So I finally upgraded to ff18 and I loved it for a while. 7 hours to be exact. I am using Phantoms Blazer rom.
I keep getting the "Charging paused. Voltage too high." error.
I have cleaned the USB port with electronics cleaner and a toothbrush, though this doesn't matter since I replaced it.
I have replaced the USB port! This error happened just after the ICS update and hadn't been plugged in. I've tried stock ICS and a few other roms and still get the problem. It'll work fine for a while, then the error shows back up.
I am using stock charger for both home and car.
Battery calibration app was used. seemed to work for a bit, then it came back.
I originally thought the problem was hardware based because even while off, the phone detects it's charging, but once I flash a new rom it doesn't do this for a few hours even while off. So it HAS TO BE SOFTWARE.
Also, once this starts happening after a new flash, I'll shut down and take the battery out. When re-inserted into the phone, without touching ANY buttons. It boots up automatically.
Is there a software update? Anything that can fix this?
Any rom I can try, though blazers is the best looking in my opinion?
Hate to put my tin-foil hat on, but WTF?!!!
My wife's Epic Touch 4g did this also. It's a hardware problem. Started on EL29 after using a Sprint branded charger (the one that's a universal home/car charger with 2 ports). You could pull the battery and hold down the power button for 30sec and put it back in and the phone still thought it was connected to a charger. It thinks there is a usb cable plugged in.

While I still think this is a problem with the actual USB port, it does seem that flashing to an ICS from GB really pulls out this issue. In GB, you won't get the "Charging paused, voltage too high" message, it is something else..
Perhaps the code used in ICS for handling the USB port is more aggressive and causes the older style USB ports to fail faster/easier...
Either way, once I received this message, the port was not good for much any longer. There are ways to work thru it, but it just keeps getting worse.
If you have sprint insurance you can take it in and they will just replace it..

Yeah i second this. Happened to me too. I have first hands knowledge on this. They replaced the phone for me. (with insurance)
I started running into this as well and thought it was software also.
I reverted back to stock and i still the problem.
Went into sprint on Monday, they gave me a new battery and charger try out. I woke up this morning (Saturday) to peeps and high voltage warnings.
I am tendingto agree that this looks like a usb issue and will have to go back in.

We have been seeing ALOT of this recently at my store.
It does appear to be hardware related, but the causes are sketchy. About 50% of the time I'll find corrosion on the board near the area of the charging port. The other half, the board and port are immaculate.
It does appear that the software is bringing out the issue, but that obscures things even more.
The closest example I can think of that compares to this is the original Gingerbread update for the LG Optimus. Besides numerous issues including charging problems, there was an issue in which the phone constantly thought there was no SD card inserted (even when the SD card was verified good and not damaged). Generally, a software rollback was the solution. But, on numerous occasions, the software actually caused permanent damage to the SD port, so much so that even rolled-back to 2.2 it wouldn't work. And the number of times that happened in our store were too great to simply attribute it to actual faulty SD ports.
It could be there are minor defects that are being exacerbated by FF18, that wouldn't normally cause an issue otherwise. (Sounds a lot like the NAND super brick huh?)

For some reason everytime my phone is plugged in it will click random things that I do not touch. I go to send a message and the phone can't do that because I cannot type effectively. When I try to unlock the phone it does random patters of trying to unlock but just doesn't work.
Can anyone help? It's randomly clicking everything when I try to text while it's charging.
Are you using the charger your E4GT came with? I purchased an aftermarket charger to charge my device at work & it did that. Made the touchscreen completely unusable while charging.

Crazy question: what kind of Bluetooth headset do you have?
I had this problem with the Samsung HM6450 with their app installed and running. Every time I'd hang up from a phone call I'd hear that weird clicking sound with the phone plugged in. If I unplugged it the clicking either went away entirely or was reduced until I rebooted the phone which would reset it entirely. But it was only with the headset on and I believe with the app running.
I can confirm this happening. A customer switched twice and each of the devices acted weird.
Another rep reported the same thing but only when charging.
I've never seen it on mine until we used the stock charger as I used the one from my rant. How ever it did happen on the stock charger but rarely.
Had another customer bring it for service stating the same issue as well.
Had same issue until I started loading 2.3.6 roms ek02. The one that came with phone glitches while charging.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
So is there anyway I can fix this problem without getting a replacement?
I had the same issue! I switched to the Rogue Stock EK02 kernel and somehow that stopped it. Try using different kernels, that may solve your issue.
[Insert witty signature here]
I just think some of the stock chargers are just not properly grounded causing issues with the screen sensors. I used the same cord and use an old htc charger and the problem went away. Tried charging with the samsung charger and got the same problems again with the screen being unresponsive and almost to the point where I can't use the phone at all.
Its the stock charger. Issues been known and reported since the release of the phone. Use a 3rd party charger and youll be fine.
mine did it with the stock Samsung charged head. Switched it with my old palm pre one and it works fine now

Just got my phone yesterday. Running Calk's 2.7 and ICS theme, set dpi to 160, looks and runs awesome. However, it always thinks it's either charging or plugged into USB. the red LED never wants to turn off. how can I remedy this problem?
Possibly try turning it off, booting to recovery, clearing cache/dalvik-cache, and then clear battery stats
Was it like this prior to rooting and custom rom?
Apk, that didn't do it.
yes, it did the same thing beforehand. Except takng out the battery solved the problem once.
Get it exchanged ASAP. This is a defect with the USB port. Has NOTHING to do with software. I was outside of my 14 day return and Sprint made me send it to Samsung to get fixed. $7 jig and two weeks later it was fixed.
With my tech background I would say check the charging port. Could be a metal shaving or *gasp* corrosion!

Yup. I had the same problem. I think it is related to the USB port (from reading a few SGS2 threads). I took it to the Sprint Store and they said the USB port looks good. They reset it and it still acted that way. However, 2 hours later the problem is gone. They ordered me a replacement so I'm still going to take it because who knows why the problem starts. I did have Calk's rom and also have the battering monitoring widget by 3C and I had cleared the battery stats multiple times prior to the symptoms starting. Just proving as many clues as possible...
What do you mean by reset?
Funny I see you have this problem (not really funny) because I noticed the same thing last night and just figured it was Rom related.
It sucks... can you give more details about the reset process? Soft reset?

I had the same problem.
The red light was on all the time, only went out when I got a text. If I pulled the battery the phone would show like it was charging as soon as I put it back in. It would show the battery animation on the screen not plugged in.
After a battery pull the phone would also not boot using the power button, had to boot to recovery and boot from there.
Took it to sprint, they gave me a new battery. Solved the problem only until phone was plugged in to charge. Then started all over again.
Turned out to be a problem with the USB port and they ordered me a replacement.
got it fixed! looks like the pcb on the port was sitting too close to the lower edge of the phone. pushed it up gently and now it seems to be working. thanks for the direction, nivron.
my other concern is that battery life sucks ass. drains really quick (at the rate of ~6%/hr!). again, running calk 2.7 + ics theme. also, taking out the battery seems to reduce the life 20%. what's the deal...
Hmm, now the USB cable needs to be at a certain angle for the phone to charge. Is there any way a Sprint store could furnish a replacement for me?
Hey all
Wonder if anyone can shed any light on what I think is a unique problem - in that I can't find anyone with the exact same issue.
Last weekend I took the SIM card from my GN to place in another phone I was trying out. The GN was powered back on and being used on WIFI as I was doing comparisons, shooting some video of the new phone with it etc.
Popped the GN in a drawer without thinking and left if powered on
(see if you can guess where this is going)
Messed around with the other phone for about 4 days, got my GN out of the drawer and went to put the SIM back in my GN.
1. GN would not turn on initially at all. No recovery, nothing. (solved)
Read some posts on XDA and elsewhere, people with similar issues mentioning a long (5min+) battery pull would wake her up. Dutifully I obliged and the phone did indeed wake up. However, battery was totally dead and phone shut back down.
2. GN will not accept charge from a wall charger when phone is on.
Whilst the phone seems to take a 'trickle' charge whilst powered off (battery charge animation is on), this is exceptionally slow. Took all night to get to about 50% charged to allow me to boot up and have a look around. Whilst the phone is powered on, it will not recharge. tried all sorts of official and other USB and mains cables.
3. When connected to a PC via USB, will accept charge, but error message notes that USB Device not reconised, troubleshoot? etc...
Phone won't mount. Status says it is charging over AC.
So what's up? I assume the battery died big time over the 4 days i left it. A have a new official battery in the post to resolve but... didn't anticipate the issues with USB connection etc. Worried the phone might be partially bricked/borked/knackered.
Phone is GSM 16Gb currently on 4.0.2 and totally stock. So no tinkering to date has caused this. Only event that proceeded the issue was the full battery drain.
Any hints / tips / info / moral support gladly accepted.
Really sounds like you're phone was already borked, just waiting for the right time to tell you. You might've hurt it's feelings.

Sounds like it's emotionally scarred from being abandoned for another phone and left in a cold dark danky drawer for half a week.
Have you tried reinstalling the USB drivers?
Also could try factory reset as well as try unlocking it and relocking. Worst case, send it in repair, just tell them it's heartbroken.
Heartbroken, I like it... Worse still I was testing out a Windows Phone. What a phone philanderer I am.
The drawer was nice and dry though I assure you.
How would I install USB drivers?

Assuming you're on a windows since you called it a PC..
Try and see if windows can install it for you.
Go to Start > Run > Enter "device installation" in the search > select "Change device installation settings" > Select "Install driver software from windows update if it's not found on my device"
Many have seen this type of problems, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427539
It's a hardware issue, but is fixable if you want to change the USB port yourself
Thanks.
Then post you link to seems to be about 'phantom' charging when no cable is connected. This is the opposite in a way - it won't charge when turned on at all.
New battery arrived today. No change. Device still trickle charges when powered off, but doesn't charge on mains power, and still will not recognise when plugged into an XP or Linux machine.
Gonna try a factory reset and will update.
Let me know of any ideas and or people with the same issue. I'm still of the opinion I haven't seen a thread with this same issue. Would be happy to be corrected.
Cheers
Well, a factory reset did nothing...
Stuck...
If you read the thread, many have had this exact problem, including myself. For me the phantom charging happened a while after it refused to charge.
What the actual ****...
I just tried what can only be described as the 'toothpick trick' : pushing down the connector nub inside the USB port on the phone et voila, now acting as normal.
I can only describe that as a really ****ty example of workmanship from Samsung.
And it would be after I reset the device as well.
Do you think this one's a definite hardware issue / defect? Seems a crazy thing to happen.
I had the same problem and search as I might, I could find no solution and had to send it in for repairs. The good news is, if you send it directly to Samsung (and dont go through your carrier), they were really fast about it and I had my phone back within a week
Lol, I was the one figuring out the toothpick trick I ordered the phone from clove.co.uk the first week it was released, and had this issue haunt me after a few weeks. As I'm in norway, I was not looking forward to sending it in, so tried to fix it myself. I tried "everything", including short circiut some pins in the plug on purpose, but what finally fixed it for me was to buy a OEM USB Charging board on ebay and replace it myself.
I know, really ****ty QA at Samsung.
Not looking forward to sitting and waiting to see if this is a recurring issue.
How much of a job is replacing the board on the phone?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Not that hard. The phone is easy to pick apart, and you can just "plug" in the new card with two simple connectors.
Turns out it is a recurring issue.
Is this the sort of thing that would be classed as due a replacement phone?

Yes, I know there are many topics on this, but mine is a little different, and this appears to be the most current thread.
I have a galaxy nexus that I got from Google IO last summer. It has worked great until last week. It stopped taking a charge. When I would plug it in with the same plug I have used for months, it would show the lightning bolt, but not charge. I tried the toothpick thing but no luck and ended up breaking the usb port. So, I bought a replacment usb board off ebay and installed that. Now, when I plug the phone in, still no charge, but my computer does recognize the phone.
Then after the 4.2.2 update, I no longer see the lighting bolt, but it still does not charge. I have been charging the battery at night. I cut off the end of a usb cable and use electrical tape to tape the two stripped wires to the battery. But that only provides an 80% charge and doesnt last the whole day.
1) Not a usb port issue, but might be a motherboard issue?
2) Not a toothpick fix
3) Maybe a software issue?
4) Maybe time to buy the Nexus 4?
When my Galaxy Nexus GSM is not plugged in, the battery shows itself as "discharging". Previously this used to be "not charging". I have tried multiple (Jelly Bean) ROMs, different cables, wall and USB chargers. Same problem. The larger issue: my PC no longer recognizes my phone and I have resorted to using AirDroid to transfer files.
Can anyone shed light on this issue?
I have done full wipes, including wiping battery stats.
Mine was always discharging...
And make sure that you got fast charge off if you have that on. That disables MTP capability.
I have exactly the same problem...see my thread...its recent!

I had a similar issue, and then not long after the phone refused to charge. I had to take it to get serviced, and the ended up giving me a refurb instead.
I think it has to do with the temp of the battery, if its too hot and you have it plugged in it will say discharging.

First, don't use a charger other than the original. The different volts mess with the NFC chip and antenna. Try disabling NFC and rebooting. Leave NFC off and try to charge. If that doesn't do it I have another option that might work but I'm CDMA so you would have an extra step to change lines in file.
Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I tried disabling NFC but it had no effect. My phone is the international version (the box was in Polish) which is not warrantied through Samsung USA, so I guess I'm out of luck there as well. I'm just gonna hang in there until the next Nexus phone, I guess.

When will people realize that the difference in voltage won't cause any problems with the phone as long as they're within safe range.
I've been using the charger that came with my G2 (htc) on my nexus for months and have no problems. I would've continued using the original one that came with the nexus but it had an annoying whine to it.

Am using samr original charger and cord. Works fine
I have this same issue
My Galaxy Nexus from Verizon has worked flawlessly for several months now. It updated about 4 days ago to JellyBean 4.1.1 and I have been charging the same two wall chargers, car charger, and USB cables every day since I got the phone. I even was using the USB charger to deploy and debug a simple application I am building around noon today. This evening at about 8 PM while on the wall charger I noticed the charging stopped. No lightening bolt icon, status says Discharging, and I noticed one time that it said Not Charging. Neither of the wall chargers work, nor is it recognized by the laptop using the USB cable. It is at 65% charge and is dropping fast. It seems that no one has a fix for this other than replace the phone.
Very difficult for me to believe that the USB port just went bad using the same chargers every day. Hard to blame JellyBean that has run at least 4 days with no issue even though several sites point to a possible charging issue. I even dialed *#*#4636#*#* and checked the battery status, and it's health was good. I have not rooted or placed anything on this phone that is obscure beyond my simple near "hello world" development apps. I have rebooted, and performed a battery pull with no such luck. With the number of posts pointing to a JellyBean issue, and users experiencing the same issue after the upgrade to 4.1.1 I am leaning towards this being a software issue, but it is interesting at the number of posts saying that the their only fix is a refurb phone replacement from the carrier.
Pretty odd occurrence, and extremely frustrating. As I said the phone worked fine all day today. This just started a few hours ago for me.

OK I have fixed my issue. and it does appear to have been hardware related. I will preface this with you must be very careful not to break your phone with the solution below. I read several posts about using contact cleaner on the USB port, so I looked at the port on the phone and noticed that the "toungue" inside the reciever USB port appeared to be slightly bent down. With the phone off and battery removed I used a needle to wedge under the toungue and bend it up ever so slightly making sure I would not break it. Pluged in the phone and it still did not charge. (That was last night) this morning with the phone at 55% and thinking it was going to need to go back to Verizion I did it again phone off and battery removed only this time a bit more forcefully out of desperation. I definitely moved the "toungue" up and even had a bit of difficulty getting the USB cord to slide back into the connector. But when it did the Phone is charging again. Appearantly I must of jammed the plug into the phone upside down last night when getting into my car and bent the "tongue" in the USB port. Lesson learned, and hope this helps others.
Means the battery has been recharged and discharged to the point were it holds less of the charge. Basically its an older battery, or its been tappered with with, probably a rom using to much ram or pussing the device a bit too far nightly and ported roms could be the cause I say stick to stock kernal unless you really now what to do
Scrap that wrong fourm I think
Experiencing some frustration with the fast charging option. I attach the charger, and no notification pops up saying "Fast Charger Connected"... but in Power Savings settings it says Charging USBicon1.png with the fast charging box checked but showing grey.
Used the same charger and cord in the same outlet earlier in the day and the fast charger works without problem. Been tracking this issue for two days and cannot figure out the variables creating the problem.
Tried different fast charger, different cables, different ports, cleaned out the port with alcohol and qtips....
Anyone else suffering the same problem?
Any insights that might lead to a solution?
Are you sure that the phone is seeing that it's being charged by AC and not USB? It may sound like a stupid question but my Note 4 recently suddenly started charging as if I'm connected to USB rather than AC, even though I'm using the same fast charger that came with my phone, and it does this about 40-50% of the time. I think it has to do with the cable I'm using, the one that came with the phone so it's 14 months old, but I'm not positive. It could be the port on the phone, which is the reason I'm mentioning it since you said you tried different cables, fast chargers, etc. I haven't noticed whether it happens when charging in the car since I don't do that much. This happened with one of my older phones also after I'd had it for a year or more, not sure if it was the S3 or Evo 3D, and back then I think it happened with any cable or charger I tried.
When this happens, I need to unplug the cable and plug it back in, sometimes it takes 4 or 5 times to get it to show as AC with fast charging.

I'm experiencing the same symptoms on two different Sprint Galaxy Note 4. At this point i'm pretty sure that is a software issue since now it's two different phones. I have tried 4 different chargers (one that was not mine) and factory reset one of them. Not sure what self updating or background self updating app (if any) could cause this problem. This is frustrating, it's like sprint and samsung purposely push software to make the phone suck and for me to update..

I was experiencing this on both of my phones before the update on the 7th of Dec got pushed out..
I'm rooted, running a custom ROM called Hybrid X 3.0 which is still OG5. This problem suddenly started out of nowhere and I hadn't changed my ROM so that's why I figured it must be hardware. Now I don't know. Makes me wonder if they could've put a kind of self-destruct code in the software to force us to get new phones. The ROM I'm running is based off of stock Samsung software after all.
I wonder if it would happen on a Cyanogen based ROM. I don't use them because I rely on my S pen too much to use AOSP.
Edit: Is anyone else seeing that their phone shows its charging as USB? Just curious.

Still experiencing the same thing. At this point I don't know what or who I should blame.
I myself was having tons of freeze issues and random reboots after the update on my completely stock phone. Not seeing the charging problem but since installing clean master and cm anti virus, issues were found and have since stopped. I definitely think there is something wrong with the latest update and could just be affecting people in different ways. I would maybe try clean master or something similar and see if your phone could just be infected with something. Might just have something to do with the latest "security" update. It can't hurt to try it anyway.
