Posting for a friend.....
He just got the samsung tab. As soon as he got it home, he updated to the newest software to 3.2
Started the root process but quickly found out when he plugs his tab in via USB, it does not come up with an option for USB storage. His computer reads it as an audio file. He says he does have debugging checked.
Any ideas? If I can get more info from him, I will update.
This happened to me after I used a car charger that would at best only trickle charge... Does it react normally when plugged in to a wall outlet charge? Mine would still show as "discharging."
I never found a solution and mine was replaced by the Retailer.
not really sure if drivers are on this problem. try updating them though.
Hate to ask... Has he rebooted? I would try disconnecting the cable, toggling off usb-debugging and rebooting. Toggle it back on , then connect the cable....

Hi Everyone,
I was running GR-11 last night. My phone started acting weird so i decided to reboot it. When it shut off it didnt turn back on. I hit the power and still nothing. I was eventually able to get into download mode with a combination of usb and buttons without battery. So i flashed back to stock. Still the same problem, if i turn the phone off i cannot get it to turn back on unless i pull out the battery, plug in the usb, put the battery in, wait for the charging screen then i can turn it on and remove the usb. However, when the phone is running it says USB connected even though there is no usb cable connected. If i leave the usb cable plugged in while the phone turns on i can use ADB but cannot mount as drive.
Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks
tldr; phone constantly says usb connected. Cannot mount as drive. Cannot use adb unless phone boots with usb connected.
Sounds like a broken usb port. Get a Warranty replacement.
Well darn.
I had read a thread about possible corrosion of the usb contacts on the phone so i used an emery board to clean the contacts but no luck. i guess it will have to go in for warranty repair on monday.

The handful of stock Froyos I've worked with all had sticky USB notification after use in development mode. They'd be unconnected but the icon and message remained.
If you can't do the extra clicks for mounting when the message is valid and connected; that plus your booting problem points to a port malfunction.

Yup my rogers corporate rep agress and they are sending me an advance replacement for delivery early next week.
Glad i was able to flash back to stock
It appears that either the USB port or the USB controller is failing (has failed). The phone still charges but neither the phone nor any computer recognizes that the phone is plugged in. Even when I plug the phone into a wall jack, the phone does not make any sound or light up or show it is charging (it does charge though). If I go to the battery settings while the phone is plugged in (computer or wall) the phone recognizes that it is charging.
If the phone is off and I plug in the usb cable (compter or wall) the phone turns on by itself. This is problematic because I cannot get into the download mode using the 3 button combo. I also cannot get into the download mode using apps like Reboot Widget.
I installed USB Host Controller which says that the USB cable is not plugged in when it is. I can disable and enable USB charging though. Changing the USB Host Drivers has no effect.
So it looks like I need to send it into mobiletechvideos for repair. But reading through the reviews there is concern that just replacing the USB port wont fix my problems if the USB Controller is shot.
Not only did they replace the USB port and get it back to me in about a week but they told me that since the controller had failed and the phone couldn't talk to the computer I wasn't charged the full price for the repair.

So I guess I'm asking if anyone here knows anything about this issue and if mobiletechvideos.com can repair it.
I am also going to email mobiletechvideos.com asking them this same question.
Thanks for your time.

Mobiletechvideos (Connexion2005 on xda) can most likely repair your phone. Him and Adam Outler have been doing the impossible with devices!
Hello. I have quite the issue, the phone's MicroUSB has seemed to stopped working. I remember one night I plugged it in the laptop to charge it and got an windows error, like the port failed, but I was too busy to handle it so I left it like that.
I should mention that I used that option "Usb fastcharge" from kernel.. Is it possible my port is broken? It won't charge now at all.. I tried different cables to no avail. Previously I had to move the cable into socket and I could get it charging, but now.. nothing.
If I plug it in the laptop, I have the monitor attached on HDMI and for some reason it disconnects the monitor while I have the phone plugged in. Also it changes the laptop's brightness while I have it plugged. Seems so weird, I don't have warranty on it.
Also if I simply leave it plugged into the wall charger/usb port, the phones MicroUSB just heats up. I get no charging indicator or anything.
Anyone been through this?
Hi,
A few days ago i tried to connect my phone to the computer but the computer started making connect and disconnect sounds repeatedly. The phone wasn't able to connect to the pc and it didn't charge. I tried another pc with the same result, i also tried other cables again with the same result. But the phone still charged when I connected it to the charger.
Last night however my phone also stopped charging(AC). It was 1% when i woke up and it refused to charge (tried different chargers/cables). I only got it to charge the second time i turned it off and connected the charger. So, the usb port does still work, sometimes when i shut the phone down.
Is anybody familiar with this problem or do you think it's a hardware problem and should I bring it to the store.
Thanks,
Hi there,
i've got a problem with my Mi3. Suddenly, it has "stopped" charging. Actually it charges when it wants to. Sometimes I plug it in and it begins charging, some other times it doesn't. However, it only goes charging for some minutes and then... bluff!! Stops.
I've managed to fully charge it if I turn the device off, then I plug the USB charger and, next, I turn it on again. The only way i've found.
However, I cannot connect it to my computer, it doesn't recognize the device at all. The computer shows "Windows cannot recognize the USB device because bla, bla, bla...", but it does this in a loop. I cannot stop it unless I unplug the device. Moreover, I cannot find the device in the Device Manager. I could flash a fastboot file this morning to check if the problem was in the ROM. No way.
Any idea or Suggestion?
Thanx!
Looks like you're USB has doomed.
