Strange occurrence.
PC is having issues recognizing USB connection when Nook is hooked up.
It randomly connects and dicsonnects within seconds on off on off on off or will not recognize the Nook and the driver install fails.
I can get it to work sometimes after connecting,disconnecting, connecting, turning USB on/off, etc.
Currently running emmc CM7 Nightly #94 with Dalingrin's OC Kernel and thats it.
Mine acted like this stock.
I requested and received a new cable and charger from B&N, this fixed it for me.
The original cable was flaky and the charger was getting HOT.
The replacement is good and the charger doesn't even get warm.
Ah... figured it out.
Did some searching and found several threads on the Nook Color USB cable vs. standard mini-USB and how they are different.
I was trying to use the Nook Color power USB cable to connect to PC. I am now using a standard mini-USB (For a Blackberry) and it works perfectly with PC connection.
Duh!

Greetings,
I'm having a problem when connecting my TyTN to my Thinkpad T43. When I connect the TyTN to a USB port (regardless of which one) on the laptop, it connects initially and starts charging, but after a while it disconnects, the charge light goes out and Windows puts up a message saying that the USB port has malfunctioned.
Unplugging and switching to a different USB port does not help, and I've tried a different USB cord without any change.
It seems a bit intermittent because right now as I'm writing this, it has stayed connected for quite a while.
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem - I'd like to try to figure out if it is a hardware problem with the TyTN, something specific to Vista, or a problem with the Thinkpad itself.
Maybe the TyTN is drawing too much power from the USB port while charging?

When I connect my Nexus 4 to my MacBook Pro and try to transfer files (or even just connecting it, not doing anything) my phone just comes in and out of connection. I know when my phone is connected when the File Transfer program (downloaded from Google) pops up.
The File Transfer program just randomly opens and closes, and sometimes when I'm in the middle of transferring a big file my phone disconnects and I have to start the transfer all over again (really frustrating).
I wonder if anyone else had this problem, or if anyone know of a culprit that could be causing this connection problem.
Anyone?! D:

Oh boy, no one?
Sounds like a dodgy USB cable or port. Try switching both. If it still happens, connect to a windows PC to see if it's the phone.
Not sure what the problem is but I have this happen on occasion too. I'm running Windows 7 so it's not a Mac issue.
I have problems with certain usb cables, some work and some don't. I get the best results using the usb cable that came with the phone, it has never given me a problem.

I have better results using my old Vibrant usb cable. OEM is kind of crappy for some reason. Once and a while I can unplug the charger from the wall and phone and still have some kind of electrical buzzing in the charger.
the OEM (Stock USB that came with my phone) charger doesn't give me any trouble either.
When I plug it in my laptop to charge, the charging is spotty (I assume because the electric output from the laptop is not strong enough). So I plug it into a wall outlet, no problem.
It's only when I connect to a computer when the connection gets interrupted and messes up my file transfers, annoyingly... so me and md5 are best friends now.
I just don't know if there is something causing this besides the phone, or is it the phone itself (so i can contemplate RMA)
If others have this issue then I want to know if they fixed it or found a workaround...

When I plug my phone into my desktop pc with an alternate usb cable I have it constantly disconnects and reconnects. As soon as I use the stock usb cable it stops doing it and works. I really haven't looked to see what the difference is between the cables could just be that the alternate I use is just cheap. The other cable works fine with my other phones too so its weird.
Hi guys, I have this really weird issue occurring. I have my note 3 connected to my computer via usb, but it does not stay connected. My computer keeps making a noise of new device connected, then disconnected. The phone connects, few secs later, disconnects. I have tried 3 different usb, 1 is the original,, different usb ports. It cant be the cable tho, cause it charges fine, and i wiggled it while charging. I let the drivers install when i first plugged the n3 in, so those should be good.
Any idea? could it be a ROM issue? Really need it to work, since I use tethering (

What rom are you using? And have you tried reinstalling drivers from samsung? http://www.theandroidsoul.com/galaxy-note-3-drivers-installation-guide/ and have you tried just using the micro USB cable (not the USB 3.0)
biggins 4.5, yea i tried those drivers, didnt try usb2.0 yet.
Its literally sitting here connecting, then disconnecting on and on, i have no idea, not even moving it

It could be the data pins in the cable/phone, the power pins would still let it charge even though there's still supposed to be energy going through the data pins when charging. And have you selected a different option when plugging it into the computer (from installer, media device, to camera) from the options that note 3 provides? (click the icon in the status bar when you plug it in)
yea i tried camera, its on installer by default i think and i tried mtp also, usb3.0 said it required airplane mod so i didnt try that. How could i check the pins>

Well it you look at the port and they're not bent or snapped then it isn't the pins. What about USB 2.0?
Will try 2.0 tomorrow, here is a pic of the pins, if you zoom in do they look ok?

What OS is your computer running? There are some USB issues with windows 8.1. I was having the same problem at times but there was a fix in optional updates that have seemed to clear things up for now. I think it's the download numbered...2914219. I'm not completely sure as I did a few weeks ago.
Just for the record, I have had trouble with certain cables in the past. Sometimes computer didn't like a long cable.
Pins are absolutely fine, only reason I even mentioned those was because one time a little kid plugged my streak 7 cord in upside down and jacked the female port to crap. And as TheAfroSamurai mentioned it might be your computer, I had trouble with a long cable with my kin 2. Different cable fixed it for me.

Hi all, I haven't been here for a while now, but I figure that this is the best place to put my issue besides maybe reddit. So I was trying to activate USB tethering yesterday as i do a lot in order to play some games on my computer since i don't have access to any ethernet, and something went wrong and it didn't activate despite having hit the switch on the phone. I unplugged my phone to turn it off since my computer hadn't recognized the tethering and tried to activate it again, but this time my phone only made the charging noise and wasn't picking up my computer at all. I then restarted my phone to see if that was the issue and got the same result. I then tried to plug it into my laptop to see if my computer was the problem and it did the same thing.
Today I tried plugging my phone into my laptop with my usb-c to usb-c cable (instead of my go-to usb-c to usb-a cable that came with the phone) and got some signs of life from the laptop, it makes the sound that says its plugged in, but the phone still only charges and the laptop picks up my phone as "USB root hub (USB 3.0)" and "Intel USB 3.1 eXtensible Host controller-1.10 (Microsoft)" in device manager. I also just tried clearing the cache in recovery but nothing has changed. Does anyone know what's going on here and how I can fix it?
Unrooted (duh), AT&T model (sorry idk the model numbers like i used to), latest updates and security patches etc
EDIT: power cycled it (let it die and turned it back on a few times until it wouldn't turn on again) and charged it back up again and that seems to have fixed my issue.

Check the ports And cable ends for trash and lint crammed in them possibly

I power cycled it the other day and it worked for the moment but it stopped working again the day after.

Edit: forgot to mention, it still charges on every computer its plugged into
