I have yet to see this issue reported anywhere so was wondering if anyone was having the same problem.
After having the phone charging in the wall my vibrant has started piping up with a notification that usb has connected even though it's not plugged into anything. Rebooting doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas?

Does that when I charge it in my car. I just ignore it.

Does that with my wall charger but I suspect it is happening bc my puppy chewed on the cord. Didn't get all the way thru though and it still charges fine

My phone has been doing the same thing. Says usb connected when nothing is plugged in. stovk firmware, only rooted. Just happened this morning. Apparently many other people have been having the same problem. Can't seem to find a solution yet. Reboot into recovery and wore cache sill no luck. I heard wiping data doesnt work either.
I'm having the same issue but on the Fascinate. I thought that this was do to the Voodoo lagfix so I removed that but it's still happening.
I'm rooted and have CWM loaded but no other modifications.
For me, the USB notifier keeps popping up every second or so. I can't reboot the phone as it still thinks it's connected and shows a battery symbol that isn't charging and then dims. To complete boot I have to either 1) plug in a powered usb cable or 2) pull the battery.
I've had the battery out for 15 minutes and that usually stops this from happening for a day or so. I have no idea what's causing this but I'm leaning towards this being hardware related. Possibly bad battery? I don't know. I have experienced this in my car too.
Some other thoughts, does this phone react differently to different USB cables? I know it's odd, but when I plug into my wall jack using a generic cable I don't get the notifier at all, when I plug into my car with the Samsung cable, sometimes it appears. Of course, it's more of a problem when it appears when no cable it pushed in and it cycles on and off.
Does anyone with this problem have a spare battery they could try?
That happened to me before. I rebooted and that didn't fix it, so I did a master reset and that cleared it up. It was kind of pain to redo everything, but not too bad.
Someone else posted over at Something awful the following:

I had a really fun day with my Vibrant yesterday. Interested in seeing if it repeats today. I was on the phone when it just randomly shut down. I was a little surprised, since it was plugged into the car charger and shouldn't have run out of batteries. Then without me pressing any buttons, it boots itself up. Then over the course of the evening it does the following:
* Repeatedly turn itself on then shut itself down while plugged in.
* Repeatedly display the "USB Connected" dialogue while not connected
* Refuse to recognize USB actually IS connected while plugged in to the computer.
* Randomly turn itself off if not connected to USB
* Automatically turn itself on whenever plugged into the USB port.
* Refuse to turn on if the battery cover isn't attached.
Plus some other stuff I'm probably forgetting. I have no idea what started all this.
This continued in more hilarious fashion yesterday when I took it to the T-Mobile store and the rep couldn't get it to boot (it would just give the spinning wheel for a few seconds). The rep called in for a warrant replacement.
I told him it would get past that screen if plugged in. Sadly, I was going out of town and left my USB charger. So I found out if I blew into the USB charging port right as I pushed the power button it would boot.
I charged it overnight and today it continued the errors (repeatedly USB connected while unplugged, etc). T-Mobile tried to push the JI-6 update again. It bricked my phone, again. I went into Odin and restored it to stock, again.
Then I manually applied the JI6 update via ODIN. Phone has been working flawlessly since then.

Maybe coincidental but I just blew into my USB port and the notifier stopped flashing on and off.
Serveral ways to do it and it is actually all over this thread as it appears to be a pretty major issue lately. I also had it on my phone, called tech support and they said it was a known issue and JI6 had the fix. I couldn't get the fix since i was on a third party ROM but was able to find Bionix 1.9.1 that has the JI6 update built in and flashed it and have been without the USB annoyance since. So, to fix you can flash a ROM with the JI6 update built in OR use Odin to flash the JI6 to your phone. For me using Rom Manager is easier than Odin.

I suppose this wouldn't be possible for me as I have the Verizon Fascinate. Our update 2.1 - Update 1, DI01 didn't include a USB fix that I'm aware of.
any body have fix usb connected ?
i've done all which is writes around the internernet after reading 400+ web site threads/posts still not able to solve, Please if anybody have done please share with us
thanks
the vibrant seems to do that when you have a cable that is wired for data transfer, the vibrant sometimes gives you the message even when your not connected to a computer, (I.E. connected to the wall) if you use a cable that does not do data transfer (it will specifically say not for data transfer on the package) then it will never pop up. Rocketfish makes one of these type cables, its usually more convenient to just deal with the notification rather than getting a special cable though. I only got the charging cable cause the data transfer cables were pretty expensive at best buy. the power only cables are a bit cheaper.
@firely
i think you don;t know my all story ;-)
actually without connect charger or usb cable i'm not able to turn on my phone,
after on usb connected message appear at left side top,
i want to trade my phone (its brand new like get before 2 weeks)
that's way i want to solve this problem, Phone Should be on without any power connected like usb and charger,
its my story
USB Issue Perhaps Larger Then It Seems
My update on this, no one seems to have presented a solution. Flashes, kernels, etc don't fix. The problem is it incapacitates your phone, as there is no internal SD card mounted since it thinks USB is plugged in. Can't download songs on SD card, can't power on without it plugged in and seeing battery indicator first. Then last night on top of everything, my market showed downloads that I didn't authorize. Strange behavior, I have put bionix, know how to ODIN, etc, but nothing so far has fixed this USB connected / mounted issue and it seems like I have to return this. I'm worried there is a virus associeted with this behavior. I don't download apps that appear dangerous, (sex related, obscure, not without many downloads or robust developer site). I have a friend who has JI6 but has never rooted or modded and around the same time, Halloween his started this too. Power indicator still indicates charging after unplugged, USB connected constantly flashes off and on, battery life is worse. There is soemthing deeper seemingly happening because rebooting, resetting data, wiping dalvik cache, does not give me the basic ability to turn on phone without USB connection. App settings, I say choose on connect. Finally got computer to recognize again as a drive, but inconsistent, tried to reinstall USB drivers on win7. over all really wonky behavior since it powered down while on charger a week or so ago. Sometimes plugging into wall charger gives error. Only way to get it to stop showing USB message was to unmount phone storage, but now I don't even get options to mount or unmount phone storage. love this screen and have loved modding but frustration is sinking in, will try to get tmo to replace with this, but hoping it's not a larger virus related issue, would be scary deal.
hey said it was a known issue and JI6 had the fix
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't think so: I have the rooted JI6 on the phone incl. Clockw.
Yesterday I see also that the USB cable "should" be connected, after I have enable the Debug-Mode, the red Triangle comes too in the status bar.
That's all in the Underground station
A reboot helps on my side.
USB Woes Continue, Phone Meltdown
This is not just a debugging / reboot issue in my case, it is also effecting my friends who doesn't have bionix, just the JI6 build TMO OTA update. THis is a serious bug, perhaps brought on by a virus who knows, but my buddy who has this same problem is now going ballistic and running into the arms of apple. there is no resolution to this issue throughout the forums. Tmo is exchanging with me, and I have installed multiple ROMs, know how to search forums, kernels, ODIN, all that. Now my radio for cellular doesn't turn on and I have to reboot, it just seems pretty hosed at the moment and I find it coincidental that my friends phone (he is a technical design guy) is having the same mounting SD card issue, basically bottom line is, the thing won't turn on without being plugged in and flashing back to stock, different roms, still will not mount the internal SD card, or recognize it in many cases. I have reformatted, cleared davlik cache, most options from recovery, no dice. can't download to SD card, because it always thinks USB is connected, even when the device is turned off. i hope this resent one works fine and I will document the details since this happened for the hard working devs to have details that maybe can be discovered, but the most worrisome part is that it seems like it may be virus related. I hope that's not the case and just odd coincidence. There is no changing USB settings or debugging combinations that will solve this issue in my experience.

I just got this issue as well and nothing has worked for me so i'll be replacing it with a new vibrant but I wont have a phone for about a month! Does anyone know if tmobile rents out phones?

also if i wasn't clear enough please feel free to ask questions because i am stuck on a 1.6 stock ROM and i miss hero thankyouagain
Mine has the same problem, I'm waiting for the replacement to get here.
do you know the last thing you did before it stopped working?
Similar Problems -- Am I screwed?
I have a similar problem. I don't know exactly what happened before the problem started (I'll detail my best guesses in a sec.)
Here's what's happening:
* There's no USB connectivity -- not on Mac OS X (10.6) nor on Windows XP. I don't ever get the USB icon nor the chance to mount the phone as a drive.
* It drains the battery realllllllly fast -- my 1500mAH batter went from 100% to 15% in 20 minutes. With the screen off. Bluetooth and WiFi were both off.
* It charges VERYYYY slowly. 2+ hours on the DC charger in the car did not get me a full charge. The LED thatused to indicate charging does not light up anymore when plugged in.
* It is very hot to the touch. At one point Battery Life Widget was showing a temp of 108F.
* Re-installing CyanogenMod 4.2.9.1 does not fix the problem, nor does rolling back to 4.2.8.1
* I've tried several wipes and that did not work either.
The last things I can think that I did before the problem occured:
* I accidently plugged in the mini-usb cord that goes to an AC adapter on a CallPod instead of into the callpod adapter (i.e., it was plugged into the cord that goes to the wall.) This was for about 5 seconds before I realized the mistake.
* I had installed CyanogenMod 4.2.9.1 the day before.
* I had installed and deleted a number of sill games and apps: Fat Cheese, Dialify, and a few others I can't recall.
Without an ability to get a USB connection, I can't use Terminal to try save files to the SD. That means I can't (as far as I know) unroot it right now. But, I'd sure like to try...
Does anybody have any helpful ideas or insights?
Thanks in advance,

If your computer has a Bluetooth dongle, you can transfer files back and fourth to your phone, or just get a cheap card reader off ebay or Amazon.

Is a dongle required? I should be able to piggyback on to the Mac's built in Bluetooth for the mouse and keyboard, I think.
Any ideas what I might have done?
Thanks,
Jim
Yea if it has built in BT that should work, as long as you got somekind of pairing and file transfer program on your mac. The are a couple of free Bluetooth apps in the market you can use for swapping.
Well my usb went out when it was connected to my pc and the motherboard blew. The phone immediatly went black when it happened. I thought at first I fried the phone too. It still charges but any computer won't see a connection and the phone won't ask to mount. Its a hardware issue I guess, I tried several ways to get access to the phone via usb and failed.
so what should i do? send it to t mobile?...or call htc?......its unlocked and im using it on att.....i installed dwangs 1.6 and it stoped working
I successfully unrooted then applied the upgrade to 1.6. She's still hot, quick to discharge, slow to charge, and can't see the data connection via USB...she's going back to the retailer.
Now, I just hope that the Nexus One is real and out real soon.
Jim
@jkearns you could have a faulty battery.
@glendawg I don't know at this point since the phone is second hand. I doubt T-mo will do anything. Try htc see if the could offer a repair solution.
well now my acceleromiter took a ****.....
I just took one too, I feel alot better now.
Mytouch 3g
I have the same problem with my touch gets hot, but also when I remove the battery and plug the charger still get hot so I think is a hardware issue.
And I know for fact that some USB cords only charge your phone and no work with the computer, if you want to sync something, try an other USB cable
im having the same usb problem with my 32b but it comes and goes sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt so my question is should i take it in and have them give me the 32a version since tmobile doesnt carry the 32b anymore? is it that much better and is it easy to root like the 32b? sorry i dont mean to steal this thread but i just thought it would be pointless to open a new one about the same topic.
So I just got done with tmobile and there gonna send me a new mytouch 1.2 so im pretty exited I just have to run stock 1.6 for a couple days while it gets here and I forgot how much worse stock is

Hi All,
I've exactly same issue as "jkearns" outlines. It used to connect via USB and showed charging (very hot during charging though) but not anymore. I think I accidently got updated to 2.2.3 and that probably contributed the problem. I could perhaps stay on 2.2.3 but battery drains like hell (about 20 min life). Any idea to resolve this? Thanks in advance fellows.
Hey Guys!
So this morning I almost had a heart attack. I left my phone connected to the charger overnight and when I woke up this morning it wouldn't respond! The power button did not work and I couldn't unlock the phone or even put it on silent. The touchscreen froze up or something. I tried removing the battery but no luck. So I had to factory reset the phone, now it works but I lost my apps/widgets and customizations
Any idea why this happened? I don't want it happening again.

Any recent changes to the phone software-wise? New widgets, Launcher, or something like that? How far in the boot process did you get after the battery pull? Did the animation start, etc?
If you're running clockwork recovery (and you should be! ) then I would have tried wiping cache and dalvik-cache (if you didn't) first before resorting to a full factory wipe.
I'm running stock. The only change I made the night before was the wallpaper. After battery pull it would go to the lock screen, except it wouldn't respond at all not even the power button would respond. T
I want to root the phone but I've been having USB problems. The cable I have apparently doesn't allow transfer of data so I orderd an OEM cable that I'm still waiting on.
The cable is just a cable, never heard of a cable that wouldn't allow data to be transfer... And the problems you told seems to be hardware issues and to me It sounds like you have a faulty phone, you should just replace it.

i can actually vouch this is true, my brother had a G2 and i used my usb cable to transfer data, nothing. then i got the white one that came with the phone and it worked.

I've used cables with some pins shorted (in effect disabling data transfer), for a generally faster charging experience. I've owned a few cables bought from everywhere and some doesn't allow for data transfer especially cheap ones I picked up from eerie places.
In any case, if he was using the cable that came in with the phone, I'm pretty sure it is data-enabled unless he pulled it hard enough to damage the data line. That OR he doesn't have the correct drivers installed.
Well, lets just hope its a cable issue & not a hardware issue. Let us know how it goes.

Same happened with myphone after some app updates (think it was Google earth). Tried restart multiple times without any luck. Then I changed my sim and it worked magically this time!
Came back to my original sim and everything was fine after that.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I tried taking the sim in and out, didn't help.
After factory reset its working really great now. I'm assuming it was an app or something. Sucks how I lost everything though.
I'm still waiting on the OEM USB. Just to let you know, the USB cable I have lets the phone charge, when I connect it to my MBP or any other computer but there is no option to go into USB mode on the phone and its not detected by the laptop.
I did manage to transfer music using a very great app that I bought, AirSync. Just wirelessly transferred my music over so the USB not being able to transfer data isn't to much of a big deal anymore.
UPDATE:
So I just received an OEM cable and charger. IT WORKS!
I can finally connect my MBP to my Nexus S.
Next step: Root
Oh my goodnees. Today my phone got possessed by Car Mode.
Car mode keeps popping up and forcibly freezing any app I'm in. First noticed it when I had my phone plugged into my computer and it suddenly exited without ant warning.
Since then its just gone crazy... almost to the point of unusability. I unplug the phone and it still thinks its in charge mode!!
Every few minutes it starts beeping madly with the Car Mode randomly appearing and dissapearing in the status bar... Its bloody possessed!!!
After flashing various roms and nand backups.. its definately not a software problem as its still persisting.
Did some research on the topic and apparently its due to the usb connection. The note goes into car mode if the usb connector ports are maybe blocked with dust. Tried cleaning them with compressed air... but to no avail... the phone is still possessed.... obvioslt the connector ports are malfunctioning.
Looks like its unrooting, back to stock and returning for a new one. Luckily I only had it for less than a month, so should be no trouble in getting a replacement.
Anyone else had this issue??

I have few friends with samsungs , first time I saw the problem, With an Infuse 4g, bought off ebay, it did the same thing exactly but with usb connection, but when we flashed 2.3 over 2.2 it stopped, but the battery died in 8 hours no use.
Second my friends gt i5800 galaxy has the same problem too.
I didnt know this is such a big flaw for samsung devices, till now.
Mine sometimes think it is charging though nothing is connected to the USB port. And othertimes when I connect charger it is not recognised until removing it several times. So something is fishy with the USB port
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Well... After reading a lot on the issue..apparently this can be caused from dirt in the usb connector. If dirt gets caught between certain pins in the usb connector .. the phone defaults to thinking it in dock mode. Cleaning it out with compressed air should help... but it didnt on mine.
Another one is dampness on the usb connector.
My phone was in and out of car dock mode and normal mode every 10 seconds and telling me it wasnt charging when plugged into charger and telling me it was charging when not attatched.
When turning off.. it wouldnt turn off ... but just reboot. Then it would turn off for half an hour and suddenly reboot to start the process all over again. Totallty full on possession.
Flashed a stock rom.. but couldnt bring myself to unroot.. lol.
So went to work and left the phone with the battery out for a few hours.
Came home , ready to flash total stock through Odin and loose root in order to take it back to be repaired.
Popped in the battery and.. presto... everything back to normal. Its been exorcised I hope.
I have a feeling that all this might have happened after I forgot to turn off usb storage on the phone before disconnecting from the computer... but not sure.
Anyway. lets hope its ok.
What you waiting for man, take that phone back and replace it!
No, this bug is known in galaxy community. I had this too and things like not able turn power off only rebooting with galaxy s2 and its now on miui ROM and no issues anymore.
I don't remember what I did to solve it.maybe flashing stock again.
But there're threads about it in S2 forum.
now my note is beginning having this issues too. It just not turning off, only rebooting itself.
I will watch progress.
Extremely common issue on the Galaxy S2, caused by a malfunctioning USB port.
I had the same issue as well. Galaxy note India less than 15 days old. Not rooted yet.
I saw on a forum to try
1. Unplug the USB cable
2.On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284# Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode. The correct mode should be PDA. Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.
3.Plug the USB cable.

Definatly malfunctioning usb port mines doing the same,the real reason is the phone has been subjected to moisture from somewhere.When plugged in to pc just charges but worse mtp connected shows up in notifications even when not plugged in.After a nights charging when I unplug it still shows charging and battery drain is worse than usual.The problem is I cant unroot because its not showing on pc so cant return the phone.Took the phone apart to have look no sign of water damage but they will check under a microscope and will sure see something.Galaxy s2 usb port can be purchased cheaply but haven't seen one for Note hopefully won't be long,post if you can find one.

I am now experiencing the same bug with my Note. I think my only option if cleaning the USB port fails is mailing it back to Handtec in the UK. Dammit. This might be my last experiment with grey-market phones. I am usually not afraid of a <90 day failure with Samsung as they make a good product, but this is ridiculous.

I am in the same boat, this is my first grey market and will be my last, it's too bad the US get shaft by carriers.
Mind started freaking out last week, out of no where the driving mode just keeps popping up, and it wasn't plug into anything. Now the charging port is totally dead, so I've been swapping out batteries from external charger, what a pain in the arsh.
when I first received the phone, the setup screen was in German, so I'm guessing that's where my phone came from, shot an email out to their mobile division this morning, hopefully I can send it in and get it repair.

also keeps crashing within minutes everytime i load sd card it does this non stop, tw crashes and reboots all the times. works fine when sd card is removed or even if still in phone but unloaded from settings. wondering if similar issue. trying deleting various apps but looks like no difference. guess will send back and ask for a refund if cant find a solution soon. too costly a phone to accept not being able to use any sd card in the phone.

looks like problem sorted (for now!). initially problem seemed sorted after firmware update but then 2 days later back to square one.
anyway yesterday after umoteen attempts at deleting and reloading apps all of which failed to sort the problem, i later took a new 32gb sandisk (got a stock of 4 of them apart from a few other capacities, got them cheap for about 17£ each at a recent play.com sale) and used in the note without issues but had to reload all apps. did crash once or twice in last 24h but working fine otherwise. TW occassionally does get shut down by system and have to wait a sec or two for home screen to get populated with apps/widgets. if i hadnt liked the phone would have sent it for a refund long back. but this will do till the note2 comes along, guess nothing else will do after this one!
btw the old 32gb microsd card still works fine in other devices, so dont know what the problem was with the note and the microsd card
I just rooted by phone with this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45692679
(basically replace a file g2_security on the sdcard and reboot)
After the root was complete and I'd rebooted the phone a couple times, my USB connection keeps getting lost. This started exactly after the root, so I assume it's somehow related. Has anyone else seen this problem?
So far my attempt to fix it has only included disabling usb debugging and changing the usb mode to charge only. Other suggestions welcomed.
Try changing USB cable

I'm having similar problems
Did you have any luck resolving this?
I'm having this problem with one of my chargers, and when I plug the phone into a computer it says charging but the battery doesn't move at all.

Similar issue with mine after root. Regardless of what setting its on it will charge through the Aux but wont play music through apps like it did before in my car. Music will come out of the speakers but the car wont recognize the phone. Shows "AUX not recognized" Might go back to stock to see what it was.
I am having issues charging as well.
This morning the phone while showing the charge icon in the battery display only was at 55%. I noticed by accident that when the screen is off and I get a notification via text or mail that charging quits. The icon shows as if it charging but the red LED no longer is visible and if you have the screen on long enough the % begins to decrease. I have to unplug and plug again for the charging to take hold.
Would anyone else mind testing a text when the screen is off, charger on and see if this disables their charge?
My problem seemed to stop after a few hours.. I don't know what changed. The host computer didn't reboot, the phone did reboot maybe another time or two, the cable stayed the same. No idea what happened.
So I have a pretty interesting problem and I'm hoping somebody here could give some advice if they've ever had this problem or knows how to fix it. So here's what happened, I have a galaxy S8 and I tried plugging it into my computer to charge it, and it prompted the question something along the lines of, "this computer wants to access data on your phone" and it gave me the option allow or deny. Pretty standard stuff. So I pressed allow, and the same question was prompted again. So I thought huh that's weird, and I kept pressing allow over and over and nothing was happening it just kept coming up again. Pretty annoying. Anyways, I gave up on that after a while and went to plug it into the wall charger like I normally do, and I was surprised to see that it wasn't charging anymore even when I plug it into the wall. I tried switching ports, I tried switching cables, and nothing worked it just quit charging. And I'm just wondering what could have caused this problem? The only thing I can think of is that my computer short circuited the charging port or something, but when I plugged it into the computer again after that it still did the same thing with it asking me that question over and over again, so it obviously recognized that a device is being plugged in which means the charger port should be working fine. Another thing, when all this happened my phone was at 10% battery life, and I tried to turn my phone off and plug it into the wall that way to troubleshoot and see if that would make it want to charge. It didn't charge, and I tried turning it on again but now it is at 0% all the sudden, so I don't know why that happened either. And here's the kicker, this same thing actually happened to TWO of my devices. It's just the first time I didn't realize that it was my computer that messed it up, I just thought that my phone was defective, but it was covered by my insurance and they sent me another one for free(which is awesome). It wasn't until today when it happened again and it clicked that it might not be a defective phone but somehow my computer messed it up. Anyways, I know this was long winded but I wanted to be detailed so you have all the information. If anybody knows how to fix this your advice would be really appreciated. Thanks.

to be sure it is not a software problem, open the "USBSettings" by dialing "*#0808#". Try different settings (it shouldn't matter which one you choose, it's just about the resetting of whatever is in there. then connect it to your charger. If it doesn't work, I would reboot the device and try again...
good luck!

Thanks for the response. So I did try that and nothing changed so I guess it's not a software problem. And I actually have an update to the story. I bought a wireless charger and I figured that would work for sure, and my phone turns on but it just stays at 0% and doesn't charge at all. So I really don't know why it would do that and that makes me think that it's something wrong with the battery? I really dont know haha

Are you using usb 3.0+ on your computer?

I have USB 3.0 on my computer but I believe when it happened I plugged it into a USB 2.0. I've had issues with my USB ports acting weird on my computer before. Maybe it has something to do with that?

It's very possible as I have seen a high number of issues with USB 3.0+ and they s8 series. Always try to use 2.0 with this phone. Ive had 2 s8+ have their charging port trying to tether threw 3.0. Had to send them both in. I haven't fount the exact conflict yet but am working on it.
if you recently put it in water, it wont charge until its dry. I doubt this is the problem but its a suggestion. can you boot it up when its plugged in by holding Vol Up, Power, and Bixby? If not try the same thing with volume down. Some old phones booted up like this when there was no other way.
Good luck, this sounds like it sucks ;(
