Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can help me with my Samsung Galaxy Note issue. Ive had the phone for about 3 months now, and have already had it sent back to samsung for repair because of the same problem i'm having now.

I'm having problems charging the phone, it keeps connecting to the charger, then disconnecting, making it impossible to charge. When it does eventually charge, the phone automatically enables and disables car mode on a second to second basis. The phone is impossible to use.

When i sent the phone back first time, they replaced the USB assembly, but since i am having the same problem im starting to think its a problem with my phone, or my charger, perhaps.

Could someone advise on the problem, and how i am best to get it sorted?

Thanks

Mark
 
Hey. same thing.... (i think)

I have a Sony deck in my car. And usually I play music through Bluetooth. But I wanted to be able to charge my phone by plugging it into the USB on the Sony deck.

The first time I did - no problem. charged the phone.

Now for the last few months every time I try - it connects, and then beeps and disconnects and connects etc etc....

Tried resetting the car deck, and re-powering the phone.

Just yesterday - i took out the usb cable I am using for charging it in the car - and I have a new cable sitting right here beside me that I am going to try the next time I use my car.

I'll let you know cuz it sounds identical to what happens to mine.

BUT - i do not think it's the phones fault. Cuz i can charge it just fine from any computer or wall adapter.
