[Q] Connecting phone with dead battery to laptop caused BSOD - LG Optimus 4X HD

Running the latest CM10.1 my phone's battery was dead so I connected it via USB to my laptop (which was being powered by A/C) to charge it and about 10 seconds later my (Win7 x64) laptop had its first ever BSOD! So I restarted the laptop but it seemed to get stuck on the BIOS screen every time but then I unplugged the USB cable connecting the phone and the laptop then booted normally.
Anyone ever experience anything like this? Any idea what could have caused it? A driver issue maybe? Since this was my first ever BSOD I'd really like to know why it happened since I'm really paranoid about my laptop's health

Maybe a power surge do u have any other usb devices connected

Is bsod means blue screen? If yes then it happens with me a lot of time. It is the driver problem. Uninstall all adb, fastboot and device specific driver and reinstall device specific driver only. Also shut your phone down and reinsert your phone's battery and boot it up. Then connect your device in charge only or any mode. USB Tethering caused me blue screen and CM 10.1 too. I hate CM.

New BL + powered off USB charging = windows BSOD?

So two key events happened with my phone - the replacement battery I ordered finally arrived, and I also crawled out from under a rock and flashed the ICS partition and pengus77's CM10.
I was advised to calibrate the replacement battery by charging it from 0 to 100 with the phone powered off. So I streamed a random high res youtube video to drain the battery as fast as possible, then powered off the phone and plugged it into a USB port on my work laptop (a HP Elitebook running Windows 7 Enterprise x64).
The phone started charging (battery animation screen appeared) - and then my laptop started to install drivers. A few minutes later, I got a windows BSOD - yes the blue screen of death, not the black screen on android.
I initially thought something else caused the BSOD, so I left the phone plugged into my laptop and rebooted. As soon as my laptop got past the "starting windows" screen, it BSODed again. Didn't even get to the "Please wait..." screen.
Tried to reboot again - BSOD before getting to the "Please wait..." screen. Finally I suspected my phone was the culprit, so I unplugged it. Another reboot - it successfully got to the "Please wait..." screen, and then I plugged in the phone (still off), triggering a BSOD in under 10 seconds, before I could even get the field to input my password.
Rebooted with the phone plugged in but powered on this time, and my laptop fully booted all the way, no BSODs. But if I powered off the phone and plugged it in, BSOD! Looks like I'll have to wait till I get home to my AC charger before I can calibrate this battery
This is quite strange - I never had any problems like this on the old GB partition, if I were to plug in my phone to the laptop with the phone powered off.
Has anyone else experienced such an issue before? If it helps, my work laptop is a corporate machine so I don't have admin access over many of its functions (though I can still install and uninstall programs like normal), and it's loaded to the brim with corporate bloatware, and it's possible these properties contributed to the BSOD.
Charging(forming) new battery via usb is never recommended to be honest
Most usb device don't provide enough power or stable voltages like charger designed for our phone
I personally never liked charging via usb(most usb hub's dont work properly also if they need to provide current to hungry device(our phone example)..
I have no prob's with that options and also using custom battery 1700mah...
I have no sod's on win but have read that people had problems and sods sometimes with usb charging...
It's hard to pinpoint exactly where problem lies,could be your low power usb on motherboard crashing your win or something else..
Hmm that sounds likely. I'm back home anyways and will use my AC charger to condition the battery.
I remember that on the old CM10 nightlies (before the call bug was fixed), the USB charger always BSODed my phone...
... an easy solution would be to start using a real operating system on your computer instead of windows

Believe me, I do - I use Linux as my main OS on my home computer, and only boot into Windows for games
However this is a corporate laptop that doesn't actually belong to me and I can't meddle with it like that.

[Q] One more charging problem with Nexus 7?

Hello! After some experiments with POGO contacts on my Nexus 7 3G I have the following situation:
1. The normal USB-charging can not properly start. The battery state in the Settings menu eventually changes from Charging to Discharging and back, the battery level goes down as it is indeed discharging. If the tab is off, then the charging animation is not shown completely in an infinite loop.
2. No any connection can be established with a computer using USB cable. Windows 7 machines just ignore this connection without any traces. Windows XP machines repeatedly show warnings about a non-recognized usb device although all drivers were preinstalled.
3. If I put a USB-OTG cable into the tab (even if the cable is empty from other side) android shows that the battery is charging. Neththertheless, the tab in this state correctly recognizes flash drives as it did previously.
4. The POGO charging contacts are alive. The charging is normal. Moreover, this charging alllows to normally connect the tab to computer via USB cable.
I used the last feature to return to the stock ROM and to lock the bootloader, so the device is ready to go to service. But are there some chance to fix the problem by my own?
Thank you!

Phone won't connect via USB

A couple of days ago I installed this ROM on my P880. Everything worked just fine except for the torch app, a known bug and whatsapp has some difficulties with changing from landscape to portrait mode or vice versa (I hardly use landscape mode so not much of a problem). However, when I connected my P880 to my computer today using the USB cable, neither my phone nor my pc gave any response or errors - nothing happens. My phone claims to be "discharging" when connected to a computer, but is does charge. The same thing happens when I plug my P880 charger into the wall outlet - nothing, but is does charge. My device is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked
Things I have tried so far:
Use 3 different cables
Use different PC's
Reboot phone and and switching it off/on
Disable USB debugging
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Is keeping the ROM mandatory to you? If not you can always change, I think. Not a very good resolution, but since not a pro, not anything else I can think of..
I'm willing to switch ROM, but I like this one when it works. the weird thing is that the USB connectivity suddenly stopped working. I didn't change any settings nor made I any adjustments to my phone. Also, when I turn my phone off and connect it via USB to my computer, it does get recognized and my P880 displays the charging animation. But when my PC begins looking for drivers it suddenly crashes (BSOD)

I got the BSOD several times too, with different ROMs. In my case it is caused by using Windows 8 and shutting the phone down (or rebooting it) while it is connected in anything other than 'Charging' mode. We know that Windows 8 drivers have issues with this phone, and this is just another of those problems.

that cm is basically an alpha version, it was the first rom on 4.3 we got for our device. plus, the kernel in it is also 3.4 alpha instead of usual 3.1 which is more stable, so check out official CM 10.2 for our device. you should not have any major issues with it.
When I plugged my phone into my AC charger this morning, It bleeped and confirmed that it was indeed charging. I tried my connecting to my PC and it connected like it should. I didn't turn my phone off overnight, nor have I tried any fixes. It seems like a self-breaking and fixing ROM

I will try the official CM 10.2. Is the kernel the only difference? (I'm fairly new to custom ROMs)
Thanks for the help everyone :good:

[Q] USB Connection not detected - Strange charging bahavior

Well this problem drives me crazy.
My phone (i9070) doesn't make any sound when I plug it on my computer or charger and no charging indication appears either on the phone.
On computer side device appears under the storage devices.
However is seems that the power connection is working since if I restart the phone while the power plug is still connected the charging indicator appears. In addition after the restart the battery seems to reach 100% extremely soon (which is not normal at all). Unplugging the charger (or the computer) doesnt detected either by phone, the charging indicator is still active until restart.
I tried to factory reset the device and still "no juice".
I have tried 3 different cables with two computers where the device was connected few days ago without any problem.
I don't know what should I suspect.
Faulty battery? Faulty data connection on phone plug? OS based issue?
Any ideas?

What ROM and what kernel you are using?
Sent from my GT-I9070 using Tapatalk
Sorry forgot to mention these info:
Kernel
3.0.31-CoCore-EP-8.2
Updated to 8.2 after the problems I had CoCore 8.0 until the problem appeared.
ROM
LightJB v1.2
I used to work with JellyMod v4.0 until the problem appeared and I switched to LIghtJB v1.2 to test if the problem fixed but the same behavior here.
Should I replace my battery?
Is there any way to check if the USB connection gets detected by the phone hardware (a diagnostic procedure)?

Put the phone in download mode, connect to PC via USB cable and open Odin. If the phone connects, I recommend a reflash with one firmware.

The phone is not responding on the cable when it is connected to its usb port.
Computer doesn't detect any device either.

Is it charging? Bad cable? Change USB port on PC, put it in some other.
You said you have charging problems? It is not shown (in phone, procentage is not going up) or it is not charging at all?
Luckily for u it's a broken flex (cheap) it costs $10 including tools to fix it yourself on ebay

I also have the same problem.....

[Q] Charging via PC USB

Still waiting on my dock to arrive but noticed something today. I had my SP hooked up to my Windows 8 PC via the USB to top up the charge and noticed that if my PC goes into sleep mode (i.e. screen shuts off, etc.) the phone doesn't charge. Once I log back in it starts back up again. Found that strange.
I'm assuming it will be the same on the dock if hooked up the the PC? Sucks if it is as it won't charge overnight that way. Is there anyway around it? Is this a phone issue or Windows thing?

PC powersafe settings.. You should be able to change this via the BIOS settings but I dont have the proper knowledge of this

Its windows powersaving. Look at your Powersaving software (if you have one). Maybe there is an option where you can set what exactly will shutdown after some time. For example, screen, hard drives, usb sockets. When you have laptop It won't be difficult i think. On desktop PCs without such software you can look in some windows powersaving options or as was in previos post said - in BIOS.
I dont have win 8 or even 7 so I cant say exactly where you should looking for.
Thanks guys. I'll check it out when I get home to see if there are any config type settings I can use. I'll update if there is.
