S8+ with strange power charging behavior - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hi,
yesterday i replaced the mainboard of my g955f. After that i rooted the phone and flashed a newer stock rom with odin. I didn't like the rom and tried to install an older one. But because of the newer bootloader version of the installed stock rom i got a FAIL in odin after hitting the start button. Then i disconnected the phone, downloaded a newer stock rom and flashed it via odin without any problems. But since then my g955f shows some strange power charging behavior:
1. When i turn it off and plug in the usb charger then the download (odin) mode comes up and it doesn't charge. But i can exit the download mode via power+vol. down and the phone restarts and boots up normally. Everything else works and looks normally, too (booting into twrp, connecting to pc via usb, turn phone on without usb connection etc.). It also doesn't charge when i plug in the cable and turn it off.
2. I can only charge my phone when i restart it, wait until the homescreen appears and then plugin the cable. If i would wait until the lockscreen/standby-screen shows up or i put it into standby and then plug in the cable it won't charge. Furthermore it wont charge after i charged and unplugged it, put it into standby and then plug it in again. But if i avoid standby/lockscreen after unpluging and plug it in again, then it charges.
I have already tried other stock and custom roms but the behavior is the same. Because of the working usb connection to the pc and the ability to charge (under special circumstances) i don't think that the problem is hardware-related. To me it seems like a file/software/firmware-problem. I guess that standby and shutdown set some status information/flags that prevent the phone from charging.
Have you any idea what i can do to fix the problem?

HELP! Unknown issue.

I have a galaxy s2 skyrocket, yes it is rooted.
My phone ran out of juice last night and I started to charge it.
I had class at 12, woke up at 11 so I turned off my phone to make it charge quicker. a few minutes later it was on. I tired turning it off to no avail. It turns off and comes right back on. I then tried to put it into usb mode so I could copy a few songs onto it....It wouldnt go into usb mode (it recognized the charge, but not the fact it was plugged into a pc) Kies wouldnt recognize it.
Did 3 factory resets, didnt work still same issues.
Also, it wont go into download mode, just vibrates every few seconds until i let go.
any help is appreciated.

Are you running an ICS rom or on GB rom or stock with root?
Stock GB with a root.
What do you mean ran out of juice? It went completely dead and shut off?

That's odd issue. Lets see did ya try to chose the option phone in USB debugging mode then plug your usb cable and check if you get the usb mass storage in the notification bar so you can activate it from there? Also check the drivers in your pc just in case. Sorry if my English sounds bad english not my natal language.
Every action that failed is cable dependent. Try a different "known good" USB cable, or test your same cable with another smartphone. Test On/off while connected, Mass Storage PC connection and Download Mode if possible.

S2 nable to shut down while connected to power - Unable to Copy From USB Mass Storage

***SOLVED****I have a Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket 2 SGH-I727, rooted on gb 2.3.5. It has been working flawlesly for months. All of a sudden, when I connected the device to power I was UNABLE to shut it down. I would slelect shut down and it would REBOOT itself instead of staying shut down and showing the BATTTERY ICON charging. Also suddenly I could not access the device as a mass storage from windows. Windows would say device not recognized. After researching for hours I came across one idea the did the trick. The problem was simple. The USB connector "tongue" inside the USB adapter in the phone apparently got bent somehow. This precented the USB cable connecting in from making contact with all the wires inside and THAT caused the 2 problems mentioned in the title. I took a very thin micro flat head screwdriver, GENTLY CAREFULLY put a little pressure on the USB tongue inside the phone's USB adapter and voila!...I could shut down the phone while connected to power, Windows again regognized the device. Who wold have thunk it?
For any of you who come across this, and I saw MANY MANY, not only for GS2 but for MANY andriod devices, and many failed "solutions", here is the answer!...
Have fun.
I think I have a similar problem.
Until two weeks phone was working perfectly fine. Then realized that the battery was getting drained in about 4-6 hours even when idle with no apps running, sometimes battery charge dropped like 15% in a moment, it didn’t indicate charging when connected to power though battery got charged and sometimes it indicated as charging when not connected to power. Phone could not be detected when connected to PC. Also, if I connected to PC after shutting it down, it automatically rebooted. This was weird.
Then when battery was fully dead and I connected to power, it tried to boot but immediately shutdown saying ‘low battery’ and again tried to boot… it was stuck in this loop.
I thought it might be android issue so flashed it with UCKK6 Kernel + Rooted System Package ((Thanks to creepyncrawly’s Download Repository)
But now, it still is not detected by the PC. It boots automatically when connected to PC after shutting down, but not when connected to wall power.
Cleaned the micro USB connecter, tried different cables and laptops.
Earlier Android: Version 2.3.6; Baseboard Version I777UCKK6; Kernel Version 2.6.35.7
After Flashing: Version 2.3.6; Baseboard Version I777UCKK6; Kernel Version 2.6.35.7
Pls I I tried to flash cm rom 12.1 on sgh 1727 skyrocket and it stuck on patching system image unconditionally n it stays there forever please what can I do?

Phone not charging, can go download mode but in normal mode USB can't connect to pc

Hi all please help me resolve this issue. The issue is My lg g2 D800 is not charging. I still got 30% of battery left. everything is working normally. There is no problem with any other functionality. also the battery is draining normally. I did a factory reset but that didn't solve the issue. but when i totally shut down the phone and connect the usb it shows that it charging in shut down mode but its take like 5 hours to charge 4%. I also can go download mode by pressing and hold vol+ and connecting usb to the pc but i cant find my phone in download mode. also in normal mode USB cant find my phone.
only the phone shows the red notification of charging when i shut it down but normally it's charging in a super snail mode. i tried different cable and charger that works perfectly with other phone.
should i replace the charging port? or is there any voltage regulator that is damage? in that case i might change the whole motherboard. I thought of resetting the phone to kitkat using the lg flashing tool that i normally use to jump from 20c to 20y then to lollipop but since i cant find my phone in download mode i cant even try that. I did rooted my phone previously but now i am using lollipop without rooting.
thanks in advance for any helpful suggestion.
I have this problem too. . .are you got a solution?

Bootloop Amazon Fire Phone

Hello there everyone, hope you guys are doing great. Well, this thread might be a bit stupid at first since many others might have posted something related to it but since I couldn't find the exact answer, I had to post a newer thread.
I have a Fire Phone which used to run great and perfect and I had been using it the other day while charging it with an Aspor Powerbank which does run great. The Fire Phone got stuck due to a few NOT FOR THE FIRE PHONE apps such as the Instagram and the rest. When stuck, I held the power button for 10-15 seconds to do a reset and it did work while it was still on charging. Now the phone wouldn't turn on without the AC power via the USB. It gets stuck in a boot-loop. Just shows the Amazon logo and restarts again. Nothing works at all, not even the recovery mode or the rest or even resets without the USB plugged in.
I did try to upgrade but was of no use at all, did try the Cynogen OS by flashing it in. It didn't work at all and the same issue persists. I have removed the battery and plugged it back in but again of no use. The battery does charge if you think it's the battery, The battery does stay there active and great. I did try changing the USB cable and the Adapter. Nothing!
One more thing, when plugged in to AC, I can go to the Recovery Mode and then remove the USB cable, the Recovery Mode does stay active on battery power for countless hours. What should I do?
Is it the USB port? Is the battery? Or is it just me?
Oh btw, I did try installing the Stock Update available on Amazon.com and the PC (Windows 8 64-bit) does recognize the phone on ADB mode. Does list the serial of the phone when connected but when side-loading an update via the ADB, it says that it doesn't read! Gives an error. How do I work on that? I did try installing the ADB drivers again but still nothing. Did try downloading the updates from other sites and even a downgraded file, nothing works. What should I do?
