well here it goes...my my touch has had this problem for about a week now
if i plug in the usb cable into my phone it will charge but it will act as if it is not connected to a computer and it wont give me the choice to mount my sdcard
also when this first occurred i tryed plugging in my headphone adapter and it did not work at all! but then yesterday it started to work if i plugged in my head phone adapter twice in a row then BOOM it works.....but my usb cable still doesn't work ive even went into amon ra recovery and toggled the usb and still it will not mount the sd card....can someone tell me whats wrong here? thank you in advance
also if i wasn't clear enough please feel free to ask questions because i am stuck on a 1.6 stock ROM and i miss hero thankyouagain
Mine has the same problem, I'm waiting for the replacement to get here.
do you know the last thing you did before it stopped working?
Similar Problems -- Am I screwed?
I have a similar problem. I don't know exactly what happened before the problem started (I'll detail my best guesses in a sec.)
Here's what's happening:
* There's no USB connectivity -- not on Mac OS X (10.6) nor on Windows XP. I don't ever get the USB icon nor the chance to mount the phone as a drive.
* It drains the battery realllllllly fast -- my 1500mAH batter went from 100% to 15% in 20 minutes. With the screen off. Bluetooth and WiFi were both off.
* It charges VERYYYY slowly. 2+ hours on the DC charger in the car did not get me a full charge. The LED thatused to indicate charging does not light up anymore when plugged in.
* It is very hot to the touch. At one point Battery Life Widget was showing a temp of 108F.
* Re-installing CyanogenMod 4.2.9.1 does not fix the problem, nor does rolling back to 4.2.8.1
* I've tried several wipes and that did not work either.
The last things I can think that I did before the problem occured:
* I accidently plugged in the mini-usb cord that goes to an AC adapter on a CallPod instead of into the callpod adapter (i.e., it was plugged into the cord that goes to the wall.) This was for about 5 seconds before I realized the mistake.
* I had installed CyanogenMod 4.2.9.1 the day before.
* I had installed and deleted a number of sill games and apps: Fat Cheese, Dialify, and a few others I can't recall.
Without an ability to get a USB connection, I can't use Terminal to try save files to the SD. That means I can't (as far as I know) unroot it right now. But, I'd sure like to try...
Does anybody have any helpful ideas or insights?
Thanks in advance,
jim
If your computer has a Bluetooth dongle, you can transfer files back and fourth to your phone, or just get a cheap card reader off ebay or Amazon.

Is a dongle required? I should be able to piggyback on to the Mac's built in Bluetooth for the mouse and keyboard, I think.
Any ideas what I might have done?
Thanks,
Jim
Yea if it has built in BT that should work, as long as you got somekind of pairing and file transfer program on your mac. The are a couple of free Bluetooth apps in the market you can use for swapping.
Well my usb went out when it was connected to my pc and the motherboard blew. The phone immediatly went black when it happened. I thought at first I fried the phone too. It still charges but any computer won't see a connection and the phone won't ask to mount. Its a hardware issue I guess, I tried several ways to get access to the phone via usb and failed.
so what should i do? send it to t mobile?...or call htc?......its unlocked and im using it on att.....i installed dwangs 1.6 and it stoped working
I successfully unrooted then applied the upgrade to 1.6. She's still hot, quick to discharge, slow to charge, and can't see the data connection via USB...she's going back to the retailer.
Now, I just hope that the Nexus One is real and out real soon.
Jim
@jkearns you could have a faulty battery.
@glendawg I don't know at this point since the phone is second hand. I doubt T-mo will do anything. Try htc see if the could offer a repair solution.
well now my acceleromiter took a ****.....
I just took one too, I feel alot better now.
Mytouch 3g
I have the same problem with my touch gets hot, but also when I remove the battery and plug the charger still get hot so I think is a hardware issue.
And I know for fact that some USB cords only charge your phone and no work with the computer, if you want to sync something, try an other USB cable
im having the same usb problem with my 32b but it comes and goes sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt so my question is should i take it in and have them give me the 32a version since tmobile doesnt carry the 32b anymore? is it that much better and is it easy to root like the 32b? sorry i dont mean to steal this thread but i just thought it would be pointless to open a new one about the same topic.
So I just got done with tmobile and there gonna send me a new mytouch 1.2 so im pretty exited I just have to run stock 1.6 for a couple days while it gets here and I forgot how much worse stock is

Hi All,
I've exactly same issue as "jkearns" outlines. It used to connect via USB and showed charging (very hot during charging though) but not anymore. I think I accidently got updated to 2.2.3 and that probably contributed the problem. I could perhaps stay on 2.2.3 but battery drains like hell (about 20 min life). Any idea to resolve this? Thanks in advance fellows.
My Nexus One will not charge at all and when I try to plug it into the computer it is not being recognized. The phone itself works but it's running low on power. The last thing I did was flash to CM 6.0.0-RC2 and it worked fine last night and all day today up until a few hours ago. Is there a stock ROM or anything I can do to re-flash the radio and image to see if that helps? Please help ASAP, thanks.

Are you sure you didn't mess up the USB port in the device itself?
Wipe and go back to CM5.08
Wipe and go back to full stock. If it still has a problem its a hardware fault and you should try to use the waranty. Flashing 5.08 or any other custom rom will still leave u in doubt it may be the ROM. Also when/if you do send it back for waranty it'll look alot better if you have stock on it - even if the bootloader is unlocked.
I don't think it will be covered under warranty if the bootloader is unlocked. I was able to put the battery in another one and charge it long enough to put it back to stock. I believe my only option would be to send it back and pay for the repair or buy a dock and charge it that way. Can someone point me to the correct stock ROM just in case I didn't do the right one? I'll have to find a way to charge it up before doing so. I'm open to other suggestions also if anyone has any. It just really sucks that I may have to pay for it because this clearly seems like a hardware problem. It's weird when plugging it into a computer a message will come up about not enough power so the computer is somewhat recognizing it but I can't do anything with it.
Can't you just use wall charger?
I've tried a wall charger, the car charger, and USB and neither of them charge. The computer recognizes it or at least see's some device but I get a message about low power on a USB port.
Have you tried this?

This makes me think that you have an electrical problem. If it is pulling down the voltage on your PC there could be a short in the micro-USB port or something else wrong with the charging system.
A dock would be a good test to see if it is actually the port or something deeper. Watch to see if it heats up too much when charging (it will heat up to some degree but it could get seriously hot if there is an issue).
The phone does not get warm at all when plugged into either a charger or USB port. And @cue_32 I have downloading the original shipping ROM but I have my battery charging in someone else's phone before I can put it back to factory. I have a few things I want to try and see if I can get this thing to come back to life. I don't know anyone that has a dock so I can't really test that part out.
Sounds like the connection of one of the power pins on USB port is broken. That would also result in the phone not being recognized, since without having VBUS it won't detect USB attach and won't start the connection.
I suggest returning the phone for a warranty repair, unless you want a phone without functional USB.
That's what I'm going to do is send it in. It sounds more of a hardware issue and should not have been caused by rooting the phone. I have never overclocked the phone and the only 2 programs I installed that required root access was Wireless Tether and ROM Manager. So hopefully the repair goes well and next time hopefully I can root without unlocking the bootloader. I really don't need root but it's nice to have ROM manager and CynogenMod installed.
Well it appears that the charging port is bad and they want to charge me almost 200 dollars. Apparently this is not covered because it is customer induced damage. I guess I wasn't allowed to plug it in to charge it and sync it. I don’t understand this because it was never dropped or anything. HTC used to be very good but now they are getting worse in my opinion. I had a HTC Dash 3G that the microphone didn't work good and they told me it was opened so they could not cover it when I didn't open it up at all.
Anyone want a Nexus One that doesn't charge? It should charge in a dock but I'm not 100% sure. HTC can kiss all of my business goodbye after all this. Time to go with a motorola or samsung android phone.
If you try to escalate your claim with HTC, I think they might be persuaded to fix your phone for free. Sometimes the lower level guys are pretty stingy, but some of the managers are more likely to hook you up.

I have talked to 2 supervisors and that got me no where. In fact if I didn't call them every other day I have a feeling I'd still be waiting. When I had an iPhone I had a replacement the next day but now it's just over 3 weeks and I am still without my phone. I went ahead and had them charge my CC and I'll just dispute the charge and ask for pictures. I am always careful with my phones and have never had one break like this. This whole thing is just frustrating. I'm tempted on returning my wifes HTC EVO and getting the Samsung moment or Epic.
Hey all. I have an extra battery that I keep charged and use when I know i'm gonna have a long day. Recently, whenever I switch to the extra battery, my phone goes into a boot loop. When I switch back to my original battery, the phone works fine. Both batteries are official HTC G2 batteries.
Anyone know what might be causing this and how I can fix it?
Thx as always.

Sounds like your spare battery has a voltage problem, that is about the only way a battery can cause a phone to bootloop

What Rom are you running ? What Recovery are you using ? What Kernel are you using ? You said it will not connect to the computer. Have you Updated HTC Sync ?
Not charging while phone is on..
Hi guys,
I am facing a very unique issue(basically i didnt find any thread which had the same problem as mine). My Evo does not charge while the phone is switched on nor can i connect it to my comp from the recovery after i mount it in usb mode. It charges properly while it is powered off. I have tried installing jellybread & mokeeos roms with tiamat kernel but they go into boot loop.
It is really inconvenient since i have to switch off the phone for it to charge. Please help.
The details of the system are below:
RoM: rooted stock rom from xda thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Evo/ROMs)
the kernel is also stock
I am using Amon Ra recovery 3.11
Please do help me out with this.
I figure its a software problem since it is charging properly when switched off.
Are you Full Root "S-off" ? Have you tried using a different charger / cable combo ?
TEAM MiK
MikROMs Since 3/13/11
evo charge issues
Yes, My phone is fully rooted and s-off.
also i have tried using several charger, cable combos.
When it is in fastboot, i can flash files, threre is not problem there, but when I turn on USB mode in the recovery, it does not detect on the computer.
Also It charges when off, but does not when fully switched on. 1 thing that i now noticed was that sometimes, it starts charging when switched on, and then stops after 1 minute or so.
Also the battery drains extremely quickly now. This was not the case before this happened.
It would be great if you could help me out here,

Sounds like a bad battery or bad charging port... cheapest way to test is to buy a battery from ebay or something. See what happens. If the same problem persists its a hardware issue with the port itself (which I think it is from the sounds of it). Or you can unroot it, load a stock Sense rom and go to a Sprint store to have them look at it.
You can also try cleaning the Charger port itself out. I've issues in the past with charger ports getting dirty, which causes a bad connection. But I would still defiantly try a different Battery.
thanks guys, will clean the port and also try a new battery...
will get back once i have done these...
Hello all- When I charge my A7 at night it beeps sporadically all night and I can't figure out why. It's not fully charged while it does it, I thought it may be a software upgrade notification but no. I can't find any setting for it.
Does anyone know what the hell this is ?
Cheers, LL13-
Your usbport or usb drive may be dysfunctional try using another usb cable. If the problem persists probably you are dealing with a defective device in which case ,if you haven't voided your warranty by rooting it or etc, you could fix it. Hope I helped
