Only USB Charges - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

My phone only USB charges, meaning that when I connect my phone to an outlet battery monitor widget pro will tell me my phone is charging as if it is connect to a pc. My phone does take a significantly long time to charge.
I'm wondering is there anything that I overlooked that could be causing this problem. Or should I just take it to sprint??
This also could be related to my problem of not being able to access my sd card files on my computer through a USB connection.

Had same problem with my EVO 3D before I got my elte, and after testing at sprint store, they concluded that something went haywire inside phone that prevented it from switching from AC to usb and got replacement sent in...sounds like your EVO LTE is doing same thing (your're the first person I've seen have the usb only charging rate on an ELTE). Good luck and keep us posted.

This almost happened to me, but it was my adapter, not cable, that was the issue.

SD Card Issues

Is anyone else having this issue with there sd cards? When I connect a disk drive it will work fine. But after connecting and disconnecting just a few times I get a popup asking if I want to scan and fix or continue without scanning. If I run the scan the problem just repeats itself. It works a few times and then I get the popup.
I've tried 3 brand new cards now and the same problem with all of them. I'm beggining to think it's something with the phone. Anyone else?
Do you put it back in charge mode and hit done before disconnecting the device?

Yup. Every time. I know the drill, lol. I've never had this much problem with sd cards. My og Evo was fine.

[Q]Network Mode

Does setting network mode to Cdma only turn off the Lte? I think it would but I read online that Lte stays on all the time
Sent from my EVO LTE using XDA
It not only tells the device NOT to turn on LTE but also tells the devicenot to LOOK for an LTE signal which in my experience enhanced battery life... Well may not have enhanced battery life to be honest because I was only on charge number 2 when I turned it off LoL but will actually turn it back on and see how battery fates then to compare and do my best to keep using the phone as much as I have been to get proper results for the comparison.

Thanks. I feel like this would be like leaving GPS or Wimax on. Wasting the battery.

Except leaving GPS on doesn't waste battery. It's only using power when it's actually active. This was a big question people asked 2 years ago when the OG Evo came out.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

But with all the apps that try to pull your location I always thought it was hurting my battery on the OG. I am a battery whore so it could have been in my head.
sent from my EVO LTE
Yes, it is really only active when instructed to do so by certain apps at certain times like posting on FaceBook, using Nav, etc etc.

[Q] Signal difference between EVOs, help

Quick question. My wife and I both have the EVO LTE. I've had mine since August and she just got her's recently. We activated it Tuesday. Our phones can sit side by side, mine will have either full signal or close to it but her's will go between none, one, and two bars. I've always had strong signal here and it worries me that her phone is getting such weak signal. Should I be worried? Is there anything I can do to improve her signal or should I take it to the Sprint store? Trying to prevent her getting s refurb since she just got this new phone. Everything else seems to be working fine, she even picks up 4G. We're both completely stock. Any help would be appreciated.

are both phones on the latest software? also you should be within the buyers remorse period. you can take the phone back to the store and they have to give you a new one. dont let them trick you into a refurb.
If your both on the same radio with profile and prl updated I wound exchange it if you can

Yeah, both are JB. And thank you for that, I wasn't about to stick her with a refurb. So, we'll likely go Tuesday to the Sprint store. (Next time thar I'm off) so they can either fix it or give her a new one. Should I just request a new one or what?

Oddly enough her signal is doing better now. Is it possibly it took a while to get her profile and the Rom settled in? Should I still take it anyways while it's still in the 14 day time frame or now that it's doing better just roll with it?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Its most likely the spring terminal contacts under the little cover you remove to access the micro sd card slot.
There is a post somewhere about stretching the little spring terminals to gain signal. I have done it and it absolutely worked. My wife and I both have EVO LTE's as well and her phone had better signal than mine exactly as you describe.

You only have 13 days to return, they count the day of purchase so don't make the mistake of waiting too long!
Assuming you're on sense, you can enter ##debug# in the dialer and see your actual signal levels in terms of dbm, not bars.

No 4g after repair.

Okay I replaced my headphone jack successfully but in the process broke a little end off the antenna connector. Bought a replacement hooked it up and put it together. Put sim card in after 2 weeks of being on razr hd. Instant ability to make calls and 3g... but no 4g. Verizon tech says sim card is probably bad because they go bad quickly. On their end the sim hasnt updated in a week, the day I activated the razr. Is it possible something isnt hooked up from me taking it apart, sim cards going bad, or ... what yiu tgink guys? He recommends going in and having then replace sim.
Thanks in advance

Correct me if I am wring guys but I believe if u have 3g Sim isn't bad it would have no data period have u tryed toggling with network modes

I have. Switched to and from global from 4g/3g. The onoy thing was that the antenna cable I bought came from a different model note 2. Not the verizon one.. everyone I talked to said that should work .. that it's just a cable connecting the lower antenna to the upper or something. ..

You need a new SIM. Go to the store. This happens to me every time I flip phones.

Okay, I spent some time at verizon, got a new sim, and talked to a guy who seemed to know what was up. It's the cable. The new sim card wouldn't give me 4g either. The sprint replacement antenna wire is not going to work because of the 4g LTE I guess.. Thank you all for the help. I have another thread dedicated to finding a replacement antenna cord..

USB not working properly?

I have a rooted EVO 4g LTE and when I plug my phone into my computer it will charge but it won't see my device so I can transfer files. What can I do to fix this?

Could be a driver issue, or a problem with the USB port on your computer. You can install HTC Sync if you want to get the latest drivers on your computer.

That didn't seem to help
Actually you were right, it was the usb port on the computer. Strange tho.
Damn, was hoping this thread was about Android File Transfer. Anyway...
