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.
Online I've seen people using a USB OTG cable on the Samsung Galaxy S6 but when I try to do so on a Verizon model it does not respond to keyboard or mouse input.
Has anyone else tried to use USB OTG?
I used my OTG cable to hook my verizon s6 to my external hard drive last week. Everything worked fine. Check your language and input setting maybe?
Well the problem is that there is no response at all. For example when I connect the mouse to another phone via the cable the mouse light turns on, connecting it to the S6 does nothing.
Are you on 6.0.1 as well?
I am currently on 6.0.1. The other thing to check would be the usb options in the notification area when you plug it in, if that shows up.
That's what I'm hoping for as well but nothing shows up, very odd.
Have you tried using your OTG cable on another device? Or using another peripheral? Do you plug in your device to charge it? I'm just trying to think of all the possible things that could be awry.
Well so it worked fine on a Moto G and X and I had only tried a keyboard and a mouse. I've now tried a USB stick and it suddenly works on my Galaxy S6 as well. Keyboard and mouse now suddenly work as wel... I'm starting to think it must have been a loose connection due to my phone case or something cus I can not think of any other explanation as to why it suddenly started working. Regardless, thanks for your help!
So I've had my S7 for around two months now, and all of a sudden fast charging just stopped working. Thought, oh, must be using the wrong cable (have loads of them micro USB cables floating around)
Now I'm certain I'm using the official Samsung fast charge plug and cable that came with the phone, and still no fast charge. When I try to plug into my Windows 10 Desktop or Laptop I have a message that says the device can't be recognized
Phone has already been rooted and flashed with a custom rom. Didn't think that was the issue as it wouldn't even show the mounted storage in TWRP, or identify the phone in ODIN.
Now I've flashed back to the stock rom that I made a backup of when I had the phone, and I still have the same problem!! Can't access internal / external storage using the supplied USB cable and can't fast charge.
I'm thinking the USB port on the device is just knackard.. but really, I've looked after it so well I fail to see how this could happen, unless it's a common fault.
Might just get a wireless fast charger, but do you guys have anything else I can try before giving up on the USB connectivity?
Cheers
try to connect to a different pc, if same it means your usb connector is faulty
Sounds more like the cable is bad tbh, you won't get fast charge from a PC USB port, only from the Samsung charger
But if the device isn't recognised by the PC, and won't fast charge from the charger, the common thing between them is the cable
Possible it's the phone USB port, but more likely the cable is bad
Afaik certain cables can not fast charge either, so chances are the ones you have lying around that are not the official cable can not support it
Genuine Samsung USB cable is white with the USB port symbol on both ends and the phone end has two small ridges to grip when inserting and removing it, should help identify it
Yep I'm using the official cable and fast charger
I'm trying to fast charge via the fast charger and not USB. Only trying USB to access the internal / external storage.
Tried on my desktop and laptop and both have the same issue where my old HTC m8 connects without any issue.

To fast charge I've tried the original Samsung cable with the fast charge plug.
To connect to the PC I've used x3 different cables that all work with my HTC one m8. With all of them I get device not recognised. Already tried installing Samsung switch and reinstalling drivers which didn't work.

I mean for the HTC, does the Samsung fast charge cable work to connect to the PC?
Does sound possible the phones USB port is faulty if you can't get any connection at all to the PC with multiple cables
Try changing the USB mode in developer options
Networking > Select USB configuration

Yep the genuine Samsung cable works when connecting the htc to the computer.
I've tried enabling USB debugging and switching between charging, MTP, PTP, RNDIS, Audio Source and Midi.. all of them come back with the windows popup

Unfortunately it is starting to sound like the phone is at fault
Still under warranty? (KNOX 0x0)

Unfortunately not. Well it's been rooted and flashed so I guess not.
Ordered a wireless fast charger so hopefully that will see me through and WiFi network for file transfers.
I reckon the USB port will need replacing but I'm not really inclined to do that myself.
Just noticed you said you flashed back to stock using a backup you made
Have you tried stock using ODIN and 100% stock files, using CSC to reset?
My dad has a5 2016 with the same issue, and no warranty. I bought flex + connector , replaced it and still nothing. No fast charge ( it takes cca 4hrs to charge it fully ) and no usb connectivity. I gave up on that
@ClowsTyle
Any luck? I seen your recent post in another thread and it sounds like you tried to replace the USB but that didn't work.
I'm having the exact same issue now. Device suddenly stopped fast charging, Windows does not recognize it when plugged into PC. I ordered a new cable to double check and also tried on different computers. I also tried reinstalling drivers, but nothing has worked.
Hi my is doing the same thing no Fast charge and no pc connection, did anybody find out what happen with yours ?
You have to change power ic s535 for s7 edge.
When usb gets moisture power ic will damage.
I have same problem my phone charging 0-100 6hours but ı install notorious kernel and it takes 3 hours it is better than 6 hours
Same Issue
I've had the same issue for the past 3 weeks now and I've tried everything I know...
1. Tested cable and charger with another S7 and they work fine.
2. Factory Reset.
3. Changed the USB port chip.
4. Turned on "Low Battery Dump".
So far, the issue hasn't changed.
was this issue solved?
I´m having same issues whit my galaxy s7 active, I can not fast charge my phone no matter what cable I use, then noticed that evrytime I plug it to any computer it says the devicescan not be recognized, I´m about to buy a new charging port and install it, but I want to make shure this is not a software related issue.
I´ve tried several cables and several laptops/ pc´s
I´ve factory reseted my device and turned on low battery dump, wiped cache partition, and problem still there...
The charger could be faulty/damaged did you try a different charger?

I tried a different USB and nothing works and different ports on my comp.

How do I fix my otg issue? It connects but says charging connected device. Even with a ps4 controller at 100%. When I go to tick the option to switch it acts like it does then it goes back to saying charging device. I'm on stock rooted and tried this on all the current roms.
Hello,
I have had a good time using a usb c stick with exFAT to transfer files to and forth from my s8+. In the holidays I had water over the device and after the usb liquid issue. After some days it went away but now no stick , be it my usb c one or others with the OTG connector , is connecting.
Problem is that through cable phone connects to the PC ( although slower than usual ). Also charging first detects a fast charge through original charger and in 2 seconds drops to normal charging. For a while I have reset the device with the stick connected and it got read but after unplugging direct or unmount would
not reappear at a second plug.
Any ideas , this is driving me crazy ( even did a full reset to no avail ).
When I connect my A52 to my PC is will start charging but I can not get it to switch over to Default USB configuration to stay on and in Transferring files mode.
Please check your Samsung USB driver and also USB Cable, I used A12 too, there is no problem about USB connection for transferring files.
Turned out to be the Samsung USB cable that they provided with the phone. Used another cable and it worked just fine.

That is super weird
Agreed... I would have thought a Samsung cable would be sure to work.
