Last night at 12% I plugged in next to the bed with stock charger. The phone spazzed and started trying to open the desk dock. It was like plugging in and unplugging over and over again...fast. on top of that I've never used the desk dock so I don't think I triggered any settings.
I rebooted and changed outlets. Its still doing some strange things on the charger this morning. Plugging in, screen off the red charge light stays on for a sec then blinks off and repeats.
Not rooted.
Anyone got any ideas.

It could be your connecting pins in the phone. Did you try a different cable? If it wasn't the cable, then have you ever had to wiggle the phone around before the cable/dock connected?

Should've tried it already but ill switch cables and try again. I tried jiggling the cable. The connection to the phone doesn't seem as tight as the day out of the box that's for sure. Ill post back with findings.
Edit: upon further investigation I was too tired to realize that my daughters new puppy may be the culprit. Thought my awesome new phone had turrets for a sec, phew

Yup. That'd be your problem lol. But for future reference, try to line up the cable and the port and push it in once. When you can't put it in, you start wiggling it around which breaks the connecting pins. I've messed up a few phones like that lol.

My phone thinks the usb cable is connected when its not...and I think its a hardware problem. I was using AA i3 and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, it started happening. In the status bar it says usb connected, but when I pull it down it doesn't show the usb storage notification. I flashed stock ef02 and its still saying the same thing...wiped data, dalvik, cache, and still it does this. I'm thinking about taking it up to the sprint store...but before I do has anyone else had this problem with their epic? It works fine when I do plug in the usb cord. But its a major annoyance... it tries to charge when powered off! It shows the battery charging screen when powered off and not connected.
EDIT: fixed...something to do with the superuser beta 3. uninstalled, put superuser 2 back on and its fine
EDIT #2: Nope, doing it again. Now I have a screenshot

Same thing, same phone
It started happening to me like a few hours after I first rooted my epic 4g. Not sure why, and I didnt have any new ROMs on it yet, all I did was install ACS.Recovery CWM5 and the Impaled Keyboard Patch Fix, nothing else....so I thought I'd just go ahead and try my first ROM (ThePeoplesRom v.2) and that worked great, but again a few hours afterwards I just started getting the same USB connected issue. it flashes for a while, then it just stays on...any ideas anyone?
I had this happen to me from using older (i.e. - dirtier) cables and dropping it in the snow.... Try cleaning your usb port with some isopropyl alcohol or an eyeglass cleaning wipe. Had to do it a couple of times, and used a paper clip to get it in there, so needless to say (yet here I am saying it) I was extremely careful, as I didn't want to scratch the circuits in the plug.
Did you get it wet or dirty somehow? Dropping mine in the snow didn't help....
So my power connector has a problem. I can't get it to reliably connect. Just a little jostling causes it to loose connection. If this happens while I sleep, the power drains completely and my alarm doesn't go off.
Any idea how to fix this?
I'm pretty sure the issue is not with my wires because I've tried several - and tried the wires on several devices and they work fine.

It's the piece of (excuse my French)..........sh*t USB port on the phone. Mine has come loose too. Just got my warranty replacement and it freezes and the colors are off (like the whites are actually a light yellow.....wasn't like that on my old phone)
very true, you can attempt to clean out the usb port on your phone in hopes this will fix your issue. otherwise get ready to spend $5-10 on ebay and pick up a new port, of course you will have to solder this in so yeah, its a fun job
Mine has been this way since the day I got it. I actually just bought some Samsung micro-USB cables off Amazon that have a solid fit inside the phone, wonderful cables! Can't beat the price of them either.

The outcome was a little disappointing
So after 1 month of waiting, I received the flex cable+ usb connector + circuit board (all in one).
Disassemble/Reassemble.
* Phone still says (when plugged in): charging. But battery% goes slowly down. *
For months, the phone have been having problem with charging (or says charging but the battery doesn't really get charged).
Charging while phone off, charging with different chargers, charging with USB, charging with wall AC, charging with different batteries, charging after reset battery status, charging after CM10.1, charging after CM7.
Nothing works. Only putting batteries in an external charger works of course.
All hope for an internal charging was lost.
PS: As before, USB files transfer is fine, before and after repair.
I think there's a problem in the hardware
not in the software

that is a mainboard issue. i had the same one about an year ago. i've sent the phone to samsung bulgaria for service, they said it's the mainboard of the phone. they've replaced it, saved me 80$ for a new one, and the phone has been working like a charm for over an year. if your phone is still under warranty, restore its original firmware, remove any traces of root and send it for service. if you restore to its original firm and you get a charging paused. voltage too high notification then it's deffinetly a MB issue

Check the port for dirt or lint. Use a sewing needle to clean it. It should be nearly silver inside, at the bottom. These ports are noted to pick up daily trash get packed in. Back in your hot sweaty pocket. And packed again. Seems to be a good cheap place to start and a noted fix for a lot of people across a lot of type c devices.

I already changed the charge connector twice, already changed the firmware nothing solves this problem.
Bought this phone as a secondary phone 8 month ago,,
And the USB Port has loosen up...
I bought the phone unofficially so no official service will offer service for me,
Can't I just change the USB C port to a new one?
All the available USB Logic board here are without the fast charging IC
I had this phone and swapped THREE charging boards. It keeps having the same issue and nothing will work. Tried different chargers too. I think this is just a flaw in the design of charging board. I unfortunately had to recycle the device.

The replacement charging board I received was different from the original.
And this is how I charged phone overnight for the contact with the board to keep charging the phone, otherwise it wouldn't charge at all even if the cable was jammed all the way in.

The available charging board here isn't good quality by looking,
I didn't opened the phone yet and I guess it's the USB female socket's issue, will changing this help a bit?
