Hello,
Today I have received new korean version of LG Optimus G and I immediately notice one problem. When I connect phone to PC via USB touchscreen stop to respond. The phone is not frozen, I can see that it's charging, the clock is working, hard buttons like VOL+ and VOL- and power button also works but touchscreen is unresponsive. This only happens when connected on PC or laptop via USB. Everything works when charging with wall charger. I've tried different cables, also on my PC and laptot, and always the same. Touchscreen doesn't work while connected to PC. When I unplug cable everything works well. I would like to emphasize that this is my third korean Optimus G. Never got this kind of problems with previous two.
Any solution or suggestion?

Anyone?
Also would HTC Desire charger work with it? (the sticks looks same - microUSB, but looks like the phone is not charging)
Also if the phone is dead, is there any way i can check if the battery/screen or whatever else is faulty?
When i connect it under Windows with USB cable, it says that the device cannot be recognized and the drivers cannot be installed.
When connected with USB, i did hold the power button to turn it on but it doesnt start and the phone keeps vibrating continuusly.
Look on the back, or inside, even under battery, for more information.
I already know it's Samsung Galaxy Mini II, homever i have issues turning it on.
All microusb chargers are the same except for amperage. Try all you have. This phone is probably terminally damaged, but try a new battery if possible.
It's really strange (the phone was little wet) homever, sometimes it's starting just fine and sometimes wont turn on at all.
I have removed battery and put it to the bowl with a rice for a night and will see if that helps.
My "dampness" recovery is to disassemble and put phone/tab/laptop in in very low oven ie 125-135 degrees F for several hours. You may have ti turn oven on & off manually to get that low temperature. Your mileage may vary.
OK so basically the phone is in following state:
It's charging fine, homever the biggest problem atm is i cannot get the usb mass storage to work.
I'm connecting it to the PC and the phone is detecting it as AC charger not USB - PC is not even trying to install any drivers.
PC is not detecting the phone at all (phone is detecting that its being connected, the button backlights are lighting up)
I got no dropdown in the phone to select charging, mass storage etc. (when i do it in settings/communication/usb settings it keeps saying to connect the usb cable, but the phone is charging so its connected just fine)
When i was connecting it for the first time windows tried to install drivers but failed, also it was constantly disconnecting the phone from usb cable (now its fine it seems)
When i connect it using "Kies Air" it's working homever i still dont see the SD Card in "My Computer" for example.
What a mess, anyway any idea how to get the USB working again?
Try different cable, and/or different PC.
I ordered new usb cable, homever i doubt it's the problem as the phone is recognizing connection and also it's charging fine.

The USB ports on a notebook are powered only when the machine is turned on.

connect to PC if you want charging even if your PC is powered off.
Some modern laptops have an 'always on' USB port which takes power from the battery when the laptop is off. Unless your laptop supports this then the USB ports will be simply switched off when the laptop is switched off.
Chceck your bios for USB powering options
Im sorry, this is not up the usb, not up the laptop, its depends from the phone:
I have an xperia, same behaviour, but if when the pc was off i unplug the phone e reconnect the phone start recharging, with the moto g no, wont recharge until i power up the laptop. but with a galaxy s2 i have the phone keeps recharging, always, if i power off the pc the phone keeps recharging, i dont need to disconnect or reconnect the cable, same laptop for all three phones
i have all the phones here now with the laptop ive rechecked it out now, that's it
So why the moto g wont recharge and the samsung do?
What happens if you change the USB connection mode?
Settings > Storage > USB computer connection​
Charge from a power point, you'll find it's like 100000000000000000000000000000 times faster.

nothin, actually with the samsung i was mtp anyway with moto g also changin to ptp keep stop chargin when power off the pc
this is terrible because usually i keep my phone close to me, with the computer, connected to it, and it recharge slowly, so i usually leave it when im going to sleep connected and the day after i found it totally recharged, i have no close socket, so with this issue i have to disconnect the phone go to a socket and connect the phone, and the day after disconnect and from the socket go to the computer and plug to the pc, everytime, instead just leave connected to the pc
all this why?
I will tell the whole history just in case, it might be relevant.
It started with battery problems, it was charging at a very slow rate (4-5 hours) and it was lasting 1 hour top. The camera was the cuplrit, it wasn't working at all and by disabling the camera app the phone worked fine for a week.
Suddenly stopped charging now.
When the phone is on it doesn't recognize the charger not even the computer, no bottom led. The computer doesn't recognize the phone either.
When the phone is off, if i connect the charger, the bottom led turns red for a second, SONY logo appears, battery appears for another second and reboots... infinitely.
I thought that the USB connector was the problem but i can connect it to my laptop in fastboot mode and flashmode, the phone is recognized in both modes, i even "repaired" the phone with Sony PC Companion and i'm having the same problems like before: no camera and no charging.
I don't think it is a firmware problem, i've re-flashed two stock firmwares from XPERIA Firmware website and no success.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Dude I have the exact same problem. Would like to find out a solution
Could be a hardware problem.
charging problem

i used power bank to charge my phone,Suddenly stopped charging now.
When the phone is on it doesn't recognize the charger not even the computer, no bottom led. The computer doesn't recognize the phone either.
It is charging properly with power bank always but not with charger and computer with usb. if i connect the charger, the bottom led turns red for a second, SONY logo appears, battery appears for another second and reboots... infinitely.
I thought that the USB connector was the problem but i can connect it to my laptop in fastboot mode and flash mode, the phone is recognized in both modes, i even "repaired" the phone with Sony PC Companion and i'm facing the same problem still.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Facing Same Problem, I have even change the New Port for charging.. but after 2-3 weeks as usual.. slow like Hell...
Help US
My phone only shows the the elephone 2 e sign when I turn it on. I have tried pressing the on and volume key when I turn it on but nothing happened. I have followed some instructions on the elephone manufacturer site about installing drivers to my computer and then trying to reinstall the firmware. Unfortunately my computers (I have tried on three different ones) does not identify that a device is connected to the computer. Therefore I can't proceed to install the driver as according to my computer it is not installed. I have tried 2 different leads as well. I would be grateful for some help as I have no idea where to go from here.
Facing a similar issue, and since there's still no reply to this thread, I would like to add up a few findings I have on this matter to maybe help others and get helped.
My P3000S is also reaching the Elephone logo and displays it for a minute and then restarts, repeating the process (aka boot-loop).
The same happens whether it is connected or not connected to the charger/computer through a USB cable. (I've tried new cables but that's not the case).
When disconnected I can stop the boot-loop only by holding down the on/off button for a few seconds (or removing the battery of course).
When connected to the the charger or computer through the USB cable I have no way to stop the boot-loop (holding down on/off just restarts it).
Now with the battery removed..:
If I connect it to the charger/computer, though the charging red light turns on normally, I can't turn on the phone using the on/off button.
However, when connected through USB to a windows computer, I can see in the device manager that, right when I connect the phone it shows up as "Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port" under COM ports group, for 1 second and then disappears as if it was disconnected. There's no repetition here I have to manually hold down the on/off button or disconnect and reconnect the phone from the cable to cause this to happen again.
So, I am unable to flash anything nor turn the phone on because I practically only have 1 second of its presence in my devices list.
Also, I have tried all possible combinations with the volume up/down keys and the on/off button in order to enter recovery mode, with no success..
In case anyone has faced something similar or has any ideas on a possible fix on this phone please feel free to reply.
At last a reply to my initial message. Unfortunately it was someone with the same problem as me. I took out a paypal case against the person I bought the phone from and eventually they repaired it. Unfortunately they never told me how. To make matters worse it broke again within 2 months. The phone is now sat in a draw doing nothing. I have given up on it and will never buy another Elephone phone again.
Hello XDA Members.
As the title says, the flex cable for the entire right side of the phone is broken (meaning no FP sensor, power, vol +/-, or shutter buttons). The phone ran out of battery and turned off. Is there a way to turn the phone on without the buttons? (maybe by disconnecting the battery while charging, similar to older models?)
ADB is not detecting the phone, USB Debug was probably not enabled
I'm looking for a replacement flex cable, but they're very difficult to find as this model wasn't sold officially in my country. Can't order online either sadly (3rd world country)
Solved.
Here's how for future reference if someone encounters a similar issue.
1. Disconnect battery and reconnect it
2. Download and install Xperia Companion Tool from Sony (tested on Mac, but the Windows version should work as well)
3. Choose Repair Software/Xperia on the Companion tool
4. Connect phone to computer using a USB cable
5. Disconnect phone when the Xperia splashscreen appears.
Done.
EDIT: Nope, phone froze and tried this, didn't work again.
