I just recently went through this on 32bit Windows XP w/SP3 and the only way I could get the phone to be seen by the PC was to install Kies. Something about the drivers that Kies installs.... Once the phone was seen I was able to remove kies and the phone continues to be seen by the pc.... beats me.. but at least it works. May not be perfect, but it worked for me.
Hi,
I have had this issue for about a week now and I have no idea what I can do to remedy it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Basically the handset believes that it is connected via USB constantly, i.e. when there is no cable connected, or power connected.
If nothing is connected to the phone and I try to turn on USB debugging I get the pop up "Attention - USB is connected. remove the cable."
If I do connect a USB cable to PC, the computer nor the handset respond. So I cannot connect to my handset via usb.
If I turn the phone off, then it starts to show the battery charging screen (as if connected) and will slowly drain away the battery. On top of this the battery stats do not update, so I have no idea what the charge is in reality.
If the phone is off, the only way to boot it up is to hold the keys down to boot into Recovery Mode and reboot the phone through that.
This started suddenly when I was using the CM7 latest nightly 116. The weird thing is that I had been on 116 since its release (months ago) and changed nothing for this to suddenly occur.
I couldn't seem to fix it, so I thought I would upgrade to the CM9 latest to "just wipe over the issue". The problem continued through this build.
Still could not get rid of it, so I wiped everything and went back to the first backup I made, which is the stock ROM and the insecure kernel for root access. (First opportunity to do a back up after rooting).
I have tried another battery and the same issue was present.
Is anyone familiar with this issue? Is there something I can do to solve it?
If not, is there a way that I can add the stock kernel back without using USB or ODIN? as neither will recognize the phone is present. If I cant fix it I at least want to return it completely to stock before returning the phone to the store.
Thanks for reading!
Maybe issue with the USB receptacle, hardware failure, moisture inside or dirty contacts etc.
Try cleaning the contacts carefully with a something soft and moist with isopropyl alcohol.

Yep, I cleaned long and hard in the plug and it didn't help unfortunately.
Extract the kernel zImage and flash with Hellcat app HC-kTool from your sdcard.

I think mobile Odin lite will do it from sdcard too. Edit: Able to flash ROM (or selected parts with the pro version, just kernel with lite version.

Thanks, I have CWM on my phone and you reminded me!
Ok, So I am back to stock FW and Kernel. The issue is still here, guess it's of to the store for a replacement.
Thanks for your help UpInTheAir, it is appreciated.
I had a similar issue with my S1, which I still have. I suspect a drop of rain got into the port, but not sure because it played up for months.
Anyway, my home 3g modem blew up one day so I began using the S1 as a dedicated wifi modem (tethering). I left it constantly on power. A few weeks later I wanted to try and install ics on it (was bored). It connected to the computer first go and all problems have disappeared since. Have tested it many times now. Might have just been luck.
So, maybe just leave it plugged in for a day or two and see if it helps.

Me and my husband both have Verizon fascinates and mine has aokp m6 glitch..no probs...my husband is plain stock and he's been losing service and whatnot so i was going to reboot his rom still with stock
Now the problem...i can't get the PC to recognize his phone...reinstalled drivers etc...works for mine though...when i tried Odin the phone would go into download mode but Odin would not add it...but will mine...any ideas if why this may be happening?

I'm having the same problem. Does it connect to Odin while on in debugging mode? I was told that if it does to use abd to find out if the drivers are working correctly. Also does it pop up and says the the device has errored and can't connect?

I see this a lot. Sometimes its the cable, and sometimes its the phone itself. I had the hardest time getting Odin to work. It was a cable issue. I bought a BlackBerry data cable and voila! It was working again.

I've tried like 10 diff cables...and they'll all workfor my phone just not his...i don't know if i can access adb on his being it's not rooted or anything...and i can't root it without Odin recognizing it...when i connect it to mass storage the phone itself recognizes it's connected (sometimes)...but the pc just keeps saying it doesn't recognize the device...but once again it recognizes mine which is the same phone just diff rom kernel etc....
I'll prob just try messing with it some more being i was in the middle of the woods at 2am camping when i was trying to get it to work...maybe I'll have better luck...i know the phone got soaked but it was fine till like 2 weeks after when it started losing all carrier service until it would reboot itself
And he thought I'd have problems with my custom roms...ha!

I had the same issue with my fascinate. I discovered it was the cable.(my phone took a bath to. Last the vibrate but still runs like a champ) I ended up using my wife's kindle cable I tried like 4 til the kindle cable redeemed me from ics envy. Also, to get Odin to see your phone and trick windows 7 to install some generic "universal USB driver" you have to...
1. Launch Odin (I'm using version 3 something)
2. Connect phone to computer.
3. Power down phone.
4. 3 finger into stock recovery.
Odin should at this point see the port to his phone.
I had to do try everything til I discovered this. Also have you used mass storage or media sync with on his fascinate? Those are some drivers that the fascinate installs to get the path from phone to computer working.
Let me know if it works

Hey everyone. I have a question . Whats the odds of getting malicious activity installed into your phone from browsing websites?
The reason I ask is because I found out my phone's browser recently visited a website that I think might have had some malicious intentions and I have been a little paranoid and suspicious of it ever since. I installed some anti virus software (lookout, avg) and ran some scan's but it didnt find anything yet I dont believe those apps work well.
I did a full wipe in AMON recovery and reinstalled my ROM, would that clear my phone of malicious activity? or do I have to do a full RUU, which i have never done .. O_O .... I got my phone off swappa so it came with S-off already and the latest hboot.
I know a sure way of not freaking out is not to visit any sites that you think might have malicious code, but I already visited the site so now im just curious what to do or if I should even worry about it,
Anyone have some comments for me?
I don't know the odds, but you can get avast! for free. It also has theft options on it so you can wipe the phone etc if you lose it or it's stolen. I use the anti-virus on my laptop and have it on my phone as well, although I must say I haven't reinstalled it since my last ROM flash.
I would put that on and run a scan then set up blocking options.
I would just keep a backup on your PC and then surf to your heart's content. Then once a week you or any time you're worried, you can wipe everything and restore from the backup. The antivirus stuff eats up so much resources. I can see it on a computer where you have plenty of extra processing power and ram, plus it can take a long time to restore a PC. With your phone though, you can just set the phone to disallow non-play store apps plus you have superuser blocking things and how long does it really take to wipe and restore? Is it really worth the performance hit for antivirus? I don't really think it is, but that's just me.
Its just like any other "computer" out there. Yes there are virus for android out there and because this is technically a linux kernal, there are known virus that attack the linux kernal. odd are slimmer then say a PC but they are still there. The fun part is this. Just because it doesnt effect your phone doesnt mean you cant effect your computer. what i mean by this is if you just happen to download a windows virus, it wont do a damn thing to the phone, but as soon as you connect it to a windows computer or network to where it can spread..then bam..you just infected your home computer. I have seen this a billion times..so always make sure you have a good clean backup of your phone, and a good antivirus on your phone and computer. as i work in the comptuer industry and do security for goverment agencies as well, never take security lightly...just becuase its a phone, doesnt mean it cant get infected or infect other computers

I will grant that this is possible, although not at all probable. Let's assume you some how manage to get your phone infected, but it does not have any effect on the phone's operation/performance because it is a windows targeted ware. If you have antivirus software running on your PC when you plug in your phone, it should scan the device, find the ware and remove it. What is the problem? Even if it didn't, do you believe that phone antivirus software is better (i.e. more capable) than PC antivirus software? I do not. Antivirus software on a phone can be a massive drain on already limited resources. When all you have to do is keep a clean nandroid backup on your sd card and an additional copy on your PC, just in case, to be completely protected. It seems absurd, to me at least, to waste the time lagging on a daily basis. If you manage to infect your home computer with your phone, the failure was solely your PC antivirus software. Please bear in mind, this is my thinking for the average XDA forum junkie, not the average phone user. The chances of an average phone user reading this thread is slim to none. Also, please know that I do not mean any offense with this reply, and I definitely do not take security lightly, but in my experience (M.S Electrical Engineering, about to finish Ph.D in December) it seems like the whole phone virus subject is still more of a mole hill than a mountain at this time.

Oh I agree don't get me wrong the chances are slimmer to affect a PC from a phone. It does happen more then you think. There was a huge write up regarding that very thing if Linux apple based PC and phone are actually more secure and the chances of infecting a PC are still there. I've never actually fully tested an antivirus on a phone. I have read that some of them have cloud based signature reading so its not downloading hundred of mb worth of signature to your phone. Is it equal to a PC probably not but not testing I personally couldn't say. The limited res on a phone does put a bit into a av on a phone and the are red hogs. Is it worth it don't know. Do I use one. Nope I don't, but again I don't have a windows computer in my house and all my web traffic goes through a av devices so anything coming into my house gets scanned before it even touches my network. So I don't think about it to much

I was just reading some reviews of an app yesterday that said the app had malware that allowed it to send your phone number out to marketing lists, or something like that.
Found one of the reviews: "I started to install this app, when suddenly a message popped up from my TrustGo security app. "This app uses the MobWin ad network, which has the ability to read your phone number and leak it to third party advertisers." TrustGo rated it "high risk" and recommended uninstalling it."
Found two more that said AVG detected malware for that same app.
Any opinions on this?

That is possible. That's one of the reasons ppl get those random calls on their phone. It very well could be an app they installed. That's why its always a good idea to check the permissions when install apps. You would be surprised on what the most basic app has permissions too. There is an app can't think of it off hand that will allow you to modify those permissions for apps.

Was on Bonsai rom and was running fine. Noticed the phone acting kind of weird the last couple days and thought it may be related to Xposed or some of it's modules so I deleted all of them. That didn't fix the problem. The problem being that the battery icon in the the notification bar would randomly flicker and with it so would the touch keys. I'm pretty sure this only happened when I was attempting to charge my phone (in my car.)
Instead of getting the usual phone charging indication in the status bar I either got nothing or it would say that the phone was connected to the dock (WTF?) I ended up restoring a nandroid of an older Bonsai rom and for a few hours there were no problems but then it started happening again. At times I would get a reboot from just plugging in the USB cable to charge the phone (car or wall) Other times the phone would just freeze up.
I then did a full wipe and tried MAXIMUS rom. I plugged in the USB cable and attempted to sync the phone to my PC as I have done countless times just days ago but I was now getting a message that my USB device is not recognized. I did another clean flash and tried Steve's Odexed rom. Same story more or less. If I attempt to sync the phone to the PC I get the same not recognized message.
Here are the steps I have taken:
- tried numerous USB cables
- tried numerous charging ports (wall/car/PC)
- tried numerous roms (none will let my PC see the phone)
- reinstalled the Samsung USB drivers
I'm at the point where I'm thinking this is a hardware issue and I probably have to return this phone. However, before I jump the gun I wanted to see if anyone has input on this. I appreciate any advice u guys may have.
My initial thought s maybe a cheap car charger, then a bad USB cable, but you've already eliminated those options. When you backup /restore your backups, are you including the efs.? I also remember the option in Wanam to keep old efs, was that option checked while it was installed?

I'm pretty sure that when I backup and restore I have all the boxes check off. However, I not only used backups. I did clean flashes on two separate roms but both had the same issue. I'm still on the fence as to whether this is software or hardware

If it fails to recognize your device in Odin mode, you should be able to remove the battery, reinsert it and reboot to your system. No harm, no fowl.

Sounds like a Windows driver issue. Could be unrelated to your phone.
What Version of Windows are you running? What do you see when you plug in your device when you go into Windows device manager?
Have you installed any new Android devices of the Nexus variety on your computer?
Alright, I'll assume that you're asleep. I agree, you may not want to do PC Odin if your computer isn't recognizing your device.
Go into device manager (right click on My Computer, select Manage, go to device manager from there). Do you see your device? Do you see any Android device? If so, do either have a yellow question mark adjacent the device name? Either way, delete the device if present, then reboot your PC.
Now plug your phone into your computer using a different USB port on the machine (cable we'll assume is fine). Your computer should automatically recognize the phone. If yes, profit.
Also check that USB debugging is set to on. If recognized and the phone is plugged in, deselect MTP device and choose the photo option. Then select MTP again.
If the above doesn't work, you can try rolling back drivers and reinstalling.
Let me know if this helps.

Mic, thanks for taking the time for taking a look at this Q&A. I'm on Windows 7. Under DEVICE MANAGER it says UNKNOWN DEVICE with a yellow triangle with a exclamation point inside. When I click on that icon this is what I get for device status: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
I went through all your steps but it hasn't worked. I get the same message in DEVICE MANAGER before and after doing your steps.
As far as the phone is concerned (running Steve's Odexed) it indicates that the phone is charging but it doesn't have the usual MTP message in the status bar. Simply indicates that it's charging.
Is it safe to assume this is a hardware problem with the phone? The only thing I can think of that could have caused this is the other day my car charger (part that goes in the phone) fell in some water that accumulated on the rubber car mat. I dried it off with a napkin and plugged it back into my phone. These problems happened a day or two after this incident. Not sure if it's the reason. I was leaning towards blaming it on Xposed modules that got updated.
Nope, Not Safe to Assume...

Hi, SantinoInc, let us hope that the car charger issue and your Code 43 is a cum hoc ergo propter hoc (with this, therefore because of this) fallacy, or a non-correlated set of phenomena that, though happening contemporaneously, does not mean (though one is enticed to infer) causality.
The Code 43 error is a Windows issue, and if you are using a laptop (I hope), turn off the computer, take out the battery, let it discharge for 10 minutes, slap your laptop battery back in, boot up, plug in the phone, it's alive (I'm hoping). The USB controller on your computer actually holds a small amount of charge for rapid use when the computer is started, which can corrupt the port and driver. Draining the charge and pulling the battery is required to get rid of the problem.
Report back and let us know if this works for you.

Google the error code you flipped me. You'll find that it most certainly looks like a USB controller issue. Tom's Hardware and Microsoft look to have the info you need, bro.

I had this issue as well, not with the same phone symptoms, but in windows.
Remove the driver, go to samsung's site, download and re-install the latest driver. Also make sure you are connecting directly to the ports on your motherboard and not on the front of the PC or a USB hub on something like your monitor. Also make sure you are using the cable provided by samsung if possible. 3rd party cables for some reason can cause issues. (Thank god for standards to specifications

Of course I can't find either of the two laptops I own to test this POS phone out. If I get the same error another PC I'm going to take the phone to Sprint to get it replaced. I'm really feeling that this is hardware related considering I have not installed any new phone drivers to my PC at all and have made no significant changes to the PC.

Agreed; any PC would be suffice to determine if it is phone related. I'd almost be inclined to hop in the car and hit a Best Buy store and be done with it, like now....
