Galaxy only boots on usb/adapter

Guys,
I have a problem with my samsung galaxy s i9000 it won't turn on.. When it is turned off and i press the power button a short animation of a battery comes up (2sec) and then it turns off again..
When the phone is connected to the adapter or usb it boots fine and works ok also when the cable is disconnected. Problems starts over again when the phone is turned off.
Im running froyo atm flashed official with kies..flashed it.. Clean install.. Before flashing the phone had the same problem. Problem started with the notification usb connected when the cable was not connected. That notification is gone.. But problem with booting remains..
Someone have a solution or just send it in for rma...

same problem here
I'm also having the same problem. Maybe something is wrong with the sgs usb driver. I think the charging symbol should only shown up, when usb is connected. Sometimes my sgs shows usb connected, but the cable has been removed far ago....
Any ideas how to fix this?

Captivate permanent bricked?

My phone is completely dead or bricked. Will not turn on at all, wont go into download mode. No led when plugged into charger. Its not a charger issue because i tried 2 different chargers and usb into computer. Android character with shovel came on for a little bit and turned off before it went completely dead. Any help?
I tried doing this: Pull out battery, start odin, plug in phone, hold volume buttons while putting in battery, but still no go.
Could it be a battery issue? Because no led when plugged in.

Try this
Bat, sim, ext sd out
Odin opened
Bat in
Hold vol up and down
Plug usb in
Or try a jig

which odin should i use? Im using Odin3 v1.3, is that ok?

Jig sounds like your only option at this point.

Good Luck

I had the same exact problem. Try pulling out the battery and leaving it out for a minute. Sounds like voodoo but once I put the battery back in and tried to go into download mode it worked.

At&t or rogers?
Build number, located under battery, mine is 1008?

AT&T Build number is 1012

I tried the resistor trick but no go. Help?

1) Are you getting any signs of life at all when you try to turn it on?
2) What were you doing that caused it to brick?

No, no sign of life at all when trying to turn it on. Led dont come on when charger is plugged in, tried 2 different chargers so its not a charger issue.

could be a dead battery issue, see if you can buy a charger and try that? or you might as well as just turn your phone in.

I know this is a longshot, but did you try plugging the chargers into a different plug?

Mine was bricked just this morning i jig it but use the micro usb fix with it its more simple

Ok I got it up and into download mode, but Odin wont recognize the phone, it wont connect.

Ok, WTF? I've got the same issue. Phone worked last night fine, plugged it into my computer to charge (it was at 25ish% battery and it was late) and went to bed. When I picked it up today it won't turn on. At all. It won't acknowledge a USB being connected in any way.
I did not attempt to flash, and I've been charging my phone in this manner every day for months. The *only* difference is that I forgot to grab it this morning on the way out the door, so instead of being taken off the charger at 7am it was taken off at 3pm. I'm running Cognition 2.38 and have been for a while. My computer's protected by a surge protector and it wasn't turned off or crash while I was plugged in.
When I plug it into the computer via USB I have zero response. I tried the same with my car charger and a wall charger, also with nothing.

[Q] Captivate shuts down when USB plugged in

The only similar question had no answers, so I'm going to give it another shot.
My wife's Captivate (Froyo, rooted) has suddenly developed a nasty habit of powering off whenever the USB cable is connected. The instant the cable is inserted the phone goes black. Unplug the cable, press "power" and the phone boots up fine.
1. She swears she didn't do anything (like dropping it) to cause the problem. And there doesn't appear to be any physical damage around the port.
2. The problem isn't limited to a single cable, and the phone used to work with all the cables tested,
3. While plugged in, the phone will not turn on but the battery will charge.
4. The phone works fine when unplugged.
5. Wiggling/torquing the connector has no effect.
-edit- 6. The phone doesn't die unless the standard USB end of the cable is connected. Just connecting a loose cable to the phone has no effect.
Any thoughts?

Since u posted edit 6.....maybe it is the usb port u r plugging into. Try another port or another pc, etc. Just thinkin process of elimination.

Thanks for the reply, but we can eliminate that. No matter what's on the other end--computer, charger, etc--it kills it.

Try a different battery, if ya got one. May be goin bad and then when u plug in the usb the voltage change triggers something. Idk...just guessin.
But it really sounds like the problem lies with the phone's micro usb port bein bad.

Whatever the problem was, it was fixed by updating from froyo to stock gingerbread.

Good deal. And thx for lettin us know that ya got it fixed.

Charging issues through USB Charger

Hi All,
Just purchased S3 LTE around a week back and noticed that there is an issue on charging the phone through a USB charger.
This handset came with Jelly Bean OS and had the version as 4.1.1. I purchased a third party USB charger and when connected from my Laptop to the mobile, it does not charge and nothing happens. However after experimenting, then noticed that if I restart the handphone then the charging automatically starts!
I believe this must be still an open issue in this version of handphone. Correct me if I am wrong.
If anyone has any solutions to overcome this issue, please share it with me here. I would highly thankful.
Thanks!

This is the first time I have heard of something like this
Phones have a minimum voltage required to charge them so it is probable that your computer is not supplying that
Try a different USB cable (may be faulty) and also try from a different USB port
It should work flawlessly when plugged into a power outlet
If it still doesn't work them do factory reset and if all else fails then warranty the *****

I can charge Ace only when it's turned off (more inside)

Yesterday i managed to resurrect my Ace after it's been bricked for months using a usb jig. I've installed cm-7-20130608-UNOFFICIAL-cooper and everything is perfect except for the fact that i can only charge it when it's turned off. Then i simply connect the charger, battery icon appears and i can turn on the phone. It will keep chargin. But only if i turn it off first, then plug the charger. If i just plug in the charger while Ace is on, nothing will happen. The same goes with usb connection. It's not a rom issue, because i had the same problem with the old rom. I tested it before i installed the new one. IMO usb port is not damaged, because otherwise it wouldn't charge at all, would it?
Hopefully someone will come with the solution

Why don't you flash a fresh stock? You could test this trouble on it and then you could try it in Cm7 again

Do you have original Samsung charger?
