Replaced charging port, still no charging! - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi all, long time creeper, first time poster
I have the S8+. Not too long ago, it gave me the error, "moisture detected in USB port" whenever I tried to charge it. It's never been close to water so I thought it was a tad strange. I cleaned the port out, still no charge. I cleared the cache/data for USBSettings, which enabled me to trickle charge, VERY slowly (when it decided to work, I had to pull cable/clear cache multiple times before it worked.
I've tried different charging cables and plugs, tried different ROMs and firmware, both Oreo and Nougat, with no luck. That suggested to me it could be a hardware failure.
(It cannot be read by USB on Win10 so no ODIN & I can't use my USB DAC or GearVR headset either)
So, I ordered a new daughterboard and set to work on it this morning. After a lot of swearing and a bloody finger, I had the phone back together, but the problem still persists with the new part?!
Has anyone had similar issues or got any suggestions for me before I throw this goddamn phone out of a window? :crying: hah.

Hello there, as I can understand you change the daughterboard yourself right ? Why not get it to service Indeed? I mean if you don't know how to change the board you should go to a service. Also I never faced that problem, a stupid question have you tried a different adapter ? If you have a powerbank try to charge it from there too to see the problem persists. I give you some ideas might they are stupid for you, I do not know what else to say .
You already tried different ROM , cable . The phone never dropped to water , that's very very strange :silly:

I had a similar problem with my old Galaxy S6. Nothing happened after changing the daughterboard (not my first replacement).
So after that I figured out I take the expensive way and got it to a repair center. They checked for root so their first answer was just "KNOX is tripped, that's your problem". Well duuhhh, I know that and I could use it just before a couple days. After a very long and frustrating discussion, they accepted to check the mainboard. Turns out there were some capacitors burned. I would had to change the mainboard do get it charging and/or connecting with a PC again.
Long story short: there might be a short circuit on your mainboard. You can also try wireless charging but for me, it sounds like a bad mainboard. If you can, try for warranty.

Focus charging sound notification

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907971&page=36
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:
answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp7-wpdevices/samsung-focus-constantly-thinks-it-is-charging/3660876b-83af-454c-8584-3970d0f830f2
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

My Galaxy Note is Possessed

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

[Q] LG G2 not charging at all!

Hi all,
I just bought an LG G2 (D802 international unlocked version) and the behavior when plugging in the charger cable is very strange:
When I plug in any charger (tried 4 different ones with different cables incl. stock), the phone is not charging.
BUT, there are a few strange things happening:
1. On the lock screen it shows "Charging"
2. In the settings menu under the battery menu it shows "not charging" (this is different from being unplugged, then it shows something like "discharging")
3. Sometimes the popup comes up when I plug it in, but not always.
3. When I turn the phone off and plug the cable in, the display lights up (also the LED) and it shows the "charging" battery symbol.
IN ANY CASE, THE PHONE BATTERY IS NOT CHARGING!
Here is what I tried so far:
- Used 4 different chargers & cables
- Tried to charge via USB
- Did a factory reset
Nothing helped so far.
I suppose that its a hardware failure, but maybe someone has a different suggestion/solution?
Only thing i can recommend is maybe do a factory reset to see if that corrects it which i doubt it will. Other then that i would have the phone warrantied then.
If its a software issue then that is at the kernel level. I would assume its a hardware issue though

I got a replacement unit, it was a hardware issue.
The same problem i am facing with my G2 Sprint LS980 and i am pretty sure this is not hardware problem because my phone had signal issues and LG charged repair fee around US$ 55. My phone was not rooted before repair and also my phone was charging fast too. It has installed ZVD7 ROM. But once i get my phone it was completely changed. They rooted my phone, They converted my ROM from ZVD7 to Cloud G3 2.2 and they also installed TWRP recovery. But still phone is not charging same like as you posted. I just noticed another thing phone is perfectly charging in TWRP recovery mode. Therefore i am 99% sure it's not hardware issue. 2nd issue is that phone is also not detect with my PC. I tried different drivers but failed. Anybody can help me or suggest me any suitable ROM and provide me correct driver or PC suite?
having same issue , have u solved??

Not yet Dear...It is the piece of junk for me. Now my ROM has been deleted. I want it back
I have the same problem. The phone is acting very inconsistent with charging after I replaced my broken display. This is the second time I replace the display, and it didn't cause any issues the first time. Basically, my phone won't charge more than maybe 2% over a period of 12-16 hours. The phone does not discharge as others have mentioned in previous posts.
No one seems to have a solution to this problem. Some people online are arguing that is it a "security measure" LG have installed into the phone, which makes it impossible to properly charge the phone without an official LG charger/cable. However, I never used the official charger, but been using various chargers and cables without problems!
But now comes the really weird part. I decided to take off the backcover, and then plug in the charger to see if pushing down on different parts would somehow fix it (loose connections etc..). But before I got around to test such hackery, I plugged in the USB and the phone suddenly started charging! I proceeded reproduce the problem/solution, and the result was very confusing: no real charging with backcover on; perfect charging with the backcover off.
Would anyone here on XDA have any ideas as to why this is happening? I've been thinking that the connectors on the backside on the cover might have something to do with it. Not having the backcover on does not seem to affect the phone at all (i can use it like I would without the cover).
TLR: My phone won't charge with the backcover on, magically works when the backcover is off. I suspect that it might have something to do with the connectors on the back of the cover.
Maybe putting the back cover on the phone is causing a grounding problem or shorting a circuit. Maybe put some insulating material on the inside of the back cover and then put on the phone?

Yes, I thought about doing this, trying one connectors at a time. Do you think that the sticky part of a post-it note like do? I don't have electrical tape lying around atm :/
Anything that is non-conductive should be fine since it is just a test.
You could also use a non-sticky piece of paper between the cover and the phone's components.

So you solved the problem?
I have very same problem decon89 described - I replaced screen and cannot charge it properly. And even worse: charging is possible with the phone being switched off completely. And after phone is charged - I cannot turn on the phone unless i open back cover and unplug-plug battery cable. Phone MAY turn on without unplugging-plugging battery, but it is blind luck. Yesterday i accidently turned off my 100% charged lg g2 and could not turn it back on during whole day. If someone has a solution please share it.
Hi everyone,
I'm so sorry for not following up on this thread. I haven't fix the problem yet, but it worked for same time, then started acting up again.
I've put a few strips of electrical tape on the bottom part of the phone, behind the black plastic thing. I did this because of an issue with my display having a loose connection. This fixed the screen problem, but the charging fault came back.
The idea of putting a piece of paper between the battery and cover did not work at the time, but I'll try it again tonight.
As I'm writing this, the phone is charging with the cover half off. It works, charges, no problem. I can even use the phone even though the bottom part of the cover is off.

Would anyone here on XDA have any ideas as to why this is happening? I've been thinking that the connectors on the backside on the cover might have something to do with it. Not having the backcover on does not seem to affect the phone at all (i can use it like I would without the cover).
TLR: My phone won't charge with the backcover on, magically works when the backcover is off. I suspect that it might have something to do with the connectors on the back of the cover.

same here with my phone when i take off the back cover it started charging.

Note 4 suddenly stopped charging

Note 4 won't charge over USB anymore. Used to charge intermittently after being plugged in for some time but now won't charge at all. Tried all manner of cords and adapters. When powered off, the phone strangely keeps vibrating continuously. Any help with this greatly appreciated!

Don't think anyone will be able to help here with that sort of issue. Either flash a ROM after a complete wipe to see whether it goes away, highly unlikely, so then the most obvious solution, service centre.
Had a similar issue, changed the USB charge port and still nothing, I'm going to try the flash next
Is your battery OK ie any signs of swelling, leakage or damage?
If your able to try a known working Note 4 battery in your device it makes sense.
Also may be worth cleaning out the USB port with compressed air as at time dust build up over time in the port may also cause your device not to charge.
did everything mentioned, with no result, tried a new ROM and nothing, ive been speaking to persons and theyre saying it might be a board issue...

It totally sounds hardware related. Did you try a new battery, too?

Unable to boot up, Red light when charging issue

I have been unable to boot up my letv 1s device, I have tried everything listed on this forum and other forum to boot up my letv device. Including removing the battery and reconnect them back again.
Recently, I tried to repair it to local phone repair shop, they told me it needs a battery replacement. I bought the battery from aliexpress and replaced them, but it still doesnt boot up.
The repair shop gave up and gave me back the phone and told me the EMMC is weak (I'm not sure about this).
I disassembly the phones and try to figure out the problem, I am guessing the problem might be with the charging board, I am posting the video here hoping someone pro could help me solve the problem. I'm guessing its the charging board because everytime I connect the device to the PC, it kept reconnecting when I tried to FLash a new ROM.
Here are the video of the board kept reconnecting when I tried to connect them to PC

Here is the picture of the charging module board

I really hope someone with more experience could give me more insight about this, thanks.
PS: Please dont ask me to charge the phone again with original adapter and cable, because thats the first thing I tried and I charge it for more than 24 hours already (I even tried to buy a new adapter and usb type-c cable). Oh and I tried connecting to PC with the battery connected also, and it kept reconnecting.
Hi, I also have same problem, but still no solution.
Hi @casper2201 , @softkans and any one with the same issue,
I too had the same issue. It started with the charging rate becoming too slow (1% increment in 25 minutes of charging). I switched off the phone and left to charge for around 35 hours straight and came to find it 79% charged. Then I tried flashing the LOS14 after LOS13 ROMs but in vain. I also fiddled with the Kernel Adiutor, still no help. The charge won't increase when the phone is on so I left it to discharge until it switched off. Then the main issue showed up with red light always on when charging and blank screen.
I also posted about it here, but no one replied. Then I took a leap of faith and went to a local repair shop. He confirmed that it was a hardware problem and the charging module needs to be replaced. Just now I am coming from the shop itself after picking up my phone. Its working fine till now *fingers crossed*. He charged me ₹1300 ($20) which is a little high for the service but it doesn't matter as he was the only one ready to open it as there was the risk of cracking the screen.
So, summing it up, if you have the same problem as that of mine then you need to replace your charging module and I think it will be fine.
Charging module replaced.
Current condition of phone.
The rubber bands will help the adhesive strengthen.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Yesterday when I was done with setting up my phone, I put it to charge and the same issue has come again. Its not charging and the "Red light of Death" is back. Today I'm going to the repair shop again and see what he can do now.
I think this is the end and there is no point throwing away more money on the device anymore.

Sir same thing happened with me....phone is not charging red light alert and display blank...please suggest me what can I do
I want my data back from that and its not starting my data is really very important I can't loose that
Help me and tell me what can i do so that my data will not loose and my phone starts
Remove display and disconnect battery. If it won't be alive again that's probably power management unit problem and you won't fix that way.
