I have a sprint touch pro 2 and the USB port used for connecting and charging the device is broken. every time i connect the a cord to my phone the charging led pops up but does not actually connect the device to the pc nor charge it. The port was weak when i got it and had to be angled in order for it to charge. I just wanted to know if a usb repair is easy and if there is a difference in the port in terms of using anyone for any device in it. If not can some one tell me if i have to use a 11pin or different. If you do not recommend me doing it can you direct me to a legitimate service that fixes devices like these.
Thank you for all your help in advance.
Hello suddenly my nexus s stopped connecting with data with the pc it only charges, tried with 3 diffrent computers with diffrent os , no menu popping on nexus and nothing connected on the computer(like i didnt connect anything), i removed the battery left it for some time installed stock rom still nothing.It was acting normally for a second and the other it stopped any help appreciated!
Are you sure you're using the cable that came with the phone? I have an LG Wink featurephone here that uses the same connector at the phone end -- its cable will charge my Nexus S (using the computer, obviously, but also when used with either the LG or Samsung charger) but no USB connection happens when I use it. Only the cable that came with my Nexus S provides a USB connection when I connect to the computer. I guess there are pinout differences between the two cables.
If you're sure you're using the right cable, I would guess that it's gone bad if it doesn't work on any computer. You can buy an (overpriced) replacement from Samsung or maybe a cheaper one on eBay or at a retail store. If the latter, be sure the seller lists it as compatible with the Nexus S.
it happened with the original cable ppfff i dont know...
same problem

Hi
I have the same problem
I have no idea what the problem could be.
We are not alone with this problem: code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13553
Now installed stock rom as well but still the same problem.
If i starting the NS in the bootloader mode the phone is not recognized by the computer.
It would be great, if someone knows a solution!

I've been trying to get help with this for weeks. No one is even responding to my posts. I thought it was something OBSURDLY simple, such that people didn't even want to waste their time responding to me.
Seeing same problem, No connetion via USB
Posted problem in General,, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104245
Tried different cords, different computers and operating systems,, did cold start several times on phone (removed battery) still no luck, I am running totally stock
Curious do any of you have the Google Music Beta?? (maybe a over zealous rights thing?)
just tried it with a Win 7 machine that had never seen it before and it said it could not recognize the device,, me thinks that the MS device driver DB is messed up buy some recent Win update??
i sent it to samsung to change my usb slot because after connecting to pc and nothing happen when i went to charge the phone it took 5 hours to get to 30% so iam almost sure that mini usb slot malfunctions

My phone charges just fine. And my USB connectivity was fine until I manually installed 2.3.4.
~I had usb connection problems after upgrade to 2.3.4 a bit different but I managed to get the USB back by formatting the SD card.

I was on 2.3.3 when this happened, i tried to flash 2.3.4 then and again it didnt work but the strange thing is that when i was moving the mini usb the first times up and down it was shown for a moment as a broken usb device.Then this stopped and was not shown at all on the computer and finally the phone charged super slow when connected to electricity
Beginning to believe that it is a physical prob with USB connector on phone. It seems to start/stop charging when wiggling usb on phone but no mounting. Doe anyone know best way to resolve , T-mobile but bought from Best Buy? so to Best Buy? FOR SUPPORT /EXCHANGE? suggestions?
I've seen loose connections before. My suggestion ain't the cheapest but the plug, on the cable end, shouldn't wiggle. I went to a corporate sprint store, the ones that actually have working display phones, and got their usb to micro usb data cable. The thing with that cable is when you plug it in the phone side, it goes into the jack firmly. You can almost feel the little locking tabs click into place. There should be no play or wiggle with that cable as long as there's no damage or abuse with the jack on the phone. IMO, that's a good data cable. It's never given me problems before.
Also, sometimes the cable is only wired for charging. A true data cable will be wired correctly and be able to both charge and transfer data. Usually the cables that come with the phone are crap quality. I don't know if my suggestion will help but it won't hurt to have a good cable for data transfer and flashing. The last thing you want is a flaky connection from a cheap cable when you're flashing roms. Russian roulette with bricking a phone in a worse case situation.
Did you try reboot the computer and the phone? How about a different usb port? How about unplug any other usb device in case it's conflicting for some unknown reason? It sounds like so many people with windows 7 are having problems. Usually always happens with a new os that's released. Xp, for flashing devices and programming different hardware devices, has never given of a problem. I have a small partition with xp on it just for that purpose only.
off to Samsung for repair for me...
After time on phone with them and a factory reset belief is that the usb connector is defective. BTW Best Buy just hands off to Samsung 1-800 #
So Back to a barely functional G-1 for a while, glad I could find it!
So is Samsung or the carriers replacing or fixing units?
My USB data died shortly after 2.3.4 ota update.
Wifi FTP is fine for data transfer but I want USB debug to work...
Shame on google and Samsung, this bug has been around for months.
no shame on anyone...
I went through a factory reset with Samsung on phone that isolated the problem to what is apparently a loose usb connector, nothing to do with software... only hassle is sending it in for repair, as` mentioned problem needs to be dealt with Samsung customer service (not carrier or Best Buy), they were fine on phone...
Hi every body, I have some trouble with my inspire 4g, he don't wont to be charged. when I plug-in the micro usb cable or charger the red light don't work and the battery status is discharging, and when i pluggued it in my laptop, he ask me if i wont to acced to the sd card, but he dont wont to be charged, i dont know how i do and what's the problem, i tried other usb cables, but no result, i have to manipulate the cable or the charger to make the red light work and the i have to make the cable in a special position. I don't know if it's a hardware problem, because i can read the sd card when i connect my phone in the laptop. Who can help me please.
i had the same issue with my cable while back. I had to switch to differnt cable. It started working for me, since then i have not been able to use my original htc cable that came with phone.
Hey everyone,
Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
My S6 will now no longer charge in the house, Unless im charging it wireless. I have a cigarete charger in the car that has two connections, 1.0A and 2.1A Plugging it into the 1.0 side does nothing but plugging it into the 2.1 side charges straight away, I have Ipad and Iphone chargers aswell and nothing charges it in the house.
Also if I try connect it to my computer I get the following " Unknown USB Device Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
A request for the USB device descriptor failed.
Can anyone help me please... Its still covered under warranty by samsung till December this year so if I cant resolve it I might try contacting them.
Actually how would I even go about doing that? I live in Ireland by the way.
Thanks
Peace Out lol

have you tried a different cable? And maybe your USB port is somehow broken
I have indeed, tried different cables and different computers.
Sounds like it could possibly be be the port on the phone itself. Only way to tell is to do a factory reset and see if the problem still exists, if it does seeing as it under warranty, If the phone is still under contract call your network provider otherwise you will most likely have to call samsung UK and see which way to go about getting it looked at
Try switching it off and charging? Before resetting.
Mostly a hardware issue, and hopefully a connector issue.
Thanks guys,
I have tried everything that has been suggested, I suppose I will ring Samsung and see what they say.
Try to clean the usb port
It could be dust that prevents a good contact to charge the phone properly
I saved a few phones to be trashed by just cleaning the usb port
Maybe that helps you!
Have a nice day!
To start off my USB port seems to be malfunctioning. I can charge but will always get the " charging slow" error. It will even charge via usb port on a pc but it will not recognize it as an external Storage unit. Ive changed the usb settings via developer settings. However i do not get a usb notification on my phone giving me the option to switch the function.
Is there a way to connect to a PC to use flashing tools/ADB in order to unlock my loader as well as flash and send commands to my phone. I can use LG AirDrive but i do not believe commands can be sent through that. Would greatly appreciate help since im lead to believe rooting has just hit for the Stylo 4.
If it is any importance. I am on the stylo 4 bought through best buy not attached to any carrier Q710ULM is my model number
Did you try another USB cable? Ive had several that broken inside and the same happened. Changing USB cable solved it
Ive tried several. It is definetly my USB port. I think dollar store chargers did it in. And now since its always slowly charging i think it won't do any data transfer maybe in fear of loss of data due to bad connection?

Yours is a micro USB port right? Most likely it's a faulty USB port. See if you can get a store to replace it
Yes. Well a Type C but android charger none the less. I guess id have to send to LG to honor the warranty. I didnt purchase ot from a carrier and also did not get aj insurance plan when i connected it to t mobile.
In other words you are saying im SOL for getting on ADB? Atleast until a one click root has a method for this device.
Just to test. Did you test in another computer to see if it is detects it?
My computer corrupted the adb connection due to faulty drivers. Reinstalling windows fixed it because in another computer that i have it was detected normally. It's just to test the whole scenario here. If it doesn't work RMA it to LG
Yes I tested it on a computer as well as multiple outlets. I finally just took the back off and took out the port. It had a lot of corrosion around it. Almost all teal colored. I blame those dollar store chargers. I have no other explanation behind why it happened. Either way there is luckily someone wihtin range selling a bunch of parts on offerup so I was able to pick uo a new port for 7 dollars off of him. When I removed the back I was pretty surprised to see how the "non-removable" batteries are packages in there. Just a bunch of layers wrapped up in thin plastic with some tape around it. haha
