I've read answers to this before. Take a small flat tool like a flathead screwdriver and pry the micro USB tab on the phone up very lightly and gently. Make sure it is raised off the bottom, but be sure not to break it. This should solve charging issues. If not, you can try a different cable (one not from Samsung because they tend to be cheap). But it's probably the connector

Did you find a solution to this charging problem? I have the same issue.

Its either the battery issue, an app that over uses the processor that burns energy faster than you can charge, or a faulty charge port.

Your Note 2's charging IC is broken. Mine did the same thing as yours before the IC circuit went flaky. I replaced the USB daughter board / charging port and it does the same thing.

Try using an external battery charger, thats how I'm stuck mitigating the same crap problem as you. Phone does not charge the battery or get proper current if the IC is toast.

Get rid of it or get warranty repair. There is no help for you here as it's a hardware problem.

funny how a bunch of people have the same problems all at once. Samsung is not a very good brand if you want reliability.

Thanks CaptainBroflovski.
I had the same issue. Your instructions worked perfectly for my issue.

Plug your charger into a laptop/computer ans wait for it to charge in the computer

It's 4 months old, do a warranty exchange through your carrier or a warranty repair through Samsung.

My Note 2 uncharged completely, now it won't take a charge. I tried a new battery and charger (original) - Notta. I cleaned off the port and raised it lightly with a pin and I still can't get a charge. Before sending (for weeks) to get looked at, is there any other ideas?

Before doing this I did try to change the charger port, which as it turns out was in perfect working condition.


I know this is an old thread, but I just thought I would add my experience with this same problem. I THOUGHT my battery wasn't charging, no LED lights showing, no sign of life. So, I removed the battery from my note 2 and held in my S3 to see if it was a battery problem. The battery would charge, and had a charge of 45%. This ruled out the battery problem. I then plugged the charger cable into my laptop, as at the time I had no access to anything else. Windows kept returning a usb device connected to this machine has malfunctioned. As it did this, I held down the power button and kept it pressed, the usb malfunction message popped up and closed until the charging symbol appeared on the note 2 screen. As this happened the phone started to function normally again. It now works.

Regards

Hey, I know you posted this like forever ago, but I have the Note 2, and it will not charge what so ever.. ive had it for a year, but it had water damage when I first got it, so its been turned off for about 9 months.. I just turned it on recently to use and It has been working fine until tonight I went to plug it in with 35% battery and it wouldn't charge.. I tried taking the battery out and what not.. but it still wont charge... could you explain to me how you got yours working again? Id really appreciate it!
