So I've managed to completely ruin the micro usb/charging port on the bottom of the phone. The phone will still charge, but my system will not recognize the phone at all. If I wiggle the cable I see the MTP Initialization on the phone, but after looking inside the port with a flashlight, there are tons of bent & broken pins on the port itself.
I'd love to completely replace the charging port on the phone. Does anyone know if the I900 parts are compatible with the SGH-I77? I have the ATT version and I can't find *any* spare parts online for it, only for the international version. I can score the charging port online for as little as $5, and $15 for a full replacement of the pcb+everything else.
I'm more than capable of opening the phone and replacing a PCB, but does anyone know if the I900 parts are compatible with the ATT version *at all*?
Any other suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. I'm eligible for an upgrade in February so I'll get a new phone until then, but I'd really prefer to hook it up straight to my PC to access the SD card rather than popping it out each time I need something.
Thanks!

It's a standard microUSB receptacle. You can solder a replacement if you wish to do so. But, the better alternative is to take it and get it replaced on warranty. The port failing is really common on the newer phones, so you should have no trouble getting an exchange. I did this recently for my wife's cappy..

I'm now on my third sgs2 because my USB port malfunctioned. Charging issues, and computer not recognizing phone. I'm starting to wonder if its because there is no cover over the USB port. Its vulnerable to stuff getting in there and messing stuff up. Just a thought.

The problem is that im rooted and there is a yellow triangle on the book screen, so IM concerned that they'll refuse warranty because the phone is flashed and the 'counter' is at 1 already according to the download mode . Any advice on how to get the phone to look presentable enough so they won't refuse warranty service?

A quick search revealed this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18608050&postcount=6
I'd try a jig first, doubt it'd need to be in there too long to register and remove the counter, but if that doesn't work I'd give the above a shot.

Just got mine back from Samsung. Mine is also rooted with the triangle and a counter of 2. They mistakenly thought it was intermittently powering down so they did a software update. Came back and still rooted. I knew the problem would not be fixed since they didn't take care of the loose or broken microusb port, so it is with them now. No issues with warranty or anything since it is a physical malfunction.
I made sure they put in the notes that it was a physical malfunction. Same issue. The phone was still recognized, but I had to hold the micro usb port angled up for the phone to charge. I think I'll put something like Bodyguardz on the back of the phone and get the samsung dock so the microusb isn't moving around in the port. Either way, no problems with warranties from Samsung.
U could always use mobile Odin and flash back to stock

As long as you can still get the USB to "somewhat" register a plug you can build a jig for literally 2 dollars. As long as you have a radio shack somewhere around you your good. Zedomax has a tutorial on building them on youtube, just search, how to: USB Jig. You turn the phone off, plug the jig in, and bam!! your in download mode and it reads custom binaries: 0. Then, when you reboot the phone, the yellow triangle is gone, it works awesome, and i use mine now every time I have to get into D/L mode cause its a lot faster. The building process literally took me 10 minutes, and you only plug it in for about 3 seconds before your finished. Its awesome for situations like this, hope it works out for you bud.
Im scared now, I have never ever ever had / or damaged a usb port of any kind, so how the heck did yours get damaged? I dont want to go through the reverting to stock problem to ship out cause of warranty. How many people have had this problem? If it is just a handful then Ill be less inclined to worry.
Hi. What did you do finally? I think my microusb port is broken and warranty is over. Thanks

I've done some searching but couldn't find an answer to this. No matter what charger or cord I use (including stock) my Rezound reports as charging over USB. I noticed it after updating to the 2.01... OTA. Has anybody seen this before or have any ideas how to fix? I'll also note my Inc never had a problem with any of the chargers I have.

Do NOT buy the ones on ebay... they are fake and DO NOT WORK.
I've had a handful of ebay chargers pump out "AC Charging" but never more than 200ma, even though they look legit... the ones i bought from htcpedia (2 so far) have been flawless just like the one that came with it.
The issue is that even the official one that comes with the phone reports as USB charging.

Oh wow, ok then I agree you got a problem... sadly I'm unaware of a fix... hoping someone else comes along and knows!
Originally I assumed it was the charger because the first time I noticed I wasn't using the official charger, though my Incredible never had a problem with it. Then when I got home, same thing with the official charger. I may see if an RUU fixes it when I get home tonight.

I will say this, I have a 2 amp charger, that will charge the bionic at 1.5 ah, but for some reason all of my HTC devices only charge at between .25 ah, and .5 ah. This is using an Evo View, TB, and Rezound. Not one of them will charge faster. So I think it has something to do with how HTC's recognize whether or not it is USB charging. So I wouldn't say all the ebay/amazon ones are junk, they just don't work with our phones.
The plot thickens. Went to lock the bootloader and run the ruu and it isn't being recognized by the pc when plugged into the USB port.

Yup has to be 1A an hour for the Rezzy.
I stopped by the local Verizon store today and played dumb since I'm unable to RUU and relock the bootloader and said I noticed it after the update. Since I recently got the phone it isn't too far fetched that I just updated. The Verizon rep said it was probably the update that caused the USB menu not to pop up and to use the settings menu to select disk drive. I'l just play along and stop by later saying it still isn't working. I am a little nervous about it though considering I have Amon RA and an unlocked bootloader and can't fix it without being able to connect to a pc.
Are you using the same cable for all of this? A bad cable (open data line) would cause everything you describe.
I've used multiple cables and tested against my old Incredible which works fine with all of them.

I had this happen on my droid incredible 2. The usb charge port was loose inside the phone. I ended replacing the port on the phone and now it shows charging as AC with the same charger as before. I was using the stock charger as well. I suspect with your phone the connector inside the phone has come a little loose. The USB type will charge fine just at a slower rate from what I saw with my phone.

Sorry I don't know of a way to tightening it without replacing the whole port. You may want to bring it in to Verizon if the port is loose.
Today I woke up and found that my phone wasn't charging. When I plug in my charger it feels loose and moves around. Tried buying a new charger and same thing. Its like I have to hold the thing in a certain place for it to chaste and as soon add I let go it stops charging. I did just flash a new rom last night, not sure if that has anything to do with it. Any suggestions? Phone is 2 yrs old and out of warrenty.

when you say that your charging outlet feels loose, do you mean the area that you plug your charging cord into on your phone?
You might need to replace the micro USB port on your phone. I sent my phone to MobileTechVideos and they replaced it for me. It'll cost about $35 for the service though.
Like when I plug my phone in to charge, it kinda wiggles around like it shouldn't. It should just plug in and be tight. Not sure how this happened. Is there anything else that can be done other than sending it in? I don't have another T-Mobile phone to use in the mean time

No. I doubt that the installation of a virtual rom would cause the damage of a physical charger jack. However, that day, did you violently yank the charger cable out of the device? Or anything to that sort?

Nope, ive always been really careful with this phone. i think its been getting loose the past 6 months or so. I realllly dont want to get a new phone. I really like my Vibrant
I just want to know that if I send it somewhere that they can actually fix it. I can connect and mount if I need to, but its just odd that I have to hold it a certain way for it to start charging. When i put it down it stops. Tried 3 different chargers, all from tmobile store.
I actually just flashed ICS passion and had the same exact issue. I never thought it could be due to the flash and assumed it was just hardware.
For me, what fixed (or helps) this issue -
Plug the cord in so its sticking in the charging slot as best as possible, than flip the phone on its face while the cord dangles off of a table or whatever you charge it on. (this puts pressure against the cord/phone slot in the reverse direction, and at least for me, would charge the phone)
Hope that made sense and helped!
Ok, im trying to figure out why this phone wont charge or connect to pc via usb. I have done testing on the port, and it appears the port is good. and it seems to be making good contact with the board. I have posted pics of the port and the area that connects to the board. I have checked the continuity from a cut usb cable i have, plugged it in port and have good continuity across all the pins of the port. My question is, are the pads on the other side of the pcb points for the usb port? becuase i have no continuity on any of the points with any pin in the cable. the phone turns on, i bought a brand new battery and screen for the phone, i got it for free from someone and it was completely shattered. I have about 75 dollars invested in it. It works perfectly, completely virgin no root or unlocked bootloader. Running the latest update.
I also posted a pic of the jtag pads, there is no continuity on any of those either to the USB. Nor any other pad on the board anywhere. And i think thats odd, there should be one somewhere.
Sorry if i posted this in the wrong area, mods can move it if they need to.

Oh yea, ive done all the obvious things to try and figure it out. When i got it, they said it just quit charging, so i figured it was the battery, so i bought a brand new battery, which came charged, and a new screen, since it was shattered. It turns on, works perfectly, but it will no charge or connect to pc. ive tried 4 or 5 different cables, and ive wiggled and bent and pushed and pulled and everything else on them to try and get a sign of connectivity. So far ive come up with nothing.. This appears to be a common problem with this model, i guess i should have researched it more before i spent so much on parts for it.
Maybe the circuit board is fried.

As in the port lost connection to the board/broke? or this same situation, where it just quit working for no reason? The port is working as it should, and making good connection with the board. I'm stumped. If the port was broken, i could replace the port, no problem, but im 100% positive the port is not the issue here.

Did you figure out what happened to it? Mine suddenly developed a problem last week and would appear to be charging (charging light on) but it does not really charge. The port looks ok.
Right guys I'm so ticked off right now. I bought two adapters. One a couple months ago. I lost it. Another one (the deff one from clove) a few weeks ago. I also lost that. Because they were both £10+ each its pissed me off a bit more.
My question is has anyone bought one which is good and has a strong magnet? I was considering these Sony cables that are on eBay, obviously fakes for the price they are but I'm not sure. What's your guys opinions?

Hi, I recevied a magnetic cable bought on ebay (10 euro). I tried it yesterday for the first time and after 6hours of charger the battery level was 52%. The magnetic connection is no strong and I think that cable doesn't work properly.
I will try to buy the adaptor suggest by @tonysunshine

i haven't used one myself yet. but a friend bought magnector x cable. and it seems to work pretty fine. magnet is strong charges quick. but not as fast as official dock or usb. but it seems pretty nice as most of the cases are not dock compatible.
http://www.amazon.com/Magnector-Per...qid=1411902689&sr=8-1&keywords=magnector+x+z2
I agree the magnector x is pretty good and the magnet is not all that bad, one thing to mention is that the magnector x is not compatible with all cases as the sides may disconnect the magnet.
My first one was the magnector-x but I found with that when I picked up the phone it would just fall off. Same with the deff. The problem I had with that is the fact that the charger wire seemed to be in opposite direction to the connector and therefore ended up not sitting correctly

MotoXoom bought a charger cable that does not have the cut off feature or detects that the charge has been connected the wrong way. So he basically shorted out hsi phone because it did not cut out. This was NOT a magnector-x adapter
The cable i brought doesn’t have a cut off feature? The phone has it, if you put a positive on a positive the phone shuts off.
As far as I know there is no protection whatsoever except for the mechanical small asymmetry (look at the phone connector and compare the "lower" with "upper" plastic tabs).
Certainly there is no electronic protection in the phone. Some phones survived "reverse connection", some not.
I don't think it can be any electronic protection in the cable or charger; they are designed to give out 0.5-1-2A and certainly that are most likely enough to fry the phone. MAYBE some wimpy chargers aren't capable of that but it's better to assume all are dangerous.
Has anyone ever tried one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161404030047?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT or http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Magnetic-...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item4d2641788c

Can you tell us the "week" of the device? You can go under the right flap, there's some plastic tray (similar to the sim tray on the left) there should be the IMEI and some other info, including something like 14W15 (meaning for example 2014 week 15). I've heard the ones after 18 shouldn't have the "unglued magnetic port" problem.
But yes, I really had to get the device for the 2 feature missing on most other phone (waterproof with external no-flap-removal charging and lanyard attachment point) but the S5 would've been better in every other way. Including the fact that 5>2 and it seems it counts. Probably Z5 would be perfect, if we ever get to that.
I have a pain in the bum case on atm and it will some work removing it. I just had another look at the magnetic port and yes it can be completely removed by just the magnet. From looking at the port there appears to be two pins and what appears to be some glue in the middle.
Could I not just super glue the port back into the phone?
If I look closely enough I can see that pressing down on the magnetic port opens up a smallish gap which I would assume would let water in.
My magnetic port moves too if a push it (even a little). And it was supposed to be from the new fixed batches.
WTF Sony? Metal and glass phone, parts held together by spit.
