I've just got a new laptop, but it appears to be having a peculiar affect on my phones keypad. When it's connected via USB (just for charging - not for storage & I don't have Kies) and even when it's very close to the device (but not plugged in) the keypad seems to interpret key-presses incorrectly.
Best example being pressing the delete key multiple times (with nothing entered) and suddenly ending up with 'ajqwe' and then opening the voice-command prompt
Not a serious problem now, but would like to know what was causing it. And apologies if this was a #searchFail# but I couldn't find a related thread.
TIA
Probably ur lappies usb voltage is higher/lower thn the actuall needed voltage.. i had bought a usb charger with a higher output voltage and the touch screen had some interference..

That makes sense.
Its 2nd hand lappy with one USB already didabled due to over voltage.

Hi everyone I just have a question, Is my USB Broken? My USB Data connect doesn't work unless I just keep have to changing the position, Sometime if i put it down it only charges , no USB debugging or anything, When I put more force I get the whole mounting SD and I could use flahtool, but my Charger works flawlessly... It has always chargede my phone .. Is it my USB side not working, or is it just my cable ?
Try a different cable. If it works, great problem solved. If not, most likely a broken usb port.

I got nearly the same Problem: my cable at home fits perfect (I can even shake my phone) - but if I use the cable I have at work it always reconnects only if I switch a Song of touch the screen - so I bei it is the cable

Same
Sometimes i accidently drop the phone while charging and that may cause problems with usb cable as internal cables may be damaged- now everytime i move the cable it resets the connection with computer...
My poor X10! Will look after it from now on!
I had the same issue and thought my USB port was bad however when I plugged in my bluetooth charger (also micro USB) it charged my phone.. I bit down a little bit on my usb** cable end to give it a tighter connection and voila.. works perfect now.

It turns out the micro-USB standard was designed in such a way as to put the parts that tend to wear out quickly in the cable rather than the device connector. This was done to maximize the number of connects/disconnects possible in the lifetime of the jack. This probably explains why cables stop working over time in some cases. (Perhaps the x10 is particularly sensitive)

Great suggestion! I seem to have revitalized my original cable (for charging anyhow, haven't tried connecting to the computer) with this technique. I substituted a pair of needle nose pliers for my teeth, though.

try using a different USB cable, or else try to clean the place where usb connects the phone port. Some dust or sticky material might create hindrance.

I always get that notification when i am charing my phone in my car and i turn the ignition off. I think the line gets a spike, because all the other equipement shuts down. Never had on USB charging or regular charger. So probably your power source isn't stable.
This has happened to me a few times. I purchased a longer usb cable from ebay but for some reason, I got this message also. Once I switched to a belkin cable or the cable included with the phone itself, all was fine. So it could be a faulty cable - or you may just need to reset to stock and go from there.
its not a charging problem its when the phone is disconnected

Then likely its the fault of the USB port, or the battery. I'm no expert on hardware issues however, I do know that moisture buildup under the battery cover or in the port has the potential to cause this issue. Try leaving the phone in a bag of rice for a few hours. If that doesn't work, you may have to think about sending it to Samsung for repair.
Seriously this question have been asked for zillion times, try to use search it help!
All you have to do is to clean ur usb port, i used a needle scratched it abit and moved the center piece back to the middle, this should help, if it didn't you need to change ur USB board

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I've seen the same message using an Energizer high-power USB charger which gives 1 A instead of the usual 500 mA.
My hypotheses so far are:
- when turning off/on the charger/car engine, there's a voltage spike from the charger which is not filtering properly the output, causing this message to appear on the phone
- the stock ROM/kernel is not intended to be used with high power chargers like these (the Samsung charger gives only around 700 mAh)
- the USB board of the phone is starting to give away, a common fault with the i9100 it seems.
As long as the message appears, it means the "exceptional condition" was caught and handled, so it should probably not damage anything.
I use iSound Potable Power Charger and i dont get any sort of error. Can be found here:
http://www.amazon.com/i-Sound-Portable-Power-iPhone-BlackBerry/dp/B00439G3WS/ref=pd_sim_e_1
There is also a smaller version available. Its the best USB charger available out there!
if you have resurrection remix or any that allows modifying charge voltage, try reducing it to minimum, worth a try

okay, so i had this problem and it drove me mental tryin' to find the solution.. i tried flashing roms, restore it to factory setting and all the good stuff with software but none of them solved it..
after much googling and searching around in web, i bumped into youtube video which taught how to change the flex cable of the phone.. (the cable and a small circuit which connects usb to main board).. i went ahead and changed the cable and VIOLA!!!
PROBLEMS GONE..
turns out it was a hardware problem and not a software one..

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

It is not rooted its a stock device. Please help. Shall i go to Samsung Service Centre ?? PLs suggest .
Turn off your phone and try plug it again. See if it charging or not.

Hello, struggling to find anything similar to the issue I am having, sure one of you more tech savvy folk could help.
My car a 10 plate golf has a built in media port through which I can charge and use my media devices, however since receiving my S3 I cannot get it to work. The in car system display states 'media device not recognised.'
To work around this I bought an aux jack to jack and plugged in to it that way and this works fine whilst the phone is disconnected. However when I connect the phone to the usb to charge, it automatically defaults to media device not recognised and disconnects the aux.
My old phone had the same issue (HTC desire) however this could be set to usb charge only which would prevent the car system from trying to use it as a media device simply providing charge.
However, I do not appear to have this option on my shiny S3.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could work around this? I do not really want to charge the phone using the cigarette lighter socket as this has fried other devices in the past.
Many thanks.

Hi, Tnx for your reply.
I already tried that.
Following is all what i did :
1. Rebooted couple of times
2. Removed Battery sim card everything
3. Changed my charger and connected with a new charge
4. Tried to connect to PC via usb (USB Charging), but did not work
5. Also a factory reset when nuthing worked
After all the hard work, i had to visit Samsung service and they are saying motherboard will be replaced.
I still dont know how did motherboard got busted, but anyways its free of cost so its cool.
Thanks
QC problem I think. Glad you solved the problem. Enjoy

Potentially the cable or charger is defective, try another one and see if it repeats.
The system recognizes the OTG-cable through a certain pin layout which might be triggered by a defective cable.
Also: you didn't change the ROM or any significant other part (e.g. Kernel) before it first appeared?
@buftybasher: Thread hijacking is considered very rude. Your issue has nothing to do with his.
however since receiving my S3 I cannot get it to work. The in car system display states 'media device not recognised.'

That's because the S3 doesn't have a mass storage (UMS) mode, only a mode specially designed for mobile devices, the so-called MTP.
Most probably your car simply is not capable of supporting this 4-year old standard and relies on the very old mass storage mode with FAT32 partitions.
If you store your music on the external SD card, you might want to take a look at the Easy UMS APK here on Xda, it should make your car be able to access the storage. (Not all kernels support the feature)
it automatically defaults to media device not recognised and disconnects the aux.

If you are any good with a soldering iron, you could open up a USB cable and cut off the 2 middle pins (D- and D+) which are used for data, then solder the corresponding resistance for 1Amp or 0.5Amp charging to the phone's side of the cord.
Voila: charging-only cable.
