Dirty charger port - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Curious if anyone has had crap get inside their charging port and what would be the best way to clean it out.
Got some dirt or something in my charger port and having issues with charging my phone. I tried compressed air but that didn't work.

Battery charger with stand

Can someone give me their thoughts on samsungs battery charger with stand and extra battery, i don't want to get the dock because it's to big and with the stand its very slim so I can slide in my pocket every where I go.

My battery is going down even when charging

Why?

A) Youre charging from a USB port which doesnt supply much power so if you use the phone while its charging the phone drains faster than it charges.
B) Youre using a charger that was originally intended intended for low power devices like bluetooth headsets in which case the same reason already given applies.
Also, wrong section.
Sorry, also I'm using the charger it came with but I'm using 2 USB extention cables

i would imagine that it would probably be one of those extensions that is slowing it down because it cannot handle the AMPs. see which one is "hot" and thats probably the one.
Ill try, thanks

Are you using the phone while it's charging?

What's the purpose of the extention? If you're trying to find a good place for wireless tethering, that could very well be draining your batteries.
Is there anything else you can try charging with the current setup for comparison?

charging problems

I have a rooted skyrocket running stock rom and when I am charging and using it at the same time the touch screen goes crazy. Has anyone experienced this and what can I do to fix it?
Like it'll lag to unlock? Or get stuck/freeze on the lockscreen?

I'll be scrolling website and it will select instead of scroll or be brousing through photos and instead of going to the next pic the current one will zoom. When I'm typing a email or text it puts the wrong lettoer up or don't space. The screen just does crazy things.
It only does it when its charging because when I unplug it the crazyness stops
Same here. My phone has a mind of its own when charging. Off the charge and its fine..

What charger are you using? I think this is revered to as a "grounding issue"
I notice it when using really powerful chargers
1a and lower don't seem to cause the issue

Listen to the cube when it's plugged in.. If you hear a high pitched whine you need to have at$t replace your charger and possibly your battery.. At the least your charger, battery is just a hey give me something.

Guy I bought my SR from had three of them and had to have all of his chargers replaced twice.. One of them three times until he got good ones.. And the one he gave me wasn't good.. I ended up using my i777 charger and throwing the cube one away.

Phone to phone charging?

Would it be possible to have a double ended micro USB cable that could plug into to phones and have an apple that could determine which phone got charged? Since phones can stop themselves charging ect could they give the current out?
Sent from my GT-I9000 running remICS-UX using XDA premium
From what I have seen, the usb ports on phones don't provide power, they are used strictly for data, and charging the device itself, not other devices.
So there's no possible way it could do this? I just think it would be a really useful thing to have

Charging

As this SG3 ages, it's getting harder to charge. Im having to buy new cables as well as bend, twist, shimmy, shake & do other creative tricks to get it to charge. Does anyone have any tips, tricks or suggestions that may help?
Check Amazon for a qi wireless charger, and also get a qi wireless receiver for your s3. It's a flat card with contacts, you just lay it on top of your battery (making sure the contacts are lined up), put the cover back on and poof, you charge completely wirelessly
This is the charging pad I got (but there are less expensive ones): http://www.amazon.com/gp/other/aw/d...6lMu6WT3Yl7h3k9T/JvVKlsYqVKlSA/9k=&precache=1
Stupid Amazon links...Lol.. here is what the receivers look like: http://www.amazon.com/gp/other/aw/d...oQhAbNnqhGRvIIQgMg5JwFtyEIFQhCD//Z&precache=1

Nah, its not defective; the micro-sd pins are worn out. It just old...its seen over 1.5 yrs of hard use. But it has definitely been a good one.
Ok i had my fone since 2012 still running strong. Jst has a crack in the left corner of the screen.

I love the koolpad (the 1st link). I have two of them and I haven't charged any other way since. I believe it charged equally as fast as when it's plugged in directly
