I just received my replacement phone from Sprint. I go to boot it up and see that it is saying USB connected and just saying it over and over, like I am plugging it in and unplugging it. This was pure stock. I go to put Cyanogen Mod back on it and it actually stopped it for a while, but it keeps coming back occasionally. The only way to stop it is to plug a charger up to it and then it stops.
Thanks,

Go back to stock and bring it back to sprint... seems as though lots of these phones have been having this same issue... make sure no apps are installed at all when you bring it to them so they can't blame it on an app...

i had this problem also, drives me crazy, The worst thing is this will eat my battery. All i can do is to hide the notification bar (possible if using adw launcher), but when i open an app, the notification bar appears again.
Done anything like back to stock ec05, repartition etc, etc. But now im on MTD and at first the problem with usb is still there, but now it is completely gone, wtf
It may be gunk in your USB port. Look inside with a magnifying glass.

i dont know, cleaned my port with thin damp cloth and push it using small stick, i even brush it using toothbrush with no result.
But recently it just go away itself
I had this problem when I first got my epic (bought it used on eBay). I tried blowing in the port and stuff. Eventually the problem went away and hasn't come back.

uh, not to scare you or anything, but you don't clean any ports on a cell phone with a damp cloth, it will do harm to it. take a toothbrush that has never been used before and gently brush the port. then blow into the port to remove debri (small particles), then try it.

I'm having this issue while trying to get my phone back to stock so i can sell it. It just wont connect on odin, just connected and disconnects over and over... I already have another phone on my service. is there a way to get to stock without using a USB cable? Like, flash to older rom, and get an OTA? can i do that without the phone on my contract?... ive been searching for answers all night... I got it un bricked so far, and im on stock EH06 right now.

seems not, i use the cable to charge my Desire HD with no problem..
I'm opening the converter apart, it is just mini-usb 2 cables soldered to the maybe VBUS and ground micro usb, so this is a charger cable, the data pin was shorted, maybe this is why the notification stopped ?
USB Connected message issue fix
My SPH D700 Epic 4G from Sprint started having this issue, I finally fixed it by turning off USB Debugging mode (uncheck it unless your using it).
whala! no more USB Connected annoyance!
Worked on my phone, let me know if this fixes it on yours!

Use a tooth brush and scrub it. You might have dirt in the port which is preventing you from having a clean connection

Did you check if the phone is still under warranty?
I did a warranty exchange for loose usb port connection and I bought my phone off of Craigslist.
I called T-Mobile, they looked it up and they charged me $20 warranty exchange fee and sent me another phone.

Try a different rom or kernel. There is a bug in some. I had the same problem with one of the ics roms. Try a GB rom , see if it works again

Bringing this back because I'm having same problem. Dropped it in the sink but quickly took it out. Everything works perfect. Phone charges fine. The problem is it does not want to connect as Mass Storage anymore. I've tried three different roms and all the same thing. I just bought a charger usb port from eBay for about $5. I'm guessing that the problem. My question is, is it soldered? Can't really tell. Advice would be appreciated.

I know this is from a long time ago, but did you solve this? I'm having the exact same problem.
My phone got wet in a downpour. I thought I had it dried out because it initially wouldn't charge, but after leaving it in a bag with silica packets overnight the charging ability was restored. A couple days later I realized that any other usb functions didn't work. I cleaned out the port with WD40 as was recommended elsewhere to help eliminate moisture and remove some corrosion - mass storage still won't work and can't use Odin. I have tried multiple cables, multiple USB ports, different computers, reinstalled drivers. I'm sure none of these options worked because it is a problem with the micro-USB port on the phone.
Thanks!
I've been flashing roms back and forth from gingerbread to ics and so on... lately ive noticed that sometimes my phone will say that its charging without being connected to the charger... the notification light comes on and everything.. even shows charging in the battery stats... doesn't stay on for too long or even everyday... anyone else witness this?? Bad charging port? Is it the leaked roms?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
This has nothing to do with the rom... it's a problem that happens when the usb port gets one of the leads crossed or messed up. For some reason the search function isn't working for me or I'd get you the link to the thread I had about it.
Basically take a long thin needle or pin and slide it down the pins on the USB connector (the inside part of the usb plug). it's hard to describe but once you figure it out you'll be fine. I had a crappy cheap charger that I stopped using after I fixed this and the problem never came back.

I'd like an update if possible if you are able to get it warrantied? I thought once anything was modified that was it? And won't they argue that the crappy micro-B usb failing is the user's fault, rather than the fact it's an unreliable unresiliant usb port? *I miss the mini-b usb*
If its same carrier then of course same device, I don't see why it would be an issue, just nadroid it before you replace it with an older backup.
I went back to an osimood nandroid backup and guess what my charging is working perfectly! Does this make any sense? Guess my phone does not like ICS. No need to send it in under warranty now.

I'd keep a close watch on it none the less so as to not begin experiencing the problem again only for it to occur outside of the warranty.
#1 Are you using the real Samsung charger? I've stopped using other chargers in an effort to prevent excessive wear/damage to my ports. They fit the most flush and smoothly it seems in comparison to half a dozen other chargers and usb cables I have used.
#2 Are you sure it wasn't just a bad flash? Did a reflash? did a wipe and then flash? Just curious but I'd give that a shot. Also checksum the ICS image you did use to be sure it wasn't a bad download?

Sorry to threadjack, but every Samsung charger/cable I've ever used has barely held itself in the port, loose and floppy like an old hooker's va-jay-jay. (inb4urmomlol)
Now Nokia, those guys can make a damn microusb cable! plug into the charging port, I can pick up my phone and swing it around by the cable if I wanted. takes just a bit of effort to pull the cable off the port...
And now back to your regularly scheduled banter...

Since you mention it, I can't argue. My nokia ports were pretty rock solid, but I still have my old Nokia USB cable, and while so far all of my samsung ports and cables seem pretty solid/not loose, the nokia fits in (short of making any dirty references :laugh pretty snug and too snug for comfort, which is why I mentioned sticking to the original ones in hopes of less force and wear.
I understand loose but now it works with osimood where it didn't before the same exact cables. Seems that there is something that changes with ICS and charging.

Now... That's why I avoid using Samsung's USB cable, they're too much troubles. I have two of them shorting itself out, so the Wacom Bamboo USB cable gets used instead - no problems. I wonder why Samsung makes the most unreliable USB cable, hmm?

USB cables! my wife and I both have Glides and with in 3 to 4 months both of the usb cables broke! I mean the end that plugs into the phone just disintegrated! I use a usb cable that came from a palm one phone, its twice as long and works wonderfully! although be very careful with the port in the phone! was caught in a light rain, and a single drop happen to hit perfectly on the charging port! that ended the usb functionality! still charged but could not use on a pc. I had already rooted the phone! I called att and they sent me a new one on warranty. I got lucky I guess, all I did was delete all the apps the used root and used root explorer to delete superuser.apk. rebooted the phone and sent it in!
I would say if you need to send it in, just flash the leaked ICS update and that will un-root and also restore a stock recovery. there's also a stock 2.3.5 and the stock recovery floating in the forum here somewhere!
Yup... -___- Mine just shorted out, from positive to negative - at least Samsung's charger itself is fault-proof (didn't let out the magic smoke when that occurred).

Hi.. i purchased a note 3 from someone .. the original 3.0 USB cord and charger base is there but when i go to charge the phone, it doesnt take the charge until i pull upon the end of the charger where the USB meets the bottom of my phone..
it looks like something may be missing there or something isn't tight.. can you take your note 3 back cover off and let me know if yours loook like mine? I was going to purchase another 3.0 cord but i dont think it's that... the regular chargers work in my phone and that's what i've been having to use
I'd appreciate your help. some pics i just took are below

Try and tighten the 2 screws (half turn) on either side of the usb port, and see if that will help. I just had the same problem and that fixed it.

Funny because I just got my note 3 2 months ago I could only use 3.0 USB for the first 2 or 3 weeks until it's started charging my phone super slow or not at all... USB 2.0 works tho...

My wife and I are have the same issue. Both phone charge using usb 2.0 cords with the oem wall plug but won't charge with the oem 3.0 cords. Started a few weeks ago, up until yesterday my cord still worked on both phone but not today
.....grrrrr
The charging cables from Samsung seem to be faulty, both of my factory cables have gone bad (mine and my wife's) but my third party cable works wonderfully.
Yep, same here. It's a really strange problem. Mine stopped charging with the oem cable maybe a month after I got it (tried tightening the screws on the port, which did feel a bit loose), but still had problems with charging. The OG cable does however mount the phone on my computer for odin / file transfers so I just got a wireless charging module and charge my phone that way. Adding further to the mystery, I just ordered this micro usb 3.0 hub: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JWM7GUY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but I haven't bothered to try it out until right before posting this (I had a pack of 10 micro usb 2 port covers and I'm down to like 2 because I frequently lose them when I take them out; wish I could find one that attaches to the phone, like the one on the S5, anyone know where one could obtain such a product??) Anyways, the hub works fine, plugged my ps3 controller and a flash drive into usb ports on the hub and it worked no problem.
So, the port seems to work for anything except charging with the OG cord (just noticed that it does actually charge if I plug a power cord (not included) into that hub. The OG cord doesn't work anymore for charging, but provides a perfectly stable connection to my PC. So, in conclusion:
I got this phone 2 days ago, and I have noticed that the USB that came with it, has something like 2 little teeth at the bottom (I guess they are made to hold in the USB better)... But I kind of have to force the USB to come in, and I am afraid that I will damage the port. So is this USB safe to use and can it damage the port? Should I get an USB from another phone?

Its fine, 2 little teeth on the flat part, good usb cables will require some effort and may make a click sound.
My 3rd party usb have smaller teeth which makes the connection flimsy and insecure which is worse over time as it can bend the connection in the phone.
you shouldn't worry, you could use a Qi charger, what's worse is dust and lint blocking up the port being in your pocket which requires a clean
The cable will ware out before the port on your phone does. That's why it was designed that way, I believe.
I believe this wont damage your device
