Phone thinks it's charging, then doesn't, then does, etc - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

NVM!!! Found it! Any instructions on how to troubleshoot charging port still appreciated. Should I buy the HTC One? It's "free" right now, presumably because the m8 is about to come out.
Phone thinks I'm plugging it in, unplugging, plugging in, etc. The screen turns on each time. Besides being obnoxious, this is going to wear my battery down really fast. I've been suspicious my port is going bad so really I just want to know if there is a setting to keep the screen from turning on when "plugged in". I thought I remember such but am not finding it.

There is an option in Developer options to keep the screen on when charging, but I don't remember ever seeing one to keep the screen off. And I'm not sure if it is in all roms. I'm running SHOstock3.

Edit: misread the question, sorry!

That happens because your charging port needs to be replaced, Well, there is a "trick" (or whatever it is) to fix it, but it with the time it will fail again,. with a needle or a little stick try to move to the center the thing that looks like a tongue in the charging port, and that should fix it for a while.

Damn USB issues........again!

So I know there are several threads on this, some by me, but this time the issue is very weird.
So i'm on my third phone now, previous 2 had the USB port going wacky. Phone thinking it was charging when it wasn't plugged in, computer not recognizing phone anymore etc.
So problem has now started again on phone number three. Weird thing is this time the phone seems to not have this problem all day. Problem starts at night, so i'm assuming maybe a battery percentage left triggers it. The other weird aspect of this is that right before the phone starts bugging out, (charging, uncharging, and back, over and over while not plugged in), the car mode symbol appears in the status bar, and starts flashing on and off. If I am fast enough to catch it,I can deactivate car mode. When all this starts happening, phone also starts to get stuck and freezes up. This issue is really getting annoying. Love this phone but this is starting to make me crazy. Yes I got the phones at different stores. What do I uninstall to just get rid of car mode, considering I never use it?

Seems to be whatever USB cable you are using or the way you carry this phone is the problem. No way you get 3 phones the same exact problem in a row. FYI, Samsung Focus and Captivate had the similar problem in the past. Car mode is just the result of your USB port problem instead of the cause of it. What happens is something shorted out or bridged the pins of the USB port to make the phone think it is conneted to a car dock (IIRC, car dock uses a 300k resistor to bridge two pins). Some ppl with Focus or Captivate reported success by blowing out the dirt in the USB port.
As well as cleaning the USB port with an alcohol swab

The only USB cable I've used with all of them is the one they come with. I've used the alcohol cleaning method as well as blowing in the port, hopefully getting out any thing causing issue. This seems to help temporarily. The strangest part of all this to me is with this latest phone, I have zero problems all day. When I lay down in bed for the night and start using the phone is when it starts to happen. My battery life can range from 60%-30% at that time, so I don't know if that is a connection to this issue. Maybe the phone is possessed. It always seems to take about 2-3 weeks for this problem to arise. I always have the phone in my pocket, so I guess something must be happening with that. Luckily with this latest one, I bought the best buy insurance, it's just after awhile they're gonna start wondering why this keeps happening to me, and if it's my fault. The USB port problems can sometimes make it difficult/impossible to flash back to stock.

To the OP. The likelihood of that many bad phones in a row with the exact same problem is pretty rare. Take a look at anything that's remained consistent through all the phones, and try replacing that item(s).

+1 for replacing the cord and power brick. Alot less quality is put into them compared to the phone. Just make sure not to buy cheap. And never plug your phone into anything cheap (i.e. car radio usb port, off brand charger, ect) That's not saying everything else is bad. But why risk it. Especially when you can buy brand name chargers off ebay for $5 or less.

I've only used the supplied USB cord, every time. Now even when my phone isn't confused if it's charging or not, the battery life is now awful. 5-6% per hour drain. Used to be 1-2%. No changes made by me. Also the phone has become super laggy at times. Feel like i'm using my cappy again. My apologies for starting this post.

If he is getting 5% per hour drain at idle, yes that is horrible battery life. SGS2 is fairly easily capable of 1% per hour idle drain.

You've used the same cord with all 3? or a new cord with each one?
It sounds like you've got a boatload of issues going on. Personally i'd do a wipe and try a fresh install without installing any additional stuff to be sure the hardware is fine.. Once you've verified that start adding apps to see if it was a specific one causing the issue. (there's other ways to troubleshoot this, but a fresh wipe is the most straight forward and simple IMO)

i suppose.
However he said before it was 1-2 percent an hour. That's pretty much impossible while being used, only get numbers like that while not in use (idle). Even %5 an hour while being used isn't likely to happen. Guess i just figured it had to be in ref to idle drain.
lol guess we just wait to see

Charger loses connection

I seem to keep having an issue with phone and various chargers I own. They are plugged in but when they move around in the plug they seem to lose connection and the phone thinks I unplugged it. It makes the charging noise everytime it happens and it's even more obtrusive when below or at fifteen percent battery. Has anyone experienced this before with the Note or any phone? It is very annoying.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Yes i had a loose connection with my previous note and even had.exchanged it.for.that very same problem. I'm sorry but unless you don't want a continued problem you might need to have it exchanged. But of course in doing that there is always a chance they will say it's owner damage because that's a wear and tear problem which is not covered under warranty.
Good.luck mate

You might look here. Along with my note thinking it was connecting & disconnecting with NOTHING plugged into it, When I would move the phone
around, you could here the connection/disconnection sound. It might be
nothing more than a contaminated connection. I wrote this one and threw
in some photos. Might be worth it before you send it back.

Do i need to replace my usb port?

Several days ago my phone started behaving strangely. Whenever the phone is NOT plugged in, the battery icon flashes continuously. If i plug it in, it stops flashing and behaves normally to show the phone is charging. Also, when the phone is NOT plugged in, the lock screen says it is charging. My battery life is dismal.
When i unplug the phone the battery indicator remains at 100% for a long time, but then drops quickly.Since this started i have to charge the phone twice a day with only moderate usage.
I am now on Shostock2 4.1.5 and Siyah 4.1.1. I tried factory reset, clearing cache and clearing dalvik. I also tried installing a different kernel (dream kernel) and a different ROM (aberration), wiping data, cache and dalvik each time.
I searched the forums, and the only threads i found seem to point to a bad usb port. One thread suggested cleaning the port, which i did using alcohol and compressed air. It helped for about half an hour, and then the problem returned.
Everything seems to point to a usb port that for some reason makes the phone think it is plugged in all the time...perhaps it is somehow shorted? So, it sounds as if my next step is to replace the usb port.
Still, I wanted to ask if anyone had any other possible solutions i could try before sending the phone for warranty repair and get the port replaced (or replace it myself).
Any ideas?
You are being kind of vague here. For instance. U say u have to charge it twice a day with .moderate usage. What if your moderate usage is 2.5 hours screen on time or something. To me, that means of course u will need to charge again if u want to make it he whole day. A bit moar info? Some cowbell?

Moderate usage means (for me anyway having the phone on, wifi on, gps off, no gaming. I only turn the screen on to check email for a couple of minutes here and there, and to answer the occasional call. Before the problem started my phone used to go all day without recharging. Now, even if i let the phone sit, unused, untouched, screen off (like overnight) battery level will drop over 10%per hour. I tried using better battery stats but none of the triggers have been triggered: if i try "since unplugged" or "since charged" or "since screen off" they all show zero seconds...I'm guessing that being "plugged in" continuously is messing with the triggers.
Still, the battery drain is not really the problem. The problem is that the phone seems to think it is plugged in continuously, even when it is not. It sounds like a bad usb port, or a port about to fail completely, but before i try to replace it i wanted to know if anyone had any other possible ideas.
People usually scrub the inside of the port with an alcohol swab if I'm not mistaken. Thought I've seen that posted, never had this problems myself.

My USB port needs to be replaced due to wear ( loose fit of cable). The ones for I777 I have found are $7.00 but are port alone, ones that are for I9100 are $15.00 but are attached to the ribbon cable. I plan to take phone apart to try to determine if the I9100 part will work. The price to have it repaired by MobileTechVideos is $40.00 plus shipping.

Definitely sounds like symptoms of a bad USB port to me. One thing you might do if you want additional confirmation, is to flash back to stock firmware (to rule out firmware issues...though I don't know of anyone who has confirmed this type of symptom being caused by bad firmware) and grab an older copy of BBS that will continue to report stats when plugged in (or maybe it will still do this if you set custom ref? I haven't tried.) There is a wakelock that will show for plugged in...vbus_present I think it is. Or you can also watch CPUSpy - if it continually thinks it's plugged in you'll get zero deep-sleep.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions.i tried sering a custom reference in bbs but no luck. No matter what i try they all show zero seconds. If i look at the battery graph in the system menu, it says the phone has been charging non-stop for the past two days, which is not the case. I will try cpuspy and report back.
Get a tooth pick and push up or down on the metal insert inside of port. May take a few tries but will work. I believe it is caused by your chargers 5 little metal cables bent when you plug into phone...

BBS update
FYI - I just grabbed the latest RC for BBS, and it now has a toggle-able option to log stats while charging (with a caveat to use at your own risk...stats may be inconsistent). Might be another tool for further investigation.

I tried cpu spy. i left the phone untouched, unplugged screen off for about 90 minutes. Cpu spy shows the phone spent almost all of that time at 200 mhz, never entered deep sleep. So it does seem to be a hardware problem, where the phone thinks it is plugged in continuously. i will carefully try the suggestion above to straighten the pins inside the port..maybe they are bent and somehow shorting. If i screw up the port....well, i probably have to change it anyway

Well it's not my cable. What it does is act like it is connected with no cable being connected. Therefor causing it to act like it is charging. Then it prevents deep sleep and wakes and vibrates every so often. Really quite annoying and killer to battery life...

My note is not charging properly... Help?

I have owned the phone for just over two weeks and recently it started doing this thing where it does not charge properly when the oem charger or any other samsung use chargers that I own are inserted.
Sometimes re-inserting the charger a bunch of times gets it going. Sometimes you insert the charger and it starts going, then flip flops back and forth between charging and not charging.
The first time this happened I had to let it die completely before it would take a charge.
This is extremely frustrating. Does anyone have any advice? Is this a software or hardware issue? I have cleaned out both the cords and the ports and I don't belive I would have damaged them in any way. Any advice would help.
Thank you.

If you jiggle the cable around, is there any sweet spot where it charges properly? My Thunderbolt does this too, and I found with mine if you force the cable towards one side it will always work.
I've had this happen to mine a few times as well. Would just stick somewhere and doesn't want to charge anymore. I saw a possible fix for it somewhere online, I believe they were talking about the S2 not charging, and he did some combination of pulling the battery out, plugging it in, then putting the battery back in and turning it on. I can't remember exactly but you might search it and see if you can find it. It fixed it for a lot of people, but it seems to be intermittent, and more than anything I've attributed it to the cord. It doesn't sit very well, and one of the times it happened, the plug wasn't all the way into the wall. I actually just had it happen this morning where I was stuck at 95 percent, and I just rebooted and now it's going back up again.
I also have issues where the screen goes black (SOD) and won't come back on without a battery pull. Again, very intermittent and I'm trying to pinpoint the cause, because it happened more often when I was on 240 DPI, and when I was messing with the kernel cpu. I'm actually underclocked now on Perseus to 1.3 on the 5g profile, and running smoothly ever since(2 full days of same setup and no issues)
The other variables I've noticed when I get the SOD, is it's usually when my battery is lower, and I might still have radios on, such as Bluetooth, but nothing paired.
Sent from my unlocked & underclocked Note 2
Yeah I think it might have something to do with the female end on the phone being so recessed from the plastic housing. Either way this is annoying me and I don't want my phone acting like this even if it is intermittent. I will start looking into a warranty replacement.
I bought the phone off contract, does anyone know if the return policy for an off contract phone is any different than the typical Verizon 14 days?

Bricked HTC One

So my phone died.
Not by flashing. Not by rooting. Not by anything. I plugged it in on thursday with about 3% battery remaining, and next thing I know I am late for class because the phone died in middle of the night sometime. I was running a CM10.1 nightly. It was buttery smooth and honestly felt better for the phone than sense did. So I had no quarrel.
Now it wont boot, no LED, no capacitive buttons, no adb, no recognition, no nothing. I assume myself as a veteran of android and its capabilities (including how incredibly difficult one actually is to brick) and I have never seen something like this.
If your phone has done this, say so.
I want to hear stories and isolate the incident. If you have any ideas, share them.
Im a little ticked because I really liked this phone and its a ****ty way to have it go.
Stab in the dark but could it possibly be dead and your charger didn't charge it. Never heard of a situation like this and I've done some strange things to my phones. Possible or battery is so dead is why u can't power up. Try a different charger on it for a couple hours and try again.
Edit, when u have it plugged in to a charger does the led glow red ?

I hope it works out. Since it's a new phone, at least you've got the warranty.
other people have posted about this issue in the international thread. but as far as i know after letting it charge a while they all came back on and they all said no charging light when plugged in
a lot of the people with this problem were also running cm10.1
