[Q] Weired problem while charging Galaxy S - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Phone Info:
Model GT-I9000
FirmWare - 2.2
Baseband Version - I9000DDJP2
Kernel Version - 2.6.32.9
rootSE-S605#1
Build Number - Froyo DDJP6
HI Guys,
Im a Noob in the whole android rooting and modding business. Had my friends do it for me. However, here is a new problem that i would like some expert advise on. Above mentioned are my phone details. And here is the problem description:
When i use the normal wall socket charger for my phone, it shows the charging Icon, shows the status as AC charging, but the charge percentage does not increase at all. If it were 33%, it would go lower but won't climb a single percent. The battery also does not feel warmer(which does in usual circumstances during a phone charge).
Here is the funny bit, the moment I plugin the USB data cable and charge via my laptop it works.
USB debug Mode is off.
Kindly advise!

Is it the original cable ???? have you tryed another one.
I had many issue with cable not from SE when i had an x10

Does that not indicate that the wall charger is the probable culprit .

Thanks for your reply.
The same wall charger works fine on other phones, other galaxy S's, Micromax Android, Moto Rockers.

Agree with above.
Sounds like there is a hardware problem, whether the charger isn't providing enough power to the phone or something like that, it doesn't sound like something that would be caused by software.

I shall try the service center. thanks guys.

[Q]I cannot believe it just happened!About charging....

Holy God!
This kind of freak just happened to me !
You don't even want to know about it ,damn freaking
Today I JUST found my Milestone wouldn't charge connected to wall-charger with system's on.
This thing Only charges when it is on usb connected to laptop or pc ,what's more surperising is that you can charge this phone with its power down.
I have Googled the entire internet,negative result.
So PLEASE someone help me !
i would go to recovery menue and wipe the hole device, if that wont help, i would consider of using another android rom, there are so much good roms here, all better then the custom rom
maybe that helps

thx but all that u have mentioned is uesless,i even refleshed bootloader,did no help.
what do you mean everything he said its useless? have you tried reflashing SBF or just updating latest CM over (non-androidiani) OpenRecovery?
Because, it looks like its more of a custom rom problem than anything else?

Did it cross your mind that it could be the charger?
If chgarger supplies less than 500mA, phone will show charging but will not be able to top up battery. I would also recommend to try another charger.
You say that when phone is OFF it charges but not when ON? Than i can confirm what is the cause. Like somone mentioned before, charger does not support enough power. How i know this?
It also happens to me with my CAR charger. Phone only charges if it is OFF but not when it is ON. So gues you and i need a stronger charger. Or maybe it is just defective and was once working.
yeah, sounds like your charger is busted.
the only other thing i can think to try is go into the applications menu and clear the data for the app usb.apk and then force stop, then reboot.

i don't know,but the charger seems to work fine on any others,i've tried with my iphone and sony mp4 player,both good.
another problem i just found ,gave me a very bad feeling about this.
that is my phone's battery indictor now has only two levels,one is 20% the other is 50%,even if i charged the phone when it's off.
i've reflash variant sbfs, no help at all.
as i can see,usb service is running smoothly fine on each rom,original roms.
i tink ur charger is busted. try buyin a new charger and see wat happens. at the same time i tink sumtin is wron with ur battery too as you said that it shows only 20% and 50%. maybe ur charger also busted your battery.

Are you using the original charger that came with the device?
I have this problem with one of our non-original chargers. The screen does not respond as normal. Can't answer calls etc.
Try a different charger, original if possible. If it is the original one for sure then you may have something faulty with the pins, cable etc. If you don't have spare, ask around as the microusb chargers are pretty common these days and I'm sure someone won;t mind you testing to see if it is that.
Failing that, it might be your actual pin connections perhaps... make sure it's nice and clean in there.

I agree that this definitely sounds like a hardware problem. Does it do the same when you trickle charge the phone from the PC?

have you tried with different charger?
I wonder why try another charger?
I've had the same problem a year ago. I was able to fix the problem by pushing in the pins inside the charging port. However this only buys time. I was able to fix the problem completely by purchasing charging port from eBay with the same revision 1.0 ( in my case ). I was able to install the part in less than 10 minutes and the problem is solved
Had the same problem few days back I just inserted a small pin inside the charging port and bent the pin inside the charging port very little don't know will it help but worked for me just be careful don't apply too much pressure as it may damage the pin

Jesus i want to cry when Note users have this problem!. Its an USB port problem, not chargers, not software. You need to replace the whole USB Board (which is attached at the bottom of the motherboard). If you want a temporal solution turn off your phone, remove your battery and then clean your usb port with a thin brush and alcohol and leave it for 30 min. Then put your battery and charge your phone. Turn on and then unplug your cable, it should work fine for some time. Its a problem with the 75% of the Galaxy Notes in the world. Ive changed my port 2 times in only one year! I dont know why samsung did not put a slinding usb protector like some galaxy devices... sorry my bad english and good luck!
when I changed my usb port, I bought 2 in case. 2 usb ports cost me 18 dollars and change, shipped from China. took 2 weeks to arrive. must match the revision number which is written on the original board. mine was revision 1.0. took less than 10 minutes to install. problem solved.
maybe temporary but free

cured my phone of the same problem with a paint brush and proper contact cleaner ( NOT WD40 OR LIKE) in the usb charger hole.
stuff known technically as pocket fegg gets in and causes leakage across contacts. however, worst case is connector is damaged and needs replacing as above.
Get the port replaced.
I had a similar issue.
<drunkbabble>
My microusb car charger is constantly used by the many female microusb ports from my friends and hitchhikers.
So it had a loose contact with my phone now because the Galaxy Y 's were too tight.
And the it charges / not charges / charges ... at about 150 times a minute.
</drunkbabble>
In your case your port might have suffered or you have dirt at the contacts. Try blowing it out with canned air and look for any visual clues of damage.
Got this problem right now and its really annoying.
I nearly wanted to throw my phone at the wall because of the dumb low battery noise playing like 20000 times a second .
My Desire HD and crapberry also decided to break today too ffs .
Gonna send them off to get repaired in the morning, back to my good old reliable nokia 3310 in the mean time
i am having this issue for over a month now. i changed the battery too lately. was on CM 10.1 and thought it was a ROM issue but then i found it to be the same as i switched to stock ROM.
And it would be real helpful if anyone of you guys could let me know how much changing the usb port cost me.
Clean It With A Little Whisky :]
cotton, dip it in a little whisky and then clean the usb port with a help of a needle/pin... worked for me :]
*make sure your phone is turned off and the battery is out while you do this application*
try and clean your charger as well.. Cheers!
Charging port issue!
I had exactly the same issue on my Galaxy Note-1. and stumbled across this thread. It confirmed the suspicions I already had. So I got my charging port changed. The phone is back to normal!

Charging problem :( i need help

Hi I have an international rooted Galaxy S-III i9305, bought it in June . The charging has been unstable, as in sometimes it would charge up just fine while sometimes it even discharges when charging. I went to the Samsung service center and they gave me a new charger without checking my phone. The problem persists. I borrowed another charger from a friend and the same thing happens. I bought a new port connector and same results ..
I came across an app in the XDA forum, Galaxy Charging Current. Tested it to realise that it's the phone problem it should show 1000ma but it show 1000ma sometimes and 500ma sometimes and 100ma sometimes ... , I had to keep reconnecting the charger to obtain an efficient charge and its not stable it change :\ :'( im really tired i hope you can help me .. I tryed to change my android version (4,4,4) and i flashed unofficial cm12 but no way

First, use imgur.com
Second, change your language to English, the French translations does not ditinguish between USB and AC charging (just for this test, you can revert after)
Then, plug in your wall charger. It should say Charging on AC or Charging on USB. Check it.

Looks like your USB port is about to die. Had mine to repair twice because my phone wouldn't charge or be recognized via PC. Pretty common issue of the S3.

I would check the USB cable first to see whether it is plug in correctly to the USB charge port of the S2. You should hear a click sound when it is plugged in right.
Nextly, check to see the USB cable end goes into the power adapter correctly. Most of the time it becomes loose and not plugged in right. It won't charge if this is the case.
Then, you should check to see the power adapter is working, or is it the one for the S2. Tablet takes more power, are using using the one that comes with it?
Seldom I have seen a tablet cannot be charged, only in my Xperia Z2's battery which died on me after serving me 2 years.
