It is really weird. When the battery was low yesterday, I plugged the phone into a wall charger and found that it was not recharged. And then I plugged it into the USB port of my computer, it was not recharged either. The computer also failed to recognize a new device was plugged in.
I tried different computers and different cable. No recharge. No recognition. At first, I thought the battery must be dead. But this cannot explain why the computer did not communicate with the phone. So does it mean the micro-USB port in my HD2 was dead?
The only thing I did recently was to install the latest Chucky Rom. Is it a bug from the rom?
Any help is highly appreciated!!!
its a cgonfig you can change in the settings menu, start, settings, in my phone then the menu on the lowest level, about the phone, battery, there you can mark if you want to charge while connected to the computer, why its not found, i dont know, but know you can charge

The OP mentioned he can't charge when connected to the WALL charger, so changing the "Charge when connected to PC" option wont fix the fact he can't charge it thrue the wall i'm afraid.
You said you installed a new ROM lately? Maybe revert back to the previous rom or a stockrom to test? If this doesn't work theres a big chance your USB port might be broken... (or a defect charger, but since it doesn't get recognised on the PC aswell i'm a bit afraid it might be your USB port on your device)
doesnt sound like a rom issue since charging happens even if the phone is switched off, so its not handled by the rom. could be a repair job... you can get cradles of ebay that have a battery slot for charging spare batterries. That wayt you can flash wait you need cable working to go back to stock spl... doh!
does anyone know why my hd2 wont turn on unless plugged in and all it does is reset at the "stick together" screen? i was recently stuck at the "this concludes your beta" screen.. but after i hard reseted it.. it kept doing this.. please help!
check your battery

Have a look in the usb socket on your phone. There should be what looks like a piece of plastic(contact strip), sticking up in the middle of the socket. If this is not there, you have broken the usb socket and will need a new one.
If it is there, is it leaning over to one side (no gap between it and metal socket)? If yes, very carfully try to move it away from side.
If contact plate is there, with a wooden toothpick (do not use anything metal or hard plastic), wipe over contacts, as these sockets tends to fill with dust and lint from pocket.

Thanks for your input. I tried all the methods you mentioned but no luck. The phone is not charged. So I guest the USB charging socket was broken ...
So for HD2 owners, be care of your usb charging socket. It might be very fragile.
Make sure the battery pins in the phone aren't bent. If the conracts aren't good you won't be able to recharge. or so I've heard.
I had the same problem
The only thing that help me was doing a hard reset. I tried to charge it with different chargers, different comp. At one point I was thinking to bring it back to tmobile, but luckily the hard reset did the job. One other thing, I was not able to do the reset by holding down the buttons, I had to do it from settings->security->factory reset and enter 1234. Good luck
I had this very same or similar problem yesterday. I thought I had killed it with a rom update but it turns out I had somehow managed to bend the middle pin on the battery terminals. it would still turn on on but would not charge at all & battery was just draining. When plugged into USB or wall socket it would not show the plug symbol it just showed battery as 100%. once I straightened the middle pin up all was great again.
how did you streighten the middle pin in the usb port i can hardly see anything down there

Here is a head scratcher....
I have a Samsung Fascinate from Verizon, and just recently updated to the new 2.2, I now have no usb functions at all. Tried several times to install/reinstall/turn off/turn on pc, phone, etc to no avail... all I get now is USB is not recognized
here is the weird part,
when I unplug the USB from the phone it keeps charging.... is it really charging because it shows it is!!
try toggling USB debugging. It's under settings>applications>development.
If that doesn't work, I'd suggest uninstalling your Samsung drivers, reboot PC, reinstall drivers and see if your phone is recognized.
If that doesn't work and you can get your hands on another set of Samsung cables, try that out, as that happened to be my problem a few weeks ago.
I had this happen a while back. The PC would not recognize the phone at all, driver replacement didn't help, odin wouldn't recognize it either. I also experienced the charging indicator remaining on after the phone was unplugged. Remained this way for a couple of weeks. I tried multiple cables, ports, and computers.
It sounds screwy, but the only cause I could find was a dirty connector/cable. One evening, I cleaned out the cable connector and port on the phone with a piece of paper dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Following this action, the usb connected for the first time in two weeks, but not every time. Multiple cleanings were required and eventually the usb connection became reliable again. I haven't experienced the problem since.
Can't explain it but there it is. YMMV.

same here, dropped phone over winter, salt prob got into the connector where it charges. battery meter would change wildly and wouldnt connect to usb. Cleaned usb port with a little iso alcohol and a thick piece of paper and it was perfect.
Mine did the same thing. It would and would not charge. Then it would keep charging after unplugging. I took it to Verizon and they gave me a new phone. No questions asked.

Sry, if your saying your still stock then what are you installing reinstalling? If you don't wish to deviate from stock then taking it back for replacement might be your only option as it may be physical.
I should clarify the title by saying that trying to charge this phone is resulting in a number of odd results.
So firstly, I've tried using the wall-mounted AC charger. I then tried using USB on my computer, in 3 different usb ports. The phone was charging perfectly less than 24 hours before this problem began.
I plugged it in as per usual, and it didn't show the little lightning bolt on the batter icon like it should. It wasn't registering that it was plugged in. I tried plugging it into my PC, and it wasn't showing that it was connected via USB. In addition to that, my computer was failing to install the drivers for it. I went back to the AC charger, and tried a few different outlets, including one on a power strip. Nothing worked.
I searched online, and found that other people had this problem, and could only fix it by resetting to factory default settings. One person even had to do it twice to get it to work. So I did this, and it still didn't work. I tried charging my old phone with this Ac charger and cable, and it wouldn't work either. So I thought it must be a fault in the cable. So I dug up the cable (also micro-usb) for my old phone, and tried it. It worked just fine for my old phone, but my S4 still had the same problem, but with something new. It would say "Dock connected" but still not charge.
As of right now, it seems to be charging properly with my new AC mount and old usb cable, but I'm worried that this could happen again. Considering this seems to be a problem for other people too, what should I do about it? Is there some way to prevent this sort of thing from happening? Was it purely the other cable, given the fact that it didn't work with my old phone either? I'm on an extremely tight budget, and this phone is my only way of being contacted for job interviews, so having it in working order is very important. Any advice would be very appreciated!
Having exactly the same problem... couldn't find over the internet a solution yet or a position about it...
Affraid it's a hardware issue and have to send to the assistance...
Anyone know what to do?
Yup having the same issues - but i noticed only having charging issues when battery reaches 20% or the low battery notification pops up
it detects that a usb is connected but it wont charge
Solutions:
- dont let it go below 20 which is ****
- some people claim that if you use a 5pin charger instead of the 4pin which samsung includes solves the prob
Mine is a little more serious I think... haven't found a solution like that yet.
I have to connect/disconnect multiple times and it suddenly works.
But between those connects/disconnects it presents multiple problems, it appears on notification bar "Dock Connected", sometimes appears "Dock Connected" and on the notification bar appears "Suggested Apps (Anchoring)", other times it appears "Dock Connected" and the volume bar appears on the screen and stay there freeze (the phone works, but the bar doesn't disappear)... Sometimes the phone starts charging and suddenly stops, other times it says it's charging and if I remove the charger it keeps the charging symbol on the battery icon...
It's completely crazy, gonna take to service I guess.
Have you tried blowing out the usb connector on the phone with a can of compressed air?
If there is a minute piece of dust there it may be shorting something out - error that dock is connected. I know this happens to other phones, there was a big thread about it on the S3 forum. Might be a simple little thing like that...
Unfortunately that doesn't work for me, will send to service, let's see.
have you solved this problem and how?????

Yep, chalk up one more with the same problem!
At first I thought it had something to do with Aviate, a custom launcher from Yahoo (actually a pretty sweet one at that!)
But I guess not.
My work-around is to reboot the phone while connected. It charges fine while turned off and seems to keep charging when booting while plugged in.
Still... this is a stupid work-around and I want this fixed properly.
Any news from any of you guys?

Had this problem today. Suddenly out of nowhere "Dock is connected" message appeared after plugging the charger in and out. Tried to clean out the dock with stick and cotton on the edge. Then turned off and plugged in charger. Problem exists. Phone charges but stops regularly. It is very annoying when you dont know how to fix this kind of problem.
Any new solutions?
Right after this post, I froze the app "battery doctor 4.9.2" using Titanium Backup Pro (you can just uninstall it i guess). Then just plugged charger and now it's already Almost 90% without any interruption.

Amazing! I've dealing with this problem for weeks and internet didn't give me any good answer, but the whole problem was a baterry monitor apk that for some reason was interfiering with the charger. Thank you so much!
I had this problem too and in my case it was a hardware problem. When i start the charging it kept repeating the start proces of charging with the vibration and the grey battery icon(in case the phone was turned off). The battery icon with the green charging light just didn't showed up. I tried many things but nothing helped. I let the phone keep charging for the whole night but in the morning i saw that it didn't charged anyway!
Then i went to a local phone reparation shop(none official samsung) and they knew immediately recognized the problem and it was the usb/charging connector where you plug it in the phone. They fixed it in 1 hour for a cheap price and from then(i think a few months ago) it charges back perfectly. It seems it's a disease with S4's.
In my previous post I was happy thinking that all this charging problems were solved after uninstalling battery apk. But, in fact, my S4 charges very slowly after that incident. I have tried two other samsung adapters (galaxy s4 mini; grand prime). First one results the same (up to 5 hours charging), the latter was comparably shorter (up to 3 hours), but still slower than it used to be (2 hours normally). So I highly suspected the hardware might be the reason. Thank you for your information, now I will also have the phone checked at some local repair shop. And give feedback of course.

You probably got some water damage in your port. What you need to do is clean it. I used pure alcohol and a toothbrush for that. After that I flashed a custom kernel so I could enable fast charge true usb.
That's the reason your phone is charging slowly, it thinks it's connected true usb. So you need to boost the usb charging. After a few charge cycles I could revert back to my standard kernel and the problem was fixed.
I think ur right Lenny.
Mine S4 got wet last weekend and now i am also getting the " Dock is connected" message when i plug in the charger cable.
I can charge my phone but sometimes while charging i hear the sound go off and on what you hear when unplugging the charger.
I will try your solution and hope it will fix mine too. Thanks for posting ur tip!
I suggest you go buy a new genuine cable for an s4, the s4 does actually require a special cable capable of 2A charge rate otherwise you can end up in all sorts of bother.
Thank you all for sharing tips. I cleaned the port as suggested, then replaced my cable. Now everything is back to normal.

Same problem - galaxy s6
Hi there - same problem, on my 128gb s6. started this morning. Yesterday everything fine, would charge when connected via USB to both laptop and to regular samsung usb power unit. Have now tried 3 different USB cables including the samsung cable, 3 different usb power units and of course tried all 3 cables in laptop usb port. Have checked phone's usb port - clean as a whistle. Have rebooted both connected and unconnected. Started getting 'dock connected' message, now it just wont charge, although starts up fine. I take very good care of the phone, so no water damage or untoward shock damage (never get it wet, never drop it). Remaining battery charge seems to fluctuate between 30% and 40+ %, depending upon whether it's plugged in or not. If I turn it off, then connect usb cable, the phone just reboots, still not charging. I then turn it off and see no green battery charging screen, as I used to seen when connected but turned off. Should I just hard reset and take to repair shop? Still under warranty.
I would return the phone for a warranty repair. Software would not usually prevent the phone from charging when powered off.
As a final test, see if the s6 will charge wirelessly, assuming you have access to a qi charging pad and the s6 has a built-in qi receiver like the North American version of the s6.
Hi,
I woke this morning to 19% charge after 6 hours.
When I try to charge it through the mains whilst turned off, it just vibrates every 2 seconds and shows a line across the screen as though something was going to show but stopped. Kind of thing you would see with a knackered screen.
Whilst I type this, I keep getting USB device not recognised as it connects and disconnects however the charge is still showing but doesnt seem to be putting anything into the phone.
The phone knows the charger is in, and shows but nothing is going in.Battery drain..
Charge only via Qi charger!!
PC also didnt see phone..
Try carefully cleaning the USB port with a needle or toothpick (under the USB pin as well!). Might be something metallic in there interfering with the connection.
I'm assuming other USB chargers and cables also do not work?

Try the cleaning, if that doesn't help try cleaning the contact points on the battery and its slot with a bit of denaturated alcohol and a cotton swap.(for sale in any drugstore).
If that doesn't help either, and you have one within reach, try another battery. And if that doesn't help, it's likely the motherboard.

Battery ok. With wireless Qi charger, everithing ok. Till 100% for 1.5-2 hours..
I need some help with my p9 lite 2017 as the battery percentage doesn't increase.
It started a few months ago, nothing special, no update, only a screen replacement.
So the phone acts weird as I use it, the main problem is that it doesn't charge. Or it would seem like. It actually holds charge at like 2% when I keep it on either the pc or the wall charger.
I already did a factory reset, and at first glance it seemed like the solution, because it showed 80 something percent of charge when it turned on. Then it started dropping by 10-20 percents every moment until it reached 2 or 0 % again.
Now, I tried replacing the battery(thought I did like 3 screen replacements already, maybe it got bent or something), tried replacing the charging port(no success either), and several factory resets and different cables and stuff.
The interesting thing for me, is that it shows only for a little moment that it's charging, like you want to say, "It's char...", but then again, it's not charging.
Because of this 'almost charging' thing, HiSuite can't see the phone, but for a moment. Based on this symptom, it's related somehow to the whole connection system of the phone. That or I just need to change a ribbon cable lol.
Ty for your help!
Upd.: The computer can see it, as media drive, so I can access the files on it, but HiSuite still can't connect. Still no charging, just maintaining the 2%.
Try to clean the usb port with a needle. Can you insert correctly the cable?

As I mentioned, I replaced the port completely, and the cable fits perfectly like new. It's the same stiff instertion with all the cables I've tried.
Same thing
I got the same thing today. I have changed the lcd and frame, and i use it with no back glass all the time.
Everything I tried was worthless, I would also like to know the problem. Haven't tried how long it holds on 2%
