Week-old samsung focus, 16GB Sandisk Class 2 (verified real sandisk). No problems prior to yesterday.
Phone goes into a restart loop when I plug in USB for charging, both directly to a wall charger as well as to the computer. About 20 seconds after I plug in the usb cable I get "goodbye", it restarts, and when the Windows Mobile screen flashes up instead of going to the lock screen it goes back to "goodbye" and restarts.
Any ideas before I blow out my lovingly-configured profile by removing the Sandisk?
Thanks!
Not really an idea or solution, but more info is usually better.
I experience something similar, On both the LG quantum i had, and my Samsung Focus. When i plug into the USB in my car it goes through a continuous cycle.
Seems as if it's charging, then car radio auto changes to aux,then phone makes sound as if you just plugged in, radio goes back to previous setting.then radio changes to aux again over and over.
Suspect it has to do with radio looking for a mass storage device, but when it doesn't find one why does it retry.
Follow-up
Well, I got antsy, yanked my SD card, and did a hard reset. Still no joy - plugging it into both wall and computer, via various USB cables, sets it in a restart loop.

Right my phone is acting up. Suddenly it says its charging while i'm out at the mall shopping, but worst part is, it is loosing power fast, like its somehow discharging. I tried charging it, but it wont work, it doesn't say it's charging when i plug it in, only after several reboots and pulling out battery. Another wierd thing, i power itself up whenever i plug in the battery. Sometimes it also recognizes the wall charger as an usb plug, and the usb charger doesnt really seem to work.
I have no clue to what is going on, and sorry for making another battery thread.
I had this problem just the other day. The phone had the charging icon when connected to nothing then suddenly launched the voice navigation app. I think the constant loading and apparent pressing of the home button (Even though it wasn't actually pressed) repeatedly drained the battery. To fix this I simply flashed my current rom and kernel again. I had previously been playing around with Signalboost which drained my battery so I concluded it had screwed up some system files as well. Re-flashing seems to have fixed my issues since.
Hard reset or flash a different rom.
If the problem persists then chances are that its a hardware or battery problem.

No need to reset or flash anything. Your USB port got dirty or you you bended the USB PCB (this also happens if you forced to plug USB cable upside down).

Read the thread and try to clean USB port.
I've had my Galaxy S2 for 4 months now and now have a problem. When I plug the phone in, whether to USB or to the charger, it takes it a bit to recognize the phone is plugged in and to start charging. When I plug it in to USB it will charge after a minute, but I can not connect my phone to be mass storage. Windows can't detect it at all. If I disconnect the usb cable, my phone still thinks it is connected, with the notification for USB connection staying in the notification bar. In addition to this, my phone gets excessively hot regularly. I always make sure there isn't a runaway app, but that doesn't seem to matter.
Any one have any ideas?
I found a thread that describes my problem here.

I think I have solved the problem. I somehow managed to bend the USB pcb connector. I bent it back up towards the screen and everything is acting normal again. Read the link above for more information
So this issue happened out of no where after my phone died to zero last night. I tried charging it back up but all I could get out of it was the grey charging battery but it would only stay on for 1-2 seconds shut down and reboot. Let it charging for an hour and got to about 1-2% and it would die as soon as it booted up. Factory restored to OA6 and still see the same issue. This is also the odd thing... I was able to connect it to my computer and use Oden to do the restore! After lots of troubleshooting, trying 4 chargers, I realized wireless charging still works fine. Charged it up 100% over night and wireless charging is still working fine and phone is working fine. Still cannot get USB to be recognized while on either by computer or from USB charger. With a full battery, phone off, and USB plugged in phone still flashes the grey battery icon and reboots constantly.
Only thing I can think of is I had it in my pocket after spin class for a little and moisture might have gotten in the port?
Any ideas what happened here?
Update: I ended up just buying the Nexus 6P since I'm about due for a new phone anyways.
Well just figured I would pass this along. Was bored before and looked at diagrams to fix the USB board and saw this little port in the back you can access really easy. Decided to open that up and press the connection down a little tighter (the USB board is separate from the main board). USB didn't work before doing this, then pressed it tighter plugged USB in again and it worked.
Hello XDA forums, i'm having a charging problem with my galaxy s5. No matter what i do, it does not charge properly.
When plugged to a wall charger, all the phone does is to show a gray battery icon with a bolt on it on the screen, which turns off in a few seconds and repeats this every some seconds. I have tried diffrent cables, chargers, tried connecting to diffrent pcs with all the combinations possible, all chargers work on diffrent devices, just not on my phone. I have inspected the charging port close up, everything looks just fine. The battery also looks fine physically, not inflated or looking weird in any ways. I had the phone charging for the whole last night, and in the morning when i powered it up, it showed only %6 power and within seconds powered off.
I want to try to format it, to see if the problem might be caused by software issues but i also want to save up some of the data in it, like contacts and some files, i don't have backups and loosing them would be horrible. is there any way to boot up the device connected to pc and take my datas from it? What should i do? what would you recommend?
The phone is sm-g900f 32gb, it was running on android 5.0.1 ofw rooted. When the phone is plugged in to the computer in download mode, the pc recognises it and device manager shows "SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" under USB controllers.
Thanks
Have had a stock Le Pro 3 since Dec 2016. No real issues prior to the last few days.
1. The device will only charge when powered ON. If powered OFF, the phone will vibrate once, the LED indicator will briefly come on, then turn off. Unplugging it and plugging it back it again does literally nothing--no vibration or LED indicator.
2. The device will not power on while plugged in. It will simply vibrate after a few seconds, then nothing.
3. The device will not connect to my PC for data. Have tried four different cables without success. It will charge from PC, however.
4. When connecting to USB and powered ON, the phone will vibrate and show the battery charging indicator, but will then hesitate slightly (battery charging indicator turns off), then shows the battery charging indicator again. Not sure if that means anything, just seems odd given everything else.
5. USB headphones do not detect/work.
6. The USB to 3.5mm adapter for headphones does work.
I've tried a factory reset to no success and have ordered a replacement USB C board just to be safe (it was $5 shipped), but am at a loss as to what to do. Tempted to let the battery drain completely and see if that puts everything into working order, but as it's my only phone, that seems a bit risky if I can't be sure it will ever start charging again while powered down.
Anyone here run into these sorts of issues before and any advice if you have?

A $5 board will not solve your problems. It will likely get you into deeper trouble because it doesn't support mtp and otg. It's only good for charging.
Your connector is probably damaged. You can try contact cleaner/lubricant on the connector. It may fix your issue. Something like this https://www.electrolube.com/products/contact-lubricants/eml/contact_cleaner_lubricants/
I use lubricant often on usb-c connectors even if they are working. Just extends the lifetime of connectors, the pins are really small after all so the contact surface is not much.
Replacing the usb-c board is not an easy task. You would need to remove the screen etc.
