My phone isn't charging properly. It isn't recognizing that it's plugged in although I've tried different outlets and 2 different chargers that do work. I have some luck charging it while plugged into the Wii or ps3 USB ports.
Anyone else experienced this or know what can be done?

I had a issue similar to that once. I have 3 cords. Computer, A/C, Car (all worked and didnt work, I did the common thing which was pull battery and reset but of course it was a temp fix. I ended up killing the battery on purpose and using my wifes phone and charged it on her's (same phone) and also updated my rom on mine and its worked fine since. So I dont know it if was the Rom or what but ive never had a issue since I changed the rom. I dont think my wifes phone really did anything but I put it here in case.
What ROM are you using now and what were you using before.
I am using MIUI v4 2.8.10 and my phone is charging fine (from the laptop and the wall outlet). When I connect it to my laptop it does not mount the SD card (I have a SD card). It does no mount the internal memory neither the SD card.
This is driving me crazy. Any suggestions ?

hi all,
im using koasfroyo 2.2 v35-1. all of a sudden cant mount when i plug into computer, been researching like crazy and found something i want to try but cant find the setting on my phone. "go to Settings>>Connect to PC and verify Default connection type " dont have connect to pc under my settings menu anywhere!
anyone know where the default connection type is located in this rom?
thanks
Does the icon show in the notification bar that the usb is connected? If so, what I would try is using a widget to connect the usb and see if that works. Your Power Control Widget will have this settings and you should have this as it is a part of the Settings app. Just long press on your home screen and open the widget from there. If that doesn't work, then there might be a bigger issue we need to track down.
nothing is in the notification bar, went to a friends house today and plugged it in his computer with his cable and my cable and still nothing, just charges the phone. i wonder if last time it worked (2 days ago) i didnt unmount before i pulled out usb cord, i normally unmount before i unplug. could that cause a problem, the one thing i havent done yet is format my sd card. tried 6 different computers since it happened, same result on all.
Hmm. I actually had the same thing happen to me and I was freaking out. I used another USB cord and it worked fine. I'm not sure what happened to it, whether it got pinched, cut it with something accidently, or rolled over it with my desk chair, but yea, that was it. I would REALLY be surprised it if had anything to deal with the unmounting it just by unplugging it. I've done that more times than I could even remember. Multiple times a day for months and have never had any issues, or have heard of others. So, try the cord thing next. It's always best to eliminate problems by going through the easy and obvious things first.
Have you ever use wired tethering or just have the app? This has been known to cause the computer recognition not to work. If you have recently use wired tethering try rebooting. If you just have the app installed remove it and try to connect.
Yeah, try using another USB cord. The one that came with my phone stopped working at some point (I would physically connect it and nothing would happen.) I tried a few other cords until I found one that works. Good Luck!
Ok will try another cord tomorrow. Actually I tethered for the first time ever on Saturday night, just seeing how it worked with ubuntu. I used easy tether lite. That was the last time phone worked plugged in. Tether worked great, unplugged and moved my computer into the garage, since then hasn't mounted. But before I started this post I wiped dev & data and reinstalled v 35-1 but didn't clean my SD card.

Since you have rebooted, and haven't mentioned wired tether app for root I don't think what i proposed is the problem. I have also had the same result from different usb cables as said above so hopefully that will remedy your situation.

I think your phone usb connection might be to blame not the cable. Try moving the usb end while its plugged into the phone (up, down, left, right) to see if it clears the issue.
I has the same problem a few times after tethering but if you reboot phone and computer this should work of its not a wire problem. Also what apps do you have running on the computer when trying to mount... IE... earlier tendering programs or HTC sync

Read this link, this is the instructions everyone gave me, BUT, looking back, I went completely back to stock and lost everything!

Good Luck!
EDIT: s**t, I forgot. You have to take care of your battery problem FIRST!!! You cannot do this under 40% and phone will not charge it! I did not have wall charger at the time, so I had to pull battery and splice a USB cable and tape wires to contacts on battery for like 4 hours!

Thanks for help but but i did that few days ago, it worked for battery charge but when i connect phone to pc it charges but there is no `usb connected` on top of the phone, and sometimes pc says usb device not recognized, so that is my problem, charging is not a problem anymore, thanks to you guys!

don't use windows (or mac) haha. try linux. i bet it's just a windows error. so it sounds. did you try formatting the card?
yeah, i formatted both internal and external sd twice
Formatted both internal and external sd twice, no progress
Charging Cable
I have a cable that always charges my phone.
I took it apart to see what made it work.
Only two wires Red Pos. Black Neg. from the USB Plug.
The Red Pos. wire was connected to the Pos. and the White Neg.
data tab on the Micro USB side. Black Neg. to Neg.
This works to Charge Phone on the Computer, Wall Charge,
and USB adapter in the car.
Sort of asking for a recommendation for a solution.
So my phone finally died but it died before my new phone got here.
Battery drained really fast.
Always had to wiggle the USB cord
NO dust in the USB port
Then just stop charging.
!) I think it's the usb because it wont charge.
2) Cant mount the phone onto my computer (therefore cant transferfiles)
Solution:
1) Buy a flex cable for the USB
- will my computer then be able to recognize the phone ?
2) Buy an external charger
- but what if it's the battery. and a external charger is pricier than the flex cable
3) What other things can I do ??
Taking the data out. and or transfering the data to my GS4
1) Once I get power onto my phone i guess I can try to mount it onto my new phone.
2) Upload everything, (but that's not really normal )
3) BLUE TOOTH !! LOL
4) What else ?
You can transfer files over Wi-Fi. Use drop box or air droid or some program like that. It's a little more time-consuming than using the USB transfer, but it'll get the job done.
As far as the battery goes, if you can't borrow someone's phone to charge it up, then I guess an external charger is the most likely solution. If the USB port is actually bad, then a new USB cable won't solve the issue.

I was actually talking about replacing the usb flex cable, but even if i had a cable (since i tried plugging in before it stopped working) my computer wont recognize it.

I would try taking it into an AT&T store and seeing if they have a spare cable to try charging it. Just tell them your situation. After its charged (if it does) at least like 40%, take it home and use air droid to transfer your files.

yeah thats true. i've done it before. they charge it on another phone. air droid is on the Google Play store ? Hmm I am thinking about just buying an external charger if this is the case. since it would take a while to transfer and it would allow me to use it to use it some more. Thanks !
About 3 months, I had some issues connecting my i605, rooted, running Jelly Beans Build 13 ROM to my PC (windows 8). It started with not being able to detect the phone at all, it then evolved into spotty charging, and the phone randomly going into "car mode" because from what I could tell, it thought it was docked. So I figured this was due to a faulty charging port, so I took it to a renowned shop and got the port replaced. Prior to getting it replaced charging got better and car mode (which was incredibly annoying because it caused many stutters and force closes from constantly turning on and off in quick succession) pretty much disappeared completely except for once. Since getting it repaired, charging has improved, and car mode has yet to appear, however it will not transfer files still. The PC is 50/50 with recognizing the device at all. Sometimes it will show up under "My computer" sometimes not. When it DOES I can explore the SD card (sandisk 64gb class 10) fine, and the phone onboard memory, but when I try transferring TO the phone I get an error that says, "The device is not responsive, or has been disconnected". Now when transferring from the card to my pc I get another error, but that error is also 50/50. I just tried it and can transfer from the card to my desktop fine, but not vice versa EVER. Anyone have similar issues or even better, a solution?
EDIT: I tried changing the ROM's extension to just .file and it moved over fine. This leads me to believe it for what ever reason just will not transfer .zips(seeing as that's all I've tried transferring, and .file worked fine).

You say Car Mode still hasn't started up since having it replaced? Could it be an issue with the replacement? I have replaced ports on plenty on phones, doing it myself not taking it to shops, and have never had this issue but it could be they didn't do a good job, didnt use enough solder to fill the PCB holes, and it isnt making contact the entire time.
It may also be a driver issue but to me it sounds like maybe the replacement isnt a quality replacement, maybe he didn't use enough or used to much solder, or there is another underlying problem with your phones MoBo that is causing this.

No, not having car mode is a GOOD thing. Car mode was giving me hell. It'd randomly at anytime just start turning on and off rapidly. The only remaining issue is the transferring of .zip files.

Have you tried troubleshooting this issue using just the micro sd card in a card reader?
It could be that windows 8 hasn't the proper drivers to interface with the phone.
Also, a cheap workaround could be to transfer the zip files to a flash drive and
use an otg cable to connect flash drive to the phone for transfer there. If the zips transfer that way I would suspect
the windows 8 pc samsung drivers to be the culprit. After considering all the facts, though, you might want to return your phone for a port repair again. My curiosity got the better of me. Does it charge with the factory wall charger with no interrupts?

You mean put the micro SD into an adapter to make it a regular SD card and then try that? If that's what you're talking about I've tried that too, for what ever reason that card (64gb sandisk class 10) is read only. I can't write to that card. Maybe its the formatting or something but if I recall right I researched why I couldn't write to it months ago, and though it's very fuzzy I feel like my research amounted to: "you're **** out of luck". Trying with an OTG might work, but I'd have to get an OTG cable first. Thing is it USED to transfer .zips. That's how I rooted and placed ROMs on my phone. It's only recently after all this charging port problems that transferring became an issue. I thought it was simply because the port became loose and the "connectors" (excuse my lack of hardware-speak) were touching and then jiggling during charging or unplugging the phone or whatever caused the port to lose connection with the rest of the phone. So I blamed a defective port for all my issues and decided to replace it. Now since it's been replaced all past issues are gone, except this transfer issue. And to answer your final question, it did not prior to the repair, it does now from what I've seen.
I found a problem.. some days ago my phones otg detect memory card and pendrives speedly but now shows the usb connector and usb mass storage connected but the file manager opened after 1 minute. I wiped data ,changed rom but nothing happen is this a hardware problem...?
I found this after a charging yesterday my phone placed to charging some times later I took phone but not charged also dicreased battery level... phone came to over heat...any solution..?
