I am not sure of what the issue is exactly....my computer doesn't recognize the phone when connected through USB saying device has malfunctioned...when i disconnect the charger or usb cable..the charging icon still shows the phone as charging...settings-->battery the status on top continuously changes every second or so showing charging/discharging...sometimes the screen comes on and off because the phone thinks it is being connected and disconnected from the charger...betterbatterystats tries to get root access every few seconds again because of the above stated reason...
....this started as an occasional issue but now it happens more often...i have tried changing roms, kernels, cables and batteries...tried connecting to different computers and reinstalled usb drivers...I have searched around and haven't found a clear cut answer...some say clean the jack and some say stick a screw driver in the jack which i am not going to do
All I want is for the phone to last till june or send it back to samsung for repairs...coming from roms in my signature i have now installed the stock firmware through recovery and reset the yellow triangle + counter....but the phone still has cwm recovery and cfroot kernel with of course rooting...i was wondering if someone can help me fix the issues or suggest a way to completely revert the phone back to stock (rom+kernel) so that i can send it back for warranty repair...
sorry for the long post...help is much appreciated..
Edit: Also, after disconnecting the charger, every minute or so I get a message saying Charging stopped because of over voltage..as long as the battery is in the phone it doesn't stay shut...when i turn it off, it automatically comes back on
Front camera FCs even on stock ICS rom
You know you are allowed to search. But anyway I'm not expert but sounds like malfunction of usb chip

Hi All,
Today when I unpluged my phone from charger I have noticed that I got USB symbol in notification bar, after checking what it is it turned out to be MTP connection but phone was not connected to anything. Next I took the battery out to reboot it and then I got empty battery sign with thermometer warning next to it!?! After few minutes phone booted in safe mode so I took the battery out again but this time for about 10 minutes. It is working fine since but Im worried that there might be something wrong with it. What do you think guys? Have someone had something like that?
Hey,
I had exactly the same thing happen today, tried everything I could think of, factory resets, formatting, cache wiping, tried reflashing multiple times with root and without root, XXKG2, XXKG1, KE7 and back to branded stock firmware. I also used a counter reset jig just in case that had any effect. Anyway, I ended up calling my provider and they suggested it was a hardware fault rather than software or settings and they are sending me a new one tomorrow.
I could only find one thread about a similar issue relating to the Galaxy S though I can't "refind" it, but basically there were a number of posters there with very similar issues and some of them had success cleaning the connectors in the port of the phone. I didn't really fancy trying this and breaking the connector or voiding my warranty and so I went with the easy option.
Hope that helps and hope you get it sorted easily!

Hi .. I have experienced more or less the same issue: mine was unplaged from charger and switched in "Driving Mode" showing a steering wheel in notification area. That happened many times so I just rebooted the phone and I got the empty battery sign with thermometer warning next to it me too!
Now usb connection is not working anymore I'm still able to charge the phone even flash is working using Odin, but no data connection is detected by any pc with any usb cable!
I've flashed the stock rom and tryed many cooked rom, but usb data is dead!
I think I have to return it on a service center!
Hope that is not your case!
Bye
Looks like it's not a one off then...one thing I would add, just in case anyone hasn't noticed, is that you can still use the phone as by plugging it in to charge then it does boot up properly. In addition, you can also still get into recovery and download via the Home+Volume key+power button methods so you can revert to stock rom etc. It's a bit fiddly to do this though as the phone seems to think its on charge and so you have to time the holding/pressing just right to beat the green battery and temperature warning sign...but at least we can do backups of all our data/apps.
I really do think it might be fixable with a bit of a pointy cleaning tool and maybe some isopropanol...but as I said I didn't want the risk of breaking something further. Worth a try if your carrier isn't very good at replacing things though!
Got some strange bug. In the notification "menu" it often say "mtp-initialization" even though i havent connected a usb to the phone, also it sometimes think im charging the phone and it gives me the charging animation even though i aint charging it. Why is that? It doesnt matter what rom i use the problem is always there.
Another problem i have is when i turn off the phone it shows me the green battery image plus a thermometer that shows me it is overheated or something.. its always there when i turn it off and to turn it on again i have to go to the recovery and reboot it from there to make it boot up. Why?

me too and it's really really annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it does that every 10 secs or so!!!!!!!
I have the same issue. The common denominator is it all starts after I have charged the phone. The MTP tries to initialize even though my usb is disconnected.
When I shut the phone down, it reboots after a few minutes with MTP trying to connect.
When I pull the battery and reinstall, I get a grey battery charging icon followed by a green icon followed by a battery icon with a warning triangle and a thermometer.
Same here. Any solutions yet?
I'm having issues with MTP and my Galaxy Tab 10.1, it says MTP connected after MTP initialisation but the Tab never shows up in Windows and Kies??
Same problem here, with unrooted i9100.
I think it has something to do with the usb port. I've red somewhere that the quality is very bad and that it is very vonurable to dust.
This is sooooo annoying i just want to put music on my phone and the only way to do it is take out my external sd card and put it on.
Had this issue also recently when I watched videos for longer than usual (Only around 40 minutes). Car mode started going crazy and the device wouldn't stay powered down. I then removed the battery for a couple of hours while I was busy and when I put it in again I got the green battery image that the OP described. From my searching this seems to be a problem based around the usb port and its connector. I tried doing what others suggested in similar threads and move the metal pin up slightly but this hasn't helped.
I'll be running the device heavily again tomorrow (Video wise) so if it acts up again I'm calling samsung for a replacement/repair. This is a really ****ty problem and stranded me in the rain as I couldn't even get the device to boot for 20 minutes due to the battery image problem. I also doubt it's a problem with the battery as I replaced my Anker 1900ma battery with the stock one and the problem persisted.
Wouldn't you be able to get it fixed under warranty, expecting of course that you restock back to original state....
Sounds like a hardware fault which would definately go under warranty...
Hi!
I know that are simillar threads about this, but none of them have the answer to my problem. I read them all.
As many others, my Galaxy S 2 started to give that error after the upgrade to ICS (in my case, I did it because my phone sent me the "alert" directly, not because I tried to upgrade it through Odin or similar).
My problem now is that the phone is not even detected by my computer in Download Mode, If I remove the battery for 10 minutes and add it again, it does show like if the battery ran out of charge and does not start, if I plug it to the wall charger then show as charging and then can start it, but the "charging suspended voltage too high" message show every 20 seconds.
I tried to clean the usb with a toothbrush, tried also with the "knife method" but nothing of that helps. I would like to even downgrade the OS to a 3.x version, but can't make the computer recognize the phone in Download Mode. Any help would be appreciated.
I drove myself mad chasing this one a couple of weeks ago, it does indeed seem to be a problem with the connection between the USB plug and the phones mainboard.
I did find a post by a Samsung engineer in which he claimed it was a common problem and that he was seeing 3 or 4 a day.
I was lucky in that mine was solved by gently pushing the male internal connector gently forwards (upwards if the phone is on its back)
If you think logically, a usb/mainboard connection problem does make sense, in as much as there are so many differing symptoms and the claimed successes by cleaning, I would guess in these instances, the cleaning has in fact, simply moved the connector back into position.
This is a pretty poor show for Sammy, there seem to be more and more S2's failing in this way as time goes on, my own phone has only ever been charged in the Samsung dock, and still fell foul of it!
I would give repositioning the connector another try, pull the battery and use a wooden toothpick or similar, I used a fruit knife, but wouldn't recommend it. If you cant get it back in shape, I'm afraid you will have to send it back to Samsung

1. if you have warranty and not used odin, better take it to the samsung service center.
or
2. try to get a full charge battery from your friend and finish your job in dwnl mode using odin
or
3. try usb jig method to reset and start your mobile in recovery/dwnl mode.. you can search the forum on this and there are lots of posts reg this.
explains the randomness
If the connector moves its presumably broken connection with motherboard. Wonder if a teeny drop of superglue.....
Its odd how its become a feature after ICS but I suppose if its an age/ wear and tear thing that works too. Mine is drvibg me nuts too
Not solved with Stock ROM
Im also having the same problem . Not able to fix it. But if u want to connect to PC , just connect ur phone to PC and restart the phone. Then the drivers will installed and it will detected . Now u can flash it using ODIN . I tried updaing through the Kies with latest version of ICS patch , now the warning mesasge is not coming , but the battery icon blinks every second and if i check the status it shows NOT CHARGING instead of DISCHARGING
hello everyone,i have updated GT-I9205 to 4.4.2 (sprint) stock, the first week was pretty good, at the second week my phone suddenly shut down and wont turn back on the battery was about 35-40%, i tried to connect to wall charger but no sign of life also tried from computer the same again under device menager no device was being added, after a day of trying i was nervous and just keept pressing the power button for about 5 minutes and than it turned on and no problems till yesterday, as usual i have putted the phone to charge when i gone to sleep and when i woke up it was 33% and not charging, when i put the charger it says usb connector connected and wont charge, ive tried to go to download mode and maybe flash with an other stock firmware but wont be recognized, i also tried to wipe data/factory reset but no luck, so i thought it was a hardware failure while trying i've found out that when i am in download mode with usb cable connected and take out the battery the phone stays turned on, than realized that if i connect the usb cable while the phone is of and than go to recovery mode then reboot, when it boots it charges the battery but keeps no notification that its charging just the regular battery icon and if i take out the cable and put it back it says usb connector connected but wont charge , does anyone know what to do with this, is this a hardware issue (i know that if i change the motherboard it will be okay because of firmware) or is this a software issue(what im thinking it is), does anyone how can i change the firmware without odin and without being rooted, or is anyway to root 4.4.2 without odin than install an other firmware or what should i do (instead of killing myself hahahahah).
Sorry for my bad English and if i was not clear please let me know than i will record a video and post it here!
Thanks for your time.
Kind regards from Prishtina DB

thanks everyone who was here, it was a hardware problem I've fixed the connector on the phone now its working fine, so it has not being a software problem.
Hi to all the XDA community,
It looks like that I am a new member but I have been for several year on XDA (but I lost all the log in details).
The problems I am facing is with a Samsung J6 that my mother in law gave me because one morning didn't show anything on the screen. These are the steps I did:
1. Screen is black, first thought lets charge it. I kept on the charger for ages. When I got back home I was sure that the phone is fully charged (it shows it on my usb hub). Tried to switch it on - Result, nothing is coming up to the screen
2. Hard reset by pressing power button and volume up or down - Result, nothing is coming up to the screen
3. Connect the phone on a laptop to check if the laptop recognises it. The laptop is doing the noise that something is connected and start installing drivers. Seconds later the device disconnected and connected again and this loop of connection and disconnection is happening for ever -Result nothing, only question marks.
4. Thought that is a hardware failure and since the screen doesn't shows anything I bought a new screen. I didn't by an OLED, I bough the cheap one. - Result, nothing is coming up to the new screen
5. I disconnected the battery and install the screen again connect the battery and try the same steps 1 & 2. - Results the same as the steps 1 & 2.
For me it looks like that the phone is bricked (I forgot to mention that my mother in law gave it to someone else before she pass the phone to me, no trust ) and the other guy probably tried to change the ROM or something similar. The boot loop that the phone is doing when I connected on my laptop is not normal (noise of connection and after 1sec noise of disconnection).
Additionally, I am not sure if the screen is working and I am on dilemma, do I have to return the screen to the seller of keep it until find out what is the problem with the phone. Maybe the screen is the faulty part that cause another issue. When I connect the phone on the laptop without the screen is doing the boot loop noise of connection/disconnection. I found out that when the phone is connected on the laptop and I press the power button the disconnection noise is delayed by couple more seconds.
Any help or guidance will be more than welcome.
Obtain the Stock image for your fone from samsung, load it into the version of Odin they suggest, but dont start it yet.
Disconnect fone from pc, and turn it off.
Start Odin flashing
plug fone in
Mb a few steps dif since I last flashed a samsung, but this will fix your fone.
Make sure you got the samsung driver installed in your pc

Thanks for your response.
Samsung drivers are already installed.
The problem that I am encountering is that I can put the phone on download mode. Firstly because I can't see anyhting on the screen and secondly because my laptops can see the device. I tried different cables too but nothing worked.
Since the phone cannot be recognised by the PC, the Odin app cannot see it either.
