pc won't detect my fascinate but its charging - Fascinate General

When I plug my usb cable in the phone beeps as if its charging but no usb icons come up.
usb debugging on is and its set to usb mass storage.
ive tried turning off the settings and then turning them on with it unplugged
any help would be great

Do you have the drivers installed?
Are you plugging your phone in through a USB hub or is it directly plugged in?

Do you have the usb icon in the notification bar at the top of your screen? If so just drag the bar down and click on it. It will ask you if you want to mount the sd card.

What ROM are you running?

I have the same issue. It seems these phones are EXTREMELY picky about what USB cables that you use. I don't have the stock one anymore (damn cat), I have a few LG's and two from a Droid 1. All of them I have to 'wiggle' a little bit to get my computer to see the phone. Please remember not to push or force the cord, otherwise you will snap the charge port.
- Also, yes I get the USB icon
- Yes it is charging
- Yes I have the right drivers installed
Also sometimes I get "this device can preform faster", it just seems to me that the opening for the cable is a odd size and the other non OEM cables do not fit so well.

USB Issues

Just starting yesterday, when I plug my phone into my computer all it does is charge. No option to mount, no "usb not recognized", nothing. I can get into download mode but Odin doesn't recognize it.
I've searched dozens of other threads, tried most suggestions and can't seem to get anything to work. Suggestions would be appreciated.
Maybe you don't have drivers or bad USB I have 2 one only charges the other does both

I have the drivers, I've had no problems connecting previously. I've rebooted the phone multiple times.
Out of 3 galaxy s type devices: 1 doesn't even charge anymore, 1 charges but wont do data and 1 works if the cable is held at an angle. I think samsung can't make usb ports
I'm just now about to start a post asking how to change roms with out my usb. I had the same problem start months ago. First things where normal. Then, every now and then I would have to re plug the usb cable into the port to get it to mount. Then finally one time it just all together stopped working. I can charge, the charging icon comes up but no mounting options.
On the bright side, this is the first phone I have ever owned that I can just sync over wifi. And at least its not an apple device, if charging stops I can get an external battery charger ; )

My vibe is over a year old and I never close the door on the usb port. When I had the same issue as the OP it was a dirty usb port. I carefully cleaned it, which took a few times and it finally worked. Do it with the battery pulled. The loose port is caused from the male end of the original cable not the phone so I bought a new cable and it fits snug.

Over heating and USB problem

I've had my Galaxy S2 for 4 months now and now have a problem. When I plug the phone in, whether to USB or to the charger, it takes it a bit to recognize the phone is plugged in and to start charging. When I plug it in to USB it will charge after a minute, but I can not connect my phone to be mass storage. Windows can't detect it at all. If I disconnect the usb cable, my phone still thinks it is connected, with the notification for USB connection staying in the notification bar. In addition to this, my phone gets excessively hot regularly. I always make sure there isn't a runaway app, but that doesn't seem to matter.
Any one have any ideas?
I found a thread that describes my problem here.

I think I have solved the problem. I somehow managed to bend the USB pcb connector. I bent it back up towards the screen and everything is acting normal again. Read the link above for more information

anyone find a solution? my phone will charge when plugged in but only randomly says its debugging (yes i have it checked). Also, when i unplug my phone itll still say its charging for like the next hour
What rom are you on, sounds like recognition issues. MIUI or cm7 may not recognize your pc, ie charging issues, different drivers.
Also it could be your cable, if you have another give it a shot, also if you haven't tried a different usb port, try that.

@fatchuckyd: not sure what your problem is, but try this out in your setting.
Go to Setting/Application/Development, then check on the first 2 boxes: USB debugging, and USB debugging notify.
Hope this help.
@WhiteBoyAwesome: use the original USB cable that comes with your phone.

Nexus 7 2012 - USB & Developer Toggle Cause Restart

I have a serious issue with my Nexus 7 2012. I put CM11 on it and all was great. The power got down to 11% on me, so I plugged it into my computer. I noticed it wasn’t charging, MTP didn’t kick in, and I couldn't get into ADB. I figured I’d screwed up the USB port. I tried different cables all with the same results. I turned the tablet off and plugged it in and the battery started charging. I couldn’t get MTP or PTP to work nor could I get into ADB after it was charged. I did a factory reset, clearing everything, and reinstalled. Same issue.
I can use my OTG cable and TWRP to install software on the tablet. I tried AKOP ROM. It allows me to use my OTG cable but the tablet doesn’t charge. I try to toggle MTP to PTP or turn off USB debugging and the tablet locks and reboots. I try to turn off the developer options toggle and the tablet locks and restarts.
Help! I don’t know what to do with it. I've searched all day.
Check the basics. When you plug your N7 into your computer, are you using a USB 2.0 port? Is it directly mounted on the computer's motherboard (i.e., a rear port)? Are the proper drivers installed so your N7 is recognized as a Nexus 7?
USB specifications only provide .5A power, v. 2.0A power from the AC charger. Get your N7 fully charged,then get back with whether it locks and reboots.

Thanks for the reply. Yes. I've done all of that. Multiple computers, multiple cables, multiple chargers. The Nexus is at 100%.
Here's the exact issue I have now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536272
Well. I'm going to say disregard. My searches show that a craptastic 12 volt car charger probably hosed the N7's mother board. I'm going to try one more fix but I'm sure it's toast.

[Q] Nexus 7 short circut damage help, please.

So, I apparently did something very stupid with my new Nexus 7.
I have a few 1 TB external hard drives, which don't get enough power via an OTG adapter from the Nexus 7 to run. So, I purchased a two into one cable -- that is, a cable that combines two male USB A plugs into one Micro USB B plug so that a USB 3.0 hard drive can use two USB 2.0 ports to have enough power. I had planned to use this to enable use of the hard drives with the Nexus 7 while traveling by plugging one cable in the tablet and the other into a charger.
When I got the cable I tested it by plugging one of the USB A plugs into my Nexus 7, and then I plugged the other into my computer's USB port. The Nexus 7 promptly shut down, the computer complained of a power surge on the USB port, and a distinct smell of melted plastic came from the computer's USB port. I guess the combining cable didn't combine so much as it just acted like a double headed male A USB cable and shorted things out?
The Nexus 7 refused to restart afterwards until I it plugged it into its charger. It works now, mostly. However, if its battery charge is above about eighty-seven percent then it always reports that it is charging, regardless if it is plugged in or not. And if I plug it into a computer while it is reporting that it is charging I have to restart the tablet to get it to connect to the computer -- I guess it thinks it is connected to a charger and doesn't bother checking for a data connection unless restarted.
The level where it stops thinking it's charging varies somewhat -- I've had it still claim to be charging all the way down to eighty-two percent charge, and by repeatedly opening the battery app over and over again I have been able to get it to notice that it's really not charging all the way up to ninety-one percent, but no higher, and I have to open and close the battery app an increasing number of times for every percent that it goes up over eighty-seven before it will notice it's not charging.
Any idea what kind of damage I'm looking at? How to fix it? Whether I can get the warranty people to fix it free of charge? If yes, whether they will send me a new one or just fix the one I have? Whether it's worth getting fixed since it mostly still works, and doesn't really bother me as long as it doesn't get worse?
Nothing?
Nothing from anyone?
Try replacing the internal USB plug? About $25. Easy to do your self.
