Omnia 7 USB Problem

Recently I've been getting these "USB Malfunctioned" errors in Windows whenever I connect my phone to my computer. It was working fine a few days ago. I've tried disabling USB devices and resetting my computer but it fails to recognize the device. What could be wrong? I've tried replacing the USB cable and I'm running Windows 7. The phone is charging fine so I doubt it's a hardware fault. What do you guys think?

I had the same problem. I bought a new USB Micro USB-B Cabel.
Then it was all fine, no errors, no problems.

But I've tried another USB cable so what could the problem possibly be?

Could be your USB jack in the computer, happens to me. I have to unplug the cable, turn off the phone, then back on, and then plug the cable in and the computer.
The jack isn't so tight on my motherboard so if I move the phone while it's plugged in, it does a quick unplug, plug in, and that causes the problem for me.
It pisses me off cause it could totally f' up an update.

I've tried all the USB ports on my laptop, everything else works fine so it's not that.

Bump, some help would be good.

Bump, guys ._.

Well, I know precious little about stuff like this, but once you've exhausted all other possibilities it might be time for a hard reset and if that doesn't bring a cure, back to the shop, waving your warranty thingy.
Good luck!

I've got the same issue..anyone have any luck recently?

Try it on another computer, hard reset, if that doesn't work, contact Samsung for a replacement or repair.

USB Issues

Just starting yesterday, when I plug my phone into my computer all it does is charge. No option to mount, no "usb not recognized", nothing. I can get into download mode but Odin doesn't recognize it.
I've searched dozens of other threads, tried most suggestions and can't seem to get anything to work. Suggestions would be appreciated.

Maybe you don't have drivers or bad USB I have 2 one only charges the other does both

Reboot the phone

I have the drivers, I've had no problems connecting previously. I've rebooted the phone multiple times.

Out of 3 galaxy s type devices: 1 doesn't even charge anymore, 1 charges but wont do data and 1 works if the cable is held at an angle. I think samsung can't make usb ports

I'm just now about to start a post asking how to change roms with out my usb. I had the same problem start months ago. First things where normal. Then, every now and then I would have to re plug the usb cable into the port to get it to mount. Then finally one time it just all together stopped working. I can charge, the charging icon comes up but no mounting options.
On the bright side, this is the first phone I have ever owned that I can just sync over wifi. And at least its not an apple device, if charging stops I can get an external battery charger ; )

My vibe is over a year old and I never close the door on the usb port. When I had the same issue as the OP it was a dirty usb port. I carefully cleaned it, which took a few times and it finally worked. Do it with the battery pulled. The loose port is caused from the male end of the original cable not the phone so I bought a new cable and it fits snug.

Over heating and USB problem

I've had my Galaxy S2 for 4 months now and now have a problem. When I plug the phone in, whether to USB or to the charger, it takes it a bit to recognize the phone is plugged in and to start charging. When I plug it in to USB it will charge after a minute, but I can not connect my phone to be mass storage. Windows can't detect it at all. If I disconnect the usb cable, my phone still thinks it is connected, with the notification for USB connection staying in the notification bar. In addition to this, my phone gets excessively hot regularly. I always make sure there isn't a runaway app, but that doesn't seem to matter.
Any one have any ideas?

I found a thread that describes my problem here.

I think I have solved the problem. I somehow managed to bend the USB pcb connector. I bent it back up towards the screen and everything is acting normal again. Read the link above for more information

Charging problems - only charging over USB

Hi there,
I have a big problem with charging my Galaxy S4. It only charges with my notebook USB Port, my AC-adapter does not work.
In the battery menu I can see that AC is connected, when I plug my adapter in. But charging does not work with my device.
Over USB I can charge slowly. This isn't a software problem, I have done some resets and firmware changes since the problem.
Maybe my phone got a little bit wet earlier. Could this be the problem? Can I fix this with changing the USB port part of the hardware?

Yes, I tried another cable but had no success

I dunno if I can ask it here, but i don't charge over usb, i mean it just "hold" the power level for me. Is that normal ?
Is your AC outlet working ?

Having issue where S4 only charges with USB and vibrates when using AC charger
I've been having some issues with my S4. I did recently get it a little wet, but it's working fine in all cases except charging. I have my phone next to my bed charging every night. I noticed it was dead one morning, but I figured I didn't connect the charger properly. The next night I noticed it was vibrating every 5 seconds or so, but the phone had turned off due to a low battery. Very strange behavior.
I realized that it would start charging, but it would stop between 1-3 minutes. The the phone would vibrate and not charge.
I've ready MANY posts from others with the same issue and someone mentioned their phone charges over USB. Seemed odd, but I tried it and voila, my phone charged perfectly. I have many samsung cables, none of which work. It's definitely not the cable. I can plug a samsung cable into my phone connected to AC and it doesn't work. I pull the USB portion out of the AC charger and plug into a computer and it immediately and consistently charges. The battery holds its charge as expected, so it doesn't appear to be a battery issue.
I've tried the developer mode options - no luck.
I've tried bending the charging prong - no luck.
I've tried blowing out the charging port with compressed air - no luck.
I recently got an update pushed to my phone (Sprint), but I don't think it was happening right after the update. Seems like a likely software issue.
I did get my phone a little wet recently, actually it was my young children throwing water at me.
I've read so many posts and nobody seems to have a good answer for this issue. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Problem with moisture detetcted galaxy s8

I got strange problem with my galaxy s8 exynos version unlocked. So, when i charge my phone with original adapter, notification moisture detected has been pop up. I already make sure that the port or even the cable are dry and clean.
I restart my phone, and try it again, and the notification pop up again. I connect my original adapter to wireless charge and no problem at all.
Then, when i change my the adapter with another phone adapter, but still using my s8 cable, my phone can charge. But when i using the original adapter, the moisture detected is come again. Any solutions ? Thank you.
