I know there is a bug in which after an overnight charge, the unit is unresponsive unitl you soft reset it. I've read the thread. My TP exhibits this problem as well. However, mine seems to have an additional problem not mentioned in that thread. After charging overnight, my TP IS NOT CHARGED! After an overnight charge, the battery is nearly dead and a soft reset does not fix that. It has happened several times now. After plugging it into the charger before bed, I confirm that the charge light is on and that it shows charging on the status screen, however, THE BATTERY IS NOT CHARGING. Has anyone else experienced this quirk? It doesn't always do this, however, so I'm very confused about what is happening.
Dumb question - but are you using the factory charger? I had a problem when I purchased my Touch Pro in the fact that I used another charger which also was USB for another phone, but for some reason had that problem. Using the charger supplied with the phone fixed it.

Yup. Factory charger and cable. Not a dumb question, BTW. That could have very well been the problem although any USB charger should work.
What about if you turn the phone off and charge?
On a related issue, I used TomTom the other day for a 1 hour trip with the phone on a USB lighter socket charger. Started with 48% full battery, when I finished the battery was down to 30%!!! Basically the phone uses more power than the USB can provide when the screen+GPS is on!! I also find plugging the phone into the charger with the screen on & WiFi on will mean the phone charges at a speed of 1% every 8 minutes - taking all day to charge from empty!
To ease the problems I purchased a separate phone+battery cradle off eBay and a spare battery. I swap to the charged battery every morning and put the other one in to charge. The used battery is usually at 25% after a good days use. Before I did this and charged using the USB plug I used to get 6 hours use before needing to re-charge.
Disconnect the cable from the factory charger and plug in in your PC, see if it charges there. If it does, then you can return your charger, if it doesn't then i'd return my TP.
I have had the Touch Pro for eleven days(got in October 31,2008) and I have issues with the phone. First, I love this phone, however, the battery will not hold a charge. I started with a fully charged battery, used sprint navigation to direct me on a 2 hour trip. My phone was dead by the time I got to my destination. The phone was extremely hot, I mean extremely hot during the entire trip. The next day I took the phone into the sprint store and they switched the battery and told me that the phone check out okay. for the next several days, i used the phone sparingly to see if the battery was okay. I made about 7 calls and 12 text messages, my battery was down 3 bars after being fully charged. I tried the navigation within the city limits and the phone again stared to get hot. My sprint picturemail would not work, it takes hours to send a picturemail. I call customer care and talked with technical support, who did not have a clue about the phone, they had me on hold, researchec, told me to do a few things and then had me to perform a hard reset. The picturemail worked for a few messages and then it started to take hours to send a picturemail. i then went into a sprint store for ready now service to see if there was something I was doing that was causing the battery loss, etc. The CSR in the store did not have a clue about the phone. He went through the computer told me a few things to do and that was it. My battery continued to perform poorly, so I again called customer care and was told afte a serious of conversations and procedures that i need to have the phone replace and that my phone could be defective. They told me to go in to a store and have them make the switch. Well, there are no phones in any of the stores in my area. I call customer care again and asked them to look at the notes on my account and send me a replacement phone, because there are none available in the stores. That was a horror story and i currently have an expensive phone that i have to keep on the charger. i actually purchased a universal charger from sprint that can be used in your car and/or in a wall socket to make certain I don't lose my charge. I think the phone is over priced for how it is operating for me. Sprint should provide an additional battery for the touch pro like they do for the Instinct. The should also include the universal charger in the box. The phone cost to much to not operate better. The sprint picture mail sucks, The sprint TV sucks, but the phone is really nice, if sprint can correct the issues mentioned.
I don't charge it at night cuz i don't like to "overcharge", so i usually charge it when i get home b4 I sleep. I have been considering getting an additional battery with a dedicated battery charger from HTC though. ever gave that a thought?
I seem to be having this same issue with my Fuze that I just got yesterday. After a full night on charger it's at 82%. I'm going to try it over usb on pc to see if it gets any higher otherwise I'll be taking it back to the store today.
The HTC touch pro (with factory ROM) is protected from overloading. Which means that overnight it will load for about 3 hours from an empty battery and then it is full (white light will go from sliding to full circle). After that the charging stops. Which means that if you sleep for 8 hours, the remaining 5 hours your phone will be using the battery.
Now the question remains, what is drianing your battery in 5 hours? The initial suspects are GPS (any GPS software should be cleared from memory, press the most right corner icon to see what's running), the wifi or the HSPA / 3G connection. Use comm manager to put those off.
Of course, the second option is that the charging is not happening because of a defect, in that case return it to the shop.
Pretty sure this is a common problem, I don't think returning the phone will solve a thing.
My phone does the same. Though if you charge it with the phone turned off, it charges fine. I purchased a separate charger and spare battery and just swap them over when I need to (1.5 days with moderate usage).
Pretty sure this is all down to the phone using more power than it should be, hopefully future rom updates will fix this. Even when using Tomtom in the car with the phone charging on a USB cigarette charge cable can't charge it - it actually has less charge at the end of a long journey.
Oh and I can also mention that I have the original HTC battery and two spare batteries (which look like copies with, the HTC sticker is there but not quite the same). The spare batteries act just the same as the original HTC battery.
well is it only me having charging issues with jelly bean? a quick search in google proved that a lot of people with other phones when they updated to jelly bean have charging issues (very slow charging, even on power u cant work tablet even in power save mode it stills droping!
anyway couldnt find anything here fore note 10.1! so what about you guys?? i had to go back to ics cause of that
with or without JB you will have the charging issue its not an issue but because of the huge battery note has

ofc its a rom issue as when i go back to ics the charging its ok! in jelly bean its very slow! i mean i put on charge all night and only about 20% charged! its not hardware problem, but jb issue. i just dont see anyone else here with note 10.1 complaining about this.
Don't have that problem, Only goit 3hours sleep last night and plugged in note before going to bed. Fully charged from 46% in 3 hours.... You might have a problem with your charger/cable/charging port....
If you have an S2,S3 or Note 2, or an old Gtab, the charger works for your note so you can check where the problem is....
Only charging issue I have is when I use different charger other than the original one then its slow..if I use the original one its fast

The OEM charger supplies 2 Amp hours of current to the battery. If the battery takes any more than 3.5 hours to charge the 7Ahr battery then there is something wrong with the tab or the charger.

Note takes around 5 hours to do a recharge, but if you have extention USB cable of a after market USB connector for longer length it will increase the charging time
Max charging time for me with OEM is about 3.5 hours with power saving mode on and screen off, or around 2.5-3 with the tablet OFF. Thats with a 6-9% battery remaining. Anything much more means something is eating your battery in the background while you are charging.. make sure you use OEM charger.
my charger was slow charging right from the box. They gave me a new one the next day and everything is fine now.
Thats odd. I never had any charging problems when i upgraded to jellybean. Have you compared your unit with someone who also has a note 10.1?
I picked mine up on Thursday and charged it to 100% with the supplied charger and cable, installed the 4.1 system update and used it throughout the following day watching video and general playing. I had it plugged in whilst I was using it and noticed it discharging, odd I thought as it should at least have maintained its charge but after my battery level dropped to 19% on that evening I turned it off completely and left it overnight, this morning it had only charged a further 20%. It has to be a firmware issue as its the only thing thats changed since I first charged it fully without any issues (first charge on 4.0 took approx 3 hours from unboxing).
I also have the same problem. Any solution to this?
I also want a solution to this.
I'm at wits end and feel like smashing this thing.

Power off completely while charging it will go faster.

No. Its still doesn't charge faster. Same result.
Its going back to Samsung today.
That sounds screwy... I have mine on all the time, plug into the wall and about 3 - 5 hours later its fully charged...
Might be the wall charger is the problem, Samsung may have a batch of faulty chargers....
Doubt its the charger. Because its now 100% full but still says charging, not charged like on 4.0.4.
Even my battery stats don't reset anymore.
In my opinion something happened in this OTA. Been viewing many 10.1 forums for a while now and never read anything about charging issues. Since the update, its an issue unless all of us just happened to either have faulty chargers at the same time or we all downloaded the same app at the same time which is the source of the issue. Im gonna say its not neither of those because what did happen, is we all downloaded an OTA at the same time and have since had this issue.
One thing I have noticed that works a little better for me is to do a reboot right before I throw it o the charger. I dont unlock it or anything, just keep it on the charger.
Im thinking of rooting over the weekend and trying a few different ROMs to see what happens.

Just a thought, but lots of people are complaining about this and lots of people are not experiencing a slow charge.
The update has been rolled out in many countries now - so what country are you all in and what sort of mains power do you have? Maybe it's something related to that
Shouldn't matter as the charger is the one in charge of voltage to the Note.
You can use a charger from America in Australia, UK or Europe (with an adaptor of course) and it should charge your note the same everywhere.
I have tested this by using a stepdown transformer to charge my note at 110 volts as well as the normal 240volts we use here in Australia. No difference.
I have an overseas model Note and need an adaptor to connect to the Oz mains. I also have another note bought here in Australia and it works fine using either Australian or overseas charger too at either 110V or 240V...
I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this or has any ideas as to what may be happening...
I've been charging my Nexus 5 wirelessly at home and at work with my TYLT VU wireless charger. The N5 is listed as compatible on the Tylt website, so I don't think that is the issue. It has been charging successfully overnight since I got the phone about 3 weeks ago. However, for the last two days, I wake up to find the phone has stopped charging at 80% and 84% yesterday and today, respectively. Also, the phone is INSANELY hot to the touch, to the point that it is unsafe to hold. I have to set it aside to cool for a few minutes before I can handle it.
Yesterday, I thought it was a one time glitch, and that I hadn't placed the phone properly in the charger. But last night I was careful to lay it in the charger so the green light activated. No improvement, same result.
Notes:
- The phone is in a Spigen case
- I do NOT have Developer Options enabled
- Stock Android, locked, unrooted
- YES, the screen times out after about 2 minutes (does NOT stay awake)
Any ideas? I'm really worried about the phone getting this hot and not charging.

its probably your charger. mine gets warm but nothing insane. i charge during the day in my cube and typically have a full charge when i leave, and it lasts all night till i get back to work. so i basically sit by my charging phone all day and its never really caused me any concern. i have a knock off "qi compatible" charger from ebay. works great for $20
Holy s*it that thing is expensive. Sounds like there is a process that is getting triggered by charging and running the cpu to 100%. Think about a new app installed since heating started. Ordered 2 of these with no odd heating of device.
Off topic: What would developer options being enabled or disabled have to do with wireless charging? (just wondering)
good day.
Have you tried it out of the case? Maybe it's not vented properly in it
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I saw several comments about this very thing in a qi charging thread after the phone started to ship and they all used that charger. Most said it ended up being a one or two time thing but the charge you mention was common to all the situations. I suggest getting better battery stats from XDA and then check it after charging. Also try charging in short half and hour to one hour time frames until you know it is not truth so hot.

Mine doesn't get noticeably warmer charging on the Nokia Qi plate than it does over USB. Maybe you should contact Tylt.

Developer Options is where the "stay awake while charging" setting is. I just wanted to make it clear that I didn't have that setting enabled. That's all.

Thanks for this info... I will try it out and see what happens.
Thanks for all of the help everyone, hopefully this was just a random incident. It's charging fine now at work: on the VU, in the case, at 100%, no overheat. Weird. I'll try it again overnight tonight and see what happens.
Or maybe the case causes the heat because of the added distance between the charge pad and the coils in the phone? Dunno if that's possible tho? Lol

There's something about that Tylt Vu charger that sometimes doesn't recognize when the phone is fully charged and go into trickle-charge mode, as it should. (Although I've never heard a conclusive answer as to why the battery is usually found at a low charge percentage, so there may be another reason.) There are numerous reports of overheating with that specific charger. It doesn't happen all the time, and in fact, many people report that it works fine for weeks, then one day it does this, then works fine for weeks again. Still, it's a VERY common problem with that charger, and it only takes one time overheating to damage your battery.
I'd contact the manufacturer and see what they'll do about it (refund, working on a fix, etc.). In the meantime, you could try the Nokia DT-910. It's a similar stand-up type charger, and doesn't seem to suffer from the same problem.

Glad I'm not alone. Thanks for the link.
I realize this thread is old but this happened to me last night. I woke up this morning to my Nexus 5 shut off (it was turned on when I placed it on the charger) on the Tylt Vu charger and when I picked the phone up I couldn't hold it comfortably. It physically hurt to hold my finger on the screen. I have never felt a phone that hot before. I would imagine it shut down due to heat but shutting it down didn't stop it from continuing to charge in some sort of error state.
I am done with wireless charging. I am actually curious what would have happened if I had left it all day. I truly believe I'd have ruined my phone or started a fire.
this fdang phone will NOT charge for longer than 10min, i got a battery app to see the mah im using and at first it charges and it goes up, then after 10 min or so it drops and my % will slowly go down then eventually die and wake up with a full battery that dies in 2 hours or less. it hardley charges i have tried the stock charger that charges at 1 amp and a samsung charger for an S4 that charges at 2 amps, it helps to get the battery monitor to say im gaining mah but then it goes down. i even underclocked the phone at 384mhz and airplane mode, STILL, WILL NOT CHARGE
Please help

Bad news... I had the exact same thing happen to me. To be honest, I got my 4GSlide off of eBay, and it was a little flakey then (seemed to be picky about sdcards on boot), but it was basically fine. Then a few weeks after I got, it developed the exact same problem you describe. No idea why. I tried everything: different chargers, different batteries (bought a new OEM original battery), no sdcard, fiddled with USB settings... Nothing. The only way I could use it was by charging the spare batteries in an external charger so I could swap when they were empty. At the same time as this happened, the USB port stopped working when plugged into a PC (device unrecognised, even with HTC Sync, even though it worked before). Clearly something serious was going on. I took it to a couple of the best phone repair shops in my area and both were stumped, saying the only way it could be fixed was by replacing the whole motherboard. In the end I bit the bullet and I got another one off of eBay a couple of weeks ago (perhaps a questionable choice, but I really like the phone and its keyboard).
So... I can't say for sure, but if you're having the same problem as me, you probably won't have much choice other than getting a new device.

thanks, its been like this for a while, i dont know how to fix, im not sure if it was like a connection problem, like possibly on of the pins on the phone arent making contact or something. Ill keep looking around hopefully someone has the answer out there
I have bought long time ago new version of fast charger duo pad. I use this charger to charge my SM-G977B S10 5g. I used this charger almost from s10 5g was released. It was charging battery from flat in about 1:35 every time when I was using this charger. From about 2 months I have noticed that charging is slower and it takes 2 hours to charge battery from flat. Maybe it's nothing important but the difference is especially noticeable at the beginning of charge process if I have only 10 - 20 minutes to charge it's really noticeable. I thought that I happened after certain update and firstly ignored that because of I wish to have only this type problems in my life. Anyway recently I have seen that if I use both pads and during charging my s10 5g I remove second device from pad s10 will switch to faster charging and I am able to achieve 1:35 charging time the same like before otherwise it charges a little bit over 2 hours. Is it software bug or problem whit my charger? Charger is quite expensive so I prefer to don't buy second one just for testing purpose. Have you noticed slower wireless charging yours s10 after one of recent update? What's the normal charging time for s10 5g on this charger? Thanks
Hi, is the same for me, I use it for about one year and at the beginning one charge (from 20% I never go under that or rarely) take approx 1h40 and it take 2h10 now ....
It's not an a really big problem for day to day use but sometimes it's annoying when you have less time for charge your smartphone.
But I need to say after one year this charger stay in a good condition especially in term of temperature management.
Anyone ?
Hi, an a factory reset solve my problem ?.
Before : 0,5%/H full charge in 3h20
After : 0,8% /H full charge in 2h20 (like at the beginning)
After the reset when put my phone ? on the wireless charger an notification appear "you can program the time when you went to stop the fast charging option to avoid noise and light during the night ? "
I never seen it before, I think ? the problem is that.
My 'fast charge' charger is as slow as the 6 times cheaper one I have had for more than a year, this means that a full charge takes about 3 hours. I bought it because I got a smartwatch and I didn't want to have two chargers on my desk.
I wiped the cache partition but the situation is the same. I followed other tips but nothing helped.
I did not do a phone reset because it takes me a long time to return to the normal state of the phone with passwords and other things and settings.
It is very annoying that samsung does not mention such a situation, as well as the fact that the estimation of the charge is far from the actual charge ... stupid is the one who buys this charger !!!
