Battery Disconnected Warning

**rbiowa** · 07-05-2012, 08:17 AM

I have a one month old AT&T Galaxy Note. Yesterday, I woke up to a "Disconnected Battery" warning. The battery didn't charge overnight due to this warning. Looked around this forum and didn't see anything. Then I did a search on Google and saw that this seems to be a fairly frequent occurrence with Samsung phones. Anyway, there were suggestions to remove the battery and wait an hour, try a different battery (I have one), clean the micro USB port, put a piece of tape/paper on the bottom of the battery and place it in the phone.... None of these worked. Then I read this forum:
It says to drop the phone from about two feet and it'll get rid of this warning. There were a lot of replies that said it worked. What the heck, I tried it. I know it sounds stupid but I did drop it on a table while in its case. The only thing I can say is that I agree with all those other people, IT WORKED! Just thought I'd throw this out there for anyone who has the problem.

A picture is worth a thousand words...
But thanks, I just hope I never have to do this.

I don't know if I could bring myself to drop in my GALAXY NOTE lol. If that worked then your connector pin on the actual phone that connect to the battery might have been jammed. Next time or to anyone having this problem just carefully free up the connector with a finger or paper clip. Hope this helps somebody, & remember ANDROID IS THE FUTURE - KID ANDROID.

Send it for service! I It's a known issue with the tiny battery port!

It damages easily and is only compatible with Samsung assecories. I damaged the port using a blackberry micro usb cable which was slightly tighter fitting and the constant forcing it in damaged the tint port!

I have found this to be the battery in my case, it is not that the battery was bad, it was that the casing around the contacts had become distorted from using an external charger. I used a really sharp knife and removed the affected border between the contacts and the phone is perfect, so have a look at the 3 contacts that mate to the phone and look with the battery installed to see that each of the contacts is sitting firmly against the mating surface. I have had this happen to 2 batteries now, both aftermarket batteries, the original (so far) is still good. This may not fix everybodie's "disconnected battery" warning, but it will surely help someone else out there!

I tried everything and then decided to take the advice......dropped the phone on the floor, put the battery back in, and it began charging. WOW! Thanks. I thought I was going to have to buy a new phone.

When I first read this thread I thought people were trolling. My note 2 was giving me the same problem.... but I followed the instructions and the phone is now charging... ...

how much did it cost to service the phone?

**Anisah Haaris** · 03-20-2013, 07:50 PM

OMG.
I just tried it and its charging. I got so worried as it was a gift from my dad.
Thank you to the person who suggested this. Wow' can't believe it.

Thanks x

mine still aint working :/

**soy7** · 04-08-2013, 05:53 AM

Okay that was definitely trolling, i thought to myself. I am not going to drop my S3 -untill my battery reads 8% and i figured i gotta do something about this...

After some intense browsing, i got frustated and thought what the heck. U cast this on urself galaxy... so i open everything and throw my phone to the sofa (hey it's hard leather), gave the docking area a couple of furious taps... and when i plugged the charger, it's charging!!!

So yeah, as ridiculous as it may sound, it works.
There's probably a wobbly part around there that would get back into its rightful position with a little nudge

**Truia Joubert** · 04-09-2013, 02:56 AM

I couldn't believe it but it really worked. Thank you very much!

**Aevon Woolridge** · 04-27-2013, 03:31 PM

It works!! Thank you

**bossman1113** · 05-18-2013, 05:46 PM

I had my Galaxy SII which was doing the exact thing as everyone else's phone. Instead of dropping my phone, in fear of breaking it, i gave it a hard smack, and it began working again. I guess it has the same effect.

**Raj Kumar9** · 05-21-2013, 10:29 PM

tried every thing (remove the battery and wait an hour, try a different battery,clean the micro USB port, put a piece of tape/paper on the bottom of the battery, cleaning the pin..charging point) but the problem could'nt resolved........ and then i decided to drop my S2 on tabel ...........HEHEHEHE

AND NOW ITS WORKING PERFECTLY........... sorry dude you advice seems insane but i must admit......IT WORKS, THANKS A LOT

**wilnotdie** · Yesterday, 11:00 AM

lol it worked!

Dam Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch (Sprint D710) started doing this. Dropped it from about 5ish inches on to my notepad and bingo was his name-o.

Thanks!!!
