So I noticed that my phone is not charging while plugged into the USB in my car. Tried using mobile search which is useless. Also noticed if I wiggle the port it sometimes grabs the charge. Just need to know if I have to put back to stock and turn in for warranty. Kinda live off my phone, I drive for a living so I need it working right.

Does your charger work in a wall socket? If it has the same problems, it's the charger. Try buying a new one to see if it works like that. But I can't think of anything on the spot while you're driving.
Also, you shouldn't be using you're phone while driving. D:

Wiggle the port on the car side? Bad car charger/cable.
Wiggle the port on the phone side, bad USB port/cable.
How clean is the socket in your car? Often times they are located in ash trays or near cup holders and get filled with spooge, try cleaning the female part of the car charger and see if you get a more consistent charge? Since your not complaining about not being able to charge at home, your USB socket I assume is fine, I'd bet it's either the cable or the cars receptacle (either dirty or faulty)

Thx for the help I think its the port on the phone . Seems like I'll be having a fun day at the phone store lol btw I drive limos so plenty of down time just no terminal to be had

Just buy a new one You can also try to solder a new female micro usb end but it'd be too much work.

Even the full site's search function isn't exactly user friendly. It's very powerful, but you have to already know how to use it.

Hey guys I bought the authentic Samsung MHL (HDMI) adapter for my phone and when I plug it in nothing happens. When I connect it to the tv, nothing. I am on Unnamed 2.1
Any suggestions on settings or apps or is it the rom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Do you have a power cable connected to the adapter? It requires a power source to work.

Let us know. I bought a menotek and it wont hold a connection. I had to get up 2x each movie just to push on the cable. I need to know if the Samsung does the same. If so, this whole feature is worthless.
Check the other thread on here started by bw31 something i wrote a lot on this subject. I'm running unnamed 2.2.1 works perfectly

You're not an idiot, you just didn't read the directions. I would have done the same thing if I hadn't already read through these threads, considering I never read the directions.
Hello guys I need some help and wiil organize the info as best as I can
Origin: started getting a msg saying "voltage to high,charging paused" when the phone wasnt even charging!! after a little drop of water in usb port. Phone would also turn on by itself.
Have done: bought 3 new USB ports buy none worked properly, they fixed the problem with the usb port but then I cant connect to tmobile service, phone does recognize the sim and when I do a network scan it does find at&t but not tmobile. Its like I loose a band.
Flashed a different firmware and baseband. Currently on XWLPT kernel and XXLQ6 baseban and still no luck.
As soon as I change to the old USB board I get instant service with tmobile :s
REPLACEMENT PARTS: USB boards two rev2.2 and one rev2.1
Please advice, I dont understand whats going on :s
THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP
What is the small round dome fixing for on the board.A wire goes on it-would it be for the antenna.

Yeah, i guess it is but I hook it up in all of the board equally though. And still no luck with the new ones :s
There has been twice as much people on here saying that after changing board something doesnt work-than people saying it works ok.
People must be selling faulty stuff.

Yeah at first I thought that but then I bought 3 and all 3 gave me the same issue, so now I dont know what to think. :s
Only thing you could maybe try is change the usb only.Looks like its just 4 blobs of solder shaped in a square that holds it in.

Hey Handale30, did you ever get it fixed? If so, what worked for you?
I have the same issue but with a GT-N7000, I swapped out the USB charge port board. After the change, I get good signal and the it slowly dies and then it's back again.
Take a look at my girlfriends note 2, she was at work and plugged it in to charge and a few minutes later smelled burning and her phone was off. She opened the back cover and found the wireless charging pins had overheated and was burning through the back cover. What do you think could have caused this? Phone still works except calls can only be heard on speakerphone. Crazy...

Verizon note2? Wireless charging pins aren't exposed, elaborate?
If another model I'd guess some residue on the inside of the backing grounded the 2 pins? If you ever picked up an oily car battery you might know how little it takes.. >_>

I'd march right into the Verizon store and show them. I could almost guarantee you they'd order you a new replacement for sure.
Doin' big thangs from my Note Deuce
Verizon overnighted a replacement as soon as I took it into the store so they could see the damage on the phone.

I've found that my problem is my charging Jack on the phone.There is something mechanically intermittent. Does anybody know anyone who might do this work instead of sending it back to the factory? I'll be happy to pay well.

Is it charging then not charging? On my old one my charger flex cable went bad and I had to replace it because eventually my phone stopped charging all together. Its like a 10 dollar part and takes about 15 minutes to replace. There are guides on YouTube to talk ya through it.

I had issues with the usb port cutting in and out when connecting to charger or computer,
Changed cables and did nothing same deal,
Then I changed roms and some magical way it fixed it not sure how that all worked out but maybe this will help,
goodluck
I sent it away.
For forty dollars it came back as good as new and the old part was obviously defective.

Yes, but the troubleshooting process is to go from simple to complex, from cheap to expensive. Cracked solder joints and lint would both give intermittent errors.
It was a suggestion, not an argument.

I understand that. I just wanted to make it clear to others that when the simple solutions don't work, and you're not confident of doing the work yourself, there is a reasonably priced reliable alternative.

Honestly it sounds like a dirty head phone jack. And in your case I would use something a little moist, not really wet at all and clean it out.

I just had this issue when I (half-brained) decided to clean the ports out on my DNA with a soft-bristle toothbrush, since my font LED was extremely dim. After cleaning some lint out of the jack, I must've left some in, as it took some cycles of plugging in and unplugging earphones to get it working again. Haven't had trouble since.
Had this same issue. Use a needle and carefully pry the 2 little tabs inside for better contact.

I had the same issue with both my old DNA and my current one. I actually warrantied out my old one because of the issue my current one I managed to fix. I was reading online (i googled the issue) and found a couple other people had the same problem. I work for an IT company that uses the Square Card readers to accept credit cards so I HAD to get the issue fixed. Someone suggested using compressed air, aka canned air, and spray into the jack. Worked like a dream. Haven't had an issue since I did this.
If none of the cleaning tips work, there is an app called SoudAbout on the Play Store. You can use it too force the audio through the jack even if your phone doesn't recognize they're plugged in. The free version is all I've used. Link
