[Q] Phone resets on USB Connect - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so i have CM7 RC1, and everytime i plug in the usb and try to connect it, like to put music on it and transfer files. It restarts my phone and boots up again. it never ever connects.
Does anybody have a similar problem? or does anybody know a possible solution?
thanks

Is it only when you tell it to connect to pc, or whenever you plug it in to usb?

Only when i connect it to PC, it shows the USB connected screen and has the button that says "Turn on USB Storage" when i click that button it starts loading then reboots

I would start by doing a full wipe and reflash. I haven't seen anyone else mention this issue before.

Actually, a miracle happened today. It just started working now. lol. it didnt work earlier but Thanks anyway. but i have another question. everytime i download a file on the normal android browser it comes up unsuccessful constantly. I download stuff multiple times just to make it go through.
Whats up with that?
It says its downloading, gets to 100% and then says Download unsuccessful.

Is your sd card almost full?

Wow im dumb lol, thanks i didnt even think about that. thanks man appreciate the help.

anytime. Thats what we're here for.

updated, now camera not working.

so i just installed HTC's update that they now pulled. And just tried to launch the camera app and all it does is, black screen with the camera icon then it fades back to the home screen. anyone else have the same problem with the froyo update??
Nope... but glad I waited. Guess ill hold off until next week.
no problems with the camera. It's working fine for me.
I'd try restarting the phone once more. Right after I updated and booted into the system, I tried to make a phone call and everytime I clicked call it just went back to the dialer screen without any numbers input. Restarting fixed this. EDIT: However i just tried the camera and its not working just as you described. >_<
yeah... i just restarted the phone and that fixed it. YAY!!!!! SWEET! SWEET! FROYO GOODNESS!!!!!

Have you tried power cycling? I've had that issue once with 2.1 - power cycling solved it, hasn't happened again.
I had the same problem after installing Froyo 3.26 and I rebooted a few times to get it to work and have had no problem since.
power cycling hasn't helped me at all. I'm gonna try resetting back to stock w/o my saved apps/data and see how that goes. After that, I'm going to try and downgrade back to 1.47 ota (someone in another thread mentioned it was doable.)
Before you do that try to open the camcorder app and see if it opens my friend said it worked for him IDK if it was just a coincidence.
I updated and just noticed the camera does not work. I have tried power cycling with no success.

I tried camera app, camcorder app, as well as the shortcut that was on my home screen. No luck. Also, I believe I'm incorrect on downgrading being able to work but we'll see.

same here i opened every app i have and no issues sorry to hear that bro i reopened the camcorder and camera app twice to be sure and takes pics fine
So, after numerous restarts, I turned airplane mode on so that I wouldn't receive anything while backing up and thus need to rebackup, and plugged my phone via usb to my computer. While the sdcard was mounted in ubuntu, I ran the camera app and it worked. I then dismounted the sdcard, unplugged the usb cable, waited for android to remount it, and tried again and its still working. I don't know if mounting the sdcard onto a computer fixed it but its worth a shot for anyone else having trouble.

I had this issue also with the camera not launching, it would go to a black screen for a second and then go back to the home screen. I was browsing an album of a friend's facebook pictures from their contact card and clicked the shutter icon in the bottom corner to launch my camera and that allowed the camera to work via the application launching now. Kind of strange, but I haven't seen any other issues yet.

Having a strange problem with usb to computer

My vibrant acts like its not connected to any computer I plug it into
I've tried two different cords and two different computers. One of them being a mac and the other being a PC
I've tried every usb port on both. It's strange.
I'm on Bionix 1.6. Should I restore back to stock and then reflash and see what happens?
Has anyone had this happen to them?
I seen somewhere that you need samsung drivers but I don't have a link for you. Personally I did the tedious task of sticking my sd in an usb adapter but I switched to wireless transfer after a week of that. Android phone drivers in general didn't load for me on Win7 64bit.

You got the Drivers installed right? soft reset your phone ? If that does not work, back up hard reset and check again. If still not working I say return it..

Yeah I have the drivers
Did the soft and hard reset
Can't return it since I got it off of a guy on somethingawful
It's whatever though i got a good deal on it and it still works great. I'll figure it out some day
I'm running windows 7 Ultimate and it works just fine, but whenever I use a different computer or a Mac I get the same problem. I tried almost everthing.
Are you running JI5/JI6 ? I have the same problem with these builds. I remember someone else had the same problem as well, could be a bug. What happens when you go into USB settings of phone and select/deselect mass storage option?
This is going to sound really really really weird but I fixed it somehow
I put the disable lagfix into the voodoo folder and rebooted my phone and plugged it into my brothers ps3 and then suddendly I could mount my phone to my computer again.
Even stranger I deleted the disable lagfix file and rebooted my phone and let it do its thing and now my USB is completely working again.
Anyone have any ideas about this? I've done the disable thing before when I was trying to fix it but never plugged it into the ps3
I'm glad I was messing with my phone when the battery was at 20 percent!

Phone takes forever to mount

Ever since I installed froyo, I have noticed that when I plug my phone in via a usb cable, it appears instantly in the windows 7 device list, but takes at least 2 minutes to appear as a actual drive, sometimes never appearing at all.
The phone also instantly recognises that it is connected and the same thing happens on my work computer as well.
Has/is anyone having similar issues to this?
EDIT: Have tried with usb debugging turned on and off, also uninstalled htc sync in case that was interfering but didn't help.
Do you have a lots of apps on the SD? If so, mounting it on the PC requiers to unmount all these apps from the system.

Quite a few, that might be it then. Didn't realise the phone had to do that. Thanks
That'll be the reason. It's a pain, if you use an a2ext solution it will be faster

Galaxy Note reboots at least twice a day

Its an amazing device. But it reboots twice a day. I am thinking the problem could be External SD card. 80% reboots happens when I connect my device using USB mode to transfer the music and videos
Does anyone experiencing it and does anyone has solution or work around?

Sometimes it cause by bad contact SIM card. Try clean the card's contact points or replace a new one if your SIM card is many years old.
Seems android phones will try fix the SIM lost contact problem by reboot the device.
It might be a damaged sd card too, it's weird that it happens in that right moment when you plug the usb, try with a different one and see

I have the same problem reboot every time I disconnect it from the pc
My note reboots aleatory from nothing and sometimes really freeze with the screen off and I need to remove the battery to restart :s
Any idea? I really dont want to go change it with a new one because I need to make some kilometers to change it. Was the possibility that it is just software problems and if I flash a new rom it become stable?
The Note come with one old rom (I dont know what rom) and it make some reboots but dont make so many like now. When I connect to a Wi-Fi it say that was a update (16 MB) and I make that update. Then the reboots come with more frequency and make that problem of freeze with the screen of. Today morning I make a Wipe to data and Cache (in Recovery 3e) and reset it. Now it dont freeze but make some FC with the most installed (from markt and Samsung Apps) and sometimes reset with no reason.
TY for any help.
Sorry for the bad english.
EDIT:
I see now. When it is charging(turned off), when it stay "off" (without I see how go the battery) a little time, it freeze. Could be that that's happen when is on and when go to stand-by and it freeze. Anyone know whats happen?
Double post. Delete pls.

After root, computer not recognizing phone when plugged up to transfer files? Please

So after I rooted my phone, everything is ok with the expect bugs that have already been reported by others. One new bug is that my phone is not being recognized by my computer, and is not showing the the drop down notification bar on my phone to tap for more options. Anybody else having this problem or know a fix? Thanks

You need to enable developer options by tapping the build number under about device in settings about 10 times. Then under developer options scroll down to USB configuration and pick whatever you want the phone to do when plugged in.
I don't care what they say about you, you're freaking awesome! lol it worked thanks!
Problems after root SM-G935P
I was not sure where to post this.
I rooted my S7 edge. Everything went fine and I was able to use the phone for about a week. Then I got an error about Google play. I reset the phone and it got locked on the loading screen. I tried to connect to my computer but it would not recognize the phone. I tried another computer and a few different cables and I still could not get the phone to show up. I figured the only option was the factory reset which I did and the phone booted up fine. I am still not able to connect with the S7 edge. I have a couple other Samsung phones and I can connect with those. I'll list everything I've tried below.
different computer
at least 10 different cables ( I even purchased new ones)
re downloaded the drivers x2
usb debugging is unlocked
it is set to mtp. I also tried the other options with no luck.
As a side note, I thought you do not lose root on a factory reset but I tried a root checker and it said I was not rooted. just trying to add all I know to help figure it out.
I'd really like to just get root back. Thanks for any help or advice.
