I have yet to see this issue reported anywhere so was wondering if anyone was having the same problem.
After having the phone charging in the wall my vibrant has started piping up with a notification that usb has connected even though it's not plugged into anything. Rebooting doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas?

Does that when I charge it in my car. I just ignore it.

Does that with my wall charger but I suspect it is happening bc my puppy chewed on the cord. Didn't get all the way thru though and it still charges fine

My phone has been doing the same thing. Says usb connected when nothing is plugged in. stovk firmware, only rooted. Just happened this morning. Apparently many other people have been having the same problem. Can't seem to find a solution yet. Reboot into recovery and wore cache sill no luck. I heard wiping data doesnt work either.
I'm having the same issue but on the Fascinate. I thought that this was do to the Voodoo lagfix so I removed that but it's still happening.
I'm rooted and have CWM loaded but no other modifications.
For me, the USB notifier keeps popping up every second or so. I can't reboot the phone as it still thinks it's connected and shows a battery symbol that isn't charging and then dims. To complete boot I have to either 1) plug in a powered usb cable or 2) pull the battery.
I've had the battery out for 15 minutes and that usually stops this from happening for a day or so. I have no idea what's causing this but I'm leaning towards this being hardware related. Possibly bad battery? I don't know. I have experienced this in my car too.
Some other thoughts, does this phone react differently to different USB cables? I know it's odd, but when I plug into my wall jack using a generic cable I don't get the notifier at all, when I plug into my car with the Samsung cable, sometimes it appears. Of course, it's more of a problem when it appears when no cable it pushed in and it cycles on and off.
Does anyone with this problem have a spare battery they could try?
That happened to me before. I rebooted and that didn't fix it, so I did a master reset and that cleared it up. It was kind of pain to redo everything, but not too bad.
Someone else posted over at Something awful the following:

I had a really fun day with my Vibrant yesterday. Interested in seeing if it repeats today. I was on the phone when it just randomly shut down. I was a little surprised, since it was plugged into the car charger and shouldn't have run out of batteries. Then without me pressing any buttons, it boots itself up. Then over the course of the evening it does the following:
* Repeatedly turn itself on then shut itself down while plugged in.
* Repeatedly display the "USB Connected" dialogue while not connected
* Refuse to recognize USB actually IS connected while plugged in to the computer.
* Randomly turn itself off if not connected to USB
* Automatically turn itself on whenever plugged into the USB port.
* Refuse to turn on if the battery cover isn't attached.
Plus some other stuff I'm probably forgetting. I have no idea what started all this.
This continued in more hilarious fashion yesterday when I took it to the T-Mobile store and the rep couldn't get it to boot (it would just give the spinning wheel for a few seconds). The rep called in for a warrant replacement.
I told him it would get past that screen if plugged in. Sadly, I was going out of town and left my USB charger. So I found out if I blew into the USB charging port right as I pushed the power button it would boot.
I charged it overnight and today it continued the errors (repeatedly USB connected while unplugged, etc). T-Mobile tried to push the JI-6 update again. It bricked my phone, again. I went into Odin and restored it to stock, again.
Then I manually applied the JI6 update via ODIN. Phone has been working flawlessly since then.

Maybe coincidental but I just blew into my USB port and the notifier stopped flashing on and off.
Serveral ways to do it and it is actually all over this thread as it appears to be a pretty major issue lately. I also had it on my phone, called tech support and they said it was a known issue and JI6 had the fix. I couldn't get the fix since i was on a third party ROM but was able to find Bionix 1.9.1 that has the JI6 update built in and flashed it and have been without the USB annoyance since. So, to fix you can flash a ROM with the JI6 update built in OR use Odin to flash the JI6 to your phone. For me using Rom Manager is easier than Odin.
Read my thread for a fix that worked for me. Its in Q&A

I've done a Factory Reset before when I went back to stock and that didn't help me.

I suppose this wouldn't be possible for me as I have the Verizon Fascinate. Our update 2.1 - Update 1, DI01 didn't include a USB fix that I'm aware of.
any body have fix usb connected ?
i've done all which is writes around the internernet after reading 400+ web site threads/posts still not able to solve, Please if anybody have done please share with us
thanks
the vibrant seems to do that when you have a cable that is wired for data transfer, the vibrant sometimes gives you the message even when your not connected to a computer, (I.E. connected to the wall) if you use a cable that does not do data transfer (it will specifically say not for data transfer on the package) then it will never pop up. Rocketfish makes one of these type cables, its usually more convenient to just deal with the notification rather than getting a special cable though. I only got the charging cable cause the data transfer cables were pretty expensive at best buy. the power only cables are a bit cheaper.
@firely
i think you don;t know my all story ;-)
actually without connect charger or usb cable i'm not able to turn on my phone,
after on usb connected message appear at left side top,
i want to trade my phone (its brand new like get before 2 weeks)
that's way i want to solve this problem, Phone Should be on without any power connected like usb and charger,
its my story
USB Issue Perhaps Larger Then It Seems
My update on this, no one seems to have presented a solution. Flashes, kernels, etc don't fix. The problem is it incapacitates your phone, as there is no internal SD card mounted since it thinks USB is plugged in. Can't download songs on SD card, can't power on without it plugged in and seeing battery indicator first. Then last night on top of everything, my market showed downloads that I didn't authorize. Strange behavior, I have put bionix, know how to ODIN, etc, but nothing so far has fixed this USB connected / mounted issue and it seems like I have to return this. I'm worried there is a virus associeted with this behavior. I don't download apps that appear dangerous, (sex related, obscure, not without many downloads or robust developer site). I have a friend who has JI6 but has never rooted or modded and around the same time, Halloween his started this too. Power indicator still indicates charging after unplugged, USB connected constantly flashes off and on, battery life is worse. There is soemthing deeper seemingly happening because rebooting, resetting data, wiping dalvik cache, does not give me the basic ability to turn on phone without USB connection. App settings, I say choose on connect. Finally got computer to recognize again as a drive, but inconsistent, tried to reinstall USB drivers on win7. over all really wonky behavior since it powered down while on charger a week or so ago. Sometimes plugging into wall charger gives error. Only way to get it to stop showing USB message was to unmount phone storage, but now I don't even get options to mount or unmount phone storage. love this screen and have loved modding but frustration is sinking in, will try to get tmo to replace with this, but hoping it's not a larger virus related issue, would be scary deal.
hey said it was a known issue and JI6 had the fix

I don't think so: I have the rooted JI6 on the phone incl. Clockw.
Yesterday I see also that the USB cable "should" be connected, after I have enable the Debug-Mode, the red Triangle comes too in the status bar.
That's all in the Underground station
A reboot helps on my side.
USB Woes Continue, Phone Meltdown
This is not just a debugging / reboot issue in my case, it is also effecting my friends who doesn't have bionix, just the JI6 build TMO OTA update. THis is a serious bug, perhaps brought on by a virus who knows, but my buddy who has this same problem is now going ballistic and running into the arms of apple. there is no resolution to this issue throughout the forums. Tmo is exchanging with me, and I have installed multiple ROMs, know how to search forums, kernels, ODIN, all that. Now my radio for cellular doesn't turn on and I have to reboot, it just seems pretty hosed at the moment and I find it coincidental that my friends phone (he is a technical design guy) is having the same mounting SD card issue, basically bottom line is, the thing won't turn on without being plugged in and flashing back to stock, different roms, still will not mount the internal SD card, or recognize it in many cases. I have reformatted, cleared davlik cache, most options from recovery, no dice. can't download to SD card, because it always thinks USB is connected, even when the device is turned off. i hope this resent one works fine and I will document the details since this happened for the hard working devs to have details that maybe can be discovered, but the most worrisome part is that it seems like it may be virus related. I hope that's not the case and just odd coincidence. There is no changing USB settings or debugging combinations that will solve this issue in my experience.
sad but hopeful vibrant owner,

vibrant with stock (after bionix fusion), oc / uv JAC kernel.
I just got this issue as well and nothing has worked for me so i'll be replacing it with a new vibrant but I wont have a phone for about a month! Does anyone know if tmobile rents out phones?

would you happen to have a link to said thread?
Mine does it when I plug into the wall charger. I just went ahead and synced with the house. Now I can turn the lamps on/off from anywhere.
Im having problems with my phone. My current setup is used aroot before update did the retain root, and later webtop mod for the 4.1.57 Now i am having usb port issues. 1st issue i noticed sometime when phones hooked to computer it freaks out like its being plugged in and unplugged so i hear the notification bell going off like 10 times. Just now it had popped up error that device failed and crashed my whole usb bus till i shutdown computer. And lastly my usb doesnt work with car anymore. doesnt even pop up notification to choose usb connection anymore. but the battery does show charging and screen gets bright so i know its doing some kind of connection. anyone seen these issues? or know what i should try? when connected to pc just now after the crash i get the phone portal to work as normal and notifications functioning.
ok update, the car issue seem to fixed itself powered off and back on and worked again. not sure about computer part yet.
ok problem not fixed, still usb connection issues to both car and computer. going to try uninstalling webtop mod see if that fixes it. bbut see had no replys so guess no one else had this issue.
So I came back from vacation (with a new Nexus 7) and wanted to throw 4.3 on to my N4. I had formatted my computer a while back, so I installed all the SDK stuff, usb drivers, etc... I did a factory image ADB install of 4.3 on my old N7 (to let the wife try) and went to try to do the same on my N4.
No matter what I do, the device is "not recognized" by windows when connecting via USB. In device manager it simply says "Unknown device" with an exclamation mark. I have tried unistalling/updating drivers (says proper drivers already installed), unistalling/updating drivers via SDK manager, nothing...
Sometimes it will get recognized as a USB device (in general, but the same errors) and sometimes nothing will happen with my computer at all when it's connected (i.e. no sound or anything). I have obviously rebooted the phone and computer multiple times, used multiple USB ports and cables. Just to make sure things were working with ANY device I did the uninstall/reinstall of the USB drivers, hooked up the N7 and it was recognized immediately (the new N7, first time I plugged it in via USB). I have tried with debugging on/off, with MTP/camera, everything I can think of.
The only consistent thing is that the device does charge every time it is plugged in to the computer.
I'm on a stock rooted 4.2.2 with Franco 165. I have never enabled USB fast charging, nor is it currently enabled. I also don't generally hook my devices up to the computer, so this is probably the first time since 4.2.2 came out. I also have not installed any new apps in a long time (and I have very few outside of stock to begin with).
The only things that have changed recently...
- I used a T-Mobile sim when I was on vacation (not my normal provider), and I'm back on my normal provider now. I assume that that is not the issue
- I used a car charger extensively while I was away (I don't normally use it at all). By extensively I mean it was plugged in for hours at a time (GPS). It did appear to have issues charging at times, did get VERY warm at times, and toward the end of a long session of charging it did shut off (and had issues rebooting/with the battery after). It is probably a cheaper made "chinese" charger if that matters
- Liteflow also appears not to be clearing notifications properly since the T-Mobile sim was in. I don't know why...
- Battery life in general seems to be decreasing since I've been home. It notably goes down, especially when not in use.
- I still have the system update icon in my tray (I'd like to do it via ADB)
Would the car charger do this? Again, outside of the battery life seeming to die faster, the liteflow issue, and the USB issue, everything else seems to be working normally.
I'm just out of ideas on why the USB isn't being recognised on my computer with the N4.
Wow you have just described exactly the problem I've been having for the past few days! I am in the exact same boat. Bump for exposure and possibly a fix!
Hello,
I received the YotaPhone 2 (YD206) today.
The box was sealed.
When I tried to turn on the phone, it didn't start. I thought it was empty so I put in on charger for 2 hrs.
After that I tried again , but still nothing happened -- i was holding power button multiple times, as long as 5 minutes at the time, but there was simply no response -- no vibration, no sound, screen remains black (not turned on), anything at all.
I tried different chargers as well (Xiaomi and Samsung one) -- they weren't working with this phone either.
When I connect phone to a PC, I just hear sound that something is connected (I saw installing drivers notice first time I connected it), but nothing happens at all. I don't see the phone in my computer or anywhere else.
Is there way I can fix this somehow? What else can I try?
Thanks!
You can try unlocking the bands like described here.
Not sure it will help but you can at least try.

Sounds like the phone is defect. The only thing I can think of is that it somehow freezed up and you will need to let the battery drain so all power is off the phone and then try to recharge it. Draining the phone completly without screen use can take up to 7 days.
I finally managed to turn it on,by keeping it on charger for whole day and night and after a couple of attempts it was on.
I thought battery voltage was pretty low which prevented it from turning on.
I used a phone for a day, completely discharged it and then recharged it to 100% again. I thought everything is gonna be good now.
Then I wanted to upgrade to Lollipop, I decided to use YotaFlasher to flash EU KitKat first, and that worked fine. After that, I used OTA update to download Lolipop.
Download finished, and I was offered to "restart device and apply update", but as soon as I confirmed, the device went off and I can't turn it on anymore. What the heck is happening with this yotaphone? (battery was at 97%)
I can't turn it on, restart, put in download or recovery mode, get it to charge or get the screen on. Also PC don't recognize it *AT ALL* -- not even sound that something is connected. It looks completely dead (again).
Any ideas what I can do to fix my new problem?
I can charge my phone through USB when connecting to my laptop, but it does show up as a device, anywhere. I've tried ADB, Fastboot, and Device Manager. It doesn't even show up in Device Manager as an unknown device (e.g. yellow exclamation point). I've enabled USB debugging, changed the USB configuration to File Transfers, used multiple cables (including the OOB red one), multiple machines (Windows 10 and 7), but I see nothing. No storage drive, no errors, no Windows sound indicating a device has been connected. But still it charges. I thought about wiping to factory settings, but given I'm not connecting via Fastboot or ADB, is that even worth trying?
I'm on OOS 3.5.6 unrooted and bootloader is still locked, although I've previously had other builds and TWRP on it (so USB used to work for data). I figure that OnePlus won't support me because the screen is cracked in the bottom corner, but I don't see how that could have broken just the data pins and not the charging ones. I think I had this problem before I dropped the phone, but I can't be 100%.
Same problem
I too have the same problem , I too have never rooted it ...Never dropped , never rooted but still suffering from the same problem...
There is an option in the develiper options...
That has these issues sorted with
Try it out there or just let me know
Try changing the cable too. The pins might have worn out
P. S I do not have the issue. Suggestions only
