Has anyone else had problems with wireless charging? My phone will connect then immediately disconnect. Started with the LG charger that I got from the store, and I thought it was just the charger so I ordered a Nokia one and it does the same exact thing leading me to believe it's the phone and not the chargers.
I plan on going into the store, but wanted to see if there was anyone else that has experienced this.

Well, thought it might be a recovery, kernel, or Rom issue, but after changing all of those I've seen no difference, although now it flat out doesn't work. Tomorrow is my one day off, so I will be going to the store to figure it out.

I have had DNA since release day, not rooted. Have LG charging pad and nokia 900 pad. Initially no issues with wireless charging but on friday lost this capability completely for no apparent reason (no new apps or drops, etc). Still can charge via usb cable fine. Spoke with HTC and Verizon, and I was the first person to report this issue. Per HTC this "must be" a hardware defect, not easily fixable, and new phone sent out. Should get tomorrow and I think HTC is going to look at my device. They seemed surprised by this problem. So you are not alone.
I have been holding off on getting a wireless charger to see what people are reporting but now im thinking i should of got it right with my phone to see if i also would have similar issues and if so i could of changed out my phone to a brand new one rather a refurb. I will follow this post to see if more people report the same issue
I can report that my DNA has done all it's charging(except when plugged in for file transfer/unlock/adb commands) on a Nokia Fatboy Pillow and it's freaking great. Does it charge slower? Yes. Is it worth it for the convenience? Yep, no question about it.

Anyone have any tips for a Note not charging? Tried a few cables. It is rooted and has a custom ROM, so I feel like I am stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Anyone have any experience with this that maybe could point me in the direction of how to get my phone back to working normally?
Flash back to stock?
Does it still connect to your computer? If it's not charging & not connecting, your charging port is probably broken. You could probably manage with an external battery charger & a couple of batteries you can charge & rotate, like these-
Try blowing the port out with compressed air? Otherwise, yeah, you're looking at a replacement phone.

Same thing happened to a 'friend'. That part is very easy to change out. I don't know if you can buy it by itself though. What I 'heard' you can do is buy a new note from BB switch the charging ports and return it. Just make sure the battery is charged when u return it.

But I do need to flash back to stock first, right?
I flashed a stock rooted rom and they were cool with that. But it would depend on the person. Does the port work if you hold it in a certain position?

Yeah. I tried around 3 or 4 chargers (car, oem, etc.), and none worked. I got home last night... Plugged it into my computer with a cable I had left at my computer, and it was charged in the morning.
Maybe I can give it some more time to make sure it wasn't something just disrupting the pin connections.

Try a new charger! I have had micro usbs go bad. Look for dents, and check to see if those two little teeth are still sticking out.

The exact same thing happened to me. My Note stopped charging completely. As previously stated, you can get an external battery charger but your best bet might be a replacement phone.
From what I was told by a local phone repair shop, its not an easy fix. I'm not sure how correct that is.
However, AT&T replaced mine and it was quite an easy process.

My phone just stopped charging. Luckily, it has 50% charge left, and I have a backup iPhone. Has anyone else experienced this problem and had their phone successfully replaced?
If so, did you go through AT&T or Samsung? If I go into an AT&T store, will they be able to give me a replacement right there? If not, will they at least be able to start the repair process?

I claimed a warranty exchange. Went to AT&T and they gave me the warranty number. I don't think I've ever had a phone swapped in-store even though I have insurance.

Your charging port could be broken, you can always buy a wall charger for cheap on amazon to charge your battery..and might as well pick up another battery while your at it. Very convenient.

That's a good short term fix, but it's inconvenient and by the time you get that wall charger you'll have a new phone via warranty exchange.
I have a OEM charging cradle and battery I got on shopandroid for cheap. It was well worth it.

I have the same problem with my 3 month old note (At&t i717). No pressure pull or anything was done to the phones USB port in fact it happened in the middle of the night while charging, it just stopped charging on its own. It's stock rom never rooted 2.3.6. Picked up the phone this morning was about 50% i didnt pay too much attention, got in the car and plugged in and noticed it is not charging. I thought its my trusty Chinese charger but it was not, came back home tried home charger the laptop plus USB cable and non worked. I am using original home charger and samsung USB cable. Cleaning the port did nothing. Rebooting few times and pulling the battery out did not help either.
And then the strangest thing happened. While it was plugged in (without me even touching it) after 20 minutes of being plugged in suddenly it made its DING sound and started charging. It has been charging everywhere since then, that was a few hours ago. I am worried it may do this again. It is definitely a software issue to me. I didn't touch the phone and started recharging all on its own!
I bought this note off Craigslist and its only about 3 months old and still under warranty but I don't have the receipt so Samsung says f/u. Very pissed at Samsungs poor customer service, really rude people in the Philippines at customer service, when I told them I bought the phone on Craigslist used, they acted like I have stolen their family jewels and did not want to talk to me. They came up with lame BS excuses like warranty doesn't transfer to second owner (it does, it's mandatory in the USA magnuson moss act ). HTC in contrast has always services my used phones without receipt using the IMEI they check and know it's still under warranty. They place a temporary charge on the card but they have never charged me anything and have promptly repaired my phones multiple times over the past couple of years.
I've replaced my phone twice under a try warranty. It was super easy and the second time they sent me a brand new device. Also have your charger replaced as well, it a warranty issue also.

Anyone know if the LG WCP-700 Charging pad was recalled? I called Verizon about the charging issue I'm having, (starting them stopping randomly) I have tried every different position and nothing seems to help, When I talked to verizon the told me they no longer carry it.
I think they are ramping down/stopping production of it, but its not being recalled.

A little off topic but you might try another charging pad to see if it is your phone. Some are losing wireless charging capabilty altogether and phones are getting replaced.

I haven't heard of a recall, but I can tell you I am aware of 2 incidents where this charger severely overheated phones. When I returned mine to get the Nokia charger, they said they have gotten a lot of them returned.

buy it on amazon
I just bought one recently on amazon (2 day prime shipping). It came in perfect condition and works awesome with the nexus 4. It gets a little warm but thats what happens in the induction process. The rubberized texture is perfect for the crazy slippery glass back.
I dont see any issues with it.

It was a problem for me. It would take about 5 hours to charge the phone to 99% and just slightly warm, then the temp goes up and up and up till phone kicked out at 130 degrees and turned off red hot. Never would hit 100% and kick out. I took it back and Verizon rep said they are all coming back when using with DNA. I don't think its compatible with DNA, but everyone on here argues that it is. Bottom line. Doesn't work properly and will severly shorten phone and battery life.

Got the DNA and wcp700 this past weekend
Charged completely (slight warmth)
Does take about 3-4 hours to charge (haven't really paid close attention on exact time)
It appears they are phasing it out, since folks are having a hard time locating them to purchase. I have the LG WCP-700 and it works fine with my DNA. Every night I charge it up and it is full in the morning with normal temperature...~80°. I can place it anywhere on the plate and it will detect and start to charge. No complaints here.
I'm starting to have issues with my phone. My fat boy charges for about 30 secs then drops off. I then tried my jbl power up speaker and same problem it's my dna. I might have to put in for a replacement.

Quick overview...been running hyperdrive rls7 with some mods and been running nice. All of the sudden today when I got in my car, the verizon charger that always works with my phone says its now incompatible and the battery is not charging. Got home and hooked up to various chargers at different wall sockets...same message. Thought it might be a rom issue but restored to just stock rooted and am getting the same message. When the phone was in recovery (twrp) mode however i could tell it was charging bc it had a "58 +" which means it was charging (also it was at 50 before I restored).
What is going on and is this just the phone not thinking its getting charged, when it really is? I've googled this and have researched a decent amount and most issues of this type are a device issue...not rom specific. I really dont want to get a replacement device that has ME7. Any help would be much appreciated.
Try cleaning the charger port and also see if there is a bent pin in the port.

I'm very careful when plugging my phone in since my wife has bent hers before. The only way that my phone seems to charge is if I revert back to rooted stock and throw the phone into recovery. The phone is recognizing that there is a charger plugged in. It's just saying it's the wrong one. I went to Android Phorums and it looks like several people over there are experiencing the same exact problem. It looks to be some issue with the motherboard. This guy replaced the "usp ribbon" inside the phone and that seemd to fix it...? Dont really want to open up my phone, but looks as though I might have to unless I want to restore stock rom and charge in recovery every night and then restore hyperdrive in the morning when I wake up (this is what i'm doing today at least)....

Link above goes to another android forum that shoes exactly what is going on with my phone, but the one fix that is within means me taking the phone apart which isn't something I necessarily want to do...please help...anyone...tried cleaning out the port on phone, but the device is rather new, so not much to clean.
Also, just tried letting the phone charge with the phone off, along with the gray battery screen and the vibration every 10 seconds on the way to work and it actually charged up by 4%, so it seems the battery is chargable, just not while the phone is on. Something is def wrong here, but all is not lost. Any other fix known to anyone other than taking my phone apart and replacing the "USB ribbon"?
Also, when connecting to a windows computer, the phone is not recognized...there is a usb connection in the status bar for just a second and then it goes away. Believe this is all hardware related, but dont want to trade or get replacement device since I dont want to be locked down.
Yikes! I sure hope this is limited. Sorry to hear about you (& others) having this though.
You may want to consider purchasing a couple of extra batteries and an external charger. Anker brand batteries on Amazon are reported to be as good as the oem battery. You can get 2 batteries plus an external charger for $23. Beware of cheap oem batteries. They are often counterfeits from China that are not very good.
Sorry to hear that your problem is most likely a hardware problem. Some people are comfortable taking their phone apart and some are not. You will need to decide for yourself if you think it is worth the risk. I hope everything works out for the best for you.

Yeah...that's what I was thinking aout regarding an external charger. The good news is, is that this phone has pretty good battery usage. Just not what I expected from a $500 piece of electronics after 2 months of use. Thanks for the Amazon info!
I prefer an external charger anyway. The phone does not get hot while the battery is charging.

I believe the next to last line in the op answers your question. Chances are the update to ME7 would be installed by the techs. There is also the fact that it can take a while. I sent a phone to Samsung for warranty work last year and it took 4 weeks to get it back.

OK, so all of the sudden yesterday my phone started charging normally and connected to my computer as well. Basically, I think there was something wrong with my charging port, which has since fixed itself. Called a local service center and they mentioned that samsung ports go out all the time. If this happens to anyone else, not all S4 ports are the same...make sure you get the one for the Verizon GS4...
My Droid DNA has Qi wireless charging issues. It sometimes works fine. Other times it connects and then loses the connection after a minute or 2 and never reconnects unless I pick it up and put it back on the charger.
I wasn't sure if it's my phone or if it's a rom issue because it used to work fine, but I've switched roms a few times since then. I'm kind of leaning towards a rom issue because I just flashed a new rom and now notice that for the first time ever after it loses the connection it may not reconnect after picking it up and putting it back down. Only a reboot will allow it to reconnect.
I have 2 Qi chargers (the Nokia's, which get great reviews) and it happens on both and it started happening on both right at the same time, so I know it's not the charger.
Does this happen to you as well? Do you have a fix?
Thanks!

What ROM are you running. I run stock I got tired of custom Roms. I just ordered the Nokia dt-900 from at&t for 25$ online I guess we will see how it goes when it gets here. Maybe try running stock or another ROM and see how it goes the ROM your currently on might not fully support it.

Hey guys. Received my S5 yesterday and so far I am not pleased with it. I'm pretty sure that the mic is faulty, as I am getting terrible quality when on the phone. (Oddly enough when I am on speaker or using the headphone microphone, people heard me just fine.)
Furthermore, the phone won't charge! It keeps saying that there is no cable plugged in, even though it is. Even more weird, the phone is recognized just fine by my computer and I can move things around on the internal and external memory, but it won't charge. I cleaned the port and tried everything I could think of (factory reset and all that) and still no success. If it does somehow start charging, the phone goes into charging for 6 seconds and then stops. I managed to charge it about 1 percent in an hour.
Any tips on what I could do? Taking it to T-Mobile tomorrow but in the meantime I thought I might ask for suggestions or opinions, especially since right now it is hovering at 9%$ battery life and will soon die.
I think if you ordered it you'll be forced to send it back for a replacement. The store will only replace it if u bought it from the store.
I had this happen to me but several years ago so idk if this is still true.
Either way good luck.

Or it could just be the charger or cable. When you connect to PC are you using same data cable? In regards to bad mic... Return it!

Hey guys quick update. Yes I am using the same cable to charge and connect, and I also tried another cable from my Note 3 so I know that for some reason the port is the issue.
Went to the store today and was told that I had to handle the return over the phone since the order was placed online. Extremely inconvenient as I have to put up with the damaged device for a few more days, but at least they are using overnight shipping so it will be here by Monday. To anyone that might read this and got their phone online, don't bother going to the store and just call T-Mobile if something went wrong and you need an exchange.
