Where did you drop water? If it is within the usb port, its possible the water could have caused a short or even could have caused some corrosion. That would mean your only option would to get it fixed at some cellphone repair place. Unless your carrier replaces water damage.

yes was just going to modify it well I have no warranty so only thing is to take it to some mobile repair shop

Did you follow the instructions for a wet phone as posted on XDA and Google .
Place in dry rice for a week but do not boil .

the thing that bothers me that it still charges but after removing from charger or PC it is still charging for a few seconds after it stops you think the port is damaged? or something i can do at home as i saw the video of s2 unboxing didn't look pretty hard

There could be some dirt or slight corrosion at the port. Try gently using a soft dry toothbrush across the port. Also if you have one, try using a different USB cable.

A solution which worked for me
http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket/179446-usb-device-not-recognized.html
This 2nd solution of pushing the tongue of the usb port up worked for me like a charm. I had no water damage and out of the blue it stopped working for me. I literally gave up when i tried this. Now everything is fine. Just give it a try :laugh::good:

And you thought it was worth necroing an 18 mth old thread for that, did you ?

usb acting up

My phone charges but it seems to be thinking it's always charging even when unplugged. I use it to play music at the bar I work at & it kept going in car docking mode which I never use. My battery was almost dead but it fully charged after the night was done. I went to change the battery to see if that was the problem and when I turned it off the battery charging image came up while it was off with nothing plugged in. Now my battery status keeps flashing & changes from regular size to mini size. Has anyone ever experienced this?

Searching goes a long way here my friend. This is a common problem for a lot of people. (I've never experienced it, but many others have). The solution seems to have been cleaning out the mini usb port on the phone with some 91% isopropyl rubbing alcohol and a que tip. Or if that doesn't work it may be a bad usb port.

I don't know what kind of Que tips you use but the ones I have don't fit. I used tissue folded over and it's still screwy. I think something's loose in the or something because sometimes shaking it makes it stop for a bit. If I get a new usb port from e bay will the one for the i9100 work in mine?

I guess I'm in the same boat with you. Noticed a couple of days ago the phone stopped making the little chime when you connect/disconnect the charger. Yesterday I took it off the charger and after a couple hours it was down to 40% without me using it. Today, I swapped batteries and had the same problem with the battery icon. One second it shows about 3/4 full, the next it says 100%. Then I couldn't get it to boot, just kept cycling through the battery icon. Got it booted and not only does it say charging when not connected, the USB icon is in the Stat bar saying it is MTP-connected. Guess it is time for warranty.:crying:

Are you on a custom rom too? What do you think will be the replacement, the s3? I have insurance on it too, might have to go back to stock tho.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
I'm on stock, but rooted. If they will give me an S3 I will be very happy. Having seen how many people have had issues with the crappy USB connector on this phone, I may have to insist.
The likely option will be the sky rocket... maybe the oneX. Unfortunately, I don't see them giving out S3's.

Isn't that like a downgrade? If rather fix it myself by buying a usb port from eBay.

Sky rocket yes. I wouldn't say the one x is a downgrade necessarily
At this point I might be ready to get away from Samsung. My SI had to be replaced 3 times. The S2 has had some weird issues, but worked until this started 2 days ago. I had an HTC before (WinMo) that is still working fine today. Maybe I'll have better luck with the 1X seeing how apparently Samsung can't make phones that last.
I got an S2 as a replacement. Not a Skyrocket, so it depends on when you call. Otherwise all they would offer me was the skyrocket or 2 windows phones.

What do you think would be easier, getting the part & fixing it myself or using Odin with a tricky usb port to revert back to stock? I also lost my att splash screen by using that gs2 boot screen changing app. I got rid of the app a while back & have used a couple different roms but it seems permanent.

I don't think switching out the part will be too difficult. I have the same exact problem and am planning on switching the port and ribbon sometime in the next couple weeks. I think I've read that the i9100 one works just fine.

I think the problem is actually in the logic board and not just the connector. Even if you fix it the problem will likely reoccur in time. I don't want my phone repaired, even by AT$T, just to have it fail again, but out of warranty next time. I had to have my Captivate replaced 3 times. Maybe it's time to go back to HTC. It sucks, because I love this phone.

Mine started happening after I spilt water on the end of the charging cable and didn't let it dry off completely before plugging it in. Do you still think it would be in the logic board? Then again, it seems like more and more people are getting this problem. And of course, it's just as the warranty is expiring on these phones.

I may have splashed water too, I'm not sure cause I didn't check at the time. I was working at the bar playing music. It seemed to be just a drop on the screen. What's the logic board? Could maybe flashing a new rom fix it?

If it's a physical problem with hardware, no software changes can fix it.

Mine had nothing to do with water. I just think the micro USB connector is a poor design for something that has to be plugged and unplugged as often as a smartphone does and in the kind of environment we use them, especially in the car. The logic board is what the connector mounts to. It takes the signals from the connector and relays that information to determine whether the connection is for charging, PC connection or some other I/O function. Over time the process of disconnecting/connecting will weaken the solder joints and/or cause the thin traces in the ribbon cable to possibly short against each other and create the issues we are seeing. That's why the problems can be seen even after the cable is unplugged. Replacing just the connector will likely not solve the problem.
Talked to support. They are sending me another SII (refurbished). They wanted me to do a factory reset and download an update as part of their troubleshooting. I insisted that no software update would fix a hardware problem. *****ed enough to get them to drop it and send me another phone. My phone is rooted stock 2.3.4. Do you lose root with a reset? If I send it in rooted will that cause me trouble with the warranty dept. even though it isn't relevant to what is wrong with the phone?

Dude, without doing any research on the phone and being completely ignorant but im gonna go ahead and take a wild guess. THIS PHONE CANNOT BE TAKEN SWIMMING, it might be waterproof/splashproof like in a shower but when you go in a pool and swim its a lot more pressure, the phone cant take that. Maybe im wrong but even some waterproof watches i know cant be taken swimming

Agreed ! 1m for 30 mins is what its rated/tested 1m is about waist height roughly any more than that its not reliable to be waterproof so even a drop to the bottom of the pool wouldnt be safe , open the moistureprotection covers throw it in a jar of rice leave it overnight hopefully that will draw any moisture out , the indicator light is just telling you your battery is full now

Because you took it swimming! rofl
you said you opened it up and dried it did you disassemble completely it or just remove the back cover? chances are that once the water got in and with the battery constantly connected you could have something short out on your mobo . If you cant disassemble it you how do you know its dry, trying the rice overnight is worth a shot not guaranteed as a fix but it should draw out any moisture , flashing software wont fix a hardware problem caused by water damage

i disassembled it same time and wiped it down the board with alcohol then sprayed it with a can of compressed air to get rid or the salt water then put it directly under a light bulb for half an hour so i am pretty sure it should be clean and dry.

i know that its more likely that it would be an hardware problem but i am just wondering if there is a possibility that the water might have damage the firmware...
no it shouldnt , im sorry to say your phone is probably useless now unless its something youve done while disassembling like broke a flex cable etc unless sony replaces it or you find the faulty component your stuffed!

[Q] How do i fix this?

My i9300 all of a sudden stops charging.
I disassembled it and the next day decided to plug it in again. It charged up until 48%, when i plugged it out for use again.
Now, one day later it again won't charge... weird?
I'm trying to buy a usb port connector and want to replace it as i think the problem lies there, but how do i do this?
All the youtube video's are only replacing the simple stuff.
I have tried using another battery + batterycharger, this is not the problem. The phone still doesn't charge. I really suspect there is oxidation inside the USB connector.
Hope there's anybody who can help with replacing it.
should be the cable problem? many cases on this!
If you don't know any better about hardware, why don't you just buy an additional battery and battery charger... through could be little bit inconvenient

Galaxy S3 bug
May be this is a bug of galaxy s3
even i have a galaxy s3 with jelly bean installed in it from factory, i connected it with my laptop and it was working normally but after 2-3 days i noticed that my device was unable to connect via usb so i flashed it and factory resetted my divice and bam ! it was back to normal, may be you can give it a shot

Thanks but this isn't the case with me. I really suspect there is oxidation inside the USB connector. So could anyone help with how to replace this? I live in the Netherlands.
You said you dissembled it, you have enough knowledge about it?
I don't have much myself too but I tried my hands on my older devices in many cases, so I can only suggest you that the charging point which is a usb port would be connected to your pcb which needs to be disconnected with the help of an soldering iron and then you can replace it with a new one. However do it only if you have subsequent knowledge.
Also before trying anything try more chargers, I came to know that none of the generic and few original ones couldn't charge mine too. Check for their voltage.

alright, thanks for the reply. But my device is flashed around 1000 times and it looks like i opened beercans with it. So this would not create a healthy warranty argument i guess. This is why i'm trying to do it myself.
Now all of a sudden it charges again, when i left it at the charger... so definately no charger problem. maybe oxidation/waterdamage from raindrops?

Soo .. if you manage too get system status back too normal, you can easily claim your warrenty
Put it in a bag of rice for a day so any water kind of damage is gone.

but ive taken my notes apart fully a few times, just dont lose screws and have patiences
I've never taken a cellphone apart before. I took this one apart to change my usb port and it was a piece of cake! I didn't have any special tools either. Took me 30 minutes and I was taking my time. I could do it now in 15.

Our micro usb sockets have 7 pins. Most have 5 unless there's hdmi. I'm guessing 1 of the 7 are jacked up. I'd be careful, one of your cords could be the culprit. It might jack up a different device if you use it.
I'm thinking the other might when I got the girl bartender to charge my phone behind the counter she probably tried to stick the charger in upside down and fudged up my port ... Sucks but its an easy fix

its a minor case for maintainers.:good:

you put water in the mhl port? seriously. and then after damaging it you used water again to try and repair it. WOW you are lucky you didnt get electrocuted. best way to dry it is to put it in a bag of rice for a good day or two. the rice should absorb the few drops of water but the damage is already done. you probably have a short circuit somewhere in the phone preventing it from communicating with the pc. does hdmi out work?
