Samsung Galaxy Note 3 not charging?

Experienced same problems. After six trips to Verizon, finally a rep told me the Verizon charger would work on my Note 3. Voila! Problem solved
 
I had the same issue, stock samsung cable won't charge. Micro usb does work but not very well either. Turns out that most external hard drives have the identical two prong plug- essentially the micro usb as well as the larger portion like the standard charge cable. Plugged one end into the wall charger, other into the phone. Works perfectly.

Hi,

just come across this thread as I have the same issue! I woke this morning to 19% charge after 6 hours. Yesterday morning was 67%, it hasn't reached 100% for about a week. I have tried other chargers, removed the battery and place it back and right now, I have the phone turned off charging through the laptop.

When I try to charge it through the mains whilst turned off, it just vibrates every 2 seconds and shows a line across the screen as though something was going to show but stopped. Kind of thing you would see with a knackered screen.

Whilst I type this, I keep getting USB device not recognised as it connects and disconnects however the charge is still showing but doesnt seem to be putting anything into the phone.

The phone knows the charger is in, and shows but nothing is going in.

Would this be a phone or battery issue? Unfortunately I don't have a spare battery to try but have run out of ideas. The battery has been spot on since I bought the phone start of November until this charge issue started a week ago.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks
 
Did you get a fix to this? This exactly the same problem with my note 3. It shows charging when I use the power AC but it doesn't load and keeps draining fast. But it charges alright (slow, of course) when I plug it in my laptop. I'm still using the stock Samsung cable.
 
Oh my gosh, I just tried the recommended dry tooth brush method for the oxide on the port - it works!! So simple!! brush to charger head and the actual phone port till its shiny new. This has saved me from having to send it off for repairs for 5-7 days!! Thank you to whoever recommended it!
 
This seems to have worked for my Note 3! My issue was definitely with the fon as I had used multiple cords and chargers. I used both a 3.0 usb cord (the original) and several 2.0 cords, including my old Note 2 charger and cord. It kept telling me to use the original charger to prevent damage to the phone. I reset the phone, pulled the battery, soft reset, etc., but nothing was working until cleaning with the tooth brush. THANKS MUCH Menuka for taking the time to let us know!
 
My phone/charger started doing this to me about a week ago. I used a product called Deoxit and sprayed it in the end of the cable and wiped it down. I then just inserted it several times into the phone and it works just like new. It does a great job of cleaning all the connections with just a small amount used.

I had my phone plugged up all night, it's at 17% and going down fast? It's not charging although it shows it plugged up and under battery settings it says it's charging. I pulled battery- still not charging. Got my note bout 2 months ago, could it be a bad battery?

I'm having same issue. The cord doesn't matter. I've tried multiple ones. The only way it will charge is by turning it off. I'm fighting with my carrier also.
 
Try brushing with the brush<<<<<< its worked for me without electric brush. Just be patient and brush a little bit quickly but no rush, then try to plug it with the charge, left it for a sleep than maybe miracle happens xd
