Cannot connect to PC - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I have this problem for a while. I have a samsung galaxy nexus running on this CM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405298 . (I had this problem on several CMs). It doesn't connect to pc, doesn't show ip in device manager,my computer etc.. But it does charge. I tried cleaning up the usb port but no difference.
FYI :
Usb debugging activated
Tried with fast charge on/off
Naked drivers
Different cables/usb ports/computers/laptop
It's not a charge-only cable
So... HELP ?!

You mentioned that this problem has occurred for you on other Roms also? Has it been an ongoing issue, or has there been times where you flashed a new rom, and suddenly the problem stopped and only started again on another Rom? or has it been persistent from rom to rom? It could certainly be the case that your usb port is beginning to go bad...it was a huge problem in the vibrant community once vibrants became about 2 - 3 years old. Since the usb port on our phones receives the most wear and tear, it is a common problem. The early symptoms are usually that the phone will charge just fine, but will not be recognized by the computer for file transfer.

It persisted from rom to rom. So i'll just have to change the charging port with a new one ? There's no known solution for this ?

One, or perhaps the only solution would be to replace the USB port.

Look in System Settings -> Storage -> 3-dots -> usb computerconnection, if MTP is ON

USB doesn't work???

Can someone please help? I just bought a used P3300 from ebay (a wholesaler). The phone works great, absolutely everything works except for the activesync over USB. The phone is not even seen by the computer with or without activesync. I have tried it on several computers with the same issue, yet the battery charges through the USB cable.
I even reflashed the ROM using the SD card method and still have the same issue. What might be going on here??? How can the USB data connection be not working? I've never experienced this with many different phones I've had.
thanks,
Go to Settings, Connections, USB to PC, and untick Enable advanced network functionality.
I tried that, it didn't make a difference. I also tried both Activesync 4.5 and 4.2. Still nothing. I hard reset and soft reset several times - still nothing.
What Firewall is on your PC. Could be this causing the hassle.
Have you tried using a known-working usb lead?
I had this problem also to begin with, google an application called "USBKILLER" and put this .CAB onto your memory card and load this onto the phone.
When your in the application select SERIAL and click YES and this should resolve your problem - I am not sure why this happend but my mate who has the same phone does not have this problem and can resolve it by removing the check box in USB to PC settings
hey guys.... thanks for the input. My firewall is disabled - I read the Microsoft article regarding the ports Activesync uses. But AS works with my other phones, so I know that's not the problem. Same thing with the USB cable. It works with the other phones but not this one.
nicko666, I will try that USBkiller program later tonight. Thank you for the suggestion. I'll let everyone know how it goes.
Found USBkiller Cab File Attached - good luck
I tired the USBkiller program (found it myself earlier) but it also doesn't make a difference. I tried changing the setting to SERIAL in the program and also playing with the "advanced network functionality" and activesync connection settings and it's a no-go.
Still nothing works. Do I have a broken device?
hardware problem
i had the same problem after 1 month of using my p3600 i pay 59 euro to change it because the garanty not include this problem.the service told me that it was my fault !!!!
Hello. Is your PPC detected by Windows in the manager of peripheral? It is necessary that you look at if you have a new network card named "Windows Mobile".
I had that problem. I am sorry, but I think you bought a used and not-functional phone. The problem is probably due to high power that the phone got, probably when charging it through a car-charger. You should NEVER connect the phone to a car charger and then start the car - the power can damage the USB connection. You should always first start the engine and only then connect the phone to the charger.
Anyway, I had the same problem - the USB could charge the phone, but no Active Sync connection. I sent my phone to HTC UK, and after one week I got it back with a new board (they replaced the whole inside of the phone). Free of charge.
If this is the situation with your phone - no software solution will help you.
Damn, that sounds like what's going on with my phone. How do I find out how to have it serviced? I can't find anything on the useless HTC site. Please help....
And thanks to you all for the help so far.

I remember sending them mail regarding the problem, via HTC site (mail: [email protected]).
After all the solutions they suggested didn't work, they called me and asked me to send the phone to the UK (they gave me all the details and were very nice and efficient). I must say that my phone was still at warranty period.
this may sound silly, but have you tried the usb ports on the back of the computer?
for some reason, the usb headers on my motherboard don't seem to recongise the phone, i'm not sure if theres no enough power or what, i've onbly tried the cable in a laptop and that works fine...if i plug them in the front usb ports i get the error in windows 'Your device has malfunctioned, Replace the Device and Try Again' or something very simular, tried the other usb header on the board, same problem, back ports, no problem...all other usb devices work fine in all the ports!
Dear all.
I work for a company that has over 600 of the htc p3300. Some of them will work in the usb and some don't.
I have 4 at the moment, 2 of them will work with the usb and the other 2 won't........
Tries all the stuff mentioned here and nothing helps.
Can't update them because of the usb........
HTC are not a lot of help either......

Hi I had been trying to sort this problem out too, and after reading about starting cars with the device on charge I thought I was doomed. But what stead suggests has just worked for me too. I was using the nearest USB on my laptop but plugin it in round the back has just got it working again. The last time it synced it was 'Repairing' the Active Sync 4.5 setup program run through. I must admit that the cable into the phone is also resting on a pen at the base of the phone- just to make sure....

[Q] Galaxy nexus USB data stopped working (still charges)

My Nexus is stock but it is unlocked.
I have the latest CWM on there (touch 5.8.0.2)
I was currently downloading all the necessary stuff to flash to AOKP but havent even got there yet because all of the sudden my USB isn't working.
I have tried two different cables, the stock one and a different one (both which were working before).
I get charging working through USB but no file transfer.
I just did a wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache via Recovery, and still nada.
Am I cooked here? B-stock with no warranty from Expansys, now currently kicking myself for not buying brand new.
[edit] yes MTP and USB Debug were/are both checked on
[edit2] a lot of my searches seem to indicate that you can move and transfer via adb in recovery or fastboot while having this error. I am not finding that to be the case.
[edit3] windows 7 does not show any indication of a usb drive or anything plugged in as it used to before. This is obviously making it hard for me to try things like reinstalling drivers and whatnot.
thanks
It probably has nothing to do with the USB port...
Plug your phone into your computer, and then scroll the status bar down. You should see a notification "Connected as xx" Select that, then make sure connect as MTP is checked, if it's connected via ptp (camera) it won't allow you to sync files, for what reason so ever...
If that doesn't help, then reflash stock ROM, that usually helps.. With most problems anyway...
If both of these don't work, then I'm sorry, but I can't help you. I'd then call Samsung, and send it in...
LG Simon
Yea MTP was already checked on. USB debugging being on would have auto kicked in as well.
I flashed AOKP but still the same issues. The hardware might have gotten bonked - I hate how fragile these tiny little ports are!
Is there some kind of diagnostic I can run to see if it is truly a hardware issue?
It's the kernel, try another one

Just swapped to Faux kernel... still persists.
I'm really starting to think its the hardware but crossing my fingers there's a fix.
the same thing is happening to me, it started yesterday too!
I am on AOKP b-23, Faux kernel....
plug in my usb, it can charge but absolutely nothing happens on the computer side, try it on number of computers too... but the phone is able to charge.

Mine started doing this. Would charge‚ but sometime I couldn't transfer data or use adb. It seems that the USB didn't like to stay in my computer. Any little movement would unplug it just enough to keep it charging but nothing else.

I've since tested the MHL cable and also tried using the usb host cable to connect a mouse and both work... does that mean my data connection theoretically could be fine?
I'm using AOKP #23 with Trinity and not had this issue at all. Whether it's because I combine the ROM, Gapps and kernel before flashing I don't know but my phone is running fine
im having this problem as well. does anyone have a solution?
So all you guys that are having problems have enabled MTP through Settings >Storage?

Had this same issue yesterday ( phone was 1 day old ) had it plugged into my windows 7 machine and all of sudden the machine couldnt see it. So I wiggled the cable sure enough the computer saw it, jiggled it again and it would lose connection to the PC. Tried this on several PCs with Several cables and same result everytime. If I held the cable connected to the phone at the right angle it would never lose connection.
Ran to Verizon and the numbskull behind counter tried telling me that is normal and I would just have live with it, almost punched him in the throat. Demaded he go get another phone and show me if that one does it. It didnt so he swapped it and was to hasty about it, ended up giving me another cable charger and headphones WOOT WOOT
new phone doesnt do it as of this writing
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427539 This is probably the issue you guys are experiencing. Seems like you should swap it in or try to fix it yourself by changing the USB charging board.

i'm an android dev and this has happened to me. really really not good to no longer have adb access to my device. restarted both the phone and computer and tried a different coworker's computer and usb cable with no luck.
i used a samsung usb charger last night which i usually never do (i usually just charge it on the computer) and now this morning i have no data connection.
Hello,
have this problem already on my GNEX. After some reading, i got an idea to turn off Fast Charge in Trickster MOD.
And MTP now working .
Anyway there is an warning about fast charge - " Enabling this will disable access to phone storage" .
Problem solved
Yes, i can't connect mtp too and you rigth..usb fast charging is the problem.

Just so y'all know...Fast Charge is simply tricking your phone into thinking it's plugged into an AC outlet...rather than a USB port.
Thus MTP won't work.
same issue here
I'm having the same issue here. Charging works fine with 2 computers and multiple USB cables (as well as AC and car charger adapters), but data transfer has completely stopped working. My computer won't see my phone at all. I have the correct drivers (given that I used them to connect to my computer when I first rooted and unlocked the bootloader). Tried changing the drivers, but I can't get my phone to show up in Device Manager at all. MTP and USB Debugging are enabled.
The only thing I can think of is that I dropped my phone while it was connected, and now the USB cable only charges the phone if I bend it in a certain way (it usually requires upward pressure where the cable plugs into the phone to work). However, other USB charging cables work just fine without any pressure. Is there any chance that a new OEM Samsung USB cable might solve my problem? The other cables I've used weren't OEM.
I normally use a wi-fi data transfer app because the USB data transfer has been slow since day one, so that can be worked around. What IS a major problem for me is that I'm trying to re-root my phone after my root access was lost with the 4.0.4 OTA update. I didn't keep up with the news and only realized last week that my root access had been lost because I tried to do things that required root. Since the OTA update trashed my CWM recovery image, I seem to have no way to re-root and reinstall CWM aside from going back to my computer and doing what I did the first time. But if I can't connect to my computer, I can't do that. It also seems that I would need computer access to remove root in case I bring it back to Verizon for a replacement under warranty.
So on another note, if you guys know of a way to re-root my phone without connecting it to my PC, I'm all ears...

I have run into a lot of USB defects on the phones I have received. It might be wise to get Samsung to repair it, but you will be without a phone for a week. You could also try another cable.
I used to have similar issues except where the power got routed into the data port, frying my phone in multiple areas.
On Samsung's repair ticket they said REPLACED COMPONENT (I'm assuming this is the usb controller and port) this could be the solution but it requires sending it in.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus USB Connection Issues

I am having a very annoying issue with my Galaxy Nexus. When I connect it to my PC, it recognizes the device, however, constantly connects and disconnects. The USB cord is not moving. My other USB devices connect and stay connected (hard drives, mouse, printer, droid). I found this post attached, however, therre is no PhoneUtil code for the Galaxy Nexus.
Does anyone out there know how to solve this issue?

yes. same thing happened.
I have the same issue on 2 separate Galaxy Nexus phones now. no solution yet. I am on the phone with Samsung to see what they can do.
thanks for the reply. please keep me posted. i havent resolved my issue yet.
I've tried changing it from MTP to PTP and turning after switching between the two. I've tried two different roms, one based on 4.0.4 and 4.0.3. I've Tried several different USB cables, including the ones that came with my G2x and Nexus One. I've tried it in a USB 3.0 Port. I've tried using different kernals. Even when I get into recovery, windows still doesn't read somthing is attached. I've been transfering ROMS to it via dropbox. I don't think it's a rom issue as it should still show up in windows when in recovery. Also on those roms I made sure that they didn't have "USB Fast Charge" enabled, as I heard that can cause the issue I'm experience. Thinking it was an issue with CWM, I downgraded it, but still no USB. I'm stuck here. Any help is greatly appreciated.
The 1st posts pdf seems to be the most logical solution, we just need the phoneutil code for the galaxy nexus.
This seems to be a common issue with the GNex, see http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23789 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427539.
Please star/comment on the google issue tracker.
thanks for your post. the issue in the posts you included seem to be a different issue. those refer to the battery and charging icon, while my issue is related to the computer recognizing and connecting with the phone. i am going to post something on the google board though, i havent seen that one before. thanks!
It's the same issue...
Before I had the problem with the charging icon it started just like your problem...seems to be a problem with the usb plug....only solution is to send it to repair or exchange the phone.

What annoys me is that when I got the phone it was already rooted and I didn't have a chance to try it stock or back up the original. It was rooted with an older version, so I flashed 4.0.4 on it. Check out the reviews on newegg I'm not alone in reporting a messed with Galaxy Nexus.

I found a fix for the issue
This was a very frustrating issue for me. I just purchased the phone yesturday to have an issue like was unacceptable. After hours of frustration, I found a solution. First off, download the offical driver pack from samsungs website. Once you have the pack installed, plug the phone back in. Once you have completed this, go under development and enable USB debugging. After the debugging, you should have a stable USB connection and wired tethering will work. I hope this helps you guys with your issue. It resolved mine. This was also done running Windows 8 beta.

Try ever so carefully bending the usb port up towards the screen. Maybe with a tooth pich so you do not scratch anything. My SGS2 did this and after tweaking I had ZERO issues.
I just tried that it sometimes works now (rarely though ). I also noticed that the phone charges its just the MTP that isnt working
Same issue...
Went to root my Gsm gnex... Couldn't connect to the pc...
And now whenever I go into gallery it force closes... Could it be an issue with the internal storage?

Is there any chance that you've got fast-charge enabled (say if you're running a kernel that allows it and some script starts it upon boot?)? If so, then USB Storage or MTP isn't going to work and isn't supposed to until you do this:
1) take it out of fast-charge mode (like with .. trickster mod or an "#echo 0 > /sys/.. {wherever it goes, have to google it},
2) unplug USB
3) plug it back in
4) hopefully it'll work if that was the problem.
Just a thought and it's happened to me. I use a script I wrote on boot to enable fast USB charge and another from userspace to disable fast charge so I can see the drive.
Good luck.

I use Trinity Kernel and I made sure fast charge is disabled. I even flashed from Rasbean to CM10 to make sure it isnt related to the Rom or kernel. I'm guessing it might have something to do with the usb port in the phone as sometimes it connects but disconnects after a while
Thanks anyways

Ah well, too bad. I guess if you need to get to your PC and don't mind reduced speeds, you could always use a cifs (common internet file system) aware kernel, (faux or air I think, maybe more), then use cifsmanager to mount whatever PC share you like and transfer over the air for now.

hardware issue?
I did some research and came to conclusion that it is most likely a hardware issue. I had tried bending the pin inside the USB port but that didn't do the trick for me and seems to be a rather unreliable solution. I found a guide to replace the port yourself on ifixit. Since I don't own the tools and am not very good in repairing those things myself I had mobiletechvideos do it for me (i'm not allowed to post a link but you'll find it by googling for it).
It's a fair price for not having to do it myself and risking serious damage to the device. I got my phone back after 9 days and since then it has been working like a charm.
Anyway, it sucks that the micro usb port is that fragile and got damaged so easily in the first place.
I had connect problem and everyone kept saying i needed to install drivers and sending me to toolkits. I KNEW drivers installed. Turned out to be the usb inf file in sdk only had nexus one, ns4g, and the 7 wrote in. I copied the gnex info to the file and rebooted computer. Worked perfectly. Didn't even get the new hardware popup.
*Shaolin Shadowboxing*
I've been using trinity and noticed that sometimes it doesn't recognize the USB when plunged in after it's been up for awhile... Something happens when it's been on for awhile I don't know if it is fast charge related or not..
My solution... reboot the phone with the USB plugged in.. works EVERYTIME...

Phone Charges but wont connect via USB

About 2 weeks ago my phone started having issues with the microSD card. I was plugging it into my computer off and on trying to get the card to read. Then one time the computer just stopped recognizing the phone. Since then I haven't been able to get any computer to recognize my phone. I plug it in and no MTP / PTP options show up, nothing in the system tray to indicate I have attached a new USB device. It just charges the phone.
Phone info:
Samsung SGH-i747m
Android version 4.2.2
Baseband version I747MUMLL1
Kernel Version 3.4.37-cyanogenmod-g7b457dc
What I've tried:
Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers
Every USB port on the box
Factory data reset--both from the setup menu, and the diagnostic bootup menu
USB debugging mode, both on and off.
Changing the UART and USB settings in the *#7284# PhoneUtil. After my last factory reset, it's set to PDA/MTP+ADB.
3 different computers, one Win 7 64 bit, one, one Win 7 32 bit, one Win XP SP3
about 5 different USB cords
I tried a touchwhiz rom CSROM
Cleaning the USB connector with a pin / air can
Changed the Kernal
Anything else I should try? Is there a way to determine if the USB plug on the phone is bad?

What ROM are you using? Not stock obviously running 4.2.2
Make sure fast charge isn't selected. You can't use USB with fast charge enabled. There is either quick tile setting for it (aokp) or under performance settings or in ktweaker.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried about 5 different roms, some touchwiz some not. Haven't gone back to stock yet though.
However I went back to a AOKP rom, Tasks650. Haven't been able to find the usb charge toggle button yet but I may have a kernal not compatible with it. However when I plug the phone into my computer and look at the Battery is says I'm on AC charge so that is likely a good place to start looking for a solution.
Thanks again.

Is your USB port open? Example: at my office desk, USB only charges but does not allow devices to connect.

yeah, I've used the port before these issues started and it still works with my Galaxy Nexus.

If plugged into USB it says ac charge than fast charge is enabled. That's what it does. Goto setting and find the sub menu for the quick setting tiles. There will be one for fast charge. You select it, drag down your quick tiles and you can select and deselect it.

Faulty cord. Go on amazon or order another one. I use a heavy duty one from mediabridge for $5 and it does data and charging. Many times over the years I get an OEM micro usb cord that charges all 3 different galaxy S models I have then after use it will work on 2 and then only one. Sometimes it will just charge and not work with data transfer.
I highly doubt it's your phone.
I saw you tried different cords but were they new ? A picky microUSB or one that's more worn out might only work with a certain cord.
You can replace the microUSB port and it's cheap and I assume there a video on youtube for it but off course it's up to you.

Downloaded a new version of Task650 and enabled fast charge, reset the phone and then disabled it and reset the phone again. Same issue. PC does not recognize the phone but it charges. Check battery and says its on 'AC' charge. I wonder if somehow the two middle pins on the phone got shorted out so it permanently thinks its on AC charge?

Yeah, I just got 10 new microUSB cords to the house. They are cheap ones. However I tried a few other ones I have around the house. I don't know if any of them are the original Samsung cords but I certainly have original HTC microUSB cords. I've probably tried about 14 different ones in total now. I don't think its the cord.
I am in the same boat , my phone works perfect on Win 7 but not on Win XP.
I use airdroid or mmc adapter only if needed.
I did try a web link to fix the mtp issue ( before my xp pc was refomated ) and have had the phone recognized as a USB drive , can't find the link anymore. It has something to do with windows media player .
If I find something , I will report back.

Warranty exchange ? If it is the port.... It won't get better. I'd exchange or try a swap

On your windows XP device, download the newest version of Windows Media player. That always got it working for me.
I have this same issue now. Is WMP update really the issue here?

About 2 weeks ago my phone started having issues with the microSD card. I was plugging it into my computer off and on trying to get the card to read. Then one time the computer just stopped recognizing the phone. Since then I haven't been able to get any computer to recognize my phone. I plug it in and no MTP / PTP options show up, nothing in the system tray to indicate I have attached a new USB device. It just charges the phone.
Phone info:
Samsung SGH-i747m
Android version 4.2.2
Baseband version I747MUMLL1
Kernel Version 3.4.37-cyanogenmod-g7b457dc
What I've tried:
Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers
Every USB port on the box
Factory data reset--both from the setup menu, and the diagnostic bootup menu
USB debugging mode, both on and off.
Changing the UART and USB settings in the *#7284# PhoneUtil. After my last factory reset, it's set to PDA/MTP+ADB.
3 different computers, one Win 7 64 bit, one, one Win 7 32 bit, one Win XP SP3
about 5 different USB cords
I tried a touchwhiz rom CSROM
Cleaning the USB connector with a pin / air can
Changed the Kernal
Anything else I should try? Is there a way to determine if the USB plug on the phone is bad?

I've been having the exact same problem with my Note II - couldn't get my PC to recognise the SD card but it would charge.
However, then it stopped charging my phone, too. I naturally assumed it was the USB port or the lead, but having tried four different leads - all tested on my wife's SII and all working fine - I realised it was something else.
So I swapped in the spare battery I have and that did charge; swapped back to the old battery and that charged, too.
Weird...but OK, phone is working again.
Next day, no charging again.
Swapped batteries - no change.
Swapped batteries back - no change.
Reflashed ParanoidAndroid ROM - no change.
Flashed Samsung base ROM - no change.
Flashed ParanoidAndroid again - batteries start to charge on USB and on wall charger.
WTF????
Two days later (yesterday) - batteries no longer charge. I'm having to use an external battery charger that plugs into the walls (take the battery out of the phone, plug into the charger, leave to charge).
I've tried different kernels (Devil, NEAK), leads, batteries - nothing.
It's just goddamn weird - and a real pain. :crying:
Sounds like I would start with warranty for the batteries. Stranger things have happened because of batteries. On the inspire, when a battery would start going bad the phone would reboot when trying to take a photo with the flash on.

I Managed to fix the "Usb not detecting with PC when you connect it but only charges the phone. With me it was a software problem because it happened after i installed the new firmware. what i did was root my phone using Framaroot 1.4. its a apk application, then i installed Titanium Backup. went into titanium backup then to the MTP application and backed it up. then i restored it +all date,. plugged my phone in with the pc and it worked.
Mine turned out to be a software problem, too. I moved to the Beanstalk ROM and that fixed it, weirdly.
I've changed ROMs since (PACMan and SlimBean) and everything's still fine...

By default my phone was already set to the right settings for USB file transfers so I’ll assume most of these ship with the same configuration, Somehow it changed. I found this on a forum - it seems a few other folks declared it a success.
1.Launch the phone key pad on your note and press *#7284# (don’t forget to start with that * symbol!)
2.When you press the last pound sign (#) this will bring up an option that will allow you to change your USB connection settings (modem or PDA) – change it to PDA.
3.At the bottom there is a button that says Qualcomm USB. Click on it.
4.In that menu click on MTP + ADB option.
5.Save and reset.
6.Wait for your phone to restart.
7.Plug the micro USB cable to the Note 2 and the the other end to your PC or Mac
8.Let your computer down load and install drivers.
9.Once installing is done, unplug then replug phone.
10.There should be a USB symbol on your phone in the status bar - click on it. It should ask if you wsnd to use mtp or ptp. Click MTP
11.At this point your PC should open the phone’s folders in explorer.
12.You may have to repeat this process a few times....it worked for me after 4 tries.
Remember, you do not need to use Kies or root your phone for this to work and you should not have to fiddle with manually installing and downloading drivers in Windows 8, it should work no problem as is.
Good luck!
