Almost 8 out of 10 times I unplug the usb cord from my phone after connecting thru ActiveSync, my phone locks up on the screen it was on while connected to my computer. It shows "Connect to PC" at the top. The only way to have this fixed, is to take out the battery each time, or go to another phone and call my cell to have it leave that screen. Is there a process to disconnect with the USB? Are people going to the USB icon and right clicking "Safely Remove Hardware" when finished syncing their phone to avoid this? Thanks if you can share your experience.
If i got ur problem correctly, you can either tap on "Connect to PC" and see if that will encourage it to move on. Or when in doubt, always hit the Close button, hit it again and the unlock slider should appear wihch should solve the problem.
Whenever I plug my Vibrant in my computer makes the usb sound to let you know it's connected. However when I go to check the removable hardware, the Drive "I" that showed up when I plugged my phone in says "please insert etc..etc"
I'm trying to transfer movies and songs on the internal instead of the tiny 2gb card.
Oh yeah, and when I check on device manager, it shows Samsung SGH on there...
I'm confused, can somebody please help
Try and put the phone in download mode, both up and down volume buttons and power button, hold both until vibrant screen flashes twice then let go as soon as second vibrant screen appears. Plug USB into phone while phone is in recovery mode, it should automatically install correct drivers while in this mode.
mine did this yesterday. WOuld show connected on my phone, id click mount, but nothing happened. So I restarted phone and computer. All is well now..
Go to Settings > About Phone > USB Settings > and turn on Mass Storage.
Today my Epic no longer mounts for some reson to anything,i tryed pc and ps3.
It wont even show "usb debugging" and "mount" optioms in the pulldown bar!
Only thing it does is charges and orange led comes on when pluged in.
I tried swithing usb debuging on and off,tried with usb debugging off,cleared cache,cleared dalvic cache,pulled out battery and sd,mounted and unmounted sd,reformated sd,cleared battery stats and nothing!
It wont even show up under "adb devices",and I can switch "usb debugging" on and off while its pluged in-which is not normaly possible(it has to be unpluged first in normal circumstances).
Any ideas?
Not sure about the PS3, but for the computer try reinstalling the drivers and see if that does it. Do you know if you did anything to trigger this? Have you experienced any other bugs lately?

Well my stock went dead for no reason,then I used good thick usb that I got at radioshack and that went dead,now im using usb from my old Samsung Memoir which is probably the best cable out of these 3,but it dint see much use untill lately because its real short.
I dont think the cable is dead because the phone still charges-with my other two dead cables it didnt.
Plus I always had this cable pluged in ps3 for easy transfers between Epic.
I think it got something to with with my rom but I dont wanna reflash and waste 2-3 hours off setting up my phone just to find out that it wasnt the problem.
Another thing I noticed is that lately when transferimg files to ps3 it would just unmount in the middle of a transfer.

I would bet on that, the same thing happened to me the other day with the stock cable. Its only good for charging really

I'd highly recommend going and buying a blackberry cable... only like 5 bucks and I'm sure your problems will be solved.

Do you have debugging turned on? Mine requires it be on.

What was the end result of this? Did you get it sorted out?
My Epic started showing this same behavior yesterday. Not recognized in ODIN, ADB, Mass Storage mode or downloader mode. Tried three cables (two Samsung and one HTC) and four different computers and the result is the same: charges but not detected as a USB device.
Bad USB port on the Epic?
same problem for me
started having the same problem here after flashing back to stock ec05 from the new mtd cm7. im using the blackberry cable but it wont recognize my phone in odin or anything. i did everything correctly to get back to ec05 so i tried updating ota to gingerbread and it didnt fix it. only blessing is everything is stock so i can just take it into sprint but id rather not have to
i installed a file explorer program that runs as an FTP site...
and just ftp my files over...
maybe i'll setup soemthing with JPsoft.com's take command to automate it..
since it does batch file like ftp usage.
either that or tasker...
i'm a little disturbed at all the clutter on my sd card from various aps though.
Plugged my droid 2 into the dock and nothing has happened on the tablet side. Droid says it's in usb mode. There's nothing in /Removable, just the sdcard in the tablet.
When I switch Droid from Mass Storage mode to PC Mode, "Preparing External Storage" blinks in the TF's notification bar for a second, but still nothing happens.
I have my external HITACHI HDD on NTFS working fine but when I've tried to connect my Nexus S in as a drive its just blink on Transformer task bar and thats all
I would love to see my NS connected to Transformer so I can do more work on it.
Any1 know how to make it work ?
Hi.
Last week I noticed that my I9000 running CM9 has no charging symbol on the indicator. Then I tried to shut down the phone and just charge it turned off, but it immediately booted itself to OS when I connected the cable. When I connected it to computer it just charged without charging symbol and nothing happened. Computer didn't detect it, and the phone also did not detect the computer.
Then I tried to wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik cache) and flashing a new CM10 rom (I had to transfer .zip to phone via bluetooth ) . I also cleaned the connector with alcohol and checked the leads on PCB and everything seems fine. But it still doesn't work.
This morning when I connected it to computer it recognized it and phone asked me to choose USB mass storage. But after few seconds the computer reported malfunctioning USB device. After I disconnected the cable charging symbol remained on like it's still connected. Then I rebooted the phone and again there is no charging symbol and no communication with computer. I also tried few other USB cables (another samsung, SE, nokia...)
Is there anything else I can try or should I start saving the money for a new phone?

If you connect it to your pc in download mode, does Odin recognize it?

No. Nothing happens. I also can't find it in device manager.
Sounds like it might be borked alright. Though if it's still charging then at least you won't have to rush out and by a new phone. Try removing your microsd card and formatting your internal storage, before you connect it. Long shot, but it might work :-/
I haven't connected the phone to pc in quite a while tbh, I usually just download the latest version of Cyanogenmod straight from the browser to update, and use dropbox to send any files I need from my PC. e.g. new songs, videos etc. Though obviously if I was reloading all my music/videos I'd need the usb connection to work.
