I just received a brand new gs4 from squaretrade after breaking my old one, and it worked great for about a week, and then I couldn't charge the phone. At first it wouldn't even recognize that it was in the charger, but now it shows that it is charging when I plug it in, but it doesn't charge at all. Anyone else having this issue or know any ways to fix a possibly damaged micro usb port? Thanks in advance

Hello,
my Prime does not charge at the moment. Neither in the dock nor with the charging cable.
I can connect it to the computer, i also charges there, but very slowly.
I just unlocked the prime and flashed AndroWook ROM.
What can I do?
Do you have another charger box? - It seems that your USB cable is good but possibly that the box that cable plugs into is bad or somehow defective, see if you can either A: Borrow someones charger box or if possible buy another one and test it to see if it works. IF it does work keep the charger or return it and possible contact whoever you bought your prime from and ask for a new charger.
It's most likely the charger box because the same thing happened to me. I am currently using my old cellphones usb charger. It doesn't show it as charging because it's like 5-10 volts instead of 15, but it still charges, just takes longer.
Hi
I have about 6 months old Galaxy S2.
Since yesterday I've been having trouble getting it to charge. Connecting a charger while the phone is on or trying to connect it to the PC doesn't do anything. I've tried different cables and charges (ones that used to work until yesterday).
The only thing that gets it to charge is if I remove the battery, connect the charger, insert the battery. After it runs on its charging fine.
Do you think its a software or hardware issue? Anyone had similar one?
Thanks
For some reason, my battery only wants to charge when it's plugged into my computer. If I plug it into the wall, the battery page displays that it's being charged by USB and not by the AC Adapter that came with it. Plus it charges very slowly, even slower than my computer. When I plug it into my car charger, it doesn't charge at all.
Does anyone else have this problem? I'm gonna charge it for a while and try flashing a new ROM, it started happening since I got on a certain nightly update.

I"m having this problem. Read on another forum that several people were experiencing problems with charging. One guy opened up the phone and noticed that a few pins to the usb port on the phone appeared to be burned/corroded. I went to Verizon today and ordered a replacement. I'm not thrilled about the idea of getting a refurbished phone and may just use the purchase protection from my credit card to get a new one. Not sure if it's something that's been fixed or not or if I'll have the same problem with the replacement phone.... keeping my fingers crossed.
Are you still having the problem?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 which is 3 months old. I was able to fully charge my phone last night as usual with no problems.
However, earlier today I was trying to transfer files from my phone to my laptop using the USB cable, and it came up with a message saying that the USB is not recognized and/or malfunctioning. This was weird because this is the same cable I've been using for months with no problems.
Later, my phone was running low on battery and I tried charging it, but I got the following message:
"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 the phone."
Again, same charger that I've been using for months. My phone is now dead and if I try to turn it on the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo flashes once before the screen goes blank. Also, if I try to charge my phone either with USB or with a wall socket, my phone doesn't seem to be charging but instead vibrates once every three seconds. I have tried my friends' chargers and I have the same vibrating problem. Does anyone have any advice?
Do you know anyone else with an s4? Make sure you can turn your phone on with their charged battery. Sounds like the USB port on your phone got something in it or got damaged somehow. Apparently the USB assembly is pretty easy to replace if it is damage, but no guarantees on that being the issue. As a temporary solution you can get an aftermarket battery and external charger. Anker is cheap and reliable
i just brought a new p9000 and it was delivered yesterday. The first thing was to charge the new phone so i used the usb-c cable wich came with the phone. with my computer the phone doesn't connect or charge. with a normal socket adapter it doesn't charge either.
anyone has an idea to check whats wrong besides to buy and try another cable?
btw: charging with a qi charger works fine.
