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...

Ok, thanks. Glad I waited before swapping an invisishield out and having to do it again.

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.

i'm trying to isolate the problem,
interesting thing is, i found when i plug a mini-usb to micro usb converter (just the converter, not connected to anything), the notification seems stopped, but when i unplug the converter, it shows again.

Then you must have pins touching and when you plug something in it straightens them out.

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!
Have Fun, and Happy Holidays!

I have the stock charger for my Nexus, and just recently it has stopped charging.
But i noticed that if i pushed up on the charger cord that it will charge..this is very annoying. What happened? Did the slot just get pushed out of place? If so, how do i fix this?

Yes I have.. it turns out I have one charger that for some reason works.. It's alot bigger than my other ones, but also a lot shorter.
I had the same problem with my captivate and currently my Gnex. I went out and bought a blackberry data transfer cable and it works without a problem. I wonder if Samsung charge cables short out or break quickly.

Can you send me a link for the one you got?
If you've tried a few different cables and chargers and still have the problem then you definitely should get a warranty replacement. I had the same problem and it got progressively worse to the point where I could hardly ever get it to charge. Something was wrong with the USB header because even if I unplugged it the phone still thought it was charging. There's a flat metal contact point in the middle that can be bent slightly. You can try moving it, but that's not a good fix... metal fatigue and all that.
Is there any way to replace the USB port for cheap in the T989? My phone charges but I can't connect to my pc unless I bend the port up. The fix is temporary however. I really appreciate any help, thanks!
try to put the usb in rice i did my was broke it connection like amillion time but never holds the connection and the rice worked
Use a tooth brush and scrub it. You might have dirt in the port which is preventing you from having a clean connection

Sorry but I don't get it. Do you mean to put the hone in rice? How would that help?
Have you tried a different cable? I had one that wouldn't do anything without being held up.

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!
It been a while sense I've messed with this. I have two galaxy nexus one is pretty tore up so I've been using it to charge my batteries. My good one will not charge even after micro usb port swapping.
The one that won't charge my batteries: I don't know why it won't charge. I swapped the hardware. It all started when I flashed slim over I think it was Kang. While I was on Kang(I think it was that one at least) I messed with some advanced battery settings and forgot or didn't think it metered switching them back. I can only assume this is the culprit.
It will recognize the AC charging but it will not charge or it will only De charge my batteries. If anyone can suggest anything please let me know.
Thank you.

Flash a stock build to isolate it as hardware.

I've got one that is doing the exact same thing. It connects to the PC ok, and shows the charging symbol but when you check under status it shows as not charging.
I took it completely apart, cleaned the logic board with a soft bristle toothbrush in case it had any thing that might be causing it to short, and even replaced the usb charging port flex cable.
I have noticed that when I plug it into the usb ports on my HDD docking station that it makes a low barely audible static like sound. my other working Galaxy Nexus doesn't do this.

OK an update to this, if I run the factory Jellybean 4.1.2 image or CM10 it still shows the charging symbol and shows as not charging in the status info, but if the phone is left alone the battery does charge. If I run the 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 factory image or CM10.1 it doesn't charge unless the phone is turned off.
very bizarre.

That is somewhat odd that it will trickle charge yet. That usually is indicative of the usb flex being bad ... that or a bad charging cable but i assume that you have tried that already. Do you have data connectivity yet on this device? Usually you lose that when something like this happens, at least when it has for me. Do you flash the factory image via fastboot or odin ... You could try to odin it to ensure that everything is stock. But since your bootloader is charging that kinda rules out hardware especially since you said that you have changed it already. Only other thing i can think of is a kernel issue but that would be taken care of when flashing stock if you flashed via bootloader.
First thing, sorry if this has been answered before. The thread search never works from my phones. It just disappears as soon as my keyboard appears.
Is there a way to fix the USB /charging port to keep it from being so touchy? I've tried new factory data /charge cable. I've tried expensive brand name cables. They all seem to work for a more th or two pretty well and then its back to charge/not charge sometimes without even touching the phone.
This has been the way with every Samsung phone I've owned and it is so aggravating because, as I'm trying to type or while playing a game it interrupts and causes lags and also the battery will die while I think its charging if I can't see a battery icon.
Other than sending both my phones in for new USB jacks/ports, is there something I can do? I'm pretty capable at fixing electronics if not too technical.
seem to be having bad luck with your ports i would suggest a new charger but im sure you've done that a plentiful of times or you just have really bad luck with phones thats stuff get an iphone JK!!! lol you stick to samsung chargers not no after market stuff right ? and does the cable feel securely tighten or loose when you plug it ? is this phone old new you could have a dirty port spray some air can in that port to clear debris
Hey, thanks for your reply.
I think this problem stems from me being on the phones a lot and I have the the charging /data cable in a lot to keep the battery up. With that, the constant mmovement of up and down from table /desk top, to ear,or car seat /center console to my pocket as im in and out of my car.
The cable always feels loose in the jack. Im sure the jack is stretched open. The chip that is inside, may be has worn and the edges of the board slightly filed down making a loose connection .
Anyways, Ive already had to start charging the battery directly. I've also got a replacement ordered. That's why I pay for insurance right?
So we can put this thread to bed. Thanks
I have the same problem... I'm on my 3rd Galaxy s2...... Phone can be on charger at 15% let it charge for a few hours and when I go back to check on it, it says 10% battery.. I've bought several chargers and batteries... TMobile just keeps sending me the same phone out.. I just got another one on the 13th... What could be the cause of this... Also the phone shuts off while charging... So many dropped calls.. I give up on this phone... What can I do..

Same problem here. The best luck is (oddly) using a computer (instead of a wall charger) and charging while the phone is off. And, the original Samsung charger block and USB are the least reliable of all I have tried. The microUSB end of the cable is slightly undersized. Note: removing the battery completely (while not connected by cable) for 10sec seems to improve the charging.
It has been a good phone but 3 years might be all it can handle. Xperia Z3 compact, here I come.
