i'm running a Gingerbread build based off of the latest nightly with stock kernel.
i've formatted my device with the formatall.zip and reloaded the ROM. i've even gone back to a stock ROM and still got the same issue. after doing this, if i plug my device up, it charges just fine while on. if i unplug the device later and plug it back up, the charging light will come on, then quickly go off and the device won't charge.
the only way i've been able to get around this is to turn it off, in which case it then charges. i get these same results whether i'm plugged into the wall or to PC.
if it were a hardware issue, wouldn't that mean it wouldn't charge at all, whether on or off?
anyone have any ideas or experience with this issue?
Same Here...
Anyone found solution yet?
My only guess would be a kernel issue or a hardware problem. Wipe your dalvik and cache and reflash your kernel. If that doesn't fix it, I do know some evo's micro usb ports go bad. I don't know if this is a symptom of that but it may be.
Thanks alot **TheSilverStig **
It was the kernel.
My phone is charging now...
Will test for a couple days and will let you know again..
For some reason www dot qap dotla/~netarchy/ is not working (Error 404)
Try http home(dot)comcast(dot)net/~evoreviews/downloads(dot)html
For now...
For me
netarchy-toastmod-4.3.1-cfs-havs-nosbc worked...
Hope that helps for you too...
Good Luck
*Happy Rooting*

HELP evo only charges turned off
I have a problem.. my evo only charges when turned off. sometimes the charging light will come on when it is on but the settings say its discharging.. also i reinstalled a driver once and it started charging fine until i unpluged it from the computer now back to not charging.. this is very frustrating.. it not the port or the cable or the charger.. is there a way to force it to charge with android terminal emulator maybe??

When my phone is powered off and disconnected from the USB cable, completely unplugged, the charging animation plays constantly. However it will play the beginning of the animation stop then start again.
Also possibly related is I can not enable USB Debugging. I get an attention box saying that a USB cable is already plugged in, when it is not. It will even do this immediately after powering off and back on.
I had rooted my E4GT awhile back and it was jumping between ROM's when I semi-bricked the phone and rescued it back with an ODIN flash.
Do you guys have any ideas what is going on and if/how I can fix it?
Thanks.

Could be software or hardware.
I would reflash to stock EL29 and see if you still have the symptom, then you'll know its likely your USB port on your phone.
You may just try flashing a kernel first since it controls this part of the software.
mine did that the port was bad I got a new replacement .....
Hi guys,
My GNex has a problem. Many users seem to have a similar problem but theirs seem to be hardware related and I'm pretty confident mine is software related.
It started a few months ago when my GNex wouldn't charge through the wall charger. I was on a trip with my friends so I didn't have access to a pc and wasn't able to troubleshoot further. The charging icon would appear when the phone was off but when I turned it on it didn't charge. I played around with the phone for about two hours, rebooting, Googling for solutions, changing the USB connection modes in the Storage settings. When I changed from Next Launcher to Stock launcher and rebooted everything was working fine again. However I think it was only a coincidence. Then the problem didn't occur again until now and this is why I think it's software related. If hardware would have been broken the problem wouldn't just have fixed itself like that.
It happened 3 days ago but somehow fixed itself again. I was troubleshooting the issue with my GNex connected to PC and installed Nexus Root Toolkit by Wugfresh. During install my phone rebooted on it's own and suddenly USB worked perfectly again!
However yesterday I forgot to charge and my GNex died. On reboot the issue was back.
"Symptoms":
Phone won't charge with any wall charger (and any cable) unless off
Phone will charge through USB in any mode but PC will not recognize it and install it as unknown device.
USB Debug Icon and Connection Mode notification do not appear in status bar upon PC connection
OTG doesn't work and apps like "Stickmount" do not detect external drives
Attempts:
Gently bending the "tongue" inside the micro usb on the phone in case there is a bad connection
Reinstalling drivers on PC
Rebooting device in different modes including fastboot
Using different batteries
NOTES
This problem started after latest 4.3 update. It has only occured after battery completely runs dry. I have 3 batteries (a bit excessive I know) and an external battery charger so charge is not the issue, I just really want to understand what's going on with my phone.
I'm not ready to Factory Reset or replace the USB port yet, those are last resort options to me. Any other options, especially software related, are very welcome. I am on stock 4.3 only rooted and with CWM recovery.
In Testing menu (type *#*#4636#*#* in Dialer) under Battery Settings my phone also says Charging (AC) when connected through USB. Hope this helps.
Been Googling around for two days now so I decided to make my own thread. Any help is appreciated. Sorry for this very long post.
Fixed it! Tried bending the tongue inside the micro usb again, forced much more this time, everything is working again, for the moment
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic Touch for Virgin Mobile I'm selling to a friend of mine. It's been working great for me for about the last year on VM. It was rooted and running Liquid Smooth and then CM 10.1 (both using CWM). When I called VM to transfer the phone to my friends account we ran into a road block because CM doesn't respond to the keypad phone codes VM uses to update the phone, or have the VM hands free activation apps.
I figured I might as well flash back to stock ROM anyway. I downloaded the ROM from here.
Odin got about 75% of the way through the flash and then failed. The phone won't turn off but instead keeps up a persistent splash screen asking me to connect the phone to Kies to do a system recovery (Which I did try and Kies can't seem to complete the connection. It sees the phone but can't connect to it, even after ensuring all drivers are up to date. But then I've never had much success with Kies).
I can still get into Odin on my phone so I tried downloading the .exe ROM instead of the md5 this time, but by the time the ROM downloaded Odin tells me the battery is too low to flash anything (which I believe). Problem is I can turn the phone off to let it charge properly (it pops up with the Kies message whenever I plug the phone in).
I've left the phone plugged into the wall hoping that maybe it is in fact charging, but the indicator light only flashes for a second when I plug it in. I'm working a double shift today so I left the phone at home hoping it will charge so that I can try flashing again, but does anybody have any experience with this sort of problem, or know if the phone will in fact charge?

The easy options are to borrow a battery from a friend with a s2 phone, or get a charger off ebay, or buy a new battery from the store which will probably come with a partial charge.
Sounds like your usb port may have died. That happens sometimes.
I was thinking of borrowing a battery. I have a friend with the same phone, so that's possible.
If the USB charger failed, however, would the blue charging light still flicker on when first plugged in? Because that's what it does. It doesn't charge, but it does seem to acknowledge that it's been plugged in. Also, when plugged into the computer it will still flash the plug me into Kies screen, but now my computer doesn't seem to even recognize that anything is plugged in.

It is possible. I had a phone that the data burnt out on, but would still charge. Just one pin needs to be bad to cause some issues, but not break everything.
Could just be the battery is totally empty too. Getting a known good battery with a charge is the first step to troubleshoot this.
I have encountered this problem a time or two before when testing some of my many attempted multiwindow mods, the device will in fact charge, but it is going to take forever. After a double shift I would imagine you'd have enough charge to flash properly, so try it again afterwards. Also have you attempted to return to recovery? If Odin only partially completed, your custom recovery may still be there and you might be able to use the power off option from recovery, while the device is plugged in, and possibly tricking it into not powering on to the error screen.

Hello,
I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition (P605 3G+Wifi) that began to stop charging when the screen goes off. Yes, it's weird but not uncommon. All the topics I found (like this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775833) are fixed by using the original Charger + Cable, which I already did. I even purchased from Samsung a new cable, just in case, with no luck. I also have opened the tablet and resettled all the connections (the vga flat cable and the battery connector). No luck either. :crying:
The only way I have to charge my Note is by installing an app that keeps the screen on while charge. Than it takes 10 hours to charge (with wifi, bluetooth, etc off, and brightness in the lowest) 100% but at least I can keep using my tablet.
EDIT: It also charges when turned off, but the charging speed is as slow as when on with the screen on. Only when on, I connect it to power, it starts charging, the screen goes off and, after a couple of seconds, screen comes on again and its not charging. Its like someone has pulled the charging cable.
I am tired of this and would like to have a definitive fix. If I buy a new battery, will it be fix? What is exactly the problem here? Reflash the ROM will it fix? Does any one knows?
Thanks for the help.
A full wipe and reinstall would likely fix your problem. I've been in this problem once, where the device charges under any condition, but it does so s l o w l y, no matter through what connection. Solved this by doing a NAND wipe through ODIN and re-installing all with that too.
What's your current ROM and bootloader? What kind of modifications have you done?
I'm running 5.1.1 stock rom with root only.
Will have to try that solution and reinstall all my stuff. Thanks.
Good news. Problem is solved.
So I wipe data... no luck, same problem. Download ROM and ODIN, entered in Download mode, connected the USB and... Nothing happened... only the tablet starting charging but the OS didn't detected anything. Tried other PC, same result. So the problem must be on the USB Port.
Checked this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZcwHd0wy0M
Opened the tablet and took off everything like shown there. Including USB Port, flat cable and battery. Reassembled eveything and... voila... problem solved.
Thanks.
Yesterday I installed a 8.1 rom to my phone and it started to fail charging after 2 or 3 seconds when I plug it. I realized that it happens when the quick charge starts but it gets back to normal if I restart the phone while plugged in. I tried to install another rom but didnt solve the problem so I am looking for a solution.
Which rom do you using? Try some different kernel like birigio's BG345. Maybe it'll help.
The problem first occured on ToxycOS and then I've switched to AOSP extended, it still didnt work. I've also tried the BG345 kernel and it also didnt help
i experienced the same thing but in my case it was my cable was broken. I buy a new one and everything is good now
