The phone charges fine when plugged into the usb port, but I get usb device not recognized errors. It doesn't even popup to install any drivers.
I've tried installing the motorola drivers manually, but that didn't work either. I'm using the cable that came with my lg revolution as verizon said that would work just fine for the bionic. It does, but just for charging not managing the sdcard, etc.
When you plug it in, pull your status bar down, then select your USB mode. Make sure you don't have it set on charge only.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA
There is no usb notification on the pull down bar for some reason. Not even toggles for wifi, bluetooth, etc on the pull down bar.
Verizon is sending a bionic cable =/.
Check to make sure that your usb ports are working, my laptop shorted out all its usb ports at once while my bionic was plugged in. Also make sure that the cord is plugged in correctly to your phone and computer
If its charging but doesnt show anything in the pulldown, either your USB ports arent running correctly or the cord isn't supported for usb transfers.
I am having the same issue with my wife's phone. We both have Bionics and I have tried both cables on both PCs, mine works flawlessly on all, but her's will not detect a USB connection except to charge. Plugging the USB cable in shows battery charging but will not prompt for USB mode.
When Windows detects the device the driver install fails saying "Device unplugged"
Having usb debugging checked under apps can cause similar problems also.
I have to select Turn on usb storage. then unplug the cable and plug it in again. selecting turn on storage again usually does the trick.
This is on AOKP SELFKANG roms. YMMV
Have tried unticking USB Debugging, did not resolve issue.
Unable to toggle USB Storage as the phone does not detect and prompt when plugged in. Has worked previously, just stopped.
Just got the cable Verizon sent me, it's not even working either. I get no prompt to enable usb, I've tried usb debugging on and off, tried every port on my computer, this cable is the only thing that will not work in any port, the ports are good since I have other things in the same ones I've tried.
Now motorola is sending me a motorola cable after making me do a factory reset to test the one Verizon sent me -_-. God, I'm getting tired of reinstalling/setting up everything. There's no way to backup, etc without being rooted is there?
Let us know if the Motorola cable fixes it.
unfortunately, no you can't back up your phone w/o it being rooted.
that sucks about the cable, I would be all over VZW sending you a new phone if the cable from Moto doesn't work. It should be covered under the hardware warranty and should only cost you shipping.
have you tried either cable on a different computer altogether?
I had this very same problem on my samsung Captivate and then again on a brand new LG Thrill. they had worked fine connecting to W7 ultimate. then one day nothing. got the USB failed error. no USB connect option on the top bar. got the LG replaced last week. hooks up fine just like the last one.
Moto cable, 1st plugin and it works fine -_-.
at least it is working now, makes no sense why some of these devices can use literally any micro usb cable you can find (mine is this case) and others you HAVE to use the Moto cable or nothing will work.
That makes so little sense. I have two Motorola cables, the ones that came with the phone, and neither of them are working with my wife's phone.
from my Experience, Only the stock Bionic Cable works right. Others dont charge as fast and wont let me mount to pc. Not sure why. Guessing maybe the Bionic cable is set to higher frequencies since its a Dual core phone?
Well, as an old RF engineer I will make a guess. I recall folks saying the inside two pins carry the data. The data rate is certainly high enough to cause problems if the cable is made wrong. I will look in my old test equipment pile and see if I have a way of checking the cables I have.
I do not have a Motorola cable to test, but I do have cables from VZ that do not work. I may be able to check the data waveform in the time domain and see what it looks like (amplitude, slope, and shape). A TDR would be nice, anybody have one?
Uninstalling usb devices might help
I had the same issue with my bionic. Before the bionic I had the OG Droid, the X, and 2 X2's. So I had a plethora of seemingly identical OEM moto cables. I still couldn't say which one came with the bionic. That said, none of the cables worked consistently. I had the best luck uninstalling everything USB in device manager on my pc.
Go to start, right click on "computer", and then click on manage.
In the window that opens, on the left side under system tools click on device manager.
Then in the right side of the window navigate to USB controllers and expand.
Uninstall everything that is listed, but don't delete drivers if prompted.
After everything has been deleted, right click on computer at the top of the window and scan for changes.
This will reinstall everything and clear out any errors on the bus.
From there I have had mixed results depending on whether I had the phone connected when I rescaned for new devices. Sometimes it would work if I had the bionic connected and sometimes it wouldn't work unless I waited until all of the USB devices reinstalled and then connected the bionic.
Another thing that seemed to help was to unmount the sd card on the bionic settings>storage, and then remount.
Again, nothing worked consistently except replacing my bionic with a rezound.
OK, I have finally been able to get my Bionic to work. And the truth is, there was nothing wrong with the Bionic!
I asked VZ to send me a data cable, after two tries I still didn't have one. So I called Motorola and they sent me a data cable, the cable number is: SKN6378A.
Worked like a charm.
I think I know why this is happening. From my conversation with VZ customer support I can tell the cable list is not descriptive enough to help them make the correct selection.
Yes the data cable that came with the LG Revolution would not work on the bionic, also the new cable has a larger diameter.
Hey everyone!
This is really odd.. Recently I have started using my Chromecast in a new TV that has a USB port on it. Before I was just using a normal HD TV without USB port so had to use the wall plug to get power to the Chromecast.
First time I used the device on this TV I used my phone to set it up, worked fine, used it for a few hours turned off TV and next day I tried connecting to the Chromecast but phone kept saying that nothing was found on the network, tried using both my phones to set it up but it didn't let me ( I have an GPe HTC One M7 and also an iPhone) , used a computer to set it up and it worked fine. Today I tried connecting to it again same issue, but now for some reason even on the computer its not allowing me to set up the Chromecast. I've had to do a factory reset every time I try connecting the device to my wifi network. When it was being used on my old TV I have never come across this issue, used to leave it unplugged for days sometime a month went pass and it still worked fine but don't know why on this new TV it is doing this.
I'm not too sure what to do, do I contact Amazon and get a replacement or contact Google?
I purchased it from Amazon on the first day it was released here in the UK (19th March 2014).
Thanks
t's possible the TV USB port is not providing stable enough Power for the Unit.
Try by plugging it into the wall again...
If the problem remains then it is possible the new TV is heavily shielded and blocking the WiFi signal from having a good and stable connection.
Hi, I have very weird issue with my Nexus 6. It loses all signal strength after few seconds when I connect my cable to the phone. The most weird thing is, that it only happens, when I connect it with the cable to the PC (I'm a developer so it is most of the time), but when I connect it to my charger, everything works well.
I'm attaching screenshot where is possible to see this quirky behavior .
Any advice?
Thank you guys!
I keep getting a "Headset Not Supported" pop-up error when I connect the same pair of headphones that have worked perfectly until now.
I read another post that recommended reinstalling Smart Connect. It wasn't even on my phone, so I installed that and now my headphones work 1 in every 50 to 100 times I plug them in. On the successful attempts, Smart Connect recognizes the headphones being plugged in.
These headphones have the standard two connector lines on the plug, which I believe denote a stereo connection. I did find a work around by using an 1/8" to 1/8" adapter; the male plug has 3 connection lines. I'm not sure if the phone randomly decided that it wants that third line or what, but I'd really like to figure out what is going on.
Has anyone run into this and found an actual fix? I don't like having to rely on that adapter piece, as it's just another thing I have to carry around with me. It's also small n easy to lose, especially when drunk... and yes, I already lost it!
Thanks.
I bought an Elgato HD60S to be able to stream through my laptop or desktop from the phone. I connected the Usb C cable from sideport to elgato then HDMI from elgato to pc. Phone is recognized and its screen displayed in elgato's capture software. Now the issue; elgato loses image from the phone every other second or so and there's absolutely no consistency to screen capture. It also displays the gray distortation-like screen on every cutoff like old TV's used to do when the antenna wouldnt work. I looked it up and although there is not a whole lot of info on rog phone 2 regaering this issue, I read that a powered HDMI splitter would solve it, the issue being caused by HDCP. Ordered that, hooked it up, and still the same exact thing. Then, read elsewhere that the Asus Pro Dock is the only working way to stream from the phone. Ordered that, hooked it up, and still it's exactly the same. At this point I am absolutely clueless as to how to workaround this issue. Please help
FYI I am trying to stream PUBG and tried with both my laptop and desktop and multiple different cables, so there's that. Elgato doesnt mention the actual "HDCP" text until I reconnect the phone a couple times to it. Streaming works perfect with my Note 9 in the same setup.
Is it working now
Inorderd to bypass the hdcp block we need hdmi splitter
Is that working

Nope. Splitter didnt work for me. However, I did find a workaround which is to use "ASUS Pro Dock" in conjuction with Elgato. The culprit here is that you have to power the Dock with its Usb C port to make it work. When connected, it might seem like its still not working but it smooths out after a minute or so. Then when it is working, you can unplug that Usb C and it should remain working fine. In the end, I was still having issues with poor audio quality (crackling/popping and slowed-down speedwise), but got a fix for that as well.
The android 10 beta is here for the device try that and see if it works
@twinklejadoo bro i faced the same issue and solved it by using online hdmi splitter
