I, unfortunately, have had my original Samsung Galaxy Note for 2 years now and have had a multitude of issues with it.
The latest issue is that is does not like to charge with any cords besides the HTC cord/plug combo I still have from my old HTC smartphone. This issue started about 1-2 months ago when I noticed my GNote stopped charging on my Chargepod which I've had just as long as the phone itself. Now it's no longer charging with my T-Mobile brand car charger and my Phillips brand ChargeOn on-the-go charger that I've used with my phone for over a year with zero issues.
When I try to charge my phone on these chargers or any other cord, I have to hold the cord a certain way to keep it connected or it either disconnects from my phone and/or my phone charges "backwards". Last weekend I was on a train for an hour and my phone was at 50%. I plugged in the Phillips ChargeOn and while my phone recognized it and said it was charging, the battery continued to drain and my phone eventually died. I kept the ChargeOn connected, hoping it would eventually charge but the screen changed to show the Android Robot and said it was downloading something and not to shut down my phone. That eventually went off when it sucked all the juice out of my ChargeOn.
So, why is my phone being picky about what chargers and cords I use? Now my Chargepod, ChargeOn, and car charger are all useless and I have to replace them. I don't know if it's my phone or these non-cell phone branded chargers that eventually stop working but this is very annoying. I absolutely need a portable power pack because my GNote dies ridiculously fast even though I have a new OEM battery in it. I contacted Samsung regarding this issue, but of course I received some stock response as I always do from them.
