Ok so I've had the GS2 for a week now and i think its amazing. But, I've noticed sometimes when i charge it it shut off completely and does not charge. (via ac and also usb) I have to take out the battery and put back in and then it charges again. Is this a bad battery or is it a phone issue?
I haven't had that problem at all.

that is very weird
it should charge even when the phone is completely off
or when it goes to sleep mode
i'll suggest trying to do a Factory Format and see if that problem persist
it might be a software bug
My phone stopped charging from its regular wall charger this morning. Now when I plug it in it doesn't do anything. If I turn it off and plug it in the battery icon with the charging icon shows up then shows it charging, then it shows the charging icon again and the same thing keeps happening until the battery just dies. The only way I can get it to charge is if I plug it into usb port on my computer. Is there any solution?

The same exact same thing happened to me today! Very strange. I restarted about 4 times, and took out the battery etc. and it just started working.

It happens when u add few drops of water in charging port.. lol
Happened to me too ..
I used every trick vacuum, hair dryer, sun-light, heat etc. but didnt work
then I dipped my phone in 100 kg rice bag for 2 days .. lol
problem resolved !
I just started experiencing the same thing. Occasionally I can get it to charge, but usually it just sits there and dies. I haven't been able to test the pc charging, as I'm currently on vacation. This is pretty random, considering I've had the phone since launch day (Verizon), and have dropped it, etc in the past with no problems; then randomly it won't charge.
Had strange problems like this. Try bending the little tab in the charging port on your phone (carefully) away from the side. I haven't had a problem since.

Your charging brick or USB could be bad. Try different cords/chargers.

I've had similar issues.
Some background: It started just after I flashed the AUG 29 AOKP Jellybean nightly. It might just be a co-incidence but I saw a couple of people on rootzwiki who had a similar issue.
I wasn't charging at all then. Only when I was turned off. I was having driver issues with computers that had connected to the phone before.
I have since reset it back to stock JB and the charging from the charger seems to have been fixed. Instead my pogo pin charging is a bit iffy. It works sometimes but not always.........
Well, I spoke too soon! NOT CHARGING from the wall again. When phone is shutdown, it charges. In Android, it doesn't.
Could you tell us what you have done so far? Any solutions that you tried but didn't work?
Have you tried:
-different battery?
-using different cable or the charger?
-straightening the metal part of the port?
-cleaning the port with alcohol?
These are the known solutions for most of the Gnex port problem. If you haven't tried already, please do so. If you're still having problem with it, tell us.

This is not a randome issue... Happened to me too only ONCE and never again
Solution
Let the phone battery die out completely and then charge a bit and boot into CWM recovery. Reset battery stats and you are good to go.:good: Or you can even try reseting battery stats without complete discharge. I havent tried the later since had this problem only once. I'm not a developer but my theory is that there is some embeded software that determines power supply and due to some reason it got corrupted.
Hit THANKS if I helped
Thank you everyone for your help. Really appreciate it. So I know I didn't get it wet. And I changed chargers and batteries to no avail. Then I tried what the last post said, to wipe battery stats. I did that and restarted. Did it again because first time didn't do anything. Now its charging fine. Great relief

I'm experiencing this problem now. But I think it's because I was messing around with 'Fast Charge' settings in my AOKP Milestone 1 ROM controls without really knowing what any of it meant. I'll try to wipe battery stats and do a few reboots. I'll let you guys know.

Same problem for me now too! =\ I'm using cyanogenmod though. I reset battery stats, formatted and factory reset the thing and nothing. Also tried a few different cables. It's also no longer being recognized when connected to PC.
EDIT: Looks like the USB connector on the device was slightly off center. Bent it up a bit and it seems to be working as normal now.

I had the problem of ghost charging, it started with phone not charging when connected to charger and then randomly showing charging(even when not plugged in i.e. ghost charging) .
After seeing other thread, i cleaned the port with paper and tooth pick and also pushed the inner tongue slightly upwards and now it doesn't show charging icon, but it says not charging in settings>battery, instead of discharging
It causes vbus_tuna_otg wake lock in Bette battery stats and high system usage in setting> battery, basically not letting the phone go to deep sleep, causing battery drain.
Have tried multiple roms and stock, etc all give same behaviour so definately h/w problem and also have two batteries and both do the same thing.
Any way to fix this. ?
Any help appreciated.

Hey,
i actually live in India, and had purchased this from US from Google directly, so i dont think samsung will be providing replacement, they give only limited warranty after 14 days..
Any idea on how to solve problem or atleast let device go to sleep..

There's another thread in here somewhere where a guy replaced his USB port, you may look into that.

Did you ever get it fixed, I also have the same problem I have been searching and searching and I can't find a solution. I have tried a new battery, resetting the phone to stock, cleaning the usb port, replacing the usb port, taking the phone apart and cleaning it, greenified a lot of apps and the phone still does it. I just ordered another usb port in case the first one I bought was defective. I have bbs and vbus-tuna_otg is the main kernel wakelock killing my battery. Hopefully someone can help us seeing as this is a Google flagship phone.
My phone is a Verizon 32GB Galaxy Nexus running CM 10.1.3
Have tried the same as you. Changed port and battery and problem still persists. It's probably a board thing and needs a board replacement. I ll just have to live with it. I have the GSM version. I wonder if there is any way of disabling the service /process that creates the wakelock...

Damn that really sucks. I just bought the phone and I never knew this problem existed. Google should fix this.

Hi,
I have developed an open-souce (GPLv3) app that helps save battery when this happens.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484871
SnooZy Charger turns off the screen on these ghost connections, saving battery consumption by the display. It does not fix the charging issues, but it reduces the battery drain when this happens.

Hey thanks I'm going tobgive it a try. I'll leave feedback to see if I have any ideas for you. Thanks again.
So there is this problem with my HOX.
Every time my battery goes down below 20% my phone switches off itself if i use more than 2-3 apps simultaneously.
I am not able to use phone below 20% most of times as soon as i plug in, I can use it again :/ weird!
This has been occurring for a while a now.
I have tried flashing different roms but still the problem persists.
Is there an issue with my battery? Or is it something else?
Although the Gsam Battery Monitor shows thats battery is good.
Any thoughts?
Any help is much appreciated!
No body?

Don't know if this will help and may be unrelated, but is the battery charging ok? I have been working on a friends HOX which is having battery issues, in a similar problem it keeps shutting down before the battery runs out, and was seming to charge ok, but the battery drained quite quickly after charging. In the end I replaced the battery(as the old one wasn't holding a proper charge) with a new one which seemed to fix the problem and also seemed to charge fine for about a week and then started having charging/shutdown issues. I'm yet to have another look at it but have been trying to find out more about the problem, if it is the charging circuit it can aparently be re-calibrated by holding the vol up, vol down and power button down similtaneously for 2 minutes. Don't know of this will help, but it is the only thing I can come up with that may explain the problem.
Had this today when my phone died and while it was charging on 2% it turned off.
I think it's just the cpu pulling power the batter simply doesn't have though I've never had it on anything about 5%.

Hello Friends,
I have a year Xperia Ion phone. Recently I have got a problem with the battery of this phone.
A week back the battery status was never going below 100% but will shut off after certain amount of usage. I did not bother as I was able to use the phone normally but only the battery status was a problem. However the problem got more serious. Here is what happened and what I tried:
- A day back phone got switched off and the battery was never going above 1% upon restart, even when it was on charging
- I tried hard restart (holding volume up button + power button). After this it was showing increase in percentage when plugged in for charge and reached 100%. I thought the problem is resolved but not.
- Everytime I unplug phone from charging, battery drops down to 1% immediately and shuts off
- I did service test (by dialing some long numbers) of the phone and it says battery is good and no need to replace it. I assumed there is not hardware issue.
- I had no otherway but to try out battery calibration after rooting- I rooted my device, used 'Battery calibration' app. Charged up till it says 100% and did the calibration. It showed calibration success. I unplugged it from the charger again just to find that the same issue again.
I really do not know what to try now. My phone is just out of warranty (I bought this in another country during a visit). I am ready take paid service if that would solve, but I really appreciate a promising solution or suggestion for this issue.
This phone means a lot for some reason. Thanks in advance for your helpful thoughts!
Note: I found a similar thread where they talked about replacing battery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450884 I am not sure if this is the same case as that of mine. If so how to replace the built-in battery for Ion.
have you try charging when the phone in power off state ???

Every time I plug it in charge only after it goes off and then I turn on. Do you suggest to charge it to 100% while the phone remains in off state?
