Audio & USB Storage Stopped Working - Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What to do I was using a usb hub and saw once it said something about usb storage and to eject, but now it acts like the usb hub isn't there and won't pick anything up not even the keyboard and I've tried two different hdmi cables and neither one of them will give me audio.

Sounds silly but just try turning the ouya on then removing the hdmi cable wait 5 seconds and reinsert whilst on.Had hdmi drop out on many devices, and yes although it's unprofessional it has worked for me before.Try the same with the hub but just reboot after reinserting after 5 seconds.

I turned it over on it's side and it fixed both my problems. LoL

You probably have some loose solder joints. I haven't had any issues with mine but pretty much everything you plug into it feels loose, might take it a part and put some heat to it soon.

Will not stay connected via USB

i searched around and i cant find the thread on this.
i was charging my phone through the USB port and it just randomly disconnected. i reconnected at it is recognized for a second then disconnects. the menu comes up on the screen and i see the notification at the top, but after about 2 seconds it just acts like i unplugged it
i have tried multiple USB ports, cables and different PC's and they all do the same thing now.
i installed HTC sync and rebooted the machine. i changed the power settings on the machine and made sure that the USB power management is disabled.
does any one have any idea whats going on?
Do you have a auto kill app such as taskiller ?

no... the phone was just hard reset. the issue was there prior to the hard reset
it does the same thing on my laptop and desktop
both are windows 7 x46 with HTC sync installed
could be your usb port on your handset OR/AND the usb cable's tip that you insert into the port could be loose/failing. wiggle the usb cord at the end where it connects to the phone GENTLY and see if its loose. should be s snug fit...
I have the same problem n started a few threads about it n havent gotten anywhere. My work computer has no problem seeing my phone but my personal computer will not, very very strange. Ill watch this thread n see if a solutions comes about.
seems like a very snug fit too me...
i should also mention that plugged in to the wall charger it has no problems
i have tried 3 different cables and 3 different computer and all USB ports on those computers, all the same issue
I didn't have this issue till now but suddenly same thing started happening to my phone..
I have plugged in my phone using USB with laptop and it shows me charging but after two minute it just discount it...
me and my buddy have the exact same issue here. what i do is, i unplug it a few times and on the 4th i keep it it. seems to be a bit more stable that way.
i don't think this is an issue with faulty usb ports on everyone's separate computers. (could be but i frelling doubt it) ive tried this in multiple windows machines (win7x64 and xp), and it happened on all of them. Only once did it happen on my work mac. i have not, however, tried a different micro usb > usb cable. i only used the htc one. we could have faulty cables. or it could be a phone issue itself, hardware wise whereas these are the only common denominators we have in this problem that i can see.
i lean towards faulty batch of cables. if you plug in the cable to your phone and computer, and wiggle the middle of the cable without touching the ends, it will disconnect.
what gets me is that there is no problem when it connects to the wall usb port. that is confusing. maybe the cable needs a more heavy flow of power to stay connected, which then leads me to believe that usb drives don't have enough juice to keep the thing going, or at least variable flows of power.
i know the phone has an "issue/feature" where it will stop charging the phone completely when it gets to 100% even if you leave it on the charger. maybe some sort of overcharging fail safe right? so what if there is something wonky going on with the phones usb port, or the phone cuts off the connection thinking your done using it?
its late, im speculating just throwing stuff out there.
I'm getting the same problem. Thing is, if it needed more power, why would it still work in a mac? I didnt have this problem until I went through a few different ROMS. So I dunno. I never had this problem before root. But I dont see any reason why it shouldnt fuction normally

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.

USB Problem.

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.

Stock usb cable bad?

I had the phone for like 2 months now,anyways the phone stops charging if i move the cable slightly.I noted that the second cooper pin from the micro usb is missing of pushed idk.It's charging but its annoying when I use it while charging.I tried different cables but they don't work or chargr slowly.Do you think I can fix it with a needle or something?

[Q] Damaged USB port?

Last week I wanted to plug in my phone into our shop's stereo, using the the official included USB-C to 1/8th headphone adapter. I plug in the phone, fire up my music, but the audio continues out of the phone's speakers.
So I unplug and replug in the adapter, and the aux cable a couple of times with no luck, even restarted the phone to see if that would do it.
At that point I thought that somehow the adapter was damaged, so I ordered a replacement (making sure to get one with a DAC [sidenote: **** any manufacturer that makes you not only have to get an adapter for headphones, but makes you have to get a SPECIAL adapter])
No dice with the new adapter.
I went a couple of days not really worrying about it, the phone charges just fine, like it always has, so I didn't think it was a hardware issue. I thought it was just bad luck with these stupid, terrible, superfluous, awful adapters.
But today I had to pull a file off the phone to my computer, using multiple known good Type-C to USB-A 3.0 cables.
Phone says it's charging, but I didn't get the notification to select USB mode, and USB ADB debugging never showed up.
Windows is constantly making the device connected, disconnected sounds, and device manager is showing me an "Unknown USB Device (Port Reset Failed)"
Is it possible that somehow the data connections on the port on the phone are damaged, without it affecting power delivery? I have no idea how that would work, Like I said, it charges just fine, and all my cables feel pretty secure when plugged in, there's no play or wobble and I don't know what to do to troubleshoot it further.
You can try to clean the port
I have the same issue. Ive requested a replacement aux dongle from Google and still no go. It charges fine, connects to my computer fine adb, data transfer etc all work, only for music it continues to play from the speaker even when connected.
Yes it's possible for the phone to get power but have no data connection it's happend to my Nexus 6p I paid for the insurance so I had to pay the deductible to replace I have had some data issues with the pixel 2 xl but always seems to come back after a few days could just be a dirty connection since I work construction and some times gets very dirty.
But I'd be careful of what cables you buy when they are usb a to c but seem to have no issues with c to c
I have the same problem and are trying to work with Google for a fix. I have tried everything and they are pretty useless. I am now requesting a new device as I'm still under warranty.
