hi all,
my x10i suddenly stoped charging. It was connected to my pc and I noticed that the LED light is not shinning. Then I tried to charge it from wall adapter and car charger, but with no result.
Sometimes when Im lucky, it connects somehow and charges a while, but my pc wont recognize it.
My question:
Is it a hardware defect?
yeh I want to know the same thing. My phone suddenly stopped charging at all. I tried several different chargers and USB cables, issue remains. Computer wont detect as when USB cable is attached no light on x10a? Can someone help and question remains the same:
Is it hardware related defect?
also how can it be fixed?
It is most likely a hardware problem. The fix requires some soldering work to be done.
See linked post.

USB socket at fault.

Today i found out my SGS2 have problems charging the phone, not only that. i also have problems with USB file mode, and keis mode. and if the phone is turned off. i only once got it to charge without booting. else when i connect the USB it boot the OS.
What weird thing is, that ODIN works without problem every time!
The problem appeared after upgraded to Darky Rom KG6 with jkay mod. but don´t think it has anything to do with that.
I reflashed to a Stock KG6 (still same problem)
From OS restore to default, and format (still same problem)
tried to flash back to KE2 stock. an but on CWM, and clear battery stat, and system cache.
flashed backup with a KE2 Kernel (still had the same problem)
What i found out is that, when i disconnected the wall plug charger, the phone still was in a state of charging. and it don´t give the sound notify when attaching the USB. but when touch the USB cable it suddenly charge and give the sound. but it can also go in MTP mode. or start Voice recognize.
Could the be a faulty USB port on the phone, or can Battery State and kernel updates have something to do with this problem?
im now pretty sure this has something to do with the USB port. when i just spoke on the phone. it suddenly began to change between Car mode a normal.
i than tried an alternative why to deal with the problem. I tried with a hairdryer after taken out the battery, sim and sd card, and carefully heat the back of the phone.
for 5 hour there has not been any problem. both the desk dock, and wall charger is working.
got a dejavu from the xbox days and RROD.
I have the same issue. I think the USB port is faulty.
The phone reacts to different electrical resistor values on some pins of usb port that triggers car mode, desk mode, etc. So, somthing is faulty in the usb board that reports to the system that has something connected to it: charger, car dock, desk dock, usb jig, etc.
I can't find any solution on the forum, I tried with several roms and got nothing.
So... I'm waiting for a USB Jig to reset counter, back to stock rom and send it back to store for warranty
My problem seems to be fixed by using the hairdryer on the usb port. I think the problem appear from the why you hold the phone and if your hånd become sweaty. Because there are nothing to protection the usb port like the sgs1.

So the other week I was charging my x10 and it was working, then later i noticed the light was off and it has not been able to charge since then. I have replaced the USB port on the motherboard but this didnt solve the problem. Is there any other parts on the phone that commonly fail that I can try replacing? The phone doesnt connect to the computer through any usb cables either.
Hello, i am new to xda-developers, so please have patience with me
I was using my original usb cable to charge my phone from my laptop. But one day some strange things started to happen, when my phone's battery was completely depleted i connected the usb and phone started turning on and off very often and I wasn't able to charge it even a bit. When connected to wall socket charger everything seems to be fine, it's charging.
But now the usb is not working, neither computer sees it (before i used it), i used other cables, no good. Now it's original ginderbread ROM, maybe i should reinstall it, but i can't do anything since usb is not working in any way.
Maybe someone of you had similar problems and know how to solve it?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick reply!
I tried cleaning it with Tooth Brush and even used special liquid for cleaning electronics contacts and corrosion removal, everything seems to be clean. But still nothing happens when connecting to laptop.
P.S. Same cable is working when charging from wall socket charger, so it seems the contacts must be clean and intact (at least power supply contacts), so maybe it should charge from laptop?
P.S.S. I forgot to mention, when the phone's battery is depleted, when i connect to laptop, it doesn't charge but in time phone becomes hot. So maybe this would prove it's a hardware problem?
Try different laptop USB port. If this doesnt help than probably your data cable is faulty. Just replace it with another one.
I think Your phone is fully operational if AC charging without any problems.

I have already tried different laptop ports, even different laptops, already tried with different cables (which all functioning properly with other devices and all are marked U2). I am pretty sure that's not connection / cable problem.
Hello, I received a Verizon galaxy s4 for screen repair. After replacing the screen I tested the device and it worked fine. The issue that I encountered was the USB port, I would connect it to the phone and it would not charge it nor would it show up on the PC. I though it could be a faulty USB Port on the device, so I ordered a replacement and replaced it. Yet I still have this issue, even while using a brand new USB port/ribbon/connector. Does not matter if i connected it to a wall charger, car charger, battery charger, or to the computer, it will not read the connection and will not charge or show up in the computer.
I need help in fixing this issue, I really don't know what to try and cant even think of possible things that are causing this. Don't know if this is a hardware issue or software issue.
I try to post here to ask if there is a sort of debugging/logging way to find the origin of my problem.
When connected to the USB cable, the charging icon starts blinking as if the cable is connected and disconnected continuously. In this condition the phone is not charging, but will discharge very quickly. It’s also difficult to connect to your computer to update or sync because it’s difficult to establish a stable usb connection. This problem does not occur when the charging is done via the magnetic connector. This is the second Sony Xperia Z2 with this problem. The first has been replaced by Sony as a defect under warranty, but without success, the same problem occurred after a few days of use. I observed that the issue is started again after after using the magnetic charger . I've also tried to reset the phone and make a full recovery but the issue remain.
I would like to understand if it's an Hardaware related problem or is a software bug.
