Is it possible, on way or another to connect USB devices to the BA?
SDIO doesn't seem to be possible since the power is too low.
Any other possibilities, i would like to connect my USB 802.11g WiFi adapter to it (it has windows mobile drivers).
I also read somewhere about a Sync 'N' Charge cable, does that do anything?

Thanks
From device discription it looks that the the cable support USB host. but i m not sure How the BA get 4.5v to run the usb devices.
The cable has a power input.
will the normal charger is applicable to that input?? cause there is no power adaptor with the cable.
if the normal charger fits that port, i will definetely order that, just as a spare charger part, because i highlz doubt to get the ba as a usb host, and if it worked at all, then only with proper drivers and also probably just with power connected, i don't see a connection with any usb storage stick, but as mentioned before, i will give it a try, as soon as i know about shipping to germany.
Plugged my usb cord into my computer and it says to be plug into ac adapter cause usb is not sufficient enough to charge. It shows that it's charging but when I lock the screen and didn't even touch it with usb connected to the computer my battery just dies and its set to charge only.
Sound like your computer's USB port is screwed up and is not outputting enough current to charge the device.
If you have a powered USB hub handy, plug it into that, or try another USB port on your computer.
I'll see if that works just weird though since I was using the same port for my previous 3 phones and they would charge pretty fast but not this time.
whats odd is my gf just texted me and said that her cable isnt charging her phone at all. i'm going to have to go pick up her charger and stuff and test/return it.
Prob , you don't have the driver's installed .
My battery reading is really inconsistent was charger on a outlet said 28% rebooted then said 78% rebooted a couple of mins later and now it says 60%

This particular phone may need the entire 500mA of current that USB ports are supposed to capable of supplying. The error on the computer may be because when the phone connects, and tells the computer that it wants 500mA of current, one of three things happens:
1.) The computer says no and throws an error.
2.) The computer said yes, but when the phone actually tries to draw the current, the hardware of the computer can't provide it.
3.) The Amaze doesn't ask if it's okay to draw 500mA (to which the PC may respond no), and just starts drawing the current, causing a hardware fault on the computer.
Your previous phones may not have required as much current, therefore not causing any issues.
I don't know this for sure, but I've done some programming with USB drivers and I know that "handshake" when a device plugs in, does happen.
Happened to me to. Same thing with the notice to use wall charger. Dumb. All my other phones work with PC. Just not this one.
Just had this happen, except...
* I didn't get the "you should plug into a wall" message
* Using the USB of the computer seemed to *suck* power from the phone; anti-charging, if you will.
I've got a wallcharger on it now. Maybe tomorrow I'll try my USB3 port for it...
The USB3 didn't help...
what drivers do I need to install? My G2 charged just fine on this computer.
What I have going on now is an older USB "y" cable for an external hard drive; one side of the "y" is data + power, the other is just power. I've got the "just power" side of the "Y" plugged into a wall jack...charges fine now.

Guys, i found the solution, by trial and error...
forget about USB 3.0, drivers, micro/mini USb, app tweaks, AC usb charger etc.... You know what turned out to be the culprit ??
THE CABLE !
I realized that this charging issue happened only when using the aftermarket cable i bought from ebay, as an extra one to have on hand. While the backup cable was also OEM. (i could tell from the corn-plastic bag it came in...)
And all along it has worked fine for data transfer, sync etc, and also when charging it does in fact say it's charging... - only thing in actual it's draining.
So i downloaded the 'battery monitor widget' and kept a close eye on the mA number as i tried out different combinations of cables, stock and aftermarket along with stock and aftermarket AC chargers i had and all USB ports on my laptop.
With the cable from ebay mA was rather in negative using with all power sources, including USB.
With the stock cable from the box, it was a steady +200 to +350 on USB power, +400 to +700 on AC power.
Now the after market cable is also OEM, but it appears to be for another HTC phone, that the HTC Amaze 4G doesn't accept.
Also if your AC charger is model TC E250 it's only gonna show up as USB and not AC in battery status.
You need AC charger model TC U250 for the HTC Amaze 4G to be fired up.
There! That was what was wrong.
Hope this helps.
Last month I bought an LG Optimus Hub and I have several problems. The first is that the USB port doesn't seem to work. When I plug in the USB cable (any cable) it starts charging but when I remove it, the phone thinks the cable is still plugged and charging all the time. It's the same with the data cable and any charge cable (sans data pins). The phone also would not recognize the data cable plugged, nor does the PC. I know the port does not work but this might still a sw problem. Is there a way to root the phone via WiFi or Bluetooth? If I can do that, I won't mind if the USB port does not work. Else I'll take it to tech repair -and I'm scared of those guys as hell! They don't know anything and keep sending back the same phone with the same problem saying it's either "repaired" or "mobo changed".
Hello, I received a Verizon galaxy s4 for screen repair. After replacing the screen I tested the device and it worked fine. The issue that I encountered was the USB port, I would connect it to the phone and it would not charge it nor would it show up on the PC. I though it could be a faulty USB Port on the device, so I ordered a replacement and replaced it. Yet I still have this issue, even while using a brand new USB port/ribbon/connector. Does not matter if i connected it to a wall charger, car charger, battery charger, or to the computer, it will not read the connection and will not charge or show up in the computer.
I need help in fixing this issue, I really don't know what to try and cant even think of possible things that are causing this. Don't know if this is a hardware issue or software issue.
Hello all,

Im unable to use my phone as USB Mass storage device. When i connect my phone to PC sometimes im getting as USB device not recognized and sometimes im not. I tried different PCs and different cables. ITs ONLY CHARGING
tried cleaning the micro usb port, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers in Pcs but it didnt work.
I switched off my phone, removed mem card, reinserted it, swithced it on again, connected my phone to PC(in sleep mode)
phone is detected as storage device and got notification in notification panel to select as charge only/files mode/ photos mode.
After ejecting and removing cable again back to issue. No detection. OTG also not detected. No Data transfers are being made but its only charging( even through Car USB port)
Anybody facing USB not recognised problem ? i hope its software related.
could anyone let me know of solution.
Thanks.
I am also facing the same issue
I thought I was alone in this issue.
Basically, my problem is, the wall charging and USB connect are reversed. i.e., I connect my wall charger, its showing as USB mode and when I connect the cable to a PC, its showing as AC Charging. I tested with Ampere app and when I connect to AC Charger, it is drawing only around 300mA(like it would do if connected to USB) and its drawing around 1.5A(like it would do when connected to wall charger) when connected to USB PC.
I have been having this issue for quite sometime and recently, I had upgraded to Marshmallow through OTA upgrade. I thought atleast this upgrade would fix this issue but I am still facing the same issue. I even contacted the customer care and nothing useful advice other than restoring to factory settings was suggested(which I tried and didn't work).
I guess it should be some software issue but don't know what it is or how to fix it. Any inputs would be welcome.
