[Q] Samsung USB Flex Cable - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Damaged ActiveSync Connector?

Hi,
I inadvertently damaged the pins where the USB cable plugs into and I am not able to use active sync any longer. My PDA will still charge, but I have no data connection. Is there anyway to repair this issue? I recall seeing a pin out diagram awhile back but cannot find it any longer.
Does anyone have any suggesstions? Thanks,
Chad
Can you actually visually confirm that the pins on the phone are damaged?
I thought I damaged my phone as well.
Now my phone only works with certain chargers and certain usb cables. I got my phone to sync by using a new cable.
I would try a new cable if you haven't already.

Thankfully that is a part which is relatively easy to solder. Armed with a fine point soldering iron it's not too difficult at all. If I remember it has either 2 or 4 soldered anchor points and then of course the fine connections at the back end.
You may find a new port online or buy up a device that is being parted out.
For full functionality you need the 11 pin type (Not the 4 or 5 pin). See here:

Please help me how to fix that.
I'm currently in Karachi Pakistan and N7 was bought from USA from Google play store on September 1st. Please advise should i send it back to USA again to claim warranty or try to fix it buy opening it and replacing port because apparently +ve terminal of port is not working.

[Q] USB flex cable? help me please

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

Tablet micro USB issue possibly

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.
