[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aftabbabar:
Here is how I fixed my usb port inside the note.

Seems like whenever I would disconnect my note from charger usb cord, the phone would think its still connected to the charger and actually discharge my phone. I tried cleaning with alcohol and nail polish remover with tooth brush. No positive results were achieved.

So here is what I did that fixed it for good.

Take a plastic fine screw driver or any sharp plastic strip that would go inside the usb port on the note. Now just push the usb pins (strip-inside the port) back. I mean to push the strip inside the usb port back and in a hard/forceful way, without damaging or bending anything inside. This has solved my problems and now I can connect and disconnect my usb cable for charging and for data transfer without any incidents or errors. Make sure the phone is off and battery is removed. Thanks god the note is working fine for now. I will still buy the usb port once it's available on ebay for a reasonable price.

Has anyone found a definitive solution to this or received and installed a new USB port circuit?

mine now only charges from an OFF position, then can turn on from there and it will continue to charge, otherwise if I plug it it and it's already on it won't charge

USB Crazy

I started to get this crazy USB problem after five weeks of owning my GT-N7000 Android version 2.3.6 Baseband N7000XXLA4 Kernal 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA4-CL886827

First noticed that it wouldnt charge from my PC USB port, then it showed as charging after disconnecting from the travel charger (Samsung)

I noted that the travel charger has a 1000mA output wheras some USB current capability is only 500mA. I bought a couple of 1000mA chargers but to no avail. The problem is intermittent.

The phone will charge if I press the micro USB plug into the phone socket and move it around firmly. Strange thing is, once I have got some charge flowing it seems to wake up the device into charge mode and it will accept charge from any 1000mA charger. But it will only charge from a 500mA charger with the phone turned off.

Seems to me this is a combined Hardware/Sofware problem. There seems to be an intermittent connection and untill a current is charging the software doesnt set up the phone to receive the charging current. Wild ass guess anyway.:rolleyes:

car mode and charging problem

Hi everyone,

got the same annoying problem a week ago:

- car mode goes on and off randomly with intervals up to 0,5 sec. So Note becomes almost unusable at these moments.

- the same thing with voice control mode.

- phone goes into charge mode without actual charging.

- even with charge-cable plugged in phone could show that it wasn't charging.

The problems are still actual, but here are some methods that helped me:

- first of all I've disabled voice control. I didn't use it at all so I decided to freeze it.

- after analyzing the problem with charging I came to the conclusion that my problem was in bad usb-contacts, because phone was chargning without any problems at exact position of usb-jack, that I found out after several manual moves of jack in note usb-port. So with help of screwdriver I softly correct position of Note usb contact-panel according to "success" position of usb-jack.

Unfortunately, I didn't find any solution for car dock problem.. It still goes on and off randomly. I can't find even any tracks of some application or process that I can freeze to stop it launching. Does anybody know how to disable this mode completely?

Maybe I'm wrong but I think that during charging the car mode doesn't go on.

I tolk an old small microSD and cut it in half, fits perfekt in the usb connection Socket. Then a small small hammer or some other thing, and some beating but not to hard. Now it works 100%
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aftabbabar:
perfect, mine has not mis-functioned ever since I pushed my usb pins inside the port with a plastic screw driver. I think I will not even buy a new usb port as mine works great now. just make sure the phone cover (USB hole) is cut out right so it will not hinder with charging misco-usb cable when you connect it to phone.

I was on ICS when it started, so i thought ICS was the problem, it was not. Now after the fix i have tryed HDMI-MHL, USB-charging, AC-charging and Dock-charging-detection. Every thing works 100% and no more dock startup in my pocket, and when unplugging charger.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkShot666:
It appears there's another user with these USB issues.

A couple days ago my Note would show that it's charging when nothing's plugged in, randomly jump in and out of car mode, and now a couple days later it'll charge when it feels like it but won't connect to the computer at all.

I've also got this issue that's persistent across any ROM I've tried: the battery drains like nothing. Even after killing a potential wakelock the Android system is eating up 85-90+% of my battery! This did not happen before these issues with the USB port arose.

If I can't get it sent out and fixed for little, I'll buy that USB replacement board as others are planning on. If we need to order in bulk, I'd even be as happy as to order a large amount and send them out, so long as those who want them pay the cost and shipping.

Mabye a Solution...

Hi everyone... New in te forum... I had the same usb port going crazy problem in my Galaxy note yesterday... Read a lot of diferent post on how to fix it.. Most of them said I shoud clean the port so i did an the problem went away... BUT I also noticed something else... For me the USB chargin cable thet came with the phone had a little bump, like extra materia from the manufacturing process.. At first it looked like metal... But when i scratched it with my nail ir came off the connector.... I think this might be the reason my galaxy started with the problem.. You guys should check the USB cable tip for sonething similar... Mabie the galbanized particles breaking away from the cable are the problem.. Not the usb port... I'll keep up testing my phone but i hope this was the problem... Hope it helps!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delphiguy:
This is a troubling development. I've always wondered why the Note doesnt have

a cover on the USB Port, I've always feared that it may cause some damage to

the phone via dirt/dust/water etc... now it seems my fears are getting real. I

hope i wont experience such problems with mine.

Charging port explanation

Thanks for the information. I don't clearly understand the steps you have taken to fix this issue. Is there a video on YouTube that shows this process? I have successfully changed the USB port expecting that this problem would be solved, but I still have a charging issue with my N7000. Maybe you can make a Video or post some images of the process? Any visual aid would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uracoin:
Seems i fixed mine

from multiple pullouts of the tight cable, the entire micro USB port inside the phone has come out by aprox 1mm on my phone(its still on the inside of the phone of course.

what i did to fix it:

use flat, verry small screwdriver

put phone, screen down on table

you will now see the metal frame of the usb port(that goes all around the charger pins)

put the small screwdriver straight down just outside the edge of this inner metal frame, and force the entire usb plug back inside the phone by pushing the screwdriver sideways.

you will see the metal frame, and the usb port move inwards in the phone, 1mm-1,5mm

fix'd!

would like to see someone else try this to confirm, but i can connect, dissconect, remove battery etc etc, and the problem has not come back after 30 minutes of trying to recreate the charging error.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 20inchtofreedom:
clean your usb thoroughly with an alcohol wipe.... I had a similar prob and fixed it this way.. it did however take 5 attempts each time my note behaved differently.. I stuck a thin piece of plastic on the underside of the tab with the pins attached to stop it flexing, then used a nail file wrapped in an alcohol wipe on the pins... keep going until the wipe comes out clean (it will get little black marks where it come into contact with the dirty pins)

The best way to dry a phone or to remove moisture is to place it in a air tight container in which you have to put lots of silica moisture absorbing packets, take out the battery and cover and place the phone inside the container seal it air tight and keep it in the shade for 24 hours. I did this when my palm treo got exposed to rain. It helped me to revive the phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
In my case I fixed it by running a small file on the battery contacts on the device (very carefully) and on the battery. They seem pretty susceptible to moisture.

My battery was showing Over Voltage and as if the USB charger was connected when in fact it wasn't.

The above fixed it for me!

Cheers!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] izico:
I've 2 Samsung phones, Google Nexus S and Galaxy Note.

Both have this problem; and I cleansed them with the industrial PCB cleansing solution to cleanse the USB socket each time when it's not working well, and it works well then for some time. But gradually it begins to occur again after some time and it needs be cleansed again.

It's annoying, I disassembled both phones in the hope to replace the mico-USB socket totally, as I think the root problem is the bad quality of the micro-USB socket, as I found no this problem on my other phones from HTC or Huawei.

I bought the same kind of micro-USB sockets on the market and soldered it on, but the USB port is totally not functional now, my soldering skill is quite good, although the lead-free PCB of Samsung is a little not that easy.

I'm not sure if I should go to the downtown phone market in shenzhen to get it repaired? I'm not sure if they can do it or just make it worse.

I feel that Samsung is intentionally using bad quality USB sockets on its phones for users to update the phones quickly, because the USB socket is not a quality issue of manufacturer so they may think that the user is not complaint about their own quality.

I think its very possible but it is a matter of devs bothering to do that. Only viable way to do that really is dual boot and thats always hard, why buy an android phone only to completely replace the OS.... but then again tegra has always had problems so maybe there will be a compatibility issue there.

Follow the debrand guide by Casey in the sticky. Had same firmware and it worked for me.

Your HTC7 Mozart is same as mine?And it works,wich branded rom you choose?
[7 Mozart General] bazza155:
I used the roms within the first post, and it debranded my Mozart, although there was a slew of updates via Zune after.

Use the two linked roms, and your Mozart will be debranded and only HTC will be seen.

Edit: Yes, my Mozart had the same version firmware as yours. Follow the debrand instructions and you will get the update for tethering.

Thanks bazza155 ,ill gonna trie then i out here the feedback ;)

[7 Mozart General] bazza155:
The Mozart will be in US English, wouldn't you prefer Portuguese?
[7 Mozart General] mudja:
yes,will,be availble?
[7 Mozart General] bazza155:
It is the European rom you're using to debrand, but as far as I can tell, you can't select Portuguese with the display language. Only ones available are: Deutsch, English, Espanol, Francais, or Italiano.

All other settings have Portuguese available.

EDIT: Looking for a ROM that will have your native language.
[7 Mozart General] mudja:
I did not understand, the ROM is ready or not. If you are ready where I can find it?
[7 Mozart General] bazza155:
Sorry, there is no Portuguese displaying ROM (As far as I can tell). You might be able to find one... Or if you're happy to use English but have everything else in Portuguese (Keyboard and locale), then you can just carry on using them roms within the debrand thread.

Help me please,i dont want brick my new phone,show me some tutorial

i´m portuguese,is there a nice rom whith PT language? "
[7 Mozart General] bazza155:
I'll look for a custom ROM that may have Portuguese. But not sure if I can find a Portuguese guide. You will need to use the Orange UK 1.22.061.10 from the original debrand thread, before any ROM anyway.
[7 Mozart General] mudja:
And how i do that,is there any tutorial?
[7 Mozart General] bazza155:
Sorry, I didn't read everything you typed. It appears you have done the debrand already, but have the latest bootloader.

I was under the impression you were still not sure on what to do, and were waiting for a Portuguese ROM.

As far as I know, there isn't a way to put a custom ROM onto that bootloader version just yet. It will be coming I'm sure, but not sure it is out yet.

You could always go into settings and under location select Portuguese for as much as you can.

You will have all the functions of that phone now, albeit not in your prefered language. I was still looking for a ROM for you.

No my friend,i dindo do anything,because i never had mobile with windows,only android,i dont know how to debrand and thats the first thing,then i want to know how to install a custom rom,are understand now?

Ok,one last question,(im sorry) and what is my SPL,check above and tell me please,because i dont know what is SPL or where can i find it

SPL is the bootloader. So that means yours is version: 5.11.2250.1(133487)

ahhh.ok,so i´ve to downgrade to 4.xxx,right?

[7 Mozart General] mudja:
ok,so and i can make in tha guide that you put here,right?

Using that downgrade guide should downgrade your bootloader. Once it's downgraded you should be fine to follow the instructions for a custom ROM.

Since last week the GLONASS-network has worldwide coverage.

This is good news, as we now have another positioning network next to the GPS-network.

But even better news:

Yesterday Qualcomm revealed that (amongst others) the Desire HD has built-in support for the GLONASS-network, according to this page of Qualcomm's site:

(For those not in the know, the DHD has an S2-processor).

When using GLONASS together with GPS one gets a more precise location, an accuracy of 2 meters instead of 10 meters.

Also one gets a faster fix on one's location and of course there's a higher reliability, with twice as many satellites to lock on to.

All-in-all good news :)
