It has been an year since I am facing the issue of moisture detected. There is no moisture inside the port. This issue occurred last year and is still here. The only temporary solution I found was to turn off device and plug the charge in 3 to 4 time and it starts charging its an temporary fix and I have to turn device off each time. Also due to this issue the device sometimes stop fast charging. I wanted to ask that will installing a custom rom (stock android instead of samsung rom) will fix issue (will this stop the moisture issue). Or is there any other way to fix it using root or without root. The guides on net about cleaning port or changing charger didnt work.

I am using orignal charger & cable also tried a different charger and cable. Its been an year since it started. For me I think the sensor is faulty. Also the charging changes to cable charging after connecting charger , same with all the chargers I tried.
Make sure the port is spotless; debris in the jack port can cause this. A toothbrush and a little anhydrous isopropyl alcohol can be used to gently clean it. Allow to dry completely.
Then clear the system cache.
Maybe a charger port PCB failure, a guess.

Hardware. Likely a mobo failure.
Check for cracked solder joints in the power section.

No idea. So you can flash it? WTF?
That means most of the mobo if not all is working.
No beep when you connect charger?
Display failure?
Port pcb failure? This little bugger can do some bizarre things on the 10+ if it fails or is the wrong one, so I learned.
Unfortunately I have no clue how to decisively troubleshoot this.
Hopefully someone here does.
My problem is solve no moisture deduct i change cable and factor reset now problem not there. When this proble happened my phone not charge faster charge sometimes so i use stock cable then fast charging show issue withe the cable now 1month there is no problem try and tell me guys.

For me factory resetting or changing charger and cable didn't worked. Still getting moisture detected but if i connect it when powered off after 2 or 3 tries it starts cable charging. But after unplugging charger and reconnecting after a little time it again shows the error.

Is it possible the phone has water internally?
Get some anhydrous isopropyl and carefully clean the c port contacts. An old toothbrush works if the bristles are long enough.
Allow to completely dry.
It may have a bad c port pcb or mobo if this persists... a guess on my part.

If you have root access.
There are members here that know the files you're looking for.
I'm wondering if replacing the charging port PCB would fix this. It's possible that corrosion from previous moisture exposure caused corrosion that left conductive pathways that are causing the error. Or the PCB failed.
These boards tend to be cheap, just get the right version for your variant. If the battery needs replacing then be a good time.

HI guys,
i have 2 problems from 3 days:
i have a problem with my SG2 when i disconnect the charge cable my phone continually stay in charge and every 10-15 second say me charging paused voltage too high.
second problem is USB , when i connect my phone to my computer it does not recognize it .
3 days ago all work perfectly now i try to restore stock firmare, full wipe but the problem persists anyone can help me? thanks
Sounds like the USB circuitry issue we see a fair bit of on here. Given you've already done a wipe & gone back to stock & you're still seeing the problem, I'd say it's a repair job.
Edit to add - You could try gently cleaning the USB port with an new/unused toothbrush before you do send it in for servicing.
maybe is hardware problem i dont know But the problem is in the same spot may be the cable entry which is damaged
Yep it could be the socket itself is damaged rather than the board. I guess they only way you'll know (assuming cleaning it doesn't work; which it probably won't) is if you have a mobile tech take a look at it.
The cable itself can become worn on the pins from multiple flashing and removal of usb cable .
jje
so before 2 days my phone was perfectly fine
and now when i charge my phone, it's charging normaly.
and when i plug off the charger from the phone, my phone keeps charging itself.
and i feel like it's draining my battery faster.
is there any solution for it?
Got the same problem since the same day.
Phone rarely able to connect to the PC. Battery indicator keeps blinking (in samsung rom) or showing as if it is charged (in CM9). Phone can't be turn off. Usb keeps disconnecting, making me afraid if something goes wrong when I flash anything with odin PC.
I use speedmod kernel (apollo, actually) and the battery doesn't drain. But still it acts as if it is charged when I turn off the phone.

Had the same problem last summer, I think it's a common fault on the i9100.
Some have been able to fix it by cleaning the usb port, or by gently bending the little piece in there.
That didn't work for me though, had to send it in for repair. They switched the motherboard and usb port.
so my only way to fix it is by sending the phone to repair ?

So you can try cleaning the port on the phone first. Try first with a dry clean toothbrush. If that doesn't work, take out the battery and try cleaning the port with a q-tip and a (little!) bit of isopropyl alcohol. Then let it dry before putting the battery back in. If THAT doesn't work, then you'll need to get the port replaced. You could do it yourself, (I've heard the part costs around $15) or your last option is to send it in for repair.
I wouldn't recommend bending or otherwise moving the little wafer inside the port, however.
I notice that it will continue for a few %, maybe 2-3. It's because the battery gets warn when charging and still continues to until it has cooled down enough. But I don't notice any difference in drain time on mine.

My Samsung Galaxy S2 has this problem.
A: I doesn't register the charge in the socket unless I wiggle it around or put pressure on a certain area. It's sensitive and it takes me a while to make it 'stick'.
b: It only charges to about 30% and then it stops charging.
I have tried numerous chargers and usb cables and always the same issue. I have replaced the battery and its the same problem.
Any help? I bought this damn thing on ebay a few weeks ago so I don't really know its history. The seller refuses to refund and I've opened a case.
Anyway that will all take a long time.
Any idea what the problem is and how to fix it?

Try Charging the battery externally using a battery charger, and not from inside the phone....I suppose it should get charged 100%...
If not then its battery problem...
If it does get charged then there might be a problem in the port or connection to the battery via inside the phone...get it checked at a samsung customer care...If you have warranty you might get it fixed for free...
I don't think there should be any problem with your kernel etc..
Press Thanx If I helped..
Try cleaning the micro USB port with a toothbrush or something similar
This type of issue is not weird and has been discussed on forum plenty of times.
Clean the battery contacts on battery and pins on device with alcohol (cleaning alcohol). If that doesnt work and you have changed charger/battery then your hardware is faulty so nobody here can help.

I have found the Xperia Z2 to be an extremely slippery phone and it dropped to the floor quite a few times already, but the last fall seems to have finally damaged it. Now, when I connect it through USB to either a PC or power outlet, it will no longer charge. I can exchange data with my PC, view the external storage etc. just fine, but the charging icon will keep appearing and disappearing irregularly, about once per second. Meanwhile the battery gets drained instead of charged.
I now charge my phone through the magnetic port one the side of the phone, which is working fine. I would like, however, to know if there is a way to repair the USB port of my phone.
Many thanks

Seems like hard to repair. You would need to disassemble the whole device. I'd suggest you send the phone for warranty repair. Just do not mention you let it fall

Look into the Z2 disassembling videos, but I guess you should bring the device into a professional phones repair service.
@MrTheMan I think I know what bricked your USB port. The damage wasn't from the fall, you just connected the Magnetic charging cable upside down... Didn't you?
If you keep tightly in some points, dies it charge then? If not and still charges intermediate then there are two things. Either one of the lines if the port is damaged or the battery is of center. Remove and reconnect. First clean it's contacts with.a brush and pure alcohol. Do the same on the port.
Mine does the opposite, USB is fine(as long as I disconnect at 100% and don't charge with MHL adapter) but magnetic has the issue.

If I remember correctly there is one diode on the PCB that get's damaged :/
I have the same problem, due to magnetic charger..
Surely this is covered by warranty? I'm still under warranty so I will try to get a replacement.

Oh, I search some info. The diode just allow electric current pass one direction only. No wonder my XZ2 keep restart after I pressed shutdown because the diode allow the electric current from battery can pass through in opppsite way.
I don't believe it is a hardware problem. You dropped the phone but the USB port is not likely to be physically damaged by a knock. I had the same problem, on a Z2 provided by my company. I have requested a change, got a new one and in a few days the second handset had the same issue too. Two phones, both new, both never dropped, used with maximum care, both with the same problem. The second one wasn't even charged more than a couple of times before failure. And I had tried it as soon as I had it in my hands, just to be sure it worked, and it did, at first. I connected it to a laptop thru USB port (3.0) and it charged. Then updated apps and system to Lollipop, connected it again and it failed. In a couple of days. I'm sure nothing physical happened, unless my USB port fried it. Notice however, that data connection is working perfectly and everything else I connecrt to that port works as well.
I have some mag chargers too, and I don't believe I've ever connected them upside down. The plug is made in such a way the it does not connect if reversed, having one contact circular shape and the other elliptical.
I checked on the Web and there is a number of Z2 owners complaining for the same issue: there's even a video on Youtube showing this exact behavior. Sony seems to ignore it.
I must admit, however, that I'm unable to explain why a factory reset does not solve the problem. Now I'm trying to flash a stock ROM (mine is branded Telecom Italia) and see what happens.

Did you repaired your device. Please relpy this
Phone 2 years.
1. Charged through the USB port on the network 220 (native charger):
It reaches 81-83% of charge and starts to go crazy: flashing red LED charging and says that is / is not going to charge.
In fact, no charges.
I tried different cords and chargers - so everywhere is going crazy with a 80% interest
2. Charged via USB from the cigarette lighter in your car or the external battery:
It's okay - safely charged up to 100%
3. Charged through the magnetic cable:
It's okay - safely charged up to 100%
These are symptoms of what is dying?
Thank you!
Hi All,
I recently purchased a Magnetic Charging cable for my Xperia ZU, but the moment I connect it through either Laptop or original sony charger, the phone re-boots. It does charge the phone, but at some particular orientation of magnetic side connection, phone resets.
Anyone else having same issue ? Any solution ?
Thanks

I've read it somewhere that charging the phone the upside down could brick the phone.. reset was the symptom. I have sony magnetic charger and it will not allow me to plug in the other side around. The most i get is the touch screen is not that sensitive after plugging the charger and it will refresh my current running app/game. Been using it ever since i got my device and so far no problem.

Thanks @wtfhax for your reply.
I think it was reverse connection which made phone reset. As I read in the links sent by you, magnetic charging cable is not a good solution then, since it can damage battery. I'll avoid charging with this cable now onwards and will stick with USB charging.
But, I think, this is a bad design from Sony. There should have been a protection in-built for reverse connection as well.
Coz the charging port are never meant for non genuine magnetic cable...
Just be careful if u still wanna use it by marking TOP on it...
Reverse polarity might cause the circuit to malfunction...
Cheer
hello
its supposed to do that m8 connect the magnetic chargers the wrong way round the the phone instantly resboots
to add..
Faced the same issue myself.
To add to this, ever since I have used the magnetic charging cable, my screen flickers - dims at times, phone doesnt respond and wat not. Thinking to reset factory or root it out.
Guys, would CYnaogenmod help?

there is if you look at the contacts on your phone you'll see the contact on the right is more oval and the cheapo charger cables don't have the facility to detect the difference.
