Phone says battery is charging when it's NOT plugged in - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello,
I have a Samsung S2 PLUS GT-I9105P (4.4.2 stock) at the beginning it started by turning off whenever I plug it into power. I started buy doing what all I can find in the internet ( stick a needle on the hole, factory reset, changed battery). NOTHING worked.
Then, since it never been flashed I tried 2 costom roms then nothing, still the same problem....and after than, I bought a new connector but this time the problem changed. the phone keeps charging and discharging even if it's not plugged (all the time the charge symbole flashes).
The last thing I did is that I disconnected the port from the motherboard and still the symbol whenever I insert the battery... I started to think that it doesn't come from the connector.
Please any ideas? Thansk in advance

i9300 USB reconnecting problem

Hi Guys my name is Jody. I think this is my first post and would really appreciate some help.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300. I recently had a problem where my phone keeps disconnecting from the PC/Charger every second. It connects, then disconnects, connects, disconnects. I am not a fan of Kies and never used it. I know it is not a driver problem even thought I had tried a few and the fact that this happens with the original Samsung charger as well. I have also tried using a different USB cable. I tried using a different kernel, then different Roms(AOSP and Samsung base). I picked up that this problem happened after flashing to Ultirom and the problem has since stuck to the phone. I've done a cache wipe, factory defaults, all the usual tricks. All 4.1.2 roms I try do not work. I charge my phone with a blackberry charger (which has a lower amp rating) and phone charges fine without disconnecting. :crying:
The strange thing is that my phone works with the leaked samsung 4.2.2 XXUFME7 kernel version 3.0.31. mass storage works, charging works. I'm not sure what it can be. Phone works fine now but would like to go back to 4.1.2 for longer battery life, at the moment I get 8-9 hours tops. currently sitting at 61%charge with 5h 46min on battery.
Thanks
Jody

[Q] batery issue (software)

hello everyone,i have updated GT-I9205 to 4.4.2 (sprint) stock, the first week was pretty good, at the second week my phone suddenly shut down and wont turn back on the battery was about 35-40%, i tried to connect to wall charger but no sign of life also tried from computer the same again under device menager no device was being added, after a day of trying i was nervous and just keept pressing the power button for about 5 minutes and than it turned on and no problems till yesterday, as usual i have putted the phone to charge when i gone to sleep and when i woke up it was 33% and not charging, when i put the charger it says usb connector connected and wont charge, ive tried to go to download mode and maybe flash with an other stock firmware but wont be recognized, i also tried to wipe data/factory reset but no luck, so i thought it was a hardware failure while trying i've found out that when i am in download mode with usb cable connected and take out the battery the phone stays turned on, than realized that if i connect the usb cable while the phone is of and than go to recovery mode then reboot, when it boots it charges the battery but keeps no notification that its charging just the regular battery icon and if i take out the cable and put it back it says usb connector connected but wont charge , does anyone know what to do with this, is this a hardware issue (i know that if i change the motherboard it will be okay because of firmware) or is this a software issue(what im thinking it is), does anyone how can i change the firmware without odin and without being rooted, or is anyway to root 4.4.2 without odin than install an other firmware or what should i do (instead of killing myself hahahahah).
Sorry for my bad English and if i was not clear please let me know than i will record a video and post it here!
Thanks for your time.
Kind regards from Prishtina DB
its closed
thanks everyone who was here, it was a hardware problem I've fixed the connector on the phone now its working fine, so it has not being a software problem.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 wont open nor charge

I have a galaxy s3 and it doesn't charge nor open. This first happened last April 10, 2015. The situation was me trying to charge my phone and when i plug the charging port in the dock, it doesn't show any sign like a charging sign or any changes on the battery. I tried to shut the phone down and tried to charge but still there was no change. I searched for solutions to this problem and so I found this solution where you should Remove battery and press power button to drain the capacitors. I did the procedure and finally opened my phone! It also charges and it was somehow a big relief. The following night, i tried to charge my phone again and it wont open and i turned the phone off and tried to do the same procedure but there was no change until now. I still can't open it. Any ideas how?
Corrupt firmware or faulty lead, charger, battery, usb port, motherboard - try those ideas in that order.

[Q] Galaxy S2 wont charge, wont turn on but gets warm

My Galaxy S2 appeared to be working fine with no issues but during a charge one day, I noticed it had gone black and wouldn't turn on. I swapped out the battery and changed the charger (both taken from a different S2 that had no issues) and it didnt fix the issue.
The rundown:
Taking a different battery/charger that works with another S2 doesn't make any difference
Phone doesn't show the battery charger icon when plugged in
My PC doesn't recognise the phone when I plug it in via USB
The USB jig doesn't seem to help do anything
Tried removing the battery and keeping it out of the phone overnight, put it back in and still nothing
Tried removing the battery, plugging in the charger, waiting awhile, putting the battery back and straight away pressing power button - nothing
The only sign of life is that the phone gets warm around the camera area when left on charge.
Any ideas?

If this is still relevant (the OP posted 2 months ago)......
Phone won't power on, no charging icon when charger plugged in, recovery and download modes inaccessible, usb jig doesn't help, phone getting warm by the camera......I remember my time on the S2 forum, and these are all (when combined) a classic sign of a HARD BRICK.......
HARD brick = HARDware brick
SOFT brick = SOFTware brick
SOFT brick......usually recoverable
HARD brick......start using your phone as a paperweight......
Sorry mate, but unless you're prepared to spend out on a new motherboard, you ain't fixing it.....

Thanks Keith & all.. it was indeed a goner. An expert took a look at it and found that the cause of the issue was the EMMC chip where the data is stored. Unfortunately it is too tedious/complicated to replace due to how it is soldered to the board (requires specialised equipment etc) so it was a choice of replacing the entire board or bust. Just wasn't worth it for an older phone. I ended up buying a Xiaomi Mi4i to replace the S2 and have been pretty happy with it (save for a few software bugs now and then).

Android mobile only charging when switched off

Hello!
In advance: I've a "Cubot X9" Smartphone - but the error exists for many smartphones of nearly all brands when you Google. That is why I ask here, I hope, this is correct. Maybe someone has a solution...
As I said, I've a Cubot X9 Smartphone. Since the day before yesterday I have the problem, that it is not possible to charge the phone when it is powerd on. When I power the phone off and plug the charger in, the phone starts charging and the charging LED and Symbol on the Screen lights up.
When I switch it on, the charging immetiatly stops.
I verified the phenomenon with a USB amere meter: When the phone is switched off an I plug the charger in, the current goes up and the phone is really charging. When the phone is switched on and I plug the charger in, the current stays at 0.000A and the phone is really not charging!
I also tried charging in TWRP - there is no charging either.
Another problem is, that the phone is not recognised by the computer. No error message, nothing. It seems, as if the USB port is switched off completly!
I found out, that there are many many phone with this Problem (SGS3, Google Nexus, HTC, ...) but there is never a solution. The problem is always the same: Only charging when switched off and no Connection to the PC.
Do you have an idea?
I already tried to:
- clean the USB-Port from dust
- changing the cable and the charger - I tried about 10 different ones
- disconnecting the battery (I opened the phone for that)
- clean and whiped everything (Data, Cache, System, SD) - although in TWRP and in Android
- flashing a new OS (Cynogen 13 instead of Android 4.4.4 stock)
The Problem still exist! I already thought about changing the battery to a new one. But the phone still last longer than one day, there is no Change in running time...
Is it possible, that the USB-port is damaged? Maybe the Pins for + and - are ok and the phone is charging when powered off. And when it is powered on, the data Pins are also "checked" for a connection - and because they are defective, the connection is not recognised and the phone does not start to charge?
I really like the phone and don't want to buy a new one, because the cameras are masked for security reasons and it is really difficult to get a new one sealed...
Thanks a lot for your help!
