Hi everyone.
My note 8 isn't charging recently. I used different cables/chargers but it's the same.
It only charges when connected to the pc...(only charges, cannot use MTP for transfering files).
What can it be? Charging port?
I had the same issue with my Note4. The USB port was to blame (the solder point on the board broke).
You will have to buy a wireless (inductive) charger in the interim until you can fix the issue. I got a wireless charger for this reason and left my USB Type-C port for data transfers.

One thing i found today is that it works in one side of the cable only( not both sides as it is type C). And it doesnt connect to pc, even download mode isn't recognized in odin.
So changing the port will fix it? It should cost around 25€ here in my country if i remember correctly.

You should try to charge it wireless and se how it goes, but by your explanation sounds like the port is malfunctioning. I had several phones with that problem and have to change the port. The solution I have is to use a magnetic cable and voila
Try cleaning the port before assuming it's bad. I work outside and my port gets built up with crap and a good cleaning with a toothbrush and some alcohol usually does the trick.
If cleaning the port doesn't help. Then you need to get the USB port repaired.
Did you install august update or custom ROM with august security patch?
If so that's the culprit.
Downgrading your ROM will fix the issue.

Yup i guess that's why. Even though phone charges now(everytime), i cannot connect it to the pc.
Can i downgrade without deleting my data, it's been a while since i last flashed using odin???

You can't really downgrade without killing the data.
I have a suggestion tho, maybe unrelated to your usb recognition, but it also might magically work, you have nothing to lose anyway:
- at 5% battery open dialer and tap *#0228# - press quick start - press ok
- charge to 100%, turn off, turn on, open dialer and tap *#0228# - press quick start - press ok, charge back to 100%
- optional open dialer and tap *#9900# - look for Batterystats reset and tap on it
This fixed usb issues for one of my users that had problems on august base.

If your phone is having stock ROM and stock recovery - the only option is by flashing ROM via ODIN and data will be erased.

Evening all,
I have being playing with a spare D3 and have been successful in bringing it back to life. I got it back to 959, and then upgraded it to 890. Now with the upgrade I have something weird happening and wondered if anyone else who is running 890 is experiencing this. I cannot seem to get USB mode to operate on the D3 now. It is connected to my PC via USB, but its not showing up on the device as connected. Is this happening to anyone else?
Thanks,
Steve

I think this thread belongs in General. The answer (probably) is that you have the wrong USB mode selected from the menu pull-down. Hit the little android-usb icon up top and choose charge only, storage, or pc mode. Media sync might be the default.
No worries but its not that. The choice was not showing up in the notifications. It was only charging the battery. I read in another forum that its the USB cable, and would you believe thats it true.
So for all of you make sure you use the USB cable that came with your D3. Somehow in 890 its programmed differently.

I use the cable that came with my Droid Incredible (HTC) and the cable that came with my DroidX, with my Droid3 with no problems--959 and 890 firmwares. Both cables are wired differently, but the phone tolerates both of them well, although using the HTC cable does not give reliable Fastboot flashing or charge-only-mode (phone off) results. You might want to pitch that cable if it was giving you issues, they don't last forever!
890 works great for me except that the signal strength indicator doesn't like to turn blue at times when I am on wifi. Anyone else get this? Maybe I need to wipe data....

I would recommend a full wipe, as that was happening with mine too. Once I did a full data and cache wipe it went back to blue...I actually like the blue! Wish someone would put together an ADW theme with that blue...maybe I need to learn how to use ADW.
I just did a full data wipe and it still does it. If I go from 3G to WiFi, the WiFi indicator goes blue but the signal strength indicator bars stay white. If I put it into airplane mode from there then back, they both go blue. Odd....
Anyone having issues waking the phone from sleep mode?
Nope, been waking/sleeping quite fine here.

Same thing hapened to me... upgraded to 890 and then USB mode dropdown would not appear when connected via usb, it only charged; swapped out the USB cable and it was all good (too bad I didn't realize this until after I did a factory wipe)!

*EDIT*
It only seems to work for me when I'm connected to USB power...
Hey guys.
I have the famous USB port problem, in which, even after disconnecting the charger, the phone shows charging, and dis-charging in an infinite loop. So due to this, the screen doesn't switch off because, due to this problem, the phone thinks that the charger is being connected and removed, connected removed .. so on. and hence, the phone sometimes acts like a heater, and also oozes battery. Just like is in the starting of this video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duzTDyt_bN4
As a solution to this problem, I switched to MIUI (the Venegence MIUI 5), which recognized the small intervals of charging and disconnecting as just charging, and hence didn't keep the screen on. But there was a problem. the MIUI got bloated, (and also i got pretty bored using it). so i had to swith to official JB again. And again the same problem continued.
If MIUI doesn't recognize the small connect and disconnect, why does the TW JB? and is there any tweak that can be applied on the stock JB rom, to not light up the screen when charger is connected? i think that the phone keeps the screen on because it thinks that it has been connected -> 'turn screen' on and disconnected -> 'turn screen on' and connected -> 'turn screen on' again. If it is said to the phone, don't turn on the screen when connected or disconnected, then i think the problem is solved. then there is no other problem on the phone like the others have. - pc not recognizing, connect disconnect sound or anything. everything else concerning the USB port is working fantastic. just this screen on thing.

It's Note's weak spot. I had the same problem and it's obviously not rom related. I fixed it by replacing the usb port. It's a couple of bucks on ebay and there are YouTube guides on how to do it.

there is xposed module which includes the option for wake up on plug. Gravity box has it, there should be another module too with that feature. Also in Omnirom it is already included in settings>display>wakeup on plug if you uncheck it, it wont wake up on plug and unplug.

Just checked my old usb charging port that I still keep after it has been replaced and it has the following stamp with golden letters:

I bought my phone May 2012. Not sure if it matters though...
Hope this could be of some help.
Hello,
I unlocked my device by using ASUS unlock tool. Everything went well. I also can see the message "Device is unlocked".
Then I tried to connect my tablet with my computer to install TWRP and further a cutom rom, but this is not possible. If I connect my tablet with my PC nothing is happening at all, means tablet is not recognized at all. I'm using Windows 10. Anyway, my mobile phone is recognized. I already tried to set it back to factory settings, flashed the latest Asus ROM, but nothing helped.
The other curios issue is that the tablet is not able to recognize that the battery is charged. LED is lightning and battery is charged, but tablet says power adapter is not connected.
Any idea? Could it be the cable? I already tried to connect the table over the dock, but same behavior. Dock LED is lightning as well.
I'm really frustrated. Hope anybody can help. I really need to establish the connection to my PC to go ahead.
5.11.15 - Update:
I realized that it seems to be an issue with USB. As mentioned above USB to tablet is not working (no PC can recognize it). If I connect the keyboard no USB device will be found. Charging the tablet is also not working, except I connect the power adapter and cable directly. Any idea?
Thank you.

That is exactly the same behavior. Best for now is to charge with the device powered down. I'm about to open up mine to doublecheck if the USB connector is seated properly.
Weird thing is that the keyboard also fully works which should not be possible if the USB port on the tablet was malfunctioning right?
I'm having a lot of apps not displaying anything anymore so was going for the KisKatt rom to see if that fixes the lot. Also I see after some time some apps keeping the device awake all the time so battery is always drained when tablet is closed.

My TF701T is sitting disassembled in one of my drawers after an unfinished screen replacement attempt. I did manage to install TWRP on it, however, I don't remember what I did exactly to accomplish that.
I might have used one of those shady rooting apps that I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention here. Then I probably flashed the TWRP with Flashify. Basically, circumvented having to connect the device to a computer up to the point where I had a working recovery on it.
Don't ask me for the exact steps because I wouldn't be able to remember anyway. I'll lay out a basic plan of action:
1) Find an app that lets you root your device without connecting it to a computer. Be warned, those more often than not come bundled with malware, so exercise caution. I'd back up all the important files and information and do a factory reset before attempting this if I were you.
2) Install Flashify, grant root access, download TWRP zip on your tablet, flash. Do some research on how Flashify works and how to use it before you attempt this.
Good luck, and if anything comes out of this, be sure to come back here and report on what you did in case some other poor soul wants to install a custom recovery on their 7 year old tablet without using a USB cable.
I just had mine crap out for some reason and needed to reformat everything and re-install. Connecting the USB to my PC, the PC makes the connected sound but no drive or anything showed up. I couldn't be bothered to figure out why so I just used adb to put the files on the tablet.
adb push yourfile /sdcard
My T810 has stopped fast charging and is no longer connecting when plugged into a computer. But is does charge. Have tried several USB cables and chargers that work with other Samsung tablets.
Same here. Started a week ago.
Slow charging and PC does not recognise the device any more.
USB OTG does not work any more.
Additionally I see a never ending wakelock from 'Android OS'. No more deep sleep.
The issues are maybe connected.
Because the device is not rooted, I can't use WakeLockDetector to find the specific reason. The ADB workaround also does not work, because USB connection fails.

I wanted to wait until end of warranty. So no TWRP as well.
There is an older thread with a slow charging issue. A hard reset solved it in this case and it was thought that a vpn client was the reason. I use 'Block This!' and already updated it to the latest version and also disabled it and rebooted. No success up to now.

Yes i was also on that thread because i have 2 tab s2 1 with broken screen and 1 with charging problems too so i did is swap the mobo to get a 100% working tab. I never tried to hard reset the defected mobo because i cant remove the working lcd again because of the adhesive of the hw buttons which is hard not to break when removing screen. Hope you find solution to your problem and incase you do pls share the info mabe i can recover the other mobo, its always better to have extra item for future repair

I want to add, that Odin does not see the device in download mode.
I slowly begin to assume that I have a broken USB and the WakeLocks are not connected to the issue. Or maybe Android tries to access the Port and does not find it and for that reason stays awake. Does that make sense?

So in your case it was a motherboard failure and not a broken USB? The 'red X' and 'charging takes forever' sound familiar.

I now tried a hard reset. Unfortunately nothing changed.
I made an OTA update to Android 7.0. Unfortunately nothing changed.
So I assume a broken motherboard or a broken USB port.
I also tried a backup/restore with Samsung Smart Switch to an external SD card. It doesn't backup the App databases/settings and just more or less random SD card folders. It does backup the APKs. You can't rely on it but it's better than nothing if you don't have an USB port. Some Apps like Nova and Solid Explorer provide backups of their settings. Use it in addition to Smart Switch and manually backup your internal card.
Thanks for your comments.

Eventually I sent the device to repair. They changed the motherboard and everything is fine now. Warranty covered the repair, fortunately.
for people have this usb port problem, I had this too before,
what i did to fix it is to use hair dryer, dry usb port for 30 secs, rest for 10 secs, dry 30 secs again, then let it cool down for 3 mins , that's it , it fixed.

Interesting technique Kevin. Any idea how this fix worked?
Does anyone face this problem as well??
Whenever I plug in the charger, or even the USB type-c cable into my phone, if the other end is connected to any power source, my phone would freeze for a while and then restart.
Does anyone have an idea about this problem?
Have you tried different adapter/cable/USB port? How old is the phone? Using stock firmware?

Hay, my suggestion, backup all data, fully reset and format internal, i have this problem long ago, after update new firmware, escepcially if then place TWRP, doing root with magisk and kernel custom.

Yes, I have tried a bunch of cables, adapters and USB ports. I've tried one plus & Samsung chargers, tried plugging in the car, laptop and also some battery banks. There's nothing much I can do now. It seems that the moment the type c port is in contact of a current source, it freezes and eventually restarts.
The phone is almost a year old now, bought it last October. I started experiencing this problem in March. I have been living with it quite a while now. I was waiting if anyone else experienced this particular problem but it seems that no one has. The only freezing videos I saw were from another issue wherein the phone automatically restarts while being used. Mine won't restart abruptly, it would do that only when it actually touched a power source. But here I feel the problem is quite different.
I'm still using the stock firmware. I have tried factory resets and also followed the instructions on this link too.

Another issue is that I bought it in India last year, and now I'm located in Canada. I can't go back to India to get it fixed by ASUS since they don't provide an international warranty.

I might root it pretty soon and flash a custom kernel. But I hardly think it's gonna solve any problem
