Try a different usb cable, different usb port, reboot pc and try a different pc. if none if these fix it it is the TP2 but to check if hardware or software you may need to do a hardreset.

so many thanks for you interest in found a solution, but I already try that too,
I don't use windows, I use osx or linux, when I connected the phone to any so, always ask "active sync, disk or share internet", but now, nothing happen, only change the battery charge light.
this is very weird for me, I really care my phone, is my baby , is my business tool my partner, without it I can not work, I mean, I realy care it, never a fall, never a strike, I don't understand what happen
PS: anybody sell a TP2?

Sorry I couldnt help you out bro... I know wha you mean about these devices... i go thru withdrawl if i leave my phone at home just to run to the store... lol...
I have a tmo tp2 im using right now i looking to get rid of it only because im on att and cant use 3g with the tmo phone.
dont have n e pix yet but its in really good condition. i have it in the silicon case bought from tmo and selling it with a 2gb micro sd. my father had a warrenty exchange right b4 he gave it to me. shoot me a pm if ur interested

This same exact thing happened to me on my Touch Pro 1. It just stopped working. I even called to get RMA info, but never got around to sending it back.
Then suddenly one day, it started working again. I have no idea why. One thing that I did notice though was that the contacts seemed to not work so well... like, if I pushed the cable to one side or another, I could get it to make contact... but eventually it started working just fine without any issues.
It's still one of the world's most compelling mysteries. It will unfortunately never be solved, since I have switched to a TP2.

Same exact issue as mine. I had to return mine. The new one worked perfectly. The reason I think mine went out was a 3rd party charger. Did you happen to use a 3rd party charger to charge your phone?

[Q] USB port likely broken, does it require soldering?

I bought a used t989 online, and it's USB port is acting up. When it sits on the charger it will keep firing up beeping noises indicating charger connected/disconnected. I am not able to connect it for data transfer obviously. I try to hold it in every directiong but it has no effect. I assume my USB port is broken. Anything else I should try (I've tried 4 different cables, same behavior)?
How hard is it to replace this part? Does it require soldering? I've found it for sale online here http://www.ebay.com/itm/2X-SAMSUNG-...ro-USB-Charging-Port-/221131664862#vi-content unless anyone knows of a better outlet.
Many thanks

Here you go, hope this helps!

Well thanks, but it was something I hoped to do myself. Are you a rep for MTV? If the price could come down to 25 it would be less of a choice.

Ok.
Hoping someone else can shed some more light onto this. Google and XDA haven't turned up much, but maybe there is a hidden thread that wasn't indexed appropriately. Here's to hoping I can get some help, and that this one will be.

Do those pins indicate the need for soldering?

I'm trying to figure this out myself.
I'm starting to think it does, but I can't seem to make any progress with my soldering iron. I don't know if it's a week iron, or im hitting the wrong spots.
OP- have you any progress?

Any progress?
Wondering if the OP got his port swapped out. If so, did it help?
I have the same problem. Mine wouldn't even charge at first though. I re flowed the solder on the port connections. After that it will charge but not connect to PC.
I'm thinking there may be a bad connection inside the port itself.
Anyone else had this problem?
Thanks

[Q] USB Problem

Hello Everyone, I'm using Galaxy Nexus GSM Version and I was using Purity Rom for a while, yesterday everything was working fine but today there occurred a problem.
1. I Can't connect my phone to my PC via usb.
It just charges it and Windows (windows xp) says it can't recognize the device. Then the screen starts flickering when i connect it.
I tried many different ports and wires, nothing happened.
2. While using my charger, it charges my phone only when its switched off, doesn't charge when the phone is booted up.
This whole problem occurred twice many many weeks ago and got solved automatically, this time its not helping.
So I wanted to ask you experts what to do? This time it's taking too long, i flashed AK Kernel too, flashed PA (these things were luckily there in my sd card)
I can't use net too due some network failure here, please help me.
Thanks a lot in Advance.

Thanks mate, but I'm a bit worried, my phone isn't in warranty and I scare that something bad has happened?
but i will try this, actually I've reinstalled the drivers and all such stuffs, still no progress, so its just a dust issue right?

it might be dust or not.
if not, Look inside the USB port and you will see a "tab" there. Lever this up gently (after removing the battery) towards the centre of the port.
P.S. read this thread

WHOA!
I did that and it worked! I gently scrated the pins of the battery and the corners of the usb pins. Currently its showing connection icons but can't access the files via PC, but still, its charging from every port plus my charger is working!

Glad to hear that :thumbup:

root nexus without using usb cable?

hi. i want to root my nexus but the usb port of the device doesn't work anymore after i tripped over the usb cable while it was charging. now the device isn't recognized by windows(and mac too), so i can't connect it to my pc. is there a way to root the device wirelessly?

If you have WIFI, then you can download any number of utilities designed to do this. There's even one that allows you to do adb over wifi.
Google is your friend.

haven't found any app that doesn't require root or one-time usb connection before connecting through wifi. can you provide links to the utilities you're reffering to?

By Googling "root without usb" here are some of the results. Please note that I haven't vetted any of them for malware, etc. So, be careful:

What exactly was wrong with the great answer to your question in the post above yours? All three links provided you in that post are viable options. You have a unique problem, if you don't want to do any reading, learning, or work to solve it, good luck, your tab isn't going to root itself. Your best option is to just repair the USB port yourself with replacement OEM parts. I've done it myself on a couple devices, not that hard.

none of the links worked. quickdraw86 the couple devices you repaired were n7 2013? bc there's a big chance to crack the back cover.

Ah. That makes sense. I replaced USB ports on falcon, toro, and n7 2013, yeah. You're right about the back cover, just need to be careful, and, besides that, i didn't care about cracking the cover at that point, my tab was almost unusable without USB port working. EBay has some decent deals on parts, I have a "cadaver" flo at home I can salvage from if need be for repair purposes.

i thought about replacing the usb port, but my n7 is in mint condition and didn't want to crack the back cover. alligator_asl you the man! thanks everyone for your help.

Persistent sound issue no matter what

I've done just about everything. There's a log cat below. EVERY ROM, EVERY KERNEL STOCK OR CUSTOM, this issue is there after the first reboot. Im only going to answer every question that goes like "have you tried...." With a full rundown of what I did and results. I will remind I've tried every custom nougat rom, stock or custom and I've tried stock marshmallow rom to. Also some roms haven't even had sound on first boot. Some roms will work for a bit then they will do a soft reboot that takes 30-45 minutes to complete. Then have no sound. I'm open to taking my phone apart since my screen is fu*ked up. Im begging at this point I love this phone, I've had it for 2 months, I don't want to have to buy another one.

Tried unbrick tool yet? That may have a slightly different effect than just flashing stock ROM (as it completely nukes the device and installs everything again).
Anyways, you may have a hardware issue. In that case taking the phone apart won't do much ... You can only check the connections, that's about it.

I did actually brick it awhile back trying to solve that damn sound issue. I used the mega unbrick guide to fix it, I can try again. Cause hell who knows it might fix it. Thanks for the recommendations.

Found out it is hardware i narrowed it to the aux port board which is what the fingerprint sensor, microphone, speaker connect to. I'm ordering a new part tomorrow for it

Did you find any solution? Im having the same issue and trying to figure out how to fix tihs
