Title is fairly self explanatory, but I think this is pretty much the end for me. My USB port and cable are both broken, thus breaking my access to PC companion and flashtool as well. Mow I can only watch my phone sit there with the sony ericsson logo
I have ordered another USB cable from ebay, putting my grave hopes on it and here, if anyone knows of any help, please do let me know.
Thanks

I am almost sure that resoldering the usb port is unavoidable. You cant flash anything without it, and also you will have problems with how to charge it (yes, even there are DIY solution for that...).
Hope you will have damaged only cable, not whole port.

Today I wanted to charge my phone via USB. But now it is discharging. Why ? I'm using another microUSB cable, not original one. Phone says charging(USB) but i've lost 40% so far.
Mine does this too - I've found turning it off, letting it charge for a bit in the off state, then turning it back on again gets it to charge properly again
I have read many threads around the web, and there seems to be many errors concerning charging errors with the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro.
In my case it was the usb micro cable it self.
Day 1
I received the mob.
Charged it to full, using usb cable and AC/DC/USB-adapter, while i was turned on.
Day 2
Checked out the mob until there was only 15% left on the battery indicator.
Trying to charge just like day1...faliure...nothing happens :-(
Trying to charge via PC...faliure...nothing happens :-(
Trying to charge just like day1 with mob turned off...succes...it is charging
I let it charge to the next day.
Day 3.
Morning...i can see it has stopped charging...it must be full ?
I turn on the mob.
Nope only 46% ??? Damn.
I try charging while on, via adapter and PC...faliure :-(
I leave it on the table for about 2 hours and then come back.
I plug out the cable and...hmmm...the micro connector is a bit warm...hmmm
The mob i cold all over...it might be the cable thats faulty
I get my HTC HD2 usb micro cable...plug it in...and plug it to adapter
Succes Its charging...also via PC.
It seems:
The standard SE micro usb cable (that we are warned, only to use) is faulty.
I have read that many, have got their mob back from service repair, and i still dosent work ? Time after time.
It must be because, the service repair center is using their own micro usb cable, and there by not discovering what the real error is....the standard cable following the mini is defekt.
I have written to SE in Denmark...im waiting for their answer...if they are wise, then they are going to check their hole stock of cables
Well i got an answer fro SE
Guess what the answer was ???
"We have never had errors like that in our service department!"
I know the are lying, or just ignoring errors, because my daugthers friend had the exact same problem...witch SE couldent repair (2 attempts).
Posetive thing:
SE offered to change my micro usb cable to a new 1 (faulty one i guess)
I wrote back to SE:
I do not need a new cable since i have 3 working noname micro usb cables!
And explained the hold shabang 1 more time, telling them that the repair center would not catch the error unless, they used the exact same cable as the costumer!.
Since then i havent heard from SE
Conclusion:
SE doesnt give a damn about their costumers problems
Consequence:
I dont wanna buy an SE cellphone ever again!!! (this phone was for my daughter).
From now on i stick to HTC...ive got at HTC HD2 and i just LOOOOOOVE IT
PS. The micro usb cable for my HD2 works perfect with the mini pro. No charging errors at all
hello...
Well guys i was with the same problem... the mobile was discharging when connected to USB port... so i just changed the USB port and it begun to charge!!!!!
SOmetimes the USB port has no power to charge so u may change it...
for me it worked well.

I have this problems, since few days ago.
And after a search in many web pages, the solutions didn´t appear, I don´t know, if this a issue whit the usb cable or the usb slot in the phone, I really try differents things, turn on while push the camera button, or the - vol button, sometimes work, but is really a pain in the a...

thank you for your helpful message t.siddharth
i had the same problem with my phone, initially i replaced the cable then i sent the phone for repair twice as the first time it was not fixed.
6 months later the charging fault reoccurs, so i took phone apart myself and found that the mini usb socket had come away from the pcb.
Hi all
can someone please help me out with this
I think i broke my usb connector,, it doesn't charge when I normally put my mini USB in the connector,, i need to make a construction to make it charge..
it does wiggle a little en it only charge when the mini usb cable is pushed up in the connector..
so i really think it's broken and i've search everywhere for a reparation
but i didn't find any person to make this..
i also broken my lcd i think cause the touchscreen works great and it show black bleeding...
can someone in the NEtherlands around the neighbourhood of Zuid-Holland help me and does somebody now what it is with the connector..?
thanks

I think my usb entrance on device is broken I have to keep pushing really hard to charge the phone an connect to usb and it's unbearable to wait pushing until full battery so how much would it cost to fix this what would they to if I give my phone to service(it has no warranty)?

An alternative would be to fix this yourself. The flexprint with the USB connector is available on ebay for some $ (quite cheap). If you are unsure your skills will suffice to replace the flexprint then have a look at youtube; there are some clips showing how this is done.
If you have a friend who repairs phones you can ask him to try the method above.... Its easy

thanks for replies ok i will give it a try
Are you sure it's broken, and not just dirty. I've had the same problem before, but after some cleaning it worked again. If you want to know how to clean it, watch this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjnXcFG3674)
Other problems can arise if you change the usb board.
Okay so I made (tried to make) a USB OTG cable by taking the metal off the outside of the USB connector, then cutting and reconnecting the cable with red on black and green on white so it would be the same polarity as a female USB. i plugged a flash drive up and nothing happened.
Here is where my retarded moment comes in: I HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER WITH THE POLARITY REVERSED!!!!
Now it wont even boot up. :crying:
I have a HTC One (AT&T).
PLEASE HELP!!!
I also don't want to send it back because this will be the third phone in 3 months (1st: xperia tl soft bricked returned 2nd: xperia tl hard bricked returned 3rd: i hope it will still work, but i need your help). . i will take ANYTHING except for taking it apart (that's why there is geek squad but that costs money and I'm broke).
if i need to go into more detail i will but please tell me or else i wont know.
wires:
red----------black
white----------green
black----------red
green----------white
i think it blew a fuse, but if so how would i fix it? does it even have a fuse?:crying:
Oh dear! You've lived up to your name anyway. The phone is frazzled!
Next time get a schematic of the cable wiring or buy a cable. It'll be cheaper in the end.
Your phone shop should replace the phone though - just don't tell them your story

that is not what i wanted to hear but thank you anyways. :crying: :crying:
maybe since it wont boot up at&t wont have any way to know about the unlocked bootloader and cyanogenmod (they let me get a new phone for free even after rooting and bricking both my xperia tl's. All i had to do was say that the update broke itor the battery wouldn't hold any charge.) But I JUST got it two or three days ago so I feel very crappy now.
at least i have google voice on my computer and kindle fire.
WHY DIDN'T I WATCH THE STUPID VIDEO!!!! the answer is i am a freaking idiot.
When you say "phone shop", does best buy fit in that category? or is there any possible way to fix it from home?
Hi.
I left phone with charger plugged in and went shopping.
When I came back to my crib I found out that phone didn't charge at all.
I found it strange, so I plugged the other charger, but it didn't work as well.
Then I plugged the other phone into the chargers. Both worked well.
I tried to plug USB into PC and it didn't work either. I made a factory reset and tried all steps again, but still no result.
It looks like USB port died itself...everything in port looks good, nothing broken or moving inside of it.
I wouldn't mind if I could reapply my drm keys, so I could update OTA Lollipop or Install ftf. I could just charge phone by magnetic port. But now I'm stuck with nothing.
What to do?
Hello,
Tried one other USB cable ?
If not OK with other USB cable, you can try installing Flashtool and drivers for your phone, power OFF phone and connect it in fastboot mode or the other (I don't remember the name) to see if the USB are really dead. No reset needed for that and this test call the 1 level hardware of the phone.
Mine not working aswell. The port seem to be loosen and only certain angle my pc would detect it. After a month of trying to get the right angle i think it broke. Went to my local phone shop they recommend me to have sony replace the usb port. Its gonna cost me so for now im using magnetic charger. Tried open it up to see if anything i could do but the port is tight sealed so im guessing a visit to Sony service center is inevitable.
