Greetings all, I've tried using several adapters and connectors that work with my other devices.
I have also tried connecting with multiple PC's and external USB devices. Additionally I've rebooted several times and performed a factory reset.
I'm guessing this may be hardware related? Any thoughts on how to trouble shoot furtherer and or replace the USB port?
Thanks in advance,
Heath

Seems like the USB port for my X10 is not working. Last night I found myself having to wiggle the usb cord a bit to get the phone to detect but now it just won't detect at all. I've tried restarting, taking the battery out, using different cords, connecting to a power outlet and to my computer to no avail. Anyway to fix it? My immediate guess is to just take the phone apart and resolder the USB port but I'm not sure. Any input or tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Same here USB dead not charging neither communicates with pc
I'm having the same problem with my SGS, after updating to froyo. Very frustrating

Send it for repairs.
same problem here
I have the same problem, cant charge/connect since 2 days. Didnt do anything wrong with the cables....
solutions are welcome, sending for repair can always be done, but i prefer another solution, so i dont have to miss my phone for weeks.
I thought I read somewhere that SE's microUSB cables were slightly different from others...Anyone know if that's true?
I'd be really grateful if someone tried mounting their SD card using a BlackBerry cable and told me results.
I think I ruined my phone, trying to figure out what the issue might be.
Thanks in advance, guys!
Hi,
I dont know about blackberry cable but i have use my Nokia N97's Cable and my wife's digetal camera cable on my x10, and they all work fine.
I think its a standard micro USB cable
Well, there is some difference in cables, I do not know exactly what but when I use any of the other cables I have at home, I can charge the phone just fine but it won't connect to the computer. Connecting to USB port on the computer only affects the battery, nothing else, when I don't use the original. Havn't tested all cables out there, might just be my other cables that are faulty (damn cats, chewing on anything and everything).
how do i fix the "Usb not recognize"
Did you install the Samsung drivers?
nope, but i know this is a problem with rom? cause yesterday it's fine but when i reinstall bionix usb can't recognize now... what should i do?
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
already install it, not working...
and also
"Internal/External Sdcard Mounting Fix - for all 2.2 roms - *11/20/10*"
other method/s ??
FIXED.
But CD ROM on Vibrant?? how to remove this?
USB not recognized - how I fixed my problem
I've been beating my head over this for about a week. I've installed/uninstalled drivers a dozen times, cleaned the registry, deleted application data, etc.
The puzzling thing for me was that it had worked reliably for me at one time, and I had gotten it to work on a couple of other occasions through all of the gyrations above. The phone also works fine on another computer. WTF?
After a fair amount of googling I pieced together enough to start questioning the integrity of the USB connection. Some people said using a different cable worked, others said plugging into a different USB port worked.
What worked for me was moving the USB cable from the front panel connector on the computer to a back panel connector (soldered directly to the mother board). As I said before, others have said changing cables worked for them.
I suspect that the phone's USB signal integrity is marginal (possibly bad impedance matching). Add to that questionable quality control on cabling inside and outside the computer.
Anyway, try connecting to a different port on the computer and/or changing your usb cable.

Sorry, I missed that you had fixed the connection issue. No, I don't have a fix for the CD problem.

Fix USB Device Not Recognized
I went through the biggest search to try and fix this issue. Connected my Vibrant on different computers(different OS's) and found not a single solution along with drivers. Tried different usb cables and nothing but the same error. Look inside the usb port of the phone.....ah ha!!! small amount of lint managed its way in there and stuck to the pins. I was able to charge so it never occurred to me up until last night when I wanted to put in a new ROM. I used a thumb tack and carefully cleaned the port( REMOVE THE BATTERY FROM THE PHONE BEFORE DOING THIS!!!)
Also make sure the cable didn't suck up some of the lint too. this happened to me too.
Good luck
Hey guys,
Suddenly today my USB stopped working (only charge, no mass storage). So i thought that the device might be bricked so I tried following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751265
But USB is not even recognized in FASTBOOT, so I dunno where to start. I'm thinking that it might be a hardware problem.
My problem is identical to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678512
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Bump
It once happen to me but afterwards I findout that it was a problem with my data cable.
I hope it might help you.
Sent from my Legend using xda app-developers app
Happened to me too. Had to replace the USB board.
I have the same problem, searched the same forums but it did not work... tried with another laptop, tried with two other data cables, but still not working... I feel it must be a hardware problem...
Now for flashing ROMs, I remove my SD card and plug it directly into the laptop to save the ROM...

You may try and clean the USB-port on the Legend. It does accumulate quite a bit of dust over time and may prevent good contact.
I got a replacement unit after 15 months because of a broken camera and noticed that the usb cable fit much tighter and went in quite a bit deeper than on my old Legend.
A needle should work just fine. =)
Hi,
Having a problem since a few weeks with my s3.
Normally i could connect wiht my phone to any pc,, without any problems. Either it be unix, win, whatever...
Suddnely it stopped working, only thing that happens is charging when i connect it to my pc. Different cables tested, original one, etc..
Connecting it to different pc's resulted in a no go.. so it must be phone related.
No windows pop up, or anything!!
So I figured: Let's install a new rom.
Tried ultima 15 rom, got a different CM rom now (sentinel)... all to no avail.
Is it possible that this has something to do with my radio?
rom info:
android: 4.3
baseband: CEEMG2
Anyone have an idea what to do? Even ADB push ain't working..
See your identical post
I experienced the same problem when m using the Galaxy Nexus S But it was solved by using the app from play store named SD booster... In this app m just set the value of sd card to 1024 give root access and Boom my phone is connected as normal
If this not help then i seriously recommend you to replace the charging port of the mobile through samsung outlet
Go into developer settings, some ROMs may have different ways to get into develop er setting and after you get in make sure USB debugging is enable ^.^
Sent from my SPH-L710 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Usb debugging is not required for phone to pc connection see basic faqs and guides .
But as OP has ruled out drivers and cable that only leaves the phone so its worth trying .
Usual replies are
Drivers
Cable
Dirty USB Ports
Not connected to main-board usb port .
I had same issue with my Galaxy SII and when i took it to service center they said mother board needs to be replaced.
So after that SII was good as new.
Got same problem here.
phone is charging over usb , but no data connection (tried different usb cables, different usb ports, different pc etc) but nothing..
also.. tried in download mode and so (after reading forums..) but without success.
then i decided to dissasemble that phone and look, what's inside that beast
cleaned usb port (inside, with contact cleaner), resoldered all pins and etc..
reassembled it back to one piece again and still, no data connection, but only charging
so, here i am, what to do next ? change the usb port on motherboard ?
(visually, everything looks right, good solder points and etc.)
Thanks, Martin

if anybody interested:
i've got it working again :victory:
basically, the problem was the hard way (crap usb data connections on motherboard)
soldered new ways for data+ and data-, and now it's back alive again...
(pictures of ways in attachment)
Martin
see you fixed it already but a note to others :
try using usb port right on the motherboard instead of the case front panel usb ports.....connecting to the front usb ports didn't work for me on some roms, but the rear one always connected so I just have a long cable running out of the back to connect my phone and it works on all roms I've used so far
Nice work hani93, i unfortunately do not dare to desolder and solder this stuff
I've noticed another thing though which is weird!!
When i tried to charge my phone via the power charger (the ac one?), when i check my battery view it still says that i'm charging via USB.
I don't think this is correct, i thought it should say AC or something and when charging via USB port on pc it should display USB?
I think this might be one of the issues that it's also not popping up on the computer.
Anyone know what is causing this or someone can confirm that when charging via power supply it should say something else then USB?
Just confirming your question when charging by PC it says (USB) and when its charging from the Mains it says (AC).
hmmm... guess it must be a hardware issue then?
Either usb port or mainboard... christ...
open it up and cleaned the contacts a bit of the usb port...
Still not functioning..

try to go into Download mode (volDown+Home+Power) and then connect usb, same situation?(eg, no data connection to pc ?)
if nothing again.. try to clean usb port inside (where you plug usb cable), sometimes there is dust and etc. then it stops working.
also, how did you clean contacts on motherboard ? i suggest to take soldering iron with clean bit, and drag iron along the pins.
