I currently have a strange problem, don't know if you mean the same but my USB keeps connecting and disconnecting while I move it very little, I already blew on both the cable and the port but it always keep disconnecting/reconnecting. I don't really know if I should bring it to a repair center, currently I'm just trying to put in in "charge mode" and don't move it anymore.

SGS4 Not Charging

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?

Wont charge need parts?

OK so seems my s4 wont charge ..Will sometimes but not always and as of late with it powered off and plugged in it just vibrates every few sec with nothing on the screen..
Best place to get the board and does it have to be for the att version or is the international the same?

Hey buddy... Had this exact problem 3 days ago.
Buy a new micro usb cable before replacing parts. I had 2 home and 1 car charger. Oddly it seemed they all stopped working. I was sure it was my board or phones usb port... NOPE!!!! I decided to pick up a high quality usb cable and now charges like new.
Hope this solves your issue. If not, I hope you are able to resolve your issue..

Tried on several cables.. No go.. This more I started to remove some parts to get idea of swap and make sure its not dirty.
Now without the speaker and mic peice installed its charging while powered on. But if powered off it just vibrates every 3 sec.
I don't mind buying the parts as they are cheap but would like to buy from USA or a place that is known as there seems so many options..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using xda premium

Interesting, I'm having a similar problem but mine only charges when the phone is off. I ordered this part, it comes with tools and has good reviews. It's supposed to arrive this week so we'll see how it goes.

Good luck.

You might want to go with someone else for your part. I just received mine from Amazon Seller: Cellular ER, installed it and now I'm getting error "charging paused. battery temperature too low" and my Home button is not working. I verified the part is correct and made sure I installed it correctly. It appears to be defective. We'll see how responsive the seller is to my return request.

Help! S5 charging port is not working

Hi,
My s5 charging port suddenly stop working . I have checked the cable charger even battery. The battery is charging fine in another s5. The problem is when I put the charger in power off mode the charging animation appears for a 1 second and then gone again like its disconnected and this keep happening again n again also there is msg in this screen in yellow set warranty bit: kernel. if any one know whts wrong with my phone please help

Hi!
Charge your battery full in other phone and try again. If you phone is able to turn on, you will be able to control whether your usb port is dead or not

try a different cable. I use a USB 2.0 Cable for charging. You may need to have the charging jack replaced. plus the screen requires specific glue if the unit is repaired

I bought a used s5 knowing it had a flaky usb port, I thought that I would replace it.
Maybe usb port was dirty and/or corroded and cover was missing so I decided to clean as best I could w/alcohol and toothpick split down the middle wrapped in tissue, alot of crap came out
Mine is now functioning 99% of the time
As for your warranty bit error idk so maybe you have a bad usb port but why would USB give a warranty error

Maybe if repair turns out to be exspensive, you can try Wireless charging?

The repair is easy just clean the port as suggested above, if that doesn't work order a new charging port its pretty easily replaceable for under $10.
As for the warranty bit that means the phone has been rooted or another ROM flashed at some point in its past. It doesn't affect anything except void the warranty, which is probably long since expired anyway.

if cleaning doesnt work then replace the usb port or do wireless charging.
seems as if the hardest part of replacing usb port would be unglueing the lcd off the frame, maybe 5 out of 10 in difficulty

I had to replace my wife's S5 charging port. I used this Youtube video as a guide. Worked like a charm.

I was too lazy, I ordered a wireless charging kit, takes a bit longer to charge but it's easier. The s5 needs either a special back cover or a receiver that goes in the back cover to work on a pad. You can also spend some money on Amazon and order an external charger and second battery and just swap them when dead. If you are already rooted or gave a custom recovery at least you don't really need the USB port

It's a very difficult operation, especially removing the lcd without cracking it.

Nokia 5 (TA-1053) Strange charging Issue.

Hello guys, I am facing a strange issue with my father's mobile. It's not charging at all. Chargers are ok. Interesting thing is that when I switch off the mobile and plugs the charger in it turns up and shows the charging logo. But it goes from 1 to 0 and turns off and on and same process again. It had only 10% charge left when I got it on my hand, tried to do a reset from recovery menu. But unable to access it before charge runs out. Now I contacted some repair service face to face but different shop is asking different charges like someone asking $4 and someone asking $10. ($ is not my currency, just an example). So can anyone tell me what exactly could be the problem? I don't wanna give my mobile to a bad repairman or to some greedy one.

May as well be an issue with the battery or the charging port. Not too sure which is which, but it's definitely hardware.
I had an issue with mine (same model) not charging too, I simply changed my charging brick because that was the issue for mine.

Hi, any update? I have the same problem.
