Hello, a couple of days ago my phone stopped charging, i lost my phone on the ground but not more than from 30cm height, i can only charge it by putting the battery in an external charger.. When charge it in the phone it says charging, but the battery drops.. I have a spare micro usb board that i will try, but since it says charging i think it is something else.. Anyone have had the same problem? Updated to CM9 31/07 nightly, so i dont know if its because of that, but i tried to do a clean install of CM9 01/08 without that helping..

Can you connect your phone with pc too? if not you have a problem with the micro usb plug.
Time ago i had this problem, i fix cleaning the phone micro usd plug with air.
Sorry about my english

try to install siyah kernel and set the charge current all to 650mA. For me it's done.
Thanks for the tips, wil try to clean it also, but I opened it up and looked at the connector connected to the main board, seems like it was only half way on... The battery after charging all night was 47%, but now it has slowly charged to 87%, so hopefully it has been fixed, will still try your tips!

So i bought my SGS3 (marble white) a few days ago and it was working perfectly fine. A few days ago my phone suddenly stopped charging. I rebooted the phone and it was charging again. Last night it again stopped charging. I again rebooted but this time it did not fix the problem.
I know that the charging port of the phone is not damaged as phone works perfectly fine when connected to a pc via usb cable and charges.
And i have never ever plugged in a non-genuine accessory to its micro usb port. Not even a dock!
Anyone with a similar problem or cure?
edit: software update fixed it in my case.

I will not say I have a cure, but I am facing the same problem, sometimes I have to reboot twice for it to start charging.
Guru's kindly look into the issue and help us, this happens in both the cases, while charging for adapter or while charging from USB.

Well not exactly, it does not happen when i plug the phone into a usb port.
It happens with the charger but, now my phone is not just recognizing the charger. I have rebooted twice, thrice but still the same problem.
I'm having a similar problem,
Charging when -
phone on
power save on - WIFI/data and most other things are off
charges 2% per hr with official charger (wall socket)
Charging when -
phone OFF!
40% per hr with official charger (wall socket)
Haven't really tried the PC USB charging yet,
But i have noticed that my battery info page says the phones been on battery for
2 days 22hrs, Very strange as i have charged and attempted to charge the phone more than 10 times in the past 24hrs.
Anyone also noticed the on battery time to be wrong?
i got this problem yesterday too , restart then its ok , weird ...
before reboot the battery icon shows charging icon but its not charging at all
does charging a battery run a software too ?

My mobile is no more in warranty as I have rooted my phone, will have to come back to stock rom for me to claim warranty, that's why I am waiting for someone to provide solution before I return back to stock rom for warranty claim.
Sounds like it's an issue with the charger, rather than the phone.

I thought it was best to ask here before i contact orange to report the problem, as i really didn't want to send the phone back to them if its something i could have fixed
I'm doing a factory reset and if it still has charging problems i will call orange today.
I'm facing the same problem. It started about 2 weeks ago.
I tried different chargers but no hope. the only way to charge it is via a usb port.
I had this problem once on the first day I got my phone. Worked fine though with an iphone charger with the samsung usb cable. Have any of you guys tried that?

I thanked your post accidentally while trying to quote you
The batterystats.bin file only resets itself after a full charge to 100%. That's the file that's responsible for showing all the battery usage info. So if you just keep topping up your phone without letting it charge to 100%, the battery statistics will be from the last full charge. If you see the graph you'll see it rises everytime you charge and then falls when you take it off charge. It cumulatively shows the amount of time you've used the phone on battery since the last full charge, regardless of how much you charge it in between. When you let it charge fully to 100% and unplug it, the battery stats file will be reset and give you a correct reading.

I'm having a similar issue, only difference to what you guys are having is that my SIII start charging via the normal charger if its been in USB for a bit, like 2-5 min. I tried the rebooting, nothing. it only charges through USB 1st, then it will work via the stock charger, I've tested it on another charger aswell, and the samsung car charger.
I really hope there is a quick fix, becuase I dont want to send it in for repairs, as cellphone providers in SA arent the best.
I had a similar problem with my gtab 2 10.1 but the wall charger is to blame

Dude! we don't have problem with battery status i guess,
We have problem with NO CHARGING. Off topic comments won't help.
I had Battery Issues afater ICS
I formated my Internal SD & then did Factory reset
My Phone works Great now & has better Battery Life too
& I did it 3 times
Wonder why everybody keeps saying dont Factory rest ???
Same problem here, i tried with a charger and with a usb port, both doesn't work. Then, i rebooted the phone and now it's charging...
I don't understand.
Hi all,
try off your phone..
take out battery...
put in battery...
plug in charging cable...
wait till it show that your battery is charging with the circle below moving..
let it go 1 round and start your phone. it may help.
Alright so my Vibrant won't charge. I JUST recovered my phone from a brick, (I was having issues with the battery life on Slim Roms 4.0 compared to 3.9--in the middle of flashing back I accidently wiped my internal memory. As I was recovering it using Odin, my fat cat jumped on my bed and caught on my phone cord bricking it.) Flashed using Heimdall and was able to get my phone into working order.
Now, I placed Slim Roms 4.0 back on my phone initially after the unbricking to have something working on it, even though the battery life less than impressed me.
So I charged it like normal yesterday, got it to 100% and was fine and dandy with it working. (Still sucking up battery life like a vampire in a fat camp.)
So the update 4.1 went live yesterday, I flashed it immediately to that. The battery life was amazing! So I do the normal thing when I flash to a new ROM. Let it die completely before charging it completely. It's now dead and will not charge.
Symptoms;
I plugged in my normal cable for work (a cheap cable I purchased off of Ebay.) And up comes the round loading symbol. Followed by a darkening of the screen, followed by nothing.
One thing to note, is while it has it's loading circle on, the bottom buttons light up when I touch them.
My Steps;
-I attempted different USB ports since I charge through my work computer. No luck.
-I "borrowed" my co-workers USB cord and USB to wall plug. Attempted the new cable in the computer first. No luck.
-Plugged the borrowed USB into the wall charger. Same thing happens.
-Used my own cheapy cable in wall charger. Same thing.
-Took co-workers complete set and plugged it in in a different room. Nothing.
-Took out my battery, plugged in USB, placed battery back in. Nothing.
-Hold down the Vibrant buttons to get into Bootloader, it resets the loading circle and nothing more.
So now I'm sitting here wondering what to do. I do not have rubbing alcohol readily available, however since it charged to 100% yesterday I do not believe that is the issue, but I'd be willing to try if I had access.
Something you should know, I am using a Samsung Epic 4G battery in my phone.
-For those who might judge saying it is dumb, I have gotten 54 hours out of that battery on one ROM before, that is with texting, talking on the phone and installing apps. I'm fond of this thing, however I have my stock battery at home still.-
Any suggestions you guys have would be appreciated. I have tried things that I found on this forum and basic tech support to no avail. (I am at work so the things I can use are fairly limited. However cords are of no shortage.)
Alright, I unplugged my phone from being plugged into the wall charger for an hour and 3 minutes later it decides to turn itself on.. Not sure what's going on but I'm not going to complain.
So my question now is, can anyone explain this or help prevent this in the future?
From what I've heard draining a battery until it dies can damage it. But, I'm not an expert on that. It's possible that the battery needed more time to recover from the drain.

I had something similar happen when running lithium volt ROM. My battery completely died and the phone cut off (obviously.) I plugged it in the charger and it immediately tried to boot the phone up but it was bootlooping at the startup screen. I let it sit there for 20 minutes or so thinking maybe it is charging but as soon as i unplug the charger the phone cut off. Luckily I have an extra battery, popped it in, flashed a new ROM thinking that was the problem, turns out it was something to do with the ROM(maybe it needed a certain amount of battery power to boot up). My completely dead battery worked on the cm7 ROM I flashed, plugged in the charger and it booted up normally and started charging.

Thank you. I might just have to downgrade back to 3.9. It's almost a shame. xD
I'm going to test my old battery in this ROM just to make sure before I downgrade.
You need to use your Samsung usb charger, and wall adapter only. These two are the only ones that will actually work. I had this same problem and realized it was because I wasn't using the Samsung stuff. Even when pugging into the computer, use the Samsung USB cabe only. As for the battery your using... I wouldn't recommend it, no matter the fantastic battery life you must be getting.

Daw it's a fellow Samsung battery.
Thank you about the cable, I need to purchase another one anyways, mine at home seems to not be connecting very well. :/
ROM. some roms do that. it will not let you power up while charging if the battery is very low. you will get the circle and the battery symbol after. sometimes you still cant unless you pull the battery. happened to me many times
Hi all,
I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 2 (i777). It was rooted and running CM 10.1. A few months ago it started to have charging/USB port issues. Some of the symptoms:
-Sporadic charging (starting and stopping)
-Required USB jiggling to get it to start charging
-Sometimes wouldn't charge at all until it died, then would eventually charge while powered off
-Would not shutdown (only reboot, even if the battery was removed)
-Randomly started "car mode"
My initial thoughts on this were USB port issues. After doing some research on people with similar problems, I tried cleaning the port with alcohol, toothbrush, compressed air, etc. No avail.
Eventually the phone just stopped charging altogether. At this point, if I left it plugged in, it would sit in a continuous boot loop (boot, get to lock screen, realize it has no juice, shutdown, rinse, repeat). After a few days of attempting to charge and just having that happen, it went black and has never turned on since.
To try to solve that, I bought a new USB port flex cable on eBay and replaced it, assuming this would solve all my USB port issues. I tried to be as ESD safe as possible and also not break anything in the phone, but after replacing the board, it still wouldn't boot.
Next step- bought a new battery with an external charger to skip the USB port altogether and see if the battery was shot. Charged up the new battery, popped it in, nothing.
I'm at a total loss. If it started as a charging problem, I don't see how the problem could have been anywhere but the flex cable board or the battery. Does anyone have any ideas about what might be going wrong? I would REALLY appreciate some insight.
Thanks!
Maybe the repeated loops damage it

Did you ever find a solution? I'm in the no charge boot loop after letting it die last night.
I have not seen previous usb problems at all. I suspect that my battery got over-drained, but then I've got the same symptoms as you and you have a new battery. I can get it into recovery but t won't stay on in CWM for long enough to fix permissions, which is the only thing I've tried so far in CWM.
Thanks
If i was in your place i'd have taken it to the nearest Samsung Service center and let them fix it for me.
I think the fluctuation in power may have damaged your phone battery point from where it takes power from the battery and charge it.
Maybe it has damaged the motherboard.
We cannot say anything in this situation.
You should just take it to your nearest service center.
Best of Luck
OK, wiping Data fixed it.
Thanks for your reply. This problem just started this morning with no previous issues, doing the looping part of your problem that I quoted. so it's not a question of what I might have done.
But, for others encountering my part of it, here's what I've done and learned so far today.
As I looked into things elsewhere on the , it seemed to be a software problem. Luckily, I have another Galaxy (Exhibit) that's similar battery and I was able to put the charged battery from it into the SII. The SII booted and worked fine but did not charge. I put the SII battery into the Exhibit (sorta fits). It took a charge.
This confirmed to me that it's not the battery. It must be the phone perhaps USB port or more likely "firmware" since problem started abruptly after draining battery down.
I then wiped data on the SII from CWM/recovery and rebooted.
SII is now charging again. Stock battery is back in and working.
Time will tell if all is well, but here's what I think happened:
1) battery drained down to zero while unplugged
2) plugging in and starting up phone immediately threw something off in the battery stats at a low level...that kept it from charging even when turned off. Or rather threw it into a loop. Don't really understand this stuff, but may have to do with physical things that happen in a battery when the cells drop down way low and then the voltage feedback they give to charging circuit.
3) charging battery in another device (gingerbread, by the way) got the battery out of this, if battery had been a contributing factor,(or just a trigger) it was back over the hump.
4) wiping data fixed the charging, so I conclude it was a charging circuit data issue triggered by an ultra low battery.
Hope I'm over this problem and hope that it helps somebody else. If you run into this yourself with no previous USB or hardware issues, I'd suspect software before hardware. If I had only one battery and no way to charge it externally, I would suggest get one of those simple universal clip-on chargers to bring the battery back up and then go into CWM and wipe data.
UPDATE: It's stopped charging again. It's no longer looping since I got the battery charged up, but not right either. As soon as I plug it into a USB, it boots itself without powering on.
I guess that this is looking more like a physical USB issue now. Weird that there's been no previous sign of trouble before today.
UPDATE2: I cleaned USB port but no help. Then I bent the USB contacts towards the screen and it is charging now again. I'm ordering a replacement USB.
I should add that I'm running Shostock Jellybean, older (not current) version with it's associated Jeboo kernel. Don't know if it matters.
I wish I'd seen your post sooner.. I had exactly the same problems back in January. Took all the same steps you did. In the end, an 8$ USB flex cable from EBay solved the problem. I think you'll have luck with that:thumbup:

hey, I'm experiencing the same issue slightly different.
-Sporadic charging (starting and stopping)
-Randomly started "car mode"
-plugged in the charger while the device is switched off, it automatically turns the device on.
-If the cable still plugged in while the charger removed from the main current, it shows "Charging stopped. High voltage"
-From yesterday, it doesn't charge even. Only way to charge is, connect the charger first and then Restart the device.
Then only charging continuous.
Can anyone help to solve this? Is this a software issue?
Thanks!

Also, there was this issue early --> when I charge it from the laptop, the USB mode doesn't switch on. It just charge the phone only.
But now it's not even working like that.

hi, my s2 wont charge. It just shows up charging when plugged in but it doesnt charge at all. and it overheats too much while plugged in. What is that flex cable you said, is it the one that connects the charging port to the motherboard? were you the one opened and replaced it? thanks
So, I ran my Razr Maxx down to 0% battery the other day. (I know - don't do that...)
After much reading, I tore the phone apart and was able to charge the battery by connecting the red/black wires from a USB cable directly to the +/- screws on the battery connection.
I can now boot all the way into my ROM, stock or Eclipse (SafeStrap slot 1). The battery status shows 'charging (AC)'. But the % remaining is slowly dropping. It was at 44% when I first booted. It's down to 41% now.
I powered off and let the charging screen come up - it shows 50%, but it's not gaining any charge. Last night, I left it plugged in all night (powered off) and the battery was dead by morning. I think I started with ~ 30% charge that time. So, even though this shows 50% now, I suspect it's still discharging.
I've tried different chargers, including the Motorola charger.
I tried making a factory cable, but that doesn't seem to charge the phone - it appears to just provide power while bypassing the battery.
Any ideas on other things I can try to get this to charge off a normal charger & cable? Thanks!!

Well, I was able to connect via usb to my laptop and copy files of the internal sd. And the charging indicator shows that it is charging via usb/ac. Of course, it doesn't seem to actually be charging. Would that be possible if the usb port was broken?
Maybe something is wrong. To be 100% sure check it in BMM. Charge it 1hr and boot normally and check bat %

Thanks... I'll give it a try. Quick question - where should I grab BMM from? I want to make sure I have the latest version. (I've always used SafeStrap.) The thread I found for BMM looks like it hasn't been updated in a long time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2005187
Okay... installed bmm from Google play...
When I first get into bmm, it shows 99% for the battery. After tapping around, it eventually updates and shows 13%. I powered off and waited for the charging screen, which shows 15% now.
I'm not familiar with bmm... is there any place aside from the status bar at the top that shows charging/battery status?
Is there any sort of battery calibration that might help?
Thanks...
Yes for the battery calibration it is in the recovery under wiping it says wipe battery stats. See if that helps

Tried wiping battery stats, and still no luck...
So, right now it appears that:
1) The battery will NOT charge via the usb port, but WILL charge when I apply +5v directly to the battery.
2) The usb port is functional for connecting to a computer and transferring files over a usb cable.
Something that occurred to me today is that, when the phone was at 1%, I plugged it into a friend's charger. She has a Samsung Galaxy S4 - I'm not 100% sure if it was the factory charger, but I think it was. Could the charger somehow have damaged the phone such that it won't charge over the usb port (but somehow leave the usb port functional?)
Could replacing the battery have any chance of success? (Seems unlikely, since it can take a charge directly.)
Is there any other debugging I can do to narrow down the problem? Or is it time to give up? Is the phone likely to be useful to anyone for parts?
Thanks everyone so far for the suggestions...

I am sorry I wish i could help more but i am out of ideas. Hope you get some other help!
I have never had this issue before so i'm coming for some help as i'm guessing it's something to do with CM. Last night i flashed cm-10.1.3-quincyatt with no problems at all. Everything was working flawlessly. Once i got my phone fully charged and most of my apps setup ect. I did a battery calibration, then used a drainer app to drain the battery completely as normal. plugged the charger back in and it charged to about 75-80% i picked my phone up a bit later to check messages and noticed it was not charging. I unplugged and replugged the charger cord with no success in getting the phone to charge. I've tried numerous cords, usb cables ect. Nothing will charge. It won't even recognize the phone when plugged in usb on the computer. the battery charges fine with an external charger, but obviously i cannot use the phone while the battery is out on an external charging unit. I know someone is probably going to suggest the charging port went bad...i highly doubt that because it was just replaced not a week ago. also, any time i've had a charging port go out, nothing will work in the port, not even a dongle jig. I powered the phone down and inserted my dongle jig to test and make sure, and sure enough, the second the dongle jig is inserted the phone powers on and boots into download mode as it should. I've reset dalvik ect. tried everything i can think of besides wiping and reflashing, as i'm trying to avoid that since i have about 4 hours or so in setting up custom settings/apps ect. on the phone lol. I've noticed browsing the web i'm not the only person experiencing this issue, so can someone please help me in fixing it asap? Thanks in advance for the help, and if a thread was already posted on how to fix this, please direct me to it, because i could not find it.
[Update]
I have wiped and reflashed just to test and see if that would fix the issue, sadly it still will NOT charge.
