everything was fine till now with the charger,lately i have this strange charging problem which goes like this..
previously when we connect the wall/usb charger charging used to start immediately but now it takes time..i need to wait for 45 seconds then the light appears..??
previosly it used to attain 100% charge quickly..but now its slogging??i mean very slow trust me...
responds late to the power n then slow charge??????????????
its the same even when i try with usb and the worst part is it doesn even detect usb connection but charge at slow rate??
any ideas?thanks in advance!!
right now im on cobratos 2.3.4 awesome miui rom!!
So you are using APP2SDcard? You are going to have problems mounting it to USB, if the SDCard is already being used.
For the 45 second thing....I donno....do you have any Task Manager app where you can make sure you don't have like 10+ apps running? Check that. Turn all apps off and then try.

Noo im not using app2sd..the phone gets charged but not able to mount when connected thru usb????

Can you unmount the SDCard under Settings->SDCard and Phone Storage?
If you can unmount it....do that....then plug the phone into a computer (using the original USB cable that came with the phone)
And try using different USB ports or a different computer.
It not charging for 45 seconds after you plug it in would make me want to reflash and start from scratch again. Not a good sign.
That is probably what I would suggest next.
Will try with a different computer and let you no...
apart from 45 seconds delay even the charging process has become very slow:-(
Tried even with different usb ports and computer..no luck
Phones usb socket has gone I guess

Can the computer recognize the phone in flash mode?
If so, try flashing 2.1 with flashtool to fix the problem

What about getting into xrecovery?
You could flash a different ROM with the baseband it matches.

Yea could do that but still the problem persists
Have you tried changing the usb cable? I was convinced my usb port had gone, as it took ages to recognise the charger, and I often had to wiggle the cable where it was plugged into the phone to get it to start charging.
Then I left my cable at home and had to buy a cheap £1 blackberry charge cable from poundland to charge my phone at work - and all problems went away!
After checking the ends of both cables, it looks like the usb pins have become bent inside the small end of the usb cable (mini-usb end).
I'd doublecheck this before doing anything more drastic as it's a simple thing to overlook (well, I did!)
Yep tried with different cables too..i don't think its the problem of usb port too as there is a late recognition ..slow charging but no sd connection

Yesterday I plugged my phone into my PC and went to set it to mount as mass storage but the USB connected notification wasn't there. The phone charged fine off the USB, just didn't see the PC.
I thought this may be a PC issue until going to use it on my HD Multimedia dock, phone wouldn't recognize the dock was attached. Then went and tried it in the car dock, same thing, phone charged but didn't go into cardock mode.
Also not sure if this is related but since then battery has been discharging quite quickly.
Please help.

Hi, did you use the original cable ?
I noticed that the cable from my galaxy S II didn't work with the razr droid !

This will probably solve ur problem:
Uninstall all motorola from PC
Reinstall motocast 1.29
Connect ur razr in every mode, and wait it reinstall the drivers.
Cheers
Thanks, but it's the phone that's not recognizing the usb cable is plugged in. I've tried it on three PCs and the darn thing will only charge, not give usb connection options.
Get a small paintbrush and a can of Dust-Off or other compressed-gas sprayer.
Hold the phone between your knees with the USB port up. Swirl the brush around inside the USB jack while blowing air into it at the same time.
Try it now.
Micro USB jacks have a very nasty habit of collecting pocket lint. It can prevent the cables/plugs on any device from making a solid electrical contact.
This will likely become a routine operation that you perform once a week or so.
You can buy micro-USB rubber plugs that protect a female jack from damage and dirt. You should try the usual places to find one; Amazon, DigiKey, Fry's, JameCo, etc.
If this doesn't get it, you may be looking at either replacing the jack (if you can un/solder very small things), or replacing the phone itself.
PS: If you have geeky friends who like pranks, get a high-powered magnifying glass and check for Scotch Tape on the USB jack contacts. I've done this to an obnoxious iPhone FanBoyz phone before. I confessed before his battery was completely dead...

Did anyone ever find a solution to this? I'm having the exact same issue, have tried clearing out the USB port, different cables and every port on my PC. It charges on connection but doesn't recognise that it is connected to a computer rather than a power port.
Any advice?

Stock. I'm thinking of doing a factory reset as it has been freezing a lot recently and I suspect its a software issue, but I was hoping to do a proper backup first, however I lost root a while ago when I updated to ICS . I don't know if the freezing and not recognising computer could be two sides of the same issue?
Hi all, I just realized a problem with my Galaxy S2, when I charge it with my AC Adapter (the original one comes with the phone), the phone recognizes it as USB, it shows UTP (or UT... blah blah i don't remember, the same sign when you connect your phone to your laptop to copy file). Not only that, what disturbs me is that the charging current now is USB too, I didn't realize that 'cause I used to charge over-night. But now it has been charge for 4 hours and still not full yet, I download the "current widget" app and it shows exactly 451Mah , I checked on Extweaks's Misc Tab and nothing's wrong, I recheck and restart, calibrated battery, still doesn't work.
Who has the same problem with me and knows a solution? 'cause I can't wait for my phone 5 hours to charge in an afternoon like this
I'm using Checkrom Revo HD 6 (2.3.6), Siyah lastest ver for GB, I don't install anything involved battery or scripts or internal tweaks 'cause I'm no pro
P/s: Sorry for my clumsy English
First of all you should try another charger. If the charger is reported as USB device it is probably defective (at least the short between the USB data lines seems to be missing). The slow charging of the phone is just the consequence of the charger not being detected as such.
I think there is no use changing something on your phone as long as the charger is reported as USB device.
May also be worth checking the USB port is fairly clean? Some GS2's (including mine) have required a new USB port due to false reporting of USB status, e.g. charging symbol without actually being plugged in. Hope you are not in this category!
Good luck
Thanks All, first I dont think the adaptor is defective, 'cause if it broke down, it would not be able to charge at all, in this case it shows exactly the usb voltage charge, it.makes me think it's the fault of the phone.
And I think cleaning the port is a nice idea I havent tried, I'll do it and tell the result latet

Charging Cable
I have a cable that always charges my phone.
I took it apart to see what made it work.
Only two wires Red Pos. Black Neg. from the USB Plug.
The Red Pos. wire was connected to the Pos. and the White Neg.
data tab on the Micro USB side. Black Neg. to Neg.
This works to Charge Phone on the Computer, Wall Charge,
and USB adapter in the car.
Hi everyone. I own a GS3 that has been running flawlessly for about 3 weeks but since last 2 days it has developed a problem whereby it only charges via the laptop USB port and not the wall charger. I have tried factory reset, flashed two different custom ROMs based on two different firmwares, pulled battery many times, etc etc, to no avail.
The problem is random, and occasionally the phone starts charging from wall charger, but after a few minutes, charging stops. I have used the original Samsung charger, my old HTC charger, with a combination of many different USB cables and the result is always the same. The USB port appears to be undamaged however as I can use it flawlessly for everything except wall charging - that includes HDMI, USB OTG purposes, laptop file transfer etc.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Some inexplicable weirdness.
Try to return the phone. If you can reproduce the problem in the Samsung service centre they'll repair/replace for sure.

Yes, it shows up as a Media Device and I'm able to use it normally for transfers etc. There is absolutely no problem when connected to laptop, The issue is inability to charge from wall charger - any kind, and even that is sporadic. For example, if i try connecting wall charger and the phone doesn't charge, I can jumpstart it by connecting to USB port on my laptop for a few minutes, and then when I connect it to the wall charger, it starts charging again... but this lasts only a few mins before it stops charging again. With USB however, it never stops and charges all the way upto 100%
did you tried a full wipe via odin? also can you charge your mobile offline via AC? as you said you can transfer data perfeclty via usb it seems the port is damaged at all. One more thing, did you tried charging with different plug points?

Yes bala I have tried every single PowerPoint at home. No difference. The problem is sporadic.
What do you mean offline charging? Do you mean airplane mode?
I haven't tried a wipe using Odin...but I have done a full wipe and system format and clean installed CheckRom v2 after the full wipe via CWM recovery.
Is wiping via Odin different from wiping via CWM ?

i meant charging the phone after turning it off.
odin generally flashes all partitions so it should be better than cwm in this case.

I have tried three different chargers. Two Samsung and one HTC. Same problem. Full Odin flash is in order I guess... but I'm not in my hometown right now so don't have the bill etc for warranty. When I get back to Delhi I'll try calling in for a replacement.
For now I flashed the latest cfroot via Odin and looks like the charging issue is gone for now, but like I said before it is a random thing...can occur anytime. I'll keep a lookout for this...

same problem since yesterday, infact i m not able to charge throught either of wall charger or usb port.....after i reboot my around 2-3 times i can charge back through wall charger but as soon as i connect back to pc it stops charging.....could this because i m using a diffrent usb cable in pc?
I think i know the reason
The charging port has many pins(see the usb port in light, you will see metal pins having gap in between of them) inside it
pc and charger connects to different pins, so I think charger pins would be damaged or covered with an insulator like dirt

So it looks like this problem is more common than I thought it was...and I'm not the only one...
Will have to do some more reading up on this. BTW, tried a small fix and the charging seems to be OK now... but will have to test it for a couple more days to actually declare it a "fix". Let's see what happens over the next 24-48 hours.
me too havin same problem
I have the opposite problem.
When plugged into PC I can transfer files etc but its not charging.
It charges via wall charger though, but I prefer to charge via USB.
I really don't know what we should attribute this problem to... I'm going to try getting a warranty replacement, but I seriously doubt Samsung is going to entertain that as the problem is sporadic and not consistently demonstrable....
Maybe I'll just wait till the USB dies totally before claiming warranty...
Swyped from my Galaxy S3.
Sort of asking for a recommendation for a solution.
So my phone finally died but it died before my new phone got here.
Battery drained really fast.
Always had to wiggle the USB cord
NO dust in the USB port
Then just stop charging.
!) I think it's the usb because it wont charge.
2) Cant mount the phone onto my computer (therefore cant transferfiles)
Solution:
1) Buy a flex cable for the USB
- will my computer then be able to recognize the phone ?
2) Buy an external charger
- but what if it's the battery. and a external charger is pricier than the flex cable
3) What other things can I do ??
Taking the data out. and or transfering the data to my GS4
1) Once I get power onto my phone i guess I can try to mount it onto my new phone.
2) Upload everything, (but that's not really normal )
3) BLUE TOOTH !! LOL
4) What else ?
You can transfer files over Wi-Fi. Use drop box or air droid or some program like that. It's a little more time-consuming than using the USB transfer, but it'll get the job done.
As far as the battery goes, if you can't borrow someone's phone to charge it up, then I guess an external charger is the most likely solution. If the USB port is actually bad, then a new USB cable won't solve the issue.

I would try taking it into an AT&T store and seeing if they have a spare cable to try charging it. Just tell them your situation. After its charged (if it does) at least like 40%, take it home and use air droid to transfer your files.

yeah thats true. i've done it before. they charge it on another phone. air droid is on the Google Play store ? Hmm I am thinking about just buying an external charger if this is the case. since it would take a while to transfer and it would allow me to use it to use it some more. Thanks !
