i got the bionic in the mail today, installed the drivers and crap to my PC, and my phone wont detect that its connected to a computer! ive wiped data, and reinstalled the drivers a few times, whats wrong?
Try a different PC different cord enable debugging under development in settings and just toggle that lastly you can run a fresh install of windows

Also make sure you are using one of the rear USB ports if you are on a desktop PC - the front case ones are not always the best quality.
On top of that did you try rebooting both PC and phone? Helped mine a few times when the PC wouldn't pick it up.
Yea i tryed all that... verizon sent a replacement... should be here today

Can you use safestrap to restore cwm backups?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
You may have to move them to the safestrap/backups folder but yes you should be able to. Maybe even install zip from sd card would work
Sent from my XT875 using xda premium
They always say that...
OP, are you using a Motorola cable?
You have to use a Verizon branded USB cord. They have some partnership to make sure you pay $20 for something worth $5. Other USB cords will let you.charge but nothing else.

I think I'm sol here but I want to see if anyone has any ideas... I cannot connect to my computer via USB, I've tried 3 USB cables and my wife's captivate connects with all three but mine doesn't. I'm running cm7 now so I can't think of any way to return to stock, any ideas? Thanks in advance

OP,
Since ur on CM7, do u have the correct drivers installed (Nexus S) and did u try rebooting ur computer ??
Yeah and I even tried updating sdk again. And also my wife's captivate runs on cm7 also. I also tried different USB ports and a non Samsung cable I can't think of anything else to try
Sent from my NookColor using XDA Premium App
Well after about 3 hours of plugging and unplugging the usb it works now so im back on stock 2.2 and i have to say man does this suck. Im sort of half scared to move back to a gingerbread rom or cm7 again. Im going to check and see if i still have usb issues i hope i do so i can return this phone under warranty

I had the same issue. I uninstalled my drivers for the phone, then reinstalled them.
My phone charges fine, and my usb jig works fine. When I connect it to the pc. It charges fine. But to connect it to the pc, so I can mount the sd card or so I can connect to Odin, the micro usb doesn't connect right away for data transfer.
I need to insert the micro usb a little tiny bit, wait a second, then push it the rest of they way in, so the usb debugging notification pops up. And most of the time, I have to repeat the process of inserting and removing the micro usb several times, until the usb debugging and usb storage shows up in my notification Window.
I want to ask if anyone else has this problem. If so, is it the usb port going bad in my phone? It was like this ever since I bought the phone from ATT. Brand new out of the box, with contract.
EDIT: switched Samsung usb cables, and connected right away, no problems. No playing with the cable to try to get it to connect.

That sounds like a hardware defect. Also, try using a different USB cable. How long have you had it?

It may not b the usb port on the phone... I have 2 micro usb to usb cables, one that originally came with my captivate and it has always been loose. The other that I have came with my sgs 2 and it fits real snug in the captivate. ---- So maybe just try a different cable. Worth a try.

Hmm, that is true. The cable I use to flash my phone is a Samsung cable that came with my phone, and it fits a little loose. However, the cable I use to charge my phone fits snug. I haven't tried to connect it to my pc though. I was doing what I read on here, about using Samsung usb cables. So I will try it out, and see if it's the problem. Thanks.
EDIT: That was the problem. The cable is a Samsung, but it's not the cable that came with my phone. But it connects right away, no problems at all. I don't know why I didn't think about that in the first place. Lol. It's always the littlest things that you forget to try. Thank you!

Here is my situation... Wifes bionic is on leak. 904. Shortly after she has had charging issues and now it wont connect to the p.c also. After i reboot it it will charge just fine but it will not connect to p.c any suggestions? Known bug or do u think the port is damaged?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
Lots of folks have had problems connecting with tether. Not sure about your case, but I was on my fourth cable and still it did not work. I finally called Moto and they sent me the correct cable. It was clear in my case that the information the VZ support people were given was not clear enough to help select the right cable.
Shouldn't you be able to let the phone update to current version to make sure you software install is OK?
No, you have to be on. 902 in order to update to. 905. I might try to see if it will connect in fast boot. If it does I guess Ill just flash back to. 902
I tried several (6) cables including moto cables... nothing

I was upgrading my wifes bionic last night and came across this problem as well (ironically with a moto cable). Swapped out with my HTC cable from my Thunderbolt & it came right up in mass storage. Apparently some older cables aren't compatible with bionic! Shocked me too.
Hey guys I'm on ics .235 leak and can't for the life of me root this thing. I have played with many Samsung and HTC phones in the past but can't figure out this bionic. I want to flash either liquid or blackhole but I can't even root stock. I have razr root one click. Latest drivers and USB debugging. Please help. Thanks.

Make sure you are using a good cable, preferably moto brand and make sure it is connected to a usb port directly connected to the motherboard.

I don't have moto cable. Just got the phone today as warranty replacement for my Samsung charge. So I have that cable and another universal USB that works with my touchpad. I have windows 7 64 bit and have uninstalled reinstalled software/drivers 3 times and have rebooted uncountable times. It doesn't get past daemon started successfully. In regular adb I tried adb devices and get list of attached devices but its blank. Any alternate way to root this phone. This is the first time I had a problem on android that I couldn't solve.

You may want to get a moto cable on Ebay our somewhere like that, these phones can be finicky with other cables. Or see if anyone you know has one they can lend.

The only other thing that I can think of is the usb mode. You have it set for MTP, right? If that's the case, then it should show up in your computer's Device Manager as an ADB Interface called Mot Composite ADB Interface. I got it to work on mine, using Win 7 64bit.
Tried it in mtp but doesn't list as advanced device. Debugging is on and unknown is checked
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda app-developers app
Is it showing up in your Device Manager at all, even even if it's under unknown devices?
Yes. Shows up as Motorola USB networking device. Under network adapters and also ad Motorola USB composite device
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda app-developers app
That is very interesting. Those both come up when I have it showing it as an ADB interface as well. Perhaps you can toggle between Mass Storage and MTP while it is connected and also toggle ADB Debugging off then back on and see if that does anything. Other than that, I can't think of what else it might be.
EDIT: I just noticed that it appears as an ADB device when it is in PTP mode too.
Also, have you tried powering it off and taking the battery out for a minute before putting it back in and powering on?
I really appreciate your persistence. I have tried everything u said. Never comes up as adb. Maybe you can email Mr your drivers. [email protected]. battery sucks and wanna go a liter rom. Correct me if I'm wrong but I have to root and install safestrap yo flash an ics rom
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda app-developers app
I won't be back at my computer for a while, but i will send you the drivers that i used when i get back. You do need to be rooted to install safestrap as far as i know. One if the biggest battery drains that i have seen is the motocast process which runs with my music. You may be able to disable it in the manage apps menu without being rooted, however you won't be able to use My Music if you do. It isn't the same as the motocast app that you can download. It may just be something unique to my setup, but it just kills my battery when it is enabled. It's something to look at. There is an app called GSam battery monitor that it's good for determining what is causing battery drain, i highly recommend using it for a while.

OK so the weirdest thing happened just now. I was charging my atrix HD when I went on it to check a phone number. Then it started opening apps and going on xda then other apps. I had no control over it. I couldn't even turn it off. I had to do the power and volume down thing to shut off. It was very creepy. I was just looking for a minute while the person did what they did. It was like when a person from dell controls your computer if something isn't working right. At first I thought it was being laggy but no! It kept going settings were changed and the person tried playing music on it! I turned it off before he could but the wierdest part is that I had turned of my wifi and set my phone on airplane mode so it can charge faster. No communication what so ever. Right now its off and I plan to keep it that way until someone can tell me what to do to protect myself. Also this could have been happening before i went to go check my phone. Which was like 15 minutes before I checked it. Please help

android is very hard to hack probably a virus delete data in cwm
Best thing to do is just wipe.
Easy way to do it is to go to Settings->Privacy->Factory Reset
It was probably a bad app.

Another thing to be aware of is I've noticed Motorola's screens (at least on the Atrix models) are kind of finnicky. If there's a little bit of moisture around they just start registering touches on their own sometimes.
With my battery life being... less than ideal.. I find myself plugging into all kinds of chargers along my travels. Some non moto chargers make my phone go nuts, exactly like what was described - apps opening etc. Have experienced this several times. Feel the other explanations are possible of course but highly unlikely.

Airport WiFi connections are VERY insecure. Basically they monitor everything that goes through. Text messages, calls, anything. Maybe they also have access to control phones?

I agree with above post non oem chargers can make the phone act funny especially the cheap dollar store chargers get an oem cable the you will know that it will work for charging and data.
