hi there,
I have two (potentially related) problems, the power draw of my desire is immense, from a full battery I get 3hrs tops (in airplane mode). Even when plugged in I don't get much longer i receive a message saying that the power draw is too high.
I have tried restoring factory settings a few times, 3 different batteries and an external charger.
I thought it might be worth trying a custom ROM to see if that helps but i can't get the phone to connect to the computer, it appears to "charge" when plugged in (although still with the above problem) and when i enable USB debugging it senses that there is a cable plugged in and says "USB debugging connected" but the computer can't see it and the phone never asks what i want to do with it when it's plugged in. I've played around with all the USB settings on the phone, tries 2 different cables, 2 computers and both winXP and Ubuntu.
any ideas?
Liambass.
I cannot connect my S3 to the PC with USB Debugging On. It keeps connecting and disconnecting every 2 seconds. Does anyone know why? I cannot root unless the PC recognises it. USB Debugging Off its good though. Drivers installed normally. This is very frustrating. I have plugged it in a different USB port, restarted both the phone and PC, used different cable etc.
The PC recognices it fine with USB Debugging Off. Once I turn it on and plug it in, it connects and disconnects every 2 seconds. HELP!!!
So, I got back this weekend and realized that the data connection over USB cables stopped working, even in recovery(PhilZ) mode.
Last weekend it was working fine, and throughout the week it was kept turned off with no disturbances.
ADB doesn't detect the phone.
Power is supplied normally, so the phone still charges. Computer plays the USB detected sound when plugging in/out.
Tried different cables, different computer, and verified that while it works normally on my One m8, it does not on my HOX.
On SlimKat rom, stock kernel.
Any help, guys? I'm really hoping it's not a hardware problem.
Hello to all!!
Let me describe the problem...
The tablet needs to be repeatedly plugged and unplugged for about 10min to start charging...the charger is detected as a USB device.
When I connect the tablet to the PC nothing happens, sometimes, just sometimes the tablet displays "High-power usb device connected", but if I put the tablet in download mode the connection always works, also if I connect the USB-flash device to the tablet the tablet recognise it.
The problem is the charger an the PC...the tablet just don't recognise them...!
I also tried *#0808# ... now I have the USB setting on MTP+ADB .... and I also tried different roms and the problem is always the same.
If anyone know what is going on, please let me know!
Thanks!
I am running the latest Android 13 QPR beta release. Ever since I updated, I've been having a connection issue in every app. Every 2 minutes or so, my phone "loses connection", regardless of Wi-Fi or data, regardless of signal strength, any app will struggle to connect for a few seconds. My phone doesn't actually lose connection, it's weird. Most apps will just reconnect and go on about it's business after about 10-15 seconds of connection issue, but some refuse to "reconnect", so I have to close the app and reopen. After weeks of this, I decided to reformat my phone and go back to the stable android 13 release, by opting out of the beta and receiving the OTA to go back to stable. I did this with the intention of installing a custom ROM.
However, the OTA took an abnormally long 2 hours to complete. Upon completion of the update, my phone gave the the installation successful message with a restart. Upon restarting, I was greeted with the bootloader and the message "No operating system installing. Cannot boot". After a few minutes of restarting and fumbling around to no avail, eventually it booted back into my beta build. I breathed a sigh of relief. This was, however, not the end.
At this point, I thought "that was frightening. Best off just to try to install the factory image through ADB". So I go on to plug in my USB cable, and I see the notification that USB was connected. I try to click the notification to switch to file transfer mode, and then it disappears, and Windows loses connection to my phone. I'm now no longer able to get my P6P to recognize that it is plugged into a computer, and my computer refuses to detect my phone. It does however charge off the PC connection though. I've tried updating drivers, switching cords (including the factory cable, the usb-c to a cable that I usually use with this phone with success), USB 2 ports, USB 3 ports, restarted my computer, factory reset my phone, quadruple checked USB debugging was enabled, and nothing seems to work.
I'm stuck on the beta build. Cannot do anything with ADB. Cannot do anything with recovery mode, as apply update from SD just returns an error. I'm hoping I'm just missing something simple. Are there any other suggestions or ways to get around needing a computer for anything?
Thanks for reading!
This can be closed. After hours of frustration, I tried a cord that doesn't seem like it should work. It's a "universal" cord (one with a micro-USB connection and an adapter for USB-C and lightning). Never give up, you never know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I always have mtp set as default. Better to be safe than sorry
I do, as well. Connection wasn't being detected on either side. I was also getting a pop-up on my computer saying something along the lines of "the last time this device was connected, it malfunctioned. Windows cannot recognize the device." That's why I initially thought drivers, and only tried a few cords. But I got desperate and reached deeper in the bin. Thanks for the pointer, though.
