Before two weeks my phone was charging and i accidentally pulled the cable but for the moment nothing happened. My phone was ok and cable was ok. After 2 days when i tried to connect my charger nothing happens. Charger wont work. At first i thought the charger was damaged when i pulled its cable and went to buy a new one. After i bought a new one it was the same problem. After that my phone started to do some crazy things. Airplane mode,Driving Mode,Charging Mode even when it is not connected. I cant do anything.My phone do whatever it wants. I tried to clean the charging port . I blowed in it and tried to clean with some kind of little screwdriver and i tried to charge it agan but nothing. Sometimes it start charging and after 2 days it dont charge anymore. I dont now what to do. I have tried installing stock samsung firmware cuz i thought it is cuz i was on RR 3.1.2 but the same thing. Plz anyone help me. I dont now what to do more.
Use a toothpick to bend the flat connector inside the socket slightly up towards the screen of the phone.

If that doesn't help and you're still on warranty, send the phone to samsung
I've got 4 different car chargers that *used* to work for my Note. I know they worked, because I did quite a bit of work over the last year which required the use of the GPS on my phone. Each one is > 1A. However, recently they've all stopped working for my Note. I've tested them using a Galaxy S3 and a Desire HD, and the chargers appear to charge the other phones just fine.
I seem to have no problems with AC or the computer charger it however. I've also taken the same USB cable I've used on the AC/computer and plugged it in to 3 of my car chargers, still no luck. Any ideas?
Your charge port needs to be replaced. If you're still under warranty, get it replaced. Otherwise there is a guide around here to DIY replacement I think..
I think we need more info. Since the phone charges at home the first suggestion is not helpful. The port is fine or it wouldn't charge at home. What ROM are you using? Did you try flashing a different ROM to test the charger in car? What were the results?
get a toothpick and make sure the metal in the port isnt touching any metal , then try , these ports in samsung phones are cheap , my wp7 focus had this happen , if it doesnt work ,its easy to solder it back in place , just open it up and make sure the solder is correct!

The day after my post the AC charger stopped working with my phone as well. So after trying a couple more chargers, I took it into AT&T and got it replaced under warranty. However, since my wife and I both have the Galaxy Note, I may have to replace one in the future. Just in case someone needs it..

After of few months with medium usage, micro usb port, does not charging anymore. Charger is ok confirmed with my phone, but the port seems not fit corect with green light on. I tried to keep it steady many ways but only once succeed to charge my tablet one week ago. I keep it all night long many times but nothing happened. Anyone with the same problem and possible fix?

I had a similar issue, where the port just didn't work at all. The MicroUSB port (like the others) is rather fragile and can stop working through normal use. If you're still under warranty, I'd contact your seller/Archos for a repair/replacement. Failing that it probably a job for a repair shop or time to open up your tablet and have a look yourself (if you're that way inclined).
I've had two USB charging ports fail since I bought my 101 G9 last April, each time the tablet was replaced with a new unit from Archos, the last time being in January. This time the charger failed after just one week! I'm still waiting for Archos to get back to me on this and am using an old HTC HD2 charger which charges without the "slow charge" issue.
It's down to poor quality components from Archos, I've not had problems with the micro USB charging ports on my past four phones (2 x Samsung, 2 x HTC) and these get far more use than the Archos ever has done.
I think your only solution is a warranty return. God luck with that!
Hi all, I bought my S3 9 months ago. First 4-5 months, everything was okey. Then I started using Custom Roms and unfortunately usual charging problem started to occur. I changed my cable first and for 2 week new cable worked. Then it started not charging too. I bought a new one. That worked for 2 weeks too. Then a new one... I'm fed up with this. I don't wanna pay any more for charger so what's the solution? I resetted rom counter and returned back to stock rom but no it didn't work. So if you can help me in a way, I'll appreciate it. Thanks
do you charge the GS3 from an USB port or from the power supply (travel charger)?
i have a few ideas, so you can try if you want.
1.- If charging from USB port of PC, make sure if this port dont have a short circuit or is damaged, USB ports from PC's can damage devices in some cases.
2.- if charging from the travel charger, (that thing like an ice cube) ... switch the charger with a friend who also have an gs3 and try for a few days to see if the charger is the problem or not.
3.- Do you warranty valid , could be problem of the micro usb port in the device.
Hope i have helped a little.:fingers-crossed: good luck!
I'd say most likely reason for the problem is your phone USB connector. It could be a bit worn and new cable works for two weeks until the cable plug wears itself out too. Having the combination charge won't work.
While your phone is un rooted, return it for warranty.
I have a weird problem with my Z2..
few days back it stopped charging through the usb port and couldn't be detected by my PC, I did try different chargers and cables.. but it did charge through the dock..
Took it to Sony service center and they declared the mother board needed to be changed and it was expensive.. almost same as the price of a new z2.. the guy there advised me to take it to any private repairing shop, changing only the usb port would be cheaper.. so today I took it to a repair shop.. but to my surprise the technician there said my phone was charging fine..
I was not sure but it definitely was charging... so brought it back home.. and... not charging again... tried all chargers that I had... tried connecting it to PC, nothing ! it did not go to flash mode even.. but did go to download mode..
and then I tried a 2.1A charger.. and there it was charging as if it had no problems ever !
So its charging with a 2.1 A charger but not through the genuine 1.5 A charger.. though it does still charge through the dock fine... and it still can't be detected by the PC..
Any ideas.. ??
I am still guessing its hardware but hoping its not...
anyone ? come on give me ideas..

I'm not sure what the consumer laws are where you live but I do know that in the U.K. where I live this would get me a new phone if Sony didn't repair the phone as mine is under a year old.
