So I plugged in my phone to a car charger and next thing you know I try plugging it in to my PC my TV and neither will recognize it. I'm guessing. The car charger fried something in my USB port flex cable. So before I go and buy a new flex cable I wanted to know if its something within the flex cable that burned out and thus won't allow the data pins to correctly connect... What do you guys think

So this may be a silly question, but I've just received the T-Mobile MDA (HTC Wizard) second-hand and without a charger.
The Mini USB port on the bottom allows ActiveSync and charging from my notebook's USB port, but when I try to charge using an AC-to-USB adapter it doesn't work... I've tried two different Motorola phone chargers and a generic one that came with my Jawbone that has a USB female connector on the adapter and you supply your own USB cable. I've used the same cable I was using when attaching to the PC, but no luck.
Interestingly enough, I did get it to charge with the same USB cable once at an airport by plugging it into the Southwest Airlines chairs with the USB power plugs...
So does anyone know? Does this phone require a special sort of charger?
you need a charger that is rated 1.0Amps.
usb is normally 500mAmps, not enough to charge your phone.
Hello, I am new, from Spain.
Since yesterday, My ARC S, when I try to connect to PC via USB, shutdown netbook. In PC, when connect, USB connections stop working until I reboot PC...
Charge is ok, only by AC Adaptor. But if I move connector, stop charging for moments, until I connector again. But in PC usb, is impossible to make it works. Not charge by usb pc.
I have tried other cable, but the same

Hey, i just received my usb 3 cable (my s5 came with usb2...) and i think i got a fake one...
I bought it from here: ebay.com/itm/291161252997?var=590311054317&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Now the problem is, when i plug cable in it USB options there is no "Media device (USB 3.0)" option... Which if i am not mistaken should appear?
I don't understand... 190 cables sold and no one is complaining... Maybe i am doing something wrong?
You might connect it to a USB 3.0 Port, are you sure that you connected it in 3.0 port?

Yes i am sure i connected to usb 3.0 port. I just found out that my external monitor connected via usb using same type cable as i ordered (but it's very short cable) and it is usb 3.0. Tried connecting with it and now i can see that option. So i guess that means i got fake cable...

Based from my experience, buying micro USB charging/data cable for Samsung is tricky since the wiring may not be the same as the normal USB cable. There should be 5 pins on the micro end, but sometimes there are just 4. But Samsung uses only 4 pins that might have been rewired. I'm not sure whether only Samsung does this or the same can be said of the other brands, but they may be the cause why there are microusb cables being sold that does only charging and no data function, and vice versa. And sometimes the pins may not be protruding out enough to make contact with the phone's charging pins.
I hope this helps.
You should try plugging in another USB 3.0 device such as a USB stick to determine whether the fault lies within your computer or the eBay cable!
I have replaced my USB flex cable after it refused to charge and only worked with data. Now the data has stopped working but it now charges! does anyone know if this could be caused with me not connecting one of the connectors as I find it hard to believe that the flex cable is faulty.
Hello recently I notice that when I plug the tablet in to my computer or through otg USB for data transfer it doesn't connect. However when I plug it in to for power to charge not charge s no problem. I fix it before thougt it was the electrical tape input over the speakers for good contact since I was having connection issue there. Any help would be great.
ave you tried using another micro usb cable? I have troubles to connect my N7 to pc with original cable but it works for charging fine aswell. I just use my phone cable to transfer files.
I have two other cables and they all do the same as well. Even when use otg with a USB it doesn't light up or shows up as working. Can anyone help me to were it may it the issue inside the tablet. Maybe a loose ground or somewhere. Just need the area where it may be the issue. Also maybe a website or eBay user you have used to replace the charging port with 3.5 mm audio jack since . preferably on eBay. Hope someone can help me out there.
There aren't many things that can go wrong. In the 2012 N7 (and many other devices) there are basically three possibilities:
- the USB cables (if you got multiple cheap cables, you may have multiple bad cables - I got two Monoprice cables a few years ago and they lost their snug fit within a year, they still work but I need to let the cord hang off the side of a table if I do not want the data or power connection to break. The original cable still works perfectly in any orientation)
- the USB port on the device (could be from wear or pulling/angling/torquing whatever is plugged in the USB port. You could theoretically buy an identical USB connector and replace the connector only, which is what people do with the 2013 N7 since the USB/power board assembly can cost over $100 to replace)
- the USB/audio ribbon cable being loose or broken, most likely at the motherboard connector for the 2012 model. If you want to replace that, the 2012's flex cable is relatively cheap at around $15
USB Port
I have replaced the USB port on my 2012 three times so far. They just seem to wear out, and this is without excessive use or abuse. I maybe should start buying them in bulk. They are only $* on Amazon.
