Hey guys. Im having some issues with my s3 and the otg cable. So I was in the car for a road trip. And I was playing games with the otg cable and a ps3 controller. Then I put my things away and put it in my bag and fell asleep. When I woke up I tried to play a game again and when I plugged it in the notification bar kept saying " usb connecter connected" then 1 second later "usb connecter disconnect ed". Any help?
You seem to have damaged the connector by any chance ?

My charger works fine and the cable works on other devices.
Does it work for data on other devices, or just charging.
Try another cable anyway. They do get messed up easily.

Have you rebooted it? And are you using any apps like Joystick2Touch, or the dual shock app?
I tried both qpps but nothing worked

The pins used for data transfer could become damaged while the ones used for charging remain intact. Works the same way on a cable too.

whenever my phone is powered off (or I power it off) while it's on the charger
it will power back on. anyone know why it's doing this? could it be the USB wire/charger?
The screen should just light up with a battery symbol to show charging.

it SHOULD do this, but it doesn't
if the phone is off and I plug the charger in
it will start charging, but it will also power on :|

If your on GB, then its a known issue. But if this is happening on froyo, then I would ODIN EB13, root, and flash SFR.

what do you mean? like a docking station?
or just a regular Samsung charger that would fit my phone and several other Samsung phones?
They mean a charger that fits the battery to charge it outside of the phone.

no, I don't need to go through THAT trouble, lol
So, I turned my phone off to charge it one night and realized I left my charger in the car. My G2x charger was still in my room. So, I plugged it in. To my surprise, instead of charging my phone, it put my GS2 into download mode.
So, now instead of messing with the buttons trying to get it right, I just turn my phone off, plug it into that charger and then plug it into my computer to use with Odin.
I have no idea why it does this, but hey, I kind of like it.
And, that is my dumb story for the day.

Maybe a pin configuration diff in the charger. That's about the only thing I can think of that may be able to pull it off. Good to know. Thanks
I would not trust using a wierd cable in Odin, good thing it didn't disconnect or anything during the flash or you could of very well bricked the device
just words of caution

Weird. I wonder why mine doesn't. Do you use it with the phone off?
My g2x charger does the same. There have been threads on it already.
Here's one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314284
This also means that we now can have a jig for bricked phones, right? Figure out what's the pin configuration that forces it into download mode?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
My dog bit mine, at the LG sign. It turned it into a jig.
That means no more Odin, and no more USB drag & drop transfer
tried in CWR mode mount
tried mounting normally
tried on several Win 7 machines (comes up as Unknown device)
tried on several Linux machines (it no longer gets detected)
i'm unable to do USB on the Go anymore, it was able to before
the problem started after i pluged in MHL adapter to HDMI
it still works on HDMI if i plug in the MHL
but, i can't find a way to reverse it
i tried even Wiping Data, Wiping DalviK, and Wiping Cache
i even tried flashing a new ROM in CWR
Dude that sux. It still charge tho? And computer?
Have you tried a different computer?

i know a few guys had similar issues here before about losing USB or it not longer being detected
i just wanted to compare notes, and see if they also had this happened after doing something with he MHL adapter or something else.
yeah, it kinda sucks now, i won't be able to depend on Odin to save me any more

the Note is not stable in Tmo, i can't use it as a phone yet, not reliable enough
i also had the same problem on the Note after trying the HDMI on it
however on the Note i can still do USB on the Go
Yesterday my computer was not reading my device either, but after a reboot it was good to go.

that's definitely not it, as i'm in a computer lab, i have access to over a dozen computers & laptops of all sizes to test, and i pointed that out already on the OP message
try with different usb cables, it might solve that problem.
Did you super wipe? Also, try a USB jig to get into download.

as in, it does not turn yellow or green in Odin
on the USB driver it doesn't change to the ADB something something (forgot the full name)

Good luck with that...hopefully all u need is a cable

hopefully it's just the cable. Also, if you have spare Nokia CA-101D usb cable, try with that. It might work.

Hopefully, that's what it is. I had the same problem with my Transformer. It would charge, but comps wouldn't recognize it through USB. It was solved by purchasing a new cable.
While not exactly the same, since the Transformer has a proprietary port, it seems to be a problem with integrated charging/data cables being used today. The internal wires that carry the data fail, but the power wires remain functional.

are you using the official mhl adapter or something cheaper from ebay?

I had the exact same thing happen. Mine was also the USB cable. Go to ebay and order a few. I paid 10 bucks for 3 OEM samsung cables

Update
It was indeed the HTC USB cable that decided to quit on me
the faithful servant has been with me since like forever... oh well, at least it still can retire as a charging only cable. (gonna sort out the pins to get it to be detected as AC cable instead of USB csble)
tried the original one from Samsung and another one from BlackBerry and they both work fine, even the cheap generic ones from China

I had the same problem with my HTC cable and I called HTC and they replaced it with another one without asking me to return the old one..I was still under manufacturer warranty.. I called Samsung the other day and asked if my cable died on me will they replace it.. They said yes, but I will have to send in the old one first so they can check it before sending me another one.. See how different company do things..crazy.

Okay, bear with me, as I got this phone today. I tried to use the USB to copy files and such. When I plugged the phone into the computer, it started opening stuff, and would not respond to touches. What do I do? Should I just get a replacement? I eventually was just able to bear with it by using the option to use the phone from the computer.

Are you using the USB cable that came with the phone? Try using a different cable, or a different USB port on the computer, or even a different computer to see if the problem still occurs.
This sounds like the kind of problem that occurs when you use a bad USB cable.

If the laptop doesn't solve the problem, then I'd probably get the phone exchanged. Good luck.

Along with checking the cables, make SURE you're plugging into a properly powered USB port on your computer/laptop. I have, on occasion had similar issues when using a USB Hub that wasn't properly plugged-in to power so the phone acted up.
Good luck!

So, this isn't a problem through the whole line of Nitros, mine is just defective? Thanks a lot. I will be getting mine replaced.
How do you guys like the Nitro? Is it a good overall phone, or should I get another device while I still have a chance! ( keeping in mind, I got this phone because of its price($.97))

To make sure, you have it disconnected and it's giving this error?
Maybe something on the MicroUSB leads that makes it think it's still charging?

Probably the easiest and best choice in this case. Hope they can repair it for you or offer a replacement.
Corrosion on charge port! The smallest bit can cause this! Happened with mine... I can fix.. For a price lol jk... I really can fix and really id need a price but just try to safely get charge port off and clean the crap out of it and solder it back on without damaging it
