battery charger burned micro usb port on the phone - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
Phone charger burned micro usb port on the phone...
Plastic housing around the usb port is melted...
I was able to get the usb cable out of the port but now I get constand "usb connected message" seems like the phone is charging with different cable but I'm not 100% sure if it is actually charging. I do have insurance from sprint but I am usinfg a custom rom. I should put orginal sprint rom before I take it to the service center right? If my phome battery dies and I can't charge it.... what can I do? (No extra battery) thanks

I would do that to be afe depends on the store u go to the store by my house dosent care about custom roms or rooting. Half the employees there hve a custom rom or rooted

Can you elaborate more on how it's not working? (Doesn't charge, doesn't hook up to PC, etc?) Sounds silly but the answer to this might change what you get back from others as far as advice.
Does not hookup to PC charges fine.

Then your usb cable is working. Do you have the proper drivers installed on your pc? Is it the usb port on the pc? Do the basic trouble shooting.
Its USB port and i'm sure something its wrong with it

My phone thinks it's charging all the time and will randomly connect to USB storage when it's not hooked to a PC. I was on cm9. J flashed el26 with clockwork, restored nandroid , and flashed a pulled stock kernel with stock recovery. Then used z4root apk to remove root. Took it back to Sprint and they ordered me a replacement white phone (mine was black, purchased on launch day.)

Broken micro usb charging port?

Ok so here is the story, I noticed my micro usb was fitting in my phone pretty losely a few days ago. I didn't think anything of it, but today I was at work with 30% battery. So I go to charge it (stock wall mount & usb from my house) and noticed it wasnt charging. So after work I went to the mall to buy a charger, the ones they had didn't work, so I went to tmobile, and there's didn't work either. I came to the conclusion that my usb port is broken =/ my phone was completely dead for a few hours (plugged in the wall at home, hoping it'll charge) and as of 3 hours its gone from 0% to 15%, and the charging "lightning" bolt isn't over the battery indicating a charger is being recognized. Also it doesn't say its charging on the lock screen either. I am completely confused, is it a bad usb port? Bad battery? What should I do? I'm using an old G2 I found in a drawer until I find a solution.
Also I bought my Phone from some guy on craigstlist eliminating possible warranty right?
Thank guys!

You can still try warranty and see if that works. I guess when you are submitting the service request just say what's wrong. I bought a phone from someone some time ago and sent it in for repair. Fixed no questions asked.

You call Samsung of course. But when I called them for a warranty, they asked me for the receipt. So you might need it too... But doesn't hurt.
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz

Here's an update. I pulled the battery out and back in then kept the phone off while the charger was in the phone, so it showed the Barry charing icon. I let it sit that way over night and when I turn the phone on this morning its 100% battery, but frankly it won't charge back up again. Its not recognizing my charger, I'm guessing it'll only charge the phone if the phone is off?

note 2 Charging time

Hi all im alil new to android mostly delt with apple but I couldnt resist this phone.
My question is my iphone 4s fully charged in like an 1-1n a half from dead
By note 2 at&t version takes 5-7 hrs to charge from dead is that normal
Also if it helps im on jedi 6.1.2 rom
I never let the battery drain out when I was stock so im unsure if its the rom
but the rom has better battery life so I doubt it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
The 4s has a 1432 mAh battery and the Note 2 has a 3100 mAh, it should take longer to charge if it has more than twice the capacity.
5-7 hours seems long to me, mine charges quite quickly on stock ROM. Are you charging via USB? Are you using the charger that came with the phone? It is a 2 amp charger, much higher than many generic chargers or chargers you may have lying around from old phones.
Yup Im using the one it came with I have insurance but im rooted and off stock not sure if theyll replace it only had it 3-4weeks I was aboit to order some extra batteries I just dont no if it's hardware related. Isbthe anyway to check it

My Note II has always taken exactly 2.5 hours to go from absolute dead to fully-charged. I saw someone else on this site post the same thing. If your phone is taking that long to charge, either one of two things are the culprit: either you have a defective phone/battery or you are not using the Samsung wall charger that came with the phone. I can tell you, now, that if you use anything other than that official Samsung charger, it will take 2-3 times as long to charge your device.
Not looking good for me then, I just flashed the jedi rom a few days ago
I mite try to go back to stock and see if there's a difference because from half life on stock it took less then a hr
Can go stock simply by using he past nanRoid backup if so can I then use the backup to go back to jedi ??

Yes on nandroid questions. Possible defective cable as a check vs taking phone back. Mine charges in 2.5 hours. Also just checked yesterday with charging from a generic Walmart bought dual usb car charger with the stock charging cable and it took 1 hour to go from 58% to 100.

"The one" what? The white plug that goes into the wall socket, or just the USB cable and plugging it into your computer to charge?
I ask because you weren't specific and there will be a significant difference if you're plugging into your computer via USB versus plugging into the wall with the white Samsung charger. The cable isn't particularly relevant, but the actual "plug" piece is ... it's 2mA vs the 0.5mA of most computer/laptop USB ports.
There sending me one in the mail, they said it had a lil green erosion in the charger port maybe water damage, I hope they dont try charging me full price of the phone i just got it 3-4weekss ago and its never been anywhere near water and my case protects all openings
Pray for me yall

Charger wont connect

Been running macks rom ljc for about 2 weeks now and have been noticing when I plug up my phone to charge at night it has a delayed response to notify me thats its charging..but today it has completely stopped charging. Nor will it connect to my pc. My wife has the same phone and her cord wouldn't work for mine either. Can anyone help?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Uh oh im extra carefull when plugging it in. Theres teeth on the charger (UsB) that are missing. Think the port of the note 2 is like this or maybe im the only one dont snap like it does on the s3

My cord works just fine for my wife's. Does that mean its the port on my phone? ?

Makes no sense. USB port is a USB port. Should be no difference. Tried different cords ?
