What is even more strange: IF it is charging, it will not recognize when plug the wall charger OFF - it keeps thinking to be charging.
Rebooting helps then, so I can live with that. But still, very strange..

Any idea, whats going on there?
You have not soldered the port in properly, you need to do a check of your solder work because it is clear the rear pins are not making with the board and if you cannot get the solder from the pins to the through hole solder then you must hard wire with link wire back to the components re the diagram that is also very clear.
