Got an Infuse 4G from my neighbor ( He switched from ATT to Verizon knew I needed a phone so he was kind enough to give it to me) and now the phone doesn't charge. What can I do?
Chances are, you have a bad charger or a bad battery.
Either that or a broken usb port. You could be surprise on how many galaxy phones get no charge because of the usb charging port. Its very sensitive and it can be broken quite easily. But if you give more details maybe we can help. Does it responds when you connect it or it wont do anything at all?

can you plug into the computer and it stays connected with no issues or problems...if yes, then your port on the phone should be good
batteries do have a life span...and they are cheap on ebay...I got 2 2000 with charge for less than $20 bucks...great deal
prob is your battery if you wanna stay oem battery same thing you can get them at good prices on eBay and Amazon

Infuse Wont stay on or charge
Hello, maybe someone can help me here. My infuse suddenly won't charge or turn on at all. When I plug in the USB cable from my computer or the wall the battery icon comes on with the animated loading circle thing then goes off after about a second of doing that. When I do a hard reset with or without the battery in it and with or without the charger plugged in, the same thing happens.
Its been several days since this has been happening and after trying again today, it actually turned on and booted to the OS and was charging for about 5 mins before it stopped recognizing the charger. I pulled the battery and it since will not turn on. The battery has some charge on it but will not turn the phone on, just does the weird battery thing as described above.
I have tried several different charging cables, but have no other battery to try. Any suggestions?
Hello i had the same problem awhile back. When my phone was not rooted(Infuse) i had to go to recovery mode and wipe cache after that the charger recognized right away on the phone.
Another time After i rooted i flashed a bad rom and i could not get my phone to charge while it was off. It could only charge with the phone on....SO maybe try flashing a newer better ROM i recommend CM10.
Another thing i had to do was switch this old charger i had it would recognize for 5 min then Stop. It was just a bad wire connection.

The problem is I cannot get it to turn on at all. I was running CM10 and have tried 4 different charger/usb cables.
Sadly, the connection of this device is a known weak spot.. if its not doing anything when connected to some form of current.. all signs point to a dead port..
Hopefully that isn't the case..

I also went through this issue and i discovered that it will keep going through a battery icon and then off loop so the way to deal with this is as soon as you see the battery picture just hold the power button for like 2 or 3 seconds and then you should see the battery green indicator with the botton dots animation and it will Charge.
I am having the same issue as xtz as well. I cant get it to turn on. I flashed the Paranoid Android rom and it all went downhill from there. I flashed it and it had 10% battery left, by the end of the night it was at 1%. I went to bed and woke up with it only at 5%. I went back to stock then re-rooted it. I installed CWM but it wouldn't let me go into CWM recovery, only the Android recovery. Now the phone won't turn on at all, I have swapped batteries and USB cords with no luck. This is a brand new unit less than a week old, the battery is also less than 2 weeks old. Any help here? It won't turn on at all It does the same little ritual that xtz's does.

I had the same thing with mine when I first got it (used), I plugged it into the wall with a 2amp charger, left it overnight, and in the morning it was on and charged.

I already tried that and it seems to have messed up one of the batteries. The little loading circle will come on for a split second then it will go away, come back a few seconds later and it just loops. I plugged in the USB while holding the volume keys to try and get it into download mode but I'll get a warning message saying something about installing a different OS being dangerous, again, for a split second, and shuts off. It seems like the phone can't have any power go through it for more than a split second.
I'm having a similar issue with the phone not charging. But the phone won't PC or wall charger. But check this out I have a jigg for putting device in download mode when I connect it to phone. The phones goes in to download now when powered on. So what do guys think is wrong?

From the info you provided: the phone is not charging but the jig works.
Do I need a new battery or does it sound like the USB port shot?
Same thing happened to my daughters galaxy s2. Usb port is shot. I got her a battery wall charger and a couple spare batteries. Charged the battery, popped it in and turned right on.

Thanks for the helpful information.
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
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2
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....
Hey there!
My Nexus 5, after updating it to 4.4.3, is having a issue: the device is charging only when it is turned off. When I turn the phone on, while charging, it will remain charging. But if I connect the charger, when the phone is already turned on, it will not charge.
I have tested 2 different cables, same issue.
Is anyone else having the same problem? How to fix it?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Just for clarification: I'm using Kit Kat 4.4.3, rooted, Xposed.
what are you charging from? ac or pc?
AC!

Another question, are you using the stock wall wart? Some aftermarket chargers don't put out enough amperage. Another possibility is that you've got some rogue processes keeping your phone awake so it's using battery as quickly (or quicker) than it can take in a charge.
I'm using the AC charger that came with my Nexus 5.
Updated to 4.4.4. Problem not solved.
I think it might be a hardware issue. I have the same problem with my pebble. I have tried multiple cables/chargers and it only charges when it's off. When it's on I get the charging notification but it doesn't actually charge
Nothing. The devide is still charging only when it is turned off.
Having the same issue since update 2 weeks ago. Already wiped phone and problem still exist. Start to think it's hardware but tried 2 different charger same issue.
So guys I am almost the same problem since this morning. I went on a 3 day trip to the Netherlands on Friday and charged my phone in the car for the last time on friday. I died on me this morning. While I was on the way back today and my N5 was in it's last percents of battery I noticed it wouldnt charge anymore. I thought fastcharging might have killed my car radio. Now back home I tried to charge it. For some reason the charging while off screen reapeared as soon as it turned off. Whenn I turned it on again it stopped charging. Tried rebooting multiple times. My phone now only charges while being in Fastboot or Recovery mode. Anybody having any ideas what might have caused this an how to fix this? Cleaning the charger didn't help me.

Hi. Also had this problem a few days now. Alot of headscraching is done
N5 won`t charge when on. Tried my N10 charger, but still the same. With my wireless charger it register the phone when off, but cannot charge it at all. I've also done a factory reset, and even changed the battery. Still no solution. Wondering if the charging port is damaged somehow. It doesn't cost much so maybe I`ll order a new and replace it to. I remember draining the battery more than usual right before this issue acurred. I was hiking, and din`t bring my portable charger. Also it could be some kind of water damage. Had the phone in my pocket all the time, it was not raining, but I got pretty sweaty:-9 Never had any issue with my stock Nexus 5 up till now. Don`t think this i a common problem, when this is the only place I've found others with this issue I`ll order the charging port, keep on searching on forums, and take it from there.
Good luck
I'm having the same problem on my Nexus 5 now as well. When on, it won't charge via micro-usb (via original charger or USB-to-PC), nor will it charge wirelessly. When turned completely off, it charges, but at GREATLY GREATLY reduced speed. It seems to be stuck in a loop as it it's just been plugged in. It cycles continuously through the lightning-bolt battery image, followed by the charge percentage graphic. The screen blinks, then it starts again. I suspect that it only charges for a moment or two before each reset. For example, it only charged about 20% over the span of six hours last night.
I've tried four chargers and four USB cables, and of course both wireless and wired charging. It's something with the hardware I suspect.
Anyone have any suggestions? It looks the the factory wipe upthread didn't help...
Charging spare part
I am having same problem too. I'm guessing it's because of water damage. Where did you find the charging part? I'm thinking of ordering one for myself to see if the problem is fixed!

Having the same problem now too. Won't Qi or USB charge from OEM charger and cable while powered on.
Appears to be charging fine while powered off.
Did anyone come up with a resolution?
I posted this in the geforce forums as well with no response so I'm trying here. Original post: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/903373/k1-tablet-screen-turns-on-randomly
I haven't had this tablet for longer than a week now. When it's charging the screen turns on randomly. There will be no notifications or anything on the screen. It keeps happening when it's charging and i have no idea why. I don' t have a case yet so it has woken me up a few times over the night from lighting up my room whenever the screen turns on.
This doesn't seem like normal behavior to me.. has anyone had this happen to them? Should I be concerned and try to get a new one?
Has anyone fixed the problem?
Thanks
Do you have locked bootloader and a custom ROM installed?

Nope, everything is stock..
Then I don't know man...
The same happens to me with every custom ROM in my locked bootloader tablet. With stock it behaves normal, so I concluded that somehow it has to be something related to bootloader or something.
But re-reading you again, it isnt the same thing. In my case, The whole tablet turns on after being off when charging. Not The screen only. If I were you, I would do a factory reset and would see if it does The same thing with no other apps installed.

I have this happen using both the stock kernel and the BitO kx 060 kernel, but only when charging from my laptop usb. Using ampere to monitor battery charging I notice that my laptop's output fluctuates up and down, sometimes down to zero. For me I'm assuming it turns on when it either stops getting a charge, or resumes charging. I do not have this problem using a wall charger, but i am using a 5v 2a charger. Hope this is of some help pointing you in the right direction.

ooohhh.. that's a good idea. Thanks! I'll have to try another power source when I get home. I'll try that and will update the thread with my findings.
Hey, just thought I'd ask if you ever found a solution to this? It's happening to me, too: brand new, entirely unmodified K1, straight from the shop. While charging, the screen keeps turning on and off, which is not only mildly annoying but probably makes the charging take a lot longer than it needs to.
That's actually normal for Android devices. If the screen is off and you plug the charger in, the screen goes on. Same when you unplug. So that you see/know it's indeed charging. However, you can change the screen Sleep time and Daydream under Display.
if i leave my moga controller connected my screen keeps turning on
Happens to me as well, wild guess for me is there isnt a charging animation for the tablet when it is powered off, if i power mine off the second i plug it in to charge it will light up with a black screen 1st then proceed to normal boot, or sometimes there's a battery charging pic then it boots normally
Hello everyone, I seem to have a problem with my phone, This has been happening since last night. The day I woke up, everything was perfect, then around mid-day, I charge my Note 5 through my computer, then every 1-2 seconds my computer starts playing the disconnected/reconnected sound, and on the other side, the Note 5 flashes on showing that it's charging with a vibration. So I remove the charger, and then the phone continues to flash on with a vibration and saying that it's charging repeatedly, even when the nothing is connected. It also shows the neat little charging animation on the bottom of the screen when you charge it. So in conclusion, when charging, it rapidly disconnects/reconnects flashing the lock screen, with a vibration and charging animation, however upon removing charger, effects still apply. (Appears to be charging when nothing is plugged in. Any tips or advice will help. Thanks.
*Side question: my Note 5 is still in the Lolipop update, and when I go to software updates in settings to check for any updates, It doesn't find any. My Note is a Verizon. Is there any other way to update it? Thanks again.

Get a different USB cable before the one that came with it ends up ruining the phone! The one that came with it is junk! You can update the phone using Odin on a Windows computer by downloading the correct file from the firmware update thread.

Okay, I tried using a different cable, I think it worked? It doesn't turn on with the spamming disconnected/reconnected charging, the problem still occurs when I take out the charger. It still turns on with the charger disconnect/reconnect. Any solutions for that? Thanks!

Try to update using Odin on a Windows computer but it sounds like the USB cable already did the damage. You can try to factory reset it.
