Info: Charging paused. Voltage too high
Couple of days back updated My GS Note to official ICS 4.03. Today morning, suddenly after removing charger, facing a problem. every few seconds it beep with message " Info: Charging paused. Voltage too high".
When I reconnect charger or USB, there is no issue at all. But after removing cable, the problem continues.
Not sure any other GS note user are facing same problem or not?
Shut down your phone and let it cool down may help

Shut down your phone remove the battery for some time (around half an hour). Also check there is no dirt in battery compartment or inside the charging port.
Flash any stock firmware if you are on any custom rom and take it to the nearest service center
There might be temporary fixes but permanent fixture would be to replace the usb docking port which need to be replaced...
hi bro,
happen to me n my friend as well. what i did is, clean the usb port. using a piece of paper, wipe clean the in between the connector.. also if the hair dryer is available, blow dry the port..
This happened to me earlier and it keeps bugging the hell out of me, then I remembered that earlier this morning I used my Pantech charging cradle before plugging it directly to the mini usb port and it started bugging me with the charging error....tried blowing on the port,using different chargers but when I tried using the pantech charging dock it stopped and charged normally.I guess this will have to do as of now
My friend had that happen to him because of dirty contacts on the phone/USB cable. Just blow it out good, or use a swab with alcohol to clean it.

I had this problem. There was a bit of pocket lint causing the issue. A swab with alcohol will do, but don't blow in there. Your breath has a lot of moisture in it. Those pins are sensitive and moisture can cause the "phantom car mode" issue.
Today I got this issue..
so I try to cleaning USB contact.
Hope this will help.
Thanks a lot..
isn't this because of some custom kernel that implemented some voltage changes?

Cleaning USB port worked
I removed the battery and used a little rubbing alcohol on a tiny brush (used to clean between teeth, a pickster). It rebooted and worked for a few minutes then the message came back.
Unfortunately I have seen this far too many times with Samsung phones. I once had a Skyrocket that had this issue, and then it wouldn't be recognized when plugged into the computer. Cleaned the port, used different cables, changed the rom etc. No dice.
My work phone (galaxy s2) started this yesterday. Then my Note was acting erratically while charged.
My best advise is to clean the port, and get another charger immediately. New cable/wall plug. My note is charging fine at home just not with the car charger (brand new Rocket fish). I'm lucky I caught it in time. Now my S2 is damaged.
I have also heard that the stock samsung chargers has a chip that detects when the phone is charged. Therefore using 3rd party chargers could therectically damage the phone.
Although I truely hate Apple phones, I think the 30 pin connector is far superior to micro USB. Too many problems.

It was the same for almost 3 weeks for me.. I bought "Charger Port Micro USB Connector Mic Flex Cable for Samsung Galaxy Note N7000" from ebay. This morning i received it. I replaced the part. Now it is perfect. Replacement this part is very easy. I bought it for 9 dolars.
This error is a hardware fault. So you have to replace the part. May be cleaning it solves the problem but it would be a temporary solution.
So you replaced the charging port on the note. It's good to know that is an option.
The cleaning of the USB port and then a full charge cycle using the Samsung original wall charger has fixed it for me. I have not had the error since.

hey
I'm having the same issue it looks like it really is the usb connector.
Anyway I don't have any warranty left so I'd like to give this a shot. Has this new charging port lasted? I hope it lasts longer than the one I got in my Note
Related
I tried different batteries, different cables and different chargers, but get no response whatsoever, even when using a USBjig. Can't get into recovery or download mode. ODIN doesn't find it.
I've been having problems with the microUSB port for a while (phantom USB), in which the phone thinks a charger / car dock is connected (whilst this is not the case). Not sure if they are related, though.
I was running RocketRom V1 (which ran great) when my note suddenly turned off and didn't respond to anything.
Two days later, whilst my supposedly dead note was connected to my PC, my note booted when I booted my pc (very, very odd). I immediately updated my rom to RocketRom v2. My note ran fine for a couple of hours. Then, again, it turned off and hasn't responded to anything since.
What options do I have left to fix my Note? Thanks!
Sounds like dodgy usb connector and therefor not charging properly, I'd get it looked at under warranty or there are a couple of threads here on how to replace the usb port yourself.

Thanks for the response, Spydertracks. I've send the phone to samsung for repairs, but my warranty was refused thanks to physical impact damage. I fail to see how this relates to my N7000's issues, especially since I haven't dropped my note and the problems started when it was lying on the table.
They didn't explain which part of the phone was damaged, by they did send me a picture of the insides of my phone. It shows a small square item (a sticker, perhaps), with 16 small x's on it. Is this a warranty sticker or something?
for now you can use an external battery charger and boot up your note,
also if its the USB connector in the phone, loads are available on selling websites that come with tool kit to do it yourself. videos on youtube as well.,

Thanks for the reply. I have ordered a USB module and will try to fix it myself. However, even with a fully charged battery my note won't boot. It does charge (and the battery heats up) in my Note, but it just won't boot or give any life signal (like a "charging" screen, vibration, whatsoever).

I would try cleaning the usb port with pure alcohol and a cotton bud. usually when it states a charging when not and switching between driving mode and not it points to dirty connectors. Battery is obviously not the issue as he's tried different ones. Only other thing would be to charge the battery on an external battery, that would show if the usb port has failed.

Thanks for the advice. Tried cleaning the port with alcohol and a cotton bud, didn't work. However, I did notice a high pitched sound coming from the charger when my N7000 was attached. This sound could not be heard when charging any other device (with that same charger), which might indicate a short-cirquit in the USB connector port in my Note. The phone (and the battery) do heat up slightly when the charger is connected, though.
I have ordered a UBS module, which will arrive in 2 weeks. I'll let you know if it worked.

Get a tight micro usb connector and connect and disconnect it to the note usb port. It should clean the port out. I had the same problem with my note.
I have tried 2 different micro usb connector but didn't help. I think there might be some problem in the internal circuit.

I am using stock rom and saw a new firmware upgrade last night, did it, and look like it has resolved the problem (last night), however, happened again, this morning.
I want to know if this is a "battery" related problem or "hardware"?

Does charging cut in and out when you wiggle the charger?
Does the issue happen when on battery alone? Screen flicker?

if the conditions cited by AndroidSlave occur then you just have to calibrate the battery with some complete charge cycle

I ve already advise a few guys on this , happening to lots of SGN now, (getting old lol) use a thin flat screw driver and gently lift the middle small plate at the charging port up (if u look closely its touching the bottom part of the port) then use small brush n alcohol n clean the port. Should take care of yr problem. Cheers

Can charges but not storing
SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE, could be able to charges, battery bar moving up like normals, but battery decrease and seems not storing even thought the battery bar is moving like normal, tested while off the phone, same cant store battery, try to clean the micro-usb with brush, still same, is that a mainboard problem ?tried search the forums, but no luck~ any help ??
So, my phone is doing some weird things. It says that the USB is connected when it's unplugged, and says disconnected while the cord is connected. It won't charge anymore either. I tried cleaning out the port, different cords, restarted the phone, removed the battery and put it back in, formatted the phone, and nothing's worked yet. I bought the phone in March, so I might still be covered under warranty, but I'm currently in another country, so not sure if it still applies here. Any idea?
There are many cases of faulty usb ports on the Note, i suffered it too a few weeks ago and had to claim under warranty.
I think you should do the same, it's possible to do it yourself and there are guides and videos online, but if you don't feel confident in doing it then send off for repair.
Do you have any friends or family in the country you purchased the Note from? You could ask to use their address for the phone to be returned to.

sounds like a bad port :crying:
Mine is suffering to, but from self inflicted damage. Was plugged in, laying on a table with the end of the phone hanging off the table. Dropped something on the table at the end of the cord, and it bent the cord/usb port. If I plug it in, it charges, but barely touch the cord and it disconnects. I suspect the soldier connection is broken. Got a new port coming, but won't be here from China until mid January.
Watched the video on replacing it, other than a few screws and being careful, doesn't look too bad...been in the repair/electronics business for 30 years...with a magnifier glass, even these eyes should be able to do it :victory:
Another thing to try is to clean the usb port with pure alcohol and a cotton bud, this often happens with dirty ports where the dust etc shorts the pins easily fixable.

Thanks to everyone for your solutions. Turns out I just had to drain the battery all the way once to solve the problem. No idea what happened but all is working now.
Before I send it back to HTC to repair I wanted to know if anyone had experienced this problem.
I was plugging in my car charger which I have done since the phones release. Everything is working fine.
I have been running OrDroid ROM(current) with his supplied kernel. I then tried Elemental X kernel and it ran fine for the past few days.
Earlier today I was plugging in the phone and smelled a funny smell. The Micro USB port on the phone was smoking a little. I immediately unplugged the phone. The phone is working fine but its low on battery.
I thought it was a bad cable or charger so I replaced both and still the same problem. So now I am home and I plug it into the computer USB and I get a message from Windows that I have a power Surge in the USB port and the tip of the micro-USB cable is burning hot!
I don't think I have enough juice to back up the data to Helium online or to Dropbox. I can't plug it in to back up. Can I do anything with a Bluetooth sync?
I was able to backup my message to email from the HTC backup option. But my pictures and things are not backed up and I don't want to send it to them without a backup.
This really sucks. My only regret at this point is not buying it from AT&T since I could just walk in and get another one. At least that would be better than waiting up to 2 weeks.
I have an back up phone but not of the data.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I have turned off the phone for now until I can figure out what to do to back up my data at least.
How about a wifi file explorer?
Probably a long shot, but is there anything in the socket that could be shorting it?
If ur that worried go buy a battery wall charger where ubonly charge the battey not the phone. Then u can back it up and do what you do.

You could try mounting an External SD card and moving your files that way. I know that will still use the micro-USB port on your phone, but that's the only thing I can think of.
Have you tried charging the phone while it's off? Does it still smoke?
Thank for the input/help peeps.
The USB port was dead off or on. I charged up a 5000mAH battery Backup that has indicators if the USB source is drawing power. It would come on and then off immediately. Did this for a few times with different cables.
I tried charging only and with data/charge cables and it wasn't that helpful.
For it to get hot so quickly that meant there must be something in there or resistance immediately upon plug in. My cables where new so I know it could be that.
I went out today and purchase a few cans of compressed air since I ran out and took a fine pick/needle and cleaned the contacts. I blew it out and clean. It started showing signs of progress as the LED indicator would like up for longer than it had since I had this problem.
Cleaned it a little more and now I got it back to charging again and my data is backed up. I have tested it in the car with a 2A charger and with my 3.1A wall charger and my laptop and it seems to be working fine again.
Whatever small particle that got in there must have created a resistance that started burning the connectors and left residue behind to cause the USB Surge Errors. I mean it got hot quick. Less than 2 seconds and it was sizzling hot at the Metal Micro USB tip.
Crossing my fingers that its working right now. Patience and cleaning the very small contacts did the trick.
Yea i always ALWAYS check my charger for little hairs or anything that could get in there. I went thru this with a blackberry

You clean USB cable or Micro USB port on phone?
Hope this trick works for me.
Hi All
I have this OCD that I'm going to damage the Micro USB port when inserting or removing the cable. Is the port durable? And should I just not worry about it?
In note 4, it will get loose and you need you find position that charges the phone.
Well using the app "phone info" on my rooted note 4 I can tell you I have connected a usb lead 712 times in the last year and I have no looseness or connection issues whatsoever.
No the most scientific of responses I know, but hopefully it will give you an idea.

My phone has been plugged in charging many a time in our living room and my Mrs has caught the charger lead with her foot and launched the phone across the room! Lol never had any adverse effects on the micro usb connection.

If you've got a dodgy connection, replace the lead. They're cheap (much cheaper than trying to replace the socket)
My experience is that most micro USB leads are good for a couple of hundred connections or so.
Thanks to everyone who has replied. I really appreciate it soo much. I now will charge my phone worry free.
I charge wireless to save a little wear and tear on mine.

It is much better than Mini-USB standard, which usually get broken in mid-long use.
My Micro-USB port is working very fine in my Note 4. Charged around 800 times.
almost 2000 count on my phone
and still work fine
800 times, no problem.
FYI, the MicroUSB standard states a design lifetime of 10000 cycles. The weakest parts are on the cable side.

Yeah actually the cable that came with my note 4 is a bust. the rubber part near the micro usb plug started cracking this summer and then opened up a month later
Is it easy to replace the USB port ?
Charger Connect Counter on mime is 2181. My port has just worn as in paint has chipped but 100% funtional
