Hello friends,
My phone is not at all charging when I am connecting it to a charger. I have tried with different chargers with same result. When I connect the charger, it shows the charging battery icon and it also does not charge when I connect it with USB through a PC. I could charge the battery using another handset and it does charge without any issues on that device. I am totally clueless about this as it was charging normally some days back. The battery does not seem to have any issues and I do not see any problem with the chargers also as the phone shows charging status when connected to a charger. Please help me with this.

Try boooting into recovery and clearing cache and dalvik cache.
It's also possible that there is dust or lint in the charging port on the phone. If some but not all of the pins are making a connection it is possible to still see the charging animation when the phone isn't actually charging. You can clean the port by blowing into it as hard as you can, and then clean with something llike isopropyl alcohol.
Have you recentlly changed roms or anything?
Go into settings>batttery and see if theres a rogue app or anything which is eating battery. I would think though that if there was an app using enough power constantly to prevent the phone from charging at all, the phone would be getting quite hot.
There's a couple of ideas for you. Try them, then report back and I'll help you further if needed.
As suggested above, try cleaning the USB port. If it still doesn't work then there is a huge probability of USB board gone bad. You can get it replaced cheaply on any mobile repair shop or even cheaper if you want to do it yourself. Follow Keith Ross' guide on USB board replacement.

I have purchased it recently through a refurbished seller...I also have noticed that swipe unlock is also not working and when I am pressing the power button, I am not getting any menu like we usually get with reboot, flight mode, etc. when I press it for a couple of seconds, it will simply switch off. The phone is giving a decent backup once I charge the battery through an external battery charger and as far as the software goes, I do not know if any changes have been made to the rom by the seller...I am not able to boot into recovery also using the volume up + menu button + power button combination...
Can you get into download mode with volume down + home + power?
It's strange for the phone to switch off without any menu..
If you can get into download mode I think the best thing to do would be to install gingerbread stock, and then work your way up until kitkat via ICS and use a custom kernel such as Mackay.

Hi again,
I experimented installing CM11 and all seems to work fine... I mean the lockscreen and all... but I did not like the camera and I think it is not as good as the stock rom. Can you please help me revert back to the stock rom... what I need to do and what files are needed...
by the way I was going through a link on the internet on odin but my phone is not connecting to odin...is there any way other than odin to go back to stock?

hello...i hope that someone can help me....when i try to turn off the device,it shut down and after few seconds reboot?why?
also simetime the phone don't turn on and on screen i see a green battery with a thermo....someon can help me?
Did you find the answer to this? i am sending my SGS2 back for replacement. i have the same errors plus the following.
Phone selects speaker rather than earpiece as default for incoming/outgoing calls
Phone on ocasions randomly starts Kies and Voice commands even if there is no physical contact with the phone
sometimes the phone defaults back to a launcher i have never seen before (it is not touchwiz) and i have no idea how to launch it without it doing it automatically.
The faults you mentioned can be bypassed with a battery pull but they are annoying, I didn't have these problems until i upgraded my firmware through Kies to KE7.
I have an O2 branded device.

-start alarm clock
-think its charging when the cable is not plugged in
-Reboot it self/turn it self on when its off

Exactly the same to me
How do you flash congnition? just over the stock rom with odin?
did you flash modem?
Absolutely same here, since coming from CM7 to VillainRom.
Never had that before.
I´m waiting and watching it and your results!
Thanks for this thread.
That's why I don't root the phone..it works fine.

This has nothing to do with root access.
I cannot believe that any problem related just because you have access to your system.
Back to topic, flashed back to cm but problem persists.
It's getting really bad near to flashing stock and bring it back to change device if someone knows what it is could be helpful.
I also have this problem. I think it has something to do with the usb port.
Because sometimes it just scans for media, or it thinks it is charging. Really weird! Then i just put in the charger and it stops for a while. Turning off will just reboot the device. And removing battery and plugging it back it also just reboots the phone.
I hope it is not hardware related...
I was looking for help for a problem I have but this seems to cover most of the problems I'm having.
Mine has recently started going into a strange mode after shutting it down. I get the battery charging symbol alternating with the "battery overheating" symbol.
The only way to stop it is to remove the battery for at least a couple of hours (if you put it straight back in it automaticly starts up and goes back to flashing the battery warnings) or pressing Power, Vol+ and Home and choosing Reboot.
I have also noticed its very slow to respond to plugging the charger in or out. It doesn't always wake-up and bleep when the charger is put in and it stays showing its charging for some time after the charger has been removed.
I was told that the charger should be removed as soon as charging is compleated but surely overnight is the only time we have available to charge these phones!
Depending on the custom rom or kernel you are using, it might not support off mode charging.
To avoid having a "problem" with charging the phone in off mode, some developers decided to make the phone boot up when the phone is been charged when the phone is off.
Going back to an official stock ROM fixes this problem.

As for Cyanogen, since built 23, you can charge the phone when it is in the "off" state. Please wipe out your userdata partition before flashing. Do not restore from a previous backup.
I fixed my reboot problem (rebooting instead of turning off) by letting the battery drain all the way so it couldn't boot anymore. Tried turning it on to see if it really doesn't go on anymore. After that I plugged in the charger and I got the charging-symbol and it did not turn on so I kept it charging overnight while turned off and in the morning it was finished and turned it on.
I also cleaned the usb-port on the phone with a toothpick. It had alot of dust stuck in it which I couldn't see. After that no more problems...for now. They haven't returned for 2 days now.

What kernel and rom are you using? I have not seen the battery overheating symbol on the sgs2.
No, there is no need to remove the phone from charger, when the phone gets to what is considered full, the battery will stop charging by itself.
Are you using the original samsung charger that came with the phone, or are you using a after market charger? Most of these USB chargers do not send a signal on the data lines. When using these chargers, the phone becomes laggy and unresponsive, there is also a delay to register anything on the touch screen. Stay away from these chargers.
For lithium batteries just charge it whenever you feel like it. Lithium batteries have a few thousand deep charge cycles, meaning if you use up all the power, then charge it,you use 1 deep charge cycle. However, if you use the micro cycles for charging, you can charge the batteries a few million times. Leaving the battery on empty for too long will damage the lithium battery.
Can any one confirm if this is a hardware or software issue as i now have the problem when i try and switch the phone off it will just reboot?
The Same issue occurs in my sgs2
hi everybody,
i just got my sgs2 ten days ago
everything seems good at first
then i realized screen standby lock lag problem, there exist a lag between 1 second to 2.5 seconds.
i ignore that due to it cannot be named as a problem, it seems like a bad characteristic
then yesterday , i have faced with another problem
after i have docked the phone to the original vehicle dock kit,
phone cannot be closed via power button , i hold it 1.5 seconds then chose turn off among list, phone looks like to be turned off then after a little while it just vibrates and reboots. That is phone cannot be turned off, it s somehow turn itself on again.
Whats the reason of this problem ?
In another forum one faced with the same problem said that it turned out to be normal when the battery is erased but the problem is occured again after docking.
micro usb connector
I droped my phone in the water, got it alive again, but with all the error(overheat battery symbol, no stable usb connection, reboot when i power off, 100% charged not going away) replaced the micro usb connector with a new one.
Some problems are gone but i still can't connect to pc (kies, debug etc), poweroff problem still happen sometime.
Conclusion: It is not only the usb part of the phone that are causing this problem.
But I do belive its a hardware problem.
Have you phone maybe got to much to drink too..
usb port???
I've recently been experiencing the same problem
When I turned off my phone it switched on again!
And removing battery and plugging it back it also just reboots the phone.
Sometimes the USB connector and charger are confused
Do solved the problem by changing the USB port?
plz help me
Thank you in advance for helping me
This is definately a hardware issue. Clean the usb connector, failing that it will need replacing

I got a wierd problem. My galaxy S2 refuses to shut down.
When I shut the phone down without a USB cable connected then the phone turns black and the 'menu and 'return' button lights up then the phone vibrates. at this stage before the buttons turns black and the phone was totally shut down. now instead the buttons are still lit after the vibration and then the phone starts up again.
With a USB plugged in after the vibration when shutting down I get to the screen where the battery indicating charging is shown, but as soon i remove the USB cable the phone starts.
I got a youtube clip showing all this and I will update the post as soon the 'audio swap' is done.
The power button is not stuck.
It's not rooted:
Code:
Android version: 2.3.3
I9100XXKE7
2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555 root(at)DELL101 #2
GINGERBREAD.XWKF3
I cleared the cache in 3e recovery. No change.
I fully charged my battery. No change
I drained my battery to 0%. No change
I tried another battery. No change.
What's the deal? Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
I'm asking this in order to avoid sending the phone to service since it most likely will be gone for a couple of days. I will not try stuff involving rooting the phone since I need to have the option of sending it to service without them refusing the phone due to rooting.
/Anders
What's the deal? Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
The deal is as always step one backup your data and via recovery factory reset .
Saves the service centre doing just that and may fix the problem .
jje
Hello,
Factory reset was one of the options I was trying to avoid. However I just performed a format/factory reset. And the problem is still there. When I shut down the phone restarts.
Also to add to the confusion the phone can also enter a state when I'm in the battery charging screen (Not booted phone) when a thermometer with a warning sign is pressent. However, I have waited for hours with the battery unplugged and everything is cold. That warning seams wierd to me and might be the root of all evil. That screen is pressent without a USB cable plugged in and that is also abnormal.
Any other options?
Thank you for helping.

I recorded the problem.

Have you tried to hold down the Power button for 8 seconds? OR a battery pull for 10 minutes?
Regards.
yeah you should try and pull out the battery...
i had the same problem after I used the JIG on my phone.. it refused to shutdown, and kept rebooting it on each try to shutdown..
i pulled out the battery for awhile, and plugged it in and out to the charger..and it worked.
if it's still nagging you, try flashing a new kernel
Yes I tried pulling the battery and also used a battery from another S2 without any changes in the behaviour.
They talk about this problem at androidforums

Maybe your power button is faulty or stuck. Do you have a case? Is it somehow holding the button down after you release it?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Generally this is caused by a dirty or faulty USB port. Shorts on specific pins with specific resistances will cause different behaviors.
Try cleaning the port with a dry clean toothbrush. If that doesn't work, take out the battery, and try cleaning the USB port with a q-tip and a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Then let it dry before putting the battery back in.

I've already tried it and no luck. The technician told me that it is the USB Port problem sometimes also because of overcharging the phone. The USB Port can be fixed immediately but the problem is my SGS2 is a Korean S2. They told me that the port is different from the one's that they have here in the Philippines. Is it true?

Even i used to have these problems. Phone shows charging or usb cable connected for no reason out of the blue. Device wont simply shut down and would start up again.

Until now, it's not happening to your S2 again? How did you clean the USB Port again?
Well nothin much...i just took a little cotton and cleaned whatever i can. And then i kept the phone off for about a day or two. And when i switched it back on voila the issue had disappeared
The only problem am facing now is the home button issue taking me to voice command. But then again i froze it with titanium backup. No issues after that

So the last couple of weeks it seems my player 5.0 is really picky on what kind of charger will charge it. At first all worked and then no wall charger would work only through USB. Then only a few cords I could barrow from friends now none at all but once in a blue moon. It will not even attempt to charge on 99% of cords. I have recently found out if my device is completely dead I can plug it in and it will do nothing but reboot till it completly dies. If I let it completely die and not unplug the cord it will charge and reboot 100% after a hour or two and be fine again but does n longer charge unless its own ignorant demand. I haven't tried switching roms cause I'm quite content with my current one and has no other problems software visible so I was curious on if it was hardware instead any ideas guys?
I've seen mixed results trying to charge with cables other than the one that came with the player. Sometimes they work fine, other times they work for a while then wont charge it. Most of the time, data transfer works fine. Might be some weird voltage issue or something with the hardware, but I saw issues with the Stock setup.

I think this can only be hardware related, right? Does the micro-usb port still look right? You could send your device if you still have warranty (or if you really need it repaired).. That will take some time, though
To clarify, is this distinct from the standard bootlooping problem where a device will continuosly cycle through a partial boot if it's powered on (or reset) while connected to another computer via the usb cable? If the battery is too weak to last through a whole boot process, the charging screen will flash on and off as it moves through that partial boot cycle.
If that's NOT the problem you're experiencing, I'd suggest booting into recovery mode and wiping the battery stats (it's under advanced in most CWM-based kernels).

Thank you wiped battery stats and my.cord I though I had wasted 20$ on started charging it right after reboot
Glad that worked. Odds are it was actually charging the battery, but android had the wrong info, so it wouldn't show as charging or warn you when the battery was getting low. This is a fairly common occurrence for me, which is why I never trust the battery indicator, and charge it whenever possible.
Hi,
Yesterday when I took the phone off the charger normally, it started to indicate that it is being recharged, and a couple of seconds after it announces that it will no longer be charged and this same cycle continues and continues playing the annoying sound / message. I tried to fix it by removing the battery, but it did not help at all. I also tried to connect the phone to Kies but when Kies recognize it, the program crashes ...
So could someone please help me with this?

Did you try to blow some air in the usb port? As it may contain some dust that is leading your phone to notify you as if it is being charged...

Hey,
I have been actually been having the same problem, it could:
1. bad charging brick
2. battery issue
3. kernel issue - i dont think its this one any more because i am still getting it on the stock leaked firmware.
4. usb charging board
i have tried flashing different roms / kernels and doesnt seem to be a cache / file issue since it happening before the phone boots. (charging screen)
if possible try another s2's battery in your phone... power off the phone and see if it auto starts or goes into charging screen. I have a spare battery and i dont seem to get the issue on that one. (still testing)
I also noticed i really only get the issue when i leave the phone charging for the night then wakeup. pull the charging cable and the phone doesn't register the disconnect and says its still charging. if i connect the usb to a laptop and connect and disconnect, it registers instantly.
i have looked for bent pins / dust.. depending on the better testing goes it may be the charging board that could be the issue.
good luck

I agree with you about the usb port problem. I also had a problem with the usb port, the battery icon was blinking all the time and the phone had a huge battery drain issue. All I could do is returning to stock, unrooting and bringing the phone to service center for repair.

Everything indicates my Galaxy Tab p5113 is charging properly- the tab tells me in several places its charging, there is a flash symbol on the battery. Charging via PC is no different. However, in reality it's not charging at all, the battery percentage is always going down.
Ive tried (1)different batteries, (2)different chargers and (3) different firmwares - the result is always the same - a drip drip of the percentage charge.
Not only does the Tab tell me it's charging, I am also not having any problems with the data connection - I can move stuff between PC and Tablet and vice versa without any problem.
Where can I go from here? Help please.

I'm not sure.. But I would wipe cache,dalvik cache,and reset/wipe the battery stats in recovery and reboot. If that doesn't work see if something is running, pulling away charge ( I doubt this,but had to put it in ) You said you changed firmware..did this include a kernel change. If not I would grab a stock kernel or at least one you know works well. Double check USB pins are not bent or touching/maybe dirty. My e4gt showed it was charging all the time once.. I could still charge and transfer files. Ended up being a bent USB pin. I fixed it with a tooth pick and a pair if tweezers..lol. Take the battery out if you plan on sticking anything in the USB charging slot..Sorry I couldn't be more helpful
Just in case there was a problem with the Charging Port I swapped it with another one I had which I know to be working. This hasnt made any difference.
I am happy it's not a kernel problem. I was running a stock firmware, I then updated via Kies to another stock firmware. I then put on CM 10.1. In all these cases, whatever the firmware, it didnt make any difference, the battery didnt charge.
Ive tested the battery with a multimeter. I know it's not charging despite the device saying it is. In this circumstance I dont think that a re-calibration is necessary.
Im feeling at a loss. Despite trying different chargers, different firmwares, different batteries and different charging ports the device will just not charge. Im think the problem might be on the motherboard (but not sure where).
Comments appreciated
Same here with my Galaxy Note 10.1. This is a unit issue. Not a charger or battery issue. After some lengthy time it does manage to get charged and everything is great again...for awhile. I have done a lot of research and found no solution. I have seen posts where people have changed the battery and the charger with the cable and same problem persists. Samsung seems blind to the situation.
Try this with the tablet plugged in to power: Hold down all three keys (vol up, vol down, power) until the tablet resets. I think this resets the charging logic and may work.
