Help Battery Icon Shows Phone is Charging...but is Disconnected

Hello, everyone.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Express, model # SGH-I437P.

Android 4.1.2. I’ve had the phone for a couple of years.

Something odd happened this evening, for the first time. I was wondering if anyone might know what is causing this problem.

The problem: When I plugged in the phone to recharge the battery, it did not make a sound to indicate the charging process had begun. It has ALWAYS generated a tone to indicate the charging process was enabled.

More importantly, I disconnected the charger, but the phone’s display indicated it was still charging. Also, the battery icon in the upper right corner (next to the time display) indicated it was still charging. How can it be charging when I disconnected the charging cable?

I restarted the phone a few times, and the icon reset, but the problem began again when I connected and disconnected the cable. I even shut off the phone, removed the back, removed the battery, and reinstalled it.

Right now, the phone is hooked up to the charging cable, and appears to be charging properly. I’m just curious about the icon showing it is charging when it is not hooked up to the charging cable.

Does anyone know if this is a common problem, and if so, what’s the solution? Thank you very much! Jd
