My phone just started acting this way. When unplugging from the charger it starts acting like when you first plug it in to charge. It will give the charging beep and charging icon on the notification bar. I was on stock rooted (wife's phone, she gets pissed when i play with it), switched to Unoriginal 1.4.6 to see if this would cure the issue, it took awhile but started doing it again. I'm guessing this is the reason why the battery life has gone to hell too. Phone constantly waking up. Any suggestions?

go back to stock, completely. if the issue persists, warranty the phone out if you can. Sammy's are known for USB port issues. I've had 2 phones, an infuse, and an i777, with the issue, and had no problems getting a new one, But, I was in warranty with both devices.


O and before you do that, have you cleaned out the port?

The port appears to be clean. I took some compressed air and blew it out. I installed shostock 2 this time and let the phone charge to 100%. Took it off the charger, its been on battery for about 4mn, battery dropped to 99% and it started acting up again saying it was charging. It really goes wonky when the battery drops to 98%.

Yeah, sounds like you are seeing the symptoms of a USB port problem.

There was quite a spate of them around November - I had to warranty out my phone for it. I think early on one or two people had success with the alcohol on a paintbrush cleaning method, but most took the warranty route. I warrantied before trying the alcohol clean-out, but canned air did nothing for me.

Just curious how this could be a bad usb port, i only have this issue when the phone is unplugged. The wife had it all day and she said it didn't act up. It only did it once for me after putting shostock rom on.
