Sometime when I was flashing different kernels I noticed my phone now thinks my charger is USB and is going VERY slow to charge, I've wiped my phone and switched kernels/roms over and over but it won't go back to AC when it's charging is there something I'm missing to fix this?

It's an issue with some kernels, restore a backup or do a full wrote and it should clear it up.
If it still won't work then it's hardware related
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
It seems really random, I restored my AOKP ICS harsh kernel backup last night and at first it was switching back and forth between USB/AC then after a minute stayed on USB, today I restored Cm7 backup to use the camcorder then I restored the same backup from last night and now it's staying on AC
- just to test, it's been plugged in for 20 minutes and on AC, I unplugged it and plugged it right back in and it's only staying on USB, tried a different charger still USB
Is it safe to assume it's my phone at this point?
E: If I only push the charger cable in VERY slowly, stop halfway, it will go to AC then if I push it in completely it will stay but if I just pop it in 9/10 it goes to USB
-It does this with the two chargers I've tried, one an actual removal USB cable and one that can't be removed

Sounds like the Charge/USB port may be going bad.
Well that sucks, no chance to get a refurbished one then either since I can't connect it to my computer to remove the nvflash? Lol

you could try, if your still in the warranted time, just flash a 2.3.3 rom and try removing the superuser.apk file using a file explorer program (i think its in /system/apps or something close to that). it cant hurt to give it a shot right?
I'm sure they'd figure it out just by the second LG screen with the blue background popping up right?

You'd be apprised how little they actually check for this stuff. Allot of them only check for superuser.apk

Had the same issue a while back, messing with a USB cable while plugged into it got it to go away occasionally then I think I cleaned it, its been so long I can't remember how I fixed it or if I did anything at all, its the USB port. It may be damaged, it may have some trash in there. Try blowing it out. If not send it to Samsung or see if att will replace it.
K, ya i figured that was the case with the usb port, but what about the other software oddities?
ive since went bone stock, and factory reset. Hasnt acted wierd since (crosses fingers)

Oddities like what? Download mode and the charge screen would be normal behavior when a device is plugged in to the port. Add long as there is a problem with the port these are possible symptoms.
You are correct, i apologize. I understand whats going on with my phone now. Definietly the charger port. Which it explai.s why it is acting normal right now. Because im not restarting it right now.

Last weekend, I noticed that my phone e was no longer logging changes in charge state with battery indicator pro. I thought the program was the problem and removed it. The problem remained, so I decided to see how far it went. Even with the phone off, plugging it in won't make the white battery appear on the screen, even though the phone IS charging.
Without performing a factory reset just as a test, can anyone think of any reasons this might happen?

Sounds like a bad USB port. Is it recognized by a pc? Can you transfer data?

A-ha! You are correct! I hadn't considered that branch of my troubleshotting flowchart.
My phone doesn't recognize that it has been plugged in to a PC.
Thanks for the help!
I will research remedies for this problem.
I can't get my computer to detect my phone very well, running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit when I plug it in nothing at all happens on the computer. When I go into device manager it doesn't see anything no matter what port I choose. Installed two different versions of LG drivers, tried a handful of USB cables, tried having debugging off/on, doing it with stock, cm7, phoenix ICS rom with PTP/MTP chosen and I'm out of ideas. I've searched multiple times for other solutions only finding what I've tried.
On a rare occasion it will see my phone but once I unplug it it quits again and have to start over until I get lucky again

Are you using only one port or multiple?

Tried all of them, reinstalling the drivers and rebooting my computer every time, computer sees my friends Epic 4G instantly along with every other USB device
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-4
that's a good process, but that doesn't answer my question. Lol.
How did that not answer your question? Unless I'm not sure what you meant by using one port or multiple, assuming you meant the USB ports and I've tried using the same port over and over no luck so I switched ports and same results

Holy poop, sorry I didn't read it very well apparently! Other then that, searching on Google I guess I'd do it to help but I feel extremely lazy and tired lol, got another 12 hours to pull tomorrow if nothing is reported I'll search on my way to work for tips.

Could your problem be physical, rather than about drivers? Check to see if your USB cable stays at the correct angle when you plug it in. I had a problem with a cable that sagged a bit and the connection to my PC was intermittent, I bought another cable that stayed put and the problem went away.

Or the phones data port is messed up. He did say that he tried multiple cables. Try someone else's computer instead?

Turn on your USB debugging (or ADB debugging) before you plug your phone it. When you plug it in, it should prompt you to mount the phone....i keep mine on all the time because i had the same problem

could be the physical port on the phone itself.
do you ever have issues with the phone not charging?
is there alot of crap (lint, dust, dirt, ect...) in the port?

I tried it on my laptop and my other computer both using Windows 7 64bit
The only time I've had any constant success with having the phone connected was when I rooted it a few months back on my old PC that had XP 32bit. I don't see why that would be causing the trouble though I've tried using VMWare and XP Mode to see if it showed up there but still no luck. I don't have access to a computer with XP anymore to try it out. I wouldn't really want to have to resort to using an old computer just to connect my phone to it either though lol

No, charges perfectly fine from what I have seen, I can jiggle the cable gently around and it doesn't lose the charge still.
Has anyone has had problems with the USB charing. It charges and it stops charging, so I have to unplug it and plug it back in order for it to charge. Anyone knows how to fix this?
I've changed the chargers and it's the same deal. I started to have problems after I installed Galaxy S 4G Beam. Since then I've unistalled it and installed Cyanogen 9. But I still have the same problem.
Your phones USB port might be loose, you might want to get that checked out.
If problem consists try the gremlins remover

I can't seem to find this particular problem anywhere. With my i727 off, when I connect the charger, any charger, it immediately boots up. I have turned off + on Boot - animation, sound, shutdown animation. I am on Embryo 6.11 and this has just started recently. Any suggestions?
If I had to guess I would say your usb port is dirty and contacts are being jumped.
Either that or the chargers you're using are no good.

Not at the moment, however when I get home in a couple of days I will try that again. Thanks.
Stock charger works fine. Aftermarket unit appears to be the culprit. Even the wife's Blackberry stock and car charger (AT+T) work OK.
