Hello
I'm having some USB problems:
The device seems to disconnect after a few minutes, sooner with intense usb activity (like copying files)
I tried with 2 cables, 3 computers and with both XP and linux
However 3 days ago it didn't seem to act like this, altough at the time I didn't use the device so much (I was busy exporting/importing the contacts into HTC)
I tried hard reset, didn't work
I can only think of 2 possibilities: either there is a problem with the usb driver in the device, ori there is some problem with the electrical connection somewhere on the device
So, the question is - does anyone else experience the same problem?
Thanks
I think, that device disconnects when it goes to sleep mode (my device does it). When it is on USB, it acts like it it on charger, so simply make charger sleep time longer. It is quite annoying, but only solution so far.
No, it's not that, my device doesn't go to sleep when connected to a power source, anyway I tried to disable sleep mode completely and it still gets disconnected.
Interesting, the device still belives it's connected (I see the icon at the top of the screen), but the PC end is down.
Never had such issue. Maybe you could try to contact HTC Tech Support... But as the hard reset didn't help, I'm sorry to say, maybe you should consider a warranty claim. Might be a bad connector or something.
Ups sorry, i didn't read correctly the original post.
Maybe, it´s will be the energy-management from PC?
Look in device-manager in the properties of the USB-Port, try to disable the "Energy management". Please post the result here.
Greetings Mirko
Tried that too. Same result
Hello 4EST,
please use only the origional USB cable to connect PC and XDA! You got to pull the Mini USB side as you can´t see the silver part!!!
The connetion lost when you act at the cable?
Somethimes it seems only to be connectet right.
Greetings
Rescue01, I used the original cable, the problem is exactly the same.
Here is an update:
I sent the device for reparis to HTC. The device came back "reflashed", but the problem still pesisted from the first power-up. In other words, they fixed nothing, didn't even bother to check if it worked right
I sent the device back again for repairs, very angry, talking to the call center. This time they opened the device (I can see it on the screws), did something to it, then reflashed the device again.
And it worked perfectly, with all the cables and the computers I tested before........for a while....... Because after ~4-5 days of usage the problem started to reappear more and more.
Now, as I just tested, the USB gets disconnected after only 5sec of reading from the device. Sometimes it lasts longer, like 2 min
So my opinion is that there is an electric problem, I would guess with the USB connector
Unfortunately for me, the service center even if they fixed the problem last time, they did NOT checked for it before fixing it and assumed everything was ok the first time and blaimed the USB cables/computers for the problem. They said something like "sadly, after checking the electrical connections and reflashing, the device works perfectly". And it did for a few days...
Here is an update:
I send the device for the 2nd time to the service center, this time calling them angry about not fixing it for the 1st time.
The device came back quickly. This time they opened the device (I can see it on the screws), and the USB connection actually WORKED!..........for a while.....
After 3-4 days it started disconnecting again, having less and less USB connection time.
Now I have to try to get it conencted, as sometimes it disconnects right after connecting

Around 24 hours after upgrading my Samsung Focus (on Rogers) to Nodo, the phone started having a weird notification bug... I think it may be a hardware issue unrelated to NoDo but thought I'd post here in case any one else is seeing this or in case anyone has ideas on how to test/fix it.
Effectively the screen won't stay off and the phone keeps making a notification sound. If you push the screen off button within a second or two it re-lights and makes a "de-de-de" sound (and keeps repeating that sound randomly - anywhere from every half second to every few seconds...). This sound is exactly the same sound as when you plug the phone into the charger. I think the phone must somehow be triggering a charger notification for some unknown reason (note: the battery doesn't show changing nor does it drop down when it makes the alert sound).
What I've tried so far to debug this:
- Removed Battery, restarted phone
- Turned on Airplane mode incase there was some push notification causing it
- Tried fully charging phone (notification started happening when battery was around 1/3rd charged but still happens fully changed)
- Did a hard-reset - still get the sound with no applications installed/setup
- Checked the battery diagnosis menu (doesn't show anything unusual)
Only other step I can think of would be to do a restore from Zune... suspect this won't change a thing though. The phone had worked flawlessly for 4 months and this error started 1 day after installing NoDo - suspect that is just a coincidence though...
For some reason the alert seems to stop for a while (e.g. 5 to 10 minutes) and then restart. I can put the phone in vibrate mode to make it bearable, but battery life is getting drained...
Any one else see this before or having any ideas? Guessing the phone needs repair but thought I'd check.
Battery Icon
Yes, I have seen it. My Focus did the same thing, but I believe it may have been a battery icon notification. It has something to do with the mini USB port that is used for connecting to the PC. AT&T told me it is a known problem on Samsung phones but was supposed to be fixed in the update. Mine has stopped doing this but I know it can reoccur at anytime. I am waiting for the AT&T US update to see what happens. Try attaching to your PC, let Zune launch, turn off Zune, turn off your phone screen, disconnect your phone. You may have to do this a couple of times. For me, it stopped doing this whenever the plug was inserted in the phone USB port.
Did you happen to get the firmware update package that should be available after installing the March 2011 update?

A firmware update? where?
I didnt get this update. Any rogers users that did? I unbranded nodo then rebranded and nodo again and nothing....
Update
When I was troubleshooting with the AT&T Tech Support Center for devices I was told it would be in the upcoming AT&T update for the Samsung. I had the impression it was the NoDo release specifically for the Samsung. You need to ask this question of Samsung users who got the NoDo release, more importantly, those users who may have had this problem.
Thanks for the post James - good to know I'm not the only one! For me this only started after installing NoDo. I think your PC USB connection might be right/related as shortly before it happened, I had run the windows update checker again to see if there was a firmware update with the phone connected to Zune... (nodo had run fine for 24 hours before - there wasn't a firmware update so I'd just disconnected). Think the problem happened very shortly after that.
Still very odd that removing the battery and even doing a factory reset didn't fix it!
I have a call in to Rogers now to see if they'll swap the phone... may just be a configuation bug but travelling on business and figured if a hard reset didn't fix there must be something off in the hardware - now you have me wondering though! (the bug had stopped for a bit today... that said the notifications where somewhat intermittent).

This does not help all the time, but when it starts that crazy "boinging" sound and the battery icon flashes, plug the USB port into ANYTHING. Charger, PC anything. It will always stop when plugged in, but sometimes, after removing the USB plug, it will remain "fixed" for a while.
My Experience
A couple of weeks ago, this started on night and continued off and on thru the next day so I ran out of battery before I got home.
About a week later, it happen again.
When it happened the third time, I called AT&T Warranty Support. After a hard reset, the battery icon showed I was charging when I wasn't plugged in. They sent me a new phone, which is working fine, so far...
I'm sorry, I know this is an older thread. I had this problem pre-NoDo and it is still persisting after NoDo. Has anyone found any sort of fix, or even just a way to turn off the battery notification? The only thing I've seen is to just plug/re-plug it in, try cleaning the port, and making sure the prongs aren't bent. I had figured NoDo would fix it, but no such luck. Is this more of a hardware issue or a software issue? Thanks for any info.
Hi Kassi - I was fortunate enough to get my phone replaced under warranty (hasn't happened since). My thoughts are this is a hardware issue. Out of curiosity, do you (or the few others who had this issue), use any after market chargers (any cables that didn't come with the phone)?
I had a Monoprice Micro USB cable and wondering if it caused damage to the phone's connector port. The flat side of the cable's plug has bumps on it that are larger than the OEM cable and it makes a tight fit in the focus. I wonder if that somehow bent the port... what makes me suspect this is the problem started shortly after upgrading to NoDo and I'd used that cable for the upgrade.... (thinking it might have even started immediately after checking for a firmware upgrade using that cable...)
While it is handy to have extra cables I won't be using those again!
I have the same problem on my Samsung Omnia 7. Just suddently started happening when I didn't use the phone (many weeks after getting NoDo). Haven't found any fix for this (I'm in the US with a European phone, so a warranty replacement is a little bit tricky...)
Only had mine 3 weeks and its broken already. I have been using a desktop charger and have not been forcing it in at all, not once, I have always been very gentle inserting it it, anyway it no longer charges, it looks like the connectors have pushed themselves back so they are not flush anymore and thus no longer connecting to charge or sync.
Not happy about this at all, I had my desktop charger for my HD2 for 18 months with no problems at all, this suggest a very weak connector.
!!! BE CAREFUL !!!
Going to call in at Phones4you and see if they will swap it, I don't hold out much hope though.
Wow bad luck man, but really you don't need the F word to express your frustration.

was it an official desktop charger or 3rd party?
DO a factory reset using code *2767*3855#
(please not this will wipe everything including built in memory, so do backup before you proceed. Backup possible by moving content of internal memory to SD card by copy paste in file manager)
I had a problem when my phone stopped charging after I upgraded firmware, It would also launch Connected to computer screen when it wasnt . Thought its dead.
Did factory reset using this code and its working flawlessly ever since. Seems to be some kind of bug which happens out of nowhere as 2 people I know have experienced this after upgrading to KE2.

I was going to ask exactly the same thing...
I think the OP means that the micro usb receptacle has come away from the board and has been pushed back into the body of the phone. I hope this is not going to turn out to be a common problem as it's something that seemed plague to the Nokia N900 and it took ages for Nokia to acknowledge a design/production fault.
great advice, now it wont boot at all, just goes round in circles....
F**cked.....
anyone got any ideas?
Hi, the charger isnt really the issue, i haven't had any problems inserting the phone into the charger, ie no resistance which suggests to me it was week or loose and has gradually pushed it self back over the last 2 weeks since I have had the charger. If thats the case it would have done this with any charger or cable.
Just spoke to phones4you, they are going to exchange it for me, they didnt even grumble after I told them what happened which I thought was odd, heading off now to pick it up.
Will be interesting to see if your wifi is any better on the new phone stoolzo. Maybe you could let us know. Thanks.
good old phones4you
got it already, yes I really have. Phones4you are just round the corner in PC world. Will check my wifi tonight and report back on the other thread.
Please change the thread title. All type of people view xda.

remove and reinsert battery
i had this issue when running custom kernels. somehow doesnt happen with stock.
issue happens like this:
u go to bed while charging
u wake up and the phoneis off or very hot with battery and temperature warning
u reboot and it doesnt reboot, doesn't boot, just goes in circle battery display/reboot cause it doesnt seem to charge neither have enough power to boot.
removing battery + cable then putting both back = it boots again and charge normally

Yeah, did all the usual things, I have bricked phones before and always managed to turn them around but we have no CMR to flash anything from ROOT/SD so when it wouldn't boot after a factory reset I knew I was in trouble
The MHL port being loose was the tell tale sign of a fault as I hadn't misused it at all. When I compared it to my new phone I got today it was defo a little further back, just enough to prevent it connecting.
Good old phones4you, fault report to phone exchange in under an hour, impressive.
Just in case the charger had anything to do with this I am going to get rid, dont think it did but I don't want to risk it.
its this one:

Hey there. I have my Galaxy S II (GT-I9100) for about a month, and since a couple of days ago it has been behaving very weirdly about USB and charging.
First of all, the phone thinks it has USB connected at all times. When I go to the settings menu try to enable mass storage it says USB is already connected, even though it isn't!!!
Sometimes when I start the phone it goes to that USB Kies screen and says "connected", when absolutaly no cables are connected AT ALL!!!
When I turn the cell off, remove the battery and plug it back in, without turning the phone on, the recharging battery icon appears, but blinks with a drained battery icon with a yellow exclamation sign and a thermometer which I sincerely have no idea what that means.
It also takes ages to recognize the power charger or when I really connect the USB cable. And finally, when I take them off, it also takes a while to "perceive" they're off and remove the charging lightning from the battery icons.
PRETTY PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP ME OUT, as I don't have time to take the phone to service, and didn't really want to do that
Thanks!!!
This has also happened to me and loads of other SGS2 users! Although usually it only happens sporadically and not constantly. It seems that it's a bad soldering job or dust/dirt has gathered in the microUSB port. You might be able to fix it, if you're *really* careful.

Last night my phone wouldn't even start charging, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. With the smallest screwdriver I could find, I carefully 'lifted' the tiny PCB in the USB jack while blowing in at the same time. Sure enough, some sand particles fell out, and I haven't gotten carmode'd in nearly 13 hours now. Previously it would do it once every 15 minutes. So far so good, it seems.

Thanks for the help... but what is PCB? Is it the connector inside the "hole"?
Tried that and it stopped thinking USB was connected the whole time... on the other hand, it doesn't detect when I connect the USB cable

You can't talk on plural when you only point out one thread. And I've read that, but it isn't the same as my phone doesn't go in "car mode".
My phone's problem only resembled a problem JaX3RiR briefly mentioned in the middle of the thread.
I tried googling it before posting anything anywhere, but couldn't find anything useful.
Please don't try to look like a smartass like that and embarrass yourself. If you got nothing to add to the thread, it's best if you sit out of it. It's much more appreciated when helpful people like JaX3RiR post...
Hi,had the same problem,tried reflashing back to original firmware,but still had the same problem,,the only way i could boot the phone was through recovery mode,(reboot)Had to send phone back for possible repair??cut a long story short they sent me a new phone,,They said they couldnt repair the fault,something to do with the usb charging system,,So i would advise anyone with this specific problem,to send phone back,and get a replacement..hope you get it solved
Thanks mate, I sent mine today as well... I hope they act the same with me, as I'm afraid customer service around here always tries to incriminate the user not to use the warranty...

There is no reason to be angry, I'm just trying to help, and just wanted that we all post in one thread, so it would be easier to track later.
I just posted longest thread. Here is another one if it helps to justify:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151863
I'm pretty sure you have the same problem. Sometimes Vlingo starts, sometimes phone thinks its charging, when trying to boot it shows battery image and won't boot, can boot only recovery and do restart from there.
Get of the high horse when people are trying to help you.
Are you sure you didn't connect USB cable upside down or bended USB port with the cable?
I have no idea what Vlingo is, and obviously I didn't connect the USB cable upside down. I don't think I bended the port with the cable since it still recognizes the cable for charging or booting and going directly into Kies mode, for example.
I am not on any high horse when people try to help me, as you could see my response towards the guys above. Your post wasn't sounding helpful at all, you were just sounding like "hey, you dumass noobie, don't open a new thread for yourself, check the forums first".
By the way, I also took a look at that thread you posted before posting mine, but I have no idea what is "car mode" on my phone...
Sorry if I sounded rough. I thought it is similar issue, so I posted link to longer thread. I had this issue myself.
Peace. Let us know what the service say .
This happened to me one week ago while on holiday....that temp indicator while charging plus the other stuff you mention....
Plus the phone went into flight mode and won't come out....
Got home and did a reset and phone now doesn't recognise sim card...
great phone but I'm a little disappointed

Hello,
Had the same problems aswell, only mine had a bunch of other problems aswell:
When I shut down my mobile it restarts itself and then shows a yellow exclamation mark with an tempgage. Only way to turn on my phone is to connect it with the charger, turn of my phone again, remove the charger and then the phone turned itself on again but without the temp gage.
My phone also thinks its charging when it is not, and when I am actually charging it, its not charging.
Also my PC does not recognize my phone so I am not able to update it.
I have also sent my phone for a repair, I will keep you guys posted.
greets from the netherlands
Yep, mine only got fixed by going into service. It got its mainboard warranty switched.
T- Mobile sent me a replacement phone
They seemed to know the symptoms when I explained what was happening
Same fault for me. Mainboard replaced, works fine now.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
How did you guys get it fixed? Did you have to ship the phone out somewhere? How long did you have to wait to get it back? What was the process?
Thanks.
Mine is going to be repaired in two weeks.
I was the 8th SGS2 since tuesday which came in the repair center.
The repair guy said it is a manifacturing fault.
The phone gets hots, and outside temperature is cold, so it makes moisture in the phone.
This cause the phones power management to get fu up (SGS2 has a small battery inside of it, and that gets fu up). Only fix is replace hardware, but 9 of 10 times Samsung gives the fault to the customer. They say it has water damage and can't be fixed in warrenty...
I'm going to write a huge article about it, and I hope it will get published by a lot of site's soon. Phones he admitted having the problem: SGS1, SGS2 and SGSN.
I charged my GS2 2x by USB and it's discharged faster than by the sector
The USB power isn't enough for charge up the GS2 correctly
Are you guys suffering from rapid battery discharging, i have all of the above symptons but my battery drains within hours...I`ve even bought a brand new battery off ebay that is exacly the same issues... I`d like to send it back to O2 but i`ve rooted and flashed custom firmware...
Hello guys,
I have a very strange but really bad problem: my omnia7 can't stay in standby.
When I press the power button, to turn off the screen and go in standby (so not the full turn off), my Omni7 wakes up alone, going on the unlock screen. In the same time, the phone rings with the ring that is played when you connect the phone for charging.
I've tried reboot, reset, hardreset, removing the sim-card, turning on/off "battery saver options" ... still that issue :crying:
Anyone has an idea?
I've flashed with a cooked rom (xda-devs Omnia7 Tango V4.0)
my current config :
OS version : 7.10.8779.8
hard version : 3.1.0.4
soft radio version : 2424.11.7.2
hard radio version : 0.0.0.800
loader version : 4.10.1.9
SOC version : 0.36.2.0
Thanks to any ideas, because that problem is killing me
my phone started doing this late last night too! i thorght it was because rain had gone into the power socket but if others are having same problem at the same time maybe not?
has your phone been exposed to water at all recently? is your phone jailbroken? cant realy think of other reasons
the problem stops when the phone is plugged in. is there anything that can trick the phone to thinking it is on charge? I have wphtweaks installed but the options there are not able to stop it
Hi,
I can't remember if my phone has been wet :/ I take care, so my phone never received water. But when I'm outside, under the rain, it's possible.
Today it was better, just a few times my phone wakes up alone.
I'll give you feedback in the next days. Let me know about yours
I managed to trick my phone into silence a few times earlier but it was difficult and then only lasted 5-10 minutes.
if yours didnt get wet it seems unlikely to do with water but I left mine ontop of the aga after removing the battery and over a relativly cool part. A few hours later and it seems to be working fine now.
I will report back if the issue arises again.
EDIT: Ahhhh!! STOP THE RINGING!!! started again this morning
Mine too !
This morning ... the ringing awakening problem !!!!!
But it was better this afternoon.
Really I don't know what happens.
Are we only two persons in the xda world with this problem????
this is realy weird now! mine was doing it in the morning but since about 12pm - 1pm it has been fine! I feel like its something to do with an installed homebrew app maybe.
I also have a custom rom but mine was flashed a long time ago and much older than yours. not sure which version
EDIT (1:10pm GMT): no problems since yesterday
EDIT2 (1:30pm GMT): again i spoke too soon!
Did you guys get this problem sorted out? Had the same problem recently and tried all the suggestions in other threads (bend USB pin, Reset/Restore Device etc) but nothing fixed it, so after being woken at 3am by constant charging tone, took to T-Mobile shop. They said it was a software problem. I said I'd tried all that and the most likely cause I'd seen on the internet was a duff USB port.
Anyway, T-Mobile sent it off for repair and 7 days later - returned and fixed. The repair sheet said software upgrade, but the phone had been reset to bog standard Phone 7, so unlikely. The T-Mobile repair tracking site (excellent) which shows blow-by-blow trace of what and where, showed initial software upgrade/no fix but I used their "contact us" facility to suggest a USB problem and by magic the repair tracking log showed a replacement USB port.
BTW - had to resort to an iphone and HTC android while Omnia was off for repair. Now I know why I like Phone 7 and can't wait for 8. The iphone GUI is so last decade and Android GUI is really just a copy of Windows 6.5 with XDA developers' tweaks isn't it.
Hi Wuzzok,
what do you mean by "bend USB pin" ?
Anyway, it seems like it's finished for me. I didn't get tht strange bug (soft/hard bug???) for a very long time. I just hope it's really over !
Same problem
Hi Folks,
I have the same problem, too. Yesterday afternoon on my way home the phone started ringing with the USB plug sound and always started up itself from standby mode.
As I have a custom ROM (mi7ROM) I first thought it could be a problem with the ROM - although I could not really believe it since it was running stable for months now. I flashed it again and nothing changed - still ringing and starting up itself
I managed to get rid of the sound by deleting the entry in the registry key "Local Machine\Current User\ControlPanel\Sounds\BatteryCharging\Sound" but that does not solve the real problem.
After reading here and in some other WP7 blogs I am sure that this is a hardware problem with the USB plug unit. As my phone is just 11 months old I opened an online ticket at "SAMSUNG online repair service" who promise to answer in the next 24 hours. So I just have to wait and see...

Samsung sent me an offer to send the phone in for repair - but what should I say, the problem solved itself. For two days now the phone works normal again. So I had to cancel the service call .
mine hasnt done it in a long time either. looks like its just a temporary thing. I wonder what caused it! For me it started after I was using my phone in the rain and the usb slide was open so thats my suspect.
You may be right. Mine is "quiet" now, since a long time. Water may be the cause.
Update
Hi folks,
mine is mostly quiet again, too. Only few incidents "happen" but they do not last very long - only a few minutes. It's somehow spooky but I do not want to send it in to Samsung now when the error it not constantly reproducible.
I agree with you that there might be a correlation with humidity although I am sure that it did never get wet and I almost always keep the USB-shutter closed. Who knows ...
Sent it in
Finally I sent it in for repair today. It started ringing permananently two days ago...
Now I have to wait and see.
Final state
Okay, I received it back... and it works.
First they did nod find and could not reproduce the failure and wanted to send it back - only with a new flashed image - but fortunately the technician called me and I could describe the problem again. After waiting a few hours, the fault appeared again and they decided to change the mainboard.
I hope, that's all :laugh:
Hello,
Me too it makes me after my omnia 7 is dropped in water, but problem solved.
Me too

Had the same problem recently and tried all the suggestions in other threads (bend USB pin, Reset/Restore Device etc) but nothing fixed it, so after being woken at 3am by constant charging tone, took to T-Mobile shop. They said it was a software problem. I said I'd tried all that and the most likely cause I'd seen on the internet was a duff USB port.
Anyway, T-Mobile sent it off for repair and 7 days later - returned and fixed. The repair sheet said software upgrade, but the phone had been reset to bog standard Phone 7, so unlikely. The T-Mobile repair tracking site (excellent) which shows blow-by-blow trace of what and where, showed initial software upgrade/no fix but I used their "contact us" facility to suggest a USB problem and by magic the repair tracking log showed a replacement USB port.
BTW - had to resort to an iphone and HTC android while Omnia was off for repair. Now I know why I like Phone 7 and can't wait for 8. The iphone GUI is so last decade and Android GUI is really just a copy of Windows 6.5 with XDA developers' tweaks isn't it.

Are you really sure that the problem is USB port.. Mine too behave like this. I've tried to remove battery, factory reseting, reflashing ROM. But nothing works. Mine is Samsung focus
