Mhl connection problem - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey. First of all I'm sorry about the poor English hope you'll understand me.
I purchased an mhl cable. I plugged in as it need to be and it didn't work.
After few moments the phone freezed and I did an restart.
When the phone started it recognized the hdmi cable and screamed for TV.
I tried to organize the cables that we messy in the desk and I plugged out the mhl from the phone.
When I tried to reconnect the cable until now the phone doesn't recognize it. I don't get the "hdmi cable connected" or something alse.
There is any solution for this problem??
Thank you for help and reading it..

USB cable not working, how do I download anything?

Hi I'm looking for some good, hopefully free, games for my HD but for some reason my USB lead has given up and I don't know how else to do it or any suitable sites?
My USB worked when I first got it, I synced with my laptop and backed everything up. Now when I plug both in the phone still charges but neither the phone or the laptop seem aware of each other! Any ideas?
Any suggestions of sites for free games that don't require USB downloads? Or what might of happened to my USB?

Have you checked usb drivers?
Put your phone into bootloader by turning off device, then holding vol down and pressing power on. You should have a tricolour screen. Now connect phone to pc via usb cable. Does bopttom of bootloader screen change from 'Serial' to 'usb'? If not, update usb drivers here
As for games. There is a list of games which work on the HD in the wiki. Try searching Themes, Applications and Software forum. Also, any further queries regarding games should be in Themes, Applications and Software forum
if all else fails use bluetooth to sync and install stuff
Search, find, download, extract.
Place downloaded on sd card (cardreader)
Insert sd card and install apllication
I have had a similar problem with my TD2, when I use the usb cable that came with the phone it charges (from the mains plug), then when connected to the PC it will detect it and sync fine, I got bored of swapping the single cable from the charger to the PC so decided to use a spare usb cable (retractable one I had for the cig lighter for my car), it charges fine (in car or charger or PC), but Windows XP gives an error. If I swap back to the other cable its fine, I dug out an old cable from my XDA Orbit and that is ok as well.
In conclusion, all usb cables are not the same, and my TD2 is more fussy with cables !! Try using a different cable.
Quite Right you are. Had the same problem a while ago. Got sick of this so I cut the not working cable. Guess what...? The bugging cable only had two threads inside. It was a cable for charging only...http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Throw the cables and buy new one. Some of the USB cables are not proper wired and wires are in bad quality.

Well that has happened for me, but since yesterday im not being able to transfer data even with de original usb cable. has this happened to anyone else?
There are some cables that are charge only. Can you post a link.
GALAXY NOTE
I'm using the original cable that came with the note but somehow only charges! it doesn't even do that usb sound when plugged, tried restarting the phone and KIES doesn't detect it either..
This is happening after yesterday the phone started saying it was having a charging/unplug LOOP (constantly vibrating) even with the cable off. this was fixed removing the battery :/
Edit 1#
i am also being unable to plug the phone via mass storage usb, it asks me to plug the usb cable and then nothing..
Edit 2#
So i confirm it's now fixed, i tried to unplug again the battery and also cleaned the usb connector of the phone with a toothbrush.. one of those fixed the problem. now I'm just crossing fingers it won't happen again :/

[Q] USB connection not working

Hello everyone, this is my first post and it´s about my Defy, which, for some reason, the USB port does not work to access the phone and/or the SD Card.
1: I did a soft and hard reset and the problem persists.
2: The phone does not show up on the device manager under Windows so not even an error message saying "Device not recognized" or something. Also, it won´t show up in Ubuntu.
3. The "Connect your charger" message shows up all the time.
4. No notification in the phone when plugged to the PC .
5. Even though I can´t access the phone from the PC, I still can´t charge it through the USB port.
6. I can connect/access the phone and SD Card using Wi-Fi (Motorola Phone Portal) but not USB. I can see "Plug in USB to launch" in Phone Portal but cannot press the button, only the one referring to Wi-Fi.
PS: This is my second Defy, the first one got the same problem so I got a new one... sadly, the it happened again.
PS2: I wonder if a USB 3.0 port has to do with anything? It´s the only thing that I noticed before the USB stopped working.
Any help or hint is greatly appreciated.
well, i don't think it's an usb3 problem ...
to be sure you could try to connect your phone with an older usb2 port computer ...
is the phone charging on wall charger and usb-cable ???
if not, it really sounds like a hardware failure ... then i would send it to customer service and tell them that there is the same problem again .. maybe the just repaired something and it's faulty again ... be sure, that they are changing the faulty things ...
if your phone is charging on wall charger, it could be that it is an problem with your pc ... try another one ...

1. I mentioned the USB 3.0 port because it was the only common thing just before the usb conection stopped working.
2. The phone charges normally using the wall charger or usb (2.0, 3.0) cable through the PC.
3. It does not matter what PC is connected to or the OS (Ubuntu, Win7)/
Thanks for the response!
It is possible to brick it. Wtih some phone's it seems to be a common error for usb ports to be blown.
Could also be the cable... My cable that came with the defy was already snatched after a few months. My screen started going on and of when I was charging it.

Is there a way to check for faulty hardware-related issues?
just test different cables, computers or even mobiles ... then you will see, what is faulty

What I meant was some software that check or even some kind of physical device.
Anyway, I know it´s not the cable or PC faulty but the phone itself. But I want to confirm if it´s software or hardware related and if there´s a fix.
Thanks!
Try using USB with logcat open. You might see something in the log that will tell you what's happening

Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)

Whenever I try to hook up the Zenfone 5 with my PC, I get the "unknown device" error, and Device Manager shows me the error on the topic: "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)".
I've tried just about anything, and nothing seems to solve it... Shut down/restart the PC, try a different USB port, remove power supply, etc...
Ah yeah, phone has access to bootloader and TWRP, but even in these modes I get this error when trying to connect via USB. Already tried different cables and different computers.
1) sorry for my english
I having this issue today too. but in my case it is the USB cable damaged and the conector on phone too. i changed the cable and open my phone and squeeze a little the conector USB and the problems solved. the stranger thing is when i conect my usb cable on usb 3.0 on pc the pc going crazy but i don't connect my phone on the other side. i think my cable is gone :/

that's sad... here I could test both my USB ports and cables with 2 other phones: they're all working nicely. So now I don't know if my problem is the USB connector or the whole south board. I did try changing it with another ZF5 I have around here, and it worked (and suddenly, that other ZF5 isn't being recognized anymore)...
