Anyone had any issues with the Micro USB port and charging, my port has become really loose to the extent it does not charge sometimes.
Anyone know if this can be fixed, or what I need to do to resolve this.

Hi everyone, i' ve be en looking an answer to my problem from a long time i've looked in almost every related post, but nothing...
When i plug in my phone (to a wall charger or to a pc with ye USB cable) the phone says "charging" but you can leave it liket thar for hours
and nothing happens, i have tried a lot of things :
-make sure the charger is good
-coneccting with diferent cables
-change the rom and kernel (a lot of times)
-even i replace the USB port
But nothing of that seems to work... Have anyone an idea of what culd be the problem?
Thanks a lot
I had a similar problem where I plugged my phone in and it said charging but after half an hour I'd lost 1% I changed to an iPhone plug and the supplied USB cable and this has solved the problem for me (I looked at the micro USB end of the plug and USB and one of the pins in the micro USB was missing from the plug) However you said changed cables and plugs so don't know however issue sounds similar

How on earth are u going to use ipone cable to charge yr sgs2. what he meant is the charger not the cable. Since u ve use different charger and cable and even replacing the usb port, i think its the board issue which means u may ve to replace the main board. Only thing u can do is get a desktop chargerand another spare battery.

Im sorry I meant IPhone plug not the cable, actually I have what you say a spare battery, but I want to fix the problem anyway
Try putting your battery on another sii. See if it charges then.
You can also use a dock or charge it manually.

Hi I bought s3 5 months back and now im facing the slow charging issues.and at one point the phone wont charge at all.. blowing cleaning also didn't work.. I took it to the service centre. They first replaced the port and it didn't work. Later that day they told its mother board problem. They couldn't explain why. And couldn't tell whether wireless charger would fix this issue. If anyone could help me how to check hardware failure I could check myself and tell me if wireless charger would work nw??
I faced the same problem and the cause was my usb cable
Replace port failed and presuming a service centre would have a decent cable you need a new motherboard .
No way of knowing what has failed without removing the motherboard and testing each component end result you still need a new motherboard .
wireless charging

Yes.. after replacing the new usb socket it didn't respond at all. I want to know whether I will be able to charge my phone using wireless charger. ??

Yeah its the usb cable, samsung ones are rubbish, mine got to a point where it would charge 1 percent an hour, tried my brothers galaxy ace 2 charger which is all in one and charges from empty to full in about a hour and a half without affecting battery life

My port is not even working... Not detecting.. Nothing is happening. Any ideas to rectify??
You can take the battery out and use the universal charger.
Hello, I searched on other threads but couldn't find a good solution,I have 2 issues related to charging.
1. I need to plug the usb ( no matter what usb it is ) around until I see the message "Charging",then if I move it even a bit it stops charging and I have to plug it around the port again.
2. When it's "Charging.." sometimes it's 10% in 3 hours,sometimes it charges like 10% in maximum 15 minutes,my old samsung charger charges my phone extremely slowly ( max 20% in 10 hours ) compared to my father's charger with a better usb ( it can go up to 100% if it's in the "right position" in 8 hours )
I have 2 batteries,each has the same problem,as far as I see there is a problem with my charging port and probably I need a new charger with USB 3.0,should I get a galaxy s5 one? And how can I clean the microusb port? I don't think it's really 100% broken because if I'm lucky and it's in an optimal "adjustment" ( the usb cable from the charger ) it charges pretty well. Can it have some debris in it? If so how can I clean it? Also I'm pretty bad at following instructions on youtube so changing the microusb port myself with would be pretty tough with all that stuff,so I want to try to clean it first.
Thanks a lot for your help I have had this issue for a while and i'd appreciate any advice. :fingers-crossed:
By the way I use the outlet
1. Replace the USB port 2. Replace the batteries.
Search and read for many posts on how to clean the port, but it might be the motherboard is faulty.

i have cleaned the port,issue remains. Isn't replacing the USB port pretty hard for someone with no experience in such thing? Could I try replacing the safety pins or anything like that before going as far as replacing the port?
Pay for a repair, if you try yourself you'll just brick the phone.

Hello, I received a Verizon galaxy s4 for screen repair. After replacing the screen I tested the device and it worked fine. The issue that I encountered was the USB port, I would connect it to the phone and it would not charge it nor would it show up on the PC. I though it could be a faulty USB Port on the device, so I ordered a replacement and replaced it. Yet I still have this issue, even while using a brand new USB port/ribbon/connector. Does not matter if i connected it to a wall charger, car charger, battery charger, or to the computer, it will not read the connection and will not charge or show up in the computer.
I need help in fixing this issue, I really don't know what to try and cant even think of possible things that are causing this. Don't know if this is a hardware issue or software issue.
It has been an year since I am facing the issue of moisture detected. There is no moisture inside the port. This issue occurred last year and is still here. The only temporary solution I found was to turn off device and plug the charge in 3 to 4 time and it starts charging its an temporary fix and I have to turn device off each time. Also due to this issue the device sometimes stop fast charging. I wanted to ask that will installing a custom rom (stock android instead of samsung rom) will fix issue (will this stop the moisture issue). Or is there any other way to fix it using root or without root. The guides on net about cleaning port or changing charger didnt work.

I am using orignal charger & cable also tried a different charger and cable. Its been an year since it started. For me I think the sensor is faulty. Also the charging changes to cable charging after connecting charger , same with all the chargers I tried.
Make sure the port is spotless; debris in the jack port can cause this. A toothbrush and a little anhydrous isopropyl alcohol can be used to gently clean it. Allow to dry completely.
Then clear the system cache.
Maybe a charger port PCB failure, a guess.

Tried cleaning, also tried different cables and chargers didnt fixed issue for me. I also tried resetting and tried reflashing stock firmware through odin that also didn't solved problem for me.

Hardware. Likely a mobo failure.
Check for cracked solder joints in the power section.

No idea. So you can flash it? WTF?
That means most of the mobo if not all is working.
No beep when you connect charger?
Display failure?
Port pcb failure? This little bugger can do some bizarre things on the 10+ if it fails or is the wrong one, so I learned.
Unfortunately I have no clue how to decisively troubleshoot this.
Hopefully someone here does.
My problem is solve no moisture deduct i change cable and factor reset now problem not there. When this proble happened my phone not charge faster charge sometimes so i use stock cable then fast charging show issue withe the cable now 1month there is no problem try and tell me guys.

For me factory resetting or changing charger and cable didn't worked. Still getting moisture detected but if i connect it when powered off after 2 or 3 tries it starts cable charging. But after unplugging charger and reconnecting after a little time it again shows the error.

Is it possible the phone has water internally?
Get some anhydrous isopropyl and carefully clean the c port contacts. An old toothbrush works if the bristles are long enough.
Allow to completely dry.
It may have a bad c port pcb or mobo if this persists... a guess on my part.

I also think hardware is faulty cause it been an year since it started. I was wondering if there is a way to disable this sensor through root ?

If you have root access.
There are members here that know the files you're looking for.
I'm wondering if replacing the charging port PCB would fix this. It's possible that corrosion from previous moisture exposure caused corrosion that left conductive pathways that are causing the error. Or the PCB failed.
These boards tend to be cheap, just get the right version for your variant. If the battery needs replacing then be a good time.
