Hi all,
I am having strange problems with my Galaxy Note since yesterday.
Switches to MTP automatically without connecting to PC.
Shows that it is plugged into charger and starts charging, without really plugging it to the charger.
Scans sd-card for files
Automatically turns on the screen and when I press power button it powers off completely. Still the phone keeps heating at back.
One time the phone froze and I had to remove the battery.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance.
Please note that I have unrooted and stocked phone.
I found a similar post for S2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161875).
Thanks in advance.
Your usb port has probably got some dirt in it. You can try using nail polish and something like a toothbrush To clean it. I did this, but it only worked temporarily for me. I had to send it in after that and they fixed it, covered by my warranty. Good luck!

Thanks. Don't you think nail polish remover may harm the internals.
Just let it dry for at least 20 minutes before you use it afterwards. And if you are worried. Then don't use too much of it If you search the forum for car mode/voice/usb issues, you will see alot of people have the same problem. And the brushing helped for alot of them. I am no expert though. So search around abit and see what you find!

Had the same issue a couple weeks ago. Read this thread, most likely
the same issue.

Guys if cleaning the usb port aint working then we have to find other ways to indirectly stop problems.
Problem: Driving Mode goes on/off automatically, causing battery drain
Reason: Phone thinks its connected to a dock
Solution:When phone thinks its connected to a dock, it switches to car mode. This is a default action. What if we are able to disable this default action, so even if the phone thinks its connected to a car, it wont switch driving mode on! There are 2 ways to achieve this.
1.Someone please explain how to disable the inbuilt driving mode in galaxy phones.
2.Another app, which overrides the inbuilt one, which can be disabled temporarily!
Problem:Battery not charging
Reason:Crazy USB port and ****ty samsung parts
Solution: External Charger!(Optional: +1 Battery)
Keep thinking of ways to overcome this guys, unfortunately the phones that face this problem are very expensive(S2,Note,Nexus etc.)
Hello, guys.. I'm having a real trouble with my Note. I bought it 3 months ago, but it seems that today's my "lucky" day and the microUSB connector isn't working anymore. At all. No charging, no "usb connected", no mass storage. It's not charging even when I turn off the phone and plug the charger.
So.. I guess I have to ask for a repair or a replacement. But here's the problem. I've changed both the kernel and the ROM and I have to restore the phone to it's original state before taking it to the service. I read the UNroot topic under the development section, but I didn't understand it well. I need to do it through the phone since I can't connect the device to my computer because of the malfunctioning microUSB port. I can't charge the battery either, so I'm stuck with only 36% power and I can't simply shoot in the dark. I turned the phone to save the power and I hope it should be enough to finish the operation, but I don't really know how to start it. I guess I have to download stock kernal and stock ROM and then flash it somehow (Mobile Odin!?), but I'm not sure and I really need your help.
Any help would be highly appreciated, I'll continue looking around for info.
10x in advance
a lot of users suggest others - who are having a similar problem with you, to try cleaning the usb port...

It looks clean. The cable is okay too. I'm working at Gameloft so we have lot's of micro-usb devices and they're working just fine with the exact same PC and cable.
Anyway, to be 100% sure - how to clean the port? I mean - it's so tiny little hole and there isn't any direct access to it.. But I think it's gone.. It randomly shows "charging" while the cable is not plugged at all. Then it stops.. and starts again.

Put stock rom on your external sd,install mobile odin pro from market and use it to flash the stock rom.And remember donot select ever root,inject su,inject mobile odin.And after it finish flashing,you can send it for service
Put a stock rom and then try cleaning the USB as someone suggested. My usb port would stop working at random and I cleaned the port with a toothbrush and it has worked ever since. That was 2-3 months ago.
Well, thanks guys.. I'll try the tooth-brush trick when I get home and if it fails to solve the problem, I'm gonna flash the stock ROM with MOP and take it to the service. I'll keep you posted.

Not a difference you "see" technically. From my understanding mobile Odin cannot touch bootloaders. Pc Odin can. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. From Chainfires first.post in his Mobile Odin thread, "While in theory Mobile ODIN can repartition and flash EFS and bootloaders, it will cowardly refuse to do so, for your own safety."

Try another usb cable. You might be able to find one that fit better to the Note.

Assumign that you have a micro SD in the slot-
Take the micro SD out and connect it to your computer. Or use airdroid for file transfer over wifi. Whichever way you use, create a folder called firmware and put the .md5 in the folder and flash it through CWM or mobile odin.

Not just my problems but many other paid users if you read the Market comments. I know you're not responsible but if you're QA like you said, technically you are.
Anilisali method will work btw.

I'm a WEB-Tester, not a game tester It's not my business at all. Anyway, I asked for your email address if you're willing to get some help from me. Send me a PM and I'll see what I can do for you.
I've searched and tried everything.. can't get my phone out of. Host mode... Some times it randomly works but then goes back.. I've wiped tried New rims.. nothing seems to work..
I can't put it back to stock if ish doesn't work either do I doubt they will cover the warranty..
Help? <3
Computer? USB Cable? USB Port? Drivers?
It detects everything in fastboot.. all drivers are installed.. it was working before a nd randomly dif this.
As I menioned in other threads I'm convinced that is either dirt or rust in the charge port. My HD2 died that way.and it was well documented that the problem was the charge port.
You can try a tookpick in the port to try to get dirt out but if it's rust I don't know...
I tried the toothick on mine and got some crap out, I also tried contact cleaner and didn't help either. My error is solid not random like yours I can only charge on wall charger.
I looked into the port with a magnifier and I can see some discoloration in one of the contacts but I don't want to try anything more radical at this moment because I cannot afford to be without phone.
Once I get past these couple of months I'll try to replace the charging port (fingers crossed it'll last that long...)
This is what I'm talking about...
The pics are not great but you can see the blueish spot there on the second to the left contact.
I'll try to clean the port later and report back

My stock rom M8 is answering and making calls in speaker mode all the time. Also, the home screen is allowed to rotate. I've read a bit about some other phones having this issue caused by a bad USB port. Has anyone reported issues like this with the M8? Plug in a USB cable and it's back to normal. The USB cable doesn't even have to be connected to anything on the other end for this to work. Unplug the USB and the screen comes on a couple seconds later with the issues back again. I'm hoping someone can tell me I don't have to replace my USB port to get it fixed.
Phone info:
Stock Sprint rom
Running ART (changed animation scales down to .5)
Only using 10B of 32GB of phone storage and 10.5GB of a 32GB SD
Factory reset the phone and it didn't fix
Using Tasker for managing Ringer profiles and mobile data connection
Chrome installed and updated
All phone updates are updated
Always use HTC charger and charging cord
Phone is babied (It sits in a case on a microfiber cloth on my desk at work )
HELP! My ears can't take anymore of the auto speaker mode.

Just kidding about the USB cable fixing it. I just tried it again and plugging it into USB is not fixing it anymore. BAHHH!

It looks like your phone thinks its always on "Car Mode". Some cleaning of the usb connector might be able to fix it.
There is an extra pin in the phone usb connector that detects when its connected to car dock,desktop craddle or in usb host mode.if something is bridging it to the ground pin, this can happen.

I cleaned it with part of a Q-tip and some glass cleaner, then probed around in there with a needle. Nothing looked dirty. I ran a usb cable in and out a few times to see if it would work something out of the way. I'm leaving it dry out now (just in case it's a little moist) and we'll see what happens.

Well good luck. At last resort you can always try to fully restore with RUU

I spoke to HTC and our last resort before sending it in is to re-flash the stock Sprint RUU. Are there instructions on that somewhere? Or, is it better to just root now that it's somewhat busted?

Hit the second link in my sig and read over the section about RUU's. Links to the latest RUU can be found at the bottom of the first post. There is info on the same page as the RUU on how to run it.
So I just unpacked and set up my new mini but straight away am having problems with it. Firstly, if I choose to restart it, it just turns off and the only way to get it going again is to unplug it and plug back in. Secondly, the USB ports randomly stop working so I lose mouse input. When this happens I also have to pull the power plug. This means the device is next to useless... Anybody here have any similar problems, or any advice for me?
First thought... you have a hardware conflic...
try a different mouse...
you could also... Try updating your unit to latest firmware...
goodluck
