Ok so my Vouge's screen busted on me and I was using mymobiler to use the phone till I got a replacement. Now I have a temporary phone and I will be getting an HTC HD2 and I would like to get everything off of my Touch and on to the HD2.
Problem is all of a sudden my phone does not want to connect to my computer with either ActiveSync or MyMobiler... I did not change anything that I can think off. The only difference I have noticed is before the phone use to stay lit up regardless of how long the phone was connected to the computer. Now all it will do is show the charging light but the screen dims after a a bit and then eventually turns off but still shows the charging light. As long as I have had this phone it never did this while connected to a computer it always stayed light up...
Is there anything thing I can do to get this to connect again?? Any help would be great, thanks in advance guys...

Have you tried to soft reset?

It might not do anything but it is worth a shot anyways. Take out the battery for a couple of seconds, put it back in, and turn on the device. Then, connect it back to the computer, but to a different USB port than the one you normally use.
Yeah I have tried that to though I used the same usb port so I will try it again after work... I don't understand what happened it worked fine like a week ago now nothing... I really would like to get the stuff off of it. Sprint told me the port may have went bad and I am going in Friday to have them look at it but still doesnt't seem like that is the issue.

I agree, otherwise it wouldn't even charge.
Yeah that is what I was thinking... but then again it is acting like I am using the wrong USB cord. Like I have a mini usb cord for my external hard drive and if I would use that it back when my phone worked it would do the same exact thing, just charge and not connect.
But I am using the cord provided by HTC and I even tried using my digital camera's cord because I know that one would work to before. Nothing... This is pissing me off I don't understand why it randomly doesn't want to work after 2 years of no issues...

Well, it could be that the reason why your screen failed was because of a problem with the electronics (board on the phone) and after such a long time using it, it finally gave up. Kinda like riding in your car with a nail in the tire. You can keep going, but eventually... it will give in.

It could simply be that something shorted. Have you tried to attach it to another computer?
Yeah... I guess I'm screwed unless the sprint store can do something for me when I go in there
Have you tried a different PC? (doubt this is the case, but...
Hi. I moved from a DInc on Verizon to the Vibrant because I hated the sunlight on an AMOLED, and because Verizon was stealing my money. Although honestly verizon just lowered prices, and Tmo's network is still crap in my town.
Anyways down to business: My phone is rooted, and I applied one click lag fix. I am assuming that was when problems started but then again not for sure. I've gone from stock to Vibrant5 to Vibrant6 roms, no change.
The first problem here is this: my phone always thinks it's plugged in to USB. It cycles on an off, but never just stops and stays normal. I'm talking several times a minute ''usb connected'' or whatever on, off, on, off... annoying but no big deal. Except that freaking battery meter that pops up when your phone is off but plugged in via USB starts popping up when it's not plugged in and my phone is turning on... but since there isnt really usb in, it just hangs and resets. The second I plug in a real usb, meter pops up and i just turn it on and all good.
Second problem, which makes it so bad: my phone does this things that I've seen on XDA several times where when the processor bogs down, or GPS is on, or whatever taxes the phone, it will randomly reset once or twice a day.
Put those together and what you get is me, in public away from a charger, with a phone that won't turn on. WTF. So I repeatedly take the battery out and jam the power button till once in a while I'm able to start it before the stupid usb thinks its plugged in. Other times I'm screwed till I find my car charger.
Now, what can I do? Before anyone says warranty, yes I unrooted, did my best to unlagfix, and went to the Tmo store. They ordered me a new phone. However I have to send mine in when it gets and here and would like to insure there is no root related crap for them to find, plus I'm stuck with this phone freaking out on me for another week.
I was having the same problem , but it started since.my dougther put the usb canle in her mouth xD , I just cleaned the contacts and waited a few hours but now is fine , running

cleaned the contacts on your cable, or inside your usb port on the phone? How would you clean those?

If people keep messing up their phones by rooting and flashing roms and then, rather than trying to fix the problem, send them into tmobile, I bet future firmwares and android phones will be more like the iPhone and iOS.
First I would try to flash it back to stock and leave t factory. Then if problem persist, its probably hardware. I mean you are returning it anyways so flash it back to the stock rom and do a factory reset

I have been encountering a strange problem with every 2.2 flash I have done. After a random amount of time the sensitivity of the touch screen fades away until it becomes completely unresponsive. Then if I lock and unlock the phone it will work again for a while. It seems if I keep doing something on the screen it wont do it, but if I let it sit for a few seconds it happens. Sometimes it starts to act up right after the flash and other times it takes 10-12 hours.
I have had the exact same problem with DL30 and EB01 clean and stock versions. I have disabled and removed voodoo before any changes, I have wiped wiped and wiped again. I even did the D101 odin package then worked forward. I have let it sit unchanged for hours after the flash not letting it update anything same result. Launcher pro Tw, same result.
I guess I am fine with my wonderfully working DL09 Superclean but without getting past this I am at the end of my road for all the development goodies, and I want flash!
Anyone have any ideas??

Stock charger and not happening on DL09. It does it really bad (2.2) whenever the charger is plugged in, I have heard this is a known issue. Perhaps somehow related to my problem?
do you run aLogcat or anything like that? I would wonder if there is anything logged by the system when this happens...

I have actually noticed this issue a couple times also, completely annoying. And certain spots on the screen that will go unresponsive, but only certain spots, and if I lock/unlock, it will start working again, REALLY annoying when trying to send a text message.. and its always different parts of the screen.
this dosent help but i have the same problem at least we not alone

Yes, I forgot to mention it happening in certain spots, then eventually the whole screen.
It "seems" to me that the touch screen is prematurely shutting down with the back light still on. Although, sometimes this happens right after I unlock it. Grrr frustrating!

How bad have you had it? bad enough to flash back to eclair or have you been dealing with it? It drove me nuts, I went back. I sure would like to figure it out though!
I believe it has something to do with the charger either being incompatible with the phones hardware or software. I bet the issue disappears the second you disconnect the charger too doesn't it? Mine was doing the same thing. I bought another charger directly from verizon at the store and it resolved my issues. I realized it after hearing a few complaints on the forum. I had an issue like this once before on my Samsung Moment...and it fried my phone.

First I have the charger that came with the phone so I don't think that is the problem. Second I do have the problem much worse when plugged it. But it still persists with it un plugged, to the point of it being un usable.

Yeah for me it ended up being the charger. Dunno, maybe something happened to your port or it got damp and fried something...but I'm telling you, exact same issue happened to me. I couldn't use my phone when it was plugged in. Haptic would go crazy and I couldn't text. Got used to unplugging it when I wanted to send a text. Then after about a week, the issue started happening to the phone after it was unplugged. Took it in and sprint voided my warranty on that one b/c they said I'd fried the port by using an unauthorized charger.

No, re-worded my phrase. It was for me. No idea how or what happend. To this day it bewilders me. It's possible that if the amount of voltage required to run can be tampared with, then who knows what else can be? People fail to understand that phones are no different from computers. You plug a buggy power supply into a main board and it's highly likely things will get fried or damaged. Especially if you start messing with the bios and try to overclock/underclock.
Most logical way I can explain it is by using cars as an example. Different grades of gas are not equal. If you're vehicle needs to run lean and you start filling her up with unleaded, you might get away with it for awhile...but after bit, your engines gonna start knocking.

Not to bash Samsung but sheesh, if they are that fussy, I will probably not buy again.
So the problem is the following: my nex 4 has suddenly stopped charging..it was 2 days ago.The strange part is that when the system runs i can't charge the phone.It looks like the phone recognizes that i put the usb cable into it,but it shows the no charging sign on the battery history menu point (and the battery is discharging).And the twist is: when the phone is fully off and i put the usb into it it charges normally(white accu on black screen)but as soon as i turn on,it stops.
I did hard reset many times...Im on stock 4.3(unlocked bootloader,no root)
I changed the cable.No progress
I use a converter cause here in Hungary we have a two pin system,but this is nothing cause it has always worked.
Btw,the phone runs normally.
Any ideas?
First,I would like to get a solution,not a "RMA it answer",it would be the last option.
Thank you for your time.
My first thought would be to try a wireless charger.

If you have tried a full hard reset then its probably a hardware issue, not a software one. Try a different charger anyways, that could be it. Or like you've said, RMA or if your feeling brave you can open the phone up to see if anything battery related is loose/disconnected

Yes this was my first thought too.I just wanted to stay away from this thing,it's a little bit tricky when the phone is from England and I'm a thousand km away.But looks like I have no choice.Thanks for the confirmation.Any thoughts about the RMA?Will they repair it?Or Changing it?

You can try. Ring up google in hungary and see if they will do it. Otherwise you would have to find someone you know in the uk to return it.
One other thing, have you tried charging from a pc, not the mains? You could try that

Hi, I Do think the converter does not meet the specifications, if your device is off it generates just enough power to trigger the charge-regulator in your nexus4 and the phone is charging; if it is switched on, the phone drains so much power from your battery and/or charging unit that there is not enough voltage/mA-Load to switch the charge-regulator in your nexus4 to "On". The power provided by a converter is no sinus wave, it has irregular spikes and waves and this might over the time-being has "weakened" your Nexus- Charger or the charging controller in your phone.. Try another converter/charger combination if possible with a converter with pure sinus-wave output.
By "Hard reset" do you mean a "factory reset"?
I have an issue when the phone temporarily stopped charging, but it was a particular rom.
You can try buying a charging board replacement from ebay: http://www.ebay.com/sch/?_nkw=nexus%204%20usb%20charging%20replacement

This. If you just went into settings and hit factory reset, it just wipes data, not the system. Try downloading the google images (Or wait for the KitKat OTA)

Okay,News...not charging from computer neither...it doesnt even recognizes it so I cant acces it trough computer.I will try with a different charger,but no chance this would be the problem
So first my power button wants to stop working, I "fixed" that issue and now that's perfectly fine,
But now, yesterday, literally my phone was sitting perfectly fine, on my desk connected to my computer using PDANet+ to tether its net. I use Speedify to combine both my net speeds to get one better, more stable speed (Crappy dorm room net data cap x 2)
After some hours of doing some homework, I attempted to take my phone off the USB connection, and when I unplugged it, I heard the disconnect sound, but my screen didn't come on, I tried to unlock it, nothing. Power button, finger print sensor, literally nothing worked. Connecting it back to my PC and other PCs showed XT1650 and ADB Interface in both my computers, so clearly it was working fine, but for some reason, it just wouldn't work. I prayed that the display from the inside didn't get disconnected somehow(As I've seen in two drop tests so far), and just let it die over night. Woke up, connected it to charger, and the screen powered on just fine showing that it was dead and its now charging.
Like..what. How. Why.
It literally had no reason to freeze like that and now it works perfectly fine as if nothing happened. Why does this device continue to scare the **** out of me?
I still love it to death though, great phone.

im returning mine and having a new one sent.Never had to do this after buying a new phone. Mine is freezing up and rebooting itself while playing games. Dont understand the problem but best buy is sending me a new one . If it does the same it will go back. I think i will just wait on the cheaper UNLOCKABLE VERSION..
Stop breaking your phone! I've run into this tons of time on Android. Just hold volume down and the power button to do a virtual battery pull. Shouldn't happen too often.
Do you like Speedify? Looks awesome, but also kind of pricey. Ever found a good free option?

Dude. I tried holding the power button for like 2 minutes. I tried holding pwr + volume down for 2 minutes, nothing worked. Whether it was connected to my PC or not, it just didn't work. It was literally frozen.
I use the free version of speedify. Their referral system is stupid. You don't even have to verify any emails, I just have one main account and a bunch of other secondary ones. I could literally make an account right now with the email [email protected] and the password asdfasdf and have a new account. I always sign up under my referral link so I know when I go back to my main account I'm going to have a stupid amount of data to go through

I actually just ordered a replacement from Motorola, you can get it through here: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/mcp/service/
Just be careful:
Option 1 is free but requires you to send your device back, wait for them to fix it, and then send it back (says it takes approximately 10 days total)
Option 2 technically costs $24.99, and requires you to only send your device back when you get your new phone (up to 4 days), however, there is a security hold just incase someone tries to scam them and hold their phone forever, and there's a tax on that too. So you'll be immediately charged ~$600 as soon as you choose this option, but it will be back in your account after you send your phone back.
