I was installing a full body shield on my phone today ( the kind where you have to wet the phone) and I think maybe I got some water into the phone, probably the charging port.
I left the battery out of the device for about an hour and put it back in and every thing was good. But then I connected it to the comp via usb and the comp recognized it, then didnt recognize it, endless cycle. I thought woah. Took out the battery, blow dried the charging port, left the battery out for a while. I connected again back to the computer and it seems fine.
Now I try to charge it.. weird stuff happening. I connect and let it charge for a while its fine.. then I disconnect and it still thinks its charging. After playing with the phone for a bit in battery settings it realizes its not charging fine. After a while I connect it to the charger, shows not charging, after a while shows charging via USB. Now again its not reconizing the charger.
I'm scared as **** and just took out the battery.. what do I do?

Have you tried the rice trick?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
some people say put battery in rice for 48 hrs to take away all water. Plus there is like a small litmus paper on battery, it usually is pink w stripes and changes color when it comes in contact w water. If the color hasnt changed you can still get the phone exchanged, but try the rice trick.
this phone doesnt have the liquid stickers.
here's the thing, it was such small amounts of water being used I don;t think rice would work. Like rice just waits for the water to come out and dries it so the phone is fine before you use it.
I'm pretty sure the water is already out, I'm stuck with a problem.
Can I Flash to stock, lock the bootloader and send for warranty.. or will they know there was water involved?
The (insert charger) popup keeps coming up as well. Repeatedly
Odds are, you ruined it the minute you put the battery back in and turned it on. You can try taking the battery out and putting it in rice, but odds are that the damage has already been done.
I'm pretty sure that all of the instructions for the wet application protectors tell you to leave the battery out for at least 12 hrs, preferably a full day, before putting it back in and turning it on, and that is pretty much the reason why. If water gets anywhere it's not supposed to be, it can cause damage to the components. Live and learn I guess.

This phone has 4 liquid stickers. I just found all of them. They all work.
One ON the battery, one above the battery by the gold power contacts and two under the plastic cover.

I just updated my post above because I realized it could be helpful ^
Good luck to you as well!
...and now it's being laggy. I'm guessing this is due to the device always seeing anf not seeing a usb input.
I;m going to replace the charging jack tmrw from a technician I know.. hopefully that would fix the problem.
I gave it to one of my tech's. He's gonna open it up and try to clean any water damage and see if the stickers are good.
I have 3 ways to proceed:
Send it to my carrier, they'll give me a new/refurb phone. Cons: 35$ fee, may get a refurb phone, need to unroot phone, if water damage found, im stuck with a bill for a new phone.
Send it to Samsung, they'll repair it. Cons: I'll have no phone for a while it takes them a week or two to repair it. Need to unroot. If water damage found, they'll send it back unrepaired.
Get my tech to repair it by changing the chargin jack flex cable. Cons: Gotta pay him a fee probably $50-60. If something else goes wrong with the water damage later on, I'm screwed.
Not sure what to do right now.
Hi!
A few days ago, I was on a three-day biking trip where my Galaxy Nexus was in a back pocket, trapped between a sweaty back and a very heavy backpack.
I had it turned off for most of the trip, and never charged it once on the trip.
When I got back, I tried to turn the phone back on, but nothing happened. I thought that it must be the battery sucked out, so I tried charging it, but no response (it didn't even show the charging symbol). Then I kept it plugged in for an hour or two, and it charged again! I thought everything was all right, but it wasn't.
My problem is that it doesn't charge when the phone is turned on, and only partially charges when it's off. When I plug in the charger and it's off, it shows the lightning icon, then the charging animation for a few seconds, but then it's starting again at the lightning icon, then a few seconds animation, repetitively for ever.
I think something's wrong with the phone's micro-USB power plug, as I've tried two batteries (one of them I didn't bring on the trip) and it does the same thing with both.
Is there any way I can try to fix it myself, or will I have to send it in for reparation (and will that work), or do I have to look for a new phone?
Thank you!
Have you tried charging with a different cable directly from USB on computer, or from a car charger (to eliminate your wall charger and cable)? I'd try that before assuming there is a problem with the phone itself.
Did you find any solution for the problem ?
Hi,
Were you able to find the solution for the problem ? I am kind of facing the same problem :crying::crying::crying: . The lightning screen shows up and then charging screen shows up for 2 cycles and then it goes back to lightning screen .
Regards,
Tas

A bit late, but I always put my phone in a zip lock bag while biking. Thought if it after seeing condensation on the screen after a few hours on the bike. You can still interact with the touch screen without removing. Best of luck getting things up and running.

Last night my phone died after 2 days off cable due to me having to use my cord for another device. I plugged it in today to find that it wasn't charging at all. I decided to give it a few minutes before trying, thinking it may not be turning on because it still needs some juice. I waited 30 minutes and it wouldn't turn on still, just gave me the little animation of a battery draining to indicate that it needs to be charged. After this, I figured that it's possible the cable is just dead, so I opted to borrow a cable from my brother. The cable charges his phone just fine, but it doesn't work with charging my phone. I took a shower while waiting for it to perhaps get the juice it needed, and still no dice. I tried several different outlets thinking perhaps the outlet was dead, and still nothing.
I've had the phone for a little over a month, so I'm not sure how long I have to turn it in or not; I'd hope it'd be 3 months for factory issues, but judging from how people mention 14 days, I'd assume that they're eager to push responsibility of broken devices onto the customer as fast as they can. Do you guys have any idea of what could be wrong? Perhaps if it's possible for me to get a replacement at this point?
I've been running the Lifeless v.11 Rom for a while with no issues, I haven't flashed anything in possibly a week or two, so I honestly doubt this is a software issue. It's never been exposed to water, but then again I really don't trust phones to detect if they've been damaged or not since it seems even a humid day is enough for those small water damage detection stickers to run pink.

Pull your battery, try again
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Yea, going to update this. Sprint was giving me issues and trying to cough up money from me, so I pulled the battery and cleaned the port with a q-tip and it charged fine again. I was in for a scare there, but it's back to life.
Same problem...didn't have to pull battery

Just wanted to chime in with my experience.
I had same issue. Battery completely drained with a visit to the relatives (low cell signal).
Got home and plugged it in for 5min, the "battery charging" animation came on when short pressing the power button.
Had to move the phone to a different charger for the night and noticed that I couldn't get it to even show the charging animation while on the charger. Indeed after 8 hours on the charger the next morning it still wouldn't turn on. I thought I would have to take it back to Best Buy. On a whim, I thought I would drain all of the capacitance from the system by pressing and holding the power button to see if that would allow it to restart the charge cycle. So I held the power button for about 30-45sec off the charger, then waited about 30min and plugged it in at work.
It worked. Not sure why, but I didn't have to return it to Best Buy, so I'm happy.
Okay, this is a weird one that I researched and researched on the web. I think the problem is somehow related to the USB port. It would seem that my handset thinks it is always charging. I should qualify that statement by saying that with the handset unplugged from the charger and checking the SETTINGS > BATTERY stats it says "0 seconds on the battery" presumably meaning that the handset thinks it has a freshly charged battery and no time has expired since removal of the charger. However, it knows it isn't charging because it also says "89% Not charging". The other weird thing is the handset doesn't screen timeout when unplugged from the charger. That is, I have to hit the lock button to turn the screen off otherwise the 15 second delay doesn't work. I've also checked the developer settings to verify it isn't set to force the screen to stay on. However, the 15 second screen timeout delay works perfectly when the handset is plugged into the charger. After 15 seconds the screen shuts off and the red LED charging light comes on. Lastly, with the handset sitting idle with the screen black if I receive a phone call or text message but just leave the handset sitting there the screen lights up but it never times out after 15 seconds.
Any ideas if this is a USB port problem. I know it sounds like a firmware problem but I've checked just about everything you can think of. I've gone as far as to root my phone, backup all my stuff, then re-flash JellyBean. Speaking of USB port. Has anyone changed one out on a S2 Epic Touch 4G? I know that other S2's have a USB flex cable assembly but I can't seem to find one for this particular handset.

I had tried the toothpick trick that you and others had recommended. In fact it did make a positive difference but I still noticed there were still some strange things going on. I went back a second time but this time with a sewing needle and some magnifier glasses and picked it clean of lint and other junk. Of course with was done with the battery uninstalled. I think I'm back and up and running. We'll see if any of the problems come back. Thanks!

My aunt has a device with the exact same problem. It goes doo-doop like you connected the charger. And you can't turn it off ever because it gets on again. Did you fix it?

Using the toothpick/needle trick went a long way towards getting it to behave properly. Like you said, it was doing the "do-doop" thing intermittently and sometimes it would go into and out of charging mode so fast that unless you were astute you wouldn't have realized that what it did. To figure it out I went into SETTING > BATTERY and observed that the "discharge time" on the battery would typically stay at 3 seconds which told me the phone thought it had been plug into the charger.
For the last two days it would seem that I have fixed the problem. After you carefully clean out the USB port of lint and junk with a toothpick and a magnifying glass or readers you may also want to consider getting a can of compressed air to blast it clean. I'm talking about the kind of compressed air sold at Walmart or Office Depot that is used to clean electronic equipment to blast the dust away.
Let us know if you get it fixed!
I don't know if cleaning the USB port had an effect on battery time but I'm getting relatively awesome battery performance like I've never seen before. After 12 hours and very light use the cell phone still has 81% battery left on it. It used to be sitting at around 30% by this time in the day.
think im having this problem. thinking its a damaged usb port. old battery everytime you stick the battery in or plug it in it thinks its charging. new battery i just ordered does the same too. its still charging so ill see what happens after but i say charging port probably?

I went through the same exact thing...ordered a new battery thinking the original battery was at the end of its life and causing the phone to behave strangely. With the new battery in place the craziness continued. I was thinking the micro USB was damaged and needed to be replace which BTW isn't an easy thing to change out like some of the other Galaxy phones because the S2 uses surface mount solder connections. You'll need very good eyesight and professional soldier skills to do it right without effing it up. Luckily, doing an extensive cleaning of the USB port fixed the problem. You wouldn't think lint would be conductive enough to cause a problem but alas, it does. Use a toothpick and compressed computer cleaner air with the battery removed when you clean it.
I'll have to try with the toothpick later. It's weird when you go into setting and look at battery it knows when it's on charge and when not on charge. But soon as you put a battery in, it turns on by its self but to the charging screen and can't be turned on unless both charger and battery are in.
Will the battery percentage read accurate still I wonder?

Yup, that is exactly what I saw when I was having the problem. Basically what that screen shot is telling me is 13 seconds ago your cell phone made the "doo-doop" sound as a temporary short within the USB port fooled the cell phone into thinking it had the charger plugged in but just as fast as it thought the charger was plugged in the temporary short went away. In fact the "short" may have come and gone so fast as make it so that "doo-doop" isn't even heard. The key here in recognizing the problem is that while your charge may have been unplugged for hours you'll note the number of seconds that have gone by since the cell phone thought it was charging will be somewhere well under 60 seconds or at least that is what I experienced. I have every confidence that you have the same exact problem and you just need to thoroughly clean that USB port of every speck of lint and dust. Also, make sure your charger USB is clean and lastly make sure none of the pins on the USB connectors is bent and that that middle portion on the cell phone USB is right in the middle and not bent up or down in any fashion.

BTW, don't forget...if the phone doesn't seem to want to power up hold the VOLUME UP and the POWER buttons at the same time for 15 seconds until you get the reboot option.

I'm in the same boat now [emoji22] Just happened a couple nights ago... Phone is plugged in but not charging. Not that big a deal, as I just got some spare batteries and external chargers. But now I've got to be super-cautious when flashing stuff, as I can't just Odin back without working USB

That's what I'm stuck doing now. I'm not gonna be switching roms anymore lol. Had to buy a universal charger for the battery
I had this issue with mine as well. At first it seemed to be the recovery but I reverted to stock unroot and it still happened sometimes shine blue to make it think it was completely charged I know this phone had a lot of hardware issues. And then I took it apart cleaned it and what not. It still happened. So after some time it just stop happening and functioned normally. I am unsure what the problem was or why it happened. The whole time I really couldn't charge my phone at all unless it was by computer only
I picked up my Note 10+ about 3 weeks ago. Last Friday I ran my battery to 6% before I got to my car where I had a charger. Finally plugged in my phone and it was charging extremely slow (1-2% in 20 minutes of driving, no usage screen off). I have a duel USB plug, so I switched to the other plug. Right when I plugged it into the other one, I got the moisture detected error. Restarted the phone, and right at boot there's a notification talking about waiting for connection to a PC or something. It's never been connected to a computer mind you. The moisture detected error hasn't gone away since. I've gone as far as doing a full factory reset.
My question is; is there a fix or do I have to call Samsung for a hardware issue?
This sounds like maybe some dirt got inside USB port and is shorting a pin, or lint makes bad connection? Before resetting or doing something drastic first I would try another wire, then I would blow some clean, dry air into USB port to clean it. Use flash light, maybe can see some obstruction? If that don't work clear cache, then reset, then trip to Samsung in that order. This is all assuming the USB port is not actually wet, but I guess that would be the first thing and already checked.

You probably got the phone wet. That should go away after a day or so, it's Samsung's safeguard against damage to the phone but it definitely is annoying. When I had my S8+ I would get that every so often after being in the pool with it. I always used wireless charging so the error never bothered me.

This is a long known issue since type c ports appeared, at least with samsung S and note devices, I encounterd it in my note 7 and 8, it is very hot and humid where I live, any lint or tiny piece of debris can collect moisture, in my case I just cleaned the port by blowing air into it, on a regular basis
I experienced this behavior with my old Note 9 now and then. There was no moisture. The only solution was restart.
I had this problem on my note 9.. Did blow dry.. Factory reset.. Changing charger cable n every possible solution mentioned online.. Dint help..
Middle of a night some weird idea struck suddenly! i WASHED the usb port under running water.. Let it dry till morning n plugged the charger.. Voila! Problem gone that never returned!
This is what happened to me on my Note 9. I found this solution somewhere but can't remember where.
Go to Settings>Apps>Go To Menu Icon and select Show System Apps>scroll to USBSettings>Click storage>Clear Data & Cache.
Hope this helps.
note 10+ got an update last night and after that this message hasnt went away. Ive tried every solution here different cable, alcohol, toothpick, qtips, clearing cache on USB settings EVERYTHING. Nothing has worked how do I disable this stupid ****. The alarm is annoying and my phone is now at 5%.
Anyone?

You've gotta give XDA users a little more than 2 hours...
If your hardware is faulty, which it now unfortunately sounds like, your only option is to speak to Samsung.
If the port is dry and free from debis, there isn't much else to do.
Spammy is at it again, Anyway to remove the charing notification that dims the screen and appears in the middle of the screen?
Charing cable is loose and when driving it keeps dimming the screen while trying to use GPS, man Spammy your a big time FAILURE !!
Just ran into this problem tonight.....googled, tried all the force close/clear data etc solutions and none worked....then stumbled across my post on the 1st page....did that and it instantly worked......
Power off phone, connect charger and then (instantly) press power button for 2 or 3 seconds...(in my experience, hold it for less time then would constitute a boot up sequence) ....it then immediately showed the "powered off" charging ring with percentage.. then i did a longer press to get it to boot....all is well now, charging again.

Best to use distilled or RO water.
A anhydrous isopropyl chaser rinse afterwards perhaps as well.
The warning is a good safety feature; charging with wet contacts can greatly accelerant corrosion and short out or damage contact surfaces. Sweat has a lot of sodium chloride in it too, not what you want to have on 2 metal surfaces with a voltage potential between them.
I had it activate once from rain. Lol, no port cover.
Carefully used a blower bulb to help it dry. The warning normally should clear once the moisture is gone. Do not use high pressure compressed air.
Low pressure, dry air will most times do the trick if mere moisture exposure is the cause.

This is what happened to me on my Note 9. I found this solution somewhere but can't remember where.
Go to Settings>Apps>Go To Menu Icon and select Show System Apps>scroll to USBSettings>Click storage>Clear Data & Cache.
Hope this helps.

Just ran into this problem tonight.....googled, tried all the force close/clear data etc solutions and none worked....then stumbled across my post on the 1st page....did that and it instantly worked......
Power off phone, connect charger and then (instantly) press power button for 2 or 3 seconds...(in my experience, hold it for less time then would constitute a boot up sequence) ....it then immediately showed the "powered off" charging ring with percentage.. then i did a longer press to get it to boot....all is well now, charging again.

That's crazy, I've also tried everything, (cleaning, resetting etc) and nothing worked, but this tip worked. I had to try 3/4 times because the timing is very important but right now is charging, let's see if it will last or the problem will come back again.
In the meanwhile, thanks man!
I solved it going to download mode, disconnecting device, restarted and connected to the battery charger...
it's very strange

One more thing to note (ha!)
The other day when i had this issue and fixed it, it happened again....after resetting it a 2nd time i plugged in and slightly wiggled charger plug....and sure enough it popped up again.....i immediately assumed my charging port was going bad...while Google-ing the replacement method i stumbled across a YouTube video where the guy mentions using a pin to "dig" around the sides of the charging port...and sure enough out popped a good amount of pocket lint...once cleared out, no more wiggling and no more error....So definitely give that a shot if the problem seems to persist after clearing the message. Saved me a headache and some dough!
