This sounds like a driver issue. I would search for a updated usb driver.

[Q] USB Connection problem?

Hey, so when I try to connect my GS2 to the computer (via USB), it doesn't connect for some reason. After connecting it, it takes about 5 secs and it starts to charge but doesn't connect to the computer. I've tried a couple of different ROMs and also on 2 other computers and its the same result. I need help please. Thanks
First make sure drivers are installed if so then try another cable that could be the problem.

You are missing the drivers. Search via Google for the hardware ID or simply by the model of the phone.

I have had the drivers installed, and I tried my brother's HTC usb cable and it still doesn't work.
My thread is right above yours. There are USB port issues with this phone. Although I feel for you, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. If you have insurance take it back cuz it only gets worse. Flash stock while you still can, if you're not already running it. Trust me.

Mac or PC? That would help out a bit. What have you done? That would also help.

It's a PC, Windows 7. I dl'd htc sync and googled htc drivers then dl'd that. When i plug in a usb cable then go to my computer it doesnt show anything. HTC sync also says no device found.
My experience with HTC sync is.....it sucks. But you don't see any extra storage in computer section? don't get a prompt on your phone to activate disc storage either?

Mount phone as disk drive thru usb options on phone... it then will install the proper drivers

Just try another USB-Port
I've had that happen a couple of times myself, a restart of one or the other usually did the trick. You could maybe try a reinstall of kies if restarts dont help. After that I'm not sure.

Will try both. Thanks guys
I'm working til 6am tho (6pm til 6am shift) so I'll try later when o get up

Before going to the extent of reinstalling things. maybe try DL'ing and installing the USB Drivers - Search on XDA is down right now or I'd give you a link - but when it is back up, browse for SAMSUNG_USB_Driver... Ah Googled it and you can DL it from http://d-h.st/h11
Run it on the PC with Admin permissions (right-click and [Run As Administrator] and then try connecting the phones.
Thank you
I wanted to put Sons of anarchy season 4 on my fone to watch at work

None of the above worked but uninstalling skies & drivers then restarting pc then install skies plus susb driver v1.4.0 worked.

Need help with bootloader unlock, stuck "waiting for device"

I've been googling toys for days, all my drivers are up to date as far as I'm aware, the phone connects perfectly when booted normally if I just want to sync something, but when I'm in fastboot, I get to the get_identifier_token command and it just says waiting for device indefinitely.
Oh, apparently Windows doesn't recognize it in fastboot

Still no luck, probably gonna give up soon, the universe wants me to stay stock. Might as well have an iPhone .__.

Then your drivers are messed up. Fast boot works fine even on my other machine with Windows 8.

Yeah one of my machines has 8. I'm thinking about putting 7 on it. Windows 8 is for children.

Which drivers should I look into? The HTC ones are freshly installed and work when the phones on normally, and USB works fine for everything else

So what's the problem?

Im having the same exact issue with my phone, and Im running windows 7.
Ive tried using both usb 2.0, and 3.0 ports, tried suing front, and back ports, USB debuggind is enabled, and I've tried with fastboot both enabled, and disabled.
I've tried removing ALL my android related drivers and reinstalling the HTC ones with no success.
Yet whenever I disconnect my phone while it;s in bootloader, it get a popup on my PC for a failed driver installing for a "HTC MTP DEVICE".
Had the same problem, Had to do THIS fix, and no problems anymore

Samsung galaxy nexus isn't recognized by win 7

I upgraded to Windows 7 on an older laptop. I plug my phone in and it doesn't recognize anything. I thought win 7 would pickup the driver automatically but I guess not. I tried rebooting the laptop and phone
do I need a driver? Android adb or sdk is it?

Well that didn't help darn it. Does anything other than usb debugging need to be selected on my phone?

Just USB Debugging needs to be checked, make sure your plugging your phone into a USB 2.0 port as USB 3.0 can give you problems. Also if you have a different computer try that as well.

I installed the driver for schi515. When I rebooted my phone I heard the sound it makes when it's connecting and disconnecting. It started auto installing a driver for OMA0444 I think it was, then the download failed. I don't know where that came from or what it is? I recently added a new hard drive and Win7
Under device manager, "other device" toggles between showing OMAP, and not even showing "other devices"
Not working on my pc either. Usb port needs replacing. Previously I was able to transfer files to my pc, but it looks like that ability has been lost.
Will replacing my Usb port erase my phone?

One more thing I would recommend taking a look at is this thread as the person manged to find a solution similar to the problem you are having. As far as replacing your USB port, replacing it will not (Should not whenever your modify any electronics risk of data loss is always a possibility) erase your phone.

What size screwdriver are you looking for? As the Torx screws on phones can vary greatly sometime, which size torx screw driver do you need?
That's my question. What size do I need? I need to remove the back so I can replace the USB port.

Is it possible for you to post a picture of the screws, I might be able to identify which screws they are from a picture.

Unfortunately, no. I think it's a small Philips screwdriver?

Just took at look at the Samsung Galaxy Nexus Teardown guide on iFixit and yes it is a small Philips head screwdriver that is listed for the screws. When doing the teardown I would recommend taking a look at there guide that I linked to.
