did you put back all the screws? when I was repairing mine I tried to test everything, but without the back and screws, some things wouldn't function, sound being one of them. also, there's several press-on connectors to the mainboard; perhaps the speaker/mic/earphone tab got unseated?

[Q] Charging paused. Voltage too high

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.

I did a factory reset and the problem seems to have been solved.

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

Repaired my HTC Incredible S USB-Port

Wow, I feel like McGuyver.:laugh:
My Incredible S stopped charging when I was fiddling around with a car charger. Also USB-data connection to the computer did not work anymore.
I suspected that there was a fault in the car electric and a chip was blown by too high voltage.
I still have had a torx driver since I changed the screen on my former Wildfire. So I wanted to see if there was a little chance to repair it.
When I opened the device I could not see anything burnt or so inside. The USB-Port was connected with a flex cable to the main board. I removed it. Then I connected the port to an USB-Port of my computer and tried to measure if there was any voltage. Of course I "managed" to create a shortcut while measuring and my computer shut down immediately. Anyway, I had the impression that there was no voltage at the end of the flex cable. I did a little Google search and found out that there were some offerings for an "USB Flex Board" for the Incredible S. So I decided to spend the 25€ on this little piece of nothing.
Today I replaced the old USB - et voila - it works!
I found some articles on the net from people with similar problems but no solution. So I hope this might help. Perhaps the flex cable blows easily or the solder joints between port and flex cable get broken after a while. Somebody offers the USB-socket without flex cable. This is completely useless because the socket won't broke and you won't be able to solder it on the little flex cable.
If you want to try it on your own. I highly recommend to watch the YT-Video on how to open the Incredible. You should have the torx driver and a very small watchmaker driver for these two very little screws on the main board.

Same to me before it fully stopped working. I suspect the soldering joints are breaking after a while.
Mine is broken too.
Thank you for that. I've ordered a new one and hope it will work again
I've got to admit that's dedication. If that happened to my phone id just buy a new one lol. So well done!

Thank you for sharing. I'm undecided whether I should repair for myself and really void the guarantee or if I should send it to HTC for repair.
Why did you not use guarantee? HTC provides 24 months?
Don't you trust "Arvato Services Solution GmbH"?
Have you been afraid of being rejected because of S-OFF?
It seems that one can buy the USB connector also at ebay:
Search for "USB Power Charger Charging Connector Port Flex Cable HTC Incredible S S710e G11" or similar.

My warranty was void anyway through heavy ROM-Flashing and I thought I cooked a chip inside at first. If you still have warranty you should send it in of course.
But you have to wait for a while and you won't feel like McGuyver :laugh:
Thanks for the info and for posting the info!
Firstly, I would apologize for replying to a year old thread.
@tricki, thanks for your post. You gave me the courage to replace my damaged USB port. For my fellow Inc S users who have a damaged USB port, you can find all the required replacement parts in ebay. The replacement takes 15 to 20 minutes (Okay, 30 min. for a first timer). Make sure you purchase a kapton tape just in case your old tape inside the phone refuses to stick again (like mine!). To remove the two tiny screws on the motherboard, you need a #0 philips screw driver (I did not have this at hand the first time I opened the device, so I had to order one and wait for it to arrive). Be gentle while flipping the mother board..It is not that hard anyway.
I posted this because I wanted to share my experience with you guys. My phone is now charging normally and the most important part is.... my computer detects my phone properly!
I also changed my usb port. It's really easy to do it. So, do not waste yours money and just do it.
Incredibly Tapatalked!

[Q] USB Port Not Detected

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.

[Q] Need some help with my Micro USB Slot

Hey,
My N7000 suddenly doesn't want to charge or connect to pc.. I tried with several other cables and they all don't work.
The phone only charges when I push the MicroUSB plug downwards.. I think I twisted my phone in a wrong way when the charger was plugged in or so.. Can i repair it?
If you have the expertise then yes by ordering yourself and new one and changing it. Lot of videos on that.
Have you tried to check if all the pins in the port looks ok. Not twisted and touching each other.
Or warranty. I swnt my year old note off last week and got ot back yesterday (2 year warranty in UK) all fixed nicely

Clean your micro usb thoroughly using a pin or tooth pick. Make sure you get out all the fuzz and then it should work. Get right under the tight spot of the micro usb where most buildup is.

Vivid charge port and audio port: some questions

Hey all,
I have replaced the charge port once already on my vivid, as it would no longer connect to a computer, and while the replacement worked wonderful, I noticed that after a couple months it got looser (cord wasn't anchored in as well) like the one I replaced, until one of the pins bent inward. I attempted to pull it back out but that just broke it off.
Are there any charge ports I can get that are more... Life proof or me-proof? More so than the original one.
Also, my audio port is being very picky about when it thinks there is a cord in it, making playing music in my car a hassle. Is Is his happening happening anyone else? Is there a way to fix it? Are there replacement audio jacks, or do I need to replace the whole case?
Thanks for whoever can point me in the right direction!

Lesson learned by me...
Spend at least $12 on your port...
I replaced 2 cuz I bought a $5 one and it lasted about 2 months...
The $12 one I bought lasted till the phone no longer took a charge... Got another year by buying that charge port and a $15 3500mah battery at the same time
Thank you, I've since bought another ~$15 port and it's doing fine so far. I also got my 3.5mm audio port working just fine again! I cleaned it out using a paperclip and got loads of dust and rubbish out of it, and now it's fine. Unfortunately the touchscreen doesn't work properly in a few areas, and reseating the flex cable did not resolve that issue, so I'm thinking I may upgrade to an Asus Zenfone 2 (still can't believe it's running an intel chip). Still gonna grab a new digitizer and repair, but my poor Vivid is getting pretty sluggish with my usage, and its age doesn't make it an appealing device to develop for, so the PAC rom is the newest we're gonna get for an OS.
Definitely gonna figure out a way to use it as a security cam though
