Have picked up a second hand TG01, the power cable is loose as is the usb cable.
When connected via usb active sync and charging drops after a short period of time.
Is this a common issue? are there any fixes? Does anyone know which pin in the mini usb deals with sync?
thanks

I have had this problem as well
had? Did you manage to fix it?
As far as i know I dont think so. you probable have afaulty usb cable.
try blutoothe activesync perhaps? or buy a new cable from ebay they are very cheap!
had the same Problem, so I changed to BT
anoying on big files ->> so a solution would be handy
My ActiveSync also keeps dropping, I have new cables but its still the same.
Sometimes its fine for hours and other times it dies after a few minutes but what I do is to open settings, connections and usb-pc and change to mass storage mode then change back to ActiveSync.
Tried different roms (6.1 seems to last the longest) on different machines and with different cables but nothing seems to work reliably.

That's a known problem with TG01. I prefer using Wifi connection with Pocket Controller
I know you can use BT/WiFi but they suck the battery
I like to let my TG01 'trickle charge' from USB especially considering the small battery Toshiba gave us.

Sorry, I don't understand. USB charge always works for me (orange led lighting) don't matter if connection works or not! Even with USB connection switched to mass storage.

yes, pere- on my tg01 too!
Hi guys, yes usb charging works for me and when in mass storage mode but I dont want to connect via wifi/bt when activesync dies.
I would prefer for the TG01 not to keep loosing the activesync connection
To solve this, i restart my TG01. Right after the restart, i can transfer big files or list huge directories (\Windows i.e.) without connection Loss.
mine doesnt actually connect with the phone in mass storage mode, the connection is REALLY temperamental even on a mains charger - once its connected its fine but I sometimes have to try 20+ times before it starts charging.
I have also tried a new charger and a different usb cable.
This evening having fully charged it I have just installed the 6.1 mirom14 to see if it is any better but no *sob*

when phone is plugged into PC it will not show a usb connection on the phone it just charges the device the computer also does not see the phone. I have also plugged it into my macbook and nothing happens. Anyone else have this problem or any solutions?
What's your ROM?
when you put the usb in the charging port on the TB, does it feel wiggly or loose to you? It's supposed to be a solid connection. My last TB was loose in the charging port and would do the same thing
usb
try another cable, try taking out the card and putting it in the pc, the data pins might not be establishing a connection
Hey guys after trying everything possible and seeing that my buddys TB connects fine i took it to Verizon and their sending a new one in the mail hopefully that solves everything
I have the same problem, computer will charge but not recognize usb connection nor will phone recognize connection? Have had this problem across multiple roms thinking it was software problem but to no avail. Have tried multiple cables and computers? My connector appears to be in good condition visually , which probably doesn't mean much. Just wondered if anyone could think of another possibility before I lean towards hardware problem?
Had this issue before get a new cable if that doesnt work idk thats all i had to do.
I've tried 4 cables and 3 computers and 3 roms.... Guess It's a hardware problem.
had the same issue and it was hardware and my phone was replaced by Verizon.
Sometimes if you don't plug into the usb 2.0 port, things can get fishy. Usually the 2.0 port is alone opposite of the other usb ports on laptops.
Yesterday I plugged my phone into my PC and went to set it to mount as mass storage but the USB connected notification wasn't there. The phone charged fine off the USB, just didn't see the PC.
I thought this may be a PC issue until going to use it on my HD Multimedia dock, phone wouldn't recognize the dock was attached. Then went and tried it in the car dock, same thing, phone charged but didn't go into cardock mode.
Also not sure if this is related but since then battery has been discharging quite quickly.
Please help.

Bruce.
Hi, did you use the original cable ?
I noticed that the cable from my galaxy S II didn't work with the razr droid !

This will probably solve ur problem:
Uninstall all motorola from PC
Reinstall motocast 1.29
Connect ur razr in every mode, and wait it reinstall the drivers.
Cheers
Thanks, but it's the phone that's not recognizing the usb cable is plugged in. I've tried it on three PCs and the darn thing will only charge, not give usb connection options.
Get a small paintbrush and a can of Dust-Off or other compressed-gas sprayer.
Hold the phone between your knees with the USB port up. Swirl the brush around inside the USB jack while blowing air into it at the same time.
Try it now.
Micro USB jacks have a very nasty habit of collecting pocket lint. It can prevent the cables/plugs on any device from making a solid electrical contact.
This will likely become a routine operation that you perform once a week or so.
You can buy micro-USB rubber plugs that protect a female jack from damage and dirt. You should try the usual places to find one; Amazon, DigiKey, Fry's, JameCo, etc.
If this doesn't get it, you may be looking at either replacing the jack (if you can un/solder very small things), or replacing the phone itself.
PS: If you have geeky friends who like pranks, get a high-powered magnifying glass and check for Scotch Tape on the USB jack contacts. I've done this to an obnoxious iPhone FanBoyz phone before. I confessed before his battery was completely dead...

Did anyone ever find a solution to this? I'm having the exact same issue, have tried clearing out the USB port, different cables and every port on my PC. It charges on connection but doesn't recognise that it is connected to a computer rather than a power port.
Any advice?

Are you on stock or custom rom ?

Stock. I'm thinking of doing a factory reset as it has been freezing a lot recently and I suspect its a software issue, but I was hoping to do a proper backup first, however I lost root a while ago when I updated to ICS . I don't know if the freezing and not recognising computer could be two sides of the same issue?
Hello, i am new to xda-developers, so please have patience with me
I was using my original usb cable to charge my phone from my laptop. But one day some strange things started to happen, when my phone's battery was completely depleted i connected the usb and phone started turning on and off very often and I wasn't able to charge it even a bit. When connected to wall socket charger everything seems to be fine, it's charging.
But now the usb is not working, neither computer sees it (before i used it), i used other cables, no good. Now it's original ginderbread ROM, maybe i should reinstall it, but i can't do anything since usb is not working in any way.
Maybe someone of you had similar problems and know how to solve it?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick reply!
I tried cleaning it with Tooth Brush and even used special liquid for cleaning electronics contacts and corrosion removal, everything seems to be clean. But still nothing happens when connecting to laptop.
P.S. Same cable is working when charging from wall socket charger, so it seems the contacts must be clean and intact (at least power supply contacts), so maybe it should charge from laptop?
P.S.S. I forgot to mention, when the phone's battery is depleted, when i connect to laptop, it doesn't charge but in time phone becomes hot. So maybe this would prove it's a hardware problem?
Try different laptop USB port. If this doesnt help than probably your data cable is faulty. Just replace it with another one.
I think Your phone is fully operational if AC charging without any problems.

I have already tried different laptop ports, even different laptops, already tried with different cables (which all functioning properly with other devices and all are marked U2). I am pretty sure that's not connection / cable problem.
Hi all, my lumia 920, does not recharge any more when plugged in USB cable.
It isn’t even recognized by my PC. It seems the USB plug is dead, regardless wich cable I use.
Is there any possibility to get it working??
The problem is that I live in spain now, and bought the lumia in germany, so there’s no way to bring it to customer service. Anyways I don’t even like customer service, because they give you the phone back in bad conditions, with scratches and even bad mounted parts, like display etc..
Thanks everyone for the support!

Sounds like the USB port is damaged, why are you even using the USB when this phone has wireless charging? Just get a wireless charger and don't worry about it. You can share stuff between it and your PC by using the cloud.

The microusb port on this phone is soldered in a weird way from others. All it takes is a pull from the side on the cord while it is plugged in and the connections on the PCB can be broken. This phone is not Android and therefore the charging is not software controlled. it can be totally dead and will still charge through USB and wireless as the wireless base will supply power as it charges.
No this sounds like a hardware issue so you should try to get a warranty claim on it and hope you have the extended warranty as damage caused by use or handling is not covered by Nokia's warranty.
i have a semilar problem.
After a total discharge of my battery (I used it as navigation in the car but forgot to plug the power) my Lumia 920 wouldn't reboot (it gives a red battery). Nothing worked to bring i back alive (i did a soft reset and even hard reset!) but when i got home the wireless charger worked. (
But still nothing on the USB plug. My first conclusion: USB port dead. But when i plug in my powercable the Phone gets warm as it is charging. One more test i did is. When i place i on the wireless charger (charging starts) and then connect the USB to (for example my Laptop) charging stops. Next simple conclusion "USB port is okay", but maybe it's because of som battery security feature (bug)?
Anyone??
Hello, I am having trouble with my computer recognizing my gear s, and yes it has the USB debugging option checked. I have tried on my Mac and my PC-Windows computer. Is anyone else having this issue..or does someone know a solution?

A - 85%. The usb cable is not compatible or is defective. I have 5+ microUSB cables that are known good charging cables but they don't work for data. They are like that by design as they are for charging only, they come with things that will never use a data connection, such as a battery powered keyboard w/rechargeable internal battery or bluetooth headphones that only adopt the microUSB connection for power but look just like every other microUSB cable.
B - 10%. No drivers installed*. Have you checked down by the clock in windows to see if its trying to install drivers? If its an older PC where Windows Updates are disabled and the pc is set to not look online for drivers, this is possible, but highly unlikely since it doesn't work on the MAC. Also, usb debugging isn't needed in most cases. Even with that disabled, you should still be able to see the watch and the 4 basic folders.
*in the highly unlikely event that you really do need windows drivers, download here.
C - 5%. Have you messed with the watch before? eg; rooting or anything like that? If so, its RARE but has happened where in 1/30 cases after trying to flash something or rooting that the watch becomes unresponsive to data on the usb connection. If thats the case, rebooting into recovery mode will very correct your issue.
There ya go..... in order of probability.
I also have quite a few of cables. The ones that I use for data I have them marked. As stated by cipher.....cables might look the same but don't function the same.
Thanks
