[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IroniX2:
Hi all, I had the same problem as all of you for 2-3 months, was gonna send it to Samsung but my screen cracked and I was sure the would have counted it a a self-caused problem ( meaning that I would have to pay for the repairs )

So I survived the problem by sticking to aosp roms sinse they don't give the error ( the problem was still there though )

And a few days ago I noticed that if I unplugged my phone from the charger it woulg go on battery immediately ( instead of saying that it was still charging ).

So I tried a Samsung rom to see and like magic, it did give me any error, I guess that my usb port was dirty and that all the plugging and unplugging fixed it

All good for me, but if you ( like me) are on a strict budget and still want to use your phone, I suggest that you stick to aosp roms, there is no error there, good luck to you all ;)

I started getting this error since upgrading to I've at the weekend. Seems to charge fine on the travel plug but from the PC it sometimes doesn't get detected. I get the error only when I unplug the USB cable. The only way to get rid is to reboot the phone then all seems well
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emexrulsier:
Just testing the only way I can now connect my device to a pc either MTP or mass storage is fully power down the device and turn it on with the usb cable plugged in. Simply restarting isn't enough. If I plug it in when the phone is already on I get no response at all the phone sometimes says charging but windows hasn't detected a device. if I unplug the charger it will still say charging and then the voltage error will pop up
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SPBoss:
How did you manage to crack your screen? I don't use any protection or anything lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IroniX2:
I also don't use any, but one night out, I got a lil drunk and dropped it glass down from waist height. must have hit a lil stone or something. A piece of me died that night ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindre.B:
Hi, i work a at a service center i Norway. I'm on the Samsung theme and i usually fix 3-4 of these problems a day.

The problem is the micro usb plug on you're phone.

There may be a tiny bit of corrosion causing a short. Tinfoil from a pack of gum.

Some even look spotless and the phone still indicates that the voltage is too high and stops charging.

The cure for all of them is the same though. A new usb sub board.

This is covered by warranty 99% of the time. As long as its not terribly corroded or severely damaged

I have the same issue since changing to ICS. £35 for a charger because this POS ice cream sandwich android update doesn't like my car charger which worked fine on GB. F*** that, I'd rather go back to GB.

I have the same problem with my gtn7000 on oficial unrooted ics from stock gingerbread.... Ive found conecting a usb stick connector fixes the problem until next charge or reboot...... some times a restart is needed to get it to be recognised and same with the charger (reboot before it is recognised)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emexrulsier:
Weirldy I haven't had the fault for 2 or 3 days which makes me believe even more so its a software issue.

If you read up many ppl who send them off for repair it comes back and works for a week or too before the fault reappears.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SPBoss:
i had this problem when i first bought it and after flashing custom rom now its fine.. I'm sure its software related. maybe a false voltage report or something
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ba7rani123:
Exactly :D thanks for pointing that out, Guys its definitely a software error :) just try another rom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bivu:
okay, so i had this problem and it drove me mental tryin' to find the solution.. i tried flashing roms, restore it to factory setting and all the good stuff with software but none of them solved it..

after much googling and searching around in web, i bumped into youtube video which taught how to change the flex cable of the phone.. (the cable and a small circuit which connects usb to main board).. i went ahead and changed the cable and VIOLA!!!

PROBLEMS GONE.. :)

turns out it was a hardware problem and not a software one.. the usb port had a corrosion..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ba7rani123:
It depends from phone to phone, Stop arguing abt Software or hardware it depends on each situation but its prefered to try software b4 :) because hardware is like a bigger issue
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodB0Y:
I do not see him arguing...just stating what worked to fix his phone.

I agree that for some it seems to be a software issue... and one would want to try different software first. But saying hardware is a bigger problem... no way!

I would rather replace my usb board then even flash one new rom, restore everything using titanium pro and getting my phone back to where I like it...

I spent over a week flashing a handfull of different roms...formatting...wiping...restoring and reading different forum's and threads on the net trying to fix my phone.

I have to say it was by far way more easier,simpler and faster and more economical to replace my usb board (about 10 mins to replace)... plus the board cost me like 8 bucks! Super cheap for what looks like it should cost 4 times as much.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodB0Y:
Sorry... found one even cheaper! 6.90 with free shipping!

I do not indorse this seller though. I have not bought from him so I have no idea if he is legit

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ba7rani123:
I just meant that its easier to change software if doesnt work then porbably its a hardware problem :). I dont mean him but everyone is posting saying "no its not hardware its a software problem" and Vice versa but actually differs from a person to another ;)

Battery Issue

Has anyone confirmed if it is related to FE16 kernel?? I notice when I upgraded to ICS ROMS using Kernel FE16. I have installed back to AOKP Rom ver 36 using FE10 and have not had the issue. Just curious if bigger brains than mine can confirm if that is indeed the case.

Thank you for your time!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ba7rani123:
Try a custom rom and if it doesnt solve the problem then probably its a hardware prblm but u said it only came after installing ICS which means that its most probably a software prblm. Try custom rom or upgrade to a newer one like if u have LPQ flash LP7...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budi.hermawan:
i've once flash ics official xlpq rom, and flash speedmod kernel, battery drains fast and extremely hot on normal usage, with a heat like that, there's a possibility that you might damage/overheated batt chip, my suggestion? stick to gingerbread, i'm staying on stock gingerbread+speedmod until theres a really a stable ics release,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Isn't Kernel FE16 for Galaxy S II an Epic 4G Touch Galaxy S II kernel? It certainly isn't an I9100 Galaxy S II kernel. You appear to be in the wrong forum.

Epic 4G Touch forum.

You are correct sorry about horning in! Thanks for the redirect!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ba7rani123:
My LPQ also heats alot, anyway LPQ is old try LP7 or LPD they are one of the most stable =).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budi.hermawan:
i've tried bro, almost the same result, any custom ICS roms ... maybe its too rush to implement ICS right now,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunnybash:
Or maybe it is hardware related?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ba7rani123:
I guess maybe theres something different in the hardware :/ between your phone and others. try factory reset and flash other kernels and see *-). Maybe samsung didnt watch out for it, try an AOSP based rom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] löwenhertz:
I had the same problem after flashing ics onto my gsII .. i opened it up, took out the usb board and cleaned the port with a toothpick .. put it back in and it works like a charm. Yesterday it came back after i ripped the charger cable out of my phone so i just plugged in the charger again and moved it up and down a bit. After that i took it out again and it immediately switched from charging to decharge again. So yeah, i think that it is a hardwareprob that is just detected by ics and doesnt give a real prob but ics has to be *****y about it anyways. So maybe a dev should stick his head into it and look to deactivate the message popup.

Hope this helps..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budi.hermawan:
i dont know if it is h/w related, because after i flash xxlpq and do clean wipe, being dissatisfied by its performance, esp its battery performance, i revert back to 2.3.6 stock+speedmod kernel and its fine, no batt drain and its all normal.. maybe i'll just wait sammy releasing 4.0.4+ :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ba7rani123:
Good luck waiting :D , am waiting for arabic version :/ still not out they say 'expected in june'
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shujitzu:
This started happening to my phone after it got wet. so I Im pretty sure its hardware related.

Not much I think I can do. maybe claim on my insurance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BLuff.Master:
solution idk if its temporary or no..

Try typing ##3282# (##data#) on dialpad

Click edit

Enter msl code

Click usb charging.

Click disable...

Click back. Back. Back. Back.

Hope that helps.

Just did that to mine.

Will let you know how its working...

Thanks.

Same thing to me over the Christmas Holidays.

Your USB port has gone the way of the dodo bird.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roy_Drage:
You've just described EXACTLY the problems I have been having for the past couple of months. I have a UK T-Mobile Galaxy S2. It has never been rooted and I have never tried to flash any kind of custom ROM on to it from here.

The problem started even when running Gingerbread. A few days ago I updated to Ice Cream Sandwich through Kies hoping that this would solve the issue, it didn't and the problem is still there.

I'll try and give the USB port a clean up later on, and push the USB connector back into place (the centre). If that doesn't solve the problem I'll either have to replace the part myself or take it into a service centre.

I'm convinced the USB port is probably damaged in some way. It's highly likely a bit of water has got in there at some point, rain water, water from wet hands (who knows) either way it's corroded/damaged it in some way.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunnybash:
replacing the part yourself is so freakin easy!!!!! It took longer to watch the youtube clip on how to do it, than to actually do it myself. No soldering, no cutting, just unscrew, unplug, remove, place in, plug in, screw back together!! I actually think that people flashing ROMs takes longer... and considering that the part is on ebay for around $6... not sure what the fuss is!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roy_Drage:
I got bored after watching 10 minutes of the video!

If there's no soldering then I'll definitely give it a go, cheers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taha_e:
I think its better to clarify everything here as follow:

1- Is it soft problem? NO it is not

2-Can this problem be solved by flashing new rom/kernel ? no it is not possible , even you change your rom or go back to GB the best you can get is that message is not shown anymore because in older roms the warning message is not included in framework

3-Is it a hardware matter? yes it is 100%

4-what is the root cause of this issue? Perhaps you have used cables (usb or charger) which are not standard or you might have used standard cables but unintentionally you have pulled the cable to the side while it was connected and the pin got some misalignment

5- is there a solution? Yes first you try to fix it yourself by aligning the pin to its original location gently but do it while the phone is off. if still got problems take it to a service center

6- any other possibility for the root cause? yes corrosion also may cause this problem even you have not dropped your phone in the water , but be reminded that if you put your phone in your pocket specially your shirt you may sweat and it may affect the usb pin in long term

7-Any other thing which can help? yes you can do alignment while the phone is on (at your own risk) and push the pin to the center if the location is ok the battery indicator will stop blinking if you push it back down you will see the over voltage message will appear again
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ba7rani123:
Sorry but I disagree when u say "its 100% a hardware problem" because thats not always the issue with everyone, some people flashed a dufferent rom and it worked perfectly
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I think that's because the different ROM they flashed which "worked perfectly" does not have the over-voltage warning message built into it... which means that it's just masking the symptom, instead of actually solving the problem.

But I have no way of knowing that for sure, as I've not personally faced this issue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ba7rani123:
Okaaay good point :), but sometimes it hpns if the mirco-usb is loose or something, because one of my charges the usb *-) doesnt fit properly because one of the hooks doesnt hold properly and I got this msg but I stopped using it and everything is fine. So its not always the phone *-).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barking sane:
I've had this problem since ICS and took my S2 to the Samsung service centre in the MBK building in Bangkok. The technician dismantled the phone while I watched and made a big thing of finding evidence of water ingress. The manager then told me my warranty was void and I would have to pay for a new main board and screen at a cost of THB9000 (UKP180). I argued two points:

I have never got the phone wet

The problem is not (to my knowledge) related to water ingress

I argued with the manager and with two different people they telephoned. I got nowhere. I'd rather buy a new HTC One X than give Samsung any more money.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ba7rani123:
there is a sticker which changes colour if it gets any contact with water, high amounts of steam can cause that but rarely, maybe someone used ur phone without u knowing... u never know :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zezen:
Toothbrush rules

It worked for me, too.

More details: My beloved rooted SGS2 with manually updated ICS started to display this message too, after some drops of water splashed on the screen. In fact, it did not want to boot at all, reentering the charging battery routine. All that just before my foreign trip when I really need it. :confused::eek:

Solution A that work for me:

Try step 2 from above, first. Brush it fine, brush it real good, babe. Some 5 minutes or so. In fact, I performed it on a phone that was switched on (see below), and the battery stopped blinking after two minutes or so! :cool:

Solution B - if the above does not work and just to make the phone start at all: press Vol Up+Home+Power to go to the system recovery screen. Then select Reboot. Instead of the false charging battery icon, it should boot normally, while beeping about the overvoltage error, of course.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beowulf_pt:
Small update on my case. As mentioned before, the SGS2 started having this issue after damage to the port (due to plugging the USB cable or perhaps some tiny droplets of water that once fell on the phone).

Cleaning/Adjusting pin inside the port helped for a while, but beware, if you do this often you can end up damaging the port up to a point where it totally stops charging and pops-up the overvoltage error even more often, quickly draining the battery.

I changed the USB board yesterday. Got a new one on ebay for around 6 Eur, as well as a set of tools for another 4 Eur (basically you need a tiny Philips screwdriver and some kind of plastic tool to pry the case open).

It is pretty easy to change it. Unscrew 6 or 7 screws on the back, remove plate, unscrew 3 more, unplug antenna and flex, cables remove board and insert new board. I am quite unskilled/clumsy with repairs and managed to do it easily, so pretty much everyone can do it. It is just a small board at the bottom of the phone, having mic+usb. There is no need to remove the larger main board to do this.

I noticed no labels on the inside or anything that would show that it was opened so, no issues with warranty.

The new board I bought is labeled "Rev. 2.3", onlike the original one (Rev. 2.2 I think). So perhaps they improved/changed something. The microphone is a lot smaller in the new board, and hopefully, everything will be a bit more tolerant to frequent USB port usage.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruva7:
Well its basically hardware problem. How did i know. If you want to know just switch off your chargr afetr that connect it to the usb port you will see your problem has been gone. now try to keep it in that sate. And remove your charger carefully you will see the problem has been goone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
i used to get this error. my usb connector was water damaged. it was an electrical problem with the board. so i changed the little board which contains the usb connector ( power plug ). it fixed the issue..

so you may be have to buy a new part for your phone. it was around $ 20-25 in my country when i bought it.

here's the broken one which i'm not using anymore.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iconata:
I had the same problem on my galaxy. I send in for warranty but my provider said that the phone was with android 4.0.3 which wasnt officialy relaseased for Bulgaria which for them meant that i have rooted the phone. But i didnt stoped there. I sent it to the official Samsung representatives, they fixed the phone, got my phone under international warranty and saved me 80$. The problem was the PBA board, and the problem occured from a faulty micro usb cable. When i connect the phone to a pc with that cable my pc shuts down. If i connect it with another cable, everything is ok. So once more the problem is hardware, not software. And to all thebreader from Bulgaria : if you've bought your phone from Germanos, send it to K&K service for warranty.

If i switched OFF my mobile it automatically switched ON. Battery drains with in a 2 hours. I think tis is a major issue. if any body sorted out the problem please send a mail to me nov2286@gmail.com its very helpfull for me and advised me to solve my problem
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Clean your usb port on the phone with a dry brush.

If that doesn't work, take out the battery and try cleaning the port with a q tip and a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. Let out dry before putting the battery back in.

If that doesn't work, you'll probably need to replace the usb port part.

One more piece of advice; unless you want tons of spam, I'd remove your email address from a public forum.

make shure the sd card is not corupt. plug it into a usb reader(not the phone, throu the usb, it will screw the phone up). then right click on the device when it pops up on my computer. click format. format as a FAT32 or else... then put the software back on. hope this helps.
