SM-P605 - Stops Charging When Screen Goes Off

[RoyaL]

Hello,

I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition (P605 3G+Wifi) that began to stop charging when the screen goes off. Yes, it's weird but not uncommon. All the topics I found (like this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775833) are fixed by using the original Charger + Cable, which I already did. I even purchased from Samsung a new cable, just in case, with no luck. I also have opened the tablet and resettled all the connections (the vga flat cable and the battery connector). No luck either. :crying:

The only way I have to charge my Note is by installing an app that keeps the screen on while charge. Than it takes 10 hours to charge (with wifi, bluetooth, etc off, and brightness in the lowest) 100% but at least I can keep using my tablet.
EDIT: It also charges when turned off, but the charging speed is as slow as when on with the screen on. Only when on, I connect it to power, it starts charging, the screen goes off and, after a couple of seconds, screen comes on again and its not charging. Its like someone has pulled the charging cable.

I am tired of this and would like to have a definitive fix. If I buy a new battery, will it be fix? What is exactly the problem here? Reflash the ROM will it fix? Does any one knows?

Thanks for the help.

A full wipe and reinstall would likely fix your problem. I've been in this problem once, where the device charges under any condition, but it does so s l o w l y, no matter through what connection. Solved this by doing a NAND wipe through ODIN and re-installing all with that too.

What's your current ROM and bootloader? What kind of modifications have you done?

I'm running 5.1.1 stock rom with root only.

Will have to try that solution and reinstall all my stuff. Thanks.

Good news. Problem is solved.

So I wipe data... no luck, same problem. Download ROM and ODIN, entered in Download mode, connected the USB and... Nothing happened... only the tablet starting charging but the OS didn't detected anything. Tried other PC, same result. So the problem must be on the USB Port.

Checked this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZcwHd0wy0M

Opened the tablet and took off everything like shown there. Including USB Port, flat cable and battery. Reassembled eveything and... voila... problem solved.

Thanks.
