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.

Have you tried other USB cables? I have the same problem with my stock USB cable too and thought there might be something wrong with my phone, but then I tried a different USB cable and it held on well.

This was my experience as well. Try other cables before you swap out your phone! :good:
The same with my cable. I guess they did it on purpose, that whenever your phone is 'tugged' the usb cable will be released instead of your movement being violently restricted by the force of the cable, which may cause you to drop your phone.
Any way, i bought a 3rd party flat USB cable which length exceeds 3 - 4 times the original cable , and it fits tightly in my phone's USB port. So i believe it is cable related.
I have the same problem, I guess it's just the one they sent. Oh well.
I did buy another cable, however I noticed that charging becomes extremely slow with it. I'm hoping to be able to find a better one that can support the higher charge needed for the phone, in the meantime I'll be leaving the phone down while charging I guess.

+1 same thing for me too. I was so worried thought it was a problem with the charging port but it seems the problem is with the charger cable. Using other cable is no issues.
Obviously it pops out very easy. I'm on my 3rd Samsung Micro USB cable, all are same.
But then I've tried my friends Galaxy Ace cable and it was fine. So you just buy a different Micro USB cable which will have same 2A output like stock one.

I. too, was worried when i first got the fone.... but it's the stock cable... tried another cable from another brand/manufacturer and it fits perfect.
I seem to be quite lucky. My stock cable fits nice and snug. I can even dangle the phone upside down holding only the cable and it wont come out unless I swing it or tug it harder lol
If you compare the stock cable with other cables you'll see that the plug on the stock cable is usually shorter than other cables by a millimetre or 2 so the little prongs on the plug probably arent grabbing onto the slots of the phone
Mine 2. I just stick blue tack on it

Yup, same here. I find the cable that came with my wife's Kindle is the best fit - needs a real pull to detach it!

Audio & USB Storage Stopped Working

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.

Charging/data transfer works only on one side of USB-C on the phone

Hi all,
I'm seeing this issue in the last 24 hours. The cable provided in the box is working only on one side when inserted into the phone. The brick's end has no problem.
Checked with USB-A to C cable, no issues. Checked with USB-A to C with the USB-C to A adaptor provided in the box, no issues even with with the adaptor inserted in the brick; doesn't work with adaptor inserted into the phone.
USB OTG Is not working - shows "Charging connected device via USB"; I remove the USB pen-drive and the phone restarts.
USB-C audio dongle not recognized at all.
What can be the fault? I even tried the restart, safe mode and powered off - same this everywhere.

Of course and what do I do about the OTG USB-A Female to USB-C Male adaptor and the USB-C to 3.5mm Dongle? Change them also? Not to sound cocky, but your response says that you have not read my post.

I'm having the same problem, I think it started with the last update. I'm not able to transfer files from my windows 10 laptop to my phone anymore also.
Try cleaning the port on the phone. It happened to me before. Switch off the phone, then push some tissue paper into the port with the help of a pin, you will be surprised how dirty the port is.
Same thing here with the stock cable, I can`t say anything on the dongle or adapter, I will update to Pie later to see if this solve this issue.

Yes! Cleaned port with tissue and pin, now charge cord works and it connects to laptop with USB.
Thanks!
Well Google has taken my phone along with all accessories and the box for service. Fingers crossed now.

Usb C problem

Hi everyone.
I have my Pixel 2Xl for about 2 Years and everytime I put it on the charger the OG USB C Cable falls out of the port. Do anybody know how to fix it or do you know any USB C Cable that have a bigger USB C Pin so that the cable doesn't fall out every time?
Thanks
Have you checked very carefully that there is no crud in the usb port, you can use a pin and may be surprised on what is in there, my thinking is that it is possible dirt may be stopping a good connection.
Yes I have check the port. The Problem is that the cable fall out of the phone and I have test the feature with 3 different cables and every cable fall out
Had the same problem. Get a sim ejector tool, and use it to remove the gunk from your charging port. It wouldnt be visible as such, but you might be able to "feel" it as the base of the port would appear uneven when you move the ejector tool`s pin around. You would be surprised to see how much gunk and lint is there in your port. Once properly cleaned, your cable should start clicking in properly.
A safer method is to clean the gunk with a tooth floss stick.
