Ok, this is the first problem ive had with my evo, it was working fine until i lost my usb cord, then bought a new oem htc ac plug with a generic cable, the price was too good to pass, so i figured the generic cord wouldnt matter. It was working fine until a week ago, i plugged the cord into my laptop so i could test a rom, and it was copying it over, but very slowly, then it stopped, and said it was dissconnected. Also, windows is now dtating it could preform faster if i plugged it into a usb 2.0 port, even though, all my usb ports are 2.0. i kept trying it until it finally copied it fully, but later on i tried to test another rom, and the same problem continued, i tried an old htc cord the had broken prongs(the ones that keep it in the phone), so i held it at an angle, and it worked flawlessly, so i was wondering if buying a new oem cable would help or is my evo getting close to its expiration date.
__End Rant__ lol, i know i ttalk alot
EDIT: I forgot to mention that Charging the phone also dissconnect if the device if any pressure is put on the cord, even the slightess pressure dstopss charging.
I think the cord is just bad but you dont need a oem one.

Ok, I've searched for a couple of hours with no luck, so please don't kill me if the answer is already out there.
I plugged my phone into the pc and transferred a couple of files, nothing malicious. Now, when I plugged it back into the A/C adapter that came with the phone, it won't charge. I tried it again on the pc and it charges that way. I tried my girls Epic charger (with the A/C adapter that it came with) and it started charging...for about a minute. Now that one doesn't work with the adapter either, only the pc. Does anyone know what the deal is? I need my phone for work, as I am in the car all day, but I am afraid to use the car charger because I fear that will stop working as well.
Please help if u can. If u have any questions, please ask. Thank you very very much!

Kind of an odd problem, and I don't have specific knowledge of it. But just some random ideas ("couldn't hurt" type stuff): have you tried powering the phone off, than on again? Or try taking out the battery and putting it back, making sure its firmly seated, and all contacts are touching?
Thanks for replying. Thankfully, my phone accepted a charge from the car charger. I did try a battery pull and reboot.
I found out the hard way that whatever happened also screwed up some settings...for example, the phone did not vibrate when the alarm went off this morning. I went jn and manually changed stuff back to my settings.
So basically, I can charge the phone with its original usb on a computer, but it won't work when plugged into the AC adapter. I can use the usb/ac adapter from the Epic (yesterday I thought I couldn't...that was my mistake). Essentially it seems like the usb or phone itself damaged the adapter, so it will no longer work. Problem is, I don't know if it will happen again. I'm toying with just contacting tmo and getting the phone replaced, but I don't know if they will send a new one (I got my phone in october, a couple of weeks after released)

Have you tried using your charger to charge a different phone? It might be possible that your AC charger is busted?

That's what I'm thinking. Its pretty unusual for a phone to accept a USB charge and not an AC one (the reverse seems the more typical problem). And especially if a charger for a different phone works.
I'd ask T-Mobile for a new charger, and go from there.
Thanks again for the replies, I really appreciate it. Yeah, I tried using the ac adapter with the Epic, using both usb cords, all with no luck. I just don't know how this happened. Plugged into the computer, then into the ac charger (like a hundred times before) and it kills the ac charger? Weird, and I'm worried about it happening with a new charger...I'm still under warranty, does tmo send new or refurb phones as replacements, I wonder...lol. thanks again!

Hello,
Recently the charge light on my phone started flashing when I plug it in to charge. While plugged in the phone switches to charging and not charging with the flashing light, as if I was plugging in the phone and unplugging it. Fortunately I have an external charger I can charge my batteries because it never charges while in the phone.
Reading other posts I've read that this could be due to an overheating battery, bad charger, bad cable or a bad battery. I have different batteries, chargers and cables and all have yielded the same result.
I'm Running CM on my Dinc . Possibly coincidentally this problem started when I installed adfree. However I have removed adfree and even flashed my phone with the newest stable CM.
Any ideas? Perhaps something fried in my phone.
Thanks in advance!
the port might be dead. will it still transfer over usb to a pc?
Thanks for the reply!
Nope, not recognized at all. Not even with USB debugging on.
That is what I was thinking to, but always optimistic of what people have done here. Kinda surprised that I haven't been able to find anyone with the same issue. Just lucky to have a unique problem!
Guess I have a hard decision ahead.... Rezound or Nexus
yeah no USB response is never a good thing.
How long have you had the phone? do you have the insurance?
Had this happened to me once due to the charging port being dirty. I just took an old toothbrush and some alcohol and brushed the dirt out. Has worked fine ever since.
I have a weird problem with my Note 2. Recently my phone was repaired ( changed Display and Main board)
working fine at today Afternoon, but now my phone is not charging with my Stock charger, my brothers phone charge with my Charger but my Note 2 wont. I tried his charger and it works, then I connected my phone 2 pc with the same usb cable I used in my charger, and it charge but pc cant recognize my phone, Same cable work for other phone and charger also work for other phone.
I Factory resetted my phone but not working Switch off, Battery pulled out. still not working.
Do I hv to Reflash my phone.
I'm downloading DN3_v5+ rom
I'll try this one.
But it will take around 4hrs, and what if it wont work.
Plz Guyz Help me
It sounds like your USB port on your phone is messed up. A lot of times with a bad micro usb port it will either not charge but sync data or it will not sync data but will charge. Also this goes for the actual usb cables as well. If you use a known good usb cable and it will either not charge or not sync dats on your pc, then it's most likely your usb port on your phone is bad. Even the refurbished devices sometimes will have bad ports that were not fully tested before passig QC so this is what I suspect is going on with your phone.

I've heard a bunch of people having this problem. My temporary solution was buying an additional batter w/charger for battery. But the usb flex cable I repaired myself last week. The part was $11.00 and the tools to pry apart and unscrew the phone were about $10.00. There are several tutorial videos on YouTube that guided me through the process.
Last weekend my phone was working perfect then the battery reached 1% i put it to charge and i saw that it was charging but it said 6 hours to charge, which i found strange, i tried multiple chargers, etc. and none of them worked, so i thought that maybe the usb port got damaged because the same thing happened to my old note 4 and i fixed it replacing the usb port but i changed the usb port and it didn't work, so i thought that maybe the replacement was broken too, and i order 2 more from different places, and they didn't work. So I think that maybe is a software issue, I have the OF8 room rooted with AOU Kernel and TWRP and using the engineering sboot but there is no way for me to flash to stock because the phone is not being recognized by the computer as a usb device, so when i connect it to the computer is only working for cable charging. What do you guys think? Maybe i got all the replacement port broken, or maybe the sboot is affecting the port, or worst case scenario, the mainboard is faulty (which i don't think so, because the wifi, bluetooth, gps, screen rotation, everything else works)
Computer USB ports generally cannot fast charge unless it's USB 3.0. The phone doesn't need to be recognized by the OS. Fast charging is different from quick charge, where you will need to buy a compatible charger.
Thank you for replying back. But the issue is not the fast charging with the USB computer, is with any kind of fast charge/quick charge wall adapter. I think that i found the issue, and it was an external battery pack that it was damaging usb ports, because i got a brand new LG G4 and after i connected it to the battery it started to behave in the same way, so looks like the usb port gets broken every time i connect a device to that external battery.
Hello there,
I got my Pixel 3a XL for a week now and since yesterday I'm not able to charge it with the original fast charger that came with it. With a different USB A To C cable it works, though very slow.
When I plug in the original charger one of the following happens:
- Nothing. I have to flip the cable like in the old USB days (wtf)
- It charges in a one second Interval. Meaning I hear the sound/vibration when it starts charging, but then it immediately stops charging, starts chargings, stops charging... and so on.
I already factory reset my phone, which didn't help. I tried a different charger from a galaxy phone. Same happens there. Only with a USB A to C cable which is plugged in a PC I am able to charge...
What could that be?

First of all, is this a new, used, or factory refurbished phone? If it's new or refurbished with a warranty, get it replaced under warranty. If it was used and/or has no warranty, look at the port on the phone to see if it's dirty. Carefully clean it out with whatever will fit in the port without damaging it. Pay special attention to the bottom as debris tends to get compressed and eventually gets thick enough to keep the cable from going in far enough to make a good, secure contact.

It's brand new. I did just clean it (but nothing came out or was visible) and now charging works again...
That's weird. It was clean as a whistle and I just thought "just clean it even though it looks clean"... weird!
But thanks anyway
Do you know anyone who has a QC 3.0 adapter and cable USB 3 end? Try it on a different charger... If it fails on multiple chargers/cables, then you device is likely defective and you will need to get it repaired/replaced.
Sorry, no quick fix here...
