i plug the tilt into the charger and it does not charge. the left led starts to blink amber and the phone recognizes that it's plugged. but still doesn't charge.
i tried some tricks and i found out that when i take out and put back in the battery(while connected) it starts to charge (the led is amber, not flashing and the battery level goes up).
after I use it for a bit and try to charge again the problem comes back.
(i haven't found any post describing that kind of symptoms)
Sounds like you battery is the problem, try to replace it and see it it changes something!
First, unfortunately I don't have an answer to your problem.
But to make it easier on someone else to eventually help you, could you please answer the following questions:
1. Is it the original charger and battery you are using?
1a. If the answer is no, what charger/battery model are you using?
2. Does the phone charge if connected via USB to a computer?
3. How long have you had your Tilt for and how long does the battery last when it's on full charge?
4. Do you know anyone else that has a Tilt/kaiser who would let you see if you can charge their battery in your phone? (to see if the problem might be with the phone and not the battery although I highly doubt it)
The battery cells might be "dead" - after charging your phone repeatedly over a long span of time it can happen.

1. Both are original
2. Does the same thing as with the charger.
3. The device has around 2 months, the battery life is same as it was brand new
4. i might be able to check it with different battery during the weekend
Although, i think the battery is fine. It looks like the phone does not initiate the charge, but when you will do the trick (take the battery out and put it back) it will be charged normally.
I had a similar problem yesterday, whilst charging the phone during a car journey.
My suspicion is that the problem in my case was due to overheating. It was a hot day and the phone was getting cooked in the sunlight on top of the dashboard (the phone did feel very hot). Removing and re-inserting the battery worked for about 5 minutes then problem re-appeared. I put the phone away and tried it later on, when it had clouded over and the temperature had dropped - the phone charged OK. Have not had any problems since.
This problem just started last night and I can't figure out what's the cause of it. After a few hours into charging, the phone just turns itself on and charging stops!
I'm running stock rom with a few performance tweaks. I'm not sure whether this's software or hardware related and if a hard reset would fix anything.
Cheers.
Are you charging using a PC or directly from adapter?
if from PC, click on the battery icon when the device is on and make sure that "When device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the PC." is unchecked
I use the adapter to charge, I did try to untick the option afterwards and now just osberving if it does it again.
May be this's another bug when it's supposedly only applicable when charged from USB.
Charging issue and low battery life
Hi, I have had my X1 for 4 days now and overall I am very happy with the features, and I have obtained a lot of very useful tips from the XDA forum, thanks. However I am experiencing problems charging the phone and also not happy with the battery life. Last night I left the phone plugged into the USB of the pc that I installed activesync on (pc was, of course, also on) I switched the phone off and ensured that the charging light indicators were flashing. This morning the charging indicators were off but the phone was only partially charged. I then plugged the usb cable into the mains charger and the phone charged to full in 1.5 hours. Does this mean that charging via the pc is inefficient? During the day I made no calls and sent 2 texts, I did have messenger and skype running although I put the phone into sleep mode. Its now about 8pm and the battery has died. I have plugged the usb into my laptop (which does not have the activesync software on it) the charging lights are flashing but I dont think that the phone is charging as the battery is draining. I read on this forum that you must have activesync installed on the pc that you want to charge the phone on, but why is this. Whats the point of that, the whole point of being able to charge via usb is that you can top up anytime you are near a pc, and looking at the battery life I assume I will need to top up a lot. Can I have your thoughts please.
i have been in the same position.
it's probably because your laptop / pc is in hibernate mode / power saving mode..hence it doesnt charge.
try disabling it and see how it goes
Thanks for the prompt reply Berlinberlin
Hi I can confirm that my PC is set to turn off monitor after 20mins and to never turn off Hard Disks and never go into standby and never hibernate. So I don't think that this is the problem but thanks for your thoughts
How long does/should it take to fully charge the phone via usb? How long does it take yours to charge? Since I wrote the post above I have had my phone plugged into my laptop but with the phone swithed off, the charging indicators lights are pulsating. I have now turned the phone on and the battery is 40% charged from being nearly totally depleted (about one hour of charging) . I do not have Activesync on this pc, so the phone will charge on any PC, I assume.
hello.
once i had one x1 charged via usb over night (with a pc with active sync)
the battery depleted the next morning and it doesnt turn on again
so maybe it's better to quit active sync before charging?

The charging problem I've observed has a different effect:
when on charge using the adaptor, the battery charges OK to full and then charging ceases (as it should do)
BUT
if the X1i is connected to WiFi on my LAN, after a time (maybe 30 mins), it commences to recharge and never stops, so the battery can become dangerously overheated.
Disconnecting from WiFi and soft-reset seems to bring the system back to normal.
At this stage I don't know the root cause, but I have a new battery on order. When this turns up, I'll try the same routine and post results. Obviously, I suspect (hope, too) that the "smarts" in the battery are faulty.
x1 charging problem
I' have the same problem with my x1 charging.
The phone after i started charging, turn on and stop the charging.
In the mornig the battery is low.
Is there any solution that fix the problem?

In your case I tend to think the problem is with Wi-Fi using more battery than what it's gaining through charging. I had similar problem with a generic mini-USB charger. Most charging problems are associated with either battery or charger itself.
Even i had a same issue,
But i luckily remembered the setting which i had changed,
Try this,
Setting`s->System-> Power-> Advanced Tab
{code}
Make sure u have selected this option and set it to minimum value,
"Turn off device if not used for"
{code}
Hope this solves issue
Edit: thanks to this post, my problem has been solved. Thanks!
So last night I went from stock motorola 2.2 to this wonderful-seeming version of CyanogenMod on my UK milestone - the install went flawlessly, but now I have a problem - my battery is not charging at ALL.
While the phone was on last night after I charged it, it was plugged in, first to my PC and then to the wall socket. In both cases, the battery indicator had a ? (question mark) on it.
I thought it might have been some weirdness with battery calibration so I left it and plugged the phone in from the wall to charge overnight. This morning, my phone was telling me to connect my charger (despite it being plugged in) and on removing the power cable, it died due to no battery power left within 10 minutes.
While plugged in from the wall, the battery indicator comes up but again just contains a ? on it. The little white light next to the power socket never lights up.
If I plug the phone in to my PC via USB then if the handset is OFF, the white light comes on and around 10 mins later it gets enough juice to boot up. The problem is that when the CM7 software starts, the little white light disappears, the phone stops charging despite the cable being present, and it then dies 2 minutes later.
I know the battery is fine because it was perfectly fine before I installed CM7.
Anyone else experienced this problem and/or know how to fix it?
One thing I did manage to do before it died was install a battery calibration app that I found on xda-developers - this told me that the battery was running at 3267 mV - any idea if that's good or bad?
(and yes, I'm using precisely the same cable/charger I was using before I put this version of CM7 on, so I know they are fine - they charge a friend's SGS with no problems)

Try plugging the phone into the wall charger, without the battery. Try and boot it up and let it boot. Once it's booted up, give it a bit and try and put the battery in and leave it to charge.
What happens if you turn off you phone and plug it in a wall charger? If the problem isn't in your battery it will charge fully.
When you phone comes up, try to disable the 1% battery steps in settings. I got a problem with it, and after disabled/enabled it worked fine for me.
Hope this helps.
On plugging it into a wall charger, the phone comes up with its special battery charging screen (i.e. a fullscreen battery level indicator) - no amount of pressing the power button seems to get it to boot properly (with or without the battery).
I'll see if I can get in and get rid of the 1% steps thing later, thanks for the suggestion

Dude, that was PERFECT.
Managed to get enough juice into the thing to get into the menu for a moment and was able to disable the 1% battery steps option - soon as I touch that tickbox, the battery indicator switches from a ? to the charging symbol and the phone starts charging. Thanks a million!
Nop dude, you are welcome
So I seem to have a strange problem; my phone seems to be unable to charge my battery beyond let's say 10%. For the first couple of minute when I charge the phone via a usb connection with my pc; it displays a battery filled about 5% accoumpanied by a yellow triangle and a black exclamation mark in the triangle. Then after some times of leaving it in the pc; it does show the original battery screen, a battery filled up to about 10% with five black/grey dots underneath it, and one-by-one these dots light up.
I am on a rooted xxla4 rom with the accompanying kernel..... (I can't perform a "wipe battery stats from this CWM version" and I would like to stay on this rom, because it at least a bit like the stock rom, since I don't know whether with this battery situation I will ever get enough battery to install the stock rom again with odin 3.04 )
**Originally I was a while on Asylum 10.1, but then I tried out Parandroid 2.99 beta and to improve the performance I installed Rhythum kernel, when I was a Asylum about two days ago and everthing still worked properly I had about 7 hours of battery life and my phone charged (with the wall charger) to about 100% in three hours. I can't imagine a battery to break within 72 hours and I also can't imagine Rhythum kernel or Parandroid to have caused this, but if I am wrong PLEASE CORRECT ME.
Hi,
If i were you, i'd flash a kernel that supports remove battery stats and remove them.
If that doesn't work, you could try to flash your rom again, but this one is tricky...
because your phone doesn't charge further then 10%.
I don't know about the rom you said, but use a rom without aroma to be sure the least battery is drained...
I hope this will help you.
Good luck.
Cheers,
Kreekhoorn
**Not to forget to keep your phone into the charger (wallcharger) while flashing, just to save battery.
Do a battery calibration using apps in the store, may be the 10% is 100%
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Well, the 10%, regretfully isn't a 100%, because the phone kicks me out after about 5 minutes, because it says the battery is empty. I also can't use the battery calibration, because these apps say the phone isn't fully charged so they close.....
(flashing a kernel is possible, but because I can't get into the phone anymore; the battery now remains dead. It seems I am quite cornered now)
**But do you guys think this problem is purely battery related or do you think the phone itself is broken, I mean if just the battery is broken, I might just get a new one, but I don't want to buy a battery to find out the phone itself is actually broken....:crying:
I would first try a different battery
I will need to buy one either way, since I don't own a spare battery and don't know anyone with a spare battery...
**Recently I tried to flash Asylum back on my Note, because it had a kernel which is able to remove the battery stats, but Mobile ODIN got stuck at about 12% of flashing the rom-> so now when I put the phone into the charger, it does not get beyond the picture of the battery with the loading sign within; does this mean the phone is broken? And are you still able to charge although the phone's UI does not show the battery is charging....(So does the battery still charge without the loading interface on the phone?)
->Also when buying a new battery do they at least come a bit pre-charged or are they sold completely empty? Does anyone know anything about this?
Keep the charger plugged in with the phone off for a couple of hours. Download a good custom rom. Boot into recovery and most uab storage. Copy the rom on to your phone. Perform all wipes and installation the new rom.
The new battery comes with a little charge in it.
Thanks for the advice, I have bought a new battery. It is shipping to me; I hope this will resolve my problems (key will be whether the battery is already charged a bit, because I don't know if it will charge in my phone. Since I don't have a rom installed (mobile odin seems to have deleted my rom, but did not continue to install the new rom.....)) Fingers crossed!
(I also kept the charger in the phone some time, but it just does not want to charge; in the very few times I can enter download mode, I get the "can't download battery is too low" message)
->I will let let you guys know if something changes!
There are external chargers which are pretty cheap. This will help in worst case scenario. Anyways good luck mate
New Battery just charges 3% in one hour
So I recieved my new battery, and flashed a new rom, but I seem to have an other strange problem; I let the phone charge for about an hour now, and the battery just went up by 3 percent. Has anyone else seen this kind of behaviour with a new battery (the store from which I bought the battery said it was an original battery -> http://www.mobilesupplies.nl/battery-samsung-galaxy-note-n7000-eb615268vu-p-13527.html (link to the battery I bought))
->To put this in perspective the battery I previously had (which is apparantly broke now) charged to 100% from 0% in just 3 hours.....
try a few charging cycles and then check the charging time
This probably is a bad question, but I suppose it is better to ask than just to assume; does anyone know whether clearing my battery stats will improve the rate my phone charges my battery? I assume the phone remembers the battery stats taken from my previous battery, which might influence its usage of the new battery?
I don't think so as it's regarded useless clearing battery stats in recovery.. That's why it has been removed from the newer version of Cwm recoveries.
Any how charging the battery to 100% resets that file
The same problems seems to also pop-up with this new battery, I suppose there is nothing else left to do except for sending the phone to the repair center.
->The phone does show something is plugged in, it does detect the usb cable connected to the wall charger which is consequently connected to the power output in the wall. The image it shows (BASED ON THE CHARGE LEFT IN THE BATTERY, so it does not show anything when the battery is empty) is a battery with a yellow triangle and a black exclamation mark inside the yellow triangle (the same icon I got with my old battery)
The battery also does not get hot neither does the phone in the slightest bit; and in my memory, before this problem occured, I remembered the phone getting at least a little bit more warm.
I suppose now all that probably remains is for the Samsung service center to either check the charging circuits and try to fix those OR replace the entire motherboard (which what I assume they will do). I just hope they are not going to make up some excuse about the garanty, because I have always treated my phone with the utmost care....
may be its just the USB module that needs changing.. Samsung should do it.
Well i also juat got a new battery this week. I went for the samsungs spare rather than the mugen extended or the gold battery.
My old battery got swollen and its because of my fault, i used to keep it on charge throuhout night to get 100% in the morning but i was surprised coz despite being in bad shape it was giving me a goos battery time. But after a discussion here on xda i got a new battery and i am happy now coz its giving me 30% more time plus i got extra power now
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
I have the same problem. Does any one have a fix?
When you put your micro usb cable inside your note's usb port, does it wiggle? If so there is nothing else you can do, but to sent your phone to Samsung for warranty. They will fix the usb port and maybe even replace the motherboard. And remember don't wiggle aroubd your phone when it is on the charger or usb plug next time....
phone says 100% but says 80% when off charging
Tried:-
1. 2 different battery callibration apps
2. charging 100%, depleting battery. repeated process a couple of times
3. Switched to Stock (Rooted), 2 Custom ROMs (Waited till it was 100% on both on and off before flashing)
Notes:-
1. Battery seems perfectly fine (takes a while before depleting and doesnt deplete before 0%)
Currently using stock rooted
l would start with replacing the cable and charger to make sure you are getting a full charge. Then monitor the usage time on your phone over a few weeks and see if the time to empty is getting less that is a sure sign of a bad battery
Recheck with another fast charger. Generally, we cannot say if is a faulty cable or you have an faulty adapter. I hope the device chargeboard is not shot/motherboard driven related issue. Also, have you recovered the device using Samsung Kies- Emergency firmware recovery?

- original cable with apple charger 2hr
- different cable with original charger 1.30hr
- different cable with apple charger 2hr
(Used different fast chargers too, same results)
I tried a smart switch recovery. Same conclusion which makes me think its a hardware issue

With original charger it takes 6hrs!!! Holy ****
I think its a usb port problem for sure.. Do one thing while connected to the charger go to device maintenance and open battery menu and see if it say charging via AC or USB if while us8ng the original charger it shows Chaging via USB then certainly its the port that has gone faulty..
Hit thanks if helped
Hello everyone! Though its not the right place to ask the question but I have been seeking solution to my problem from months. Long time before, my Galaxy Note II started to behave differently. Whenever I charged it completely, the phone worked normally till 75% to 80% and all of sudden a =low battery warning indication appears and phone proceeds to shut down. I tried changing ROM and calibrating the battery again but nothing worked. Finally I replaced the battery with a new one and also clean flashed another ROM in a hope to see if the problem is gone or still there. But to my surprise the problem is still intact. Now, when I turn on the phone the battery is 90% and when I keep using it, it drains normally, but as soon it reaches round about 80%, it turns off randomly. When I turn the phone back on the battery is still at the same percentage level at which is turns off. I believe there is not an issue with the battery. Please help me what to do, I am using TWRP recovery that doesn't gives the battery stats wipe option too. Should I flash a new ROM again? I would greatly appreciate if someone please helps me in sorting this problem.
What I have already done!
1. Replaced the battery
2. Changed the ROM
3. Re-calibrated the battery

I have noticed the same issue, I think. I suspect it is a general bug.
Guys, try charging your phone while in Android. When it reads 100%, switch off your device. Either leave the charge cable attached or reattach it after you have switched off. Now wait for the off-line charging icon to appear. Unless I'm mistaken, the percentage won't correspond with whatever your phone reports while your in Android. If Android says 100%, this will be a lower number. And off-line charging will keep on charging until you reach 100%.

Sorry for the late response. Internet finished, had to wait until the renewal date. During this time, i wiped the rom and re-installed it (Khongloi V11). Since there was no internet, i didnt sign in any accounts, Switched off the location. The phone surprisingly took 3 days before reaching 0.
Indeed, it says USB Charging 6hrs. I sometimes keep plugging and unplugging, it changes to A/C 2hrs.
I have this problem too. But I change batt_capacity_max to 1000, phone on 100% phone off 100%. If we recharge to full it will return to the same state (phone on 100, phone off ~80) so i need to change again. I don't know if this destroy my battery life ? I don't know why. I thought I'm the only 1 who have this problem? (sorry for my bad english)
I think this may be a software/firmware problem, not a problem with the battery.

I figured that was the problem but i tried it with three different roms (Khongloi V11, Final, Stock).
Maybe it's some kind of battery protection thing created when your battery is old or something?

The various ROMs may all use the same battery raportage code, which doesn't account for this discrepancy. After all, most ROMs are just fancy reskins of stock Android.
That said, maybe Samsung support can shed some light on what's going on.
On a side note? Is there anyone who reads this thread, whose reported battery charge (in percentages) is the same in Android as when the device is switched off and charging?
So... any solutions?
