Yes, unfortunately it is a known hardware issue. Over time, the charging port starts coming loose. Like mentioned above, you CAN fix it yourself. There are video tutorials on YouTube and the replacement part can be had for under $10. If your device is still under warranty, Verizon will replace the phone. If it's not under warranty (or if you just want to give it a go), the port replacement process is pretty straightforward.

I might give it a try. Does anybody have a video or a link?
The weird thing is, that the battery is discharging very fast, could it be just a bad battery?

Could b the back door on your inc 2. I believe you need the back door on to charge cuz it goes thru contacts on the back. I dropped mine one day and charging and getting signal was almost impossible till I figured that out and bought a new one

Ok.
Seems to charge now. Won't touch it until it is full. After that I will check what is going on.
I don't know where this issue came from.never dropped it nothing. It was even in a Otterbox

The issue stems from regular use. The charging port is essentially held in place only by the connections to the board. Repeatedly plugging and unplugging the power cable causes it to break over time.

actually just replaced the charger port on my incredible 2 today. It really wasn't that difficult at all. If you have any questions feel free to PM me

yeah it has to be replaced. happened to me last month. It's honestly like the worst flaw with this phone

Def need to replace it. Same issues I was having at one point with it randomly taking charge. I found that if the charger is plugged in a held a certain level ( i placed the phone on a flat surface with a book under the cord for leverage) it would charge just fine.
If you are rooted and sending back, make sure you revert to stock to avoid any annoyances.

I've managed to solve this issue without messing around with the phone's innards (the last time I did it was a disaster and I was forced to buy an entirely new phone). It's not pretty, but if you twist a rubber band around the micro usb end of your charger, plug your phone in, twist that same rubber band around the phone itself, and make sure the connection very tight, you might get some more life out of your charger port.
Ugh. I can't wait for my upgrade.

Nice name there Dave.

While, I give you major kudos points for MacGuyver-ing a solution, that's more of a quick band-aid than a real fix. I could imagine having a rubber band around the phone could potentially hinder usage.
But hey, way to think outside the box! :good:

Thank you. You're telling me. Do you know how hard it is to use a touch screen with a rubber band across it? Oy.
Right. The caveat here, of course, is that this technique will only help charge your phone until the charging port becomes so disconnected from the board that no amount of force will reestablish this contact. And this will inevitably happen because you're going to keep plugging and unplugging your phone from the charger which is what created the issue in the first place.
If you know you have big, sweaty, idiot hands (like me) that are going to destroy your phone if you take it apart (like me) and you can tough it out: more power to you. The other alternative is to buy an external battery charger and a second battery. The disadvantages here are pretty obvious (e.g. you have to carry a second battery around; if you forget a second battery, you can't ask another Android user to borrow their phone charger, etc.).

[Q] N7100 Suddenly Won't Charge - Ideas?

Hi all, I'm pretty lost here. My Note II (N7100) suddenly won't charge. Earlier today it charged just fine. I've only ever run stock with root on it. It's not the charger, it's not the cable. I've tried many of both, all of which worked before, none of which work now. I flashed back to stock recovery and did a factory reset, and the problem persists.
When I plug it into a charger while off, briefly a gray battery screen with what looks like a stationary 'wait spinner' will pop up and then the screen will turn back off again. I know the USB port is not totally FUBARed, because I can flash it with heimdall in Linux. It shows up in lsusb when in the bootloader, but not otherwise. The port is pretty much spotless, especially compared with that on my GNex, which still works fine.
I've tried leaving the battery out for an hour, holding the power button, etc. It almost seems like a problem that could be solved by discharging some capacitors, but battery pulls always solved those on my Galaxy Nexus.
Any thoughts on other things I can try?
I can't even figure out how to contact Samsung support in case this is somehow a warranty/hardware issue. At least on their US site the N7100 isn't even an option in the pulldowns they want me to go through.

After some calls to Samsung USA and Canada, I gave up. Apparently the phone is from the UAE, for which Samsung USA has no phone number, and their repair centers won't touch it if it's international. This is really stupid and I plan to write to Samsung about it. It had only been three weeks since I ordered it, so I am returning it to the Amazon seller for a refund. I'll let them deal with their supplier in UAE I guess. I hate to do that, but it seems to be a hardware problem and I have no other recourse at this point.

I cant really help here but i wanted to let you know i had the same problem with a white note 2 from Carphone Warehouse in the UK, just stopped charging after owning the phone for 2 days (i had also only rooted and running stock rom).
Carphone warehouse replaced the handset for me and havent had a problem with the new one so far but its made me take extra care when plugging or unplugging the usb cable ( i use Airdroid for file transfers now). I guess there must be a defect with a limited few usb ports on the note 2.
I thought it might be a 3rd party usb cable to blame (i use a blackberry usb cable at work but ive stopped that now and only use the official Samsung cable).
Sorry i cant help just wanted to share my experiences, hope you get it sorted, good luck!

Thanks for chiming in Steve, good to know I'm not the only one. I saw another post on here like that too, maybe it was yours? There was no discussion. The strange thing is ODIN worked just fine. Maybe a loose connection only on one/both of the power pins?

Nah it wasn't me mate, I had just put it down to me being heavy handed and thought nothing more of it till I saw your post.
I've seen a post in the Jellybam thread today about the charging being down to software but I don't know how true this is as i've yet to check the facts.
Did you manage to get it replaced? I remember it was the worst feeling in the world when the realization hit that my phone wouldn't charge.

Yeah I just invoked the Amazon.com return policy, sent it back for a refund, and ordered another one. It was supposed to arrive today, but apparently UPS had some kind of mechanical issue and now it's delayed until tomorrow. I just need it to get here before my next month's Verizon plan bills so I can cancel before paying another month.

Sorry to drag up an old thread but this has just happened to me, EXACTLY the same as OP.
I've reset it, wiped everything, re-flashed latest stock firmware. Tried 3 different cables and two different chargers.
Pretty sure the battery is good because if I take it out of the phone and charge it on the dock, it works fine. If I then put the battery back into the phone, the phones works in every way except it wont charge
I have most of my digital life on this thing, I am so screwed without it. Look like its a warranty repair job then? Ive had the phone about 3 months from Phones 4U :crying:

Happened to mine to T-mobile version. Never dropped it, never got it wet, only 1.5 months old.
WTF? Seriously?
Behavior:
Charges sometimes.
Charge sometimes stops at 70% or less.
Screen sensitivity screws up sometimes.
Data constantly being transmitted whether WiFi or cell network.
Never dropped.
Never wet.
Never harshly impacted.
Never rooted.
Tried factory reset.
Tried pulling battery.
Tried different chargers and cables.
Wondering if the trident aegis case put too much pressure on the charger cable by pushing it sideways with the flap.
Any ideas?

Hardware problem.

Check in the box, and if you have an EROS Group sticker on it that means it's covered under warranty here in Dubai, UAE as they are the main distributor here for Samsung products.

This happened to me yesterday after spilling tea on it. I took the device apart as per this video, checked the connectors and reassembled it. Voila, the charger is working again. Obviously I take no responsibility etc etc.

My Samsung Galaxy Note 2 wont charge
I have also had this problem where my galaxy note 2 wont charge. I have tried all the chargers i have used successfully in the past and none of them will charge it now. I had the problem some weeks ago and now it has happened again. I only purchased the phone in January 2013. It is very frustrating. I have never dropped my phone or damaged it in any way what so ever. I have no idea what the problem could be but i will be taking it back to Telstra as i need it sorted out.

Same problem here - is this a generic problem with the Note 2??
I always put my phone on charge overnight , woke up yesterday and it hadn't charged. Swapped batteries - no problem - then put original battery back in, hey presto, charging!
But since then both batteries have run out and I couldn't get either to take any charge. Got it plugged in now and just like other people I've got a static charging ring showing, And no power.
Bought an external charger to try and get round this, but has anyone come up with a proper solution??

Strange...
a mate of mine just mentioned to me today that his note was charging strangely recently, apparantly he took an air gun (on low setting) to the charging port to blast out any miniscule dust n stuff and that fixed it!
Seems they're very sensitive and the smallest thing can make it act strange

Thanks for the tip, Pavpev - I gave it a try but still nothing. Perhaps my phone is super-sensitive!

It happne to my note 2 as well
I had to give it for repair to service center now i just want to know what triggered it and how to prevent it..................

[Q] Touchscreen behaves erratically when charging

Hey All
Today I picked up an HTC One M8.
Have set it up and only had it up and running for a few hours.
I plugged it in to charge using the charger that came with it and noticed that the screen would become erratic. Phantom touches would register making it very hard to use. Have tried it in different sockets but the issue remains.
I have tried a spare charger that I have in the house and the issue is not present.I know the HTC charger is a little different in that it supports some kind of quick charger, so its not really a like for like swap I guess.
Is there a chance that the included charger is faulty? Or could the phone be at fault?
I really don't want to have to return it but will it it looks like its the phone that has an issue.
Thanks

Well, at this point its hard to guess from here. Can you upload some snaps/videos ? It would be helpful for anyone who visits the thread. It doesn't take much time either. :good:

Yeah it's brand new. Phone is fine off charge and when using other charges. It's just the stock charger tat seems to cause issues.

Do you have a case on your phone? I have a UAG case and the charger sometimes doesn't fully click leading to that behaviour. Without the case there is no problem using the phone while charging.

Maybe the stock charger is faulty. Probably the wires has lost continuity.

I have the same issue with a unofficial charger (2.0A).
No issue with original charger (1.5A)

You are not alone
I also have a HTC One M8 with the same problem!
I have to disconnect the USB cable so that I can use the phone correctly without 'phantom touches' activating things I didn't want.
A classic example is pressing the back button will more often than not take me to google now. It's not supposed to do that. It only ever does this when charging.
Also when using any app the phantom touches will activate things I didn't want it to. Some apps will indicate which button you clicked and this is the perfect way to see this problem in action, because buttons will be clicking that you didn't even touch.
It's almost like the touch screen becomes ridiculously sensitive and even just a touch of breeze from a fan can activate a phantom touch.
My phone has done this since brand new. I've had the phone for around 3 months now. There was a software update since I had the phone and it didn't fix the problem.
It does this for me with the stock USB cable, samsung USB cable, generic USB cable, charging from AC/PC/Car it doesn't matter.
It even has the problem when the battery is at 100% with the cable connected.
The only way to accurately use the phone is to unplug the cable!

Erratic Touch on Verizon HTC One M8
This has been driving me mad.
Got Verizon Variant Red HTC One M8 near the beginning of August.
I bought a spigen clear case, a longer usb cable, and a 2AMP charger to use at work. I was chewing through the battery while playing Clash of Clans on it at work.
I pretty much always turn on visual feedback for touch on my smartphone now and noticed sometimes while playing Clash I would see multiple touches go in a horizontal line across my screen (if you do not know you play clash of clans in a horizontal position so technically the lines would run vertically down the phone)
I also have a tempered glass screen on my phone so I figured it was some kind of freak nuance with the case pushing the glass or something.
Bought a UAG Case for my phone, few days later I notice the same behavior, bought cases have a small "lip" to protect the screen if you drop the phone face down, I again figured this must be the culprit and bought a new case.
Barely there Clear case by casemate, I have had the case for 3 days and today is my first day at work since, immediately upon connecting my charger I noticed the erratic touch behavior.
At this point I realized it was never the case, it has to be something with charging in general or the specific charger I am using.
Anyone got any clue what is actually causing this issue?

Hi guys, any news?
I'm experiencing the same issue and this is driving me mad.
Experiencing this with different chargers. My cover is a Spigen Ultra Hybrid Metal Slate...if I put it off, theres no problem while charging
Greetings from Switzerland

Hi guys,
I have faced the issue as well. In my case, if I charge the phone using the dot view case then the touchscreen behaves wrongly. However, if I charge the phone with no case at all it works fine.
Anyway after I flashed the latest firmware (.401.6) the problem is gone. What firmware do you have?
Cheers.

Hi Guys,
For anyone interested, I have just noticed that it happened depending on the charger also.
Cheers.

I have the same problem
Using htc one m8 developer edition 4.4.2. This issue comes with every charger. With or without case or screen protection.

Yep, I've noticed this issue as well. Any solution?

If it's brand new, take it back for a replacement. The sooner the better because the longer you wait, the more they may think it is user caused.

I just got my phone replaced due to bad mic. I had a brand new one on release day and now I got a refurb both suffered the same issues. It's not always that it does it but it certainly pisses you off. Same symptoms as the op describes, I have yet to find a permanent solution.

This is so super irritating. I feel you. I just found out though that it occurs when I have my case on.. So whenever i use the phone when I'm charging I have to pull the case off. It really doesn't make any sense lol but this is my workaround for this bug.

I also have the same problem
It seems to occur when the phone is close to full charge. Every app goes crazy. When I unplug the charger it returns to normal.

I have the same issue with mine; I found a website which said to do the following:
Using two fingers swipe down on the status bar then touch the gear icon > Display & Gestures > G-Sensor calibration
Place your phone on a flat surface then touch Calibrate.
After the calibration process has finished tap Ok.
You should also calibrate the finger touch on your screen to deal with the keyboard issue.
Open “Settings” and go to “Language and Keyboard”
Tap “HTC Sense Input”
Tap “Advanced”
Tap “Calibration tool” (Calibrate your screen for a better touch experience)
Now you are asked to type the given sentence
One done, Calibration Complete message appears
Hit “Reset Calibration” to reset screen to factory default

It's still present, but it hasn't been as bad - I turned on the visual feedback in the developers settings, and you can watch the cursor fly all about the screen like it's possessed!

Same issue here, on the latest software. This is my second m8 with the same issues.

[Q] Back buttons stopped working

What the title says. The phone seemed to turn itself off a few times today, and now my rear buttons don't do anything. The phone itself works totally fine otherwise, and is currently charging. I have a case and didn't drop it or anything today. Ideas?

Removed the battery and when I put it back in it seemed to work. Not sure what the software issue is, but it had been acting strange today and I'm thinking it might have something to do with my 3rd party charger. Not sure what else to attribute it to but I might stop using it. I'll update if anything comes up.

For sure there are different scenarios wherein those buttons won't work. Anyway, are using the buttons often? or do you hardly press the buttons? If it's new and still under LG warranty, get a replacement. Or before that, do a factory reset (hard reset). Based on my experience, if you decide to buy an expensive phone such as the G3, make sure the accessories are original as these affect the performance of the phone (points out to your 3rd party charger).

Wireless Charging no longer works after recent update - Galaxy Note 10 Plus

I have a factory unlocked SM-N975U1 Note 10+, using on AT&T's network. It recently had an update pushed to it (early April 2022) that I let install before I went to sleep, then the next day found that wireless charging no longer works. I suspect the update is the culprit - so a software glitch. I have tried everything listed here: https://tinyurl.com/yckk9mmr by The Droid Guy, from rebooting to refreshing the system cache, to no avail. The wireless charger in my truck, on my desk at home, and my husband's wireless charger - all of with which it worked perfectly before the update to charge the phone - all recognize the phone is there but the LED on each begins to flash rapidly, so I am certain it is something with the phone. I am about to try to root the phone so I can install Titanium Backup or try Nandroid then do a factory reset. Short of that option of last resort, do any of you have any idea what else could possibly be the issue here? The only other thing I can think of would be the fact that the back glass is cracked, but has been for a while now, so while I could see correlation, I do not see causation. But I am by no means anywhere close to being an expert, so I may be wrong on that point. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I do not want to incur the expense of a repair from Samsung, and am considering perhaps just getting a Qi receiver - the type you'd add to a phone between the phone and case to add wireless charging to any phone. If nothing else, if you have any recommendations on that point as well they would be most welcome.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

Could be a battery failure. Get the rear cover replaced and the phone inspected for damage.
Replaced battery if it capacity is less than 80% of when new ie SOT.
Updates can break things and make troubleshooting more difficult. This could've been caused by the update or be purely coincidental.

What happens when you charge with the usb c cable? Any warning message?

Is Samsung replacing these phones for this issue? I am so irritated. Just press the back of the phone hard and it will work again??? I remember the Fonz hitting the jukebox on Happy Days, but seriously on a $1,000 phone? Gimme a break.
I just had the same problem. Is this really a thing? I can't believe this is a known issue. I followed pressing just below the camera to the right of the back and now it works.
(see the post I found below).
There seems to be a problem with the wireless assembly’s contact to the
mother board which has a temp sensor attached. Give your phone a gentle
press on the back just under the camera and a little bit to the right.
This is just a temporary fix as the wireless charger will probably lose
contact again. Hope this helps.

My Galaxy Note10+ quit wirelessly charging yesterday. I tried this and it worked! Thanks!

If I recall correctly the coil for wireless charging on the N10+ is connected by a ribbon cable. It may have become detached. Unlike the contact points Samsung used for the GPS antenna like on the S4 they should not fail.
Always use a good case to protect the N10+ from high G loading during drops as they can damaged the mobo or knock connectors loose even if there's no apparent outside damage. These are relatively heavy phones that wuv to corner impact when dropped.

Thank you for responding!
Weird, I have never dropped it. Its brand new and I have a good case on it at all times. Maybe it was just loose to begin with? Will this fix it for good as long as it doesn't get jarred loose?
So you are saying the contact points like the S4 would fail and this ribbon cable should not fail, just can come loose?
What does "wuv to corner impact" mean?

The S4 had point contacts that were held in place by pressure and could corrode over time, completely different from a ribbon connector.
Whatever is loose or broken will likely need to be serviced eventually.
I wouldn't sweat, I never used wireless charging on my N10+'s, don't even know if it works. Cable charging is superior, faster and the C port socket on the N10+ is robust. Good for many thousands of cycles.

Would pressing harder on the recommended spot possibly get it to mount down firmly to where it wont have constant problems? Or will it just get worse?

Have the rear cover pulled and see what you got.
The coil assembly may have failed.
If the battery is near 80% of its original capacity then replace that then too. This phone is too valuable to be mucking with it by pressing on the rear cover... not a good plan.

So guess what? I had recently purchased this unit as NEW, Sealed with 1 year factory warranty with on eBay. Seller had good feedback so I thought I could trust them. I was so perturbed with this charging issue after only have it for two weeks that I got with Samsung Support. I figured I was covered since it was new, sealed and had a 1 year warranty with Samsung. They verified that this phone was activated April of 2020 and the warranty expired April 2021. He also said he can see that the battery life has been used to where it only has about 50% of the potency it had when it was new. Total fraud!!!

Contact your bank and see if you can return it and have the bank do a charge back. Your state attorney general's office may be able to help as well but I would go with the first option and a full cash refund.
I do know a reliable vendor for new ones if you need that contact. I've used them. A1.

Thank you, I sure do appreciate that. Yes, I would love your contact if you would be so kind.
