[Q] [MTP ERROR] Phone won't connect to PC - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys!
I picked my G2 up 5 days ago, everything was working fine on day one, however now my phone won't connect to the PC either in MTP or in PTP mode. I looked up all kinds of drivers for this device, installed everything, and it's still not working. When I connect my phone, Windows start to search drivers but does not find any. I have Windows 7 64 bit. Now I can't transfer files to the device, and also, when I try to charge via USB 2.0 or 3.0, it says the voltage level is low, so it charges only on low profile.
Appreciating any help.

Have you tried a different USB cable? That would be the first thing to do. If you're not using the OEM cable (the one that came with it), try that post haste.
If you've already done that, have you tried charging it from the wall with the OEM cable and wall socket box? Does it charge? Is it charging at normal speeds?
And finally, is your phone rooted? Does it have a custom recovery? Is it the stock operating system?

Thanks for the fast answer.
Yes, I do use the OEM cable, the one that was in the box. I am using stock ROM, no tweaks at all. The travel charger is working perfectly, it is charging at normal speed. The intresting thing is that it was working for a few days...

I would recommend using Wi-Fi Transfer, or whatever it's called... The built in system in your Qslide Apps, and backing up everything you can to your computer that way, or backup app info (such as SwiftKey) to its respective cloud system if it supports it, then doing a factory reset.
If it doesn't work after that, try to get it replaced, it should still be within your grace period.

I forgot to test it with another cable. Now I did it with a Samsung Galaxy W U2 cable, and it is working, Windows did automatically install the driver and the MTP is working... Interesting... The stock cable has been working for days, and it still does work with the wall charger perfectly, but not the computer.

Do you prop your phone on your chest when you lay in bed? I used to do that while charging my tablet, which also had the USB port on the bottom. It slowly bent the cable connector from the pressure of the tablet being set on it.
Perhaps you accidentally did something similar? And if so, I recommend getting a custom launcher or something that will give you full orientation control of your phone, then turning it upside down so the charger cable is on the top when plugged in.
Also, I'd take the cord to your carrier store and tell them what's going on. See if you can't get it replaced right away.

No, I haven't charged the phone in bed like that, but if the cable was damaged, shouldn't it have the issue with the wall charger too? Because it works just fine with the wall charger.

Not necessarily. I'm no expert on that, but I imagine there are different wires in the cord for data and electricity. If the data one is busted, that would explain why your computer doesn't recognize it, but it still charges on the wall.
The low voltage error could be a play into that as well if there's some kind of handshake that happens between phone and computer that is not happening because of the damaged data line. My PS3 controller is like that, it will only charge on specific wall chargers because of this handshake feature.
That's just my opinion anyway. Not that it matters at this point, because we have established the cable itself is faulty. Which is good because that's way easier to replace than a whole phone.

S4 will not charge with AC charger; only USB

Last night I was charging my S4 in my car adapter, but noticed the cattery was still going down. I went home and plugged it into my AC (wall charger) and went to bed. The next morning the S4 was dead and couldn't charge. The only solution was to plug it in my computer and went an hour for it to get some charge back.
I have a root i337m running rootbox 4.1, and I went into TWRP to wiped the phone and installed the ROM again - no luck.
Is this a battery issue, a software issue or a whole device issue? Thanks.

I don't think its a rom issue. I tried charging via USB as well and had phone charging a few hours and it ate crap. So I only charge via AC outlet only. USB charges but at a very slow pace.

I made an error in the OP - I meant to say I left it to charge on the wall and I got nothing.
Right now, the charge light doesn't even come on if I plug it with AC.

I've tried 3-4 different chargers and cables, same issue. Charges slowly through PC,doesn't charge at all with AC. Did a factory reset after reverting to stock FW, no luck.

I doubt it's a ROM issue, but there's no harm in reverting back to stock to see the results (assuming you've backed it up). If it all fails, i think you should unroot and send it to Samsung for the warranty. Software problems are somewhat easier to fix here than hardware, so it may be the best option to let Samsung handle it.
I had similar problems with my Note 2 before and now with my S4. What I found was, sometimes the usb cable wasn't tightly plugged into the wall charger. Once I've made sure of this, I've been able to charge (AC) every time.
I found this article that indicates that the S4 is looking for special sauce on the D+D- pins.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6914/samsung-galaxy-s-4-review/2
Obviously the Galaxy S 4 will charge with any USB charger, but the charge time will simply be longer. Samsung uses a voltage divider and signals the presence of their own charger by sending 1.2-1.3 V across the D+ / D- pins, this is similar to what Apple does with 2.0 or 2.8 V across the pins for various USB chargers they've shipped over the years. This signaling is essentially Samsung's proprietary tablet charging signaling which they've employed on the Galaxy Note 2 and now SGS4, in fact the two use the same exact charger, so it's worth tossing out your old ones and getting the appropriate one to take advantage of the faster charging.
However I do not believe this to be 100% true. I think not all chargers will work..
I took a charger that is very vanilla (Wall charger but the D+D- pins are NC) and it works with the S3 and NEXUS7 but does not work with the S4.
This charger uses a stock USB cable so I took a wall charger that had gone bad but had a dedicated cable and hacked off the end and wired up my own cable...
That works! So it appears that the S4 will only charge properly with certain chargers that do something to the D+D- pins (either shorting them with a resistor like the article indicates
I then took a look at the cable I used to replace. It is a Motorola cable and it has the ID pin pulled high built into the cable... So I suspect that is required for the phone to work... But to fast charge it will need the special sauce indicated above!
Had the same issue and found the solutions which worked for me. Go into the developer mode and deactivate the usb debug mode.
Had the exact same issue. I took a soldering iron to my charging port on my phone. Problem solved. The ID pin had a bad joint.

I have a strange issue, my s4 is detected by pc, charges normally with usb ( wall or pc charge ) my battery is full but when I take the cable from microUSB port and s4 should work with the battery, turns off and consumes no battery, it's like refusing to use the battery and that it is full! battery checked on a sph l 720
I've tried installing other roms with safestrap but I still have the same problem, refuses to consume battery and while the battery is at 100% ,my s4 shows 0% if I disconnect the usb cable... game over. However, I can be on the safestrap menu for hours only with the battery, no problem, is a problem of rom I think but did not know how to fix it .. : (
I'm having the same issue as the original poster. The USB port is good, charges fine when connected to PC (although much slower because of different mVS). Have tried amidst everything and nothing fixes it. I've turned debugging mode off and back on, restore to backup, complete wipe and reinstall of 2 ROMs with and without apps, fix permissions, different kernels, different USB cables... The adaptor is in good condition. But when plugged in while on my phone doesn't recognize that's it's connected. Previously out would give a false charging reading. If off sometimes I got the grey bar battery but note is just vibrating every few seconds. Idk what to do...

I had the same problem. S4 will recognize charger as USB charger, not AC. solution was to clean usb port connector, was some cloth covering wires. then restarted and worked ok
I am having trouble charging the phone the same way. I have reset the phone 3 times and still can't get a charge.

[Q] Nexus 7 Not charging/USB not detected while turned on

My nexus 7 recently started to behave weirdly, it doesnt charge while turned on, neither with USB or AC. It does charge perfectly well when turned off.
I am unable to use the USB either no device is detected, nor in normal mode, USB debugging, fastboot or adb.
Please help me to get this USB brick fixed on my Nexus 7 asap.

I've had this problem for a few weeks now and have yet to find a solution.
I'm quite astonished I haven't found a fix for this either. I have yet to open mine up ... I'm try to get the bootloader relocked, so I can warranty the dumb thing. But since it's not recognized by USB when powered on, I can't.
Have you tried putting pressure on the cable when it's plugged in? Also are you using the factory cable?

Unfortunately it is a hardware failure. Most likely the USB port assembly. It is possible there is a loose ribbon cable connection.
Nexus 7 not charging
I have the same problem. My Nexus 7 will not charge when turned on. It will not now connect to my pc. I have checked the drivers and all are ok.
It happened a few days ago Its rooted. I can restore backups that are on my Nexus through rom manager, but still the same problem. I thought of doing a factory reset, but if it will still not connect to my pc. I will loose the data. If it is a hardware usb port failure, what is the next stop
I know this is going to sound strange but open up the back of the Nexus and you will find your battery... And you will notice that it's loose you have to plug or wedge it back on to the battery clip it comes loose overtime use a credit card or similar to open the case :thumbup: success

Similar thing happened to me... No amount of pressure or angling of the charging port would work. Batteries ran dead as a result. Sent it to the service center and they would assess it for 2-3 days and try to repair since it is under warranty. I'm gonna get an official dock to try and save the charging port from the stress of always being in use although I know that's not the only factor at play.

That's sounds a good idea with the official dock for charging, but you should not have to do that.
To much usage of the micro usb port is going to give problems. I'm always connected to my pc, downloading roms ect. but as I said before, my N7 charges perfectly when not turned on.

I think the only answer is a faulty USB connection.
I tried to change mine and finished up snapping the connectors. :crying:
Now have one useless N7
Long story short: plugged the n7 into the car's OEM stereo USB port on a long trip and it registered as a device with the stereo and let me play some music off of it, when I woke up a couple hours later it wouldn't charge.
After a short bit of troubleshooting, I found that OTG devices were still working but it would only charge if I shut it right down - if I start it charging while it's turned off and leave the charger attached while powering it up it's not detected by the software so it never says it's charging, but does still charge - though if at any point I pull the charger from either the n7 or it's supply I have to shut it right down again to get it to charge. Unfortunately, the same can't be said of a PC USB device connection (aside from the charging part of course.)
After a couple weeks using it like this, I got my hands on a multimeter (my stuff is all packed in storage indefinitely or I'd have been replying to this topic sooner) and confirmed that I never register anything beyond a few millivolts on the detect/sense pin (which I find very odd as it's supposed to have a pull-up) with nothing attached to the usb port, and that aside from a short time in fasboot that unless the n7 is powered right off it's trying to supply 5V to the USB connector. I attempted to use the faux123 kernel that has options to disable this power to allow host+charging (and my hope was to slow the battery rundown to make it more usable even if I have to shut it off to charge it), but the n7 appears to ignore this and still powers the USB connector.
In this case it most definitely is NOT the IO/USB/headphone assembly inside the unit. At the moment I'm operating on the theory that Asus skimped on protection circuitry in the charge circuit as in my mind this type of damage should never occur when it's properly designed, and I'm presuming the motherboard dead with regards to being a USB device - too bad my warranty is likely up, though I can't check that as it was a gift and all the paperwork is buried in storage. Thankfully it's still capable of fast charging when off, though this doesn't leave me very happy as this also effectively takes away most recovery options if fastboot is the only thing left working.
If I manage to source a replacement mobo I will work on doing a post-mortem and seeing if it's down to a faulty component (I've seen this sort of behaviour before, a pulled up line not getting pulled up, when a filtering capacitor decides to go flakey.) More likely though I'll either sell it, give it away or put it on the junk pile with the rest of the Asus products I've had to retire in the last month due to their questionable customer support (the other products were due to Asus deciding they were "legacy products" and not updating drivers for windows 8/8.1 despite only being 5 years old.)

Very Interesting
I am sure you are right, but I'm not qualified to agree or disagree.
I have had quite a few Asus products in the past and never had any problems.
My Nexus 7 (2012) was also charging properly. I only have the issue that it only charge when turned off AFTER I charged it:
(1) using car charger; and
(2) charge it using official charger but inside a train using train's power plug
So it seems that these devices really need a normal wall-charging paired with official charger.. otherwise, something bad might happen..
Has anyone tried to use Wireless Charger? does it work?

[Q] Nexus 4 charging mode won't stay in AC, drops to USB

phone only started doing this over the last couple months, used to be able to plug in (either charger / cable) and charge in AC mode without supervision.
Nowadays, it takes several plug in attempts to even START in AC mode, but typically it'll drop down to USB (the screen comes on momentarily when the change occurs) at some point in the charging.
Worst case scenario, it'll change rapidly back into AC and out, to the point where I can watch it on happen on the screen. That's rarer though.
It never changes INTO AC and stays there, to be clear. Always a downgrade to USB charging.
Is something wrong physically with the jack on the phone? I've never damaged the phone, dropped in water, etc.
If RMA is what's suggested as my only option - is that a brand new phone or refurbished?
Use another USB charger, its a known problem with the supplied LG charger with the N4. I myself have this problem but am using another charger and its fine.
The USB cable has no problems btw, its the charger itself.
Can you link to your sources on this being a "known problem" ?
I'm pretty sure the same issue persists with my old Samsung charger too - the one supplied with the Galaxy Nexus. So.. that suggest the problem is with the phone, not the charger/cable.
i also have the exact same problem just now.. i'll try using another charger tonight at home..
just now i charged my nx4 using its original charger, in just a couple of minutes, the phone is saying that its being charged using usb.. stupid..
I'm also getting this at the moment, I'm completely stock, not even rooted and this has cropped up only since the 1.8mb Security Patch....
Any fixes?
Will root if I can fix it....
I was/am having this issue as well. I typically charge my phone via car charger (works fine) or wireless, so I can get around this issue easily. Plugging it into the PC and enabling fast charge with franco's kernel works as well.
I tried my N10 charger and it was dropping to USB as well. When I'm at my friend's place and use his generic charger, it works fine.
I used to have this issue but ever since I updated Android to 4.3, my charging works just fine.

Might try a factory reset and see does it make any difference...
do we have any more thoughts on this issue? is it a software bug? is it hardware? which hardware? I am going to experiement with a few different wall chargers and usb cables.
so 3 chargers (Galaxy Nexus' , Nexus 4's, USB 3.0 port on PC) and 3 cables (likewise + cable from monoprice)
SEEM to yield the results, that the problem is the connection between the cable and the phone. The oldest and most used cable has the hardest time establishing and maintaining an AC connection, the newest/lest used one from monoprice has never had a problem, and the LG cable is in the middle.
Is this an issue of wear and tear on both the cable connectors and the phone's port? It's really lame the phone and it's cable are not even a year old and THAT can't stay charging at AC voltages.
Will a replacement phone from Google be a refurbished unit or brand new?

They will send you a new (not refurb) phone and you will have 21 days to send back your old phone. The replacement process is super easy, just call them at +1 855 83NEXUS and tell them your issue. They will walk you through a factory reset and if the problem is not fixed they will replace it.
I've had issues with the microusb port on multiple phones in the past, and have definitely noticed the N4's socket getting looser.
On an old HTC sensation, I had to resolder the port on. Can you reproduce the behavior by applying slight pressure to the plug in various directions?
Does your connection also intermittently drop out when connected to a computer?
A workaround for the time being could be to use a kernel that allows you to force fast charging regardless of the detected charger. But at that rate, it's quite possible you'll lose your usb port altogether sometime in the future..
You could also enable adb over wireless, and check the charger type:
Code:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/msm_otg/chg_type
You should be seeing DCP (has the data pins connected, possibly with some resistance).
Or proprietary if you're using an Apple-compatible charger (has aspecific voltage on the data pins).
If you see SDP, it means it's in "USB" mode.
If it's staying DCP/proprietary but the charge rate is dropping to "USB," it means the phone is throttling down the current because it's detecting the charger can't deliver (voltage dropping below threshold).
with the good cable (monoprice), wiggling has no effect.
with the poorest cable (samsung), wiggling will rapidly change it between AC / USB / nadda
with the LG cable, wiggling, will SOMETIMES have an effect. sometimes it's solid and will only become a flaky connection after it's been charging a while already

[Q] i9505 Only Charges when OFF

Hey guys, since yesterday, my i9505 only charges when it is off.
When it is on, nothing happens. When it is on, if i connect the USB to the PC it also does not charge nor recognize any device (not even listed in "lsusb"). The connector is fine, because when i connect a USB OTG cable, and a USB stick, it mounts normally.
Also, from recovery and from Download mode, i am able to use USB cable connected to pc. So, problem is not with the connector.
I have flashed back to Stock, un-rooted, from ODIN. Still does not charge when is on.
It only charges when the phone is off. (Shows the battery icon, with a circle in the middle).
Also, i have tried annother battery too, and different chargers.
Any ideas?
Does not seem to be battery, does not seem to be software, does not seem to be connector, and does not seem to be charger.
obs: it charges when in recovery. (TWRP)
I have the same problem. Got it when going from 4.2.2 stock to 4.4.2 Pac rom.
Going back to 4.2.2 stock did not solve the problem
Any ideas anybody?

Yeap!
I changed the charging port too, and it solved.
It was actually very easy to change. I bought the part, and watched a Youtube video showing how to open the device..
Very strange, that it charged when the phone was off..
anyways,
it solved. I noticed that my original OEM charger with original OEM cable is only charging the phone with max 480mA... while, when i use my Tablet charger it charges up to 1500mA...
I know it should be going up to 1900mA or even 2A... but, it is not happening.
Maybe my charger is also faulty

at least it is charging now... =D

LG G6 USB issue

So my phone will charge fine but only in "slow" charge.
I am unable to connect usb to laptop etc.
It only charges.
ADB, fastboot, MTP, Fast Charge doesn't work anymore.
All drivers installed fine, tested 4 cables, debbuging is on (tried off too)
I flashed stock ROM same issue, flashed fulmics same problem.
I did have the usb plug replaced by LG as it made my phone go crazy on/off charge every second until I unplugged it.
Any other suggestions?
I had this happen just yesterday and my problem was a buildup of lint in the usb port which prevented the cable from being fully inserted. The connection was good enough to charge (sometimes slow charging only) but usb communications just didn't work. I used compressed air and the pointy end of a small zip tie to clean it out.

Done all that too and still not working. Getting paranoid incase I run into issue I cannot connect via fastboot or download mode. Laptop doesn't even recognize it.
