Ok heres the deal... about three weeks ago I was sleeping and got up through a spark followed with a little bit of smoke out of the charging port (charging over night guy). The next day I noticed that I couldn't charge my phone anymore. It smelled like a week like rotten plastic.
So I thought I buy myself a wireless charging pad and it helped. But you can't carry a pad with you all the time. So I ordered a dock connector for self replacement. Today I replaced it but it still won't charge by cable. But now when I connect it via cable to the laptop it says "USB device not recognized... needs more power".
The thing is also, I have a 925F and on the original dock connector was printed " 925F" but on my replacement unit was printed "925K" or something like that. But I thought it wouldn't matter, that are just some electric pieces or not? Well on that replacement unit are also the microphone, home back menu buttons and they are working perfectly.
Soooo does anybody got an idea whats wrong with my phone
I ordered a similiar thing like that:

Take it to samsung. If you got it brand new its covered under warranty. Similar thing happened to mine. They replaced it and told me if charging overnight to disable fast charge and use regular cable charging.

I just got my first Android phone, an LG Optimus T from eBay. I'm loving it, however the touchscreen is extremely flaky while the phone is charging. Googling this problem suggests that this is a common problem with cheap phone chargers.
The eBay ad said that the phone was basically new and that the box would contain all of the things that it came with. The charger that was in the box, in an opened plastic bag has no LG branding anywhere on it. It does not have a USB port on the charger, just a permanent cord with the MicroUSB plug on the end. It just has a small label that says "Travel Charger/Type TGR-025/Input:AC110V-240V/OutputC 5V-12V".
My question is: Is this the charger that came with the phone when it was brand new in the T-Mobile packaging? Or, did the seller send me a crappy charger in the original box instead of the real deal? Is there anyone here who bought the same phone direct from T-Mobile and can clarify what their charger looks like?
Thanks for any help you can offer. Based on your responses, I will take this up with the eBay seller and get it made right.

I ordered two chargers from ebay, and both of them have USB ports on them that you plug a USB cable into (with a microUSB at one end). Sounds like you did NOT get everything that came with it, and you should complain to the seller/ask for some money back.
I got the T-Mobile Optimus T phones (which are identical to the Optimus One), but I don't know if they come bundled with the exact same chargers or not.
Same problem
I have the original charger and i have the same problem with the touchscreen when i charge the phone...
any solution? or its a bug of the software?
when I use my friends htc desire data/charger cable to connect my phone to pc to charge, the touch screen goes retarded. but when I connect my own cable, the phone works perfectly. so it could be either the cable or charger.
the original charger comes with a small sticker that says travel adaptor and there us an lg logo in front of it.
Now after waiting more than one month I got my transformer, but...
The pad (alone) is charging very slow (several hours) although the pad tells me it is not charging - strange!
The dock (alone) is not charging
The pad in the dock is charging as long as the dock has some power
but remember, I'm not able to charge the dock.
Phonecall with Amazon:
I should send back all the stuff and they will replace it.
I waited more than one month for the pad and therefore I suggested only to send me a new charging cable and adapter
That is not possible for Amazon, so they gave me the phone number from Asus
Phonecall with Asus:
They will not send me a new cable and adapter without having my one.
It can last up to several weeks till I will get back the cable - hmpf!
Trying to buy a new cable/adapter, so that I can work with my pad is very (too) expensive.
So, now I am thinking about giving all back and buy some other stuff from another company.
Frustrating!

I'm sorry to hear this. At my local bestbuy they have a Prime and dock on display. Maybe your local Bestbuy has a display model with a AC Adapter/cable that you could try out?
@skygunner: What do you mean with "Bestbuy"?
Bestbuy is a local electronics store here in the U.S. Do you have a store that sells the Prime where you can test your dock?
we have some but they don't sell this one but only the parent version and there I think is a different adapter/cable.
Solv ethe Transformer Prime charging problem - easy
Don't send back to ASUS they have no idea what this problem is.
Simple solution ( I had nothing to lose by trying it). Reset using a paper clip for 10 seconds in hole in tablet near SD card.
No settings seem to be lost, all wireless passwords intact, Skype contacts OK. Started taking charge straightaway. And been fine since. I would prefer that ASUS could tell me why but it is working fine and a brilliant piece of kit. No WiFI or GPS issues for me and buying through Carphone Warehouse pain free and I was no fan of theirs. Hope this helps.
My symptoms were:
Keyboard had drained to nil, tab had drained to 25%. No charge being taken. Tried alternative trasnformer plug and a PC USB port. Still no charge. Cable was recognised as it sparked the Prime into life. I have ICS downloaded.
don't reset.
put your charger in the freezer for a while.

Or bend the prongs to ensure proper connection once charger is fully assembled
Or all of them.
P.s.
If you throw it in the freezer, please put it in a bag and don't let it get saturated with moisture.
(So so funny that they can't even get like a $1 charger right, and we're expecting a fully-functioning tablet from them...)
Guys, I'm convinced the usb connector on my 9 month old TP is defective and gets worse each time I use it. I had bought a touchstone charger to ease the connector wear but still, I was eventually having problems with USB data connectivity using store bought cables. I even sent my TP in to fix the connector and when I got it back, still no USB connectivity. Just a completely wiped TP. So HP sent me one of their "genuine" silver dot cables and low and behold it worked fine. (My original cable was lost)
Now, months later, I'm having problems with the USB data connection again. I either get the "Not enough current message" in WebOS or no MTP USB symbol in CM9. Sometimes the PC will chime positively but with an error message (can't detect device). I received another genuine HP cable and it behaves the same as the other one. Inserting them normally, they appear to be in tight, the PC will chime but Windows will say that there's a problem, can't detect device. The only way to get it to work is to insert the microusb side at a 45 degree angle tilted downward and hold it in for 5 seconds, then (ever so slowly) release the pressure to the connector. 50% of the time I'll get a Windows message that says the USB is degraded and run slower than normal (which I think means it thinks its in USB1.1 slow xfer mode) and 50% it works fine at USB 2.0 (until I pull the cable out of the connector). I also have 2 store bought cables that won't ever successfully connect to USB with the TP but work fine with my Samsung cell in both charging and xferring music over to the phone.
So what I'm getting at here is that no standard microusb cable is the same and that there must be something special about the HP genuine one. Do these cables have a resistor on pin 4 ID tied to GND pin 5? Even so, I think what is wearing the most is pins 1 & 2 and maybe 3 (VCC and the data pins) which is why it may only work by concentrating on seating those pins first. Does it make sense that the 'can't detect device' message comes up with just the data lines and ground connected but no VCC? For that matter, why would the battery symbol in CM9 always show the lightning bolt assuming pin 1 VCC is not connected?
I'd appreciate any responses from other members here since I believe without USB the TP could be bricked in case some boot code gets corrupt and you are forced into WebOS recovery mode. This has never happened to me yet and I've installed a lot of nightlies but it COULD happen, no guarantees. What is inevitable is my connector will eventually wear out and my TP will only live until the bootloader DOES get corrupt, hopefully later than sooner. This could be the case with all TP's. Just imagine if in a couple of years everyone's TP's USB port goes bad. Sounds like the devs should figure out a way to fix a bricked TP wirelessly, if that's at all possible.
Thanks,

One of my Touchpad's had the same problem in Webos it said using wrong charger may not charge or something similar and with Android ie nightly the charging signal came up but it did not charge.
I spoke to HP and pointed out that I have 2 Tablets and that swapping leads or chargers made no difference all combinations worked on one but not the other.
They agreed to fix it and replaced the part. It is now working fine. And as with yours my computer failed to recognize the tablet properly.19 times out of 20 on the one time it did I was able to back up and remove Android before HP picked it up.
I would send it back under warranty or if that has expired state that it was preexisting. Otherwise as you said it is going to become pretty much unusable.
Don't let them fob you off.
Good luck

Thanx for your prompt responses. I bought my TP at the 2nd fire sale through BB in early Nov so I still got a few more months but I would rather wait a bit more since they did nothing the 1st time around. I think the connector is on some daughter board along with the vibrate device which is soldered to the main board. Doesn't sound like a big deal to repair it. Still, what makes the HP cable different then the others? Are there known cables I can get online that might be made better to always work and make better contact than the HP ones?

i keep track of the serials and they always came back the same. i have more than one pad and i asked for one to be replaced completely. we will see if that happens. but they fix only what u ask for and nothing else.
it can take longer depending on Weekends. takes 2 days to get your box, then 2 days to get it to HP, then 3- 4 days to get your fixed unit. its all done thru UPS, cant send it out on the weekends or receive it

Hi all. I know this thread is really old, but I'm finding myself dealing with similar issues. And I'm obviously out of warranty. I can't get windows, linux, or Toolbox to pick up the USB. I'm actually in a worse case scenario mention here and am stuck in meboot, TWRP, and WebOS recovery, because I had wiped the rom. It must be an issue with the USB port, I've lost track of my original Hp touchpad OEM cable, and have tried every USB cable I can find. Any help would be appreciated.
Is anyone else having problems with the charging port not staying tight? When I first got the phone the original charger worked fine. Over time it loosened up, and I understand that. But it got to the point where it didn't charge. So I've been using an old cable. I went to Verizon the other day and took the original cable with me and they exchanged it for a new one(their brand of course). Well the other night, the old cable I've been using to transfer stuff to my phone is to the point where if you move it any it disconnects from computer. And tonight the new cable I got a couple days ago is loose. it's still working though. When I first got it it fit tightly in there. I've been extra careful not to pull it out at any angles or anything.
Try this cable
Try this cable. Works very well for me. Search ebay for:

Just replaced the charging port on my ATT SGII i777. Still not charging. Any ideas on what to try next?
The charge port I bought was for a i9100 but I was under the impression that they were interchangeable:
I've tried several chargers so I'm pretty sure it is not the charger,

Cable? Have you tried a different charging cable?I know it sounds ridiculous but I remember someone posting that fixed their issue.

Yes. Charger and cables. tried like 4 different one including two samsung ones.. I also plugged it into the computer and it is not detected at all.
After my original post, I noticed that my cellular service wasn't working either. Cleaned up the old port with a good dose of rubbing alcohol and a soft toothbrush and put it back in. Charger still not working but the cell service is back.
The markings on both boards say GT-i9100 and rev2.2 but the original says R.B82 and the replacement says says R.B84. I doubt that means anything.
Any other ideas or testing to do? Luckily I ordered an external charger and extra battery so I am not dead in the water.
Just a quick update - I bought several other charging ports before I finally found one that works. The one that worked was on ebay from muchbuy-outlet. I emailed them prior to purchasing. They said it would work and it did. Here is the link will expire at some point...

Long story short, I took the battery out of my i777 and used my t989 as a temporary charger just to get some juice in there (to about 10 %) and switched it back to the i777 and the i777 charged it no problem after that. I think there could be an issue with the i777 firmware which doesnt charge a battery that has gone to complete dead.

It is because the usb port that we have on our phone is not that great. Before I got my port fixed by Samsung, it would not be able to charge an empty battery, but now it is fine. Although sometime when the battery get too hot, it just through the phone in a loop of charging just enough to boot then shut down again.
You need I9100 gt model Rev 2.3 to replace sgh i777 At&t usb flex cable.
I just changed mine. Mine was rev 2.3. I got mine ebay at the "Cellphone-Repair-Shop" Search for "usb flex cable i9100 gt" model. It has to be the Gt model and it has to be The rev 2.3. So ask your seller before you buy. I believe the cellphone repair shop only sells 2.3.
I did put the Non-GT model in first because I read several reviews that it would work if I bought it from a specific store. This turned out to be a misplacement of many reviews. I am returning that one tomorrow. The wrong one charged for a day. Then nothing... and it caused all kinds of reception problems. Pretty much made phone useless.
Now with the Gt model in, when I connect to computer (wouldn't work before) it reads in explorer that this is a i9100 gt model phone. I do believe it is the new usb port that causes this to be read as a Gt i9100 and not the warning screen caused by rooting.
I wonder if this will cause any problems when flashing roms or anything else like otg usb mounting.

Bud,
When I plug in my charger the charging circuit goes on and off. I have a tone that dings once (or makes a "BEDUP' sound) indicating the charger is charging and it sounds like a bell indicating that the charger circuit connects and disconnect even before the BEDUP sound can fully complete! LOL Well instead of just one 'bedup' sound it bedups then bedups again! and again etc. The actual indicator on the battery icon goes on then off in sync to the bedups. I suspect its the dock connector charging port but am not positive. I have two I777's; the second one charges fine with the same usb cable so the cable is ruled out. I also had trouble using ODIN and getting my drivers to load in windows "Intermittently", but only on the SUSPECT I777.
Sometimes I can get it to charge by holding the USB cable either pressed upward or downward but it I change pressure at all it will go out.
Were the actual metal strips on your dock connector worn out? That is what I am thinking my issue is. If so It will require another charging port.
After reading your post an reevaluating my issues I am even more sure it is the charging port, but would appreciate any input you may have about your experience!
Thanks for your input!

Hey, thanks for the info.
My i777 device has the same issue. But the item in the above link does not ship to my country.
So I checked on ebay for another S2 REV 2.3 usb flex cable and found this.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140959296482
But in the cable you have bought it says "R.CB4 28 GT-I9100 REV2.4" and on my selected cable it says "R.CA4 GT-I9100 REV2.4"
Is that a big difference or should I not worry about it?
Thanks!

Sorry I missed this but anyone having this issue should first try cleaning the port with a small brush (soft toothbrush or I used these: http://www.dentek.com/product/144/easy-brush-cleaners/) dipped in isopropyl alcohol. That may help (or not). If that doesn't solve the problem, you are going to need to swap out the charging port. -- Bud

But in the cable you have bought it says "R.CB4 28 GT-I9100 REV2.4" and on my selected cable it says "R.CA4 GT-I9100 REV2.4"
Is that a big difference or should I not worry about it?

It was hit or miss for me. I ended up buying tow before getting the 3rd to work. I finally emailed several sellers and bought one from a seller that told me it would work with the AT&T version and luckily it did. -- Bud
