So as to prevent your phones USB port from being damaged by moisture or condensation? Besides a little wouldn't hurt the phone right? Unlike if you drop the phone in water itself.

haven't heard of such a thing... maybe only a phone cover which has some sort of a door thing..which I doubt exists.... or just take a charging head pin and cut accurately like some sort of stub thing and mould/smoothern the edges and keep inserted on the phone always haha and remove it when u need to use the port for charging maybe

Nope, never had such a problem with my devices so far. I handle them with a certain care, though.

I too handle them with great care too. Unforthnately today I used a bag which wasn't exactly fully water proof so some moisture got in and some of my papers were wet, my screen has some moisture on it but I then used a flash light to shine into my micro USB port but couldn't see any moisture in there. Was caught in a moderately heavy rain.
Should I have anything to worry about my phone? Charges fine though, haven't really plugged it in my PC yet.

Is it just me.. Or does the charger keep falling out too easily from the charging port?
I haven't damaged it or treated it wrong.. It keeps falling out easily when I pick up the device.
I have tried the supplied white cable.. And still had my galaxy s3 cable.. Does same.
Anyone else.?

I've just trimmed a small amount of the plastic casing off the cable to make it sit better (which it does now) the angle of the bezel causes the cable not to sit fully into the port.

On inspection, I've noticed that the port is recessed quite far back into the phone. I'm hoping it's just a problem for a few handsets. I called three today and they're sending me another Note 2. Let's see if this one is any better.
No problems here. Did you try any other micro usb cable.. some fit better than others
Yep it's rubbish. The plug needs to be longer. The socket is too recessed. Easy enough to remove some of the casing of an old usb lead. Will update, to see how well it works.

Mine too. Keeps falling off every now and then. I bought HDTV adapter (the Samsung proprietary one for the S3) and that has a much longer micro usb and that fits in tight. I read somewhere that samsung has modified the micro USB port (some 5 pin connector or something like that, for the MHL) could it be because of that?

While charging the phone does it seem like the micro USB charger just seem to fall out
Yup mine does it too, just takes a light tug and it falls out.
Mines actually pretty snug. Doesn't seen to move much at all on me

I think you are just not putting it in all the way... with mine if I put it in softly it just falls out, but a little beyond that it feels like you are just going to go through the phone but it's like a second layer of safety

May I just advise caution to anyone thinking of doing this. The charger should be held in by the prongs locating properly. By bending the metal it stays in place by pushing against the middle pin which is usually made of plastic and could easily snap leaving you with a much more expensive repair than the cost of a new cable

Left phone outside last night and woke up with it pouring rain. Needless to say water got in the phone. Both camera are water logged now and the usb port is acting up saying its on charger when its not. Anybody have any ideas to maybe get the water out quicker besides rice in a bowl trick. Thanks

Ouch dude. I'm sorry that happened...I would be crying if that happened to me. It sounds like a lot of water is inside the phone and would take quiet a while for the rice to do its job. Make sure to not keep the device powered on. Remove the battery ASAP and then toss the phone in a bag of rice and let it sit for a few days. You could try setting it in front of a fan too for a few hours/days. I'm surprised the phone didn't short out yet.

Front camera is still shot and usb port damaged i guess it charges but even when i unplug it it still says its charging but battery level keeps going lower not higher. I guess i will give it a few more days then get it repaired if needed. Tried to open the phone myself and got every screw out but the one on the side and just my luck it stripped so needless to say I couldn't get the back off without breaking it...go figure!!!!

Keeping the phone powered on and trying to charge it was by far the worst thing to do. You should have removed the battery right when you got it from outside and put it into rice or let it air-dry for a long time. Obviously it's too late now but for the future just remember that for any of your electronics.
Sucks about the stripped screw. Been there done that lots of times. Those kinds of screws require a really good screwdriver.

Hello peeps, I was just wondering how can a phone charge on its own?? Im surprised never seen this happen. my brother showed me hes pre paid cricket phone that it was charging without being plugged in. Proof in the video I took. I know its out of subject but was just wondering anyone have an explanation? Was at 50% and now 63% all on its own? Watch "Phone chargine by itself?" ...h?v=oRkCQ0ecG-s&feature=youtube_gdata_player

OK what kind of phone is it and what battery cover is on it. It definitely not gonna charge by itself
TWEAKED 2.0 ELEMENT V3.0 NOTE 3
My phone has done that if I pull it off the charger too fast....drains the battery like crazy
though it IS an ancient phone compared to 2012-2013 gear (Xperia Play R800x)
Is it one of those fake display apps? My brother had one that would show screen being used as solar panel, more light would show more charging current, all fake to amuse others. Or really strong electromagnetic field capable of inducing electricity even from larger distance.
My battery has a habit of charging on it's own.. To an extent. When I reset my phone when the battery is full. It'll boot up with 15% battery, then it'll slowly creep itself up to 20%-25% then it stops. Then again, my battery is going bad.

Lol either way fellas the video is proof their is also many other videos of othee phones. Guess it happens to them when you dont take care of it as good? Idk either way still a mystery to me. Sure will see a self charging phone soon. Remember that one girl who invented a battery that charges in less than a minute full charge? Google aquired it some time back. I wonder what ever happened.

You must be talking about a different video because the video in the link posted in op does NOT show the back of the phone. He never once flipped the phone over to show the actual back of the phone, so no it does not show the front and back (I have no clue how you landed on that conclusion)! Just for a brief second he tilted his hand (with the phone still lying flat on it's back in his hand) at an angle where you can see the very bottom part of the battery cover, and you can tell it's 2-3 times thicker than the stock S3 battery and door cover so it's obviously a battery case! Sorry to burst your bubble but unfortunately there's no such thing as a magical self charging phone lol

No I never said there was but there are such things as glitches and such. I've seen stuff like that happen with phones before either from a glitch or issues with the battery, and thanks for the reply but I'm no idiot I know there isn't any magical self charging phones but thanks for the input. Have a wonderful day.
Wait so the self charging phone the guy just sold me is fake. Damn
