Hello guys, newbie have strange problem here..
My SGS2 won't charge using wall charger. But I can charge the phone using USB cable.
Anyone ever experience that? I have tried to wipe battery stats through CWM, but it has no effect.
Please give me hint to solve my problem..
Thanks in advance
what wall charger are you using? You using the cable and a computer but it will take forever.
Are you using the official wall charger that came with your phone?
I'm using official wall charger coming with the phone. I also have tried using other wall charger from other samsung phone type. same problem.
So I can only charge using my usb cable now..
this might sound obvious, but have you tried plugging the charger into a different wall socket?
try cleaning the pins on your phone. maybe you have a buildup of dusts or whatever.

Yes, I tried at home and office..
maybe you're right, it's dust problem.. I'll try to make it sure clean..
have you tried a different cable with the wall charger?
Thanks for all the replies. Turn out the problem is on the wall charger. Yes, I've tried with different wall charger (my brother's), turn out the charger also not functional. At that time, I thought my brother's charger works fine so I blame it on the battery.
And then I tried to charge using my friend charger and my phone is able to charge
So I think I'll buy new charger

adapter?
is it the original wall charger and the usb data cable.?
i too had a problem with an ordinary usb data cable. it charges so sloow. like 1%/20 minutes.
better use the original accesories if its the original one and defective better return it for replacement.
It's probably a cabel problem. Charging occurs only when pins AC and Ground (1 and 5 AFAIK) are both connected, and often some of the pins stop working. If it's not a kernel of power supply problem (Which it probably isn't), it will be solved by simply changing the cable. Or if the cable works in usb charging, buy a new adapter (Make sure it's 5V before buying).
I had the original charger, then broke it...
I bought an USB to replace that(the connector was messed up)... but that charged slow, and discharge when using...(still on the original charger, but another cable)
For 2 months, I borrowed galaxy chargers, and any other friends with cables like mine, I asked them for the charger...
Then, I decided this must stop! I told my mom to find me a galaxy s charger (she was noob, doesn't know I can charge from non-lg cables)...
She found me one, and all fine...
But, before trying to buy one of those, go to a friend with a charger that fits Optimus one, and try it, if it charges faster, then buy a new charger

my mothers camera does not charge with a usb cable while when I put the cable in the camera the charge button is on.
I did not know there are still differences in USB cables ...

Our stock charger uses a wall "adapter" and an usb cable... it charges from usb, but the chargers that have no adapter (you can't remove the usb from it), charge lot better, I recommend using one of those... any samsung charger that "fits" in our phone is better than stock charger
In mine it charges rarely ! i had lg normal charger but it stops charging if i lift the cell nd use it! den took my moms samsung pop charger ..it worked fine for few weeks den again same problem arised :-S

I lost mine. I bought 2 for one deal from ebay (noname cables) and they wont charge 30% during al night. So i told them it's faulty and they sent 2 another one. still no charge so i bought an htc one wich seems a bit better, but still not like the original. My friends lg optimus 3d cable was charged it full from ~70% in about 30 mins. His another htc cable was worked fine.
I have the original charger that came with our X10, I also have a 3rd party car charger and I charger for a different phone in my office. I use all 3 of these chargers to keep my X10 charged up.
My question is this. Do all USB chargers have the same voltage and amp specifications?
So will my car/office charger damage my phone?

USB is 5V as long as I remember. I've charged my phone with car & galaxy s2 charger and it is still working, so it shouldn't make any difference.
Usb is what the pc pumps out
Car charger is what the adaptor pumps out,same for mains charger.
Chargers normally tell you what current what is pumped out,so check that out.
Usb must be more of a trickle charge...

USB Charger
Well for me, the USB cable is broken (never really understood why the design for microUSB's had the little flimsy teeth at the end). I simply replaced the cable with an LG brand and attached it to the original Sony charging block. Havent had any problems since.
The phone holds its battery well under regular use, however when I connect it to the charger, the phone takes long to charge. I have to turn off the phone and let it charge over night so that the battery charges from 30% to 80%. Again under regular usage, the phone does hold the battery well its just the charging that is ridiculously slow. I have wiped the phone and cleared the cache and still find it to charge slowly.
Is this a battery issue or a bad connection?
Are you using the oem charger?
Is it connected to the wall, or a pc?
Charging from a pc causes it to "trickle charge" which using a non oem charger will cause the data pins are active, you'll need to hack the cable and short the middle data pins to get it to fast charge like an oem charger.

Using the OEM charger, and connected to both wall and PC results in the same slow charge. When connected to my PC this morning, it kept making the sound as if connecting and disconnecting every second even though it remained plugged in.
Ah that sounds like a bad cable then.
Or, worse case scenario, a bad usb port on your phone.

definitely a ****ty USB cable
I had that happen to me. I found out it was a bad USB cable after swapping out the cable with another one. Try swapping both the cable and the charger to see what changes your charge time the most and you'll have your culprit.
I have exaclty same symptoms, tried different cables and chargers but no luck. Any clue?

yes....
buy a "new" samsung cable and charger for the galaxy note....nothing else....
and charge from the wall, not PC.....g
I have a S2 and recently it started developing a problem where it charges slowly like it's plugged into the USB Port, tho it charges from a wall socket. If I let it charge for a bit like that and I unplug the wall charger from the socket and stick it back in it's all ok and charges normally.
Does this have smth to do with my charger or with my phone???
Recently I changed the rom and kernel so it's nothing related to that. (i'm on stock kernel, rooted now and before i was on what i have in my signature)
Thanks
I'd try using a different adaptor. If you're rooted I'd also recalibrate the battery. If problem persists a new battery may be needed.

I changed the battery not even a year ago... swtiched to the 2000mah one
I'm thinking a faulty charger that doesn't wanna charge unless he gets a bit heated up, as in a faulty capacitor
Dunno yet... will try the battery recalibrate stuff first

Go to Settings -> About phone -> Status. The Battery Status will show you how the phone is charging, by USB or AC. If you use the wall charger and the phone says Charging (USB) instead of Charging (AC) then your charger might be faulty.

Thank you, will try that and let you guys know what I find out.

Didn't try a new charger... tho i have an iphone one i could use with the usb cable... and see how it goes. But it seems the charger is faulty.
The problem is the charger. A wire was loose in the micro usb charger that tells the phone it's charging from the wall socket and not from usb

It's just settling in.
Certain power points seem to not charge but certain power points do the charging job perfectly?
what's a "power point"?

The place where you plug your charger in.
that's a faulty charger then
Define 'power point'. Are you talking about different Usb cables, different chargers, different wall sockets or jiggling the cable's connector to the phone?
In the latter: replace the cable and you may need to clean the contacts on the phone (eg with a hard toothbrush)

I think he means wall sockets
ysah i think he means wall sockets also at which it would still need to be a fault with his charger as its there that the voltage is converted to the voltage and ampherage that the phone uses.any differences in voltage that is given to the socket would most likely be on a very small scale
Ah I see. Does Sammy do one to one exchanges of the charger if its faulty?

Does anyone here use aftermarket chargers? Thinking of an innergie one.

I have the same problem, but with all cables
I just posted to an other threat about charging problems, so i will copy/paste it:
I have the problem that the phone only want to charge with soms chargers.
I can connect the phone to the original charger or to a pc or any device without problems, the phone will charge.
Even with an old blackberry charger (only 2 wires, no data) and car charger can i charge without any problem!
But when i connect the phone to the htc charger of my old phone, or to an iphone charger i see the phone is connected but it won't charge.
When i open batterymonitor i see that the charger is connected, but the phone still use his battery.
I tried this with all kinds of charders and all kinds of micro usb cables. Then i thaught there was maybe a resistor or chip or something build in some chargers, because i couls only charge with chargers with 2 wire cables.
Then i took a usb extension cable and i disconnected the two data wires so only the + and - 5V cables were left,
but still no success. If anybody knows where the problem is, please let my know
with kind regards! Martijn
discovered the problem

In the case there would be more people with this problem:
The problem is not caused by the charger but by the cable. If i use a cable that's a bit to small or to long i get problems. If you want a longer cable to charge your phone, you need a good and big one, not a cheap tiny cable. I only use good cables now and had no more problems for the last year or so...
