hello, my phone was working perfectly until i plugged it into my car charger. suddenly my phone turned off and never restarted again and the car charger fuse blew away. even when i plug it into the original charger nothing happens, screen always off no sign of any life. i tried to remove the battery for a whole night and nothing happened. i took it to a repair shop they said that no sign of damaged hardware. today im taking it to another repair shop. Any clue about the problem. could it be the EMMC chip and can it be changed without changing the whole motherboard?
Change the battery.
If that doesn't work then it's more than likely the board. If it was me personally id have sent it to Samsung, tell them you have no idea what's happened.

Hi - my first post.
I have a charging problem not unlike that posted by Jurgensen on 25.11.08.
My X1 will no longer charge from a USB charger when it is turned on. It will only charge from a wall socket charger when turned off. Neither will it charge from a car socket or additional battery (Proporta type).
But, when I charge from a PC - whether it is synched to the X1 or not - the phone charges when it is turned on.
I have had had my X1 for a couple of months and this has only just started happening.
I admit that I have used different chargers and leads, apart from the SE supplied one, perhaps I have caused some damage doing this. I have tried using 4 different USB chargers and various different leads, but no go.
One coincidence is that it started happening the day I loaded VistaHide battery gauge - which seems very good. I have tried deleteing that file, but it does not make any difference.
I have just installed the latest UK O2 firmware, but no change.
Any help and suggestions gratefully received.
John.
In settings>system>power is the "when device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connecting to the pc" box unchecked? Just a thought...
As you have flashed the phone its unlikely to be a software or settings problem. And different mains and car adapters dont work its most likely to be a fault with the phone.
Phone O2 and ask for repair/replacement?
same problem as mine!
i told them just back my freaking phone! so i got it back UNREPAIRED!
I did not buy a 800$ phone so i can use it 1 month, 2 month, or 1 year later!

charge problem
i have the same charging problem. I must turn off the phone to charge from the car OR wall charger. It does charge from the USB PC connection.
When I plug it in to the wall, the display DOES get brighter. But the illumination lights don't go on nor the battery charging icon. If I turn off the phone, the illumination lights DO work when hooked up to charger.
Did anyone find out what the problem is?
I did find something that suggested maybe the battery isn't tight, but I tried several time to reseat the battery. This all started sometime after I had to take out the battery because the phone froze.
I have done a hard reset AND even did a software update getting the new software but the problem is still there.
it' a hardware problems.
and Sony Ericsson is a SCUM, after they got your money, they dont give a ****!
i sent my phone in for repair, they gave me the same BS excuess everytime, "we waiting on parts, and we have no idea when parts available".
u the manufacturer and u have "no ideas when parts available"??
ok, htc made the phone, how hard is it to give them a call and ask them??
So I got my SGS4 about 8-9 weeks ago and flashed the Omega ROM. Everything was functioning perfectly up until this weekend just gone. The battery died on Friday night and then when I went to charge it on Saturday, it wouldn't charge. All that happens is the initial battery charging logo comes up, stays there for a few seconds and then reboots into the same thing, a loop (this happens charging both from a PC and from a wall outlet/power adapter).
The funny thing here is that it doesn't seem to be the port on the phone as it's recognising when something gets plugged in. I can even connect it to my PC and Odin can see it. I have borrowed a fully charged battery off a colleague and done a factory wipe/reset and flashed the stock ROM/firmware. Now I can boot in to the OS. However it still wont charge.
It seems as though the "charging" part of my phone is broken. The port seems to be functioning as the device realises when it's plugged in to either a PC or power adapter, it just wont charge.
Anyway, so I'm trying to figure out if this is a software or hardware problem before I attempt to send it back for warranty repairs.
Let me know if any further details are required. Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance

Although the pc and odin are abe to recognize your phone....there could be dirt particles stuck inside the micro usb port....because we always carry our phones in our pockets...the lint and pieces of thread can get it....i suggest you try n clean it with a small pin....i did it to my phone...and it was much better....but please do be careful..... also try to replace your data cable with an original cable from somewhere else...because with time these cables wear out.....just try it out...good luck....hope you get your phone back to charging condition
Thanks for the recommendations guys. I tried it with the cable/charger that came with the device but there was no difference.
I'll try and give it a careful clean sadeshmagic. Cheers.
If you can find it I would suggest instead of a pin, a can of compressed air. This means no damage to the connectors as you aren't sticking anything in there and any dust/lint/crud get blown out....
Just to provide some closure on this, I got it repaired under warranty and the fpcb board was replaced. It now works fine. Thanks guys.
I have a feeling I might have a similar issue. Woke up this morning, phone dead - no indication from phone that it was charging.
Went to Sprint store and apparently, they dont sell batteries. Dude charged my battery for 20 minutes and my phone turned on, but no indication when charger plugged in that anything was happening.
Used a pin and X-acto to clean out this really gross piece of what appeared to be some kind of sticker/adhesive combined with lint, and now my phone shows as if its charging, but doesnt appear to be. I'm thinking one of the pins is probably corroded and need the same board.
Do you think that board is easy to replace or should I just try to get a replacement through insurance?
Last week my phone started not charging properly, with the charging cable plugged in it would seem to randomly stop and then start charging again. I tried a few different chargers and it was the same, sometimes it would charge and others times not, but eventually it stopped charging all together and the battery died.
I thought the charging port might have gone faulty, so I ordered a new one and replaced it, but it still didn't charge. So, I bought a new battery and tried that, the phone booted up fine and worked but again, it still wouldn't charge.
I'm assuming something must be broken on the motherboard, but I don't really want to spend any more on it and the phone is out of warranty,so I just wondered if anyone had any other suggestions I can try before I have to sell it for parts?
Cheers
IDK but maybe small smd fuses..

To make it as short as possible, My original note 3's logic board died, so I purchased another Verizon note 3 from eBay that claimed to work, but had a bad charging port. Since my original N3s charging port worked perfectly fine, I figured I'd just swap the logic board over.
Well, the blasted thing still won't charge. It won't even recognize being plugged into USB. I've tried several different cords... Ranging from the stock USB 3.0 one, to the Galaxy Tab 3 cord... To cheap Gas station car plugs... nothing seems to work at all. I've tried wiggling the cable thinking maybe it may be loose, but that didn't work. I had NO issues with the charging / USB port when it had the original Logic board in it.
So, What are the chances the logic board has messed up USB / Charging circuit? Is it possible I didn't get something connected right? I figured if I did, Something wouldn't work... But everything does, Except usb. (Speakers work, Mic works for calls, home / soft button and lights work)
EDIT: I took it back apart and checked all my connections and refreshed them, Didn't change anything :/
I even tried this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwTrlMomZ6o with no luck.
So it seems like the Logic board has bad USB. What are the chances of that happening?
Anyone at all? Gonna have to resort to a wall battery charger to use this phone.
Mine will not charge either and just started doing this about a week ago. Luckily I had bought 2 extra batteries that came with a wall charger. By the time one battery is dead the other is charged. My N3 only last about 6hrs or so.
Ok guys maybe someone has experienced this before. I have searched the Internet and can't find a solution. I have 910W8 model rooted with custom rom. Few days ago I plugged into my wall charger and my phone froze and I had to reboot. Once I rebooted the phone will not charge at all. It does not recognize that its plugged into wall. I bought new charger and cable. Same. I bought new battery. Same. I have no warranty on the phone so I took a little Shop and they replaced the USB board. Now it charges but it will not fast charge or connect to my computer. When I plug it in my computer it says device has malfunction. I took it back to the shop and they replaced the USB board again but I have the same issue. They said they have never seen this before. Anyone have any knowledge on this? Also yes I have fast charging selected.
