My Focus all of sudden started continuously playing the notification sound that is played when we connect the charger. Even after restart its still there. I took out the battery and when booted the phone started playin the charger connected notification sound.
Same Here
I have the same problem. Called Samsung and trouble shot the problem with no success. Called AT&T Warranty Support Technical Service and spent a half hour with no success. Was told by AT&T TS:
. Known MS WP7 issue
. MS is working on it
. Will be fixed in upcoming update
. Probably caused by a virus while web browsing (laughed at that one)
. They have seen many complaints about this issue
One guy on YouTube actually had his mini USB plug and connector melt. This issue also does not let your screen shut off. I found that you need to experiment with the unplug sequence when unplugging from PC and charger. Mine does it rarely anymore, if I can remember how I did this I will post.
Theres a hack in the registry that will lower the sound , Im sure you might be able to turn it off from there as well

I also have this problem. I tried replacing the battery, soft & hard resetting. nothing changed. I have tried multiple ways to disconnect and connect the phone to the charger and that doesn't do the trick also. the battery charging indication and beep are constantly playing, so the screen cannot be locked and the battery drains.
After doing a soft reset the phone doesn't stay off, it inmediately comes back on again. The same happens when I remove the batt. The only way for it to stay off is if I remove the battery and wait a while, like a minute and something. I reinsert the battery and the phone stays off.
I looked in MSFT forums and all over the internet and the amount of information is quite limited. No solution has been posted (at least none that I have found).
Also, I cannot exchange the phone 'cause I bought it unlocked over the Internet.
If anyone has any info I am sure that all the affected people will really appreciate it.
Oh. Good to know that I am not alone on this issue. I had searched the net and didnt see anyone with this issue.. I hope this gets solved in the coming update. Cause my Focus all of a sudden at anytime starts doing this. Its embarrassing when this happens in the elevator and public places and especially when you are the only one in ur friends havin a WP7 and others a Android or iPhone.
It so wierd that for any issue the TechSupport people say that 'this issue will be solved in the update'.. I hope it does!!
Hey found this forum while searching for people with this problem - so hey.
My phone (which I bought on eBay) started doing this a couple of nights ago, I eventually got to stop by doing the following (think I read this elsewhere on the net, but don't recall where):
Plug phone into charger (and charger into wall socket).
Unplug the charger from the wall socket.
Unplug the charger from the phone
Plug the charger back into the phone and out again.
Amazingly that worked for me and 3 days later I'm still ok. I've no idea if I just got lucky, or whether that sequence actually does something. Be interested to hear from others.
This thread on MS Answers is also worth a read:

HTH.
Hardware issue, not software
Hi all, according to an ATT rep "this is caused by a manufacturing problem where the micro-usb power/sync connector is not always reliably soldered to the PCB". I tend to believe this because none of the software solutions seem to work (rebooting, putting it back to the previous version, etc).
Go to the ATT support forum and seach Samsung. There are a few threads about this issue. I was trying to post the links but I guess since I'm new here, they dont let me.
if it is a hardware defect (which it does seem to be) i'd contact samsung and they should have you send it in for repair/replacement regardless of if you bought it from ebay or CL or whatever, all the phones should still be under 1 year old, and as such, under warranty.
mine did the same thing i had it in my front pocket and it started to rain kinda got the top a little wet... and had the charging port open.... it started dong the charging sound after about an hour.... everthing i did didn;t work.... come to find out i had a piece of lint in the charging port and when it got wet i shorted out...... got the lint out and has been fine.... been three months now and still working great....
It definately has to do with the USB port shorting, i read somewhere that separating the flap inside the micro USB from the wall, it seems if some kind of debris inside the port can short, or also the flap seems to bend if you plug the cable the wrong way.
In mi case it seems the flap was bent, what i did was carefully separate the little flap from the wall, and it worked, the first time it did not work, but i inserted an old simcard in there and left it for a couple hours, it seems it was enough to fix this
PS. Sorry for my bad english
Ok, I'll try to make this short and sweet and we'll see what happens. I spent the last 2 hours scouring this forum (pretty much the Bible for the HD2) and some other places and I'm still kinda dead in the water.
Here's the situation:
I just grabbed a used HD2 in excellent cosmetic shape. It was from a pawn shop, for $100 cash, and the device would power up at the pawn shop into Windows Mobile 6.5 just long enough to see Sense starting to load, then the battery would complain (probably hadn't had a proper charge in a long time I'm suspecting), then it would go into the "Goodbye!" routine.
Fair enough. So I get it home, and they included the HD2 USB adapter/charger, and I have my own 100% working microUSB cable. I verified the charger works by attaching it to my microUSB cable and then plugging it into my current phone (a cheapy LG 900g on NET10) and it works fine, no issues for power or data connectivity.
So I unplug the cable from the LG, plug it into the HD2, and attach it to my Belkin USB hub (powered, with nothing else attached to it, no other USB devices) and after a few seconds I get the orange charging light on the HD2. Note, it's still off, I didn't turn it back on after it shut itself off. So I let it charge for a few minutes, then I realize I should probably be better off using the actual dedicated HD2 charger, so I unplug the USB end from the USB hub, the orange light obviously goes out since it's now without that source of juice, then plug it into the HTC USB charger and...
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. No orange charging light, no response when trying to power the HD2 up, absolutely nada. So now I'm frustrated. I disconnect the USB cable from the HD2, take off the back cover, remove the battery, wait about 1 minute, reinsert the battery (leaving the back cover off), attempt to power it up, no luck.
Plug the charger back in, and I can feel]/i] the tiny vibration motor just kinda "tick" ever few seconds; there's something going on in there, I'm certain. Repeat the unplug/remove battery/wait a minute/put it back together/plug it back in a few times, and then I get something:
The HD2 will vibrate and the screen will light up with the "Stick Together" graphic, for about 1/2 second. Then it's off again. Then it's on again, and off, and on, and off. It's a loop of some kind, but it's random. Sometimes the on/off happens every few seconds, sometimes it's 10, 15, 30, sometimes a full minute goes by before it'll "flash" then nothing again.
Now, the whole time this occurs, the orange charging light never ever comes back on again - it has not come on again regardless of whether I'm plugged into the USB hub or the HTC charger, it just doesn't light up anymore, so my current suspicion is that the battery itself is simply so "dead" it won't accept a charge of any kind - at least that's my current hope, as odd as that sounds. I can get a new battery, of course, it'll just take a few days to get one (ain't paying full price here in Vegas, will order something online).
I'm stumped. I check the contacts, they're fine, they were very very slightly bent but they're ok now. I don't know what else to do since it does seem like the battery could be the culprit. It'll sit here and just flash every so often - it's been plugged into the HTC charger for the past 30 minutes straight but, I'm not even seeing the flashes anymore (the past few minutes I've been typing this post).
Maybe the battery is to blame, I don't know, but I'm hoping that someone can say "Yes, that sounds like a completely toasted battery to me, get a new one" or whatever.
Any opinions? Anyone seen this particular behavior before? I do a search for "reboot loop" and what I find are people with HD2's that get stuck at the "Stick Together" screen and, well, that's not what's happening here - it shows that, for a 1/2 to 1 second on occasion, then nothing. The vibration motor kicks in when the flashes occur, as well.
It's like it wants to fire up but just doesn't have the power to do it - and since the charging circuit isn't kicking in (no orange light), well... that's my guess.
That's about it. If anyone has any advice, I'm reading.
Thanks, and have fun, always...

Do you know what short means? p joking, just next time don't make it too long)
You won't get replies if your question is too long, because they won't bother reading it .
Anyway, back to topic.
Your battery has no juice, and for some reason the HD2 automatically boots when (no juice in battery and plugged into charger) .. you need to unplug cable, remove battery, plug in cable, wait for a minute or so, insert battery .
Firstly try the above which should stop the phone trying to start,, but two other things, firstly the battery pins bend real easily, so since you've been doing a few battery pulls, keep checking them. Second, a really REALLY discharged battery may have so little juice it wont start charging , in which case you can try the 'bare wire USB Lead charging method, where you get an old mini /micro USB lead, cut end off, bare red and black ,red to + black to - on the battery, into wall charger for around a minute, back into phone, real USB lead in, and hopefully it now has enough chrge to start booting and charging properly.
Turned out to be the battery itself - went back to the pawn shop, took the battery from the one I purchased and placed it into a known working HD2 still on the shelf (another as-is item) and attached the microUSB cable and charger, no dice: same exact issue.
Took the battery from the second HD2, put it into my HD2 that I purchased, attached the microUSB cable and charger, wham bam we're cookin' with fire now.
So I paid the guy $10 to let me swap the batteries and keep it hush-hush (I'm in there all the time buying used busted stuff anyway), came home, gave it a full night's charge and so far so good. Got NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.0 NAND by tytung on it in about 10 minutes, and it's smooth as silk so far.
I appreciate the responses, thanks.
Oh my goodnees. Today my phone got possessed by Car Mode.
Car mode keeps popping up and forcibly freezing any app I'm in. First noticed it when I had my phone plugged into my computer and it suddenly exited without ant warning.
Since then its just gone crazy... almost to the point of unusability. I unplug the phone and it still thinks its in charge mode!!
Every few minutes it starts beeping madly with the Car Mode randomly appearing and dissapearing in the status bar... Its bloody possessed!!!
After flashing various roms and nand backups.. its definately not a software problem as its still persisting.
Did some research on the topic and apparently its due to the usb connection. The note goes into car mode if the usb connector ports are maybe blocked with dust. Tried cleaning them with compressed air... but to no avail... the phone is still possessed.... obvioslt the connector ports are malfunctioning.
Looks like its unrooting, back to stock and returning for a new one. Luckily I only had it for less than a month, so should be no trouble in getting a replacement.
Anyone else had this issue??

I have few friends with samsungs , first time I saw the problem, With an Infuse 4g, bought off ebay, it did the same thing exactly but with usb connection, but when we flashed 2.3 over 2.2 it stopped, but the battery died in 8 hours no use.
Second my friends gt i5800 galaxy has the same problem too.
I didnt know this is such a big flaw for samsung devices, till now.
Mine sometimes think it is charging though nothing is connected to the USB port. And othertimes when I connect charger it is not recognised until removing it several times. So something is fishy with the USB port
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Well... After reading a lot on the issue..apparently this can be caused from dirt in the usb connector. If dirt gets caught between certain pins in the usb connector .. the phone defaults to thinking it in dock mode. Cleaning it out with compressed air should help... but it didnt on mine.
Another one is dampness on the usb connector.
My phone was in and out of car dock mode and normal mode every 10 seconds and telling me it wasnt charging when plugged into charger and telling me it was charging when not attatched.
When turning off.. it wouldnt turn off ... but just reboot. Then it would turn off for half an hour and suddenly reboot to start the process all over again. Totallty full on possession.
Flashed a stock rom.. but couldnt bring myself to unroot.. lol.
So went to work and left the phone with the battery out for a few hours.
Came home , ready to flash total stock through Odin and loose root in order to take it back to be repaired.
Popped in the battery and.. presto... everything back to normal. Its been exorcised I hope.
I have a feeling that all this might have happened after I forgot to turn off usb storage on the phone before disconnecting from the computer... but not sure.
Anyway. lets hope its ok.
What you waiting for man, take that phone back and replace it!
No, this bug is known in galaxy community. I had this too and things like not able turn power off only rebooting with galaxy s2 and its now on miui ROM and no issues anymore.
I don't remember what I did to solve it.maybe flashing stock again.
But there're threads about it in S2 forum.
now my note is beginning having this issues too. It just not turning off, only rebooting itself.
I will watch progress.
Extremely common issue on the Galaxy S2, caused by a malfunctioning USB port.
I had the same issue as well. Galaxy note India less than 15 days old. Not rooted yet.
I saw on a forum to try
1. Unplug the USB cable
2.On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284# Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode. The correct mode should be PDA. Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.
3.Plug the USB cable.

This worked so far. One day and counting and no further glitches yet.
Galaxy note possessed
Definatly malfunctioning usb port mines doing the same,the real reason is the phone has been subjected to moisture from somewhere.When plugged in to pc just charges but worse mtp connected shows up in notifications even when not plugged in.After a nights charging when I unplug it still shows charging and battery drain is worse than usual.The problem is I cant unroot because its not showing on pc so cant return the phone.Took the phone apart to have look no sign of water damage but they will check under a microscope and will sure see something.Galaxy s2 usb port can be purchased cheaply but haven't seen one for Note hopefully won't be long,post if you can find one.
Thanks
I am now experiencing the same bug with my Note. I think my only option if cleaning the USB port fails is mailing it back to Handtec in the UK. Dammit. This might be my last experiment with grey-market phones. I am usually not afraid of a <90 day failure with Samsung as they make a good product, but this is ridiculous.

I am in the same boat, this is my first grey market and will be my last, it's too bad the US get shaft by carriers.
Mind started freaking out last week, out of no where the driving mode just keeps popping up, and it wasn't plug into anything. Now the charging port is totally dead, so I've been swapping out batteries from external charger, what a pain in the arsh.
when I first received the phone, the setup screen was in German, so I'm guessing that's where my phone came from, shot an email out to their mobile division this morning, hopefully I can send it in and get it repair.

I am having the same issues. I have sent it back to my carrier in dominican republic they are just holding on to my phone and doing nothing to fix it. I have a feeling I will get shafted in the end.
The good news is that the usb port circuit module is being sold now from china.

mine charges from charger sent by samsung but does not charge with 3 htc chargers used for my old htc desire. neither does it charge with car charger i used to use for my htc desire.
also keeps crashing within minutes everytime i load sd card it does this non stop, tw crashes and reboots all the times. works fine when sd card is removed or even if still in phone but unloaded from settings. wondering if similar issue. trying deleting various apps but looks like no difference. guess will send back and ask for a refund if cant find a solution soon. too costly a phone to accept not being able to use any sd card in the phone.

looks like problem sorted (for now!). initially problem seemed sorted after firmware update but then 2 days later back to square one.
anyway yesterday after umoteen attempts at deleting and reloading apps all of which failed to sort the problem, i later took a new 32gb sandisk (got a stock of 4 of them apart from a few other capacities, got them cheap for about 17£ each at a recent play.com sale) and used in the note without issues but had to reload all apps. did crash once or twice in last 24h but working fine otherwise. TW occassionally does get shut down by system and have to wait a sec or two for home screen to get populated with apps/widgets. if i hadnt liked the phone would have sent it for a refund long back. but this will do till the note2 comes along, guess nothing else will do after this one!
btw the old 32gb microsd card still works fine in other devices, so dont know what the problem was with the note and the microsd card
Unlike my Sammy Tab S, which I use xda to help root and run custom roms and the like.. I have been pure Nexus 6P with Google fi from the start.
So when I had a battery drain issue.. both in cold weather and in heat.. but many months apart, and saw others worried about it, I got a replacement from Google. I do pay the $5 insurance each month in my Google fi plan.
But now this was different. I had recently sent and received texts with my phone by my side on a charging stand. And I hear a sound like a notification sound.. not sure what it was exactly, but I pick up my phone to check it and it is black. I try to swipe.. nothing. I touch the power button.. nothing.
Now I am worried.
I take the case off. Jam my thumb down on that power button until I think I might bleed.. nothing.
I quickly look up the power-reset sequence.. power+voldown... hold it nothing. Try every conceivable combination.. holding for 20 seconds.. nothing.
Normally I might come here looking for help. But I am afraid this is beyond help. Google is sending a replacement.. after I did the try this - try that dance with them. Finding my original USB-C cable for example.
Man.. I don't know if this is a common problem.. or will become one because of some recent update. But I am set to re-setup my phone.. AGAIN... with a new replacement. And I am wondering what my options are going forward.. Google fi means some kind of compatible device.. so.. what.. get a Pixel? Leave fi and get a new Samsung somethingorother? I hate their interface.. love the camera.
So.. this thread is juts a "me too" for some future 6P owner this happens to.
[UPDATE] the thing came back to life!
I swear I tried different USB cables and different ports.. a PC, 2 different USB chargers.. and I got nothing.
Just now, an hour or more later, I tried the cable and charger it was using when it "bricked" and I saw a small red light in the top left corner for a second.. and the dang phone began charging. It showed 3% battery.
So, maybe, what happened was I did not have the cable plugged in correctly.. or maybe it had another mysterious fast drain. The power graph for those is quite ugly.. from 60% or more to nothing! That's why I sent the first one back.
In any case, I am going to now see if this will charge up and be "normal" for me again. I have cancelled the replacement phone order. .. who wants to reinstall all their apps and such if they can avoid it?
I am still very curious as to how nothing I did had any affect... but now it just works. There's something funny going on here. Its not like I was taxing my phone and it got hot or anything.. it was cool to the touch when I got it out of the case. Something is not right about these phones.

Hey... If your device shut down with 60% left you might be victim of the same problem Q's other users I this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/nexus-6p-randomly-shutting-50-youre-t3522911
Unfortunately, it's a common issue with no real solution except a warranty or battery replacement...
Good luck...
I had the same problem, it solved itself in a couple of hours, I was to send it to assistance but it booted up randomly trying after 2-3 hours of rest
So yesterday my phone started freaking out. It started flashing the usb notification and sound as if I was plugging in the phone and unplugging it rapidly, even thought I was plugging nothing in. To see what happen if I actually did plug something in I tied pluggin in the power adaptor and I got the "Moisture In USB Port" warning. My phone has not come into contact with any moisture, and even it somehow had it has been nearly 24 hours and I still get the warning when I try to plug it in. The rapid usb notification happened once again this morning but hasn't happened again since. What is going on? I can't charge my phone unless I turn it off.
I just started getting the same message. No moisture at all.

Same situation here. I tried to put G6 in a rice over night, without help.
Also I put my device on a coffee machine several hours to get rid of "phantom moisture", without any results at all. I think it's now software related problem.
By the way i can't charge my battery over 50%, to charge it until 50% I need to restart device with attached USB. By the way notification with vibration effect every second is freaking me out.
If someone find any solution please share...

I took my phone to spain and it had loads of sand on it by the beach. I couldn't charge due to the moisture warning for 3 days. Eventually i found a solution. I loaded that sink with about 2/3rds water. I swilled only the port area in the sink. I then dried the phone as well as possible. I screwed a thin tissue paper up and dabbed round the port. I then found a rectangle piece of card (it was a clothes price tag) it was probably 1 millimetre thick and i pushed it in deep into the usb port to aid cleaning using the corners of the tag. It solved the issue and didnt break anything and cleaned out some of the deep sand and cotton that wasnt drying at 30 celicus heat this week. Saved me claiming on my insurance and the headache of installing all my apps etc. Try it, but be very careful with the card tag as you dont want to break any terminals in the usb slot.
I had the same issue as the original poster about a month ago. I have spent the last few weeks testing and found that for me changing developer settings back to "charging" from "file transfer" has worked. Not saying it will work for you but give it a try!
Having the same issue now. No reason to think much moisture got in. Sat it in rice, etc. Haven't tried washing the port. Anyway, I can charge if I turn on airplane mode then boot into safe mode holding volume down plus power. The moment I plug in, it powers on unless the battery is totally dead. And it never charges close to full even then without the above workaround. Planning on taking the phone in. It's annoying, and my battery life seems shorter with the constant almost-notifications (which started out looking like they came from a variety of apps). Hopefully there's an official solution.
i restarted the phone and it worked
I posted about this a while back and couldnt figure it out so i exchanged for a new one
I would say various kinds of debris could get in the charging port and have enough conductivity to be detected as water. I always hated USB port covers, but at least they prevent this problem.
Fix for moisture detected
The contacts in the usb c are loose and may be cross connecting. I fixed mine by taking the charge cable type c end and squeezing them lightly with needle nosed pliers so the flat sides were BARELY concave. This fixed the problem and I am able to use the original cable to fast charge again.

This kinda sorta is working for me. I can slowly move an unplugged USB cable in the port and trigger the notification pop up. As opposed to constantly this now happens intermittently. It started after getting my phone wet. 1 bowl of rice later and the moisture error is gone, but the USB debugging notification appears and disappears rapidly every so often.
Moisture issue, nothing is working?
Reboot with it already plugged in does not help. My phone will NOT stay off now? Every time I select "power off" it restarts as soon as I plug it in. I have no clue what to try now. Seeing if draining my battery will help. Light moisture contact days ago but nothing more than droplets.
For those who're still having issues, the following worked for me:
1. Power off the phone and then power it back on. (This alone should help but if you have power savings mode enabled, carry out step #2)
2. If you have power savings enabled, turn it off and then power the phone off and back on.
I've got the same message after swimming with G6, I've tried to toggle the usb connection port and try to charge it while off / shutdown.. And it works
I've had the same problem. Moisture warning while it's not the case. Lated 3 days and suddenly it was gone. Phone restarted also when trying to charge with power off. Sometimes after couple of restarts it would load. And connecting the cable very shortly helped also someone. It seems to me that it is a bug in the devices because we are not alone with this problem
At least you aren't alone
Same problem happened to me. It was a slow over a week process. First a flashing usb icon I had never seen before then every one in awhile the usb moisture warning started popping up here and there. Still I'm not alarmed. Flash forward to a week later (today) and not only can't I charge my phone passed 4% (after the airplane mode trick seemed to have worked but only briefly) I brought it to Verizon I tried wirelessly charging and using two other corded charges and nothing would make it less than 2 hrs and 30 mins charge time then it's turn on and just die again. Employee was familiar with the prob gave me the warranty # and ill have my new phone tomorrow. In the mean time I've discovered of the 5 places i tried to charge my phone including the Verizon store all power sources were ports or extension cords etc . I found that plugging it into the wall outlet works. Shocker right? Well I hope that the make sure its charger to outlet revelation for myself helps others as they wait for the new phones...:laugh:
I plugged my phone into a computer USB port and switched the USB options to Charge Only and Always and the moisture warning went away.
Had this problem for more then month, and this is how I managed to get rid off that moisture message.
1: Go to Apps>Configure Apps (3 dots menu in upper right corner)>Special access>Modify system settings>Show system (3 dots menu in upper right corner)>LG System server - turn off "Allow write system settings"
2: Apps>Show system (3 dots menu in upper right corner)>LG System server - Turn on "Silent"
Of course, you must be 100% sure that is false message about moisture in USB port
