I searched everywhere but haven't seen this problem. My Sprint Note 2 charges fine in every AC charger I have tried, my OTG cable registers when I plug it into the phone, but no matter what cable or USB port I try on my computer, it isn't recognized at all. No charge light, no system tray notification, no nothing. Every other device I have plugged into my computer is recognized every time.
This is complicated by the fact that I just installed a new motherboard and CPU and I hadn't used USB on my old computer for a while so I don't know if it was working before the upgrade or not. I'm going to try to find another computer to try it on, but does this sound like a bad phone USB port or a computer USB problem?
Never mind. it works on another computer, so it must be a problem with my computer.

I've been having a lot of trouble trying to fix a bricked usb port. The phone doesn't charge when it's on, off, plugged into an outlet or USB port. The computer won't recognize it or even that it's plugged in. Also, I tried a fix where I downloaded two files "flash_image" and "mtd-eng.img" and did something with them in terminal. I was told to plug it into USB and do something in fastboot, I tried but obviously if the USB port is bricked that didn't work (just says waiting for device). I'm really at the end of my rope here. Any suggestions?
(I've been keeping it charged with a hacked up USB cable on the battery leads).
Sounds like a hardware issue at this point, one of the leads on the USB might be loose. Only thing I can think off is taking it in for repair.
Is anyone else having issues with the USB-microUSB cable provided by Samsung?
I have had trouble physically getting it plugged into the charging block and staying seated. However, my biggest issue is connecting it to my laptop. I plug it in, connected to nothing on the micro end and Windows tries to install drivers and eventually errors out. Then I can't connect my phone at all. I had to use my cable from my HTC EVO to get the ODIN connection for rooting working properly.
I seem to remember when my mom got her Samsung Transform, we had similar issues with the USB-microUSB that came from Samsung and we had to use my cable to root her phone too.
What is with Samsung and shotty USB cables?
i can't connect my sgs2 to USB storage. when i plug in the usb cable to my computer and phone it will charge but nothing else happen. i had stock rom before but are currently using jug 4.0. i thought it was the rom so i downgraded to 3.69. still the same problem. i mean i can do anything with the phone just can't let my computer detect the phone. i tried to reinstall the driver, nothing works. please help!
Is your cable a samsung branded one? I had that same problem but with stock rom. I used an LG branded cable and the phone would connect to the computer and charge, but would not go into USB mode.
yeah, i am using the one that came with the phone, i guess i will try to use a different one. it was working fine before, don't know why it just stopped!
This has happened a few time for me. Sometimes the phone has only needed a reboot, the wire definitely plays a big role... I bought some cheap cables that didn't work at all... some of the older roms wouldn't show USB connected unless drivers were installed (kies). An issue I've more recently unveiled is after using an MHL adapter sometimes the USB will connect for 30-60 seconds before unmounting storage again. Hope that helps
My SGSII HercuDom needs more w00t. It always needs more w00t!
I had the same problem on a stock phone (purchased in late Oct from T-Mobile store in Arizona). I would connect it to the computer and it would charge but would not recognize the USB function (for data transfer or modem use).
Took it back to T-Mobile and they overnighted me a new one for no charge. New one works fine.

Cant charge or connect to USB
Hello, i just bought a samsung sgh i777 and when i try to connect it to charge it, wheter is on the wall or computer, a battery starts to flash, if i disconnect it, the phone starts as if you are turning it on. So far i've tried: Change the battery, change the charger several times, put factory settings and still the same problem, can anyone help me?
Thanks,
FS
Just got a brand new Samsung Galaxy SII T989 from T-Mobile this week, it really is a great phone, only I have a single problem.
The phone charges, it functions properly generally speaking (calls, texts, camera, wi-fi,etc...) but as soon as I connect it to my computer it freaks out.
It acts as if I were disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable 2 times a second. I can hear the phone making the beeping sound it makes once you connect it to the USB every few seconds and in my computer (Which is running Windows 8 x64, just in case.) I can see the "Safely remove hardware symbol pop up and disappear a few times a second as well.
This is really frustrating... I love to take pictures and videos and edit them... I'd also love to copy some music over as well...
So far I've determined it can be the cable, bad drivers, or the phone itself, I just hope it's one of the first two.

Try re installing the correct drivers or switching the usb hub. If that does not work it's most likely the usb cable, swap it for a different one and you should be fine considering you bought the phone new.
Or you got a phone with a bad motherboard which would be crazy considering its new but that kinda sounds like the problem I had

Alright cool, but how does one find currently installed drivers when the device isn't plugged in?

Ok, does it get better or worse if you hold the cable with your finger when it is plugged in to the computer and phone and move it around a bit on the phone end? If so, I even got a Nexus 7 brand new from Google that the charge cable phone end was bad and would not make a good connect and I had to use a different cable and it works fine with my tablet.
If you use the same cable in your AC charger and on the computer then prolly not the cable.
It could be something in Win8 if it is trying to scan your USB port [like maybe a whacked anti-virus].
Have you tried a different USB port on your computer to see if maybe the one you were trying to use is bad itself?
If using a USB hub between your computer and the phone try removing the hub from the equation and connect directly to the computers USB port.

I am using a HUB on a Razer Keyboard that I've always used BUT now that you mention it my webcam had the same problem. It wouldn't work with the HUB on the keyboard. I'll try another USB slot (My computer's other USB slots aren't very accessible which is why I've hesitated to try another slot.)
I don't use anti-virus and yes, the cable works perfectly fine on the AC USB to Power adapter it brings.

I love you. It worked. It's the USB hub which doesn't allow much power to go through to the connected device. Thank yo so much.
I have a very specific problem.. Not sure if I'll get much help unless you have the same setup as I do but here goes!
Ok, I think I've got everything set up correctly here but I just put this system together this past weekend and decided to try out the USB-C port on the motherboard as my case doesn't have it on the front.. Noticed it takes forever to recognize I've even plugged anything in (Pixel 2 XL). Once it's recognized it's great! Is there an issue here with this? Driver issue maybe? I'm reading through the manual and there really isn't much there.. Plug my device in, 5-6 minutes later I hear Windows recognize it's plugged in. Windows 10 x64 Build 17093.
Also, after it delays in recognizing I have the phone plugged in, everything works BUT ADB Sideload...
I never could get my PC to recognize my device when using the type c port. Always had to use the USB port. I don't know if the type C cable recognizes data I think it might only be a power cable.

That's what I can't figure out.. Someone else is having the same issue with the same exact motherboard I have but seems worse off than I am. Mine just takes a while to be picked up as plugged in but eventually works fine. I installed Ubuntu and it took only a couple minutes to pick it up.. Going to try fastboot/adb as that's never worked..
Stop trying to use a USB c to USB c cable, this has been advised against, doesn't matter what motherboard you have. Go grab your self a normal USB to USB c cable, they work much better and should pick up your phone immediately.
