I have a Samsun Galaxy S2 SPH-d710 running ICS 4.0.4 and I cant seem to find out whether the problem is the usb port, or the software?
Problems:
Android OS is running at 33%+
Battery drains fast at times, and charges slow.
If I move the usb cord a tiny bit, the charging stops and starts, repeatedly.
My PC cant find the device.
What I did to try to fix it:
Deleted all irrelevant apps
Factory reset the device
Moved the little pin in the USB port up towards the screen
After I tried all of this, the device was fine but the charging still was bad, I still get bad connection within the usb port (when i wiggle the cable it connects briefly or doesnt connect at all)
I called and explained the question to a cell phone repair shop and they said it sounded like a port problem and could be fixed within an hour and charged $55. Good or bad deal? I see higher rates elsewhere.

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...
I have had a UK SII since launch (originally on O2) but rooted and now using CM9.
Ive noticed recently that my charger needed to be wiggled a bit in the port for the phone to start charging.
Now it seems to have gotten worse and now i have to have the plug tilted in the usb port at a certain angle and apply pressure to it for it to start charging. Ive tested with 4 different leads. Connected to my laptop and phone keeps on flicking to usb debugging message so i am presuming the connections in the usb port are faulty.
Ive also cleaned a load of fluff out from it and its still the same.
The phone is just under a year old... so im hoping its covered for a 2 year cover like my old Sony Erricson phone.
Do you think they will repair this fault or make me pay due to excessive wear n tear?
I charge once a day over night, and dont use the port for much else apart from probably undre 20times connected to laptop.
Thanks
did you try the cable with something else than your phone? It looks like it's probably some broken part of the cable inside, but try anyway.
If it works fine with everything else it's your phone, if doesn't work with other things it's the cable and i'm not sure if they would replace it, because it could be your fault if it's the cable.

As I described above... i have tested the phone with 4 different usb cables/chargers.
As already said in the name of the topic, my usb cable is having a malfunction, .. good, to be exact does not work the same in both the pc as the outlet with the charger, it will really become a headache, good .. and I'm honestly just thinking of buying just another good, I put my tablet to carry around yesterday of 02: am, I took it 09: am and then when I took no longer worked at the least the battery charged 100%
can anyone help me somehow?
You mean that your USB cable will charge your tab, but it will not connect to the PC?
Posted from my Galaxy Tab 2 with CM10.1
Friend, it is not working even with the charger or the pc, do not receive any kind of load .. :\
Sorry, I'm having a little bit of trouble understanding you. So your tablet will neither charge nor connect to your pc?

Hello,
I recently flashed TWRP and CyanogenMod 13 on my Mi4. It was working quite well, I had some problems with the rotation sensor and some bugs in the software, but Quick Charge and also the Connection to the PC worked without problems.
Today when I was on my way home I was charging my Mi4 with a Qalcomm 2.0 Quick Charge Powerbank from Aukey (i have used it in the past on other phones, always worked great), but it seems that the USB cable was broken, it was charging very slowly and it also seemed to have a defective contact (the cable charged if i moved it around a bit, but in certain positions it wouldn't charge).
However, when i got home and plugged it in, I noticed that the phone also charged very slowly with the charger, so I thought that I would just flash MIUI back on the device to fix it, maybe it was a problem with Cyanogenmod. But that didn't work at all, the phone couldn't connect to the pc.
So, here's my problem: The PC can't detect the phone and it also seems, that the phone doesn't recognize, that its connected to a pc. Charging via the USB ist still working, but very slow. Also Quick Charging isn't working, it doesn't matter which charger or cable I use, it's always slow. When I connect the phone to the charger or the PC it takes like 5 seconds to recognize, that a cable is connected, then it starts (slow) charging.
The phone doesn't show up in the windows device manager at all (there are no unkown devices shown, the pc just doesn't react when you connect the phone). Also there is no message on the phone when you connect it (usually you can choose if you want the use your phone as a usb drive or just charge it). I also tried to activate MTP in the developer settings on the phone and turning USB Debugging On/Off, but it didn't help.
I managed to download a MIUI Rom from xiaomi.eu with the phone and installed it with TWRP, but it didn't help. So I think I actually broke the USB Port of my phone with a defective Micro USB Cable. The phone can still charge (very very slowly, no quick charge possible), but I can't connect it to the PC anymore. The pc also won't detect the phone when it's in fastboot mode.
I tried to look it up on the internet, but all I found were people with driver problems, and I don't think that I have a driver problem, because it seems like there is no connection between PC and Phone besides the charging.
Anyone knows something about this? Is it even possible to just break the data connection and the quick charging with a defective cable?
Hey, did you get your Mi working? I have a similar experience with mine.
Same Problem
hey i got the same problem did you find any solution ?

No, I didn't find a solution for the problem. Phone is still not working, I even ordered a new charging port, but I made a mistake and ordered one for the LTE version. I have the 3g version, so the new charging port didn't even work with my phone. I don't want to spend any more money on it, so I just gave up on fixing it.
Same problem, and I am also stucked in recovery for now, never will buy phone without SdCard now...
Somobody found solution?
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!
