How can I tell if my USB port is busted or my phone is corrupted? Only charges now.

Charging over USB works fine no matter the cable or the connection but it no longer will show up in Windows on any PC as a device. I tried flashing roms, changing cables, and doing the usb fix with Terminal listed in the sticky but it doesnt connect or will it know it's connected to a PC.
Can the port be broken so data no longer works but charging does?

its not the phone its the computer, try another computer

I have tried 3 which is why I wonder if my phone is broken, but it charges fine.
On all PCs the charge light comes on the phone with no problems but with all of them none of them detect a USB device being plugged in.,
Even in recovery if I do a USB-MS mount nothing happens.
Can the usb port break so that it charges with no issue but wont connect to a PC?

Does the phone recognize your sdcard?

I think the solution to your problem can be found in this fix

The USB port on my Evo 4G will charge but won't show up as as a device on my laptop. If I hold the USB cable at an angle, though, it does show up. I think mine is busted, maybe that's the case for yours.

Yup. Last night I completely wiped it and had the phone format and set it up fresh.

Do you think the cable is busted or the phone? I have tried multiple cables on multiple PCs and nothing happens.
So then it is possible for the phone to be unable to connect but still charge fine?

Have you tried mounting when in Recovery?
It really sounds like your cable is weird. The power lanes are on the edges for USB, meaning that the port on the phone is probably physically fine. The cable, however, is vulnerable to damage on any one of the four wires.
If nothing works, then perhaps something internal is busted. What do you need to transfer from your computer? Perhaps you can do it by connecting to your computer through WiFi for mounting the SD card and adb?

Its your USB port on you phone, theres 2 pins or smoething broken inside your phone thats causing the problem. I had the same problem on my Evo were it wouldnt connect as a storage device and would go into car dock mode. I took it to sprint and showed them the problem and they replaced my phone. As long as you dont have any physical damage such as the screen being cracked you should be fine and they should replace it free of cost.

Make sure that your cable is not one of those charge only, car charger type cables. Typical car charging cables don't transfer data.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. If I wiggle it just the right way the computer will see something but it will go away as fast as it shows up. Doubt Sprint will do anything as the phone is a few years old, I dropped the protection plan, and it's rooted to heck.
I'll just keep it running until this fall and upgrade when the new Nexus line comes out.
Hopefully.

Micro usb will charge but doesn't recognize that it is plugged into a computer

The phone charges fine but when connected to a computer it doesn't recognize that it is. It isn't rooted or anything it isn't running a custom rom. has anyone had this issue? has my micro usb port simply worn out?

I had a Nexus 4 that exhibited the same problem. I believe the micro usb simply can not endure the repetitive insertion and exertion of the usb cable. The mini usb standard was much more robust, at least physically.

look in the charging port to see if there is any gunk in there. clean it out if there is

I agree, micro USB sucks and mini USB isn't that much bigger the first phone to use mini USB can have all my money

I have the same problem.
I have tried a different port and computer as well.
I used the same cord for the wall charger and connecting to the PC.
When I connect it to the wall charger, it works fine.
However, when I connect it to the PC, nothing happens.
The phone won't even recognize that it's being charged.
It won't even show a message...
Anyone have a solution or know why?

HnnnnnnnnmnHmmmmmmmmGpuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Hah. It seems that usb cable can be used as aerial for our device

I've just discovered that when you plug your phone in, your phone begin to use performance mod (like laptops) that's why it can be faster.

Plug it into a computer?? Or just the cable?

It's probably because the wifi chipset use our USB Cable like an antenna, stupid, but kinda logic.

hahaa,it worx,lol.

Yes. It works.
In addition to this, I found out that even data connection with both 3G and 2G also is very fast, when data cable is just connected.

Hi
Got this watch and got a cable from Amazon
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Huawei-Cha...92351002&sr=8-1&keywords=huawei+watch+charger
However while it does charge I cannot get it to connect to the PC and its not recognized and I tried everything. Anyone got a cable that can be recognised by PC or any other options
Cheers

I have tried a few aftermarket chargers and none had the capability to connect to the PC. The wiring of these aftermarkets may only be set for charging purposes, just as some usb cables despite looking normal will only charge and not transfer data. Gotta keep the original cable around or you may be out of luck.

Cheers thanks for the response
Problem is I bought the watch and there was no charger with it so had to get one from Amazon. Charges the watch ok but cannot get it to connect to PC. Was trying to load apps via this and found this out. Then trying the ADB route via Bluetooth but cannot get this working. Have a few apk’s on the phone for watch faces Fossil etc just wondering how I can force these onto the watch?

Since you have the nice watch, it may be beneficial to shell out the 40$ for OEM charger. I've tried to get Bluetooth adb running in the past but it always ended up with it not working and me with a headache... What I will try later tonight is wireless adb. It worked surprisingly well with my firestick. There was an actual PC app for it that may just work for the watch.

Can't connect to PC except for charging

Hi. I wanted to flash Oreo RUU and root but I cannot connect the phone to my laptop except for charging. I get a message saying "USB device not recognised". I've tried 2 cables (HTC and anker) 3usb ports but to no avail. I've tried installing drivers through HTC sync but it doesn't work. I've tried to connect in bootloader, recovery, and download mode but same problem. Can anyone kindly help me? Thanks.

may be due to faulty c type connector on phone

Any way to test that?

If it does not recognize in PC try with an otg cable and pendrive. If it also doesn't work then it could be the connector.

is fast charge still working? on my htc10 the usb connector died after 15months and it started with fast charge not working and the pc connection was very unstable. In my case it was warranty and got repaired.
