phone.. u can get the phone from UAE or KSA.. the 16GB dual sim card is being sold for 900AED or 900SAR which is actually a TRUE bargain. also the charger u get with the phoneis 500 mah, so you better use another one that can charge faster cause this one is REALLY slow. you can use up to 1500mah
hopefully tho i get a decent reply from motorola for this issue.. no high hopes tho since it's not available in Egypt. :crying:

Yes, the price to value ratio for the moto g is incredible, it's really unfortunate that it wasn't/won't be released in Egypt.
Well, If I were you I would have tried the only suggestion remaining: to leave the phone for 24 hours without plugging it in or trying to power it on, then attempt again to charge it the next day. I really wish you luck in fixing this.
In the meantime, I will keep looking for any other suggestions and If I find any I will post here.

yeah!

that's actually what I'm doing, I've unplugged the phone and will re-plug it again when I wake up in 10-11 hrs..
and Ma'mon, check you private msg inbox..

I was thinking of buying this
I really need a Android Kitkat phone that isn't too expensive, I saw the Moto G and thought about buying one but if this happens then I wont

i guess.

well, the phone is amazing, really fast and good in every way except few things, some basic not very important features are missing and this drained out not charging issue.
on this post everyone was able to fix their issue, except me.. so it seem fixable 99% and u can also skip this issue if u simple shut down your phone when it reach 3-4% and turn it on again when the charger is there.. i guess.
btw, I had an S4 LTE before the moto g, and I'll never pick the S4 again. i enjoyed the moto g more and the S4 sucked in many ways like over heating and battery life time which was 6-7 hrs and the cheap housing materials "screen cracked when had a slight fall and fixing it was half the price of a new S4"

Im having the same problem as you, i tried every method as you. The 24hours method i havent fully tried it yet. I left it for 24 hours and when i plugged it in the charger I still have the same problem. The people in motorola told me to leave it for 2-3 hours on charge and that's what exactly what im doing. I will get back to you if anything happens.

I did that

Motorola should test the battery's before shipping a phone

I faced the same problem once. When I plugged it to charge it's battery was about 80%. Then suddenly it went to 0% and it was automatically shut down. After charging it further 30 miss, it was still 0%. I turned it off, after removing back cover I pressed battery a little. Turned it on and the problem was solved. It happened 10 days back and never again. I am totally satisfied with moto g. It's a great phone.

-connect your phone to a charger
-hold the power button for 2-3min (led should blink few times)
-leave the phone connected for 1hour
-unplug it and hold the power button for 20-30 seconds and it should turn on.

I agree with you it's a great phone, i really liked it the 2 days i had it working.
I didn't try pressing the battery, but I've sent it to a local mobile shop to unplug the battery and plug it in again, hopefully it work. thanks tho for the advice.

**Device in hand, observations**Wireless Charging constantly pausing and making sound

Hi there,
So just some observations...
When I use the wireless charging pad (TYLT VU) the phone will constantly BEEP BOOP and the screen turns on to say wireless charging paused it will then turn off after a few seconds.
I've read in other forms this could be due to overheating etc.... but in touching the phone it's not hot.
This is annoying... And... no current fix I can find to stop it.

Borrow another wireless charger (or go to a Starbucks or something) to see if it's the device.
If not, you might have a damaged charging pad.

I've been getting a lot of "wireless charging paused" messages as well. I have my phone on my desk, streaming audio, and it occasionally turns on and that messages comes up, and then it immediately starts charging again...hmmm...

I have 8 pads around my house, all the Nokia D900s that they gave away with the Lumia 920s. Last night I experienced this for about... 15 seconds or so. I readjusted the phone and it worked fine thereafter. Sucks that the beeping woke us up at 5am though.

I don't think it's my pad, it happens on both.
I think positioning could be part of the cause?
Oh well...
Again, just observations I'm seeing.

I'm having the same problem on my S6 Edge. I have a couple TYLT chargers and they work perfectly fine with my Nexus 5, Nexus 6 and Nexus 7's... both work flawlessly with those. But they both fail to work properly with the S6.
I'm pretty disappointed with this. Anyone got any ideas or know of a similar shaped charger that works with the S6? I really don't want to go back to my Nexus 6 due to the size, but having the phone beeping and flashing all night trying to charge is unacceptable.

My regular S6 was doing this last night. I wonder if it has something to do with the camera sticking out and not letting the phone lay flat?
I don't like charging it with the USB because I know the frame will get all scratched up eventually.

Running into the same problem with my T-Mobile S6. After setting it on a new 3 coil charging pad, the phone looks to be taking the charge, then once the screen times out and turns off, it will vibrate, turn back on, and display "Wireless Charging Paused".

On my Qi-infinity stand, it actually does lay flat as the charging pad ends just below the camera, so I don't think that's the case here.
Update: So I've managed to solve my problem by changing the wall adaptor from an old 1A Motorola plug to a 1.5A version and it's currently charging without troubles. Switch back just to confirm and within seconds, it starts giving me trouble again. I guess the S6 is picky about the power levels? *shrugs*

I was having the same issues. It turned out I was getting my monies worth out of the $5 walmart special I was using. I ended up getting a 3 coil charging pad and now it charges just fine. Nary a hiccup.

everyone remember to use a 2A (possibly 1.5 amp input is also okay) charger. the output will be ~1A. This was the solution to many of the cheaper wireless chargers on ebay/amazon. Just one more thing to check!

Best Solution
In the last solution, turning on Daydream will let the phone's screen on unless you turn it off.
Another better solution is to enter developer mode and turn ON StayAwake. Same effect of daydream but without the annoying on screen.
Cheers

Phone not charging like it used to after latest updates.

My phone is at "OG7" and now when I plugin my IQ anker car charger, the phone display a message that I should use the changer that came with it. Didn't see this with the older OS. Also it doesn't charge as fast as it used to with the IQ anker charger.
So did samsung or version set the phone not to charge faster with non smaung chargers?
Any thoughts?

They did something. I also have gotten this message frequently and my quick charger in my car now takes 8 hours to charge when it used to only take an hour. I thought mu phone was damaged but then my wife's is doing the same and now this thread...

I'm talking to Verizon on this now. Doubt I'll get anywhere.

So Verizon says to fix this is to do a factory reset and this will allow the phone to charge faster with a 3rd party changer. this sucks.

They are probably just reading from a script. That's their answer for anything. "Oh, you dropped you phone in a volcano. Just do a factory reset" I'll give it a shot, though I will remain sceptical.

Don't reset your phone. Waste of time. Talked to verizon again and he said Samsung definitely changed something with the update. He's heard of this issue. He said just samsung and verizon charges are the only was that work right. He said something was changed but not idea what.

verizon is sending their turbo car charger for 34.99 and giving me a 20$ credit.

Nice. I should contact them and see if I can get the same deal.

non responsive s6

Hello, my niece brought me an faulty s6 and asked if i could fix it. Since i used to repair peoples phones a few years ago.
When i got it, it was completely dead, except a white light of doom on the led bulb when i tried to boot in DLmode/recovery. That later stopped lighting too. I then tried to change the battery for a new one. It didn't change a thing, so i thought it might be the charging port. So i got a qi charger...
So here we are, the qi charger tries to charge it (i can see the light animation for it). The phone gets warm but no sign of any juice to the battery..
Can't see any next steps that are worthwhile..
I would really like to get the data off the phone tho..
Any ideas?

Do you get any sign of life plugging into a pc? Adb is your best bet to get data but you need to be careful using it.

Nope, no life at all. Don't think I'll be able to salvage this one
