[Q] SD Card Not Available While Charging - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

During the process of flashing various kernels from netarchy and kingklick my EVO stopped being able to access the SD card while it is charging with a wall charger. There are no options I can find to switch it out of disk mode like I can while it is connected to a computer. While I am connected to the computer I can switch it from disk mode and my SD card becomes available.
I have tried several new kernels with both caches wiped without any luck solving the problem. This is not serious enough for me to do a complete wipe.
Anyone else experience this problem? Any suggestions short of a full wipe?

Have you attempted using a nandroid back to your original kernel?

No I have not, partly because I cannot say for sure when I made the nandroid if I was having this problem or not. I usually charge while connected to a computer or if I am charging with a wall charger, I usually am not using the phone. Therefore, it is likely I had this problem long before I noticed it.
Thanks for your suggestion!

I would try to find the stock kernel to see if it effects it. With Cyanogen however I have noticed that depending on the charger I use the phone either just charges or acts as if its plugged into a computer. The only varying piece of hardware is the cable in my case. So you may also want to try different cables. I have no clue why this would act in that way though.

Have you tried plugging it to your PC and switching it back a forth between Disc Drive mode and Charge Only mode?
That solved the issue on my Desire.

Newb with USB issues

Hello all. I'm TK, newb who has been lurking for a while. The forum has led me to some awesome changes with my Evo, but that may be catching up with me. I'm still rooted and running CM 7 with SZ 1.01, and none of my computers are able to recognize the USB drive on my phone, regardless of which cable I use.
I can't get ADB to work on my PC, so I'm not able to perform any commands for the phone.
Can anyone help me with this issue? It would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Do you have debugging(in application settings) on when trying to use adb? What about allow mock locations? Try turning debugging off and then turn it back on(while plugged in USB). If that doesn't work you could always go to recovery mode and enable USB toggle and get it connected that way. Also make sure you're actually pulling down the notification bar and selecting "mount".

Does your phone get recognized at all on your computer when you plug it in? If not you may have a hardware problem -> usb port is loose.
On my original cord that came with the phone I had to trim off about 2 centimeters off of the plastic to go in far enough to have my Toshiba laptop to read it. I have had to do the same thing to several cords since. Maybe your usb?

Yes, my computer just says that it doesn't recognize the hardware. it charges just fine by the computer.
I'm running ClockworkMod for my recovery, I'll check for USB Toggle there.
No joy on finding USB Toggle.
It's called something different. Can't remember but it's there, I believe. I've only been in Clockwork recovery like once.

[Q] Cant mount USB, get to DL mode

Hi Guys/Gals
ive done a bit of searching and have tried everything i could think of but still no DL mode, and cant mount USB
I started having a problem with my mic ... thought it might be the ROM so i wiped dalvik, problem was still there. Then did a factory reset, problem still there
Thought i would try a different ROM, but when i went to plug my USB in, my PC would promt me with a USB device not recognized window. I tried mounting USB via USB utilities - No Go. Tried with debugging mode off, still no go.
I have reinstalled the USB drivers, still no go.
The phone also turns on when plugged into wall power, or will not stay shut down ... hrmmm
Im curious if the mic and USB issues are related and it is a hardware malfunction.
Any tips, help, or advice would be GREATLY appreciated right about now.
Thanks XDA!
Welp ... got DL mode on my work PC. Will try to get back to factory and see if that resolves the USB and Mic issues.
Pretty weird considering I tried it a few million times.
Scratch that. Got DL mode, once, can no longer. Wtf is going on.
Holding volume+/- and inserting USB cable. Am I doing something wrong? Its sending me straight to CWM recovery everytime.
Tried to do a restore from a point but got an MD5 sum mismatch

so hold the vol up + down then plug phone
Tried everything.
Not a newb when it comes to getting to DL mode if the phone is opperating normally. (obviously if ive come from CM7, and ICS as an original vibrant owner, and was running a rooted SGS2)
Went ahead and ordered a new phone. Am going to spend the couple bucks on the DL mode USB plug, might be able to save something from the old phone.
Im pretty sure something happened to the phone that affected the ports on the USB and MIC at the same time. But we'll see once i try the plug ...

Youve tried two different power sources, what about a different USB cable? Had that issue before where the cable was bad and only noticed when other USB devices werent connecting through it..or intermittently.
yes i tried different usb cables, different power outlets and different computer's.
also i noticed that when its actually charging on the PC, i don't get the small usb icon on the notification to copy files from pc .. i need to power off/on the phone.
ever happened to anyone ?

Ive never read that here, i have a Telus one also and it shows up right away. The odd time ive noticed that ill hear the usb unplug/replug sound from my pc and the phone will show the USB Connected on the status bar as though it somehow reset its connection. But never had an issue where it stays disconnected.
I also only got that issue with certain roms, i dont remember which though. I ran painlessly on Juggernaut for a while and right now im on Touchless and its also perfect.
I am running on Juggernaut, i recently did a clean install (wipe data .. everything) i was having few issues, i though maybe that would fix the issue.
the phone at times thinks that i have plugged the charger in to charge
and u see the battery icon changing. weird...
Have you tried charging with the phone powered down?

[Q] USB connection issues

I've looked around the forum but since this might be a model specific issue i'll ask here.
Lately I've notice that when I plug my phone into my computer and turn on USB storage i can connect but on every occasion the connection will drop and i will have to press turn on USB storage. This makes it very hard for me to backup anything, add/remove photo's (which I use this phone a lot for photo's it's a handy point and shoot), music, movies etc. also I have a hard time transferring a custom rom to the sd as the connection will fail 9/10 times.
For now I have just been removing my sd card and using a usb/micro sd adapter and then plugging back into my phone.
I am currently using CleanICS rom but have had the same issue using Foxstar, juggernaut, and Hercules versions. any ideas?
Bad cable maybe.

I have tried a three different cables, they all have the same effect.
Can you try a different computer?
Do you have anything stuck in the port on your phone? It sounds like you might have some lint or something in it.

Did this use to happen on a stock ROM? If not then it may be the custom roms you're installing. If so then it may be something with you're cable or computer. Make sure kies is installed. That'll make sure the proper drivers are installed.
I'm just sayin!

USB not detected. Urgent Help.

Okay before yall rage at me, I already search XDA+Google. I think I found some answers to it, but there seems to be some confusion about my problem...So I wanna ask you guys DHD/I4G users.
My problem is that when I connect my phone to the computer, my phone doesnt detect USB anymore. this happened way back before, but somehow it worked again.
I have 3 new different USB Data Cables. I tried all three of them to see if it was my MAIN USB Cable Data that was broken. It wasnt.
I tried connecting it to 2 other computers in my house and still no luck.
So when I was searching, people said that this problem can be from...
-hardware problem(broken) (but i dont think its broken cause my phone is still able to charge.)
-rom with bad download.
And there were some suggestions to what I should do...
-super wipe your phone and re-install a new rom
-take the micro sd put it in your computer format the SD card.
-take battery out for 30 seconds then put it back in.
-return to stock
-reinstall HTC drivers
however all those methods did not work at all.
The thing is my phone still charges on whatever USB or Computer I plug it into.
Also, this problem happened to me awhile back but somehow it was fixed..IDK how I did it.
Also sometimes, my computer detects it, but it says "something has malfunctioned).
my phone has never got in contact with any form of liquid. but what i think has touched my phone is heat or sweat from my pants.
Edit: also, I never dropped my phone before.
Is this a hardware problem? because as I said it before this happened to be awhile back but I was able to get USB detected to my computer again.
Can anyone give me more methods/information on how or what I should do to fix it?
Phone details
- Device: Inspire 4g
- Rom: Aospx BR7
- default Ril from the rom
- radio : in my signature
- phone about 1 and half years old
It seems you have already ruled out software and cable/computer issues. It is possible for a device to have intermittent failure. Sounds like a bad sd reader. Charger runs seperate from that.
Could also be the PC hardware. What PC OS are you using?

ummmm all I did was just blow on it(sounds wrong, LOL).
oh yeah and also, i always hear that sound when you connect any USB into the computer. that beeping noise. but only when I reboot my phone.
I could always transfer files by using the Micro SD Adapter, but thats too much work. taking my phone case out, taking out the bottom part, taking out usb, putting it in the adapater, then in the computer....-_-
update.
I kind of found a solution?? if i can take any step further...
So I changed my rom to a sense 4 rom(virtuous). I disabled Fast Boot from there. Now my computer detects my phone but it gives me the notification saying that my device cant be recognized.
U can use software data cable app its free .. and u can nove data between phone n pc wirelessly as long as you are in the same network ...
