Update: the phone will charge properly only if connected to my laptop USB ports but still won't charge from any wall charger.
Did you try different sockets or chargers (not the cable)?

I need help!
My phone died: absolutely no signs of life, no reboot, no charging light, nothing at all!
I thught that it was the SDS but I then realized that it might be the battery and so I just bought a new one. To my great surprise, the phone does not charge the battery. When I bought the battery it was at 46% charge and after 8 hours of charging the new battery was down to 41% charge!!!
If I try to charge the batttery when the phone is switched off, no red light appears but the phone vibrates intermittently (every 5 seconds) and keeps doing this until I disconnect the charger.
If I try to charge the phone when it is switched on, the charging Symbol inside the battery icon appears and also the red light is on...
But in both cases the battery does not get charged! I tried 3 different battery chargers (original Samsung) and 3 different cables.
I heard somewhere that there can be some software malfunction that causes this but I can't remember or find the right post...
Help!
Weird... If it's a software malfunction you'll have no chance of saving it since you can't get anything to start.

P.S. Try these steps to get into download mode.
No download mode?
If your phone won’t enter download mode, you can try three things:
A USB jig. Don’t pin your hopes on this, they rarely succeed in this scenario.
‘Jump starting’ – You might need someone else to give you a hand for this. Take the battery out of your phone and wait 30 seconds. Now, press the button combination to enter download mode, and with this combination still depressed, get someone to put the battery back in. Hopefully this will jolt your phone into download mode.
Take out the phone battery, and re-insert it, but don’t turn the phone on. Now, plug in the charger while holding the volume down button. Keep holding volume down till you enter download mode.
If your phone won’t enter download mode, and will do nothing but get hot when you attempt to do anything to it (charge it, turn it on), then your motherboard is in need of replacement.
Your options
I’ve seen a lot of people, when their Odin flash fails, either:
Give up. Not a good option.
Flash a .pit file. That should be used as an absolute last resort. There’s a lot to try before getting to that stage! If a flash of a .pit file fails in Odin, your phone is well and truly unrecoverable, and you will need a motherboard (MB) replacement.
Send their phone to a service centre. That costs money (& you’re without a phone for a week or so).
