Hi all
I am now no longer able to do data transfer on the phone as the pocophone is no longer recognised by computers (I keep getting a usb device not recognised notification). This suddenly happened overnight and yes, I have tried about 7 different cables, all to no avail.
I have tried to troubleshoot hardware as well. I have changed the charging port/daughter board with no solution. The only other thing I can think of looking at the hardware is the main flex cable that connects the 2 motherboards, so if this is the case it makes sense. Has anyone else got this problem or know of a potential solution tot he problem?
Also of note I have tried different roms and all with the same outcome. Used to work fine before this issue.
Any help is welcome ?
Same problem here. Same solution as well. My phone is not currently rooted and the recovery was reset to stock so I can't try custom ROMs. Have you found a solution to yours?

Hi, we're you able to solve this problem? I am presently unable to charge my Mozart after flashing nextgen custom rom...
Anyone can help? It's really weird not being able to charge the phone anymore. This happened to me after flashing Nextgen, and also Dynamic. When I come back to an old ROM, everything is fine...
Please.

I still could not solve the issue. Anyone has a clue?
If you are facing an issue with Samsung galaxy SII with fake charging and you think that it’s a port issue and you are willing to change the USB port for your device please stop and action the below steps 1st to make sure that its not a software issue
• Take a backup from all your data in the internal memory
• Wipe your device by dialing the code *2767*3855# in your phone app
• Open the device in the download mood and flash on it a stock 2.3.5 OS
• After that you’ll find your device working like charm
• Don’t root your device in this phase, just flash it with a stock 4.0.3 and then flash it with the root from CF-root
• After that you can flash a custom ROM and I recommend Resurrection Remix
• The idea that you change from ICS to ginger bread that you will completely wipe everything in your device so it will be as if you are buying it new.
Appreciate that the above is helping people having this issue as I had it and now its solved.
The Original Post down there
Dear XDA team,
Appreciate your support on the below:
I’m an android user since 2009 I had many devices since that date ended with galaxy SII i9100 “international edition” 16GB
It was working fine from Dec 2011 till 4 days back.
4 days back the battery was 10 % and I plugged the original charger to the device and I slept for about 8 H, then I unplugged the charger how ever since that time my device is having the animation of the charging in the battery and its giving that its already plugged to the charger.. The main issue that I thought it’s a USB port issue so I tried to clean it with alcohol and with a tooth brush gently and nothing was helping... then I found that in the CWM the USB cable is working fine in mount mood so this means that nothing bad with the port so I tried to think about the ROM, I formatted the system drive and cleaned the kernel and installed the official software ICS 4.0.3 and I removed the root.. I still have the issue and its always giving me that the battery health is overvoltage I asked someone in the local warranty and he stated that there is some issue with water with the device which I know by heart that it was not effected by water.. I thought maybe because all the galaxy SII users are experiencing overheated issues and we spent most of the time in air conditioner here in Egypt so it can affect by heat and the condensation process but supposed that the device must have a failsafe protocol .. I have a good faith in Samsung but I found that the issue is still there and nothing was treated, someone told me that it can be a battery issue and you have to install a new battery and I did changed the same and I tried to put also the battery in deep freezer to lose its volts and nothing helped ..
Last trouble shooting made was to try to remove the battery and put the device in the sun to have any amount of moisture away and I let it about 3 H and also I put the charger in the device without the battery and I found it opening without battery as this was for me something strange.
Please share your ideas with me as I can’t find help from the warranty or from anyone and I don’t want to void my warranty by changing the USB port as most of people advised to..
Waiting for your kind ideas to help me with my poor situation
Sorry for making it long for you to read all the above but I really want to explain everything I did to help in solving the problem as I searched the internet and I found that many people are experiencing the same.
Your kind feedback is highly appreciated.
i'm sorry to tell you but it seems that you do have some problems with the usb flex cable (usb socket) and from what i have read here it seems that it doesn't need for the phone to be soaked in water... just condensation can cause you these problems... so you can guess what i can advise you... replacement
when i had the same problem i took it to servicing and they dismounted it and cleaned it properly, it worked for a couple of days but i ended up replacing the faulty part

Thanks gigeaky for your support i wish i can have any other solution.
My experience is different. I just got the phone and it was charging normally albeitba little slow compared to my sensation but now with a custom rom it has the fake charging issue.

If you were on a gingerbread rom before you should know that it doesn't show you that error, but you can try. And also I'm not trying to be rude but search for this problem and read the specific thread... Last time I checked there were almost 20 pages about this problem.

If you don't want to change the part for the USB port, then you're eliminating the one thing that will definitely fix your issue.

I did all what you've mentioned and its not helping i guess its a battery issue as i tried something here .. i put the device in the download mood and its was connected to odin fine .. also now am having the device connecting as internet tethering activated on my laptop.. definitly i need a larger battery to use but the issue that no one is selling the same in Egypt
if any one know a place in Egypt selling <2000 MAP battery for Galaxy S2 i'll be glad to have this thing done ASAP.
today i went and through the device to the warranty office in order to be fixed there and they had a look in the device they mentioned that its a recurrent issue and it must be water and they will check the same and feed me back .. warranty here in Egypt is sucks like everything about this damn country.
wish me luck
Before doing anything dramatic, try the following method, which worked successfully for me:
Get a compressed air can and blow the USB input a few times in short bursts. Do not use anything else than compressed air, unless you want to run into more serious problems.
I face the problem calibration also not working and i got no ans that can solved the problem for me too now m also searching the result.

i don't know what to say...i had this problem too, and it kind of self-resolved. It was in the winter, so i guess it has to be the humidity together with the dirt because i tried several ROMs that time and all had the same result. The fake charging was still there, randomly. The warm weather appeared, the port was cleaned, the problem is gone for the moment

i guess you are getting it right also noting that i had the same problem and i tried many ROMs but we can assume that maybe the steps i followed ended the problem or the time i took to get it done was having effect on losing water from the device but believe me it disappeared automatically after 2.3.5 .. and i tried it with my friend who had the same issue and it was sorted out so i thought that sharing this would be helpful for people experiencing the same issue.
Usually it's only the USB-connector which is broken/faulty/making contact. Had it replaced yesterday under guarantee and now all is well again. Tried 'all' other tips of course prior to sending it in.

i had the same problem, did that..less than one week later, i had the same problem again...took my phone to a samsung service center...the gave me a new phone because it was a hardware problem..
I'm a total newbie so please bear with me. I have a problem where whenever I reboot or after several hours I will have no service and won't be able to connect to my network operator. I have searched around and tried various things to try fix this but the only solution I've found is only temporary which is to put my SIM card into my old phone and then place it back into my GS2 which will give me a signal for several hours before it drops again.
I'm thinking it's probably a hardware problem but I wanted to see what you guys have to say.
Thanks,
I actually have a problem that sounds like it. When I leave my phone charging a long time and reboot it with the charger connected, it doesn't have service; the same happens when i turn it off and leave it charging, then (whithout disconnecting the charger) I turn it on.
Isn't it your case?
Are you running a custom rom? It could be your modem.
I was initially on CM9 and flashed Resurrection remix to see if that was the problem. I also tried flashing a new modem but I'm still getting the same problem but this was only recently and I've read that I should wait for a few days to see how well the modem works? Also since then, I haven't seen the error while running only, after I've reboot.
I've flashed a few modems and the problem still persists.
So I'm having a strange issue. I've already checked multiple threads, here and on other forums, most notably this one: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-2/263592-note-2-wont-charge.html
I read every post and no one has my exact issue. So here's the story:
I smashed my screen to bits on concrete, but I have the insurance so Asurion sent me another one. I'm not certain it's refurbished but It did not come in the same packaging my original one from the VZW store did so I'd say it probably is.
I made a backup of my rom using TWRP (Clean Rom VZW Edition - JB 4.1.1)
Then I got my new phone out and checked it and it was running the vramc3 version, so i tried to root/unlock/install recovery via the NoYou exploit. This failed due to driver issues, then after that was sorted out, failed again due to a partitioning issue. ("error: partition 60 blah blah...") So I tried to odin back to stock without realizing the newest firmware had to be flashed using the alternate stock rom for unlocked bootloaders (even though mine was not unlocked) so i flashed that and it worked, i was on the original stock firmware again. however the older version of the exploit for the stock firmware did not work (i'm assuming because the bootloader wasn't actually rolled back even though the firmware was) so i downloaded the ota updates and got back to vramc3 and tried the NoYou exploit again and it worked, so i had root, recovery, and an unlocked bootloader.
Because my old phone and new phone have different serial numbers, I modified the folder name and .log file entries of the TWRP backup of the old serial number to be the new phone serial number. This worked and my phone was restored. For 3 days it charged just fine, and then last night and all throughout today, I've been testing it after noticing it doesn't charge when connected to an a/c outlet, and does not recognize a connection to my pc..... SOMETIMES. Sometimes it works right away, other times it takes 10 minutes of being plugged in before it recognizes it. and other times it'll sit for an hour and never figure it out. All without me moving it around too, i really don't see how it could be a cable connection issue. I tried my old phone on the old and new samsung official a/c charges and both work flawlessly every time, so i'm certain the cables are good.
So i did some more testing. I tried doing a factory reset with the rom still installed. Still had charging issues. I tried wiping everything except my external sd card and installing the latest version of the rom which is based on the vramc3 update (fresh install, not using my backup), still doesn't always charge...
I didn't yank the cable out, drop the phone, or mishandle it in anyway in the past 3 days, and the leads for the usb connection on the phone don't appear to be damaged. I also tried moving the cable around the connection while plugged in to see if something wasn't making contact and it didn't make a difference. I also now have 2 batteries, both hold a charge perfectly fine, and charge perfectly fin in the old phone so I don't think it's related to them either, and I have tried the new phone with both batteries. So here's the question....
Is this a firmware issue, or a usb port issue? I still have the old phone and if it's a usb port issue i'll just swap it with the old one, but i'd prefer not to take it apart until someone more qualified to speak on the matter tells me that it's the problem, haha.
And if it's a firmware issue, what the hell do i do? since I have recovery operational, i was going to try a few other roms just to see if anything changes while i'm waiting for replies.
Pleeease help, as you can probably tell by the length of this post, this is driving me insane.

This topic can be closed now. I looked up a video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfvOTFssDMM) of the swapping process and saw how easy it is, so i just went ahead and tried it, and it totally worked, so now it's charging fine again. Thank you to anyone who viewed this and hopefully this can help someone in the future.
I didn't read all of that. I was at a concert last night. But here what I know about the not charging thing.
In my experience
1.all the good galaxy phones do it.
2. Its not that it wasn't charging. Its that vzw turned the power up on the modems. If your in a low service or weak signal area your phone will actually drain the batter faster then you can charge it.
So if you notice this is happening. Switch your phone into airplane mode. Or turn off mobile data and let it charge for a while.
I have read about a few case's where the usb ports where disconnected. But I think the crazy fast radio battery drain is way more common.
I don't know if its the same for other carriers but I know a note guy a s4 guy and 2 other note 2 guys we all had the same problem with it.we are all Verizon too.
The original modem flash helps a lot but the 2nd one that went out ota is stronger in weak signal areas so we all use it and turn off our data if it gets to much.
