[Q] Micro USB port stopped working on Xoom. Help! - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I went to plug my Xoom into the HD speaker dock and it wasent picking up my music it would only play through the speakers on the tablet. So i took it to my PC and it doesnt even detect a device. Please Help!!

Did you try a different cable/USB port etc? I do not know anything about the dock but don't those things use the dock port/connecter on the xoom and not usb? Sounds like two issues to me. But again I don't poop about the dock.

Yeah it also uses the USB port that's how it plays the music but it just won't pick anything up and even on the computer it acts like there is nothing plugged in...yeah I tried different cables but the same thing happens

Question about playing music from phone on car stereo?

Ok guys, I got a Sensation a few days ago and also bought a new Pioneer Deck DEH8300UB.
I tried connecting the USB to the front of the deck to play music, it charges the phone but the deck says error trying to read the phone. Is their something I need to do to get this to work without having to use the 3.5mm jack on the phone and deck?
I also got a stereo on my boat that has the same inputs and its doing the same thing on that, Id like to only use one cord is possible.
Thanks so much guys, you are always a GREAT help!!
I dont think its possible to do it like that but there is something you can try. Plug your phone into the computer and select USB mode then check the "never ask again" box at the bottom of the screen. That will be your best chance of getting it working. Dont get your hopes up though because I do not think that will work, but its worth a shot.
i usually just use aux cable works GREAT! BUT my sister has a sony xplode deck and i do use the usb so it is possible but the usb on radio decks are tricky do either number 1 or step #2(works for me) on her deck when i plug the usb into it and the phone it automatically goes to usb source on radio, the trick is to plug it in and then swith ur radio deck off of usb and back...yeah weird but it works for me, usually the plug and play method doesnt work cuz the deck wont read usb first time around:
1. plug it in wait till phone shows option and choose usb(check never ask again...though it asks anyway again?!?)
2. if that didnt work, plug in usb on radio deck then switch it(source button?) off usb and back to usb then from phone choose usb connection and never ask again...this does the trick on my sis usb deck everytime...my hd2 did same thing dont know why(i much prefer the aux)
I've been using the Belkin Air Cast unit - nice thing is that audio is bluetooth, so I don't have to keep connecting the 3.5mm jack - just plug in the AirCast, push a button when I get in the car, and presto - music, even if the phone is in my pocket.
Beautifully simple, and even handles hands-free calling duties. Love it.

Thanks so much guys.
I will try what you guys suggested. Hopefully it will work, my main concern is making sure its charging while playing music so I don't kill the battery, that I know works which is awesome, so just need to work out the usb part, I guess if that don't work I will look into the BT jobby or just use the 2 wires and just neatly electrical tape the wires together so it doesn't look like a birds nest!
Again thanks so much.
When you plug it in does the phone give you some options to choose from? If yes you have to mount sd card as mass storage for it to be accessible.

Samsung infuse USB to car not working

I just purchased a Samsung infuse and for the first time hooking up USB and selecting connect to PC didn't work (had other droids and they all worked fine). I don't have a problem connecting to my PC and.it failed with both stock FW and infused 2.0. my car is the Chevy cruze and just to confirm it's not the USB I hooked up my streak and it worked instantly. Any idea how to fix this?

Try this: Settings> applications> development> uncheck USB debugging.
I tried it with both debug on and off and was different cables and no luck. the phone detects the connection but the car does not

I am assuming you are taking about interfacing your infuse with your in car stereo system, correct? Not sure if you were maybe referring to simply charging.
I have had the same issue as you, my in car dvd system will recognize damn near anything I plug into it, besides my infuse. It won't even recognize it as a mass storage device. Haven't figured out a work around yet, perhaps someone will come along with a solution.

That's the exact problem important having. i tried my sister's evo and that worked instantly as well. frustrating as hell.

Yea, kinda sucks, pretty much the only thing my iphone 4 does better than this phone, I could listen to music, watch movies saved on the device and stream netflix to sol the screens in my car. Hopefully I can figure it out soon, its not a dealbreaker, but it would be nice.
Other than this issue, I absolutely love this phone, plus we have some awesome devs doing fantastic work

Samsung Infuse works in car when connected via USB
Hi Guys,
I also got Samsung Infuse recently, and i also had the same problem, mp3 player does not work when connected to car via USB.
Now i found a solution for that problem. Please follow the steps below,
Settings -- > Applicaitons --> USB Settings -- > Development -- Uncheck the Debugging Option
Now switch off your car stereo, connect your phone to the car via USB, and select
'Mass Storage' option when prompted.
Once it is connected, now switch on the car stereo, and it should play the music.
i tried the above steps and playing music in the car via USB.

Recently I order a brand new MediaBridge HDMI cable from Amazon from a friend for use in India in a sealed box & it did not work when I attached it to the phone & my Dell laptop. What could be the reason? Is there any symbol supposed to pop up on the phone or the laptop & on hindsight I just got thinking (gave the cable back now) in case if no symbol is supposed to pop up would directly playing a video on the phone while the hdmi cable is attached make it play on the laptop??
Don't want to be a smartass or anything but I hope you're selecting HDMI as the Source on your TV.
As I mentioned I tried on my Dell laptop running Win 7....is there anything specific I needed to do besides just connecting either ends between the phone & the laptop to get the HDMI working?

I'm sure it the HDMI Micro to HDMI connection from phome to laptop will not work. Laptop HDMI should only be an output, not an input. It will work from phone to a monitor or tv. Once connected you will be prompted to make a choice on the A2 for a display mode.
I bought a Dynex cable from BB that works fine with the Atrix 2 when connected to a monitor or tv.

Thanks. Yes you are right it is a micro hdmi (phone) to regular HDMI port on the Laptop. DAYMN..they should specify to unsuspecting users like me. IMHO many people would not be aware about this.

TV out cable 3.5mm jack. not working

ok, i bought this cable and it didn't work, the audio is working but the video doesn't it's messed up, and when i open some application, it will completely stop on working. here's the pictures of it.:
This what happens on the TV
This is the cable
Back part of the cable's box
so how do i do with this problem? or it's not a working version for my SGS i9000?
i am having the same problem, tv out not working i am on slim ics 3.2 with stock kernel.. i checked my cable is fine (i checked it on other vibrant and tv out was working) but not in my i9000 any solution?
Idk. I'm on slim 3.1 and semaphore 1.0.0sbm. Check the first picture link if the problem is just like yours.

The device didn't act weird, only the messed up screen on tv. Our tv is 32" flat screen philips. Xbox and other gadgets works fine.. I'll try it on other tv later.

Is the sound weird too? Try swithing PAL and NTSC modes. Try swithing one of the audio cables (red, white) with the video (yellow) cable.
Are you sure TV out works on slim ICS? If you wanted to be sure you could try flashing a stock rom, (not sure if any ICS rom supports it)
got exactly the same problem with exactly the same cable and 100% the same outcome. im on slim 3.3 with semaphore 1.0s
had the same problem way back with 2.3.x with darkyrom.. didnt care then but i do care now.. so how to solve this ^^
I tried it with other tv. With non flat screen, also philips brand. Doesn't also work the sound is just working but not the video, sound is not that good compare to phone itself and or speaker. I will try to change rom, I'll go back to stock, but i care about my temple run data. Because when i backed it up, and then came ics.. i restore app+data but the game was restarted. :/
I tried switching the red yellow and white cable. Doesn't work either. On slim ics, the tv out was option to enable/disable was working correctly but not on the tv itself. It could detect when the cable is plugged in. That was on galaxy s settings app on ics.

When I tried using a cable made for camcorders with my phone I got a similar
result.
My best guess is that the camcorder cables have a slightly different connector than the ones used with smart-phones, probably because the phone's video and audio jack is the same so it has to work a little differently.
I did manage to get it working though, by pulling the connector slowly out of the phone's jack and wiggling it a bit I got a clear picture, but doing so you lose one of the audio channels.
Good luck!
i made it work. you can either order the original samsung cable (not a camcorder one but the phone one) or i heard the Nokia CA-75U works too. the nokia one is about 2€ here where the samsung is 10€..
but fml, it works.
Has the cable ever worked to your knowledge? Have you ever used a different one?
I got one of these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370496876842?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
and it works on CM9, AOKP, CM7 (basically all the ROMs I have flashed)
I got the same results as the OP when I first tried to do TV out but that was with a cable I already owned that came with a camcorder...
Bottom line is it will only work with a cable that is wired for the SGS (like the one I've linked to)
TV Out Not working Galaxy I9000M

Make sure your ROM supports TV out.

Hello,

[Q] P6800 7.7 NO USB audio PLEASE HELP !!!

Hi.I'm new in Android world.
I work on my car stereo project and it's in the middle and I stock with usb-audio out issue.
I have a Samsung tab 10.1 from local AT&T store and P6800 7.7(int.ver.) that I just bought to use as a head-unit in car.
When I connect 10.1 tab to DAC the power lights comes on, on DAC and HUB and it gives me audio out of USB (30pin) .
When I connect P6800 to DAC the power lights comes on, on DAC and HUB but i'm getting message warning "high power USB device connected... cannot access this device." and sound goes to internal speaker.but USB-HUB powered by external power supply.
Restarting with connected or disconnected HUB makes no difference,same result no sound via USB.
The 10.1 already came with ICS4.0.3 and 7.7 I updated via Kies to ICS4.0.4 and both support USB-Host.
I'm using 30pin -->USB-HUB OTG kit --> Behringer U-CONTROL UCA202 DAC.
Question is WTF is wrong?
Should I flash 7.7 to ICS4.1 or any other custom ROM?
Anyone ???
Thanks
Can u charge 10.1 with pc? In settings, go to dock option and check it, you must use the original dock, 3rd party accessories are no guarantee to work. Try flash custom roms but i doubt they will also cause ppl hardly succede with hdmi let alone dock sound, plus atm they still have problem with stable roms :|
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for reply.
Yes it can charge from PC, even if it's says "Discharging" it's actually charging but slow.
Also I just tried to connect already powered HUB to 7.7 and it's doesn't give me warning about " Hi-power usb connected but can't access " anymore,
it looks like exact like it would 10.1 connected with green lights on DAC and HUB but sound plays internally no mater if dock opt. checked or unchecked .
I assume 4.0.3 vs 4.0.4 does not related to that issue as well as 3rd party accessories since it's works with 10.1.
Flashing custom ROM and loose some features is doesn't sounds right too.
Well they are 2 different devices, you cant say that. The softwares are different. I noticed you use the word hub. Try connect directly to the tab, and try different accessories. Its hard to compare different devices even though they share similarities. Perhaps compare 2 7.7 is better.
Or youcan send me the tab and i can have a look at it. Mine works perfectly
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda app-developers app
What accessories do you use to connect your 7.7 to DAC?
I mean HUB or otg cable?
By the way usb flash drives and memory cards works fine with 7.7 via that usb HUB. I'll buy otg cable to see if it get me audio out.
Here is the HUB

Nope this rubbish won't work. Haizz. Wasted time with you when you insist on your mistakes. Hubs won't work ever. From 2.0 speed you get down to 1.1
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda app-developers app
OK I got this OEM Samsung USB Connection Kit direct to DAC. DAC light is on,"USB connector connected" came up but same result.Only internal plays.
OK I GOT AUDIO OUT with "rubbish" usb-hub mentioning above but only when I use "USB AUDIO RECORDER PRO" app. So it's not hardware issue it's on software level.
How to make it happen with other apps without flashing? I need to make it work with any internet radio apps.
Ok it was purely luck. Otg are purely for connecting external devices to your tabs. It is not meant for connect your tabs to other devices. When you connect it to the PC you can see that it require driver for Samsung for the PC to recognize it. This tag does not have mass storage mode, it only has mtp and ptp mode. So the proper way for it to function as media storage is to connect it to the PC, or having a media player can function as the PC would, but I doubt there is such available. Maybe you cab try Ubuntu embedded? Again I don't recommend such measure. It is getting too complicated.
Or you can also build a media player with driver speicifically working with this tabs to specifically pick out the audio output from the USB
Or you can use the original dock and connect the audio route. It is much simpler
Or you can switch to apple devices, they are popular and get supported well.
And you can send the tab to me
Sorry buddy, you ran out of luck
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda app-developers app
"build a media player with driver" OR "use the original dock" are not the options, and apple is not even under consideration.
Actually I do use original dock ,but it does not provide the options to get data of USB, it's for charging purposes only.
So I just removed that 30-pin connector and used one from USB-hub.
The only question is to find player that capable to send sound to USB.
ANYONE PLEASE?
God with this Guy. With the dock not only you get sound output but also HDMI. go snd buy the original one
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda app-developers app
The original vehicle mounting dock has sliding 30pin to round connector adapter only and cable with usb to that connector is included.
so what hdmi you talking about? Unless you talking about different dock but I'm talking about this to be able to use it in car
No the stand dock on table, the car holder are just for holding and charging, if you want you can stick the desktop dock on car surface, or connect the car dock to the stand dock
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda app-developers app
Yes I can but it does not give me USB-audio out anyway.
It's a driver issue.I can flash to custom ROM but still did not confirmed what ROM support USB-audio.
