look inside the port, some connectors might be bent. If you can get it to connect to a computer once though, put back stock and take it to sprint, or you could always buy an extra battery and external wall charger and just switch batteries when needed

I780 charging with USB Cable

Can anyone tell me that how i can use the USB Cable to charge my I780.
Do i have to install any driver or patch in my phone
thank you so much
Set your USB mode to storage card or install the Samsung USB driver provided with the phone. Then it should be charged after plugging in.
With usb chargers for the power plug it won't work with the provided usb cable. What I did: I've bought an additional charger, cut off the cable and connected it with the plug of a spare usb cable. Now the phone also gets charged w/o a pc...

Anyone having USB connect issues?

Sometimes my phone will not charge when connected to the wall or my computer. The problem usually goes away on it's own, but when I need to charge I generally need to charge.
Sometimes I cannot access my phone via USB on PC either.
Only with data to and from the computer. No charging issues at all.
I've never had issues when plugged in to computer (USB). I frequently have issues when plugging into wall charger, but I think I have a bad cable. Phone will recognize charger connect, sit for a second, and lose the connection. Charging stops while cable is in. I bought a cheap cable on-line for the wall charger. I guess you get what you pay for....!
I have issues with usb connnect to computer since flashing cm6 8/13 nightly. Will not charge or mount usb.
Restoring back to 8/11 seems to fix issue but can't seem to get any newer nightlys to work or rc2.

Kind of sounds like a loose connector. I bought some micro USB cables from monoprice and the size of the connector was just a tad smaller than the plug for the phone. So if the cable wasn't plugged in and propped up in a certain way, the phone wouldn't charge. I just bought some new cables from monoprice (the ferite core ones) and problem solved.
I guess when this happens to you, wiggle the cable a little and then hold it for a few seconds at a certain angle and see if it starts charging... if it does then you know you need a new cable.
I was having similar issues and with my sd card permission issues I simply uninstalled my usb drivers and my removable disc drivers for the phone on the computer I think there was like 3 sets and haven't had an issue since.

Micro USB Cable

Hey guys, first time poster!
My Galaxy Nexus is on the way and I'm looking to get a second micro usb cable, one that I can take to work and charge from the USB port on my work computer.
Will any old cable work for the Galaxy nexus? Is there any half decent ones going around?
Any micro usb cable will work just fine.

This is a pretty good one as it is quite flexible and not too short:
5 Feet USB A to Micro USB M/M Data Cable for Cell Phones, Charge Cell Phone on PC and Transfer Data
And if you use MrRebates.com, you get 3% cash-back and $5 or so just for signing up.
I find the USB cable that comes with the device too stiff and too short.

Wrong Cable prevents PC from Recognizing Phone

Found out what prevented my phone from being recognized by my PC. The problem was the cable. I was using a new cable that I suspect came with my wife's Samsung Galaxy S3 phone purchased at Costco. There are no markings to identify the cable other than the usual USB logo. This cable will do a slow charge but will not transfer information. so Beware.
My LGOG wont even charge if i use the micro usb cord for my nexus7. I thought all micro usb cables were the same.

Well monster cables (and apple for that matter) will tell you that (probably just a marketing ploy) not all cables are created equal...
I know this was very true with the Samsung Epic. It was proven many times. Ferrous cords seemed to be the best.

I bought a charge only micro usb cable. Won't transfer data on any phone but will fast charge on any connection. Will get 1Amp for the PC. charges from 5% to 100% in about 1 to 1:30

is there a usb otg cable that'll power the phone and allow usb connections?

i like to use my nexus 5/7 to connect to my computer at home through VNC but it draws up quite a bit of power. Is it possible to have a OTG cable that'll connect to the MicroUSB port of the phone and then two cables come out, one that has female MicroUSB port to charge the phone, and a second cable that's a female USB port so I can connect a USB mouse to?
Thanks

I have not tried this myself but read on other devices that OTG Y cables will do what your asking.

Be warned that sometimes the specific device will not support concurrent charging. The cable link above specifically mentions the Nexus 7. Read the reviews.

I have that cable, it does charge the phone but stick doesn't get mounted. I haven't tried to make it work or anything because I don't use it.
