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 work in IT, and have been given two of these phones that both have their own problems. I finally found a disassembly guide at http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor_htc_star_trek/
The one phone has no charging port at all. The other phone has a broken external LCD screen. So I want to move the working external LCD from the phone with the broken proprietary usb port to the phone with the broken screen. In theory I should have a working phone.
Now I don't have any wall charger for this phone (blasted proprietary port!) But I have the usb sync cable that fits the phone. I tried plugging this into 4 different USB ports and none of them will charge the dang thing. I guess my question is, does the USB sync cable charge the STAR100? I have two batteries here that are dead (they sat around for months). I know my Cingular 8525 Hermes charges via the USB port (although that port is very flaky, I use a desktop charger).
So am I out of luck, or do I need to get a wall charger? I could find one at work to test tomorrow, but I would of liked to test it now.
move
instead of doing that, move the working control board from the one with the good charging port to the other one, it will be much easier and yes you can use the usb to charge.
Thanks I got it to work.
Today at work I sourced a wall charger. That made the LED light red on the phone, after awhile it turned orange, then green (after about 4+ hours). Now it appears to charge off the USB cable at home.
Now if I can only figure out how to get a T-Mobile sim to work in it, without paying an unlocking service (I have enough bills to pay with a wedding coming up this October).
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.
I cannot seem to get the phone to identify on the PC with anything but the Samsung USB cable.
The problem is... I think I already lost it.
I have 4 basically new microUSB cables from various sources and none of them will do anything but charge.
WTheck has samsung done?
Did you try changing the mode on your phone from Change Only to the Hard Drive one once you connect it?
Try a different USB port. This phone works on every USB cable I have in my possession.
i find mine charges really slow unless i use the samsung one:/

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Because the phone only charges it does not adapt a mode and therefore wont' let me change it.
edit: fixed it. Problem was I used a program to try and turn on UMS mode and it wasn't working. Wouldn't do any other mode until I turned it back.
But I still have had problems usb cables. The one with my Nook for example wont work at all and it worked with both my nook and my atrix.
S3 wont even recognize on a mac.
surprize me with something amazing android your boring me.
Mine works with the Sensation cable on my main PC, my G2X cable on my laptop and with my Lumia cable in my gym (charger). It also works fine at work with a generic cable (on a PC). Either your phone or your cable is defective.
EDIT: make sure your drivers are up to date on your PC.
Mine works fine with BlackBerry/HTC/HP cables.
Just rooted and flashed the omni rom (love it btw) I plugged my phone up to my laptop and nothing, then my PC and nothing again. The phone charges off both though.
Thanks
Are you sure the cable is good? I've had experiences with some cables that only charged the phone and couldn't transfer data.
I have similar
Almost like the USB port gets a little loose with gravity. If I rest the phone and the cable on the desk, I can't maintain the USB connection. If I put the phone near the edge, and let the cable hang over, it puts just enough torque for the data connection to work.
Happens no matter what cables I use.
I've thought about asking HTC, but I have a feeling it means it goes in for repairs.
Hello all,
Honor 7,
PLK-UL00
B341 and EMUI 4.0
Android 6.0
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.
