hey
I can't charge up my phone using the charger (I've tried different chargers) and the only way that I can charge it is connecting it to the PC, but when I do the phone doesn't recognize my simcard and sometimes even this method doesn't work for charging it.
what do you think is the problem? Can it be solved by changing the battery? If there is something wrong with the board how easily can it be fixed? Could fixing it cause more problems elsewhere on the board?
Thanks in advance
P.S: the USB on the go doesn't work either.

First try to get hold of an alternate batt (may be one from ur friends phone) , put the same on ur phone and see if it charges for u.
If it does then the batt might be faulty, if it doesnt then u might have some hardware issue , which either a service center or a local service guy can tell
Change the USB controller. Cheap to buy, easy to do. There have been a number of threads about this in Q&A over the past few weeks, search for those threads (Or take it to a service centre as suggested).

HI guys,
i have 2 problems from 3 days:
i have a problem with my SG2 when i disconnect the charge cable my phone continually stay in charge and every 10-15 second say me charging paused voltage too high.
second problem is USB , when i connect my phone to my computer it does not recognize it .
3 days ago all work perfectly now i try to restore stock firmare, full wipe but the problem persists anyone can help me? thanks
Sounds like the USB circuitry issue we see a fair bit of on here. Given you've already done a wipe & gone back to stock & you're still seeing the problem, I'd say it's a repair job.
Edit to add - You could try gently cleaning the USB port with an new/unused toothbrush before you do send it in for servicing.
maybe is hardware problem i dont know But the problem is in the same spot may be the cable entry which is damaged
Yep it could be the socket itself is damaged rather than the board. I guess they only way you'll know (assuming cleaning it doesn't work; which it probably won't) is if you have a mobile tech take a look at it.
The cable itself can become worn on the pins from multiple flashing and removal of usb cable .

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?
My Samsung Galaxy S2 has this problem.
A: I doesn't register the charge in the socket unless I wiggle it around or put pressure on a certain area. It's sensitive and it takes me a while to make it 'stick'.
b: It only charges to about 30% and then it stops charging.
I have tried numerous chargers and usb cables and always the same issue. I have replaced the battery and its the same problem.
Any help? I bought this damn thing on ebay a few weeks ago so I don't really know its history. The seller refuses to refund and I've opened a case.
Anyway that will all take a long time.
Any idea what the problem is and how to fix it?

Try Charging the battery externally using a battery charger, and not from inside the phone....I suppose it should get charged 100%...
If not then its battery problem...
If it does get charged then there might be a problem in the port or connection to the battery via inside the phone...get it checked at a samsung customer care...If you have warranty you might get it fixed for free...
I don't think there should be any problem with your kernel etc..
Press Thanx If I helped..
Try cleaning the micro USB port with a toothbrush or something similar
This type of issue is not weird and has been discussed on forum plenty of times.
Clean the battery contacts on battery and pins on device with alcohol (cleaning alcohol). If that doesnt work and you have changed charger/battery then your hardware is faulty so nobody here can help.

I tried with an electric toothbrush. no joy. Do you mean opening up the phone and cleaning it from the inside?
This replacement part?
Hi is this the part that you would replace?
NEW GENUINE SAMSUNG S2 i9100 GALAXY INNER USB CHARGING PORT MIC FLEX PART
(CANT DO A LINK)
Apply some petrol on a toothbrush and try cleaning charging port... After some time try charging .. Iff still not working get the port replaced

if you need new charging port look on amazon or other type retailer i got one for £10 (uk).... then look on youtube for guide on how to fit part.. it looks tricky but its dead simple to do so long as you don't attack it like an ape.
Good luck..
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.

I know you guys have probably seen a thread like this a million times, but I know exactly what the problem is, but I have no idea as to how to fix it. The problem is in the phone's charging port itself, I need to get this repaired as after noticing that using the Galaxy Charging Current app, depending on the position of the USB cable, a different current is being supplied (all USB cables & Chargers wiggle around, they used to be held in solidly). Of course I have tried tens of other ways to find out what the problem is, and I know it's this for sure.
I'm based in the UK and I didn't buy the phone from a normal shop such as car phone warehouse, so does anyone know where I can get my phone fixed?
Thanks in advance!:good:

Not sure where to get it fixed but have you thought of buying a spare battery and charger? I have a separate battery and charger and hardly ever charge my phone directly with the charger. When one battery runs down I swapp them over done no waiting for my phone to charge
