contasjm, thanks for posting this. From what I've seen, most people report that a factory reset didn't help, some people report that thorough cleaning of the port helped; I'm still wondering how cleaning the port would help, unless some of the dirt shorts some of the pins. Anyway. I'm still...

contasjm, sorry you didn't have an easier time of it. I'm still a bit skeptical about the effectiveness of cleaning the USB port, but it would be a lot less work than the factory reset, maybe you could try a thorough cleaning with alcohol or some other solvent first? When I tried it (didn't...

Ehsan Taqweem, thanks for reporting. I think it's still debatable whether a dirty port is (or can be) the cause of this issue, cleaning the port (with alcohol) never worked for me, but clearing the Android System cache did. This does add to our knowledge, thanks. It would be great if you...

Contasjm, let us know if clearing the Android System app cache works; I hope it does, it worked fine for me (no problems in four months, vs at least once per day before) and only takes a few seconds. I agree that a factory reset is a big step; as well as I back things up, it generally takes me...

IsbellDL, I'm happy for you, I think you've had The Issue a lot worse than most. Maybe you're right, maybe it can be a final common pathway for either hardware or software problems. I sure wish that someone at Android would provide some clarity; lots of people seem to have had this problem...

Thaks, IsbellDL, sounds like a hell of a lot of work. Keep us posted. It's still hard to understand exactly why a bad charging board would cause this kind of problem. Also seems like a lot of people have had the problem, maybe more than you'd expect to have a failed charging board (we don't...

Sorry for all the problems, IsbellDL, sounds like you have it a lot worse than most. Sorry that the Apps-Android System-clear cache thing didn't work at all for you; it's odd that it worked so well for me, I've had none of the problem for about four months now. I'm not sure how your endoscope...

Thanks, B Diddy, I guess that's not surprising. For what it's worth, I had done plenty of Google searches about the issue and never found anything authoritative, although I haven't looked in the past few months since the issue seems to be resolved for me.

B Diddy, I'm using the OEM cable and charger for charging. I do use an older micro-USB cable with a 3rd party micro-USB to USB-C adapter to connect to my desktop computer for backup, that's only about once per week, and there was no correlation between the problem and which cable I had used...

Well, sorry, IsbellDL, that's a drag. It is very strong evidence that may put that "just clean the port" rumor to rest. I'm guessing that it must be a software issue, since my fix (settings-apps-show system apps-android system-clear cache-reboot) has been pretty durable over the past 3.5...

Thanks for the input, B Diddy and IsbellDL. I'm not software or electrical engineer and I'm just guessing (unfortunately, we all are since the Android developers haven't weighed in on this; my guesses are probably a lot less educated than others', though). It seems that if the problem were...

Sorry you caught this plague, IsbellDL. I'm still problem-free, after about four to six months of at least daily problems, not sure why I got so lucky. I really don't think it's a problem with a dirty USB port, a thorough cleaning (with isopropyl alcohol and a thorough scrub under a...

Sorry to hear that, japeyelnoc, sounds horribly frustrating. Nobody else has been responding to this thread over the last few months; I'm wondering if the problem is going away, or has been addressed by any of the Android updates. I specifically wonder if that's why I'm not seeing it anymore...

One more update: the problem remails completely resolved on my Galaxy A21. There have been one or two Android system updates (still have Android 11) since my May 24 post, and I haven't seen the problem once since then, not even showing up for a few minutes and resolving on its own. Not sure...

Sorry, japeyelnoc; I'm glad that you had insurance and could get a new phone (although moving over to a new phone is always a hassle). Please post here if the problem arises on your new phone. I'm not sure how common this is, but there are plenty of threads about it, dozens of people have...
