Hello XDA
This is the first Q I have I managed to work my problems off by myself to this point. Straight to the matter at hand:
My S3 stoped to charge normally on:
Wall socket solid cable charger
Wall socket usb cable charger
USB plug to a PC
External battery
On a turned off device it only shows the loading battery no charging
On a turned on device in normal boot it shows charging but no charge is applied (checked with various software)
It only charges in Download mode (slowlly due to the fact of a turned on screen)
I tried diffrent chargers, cables even batteries nothing really helps
Also its not being recognized by the PC when plugged in in normal boot but it's being discovered in Download Mode.
I was able to flash Stock Rom by ODIN but it also didnt produce a solution.
The only thing that comes to mind is to flash with a repartition but i cannot find the proper *.pit file and I don't want to do this before consulting the community.
I can reset the counter and send it to the service but I think that this is a software issue not a HW one.
Can anyone offer some assistance?
UPDATE:
The device when booted normally and pluged into "holds the charge" it dosent go up but it doesnt go down.
Pretty fun !
I think it's an issue with your kernel. Have you flash your device with a custom ROM and/or kernel ?
Well I was running PAC Rom for S3 at the time so the Kernel was based from that.
After that I Changed to XXEMA2 CodecROM 1053 Black Edition with Siyah Kernel still same outcome... And after that returned to the roots with Stock ROM with Stock Kernel
I have the exact same problem on my Galaxy S III for Sprint (SPH-L710). Did you ever find a fix for this???

I have the same problem too.
Did anyone ever fix it?
The phone charges when in recovery/download mode, pulling 300 mA from PSU, but only 60mA when connected and turned on.
Im using a normal usb cable, and have short the D+ & D- Pins.
I've charged the battery in a third party battery charger and that works fine, I also have a wireless charger that too pulls around 60 mA
Maybe you all need to change the USB connector module at the bottom of the phone? I've seen these break or do strange things in many phones including Samsungs. Not sure if they eventually get broken due to overheating or what the issue is, but that would be my guess.
i have a pb in my i9300i my cell going to downloading mode automaticaly

Today i found out my SGS2 have problems charging the phone, not only that. i also have problems with USB file mode, and keis mode. and if the phone is turned off. i only once got it to charge without booting. else when i connect the USB it boot the OS.
What weird thing is, that ODIN works without problem every time!
The problem appeared after upgraded to Darky Rom KG6 with jkay mod. but don´t think it has anything to do with that.
I reflashed to a Stock KG6 (still same problem)
From OS restore to default, and format (still same problem)
tried to flash back to KE2 stock. an but on CWM, and clear battery stat, and system cache.
flashed backup with a KE2 Kernel (still had the same problem)
What i found out is that, when i disconnected the wall plug charger, the phone still was in a state of charging. and it don´t give the sound notify when attaching the USB. but when touch the USB cable it suddenly charge and give the sound. but it can also go in MTP mode. or start Voice recognize.
Could the be a faulty USB port on the phone, or can Battery State and kernel updates have something to do with this problem?
im now pretty sure this has something to do with the USB port. when i just spoke on the phone. it suddenly began to change between Car mode a normal.
i than tried an alternative why to deal with the problem. I tried with a hairdryer after taken out the battery, sim and sd card, and carefully heat the back of the phone.
for 5 hour there has not been any problem. both the desk dock, and wall charger is working.
got a dejavu from the xbox days and RROD.
I have the same issue. I think the USB port is faulty.
The phone reacts to different electrical resistor values on some pins of usb port that triggers car mode, desk mode, etc. So, somthing is faulty in the usb board that reports to the system that has something connected to it: charger, car dock, desk dock, usb jig, etc.
I can't find any solution on the forum, I tried with several roms and got nothing.
So... I'm waiting for a USB Jig to reset counter, back to stock rom and send it back to store for warranty
My problem seems to be fixed by using the hairdryer on the usb port. I think the problem appear from the why you hold the phone and if your hånd become sweaty. Because there are nothing to protection the usb port like the sgs1.

Did you really fixed just cleaning?
Yes it happening two times and it fixed it both times. So there is a pattern
hey guys... I posted something that worked for me...
see my post in the other thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16418825&postcount=25
I hope this could work for you too
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

So what was the result after all?
Hey
my s2 wont charge from the wall charger or the pc. I tried
1- clean the port with comppressd air and a needle-no luck.
2- I swap batteries-no luck.
3- changed roms including going back to stock, formmating, wipe data and so on-NO LUCK.(now runing ics 4.03 rooted with speedmod 3.1 kernel)
4- tried other chargers and cables.
apperantly im facing hardware issue.I took it to a lab and they told me that it's not the usb flex cable but it's something to do with the voltages in my s2(they didnt know how to fix it) is anyone know what he was talking about or if there is anything to do other than sending it to samsung for reapir??maybe an app or something?
p.s
no warrenty
s2 will connect normally to pc but wont charge
my only option for now is to buy a couple of batteries and a s2 battery charger
Thanks
as you mention, swapping battery don't help, what make you think buying couple of batteries and a s2 battery charger will help?... (ignore this part, i get what you mean now)
you might have hardware failure, but i am not sure either, can provide more info? what do mean by not charging? what did you do prior having this issue?
did you flash any ROM prior to this?
TNX for the reply
prior to that i went to jellybean rom but still i could charge and it also worked well when i went back to ics
my guess is that- I have an old toshiba laptop and i plugged the phone with usb cable and nothing happend, it wont recognize my s2(my s2 was working fine till i plugged it to the toshiba laptop) and now the usb port on my laptop is not working and the s2 is not charging.I think it got zapped and the motherboard or ressistors gave up.everything else is working).
all the tech guy could say that i have different voltages and it's not the usb flex cable.
trying app called voltage control but i dont relly know what setting to use...
i think going to samsung service cetner is my only option...they just gonna tear a hollle in my pocket
your case is a bit complicated. guess service center is the best option for now. normally the phone got voltage limitation which will control the amount of voltage input so you don't fry your phone.
charging problem on s2 I9100
Hello everyone
i'm Cellular Technician
I have a charging problem on s2 I9100
It shows that the phone is chargeing
But he dosen't charge the battery
1. I switched the capacitor & Q500 U 504
2. All resistors Vlade U504
3. I changed U503
4. I changed MAX8997
it's still the same problem
someone hav an idea?
Just to be clear, what I am asking for here is advice on which part I need to replace on my phone in order to fix this.
Here is what happened:
I was trying to make a bench power supply out of an old computer power supply I had laying around. Well when I went to connect the "charge only USB Cable" to the Molex connector I accidentally swapped the wire colors, I meant to use the red (5volt) but instead connected the yellow (12volt) to the USB cable. Stupid and careless mistake I know, trust me... Nothing strange happened other than the phone gave me the "incompatible charger" error. The phone will turn on and function 100% normally so long as the battery is charged via another device. For example I take my wife's fully charged battery out of her S4 and put it in mine, the phone works fine until the battery dies; the battery I swap to her phone charges perfectly fine in her phone so it is NOT a battery issue.
The phone will not charge a battery anymore, with the original charger or the other 3 white Samsung brand chargers I have, nor my car charger. After doing some research online I discovered that it was likely to be a fried USB board, which I replaced today. So the USB board and USB connector are brand new and I am still having the same problem. I also read about restoring to factory settings which I have done and also reinstalled my custom ROM. I reinstalled AFTER the error message began occurring so it was NOT cause by a the ROM update. I read that I may be able to use a wireless charger which would solve my problem, but I don't actually own a wireless charging base and I have no plans of buying one unless it is my ONLY option to fix this.
Here is an exact description of the problem:
When I connect a USB charger of any kind to the phone while it is powered off, I get a black screen and the phone vibrates once every 4 seconds or so and the battery never appears on the screen nor does the screen light up in any way.
When I connect a USB charger or connect it to a PC while the phone is on I get "The connected charger is incompatible with this phone. To prevent damage to your phone, charging has been stopped. To continue charging, use the original charger and cable that were provided with this phone." error message and a battery icon with a red "X." If connected to a PC the PC says "unrecognized USB device."
Here is my phone info:
Verizon Galaxy S4
Model SCH-I545
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband: I545VRUAMDK
Hardware Version: I545.06
Rooted
Rom: Hyperdrive RLS20
Recovery: PhilZ Touch v6.54.9
ClockworkMod v6.0.5.0
If there is a tread that has already covered this I apologize, I did do a search and didn't see one.
Any help or information is greatly appreciated.

there is no fixing this you fried the motherboard its toast done,over with gl finding another MDK motherboard those are few and far between the charge controller is part of the motherboard you need to replace the whole thing(logicboard) you are better off buying a new phone a wireless charger is worth a shot but if the charging controller is shot its not gonna do you any good the only other option would be to hotwire the battery to a external charger (you can't simply feed 5v into the battery it will melt/explode it needs to be a regulated current of 3.4 to 3.8v at about 150Mah it will take 4 hours to charge and you will need to be there to unplug it before it overcharges and explodes

I was afraid of that.
Thanks for the info.
Hey mates
One month ago, I connected my D6543 (i'm using a D6503 ROM, but half of D6543 users do this and do not have this issue) on charger and it doesn't recognized it, neither give a signal that its charging. Since this day, my device only chargers through magnetic port, and recognized my USB cable only two times during this period. Also, when I shutdown the device with charger plugged, it shows the battery charging screen, but instead of charging, the battery keeps the same level (neither the lightning inside the icon appears).
I'm using ExistenZ 5.6.5 (based on stock .291) and elite kernel v3. Already made a factory reset and reflash the ROM, but the problem persists (even with stock kernel). Also, I'm unable to go back to pure stock because my device isn't detected by my Windows 10 PC (neither by my Win 7)
Can anyone please help me? :crying:
1. Ask yourself, did you do anything that void the charging port that day when you found that you cannot charge your phone?
2. Did you tried to charge your phone with other cables or charger?
