My charger seems to turn off after an hour or more (no LED lights are on). I have to unplug/plug it in again. Is this normal? My phone will not charge when the LED lights are off

Mine works fine and it doesnt do that( doesnt need to be unpluged after a while). As soon as your phone is "charging" the led's turns solid blue... sometimes if you are on the border of the charging zone it might flash green and blue. Are you using a 5V 2 A charger for it?

Specifically, I don't know how long, but, the cool thing about this charger is it turns off when it's fully charged, that is, the lights don't flash any more. So, plug it in to charge, and lights flash on and off when charging --- when they stop flashing, it's done. Usually about an hour or so when fully dead. Also, leaving it plugged into the wall overnight hasn't affected it in any way. Hope that helps.

I will add, when you are not charging your phone or when your phone is fully charged, make sure you remove cord from the charging device altogether... The device doesn't have a shut off capability. If there is a cord plugged into device, it starts using its power if it the cord isn't hooked into anything else. If your device is hooked to your phone it doesn't stop charging at 100%. The only way to shut off device is to detach everything from it

Mine has a red light that comes on and stays on while charging. I will update when it's done charging to let you know what it does.OK, after charging the red light went off. At that point I disconnected from the charger and reconnected it, the light came on for a second and went right back off so it looks like you're fully charged. Hope this helps and enjoy!!

Your charger may be damaged or the phone itself maybe damaged also make sure it is the correct battery for your phone. I had a battery that was not charging but it turned out my charger was bad.

From what I understand from reading the owners manual, that indication is the chargers way of telling you that the battery is very discharged and is only at about 25% of its capacity. The LEDs are supposed to blink, not light up solid, as the charger is charging. If there is nothing wrong with the battery, the charge level should start going up after a while and in a few hours, the LEDs should read at 100% (solid, not blinking, red, red, yellow, green LEDs). I hope this helps you Mary! Michael R

I think it has to do with the mAh output. It does the same to me. If I plug it in at night it will be at 100% by the morning. But if its going dead and I'm on it, instead of charging when I plug it up like it would with the original samsung cord, it will die! So like I said it has a lot to do it the output of the charge. Hope I could help.

On my charger (VP130 Duo-charger), the LEDs always goes solid red whenever a battery (regular or Gold) is plugged in. I have to remember to remove the battery(s) after one hour for a refresh or three hours for a maximum charge so that they don't get over-charged. I am not familiar with your charger.

If the charger's blue light and green lights do not blink after positioning the phone on it, then what I have found is, you must unplug the cord from the charger plug it back in. Then, the charger, with the phone position on it (with the battery side of the phone down), should have a blinking blue and blinking green light appear when the charger is charging the phone. It appears to me that the unplugging and plugging in the charger resets the charger correctly. Otherwise, it works fine. I find that I must do this probably one of out every five to ten times that I use the charger.

This is a normal behavior with battery extenders and overnight phone connections.. Modern cell phones and lithium batteries don't continuously charge, they stop when they get to 100% and then start again at 97% or so. This means once your phone is fully charged it stops drawing power from the charger, and the charger shuts off. So 30 minutes later when your phone battery is low enough to try to charge again the external power isn't there.

It takes mine a full night to get close to full. About 11 or 12 hours will charge it 100%. Try using a different charger and cable and charging it again. If it charges correctly with the new charger, replace your charger. If it still doesn't, replace the Lumsing.

I assume you are talking about charging the unit, and if that is the case then J. Young is correct. You cannot seem to utilize the device while it is plugged in and charging. Another thing is that when it is charging the LED flickers all wacky like when it is on. Not a bad thing, but worth mentioning.

It's probably defective. As long as you have a 2A charger (same as Samsung Galaxy or iPad, bigger than iPhone) it will charge and show you lights as it's charging. I had 1 that worked great, and another I had to return. Also, Raymond is right that you need to use the micro USB port to charge.

I have the exactly the same question. The charging light of mine stays red after an overnight charging. That contradicts to what the manual said: "orange while charging, green when it is fully charged". It looks like it is a common problem so that mine is not defective, then I do not need to return it.

The red light should go off when fully charged. If it doesn't you could have a defective battery that never reaches full charge. Try another battery before you conclude that it is a charger problem.

I have one charger that works, one that is toast. When I plug-in the one that works (without a battery in it) the LED comes on green, but flashes red about every half-second or so. If your charger does that, your battery is probably bad. I had one bad battery, and 1 bad charger, and I was going crazy till I connected with someone who had working chargers and batteries so I could do some tests. Hope that helps.

My red indicator light never has gone off. I am not actually sure of this, but I simply leave the charger plugged in (AC mode) in the evening, then take it out of the charger next morning. I don't see any indication of overcharging or battery memory developing.
