Announced in August 2017, the Galaxy Note8 is the successor to the recalled Galaxy Note7. The Note8 was made available to the public for purchase in September of 2017.

Why does it continuously vibrate when charging?

Sometimes, after the phone is completely dead, when I plug it in to charge, it just vibrates and does not charge.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

You're 100% correct. My S9 will vibrate continuously and not charge when the battery is completely dead; however, I was using a USB hub to charge the phone. When I use the power adapter that came with the phone it works just fine. My guess is a completely dead battery requires a specific amount of power to charge correctly. After that, the lower wattage USB charger works just fine.

I was just about to send this, new to me, s9+ back to the seller. I grabbed a new cable today and plugged it in my usb multicharger and it continuously vibrated like it might blow up. After reading this post I plugged it into the block, then the outlet and its charging. Now up to 85%. Thank you so much for posting your information. It was 100% helpful. Awesome.

Thank you for the information. I needed my old Samsung S9 IMEI and specs for trade-in purposes but the battery was dead for quite while. When I attempted to charge it using a USB A to C cord from a wall USB outlet, it vibrated continuously. I switched to the original Samsung charger and it charged normally.

Maybe your port is bad. Does it happen when you wirelessly charge?

I agreed with this. It sounds like your port is bad, or your cable is not working properly.

Test

-Inspect your port for corrosion, LED Light and a magnifying glass and look for greenish substance.

- See if your port is clogged, if so use a toothpick and carefully remove debris

- Try different Cables, especially if your cable has exposed materials.

Nope I've got a bad port it doesn't do that so you can rule that out it only vibrates continuously when it detects moisture

Thanks so much, guys. Using the charging block and USBC-USBC cable that came with my newer Samsung A 54 worked. You saved my life. I was hyperventilating 'cause I have irreplaceable contacts and messages from my non-portable WeChat ID on my "ancient" but beautiful S9.

Had an s9 that had been sitting on the shelf for a long time and could not get past the vibrating when I wanted to charge it. After reading this post I switched to the charger that I user for an active phone that fixed the issue.

I fixed mine by putting the charger in, once it vibrates, remove it and put it immediately back and it should charge.
