Having a strange problem with usb to computer

My vibrant acts like its not connected to any computer I plug it into
I've tried two different cords and two different computers. One of them being a mac and the other being a PC
I've tried every usb port on both. It's strange.
I'm on Bionix 1.6. Should I restore back to stock and then reflash and see what happens?
Has anyone had this happen to them?

I seen somewhere that you need samsung drivers but I don't have a link for you. Personally I did the tedious task of sticking my sd in an usb adapter but I switched to wireless transfer after a week of that. Android phone drivers in general didn't load for me on Win7 64bit.

You got the Drivers installed right? soft reset your phone ? If that does not work, back up hard reset and check again. If still not working I say return it..

Yeah I have the drivers
Did the soft and hard reset
Can't return it since I got it off of a guy on somethingawful
It's whatever though i got a good deal on it and it still works great. I'll figure it out some day

I'm running windows 7 Ultimate and it works just fine, but whenever I use a different computer or a Mac I get the same problem. I tried almost everthing.

Are you running JI5/JI6 ? I have the same problem with these builds. I remember someone else had the same problem as well, could be a bug. What happens when you go into USB settings of phone and select/deselect mass storage option?

This is going to sound really really really weird but I fixed it somehow
I put the disable lagfix into the voodoo folder and rebooted my phone and plugged it into my brothers ps3 and then suddendly I could mount my phone to my computer again.
Even stranger I deleted the disable lagfix file and rebooted my phone and let it do its thing and now my USB is completely working again.
Anyone have any ideas about this? I've done the disable thing before when I was trying to fix it but never plugged it into the ps3
I'm glad I was messing with my phone when the battery was at 20 percent!

New Mango quirks?

Hello all. I used the "force" update method on my 1.3 Focus, and it went smooth. But I've noticed some quirky behavior since upgrading to Mango.
Most annoying is how my screen starts to lag out or tick when I come back to the home screen tiles.
Or when changing my pictures hub background pic, and it doesn't change on the live tile until I head back into the application and exit back out again.
Thanks in advance for any advice, or comments

I would suggest doing a full reset after upgrading. I know its a pain but it seemed to make a difference for me.

If I do a reset, will I have to do "force" update again?
Thanks again for your response.

No you don't have to force update again as full reset or any reset will reset the settings and delete all of your files but will not reset the operating system to it's originally bought with,

No need, after reset you will have the latest OS you upgraded to.

I have noticed that I can no longer highlight/copy n paste while viewing text messages, I have no idea why.
Also, I cannot for the life of me get the "Read aloud incoming text messages" feature to work, have tried with bluetooth only, wired headset only etc. Nothing seems to work.
Also, alot of people are saying they can highlight any text and without copy n paste do a search by pressing the search key next to the home button and it will bing search anything highlighted for you. Cannot get that to work either.

I have this same issue and have done several hard resets in all the various ways. It didn't help. The live tiles were the obvious issue for me. When I remove the pictures hub and the Xbox tile everything flows smoothly. The quirky behavior comes back when I pin the live tiles.
Also, grouping live tiles close together exaggerates the issues. Tiles go blank when scrolling, the tick behavior becomes more frequent and more intense. My WPBench scores are really low too. Something is going on.

A couple things I've noticed since I forced the upgrade to Mango.
1. It's restarted by itself twice when I was trying to go into an app.
2. After the phone is powered on, sometimes all the tiles are all stuck in the theme color and non-responsive. It takes about a minute for the tiles to be functional.
I exchanged my phone just when Mango was release so I don't know if it's a hardware issue with my phone or software issue.

I have several friends with WP7 phones here and none of us experienced any of 1&2, except 1 for HD7, but that's a known issue. Seems like a hw issue.

Galaxy Note reboots at least twice a day

Its an amazing device. But it reboots twice a day. I am thinking the problem could be External SD card. 80% reboots happens when I connect my device using USB mode to transfer the music and videos
Does anyone experiencing it and does anyone has solution or work around?

Sometimes it cause by bad contact SIM card. Try clean the card's contact points or replace a new one if your SIM card is many years old.
Seems android phones will try fix the SIM lost contact problem by reboot the device.

It might be a damaged sd card too, it's weird that it happens in that right moment when you plug the usb, try with a different one and see

I have the same problem reboot every time I disconnect it from the pc

My note reboots aleatory from nothing and sometimes really freeze with the screen off and I need to remove the battery to restart :s
Any idea? I really dont want to go change it with a new one because I need to make some kilometers to change it. Was the possibility that it is just software problems and if I flash a new rom it become stable?
The Note come with one old rom (I dont know what rom) and it make some reboots but dont make so many like now. When I connect to a Wi-Fi it say that was a update (16 MB) and I make that update. Then the reboots come with more frequency and make that problem of freeze with the screen of. Today morning I make a Wipe to data and Cache (in Recovery 3e) and reset it. Now it dont freeze but make some FC with the most installed (from markt and Samsung Apps) and sometimes reset with no reason.
TY for any help.
Sorry for the bad english.
EDIT:
I see now. When it is charging(turned off), when it stay "off" (without I see how go the battery) a little time, it freeze. Could be that that's happen when is on and when go to stand-by and it freeze. Anyone know whats happen?

Double post. Delete pls.

hi i tried to do factory reset then reflashed everything still no go..any other solution pls

My phone restarts itself at night, is yours also behave like this?

I have a weird problem with my note 4. It restarts itself 2-3 times but only at night. It starts at about 3, 4 am and then every hour or so until 7 am. I hear the buzz on every restart. Also my gear fit connects and disconnects every time with a vibration buzz. It drives me nuts!
Do you have the same problem?
I already tried a factory reset, also disabled the automatic sync to the servers. Also formatted the SD card inside the phone and tried to remove it completely but the phone still restarted at night.
I went to the Samsung center- they sent it to the lab and the lab said that the phone does not have any problem at all- but they did not check it at night.
I'm on the latest firmware N910FXXU1ANJ4
Can you help me? What could be the problem? what can I do???

If it happens again...get a video recorder..record the event...show it to samsung..demand a replacement. My device had no problems what so ever when it was completely stock, or after rooting or when using custom rom.

That is so odd...! What if you tried to video record the phone restarting and show it to the service centre? Maybe with a timestamp so you can stitch together the restarts and demonstrate what happens every night.

I will do what you suggest . I will record the phone on video and show them what it does. This is not normal if I'm the only one who have that problem.

Hope you can exchange a new one
I dont have that problem

I will sue them. This is the only way. Because they are like wall. not possible to prove that you are right

I did a factory reset. Also removed the SD card and checked. It does the same thing.

On Friday I bought N910c in Poland. I'm having absolutely same problem as you. Factory reset didn't fix the issue (((
Googling for a soluton...

I don't think that there is a solution. There is something wrong with the phone because not all the units faulty. Tonight i will film the phone on video camera to prove it and sue the company. They refusing to refund my money because they claim that the phone does not have any problem.

I have got that issue, but it just turn off by itself while recharging at night

I'm having the same problem with my Moto X 2014. It reboots itself only at nights one or more times. I've trying everything without any success. Did you manage to fix yours?
Thanks!

Do you have any memory management software installed? Some of them kick in when phone is not used for longer time and maybe it deletes something what causes phone to reboot?

If it's only at night whilst charging, it could just be an overheat problem.
