USB connected msg when not

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've done a Factory Reset before when I went back to stock and that didn't help me.

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

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?

[Q] Help,Epic wont mount to pc or ps3

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?

I even flashed back to my previous kernel(Twilight) and still no mount!I installed firefox today too but I dobt that it has anything to with it.
Yeah,bassicly it just stoped working,maybe I need to clear data/cache for some app or something,sht im out of ideas.

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.

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.

[PROBLEM] Problems with connections (USB/AC charger)

Hello.
I've got a weird problems with my MM2. The main problem is connections. I am having some issues with USB and charger. First of all, let's start about USB. For about one month ago I wanted to copy something onto my phone, but unfortutaltey the computer couldn't see the phone card (It see the phone, RSD lite found it). My first thoughts were going around drivers, so i unintalled it and installed everything from the very beggining, but it didn't changed anything. The phone was still on "Memory card acess" with USB debugging enabled (With disabled it wasn't seen even by RSD lite). Second idea was the USB cable, so i've changed it to other one, but it dosen't change anything. The same thing goes on every PC. Yea, and thats about USB issue. Now I will tell about charger. So, for about two days, i just simply wanted to charge up my phone. I looked at the phone, the notification said, that it is charging properly. OK, so i left the phone to charge up. I came back after one hour, and the battery status went down to 1% from 10%~. I tried to change charger, but still without effect. My friend gave me battery from his MM2 and the same thing happend. After some tricks, I've made my phone to charge up. I just tried to unplug/plug usb. It charged up, and next day i had the same issue. Now i even can't make it charging, it is so frightening. I tried to charge up with USB cable with "Only charge", but without effect.
Help me please, this two things are driving me mad!
My apologises about all the mistakes, my English is so poor.
Roms and Kernel change dosent affect.

Maybe your USB port is bad...

Try flashing a SBF to reset the phone. Do you know to get to bootloader mode? Turn on while pressing volume up and camera buttons, then plug your M2 to PC. That's the only way RSD Lite should recognize your phone correctly.

I flashed SBF 2 times, on 2.2 and 2.2.2 the same problems occurs. RSD recognizes my phone corrently, no matter how it is connected. I said, that I have problems with USB connection, but i meant, that my PC can't see the memory card Other problems were solved, service helped.
Waiting for other replies.

Take sd card to another device and make backup of your data. Format card on ms2 and back your data. in my case it help i dont know why I have problem also milestone see and use sd card but usb sharing to computer didnt work at all, i have no idea why but changing card helped.

[Q] QHSUSB_DLOAD in Device Manager

My phone ran out of power, shut down, and I plugged it into my laptop to charge it... only it won't charge.
When plugging it into my laptop it tried to install the drivers (don't know why since it was plugged in once before) but failed.
I checked the Device Manager to see what the issue was, and instead of it listing "Nexus 4" (as it has in the past) it says "QHSUSB_DLOAD."
Now I've googled this, and read several post about it on XDA, but they all mention bricking the phone when flashing ROMs and/or Root.
The thing is, my Nexus 4 is NOT Rooted/Unlocked/Etc. It's running the same Stock as when Google shipped it to me back in Nov of last year.
What can I do to get it working again???

Plug it into the wall for about 5-10 minutes and try again.
If it doesn't work, just RMA it.

That is beyond confusing... I've never once had this phone plugged into a wall charger (wall charger was sitting in the box until moments ago) and all of a sudden it decides it doesn't want to charge off the computer.
After charging it from the wall as you stated; it powers up and will connect to the computer without listing QHSUSB_DLOAD as the device name. But instead it says Android ADB Interface, and won't let me access the device as a Media Device via Windows Explorer (in fact it doesn't list the device as connect at all in Windows Explorer. It's only showing in Device Manager)
Sidenote: While waiting for a reply here on XDA to the issue, I decided to contact Google Support via phone about the issue. The reps answer was "Contact your computer manufacture and ask about the drivers you need from them..." - Just love some of their answers to things.

Well, sometimes the phone runs out of charge and it refuses to charge from the laptop.
Have you tried restarting the phone and then plugging it again?

After root USB, disconnect/reconnect problem

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

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.
