I started having a big issue with my Galaxy Note recently. The problem is that randomly it would think that it's charging, or connected in car dock mode, or connected to a PC, so the screed would light up with the sound of being connected, respective menu popping up, media scanning running and all the crap. Once, it even entered the Safe Mode - a "safe mode" writing appeared in the bottom left corner, and it would stay in all the applications and screens. The phone is quite new, one week only, and first three days it was fine. The MicroUSB jack is undamaged and clean. Now I have troubles charging and connecting the phone to PC - I succeed in doing so only from 6-7th attempt.
No idea whether it is a software or hardware issue, because in download mode it connects to Odin seamlessly, and after connecting it to Odin and rebooting it, for an hour it stays calm and connects and charges properly.
The issue is very annoying and drains battery really fast. Any ideas, gentlemen, what this could be? Or should I take it to the service centre?
Are you using a stock rom? if not you may want to try a full stock unrooted rom and see if the issues continue. If they do then take it back as it shouldn't be doing anything like that.
Did it get any water damage by any chance as electrical devices tend to get possessed when a little water gets in there somehow.
Thanks for the quick answer, martcerv.
I am using the stock KKA rom. I used to have J4, then I flasher Rocket V6 rom, issues started, I flashed to the stock one, issues didn't disappear. And no, no water, no drops, and as I said, it connects nicely to Odin and does connect and charge properly for an hour after that.
I had a very similar problem with my Note. It was like it was possessed by car mode.
My solution was to take out the battery for a few hours. I had tried everything and that seemed to correct the issues.
So maybe take out the battery and leave the phone with the back off in a dry place for a few hours or overnight.
Hm.. Will try that
Didn't help, I just don't know what could be the reason... Now, when I connect it to the PC in debugging mode, it mounts the card and USB storage by itself. And then disconnects. Connects again... Seems that the damn thing got possessed. Will take it to the service centre.
I am having the same problem. There seems to be an issue with the USB port.
Exactly the same problem just started happening today, car mode, clock and weird USB stuff seem to be the main symptoms. Running stock ROM, not rooted, if it doesn't sort itself out by tomorrow will be getting in touch with seller for a replacement.
i have the same problem and it seems like the usb port issue. I will try to send in my note for repair and see if they will fix it. If they refuse, then i will wait for the usb port to be available on the net so I can buy it and install it myself. Its a small independent board with a flexible ribbon cable. can be changed in 10 minutes

Okay so tried sticking the usb end in a bowl of dried rice overnight and it seems to have done the trick so I'm guessing some moisture got in the usb somehow, but really can't think how. Delicate little flowers these notes aren't they
Note slipped out of my pocket and fell in a snowy/slushy parking lot after a big snowfall. For a few days after that it would randomly go into charging mode.
Perhaps the USB ports are prone to malfunctioning and the drop in the snow aggravated the existing problem.
Happening less and less though. Hope it isn't permanently damaged.
Same issue on my new galaxy note
After three days, my note has started to do the same.
It suddenly starts to charge with no wire connected, or activates deactivates the car dock mode by itself.
It can work fine for a couple of hours but then becomes crazy with no reason. I'm almost sure that any water has touched the phone.
After entering "crazy mode", even when it has get calm again the phone doesn't recognize the charger wire. Only taking out the battery lets the phone become "normal".
I'm almost sure is a hardware problem.
To be continued ...
I have the same problem as well after playing in the snow but I fixed mine...
First thing I did was lightly blow-dry the USB side of my note on high-heat for about 5 minutes. I didn't blow-dry the battery or battery area of the phone but that doesn't sound like a bad idea either.
The next thing I did might only serve temporarily as the device needs to dry more: go to settings/applications/development and make sure debugging mode is checked. If its already checked, uncheck it and wait a sec... then check it back on.
I've not seen the thing act up since so I'm crossing my fingers for me and the rest of you. Good luck
P.S. Worse comes to worse, you could always get a new USB port off of EBAY and install it yourself which is what I'll do if I see the charger symbol act up again :-|
Fixed !
I fixed my phone too !!!.
Initially I did the same blow the usb side hopping to put out any particule that could be inside the usb hole.
Whit this the phone started to work normally, but one day later it became grazy again, but then I realized that it was only after using one usb charger that I have at the office.
If I don't use that charger the phone works fine !.
Four days working properly !.
I was on KL7 when my phone started going crazy around the third or fourth day. And the phone wouldn't charge when the power was still on, whether it's connected to the pc or wall charger. Cleaned the port and cable ends with rubbing alcohol and that seemed to solve the issue. Wiped cache partition and dalvik cache a few times too. Oh, and I got so spooked I changed back to my previous stock rom. LOL.
Hope this info will help your phones.
poor USB
Well I have had this problem for 1 month now.What finally fixed it was to clean the USB port with brush and nail varnish remover.Some people use a tooth brush take out battery dip brush in nail varnish remover and clean port and leave to dry for at least 20 minutes.I used a brush from electric razor give out a good clean and not to gentle either needs a good clean to remove oxidization.

I'm not a freak but nail varnish and electric razor
Come on
it seems like a common problem as many people are beginning to have this usb port problem after a couple of month (or less) use of the note. Cleaning the usb port will solve the problem temporarily but the real solution would be to change the usb port circuit board from the inside of the phone. The usb port circuit is not available on ebay yet but some chinese supplier is selling it out of china.
Man, this is a scary post...

guys I am in trouble. I have had rocket rom v10 installed for a couple of week, then all of the sudden 2 days ago my phone started to act like as if its still charging even after I had disconnected the usb cable. Now it seems like its charging all the time and won't boot up. I only see charging battery icon and the phone thinks its charging. I had installed the stock hong kong rom with odin but it seems the phone still thinks its charging and I can't activate the debugging because the phone thinks the usb cable is hooked up to it. i can't root it or even install custom rom. please guys help. phone is not booting and a grey battery icon is shown and sometimes even green battery charging animation is also shown. please help. I can't send the phone for repair as I bought the phone in new condition from a person in dominican republic and have no receipt. what are my options? thanks in advance.
I feel your pain, but I have the exact opposite problem. My note will note will not charge at all, I've plugged it in to multiple sources and I've tried multiple usb cables, but nothing works. I think the usb port may have been damaged
pull battery and leave it out for like half an hour.
if you can enter recovery at all then, wipe everything, cache, stats, the lot, fix permissions, then factory reset, reinstall stock rom.
if you cant then get a jig, into download mode and reinstall stock rom from pc odin.
shouldnt happen with rocket rom, never had an issue there myself, but either of these 2 methods should resolve the issue.
if they dont then, well id start looking at samsung to see if theyd repair it, did it come with any warranty as it must be new, cant be a year old yet.

Unfortunatley it does rather sound like youve damaged the port, did you have insurance, i insured my note for £8 a month, i didnt want to take a chance on samsung saying no to a repair.
i have a feeling its a hardware issue. The usb port is defective. Now I am in trouble because i have no receipt for the phone. it was bought off a craigslist type page.
i have been searching the sgs2 threads and seems like many have the same problem in their devices. after all, our phone is the bigger brother of the s2 phones. Many have bought the new charging port assembly which connects with a ribbon cable. the problem is resolved this way. I want to know where I can get one of these ports for galaxy note within usa or nearby.
Here is how I fixed my usb port inside the note.
Seems like whenever I would disconnect my note from charger usb cord, the phone would think its still connected to the charger and actually discharge my phone. I tried cleaning with alcohol and nail polish remover with tooth brush. No positive results were achieved.
So here is what I did that fixed it for good.
Take a plastic fine screw driver or any sharp plastic strip that would go inside the usb port on the note. Now just push the usb pins (strip-inside the port) back. I mean to push the strip inside the usb port back and in a hard/forceful way, without damaging or bending anything inside. This has solved my problems and now I can connect and disconnect my usb cable for charging and for data transfer without any incidents or errors. Make sure the phone is off and battery is removed. Thanks god the note is working fine for now. I will still buy the usb port once it's available on ebay for a reasonable price.
Thank you very much for the tip.
I had the same issue, was about to send in for repair, this fixed the issued.
Hi,
First off, I have a non rooted, stock Galaxy note. It's not modded in any way.
The problem started occurring yesterday, all was just fine before. Since then, it won't charge no matter what USB cable or charger I use.
1) Phone on
- I plug the charger to the phone : nothing. The phone doesn't register being connected to the OEM wall-charger.
- I connect the phone using the OEM USB cable to my computer (tryed 3 different computers) : Nothing.
I also tried another charger and several USB cables : no luck.
2) Phone off
- I plug the charger / I connect my phone to a computer using USB cable : the phone boot up and doesn't charge the battery.
Any thought ?
Thx in advance.
Try using some compressed air to clean out the usb port on the Galaxy Note. I had a similar issue with an iPhone once and there ended up being a piece of lint stuck on 1 of the contacts which made it unable to charge. Could be the case with your phone. Other than that contact Samsung and see what they can do for you.
Thx for the advice.
I'll try that out and call over Samsung.
Try factory reset if that could help..

Update:
I tried a micro USB Host Cable (OTG Cable) and it's working fine : recognized and plugged in USB stick is working fine.
Also, I tried a factory reset after backuping my data. All went fine but sadly the problem is still there : no charging.
More update:
After two days, It started working again as if it never happened.
Still wondering what might have caused it
Might be the dust that settled on the battery pins and the contacts on your phone.. happens some times .. glad its back to work.. poor thing..

Happened to me too! It wouldn't charge until I turned off the phone. It worked after I cleaned the phone and usb cable's metal parts--sorry no correct jargon for this--with rubbing alcohol. Make sure there's no lint left from the cleaning.
Yup, had this. On charge with stock charger in the mains. Battery dropping fast, back (top) getting warm. I turned the screen off, left it for 5 mins. Looked again, it was 2% less!
Reboot fixed it.
There did not seem to be any rogue program using the CPU, but I now have a meter and a better logger to examine this if it occurs again. I assume the system got into a loop somewhere, although the phone was normally responsive.

Happening to my phone as well right now. I was worried that the battery is dying so I got a spare online. But it doesn't make sense that its charging and know that it is on one state and not the other.
I panicked so I replaced Rocket Rom with Cassie's. It's still doing this.
Have you guys checked if there is a weird smell from your battery? I thought that was something to look at but dont all batteries smell like that?
galaxy note is experiencing the same hardware problems as galaxy s2 phones. I am very pissed off at samsung. I bought a new galaxy note in dominican republic and after one month of delicate use the phone developed charging problems. Drive mode would start automatically or the phone would shut off all by itself and a battery removal reset would turn the phone on again. then finally, the phone would stay in charging mode even after the usb charge cable is removed. the phone would discharge quickly and then would not turn on. I finally gave the phone to repair dept at claro phone company. they would not fix it and are just showing me a middle finger. Now I guess, I would have to learn to change the charging port myself. After seeing galaxy s2 videos, I see many ribbon contacts would get corroded and need to be cleaned frequently. Many phones were just less than 2 months old and had so much corrosion on the contacts. this is bad design and I think the high current draw for a dual core phone of that huge screen size is causing all kinds of electrical corrosion on the contacts inside the phone. this sucks majorly as I loved the phone when I had it working fine. Now I think I have bought a problem with my saved cash. I will try to repair my own phone soon as I get it back from the repair dept.
My Galaxy Note is doing a similar thing. Not all the same symptoms, but a few similarities.
The other night, when the charger was plugged in the phone kept changing it's mind whether it was plugged in or not - probably every few seconds I was getting the chime it makes when you plug the phone in. I eventually managed to charge the phone by turning it off, removing the battery, replacing it, plugging the charger in, waiting for it to start charging, then turning it on.
Today my phone was trying to tell me it was charging when it wasn't even plugged in to anything!
As with the above post, my phone has been getting hot occasionally and the drive mode has started by itself a few times.
I've used three chargers and four cables.
I'll be taking it along to where I bought it from later on today.
Battery not charging
G Note Battery is not charging .. same problem as of 1st post.
Changed usb cables, chargers, thru PC, laptop, direct wall, cleaning etc
Every thing fails. one month old set ?
OMG, glad to know I'm not the only one. Bought a Galaxy Note from a brazilian network provider (VIVO) and after 1 week of usage I'm experiencing the same problems as you guys.
My phone will only charge when it is powered off and USB connection does not work anymore (even in download mode). Before the problem onset, I noticed some MTP connection and SD Card rescanning without connecting to the PC.
Did a factory reset and got no results. Downloaded Odin Mobile and flashed stock rom and the problem persists.
Has anyone found a fix or the cause for this?
Thanks!
Missing my old Galaxy S...
Strange! After a full night charge, now I can unplug and plug the battery and continue charging from where I stop without turning it off.
I can now get beeps when connecting to PC. It show MTP-Inicialization in the Note screen but I have no access to to Note partitions in Windoes Explorer.
Update: One more strange thing just happened now.
Went to college and left it charging. When I came back at night, tried to connect the Note to the PC and everything is working ok now.
What?!?! Now I'm confused. How can I send it to warranty now? I think I'll have to wait a couple more days.
issue as well
That is my 3rd galaxy note, first one screen cracked, second dont ask me why it was not modified at all but it was so sluggish and froxze all the time, my 3rd one it is rooted device and i have similar issue...I am thinking is it because i was charging it from my wife's htc one phone? I thought they would have the same pins...anyway it is doomed, i tried so many chargers and problem not solved
ok i can comfirm to everyone that i have fixed the problem by buying contact cleaner spray and sprayed inside the usb and beautiful all back to normal!
Nooo..
Have a charging problem as well :/ It detects the charging cable and shows the battery icon with the circle about to charge. But it just turns off before it starts charging, turns on shows the icon again, turns off, turns on, shows the battery icon and so on. I have tried with two different chargers. For me i looks like the voltage is too low? Maybe the battery needs a jumpstart? I'll just leave it in the charger and see what happens. Suggestions welcome
Edit: It's just two weeks old, damn it. Last night I used it untill the battery was empty. That is why I think the voltage is so low it doesnt accept charge.
Edit2: Fixed! Puh! I was right. Battery needed a higher mah to start the charging. Leaving the post as it is for future reference.
same problem here, however it charges from my laptop... how strange?
hi
i have a problem with my SGN the device keep telling me its charging even when i disconnect the device from the charger i have tried to flash a new kernel with no luck the problem remain and i have flashed a new rom and made a full wipe and im still getting this error dose any one knows what's causing this problem help me please
thanks in advance
Dirty micro usb connector
You might try this. It fixed mine, which is why I wrote it
It might "look" ok, but get a strong power loop (15x) to really get a good
look at it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25102882&postcount=18
I had the exact same problem last week. Ics was unusable due to pop up: charging paused. Voltage to high. Even when usb was unplugged.
I fixed the problem by running the battery flat. Charged to 100% ran fully flat again and then charged again. No problems since. I think the problem was caused by flashing cm9 when on charge. Sounds unlikly but its all i can think of.
Hope this helps

this problem has been discussed earlier. please do a research and you will see a solution. the problem is hardware not software. take the battery off and then push the usb pins straight insde the phone. take a tiny screwdriver and push the usb pins in the usb port of the phone straight back inside the phone. problem solved.
Final solution to charging problems
Guys, stop messing around with cleaning and pushing before you do more damage to your Notes.
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/180772505164...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3514wt_1002
arrived today, 7 minutes later replaced and all good and working perfectly. It is really easy to do that (unless of course you have warranty, in that case just have Samsung do that for you - I couldn't because Samsung does not give a flying f**k about customers in Canada who happen to prefer the International version of their own f**ked up product - especially with the COMMON problem like this one)
There is a video tutorial on YouTube about opening the note, for this particular part it takes total of 12 philips screws and prying the case with plastic case opener - I ordered this tool of e-bay as well)
You don't need to be an expert to fix this problem...
You get an airbrush and blow some air on your phone's micro USB port. Do it a couple of times and you should be good to go. Some logical reasons why you get this problem, is that overtime some lints and dusts can gather and accumulate on the insides of your Note's micro usb port.
A simple airbrush is all there is to it.
I my case i tried cleaning with air, with alcohol while it was in the phone and when it was removed from phone and nothimg helped. Replacing the 16 dollars part fixed the problem (hopefully) permanently

Just to chime in with my own experience. I started having this problem a few weeks ago. The phone would keep telling me it was charging, even with it not connected to any charger, or would constantly flash the battery icon in the notification bar from charging to not charging continuously. Even rebooting the phone did not help at all. When the phone was off, the screen would continuously show a grey battery, then a green battery with the indicator dots below it saying it was charging (and it was not even connected to a charger). Since the phone was constantly keeping itself awake from turning itself from a charge state to an uncharge state, it would drain the battery quicker than usual, about 10%/hour when screen was off on ICS.
At first cleaning the ports with a interdental brush and some alcohol and then blowing some compressed air helped for a few weeks and then the problem came back. After that, cleaning the ports did not work. I have also tried pushing the usb strip inside the port in as suggested above and that did not work.
I figured it was a hardware problem as I did a search and I saw that the Galaxy SII and GNexus (which are also 2nd generation Galaxy S phones as the Note is) were also having the same problems as well, and the result in most cases was to replace the charging port. In fact there is a 17+ page thread in the GNexus forum where the charging ports are problematic here on XDA. I guess the charging ports in this generation of phones are not that great as I have never had a problem with the charging ports of both my Epic 4G and Nexus S 4G (which were from the 1st generation of Galaxy S phones).
Since I am in the USA, Samsung USA will not fix my phone since it is an international version, and I don't want to ship it out of the country, wait weeks, pay a lot on shipping costs, and hope they actually do fix it. So I decided to fix it myself.
So long story short, I ordered a new charging port from eBay (~$10 shipped) and a set of Samsung phone maintenance tools (small phillips and torx screwdriver, tweezers, a pry tool and 2 guitar pick looking tools) from eBay (~$3 shipped) and watched a few disassembly videos on Youtube and did it myself. It was actually very easy to do and took me no more than 15 minutes. All fixed now, no more "phantom" charging, no constant annoying phone waking-up-by-itself notification beeps, etc.
My solution
Same problem here too...but thanks to some posts in XDA, I could determine that it was basically a result of dirty USB connection points.
So, I used a tooth brush to gently rub and clean the connection points from the outside ( without dissembling the USB port- not that adventurous u see!).
After a little bit of cleaning and blowing air into the port I switched on the phone and the problem was gone!:good:
Been just a couple of hours since the 'treatment'- will keep you guys posted if it comes back...fingers crossed!!

Good luck!
Hopefully yours continues to work after the cleaning. Mine did the same thing for a couple of weeks after cleaning it and no amount of cleaning or pushing the pins back worked. I finally broke down and bought a new charging port and did it myself (see my post above yours). In fact, since I did that fix, it has been forking flawlessly ever since. I still think it's a common problem in the 2nd generation of Galaxy S devices (GS2, GNote, GNexus) for whatever reason since it hasn't happened to either of my 1st generation Galaxy S phones (Epic 4G and Nexus S 4G). Maybe a bad batch of charging ports for our phones possibly. In fact I'm thinking about buying another charging port as back up if it does happen again just so I don't have to wait a few days for the part to arrive.
If it does happen again and cleaning doesn't work, then I really do suggest changing the ports. It is really easy and their are several videos on YouTube that show you how to open and take apart your phone. You can buy everything you need off eBay for about US $15 (charging port and Samsung tools).
Hi all. There is a standalone way to charge the Note GT n7000 battery? I'd like to try if it works before buying a new usb module but without battery I can't.
Thank you very much.
Hi guys... my problem appear when i fully charge my note
I disconnect it from the charger...and start my nightmare.

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!
