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.
sad but hopeful vibrant owner,

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?

Mine does it when I plug into the wall charger. I just went ahead and synced with the house. Now I can turn the lamps on/off from anywhere.
Im having problems with my phone. My current setup is used aroot before update did the retain root, and later webtop mod for the 4.1.57 Now i am having usb port issues. 1st issue i noticed sometime when phones hooked to computer it freaks out like its being plugged in and unplugged so i hear the notification bell going off like 10 times. Just now it had popped up error that device failed and crashed my whole usb bus till i shutdown computer. And lastly my usb doesnt work with car anymore. doesnt even pop up notification to choose usb connection anymore. but the battery does show charging and screen gets bright so i know its doing some kind of connection. anyone seen these issues? or know what i should try? when connected to pc just now after the crash i get the phone portal to work as normal and notifications functioning.
ok update, the car issue seem to fixed itself powered off and back on and worked again. not sure about computer part yet.
ok problem not fixed, still usb connection issues to both car and computer. going to try uninstalling webtop mod see if that fixes it. bbut see had no replys so guess no one else had this issue.

Hi - I stumbled on this thread by accident but had a very similar problem - I will look up the Whirlpool thread where I wrote about it as it was a while ago - but similar symtoms all fixed by replacing battery. _ i dropped my Ominia briefly into water.
Here's what I wrote in Whirlpool forum on 2011-Oct-31 (can't post link as new member) Thread Title "Samsung Omnia 7 i8700 - Part 2"
My beloved Omnia 7 took a very quick dip in the pool on the weekend. Life lesson learnt: "Do not put phone in top pocket as it will fall out."
Anyhow I grabbed it straight away and turned it off – dried it off etc – I was amazed it booted and runs BUT things are not good.
� Phone works normally (all functions, wifi, apps, OS etc.) on external charge either AC or PC USB
� Phone works normally on battery, but it keeps playing an alert chime, will not sleep, and in Settings / Battery Saver it flashes on this screen � and it does not sleep as whatever it�s alerting on prevents idle.
� Goes to sleep when on AC/USB charge.
� After plugging into AC/USB, and unplugging from AC/USB, phone runs normally, believes it is being charged, does not play alert chime, but does not sleep
� Does not interface with PC via USB � plug into USB causes �USB Device not recognised� (tried different cables/PC�s)
� Does enter download mode, but USB not available.
At a long shot, it may be the battery. I know I could buy online (risk it won't be the issue). All I need to do is a quick battery swap test but need a spare battery.
WHAT A MESS. Let me know if you are a Brisso and wouldn't mind sharing your battery for 5 mins....
If replacing battery fixes the problem then GOD knows what Engineering Samsung/Microsoft is upto

I had the same prob here and windows can not recognize my Omnia 7 any more after it caught rain.
I had the same problem on my Windows 7 (64 Bit)
Unknown usb Device , lot of posts have found and at the end it was USB-Cable !!!
The problem was in the length of the cable, with long (1m cable) i can flash but no connection over Zune, after i take cable from my Nokia 15 cm short cable it works without any problems.

What Windows are you using, do you have original ROM on your Omnia ?
For example if you are using some other rom than original , that there you have changed settings for USB port (In Diagnose Mode you can check this)
I am on original German T-Mobile ROM, exact same issue, no cure for now. Looks like an end of life for old good Omnia ...
But I did force update both 8112 and 8773 yet before ZUNE actually suggested the update .So not really in a position to complain.
But if anybody here did a "fully legal" ZUNE update (no flash no forced) then it means that the update itself is a problem and MS / SAMSUNG are responsible (not that it ever changed). Did anyone on OEM ROM with the issue upgrade in a fully clean way ?
Just now noticed - this is similar to the problems mentioned in another 2 threads hot here - just in another case people experienced only annoying "alert ringing". Looks like some of us get hit more severe, others less. XDA gurus - PLEASE spend time on this ! This looks as a massive desease case, last hope is XDA.

Hiya,
So my colleague gave me an USB stick for me to copy some photos on to, and it seemed to of killed my N7.
Here's how it all went down:
I have an Intel MBP and when I plugged the USB drive in, it didn't recognise it (it didn't even show up in the Disk Utilities). And yes, it was directly connected to my laptop, no USB hubs involved.
I tried even the other USB port, and even with a USB hub, no difference.
I've installed a program to write onto NTFS formatted drives, and OS X natively can read just about all the Windows file formats (in my experience any way). And so, just for the giggles, I popped the drive into my updated and rooted N7 via a Motorola USB OTG cable (which has worked for a long time and no flaws) and then my N7 could read it. No worries.
I copy all of files into a separate folder on the drive, and then pop it back into my MBP. It then detects it. Very strange. I copy over some files, and unplug. Later on in the day, I remember that I forgot some files, so I plug it back in, and my laptop starts going into some crazy lag mode as if it just got Parkinson's. Unplug the drive, and then it freezes (i have to do a force shut down) and when it boots back up, it's seriously FUBAR'd.
I felt the drive belonged in the pits of Mordor with what havoc it was causing.
I didn't plug it back into anything else after that. Told my colleague and he did a virus scan on his Windows work comp: nothing.
Battery dies on the N7 (ie, ran out), and when I go to charge it. Nothing. Okay, something happens. The backlight goes on, but no battery symbol. Just see some sort of light leek (which I had before, but nothing dier.)
It's a 32GB CC0K "generation".
Any clues, tips?
Thanks for any and all help!
TL;DR version:
A) Big long story about MacBook Pro and a wonky USB drive.
B) Separately, "Battery dies on the N7 (ie, ran out)", N7 won't start up.
Not clear from story if (A) has anything at all to do with (B).
Try charging battery for a while? Hold Power button down for 20 seconds afterward? If not, unplug battery connector, wait 10 seconds, plug it back in, charge device, try to reboot?
There have been a number of similar sounding stories on here. Some of them seem to self-resolve after charging, some of them are reported to respond to various voodoo operations (e.g. battery disconnect/reconnect), some of them the person making the report never checks in again. I suppose that leaves open the possibility that some devices never turn back on?
It isn't obvious if there is a single syndrome or mutiple problems that exhibit similar symptoms.
good luck.
Thank you for shortening it!
I tend to go a bit overboard with details and what not.
Ok, will try having it in the charger and see what happens.
Thanks!
I also find it strange that a USB drive could be so destructive. However, if you do have a wonky USB drive, what chance of is there for its faultiness doing harm like I just described?
Don't forget to make sure the internal battery lead isn't disconnected!!! It happens..
Ok, plugged it, it sat in for a while, held the power button for a few seconds longer (along with the bottom volume rocker) and it turned on!
So, thanks for the help!

I can charge my phone through USB when connecting to my laptop, but it does show up as a device, anywhere. I've tried ADB, Fastboot, and Device Manager. It doesn't even show up in Device Manager as an unknown device (e.g. yellow exclamation point). I've enabled USB debugging, changed the USB configuration to File Transfers, used multiple cables (including the OOB red one), multiple machines (Windows 10 and 7), but I see nothing. No storage drive, no errors, no Windows sound indicating a device has been connected. But still it charges. I thought about wiping to factory settings, but given I'm not connecting via Fastboot or ADB, is that even worth trying?
I'm on OOS 3.5.6 unrooted and bootloader is still locked, although I've previously had other builds and TWRP on it (so USB used to work for data). I figure that OnePlus won't support me because the screen is cracked in the bottom corner, but I don't see how that could have broken just the data pins and not the charging ones. I think I had this problem before I dropped the phone, but I can't be 100%.
Same problem
I too have the same problem , I too have never rooted it ...Never dropped , never rooted but still suffering from the same problem...
There is an option in the develiper options...
That has these issues sorted with
Try it out there or just let me know
Try changing the cable too. The pins might have worn out
P. S I do not have the issue. Suggestions only
