[Q](Solved) Micro usb problem

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!

Usb Port broken

Hi, My Usb-Port is broken. I´m using Ginger Real 2.0. Is it possible to flash a Stock Rom via CWM?

...question...if your usb port is broken how do you recharge your device?

Charging is working. Only the connection to the PC doesn´t work. Drivers and the Cable are ok. With a other Galaxy Ace i can connect.

Probable Solution
My phone's USB was also not working but I made it working. What you can do is first check whether your phone USB port is having any salt deposits (yes, salt deposits because of drying of un-noticed spilled water) if it is there clean it with any good quality cleaning fluid. Second you can try to push up the USB connector (chip on which USB connecting gold colored plates are sticked) to the screen side of the phone BUT NOT TOO MUCH. Try these when phone is off and battery is taken out. Do it carefully or you will end up in breaking your USB connector. These methods have worked for me, but try it on your own risk. I don't take any responsibility. Best luck.

[Q] My Note problems

Dear my friend... my question is ..
my mobile phone is always charging while not connected to the charger. and the screen is always on. when I was off the screen, the screen will open by itself ... and also when the mobile phone is switched off ... charging indicator charging show up although no plug inserted. sorry my bad english ...

You are not providing any useful information.. Wich rom are you on? Wich kernel?
Tapatalking on my n7000

May be a contaminated usb port. Check for dust particles and clean it gently. If that does not work may be port is fault. Get it checked if you have warranty

Ok i will be check the usb inlet port... thanks alots guy... will be inform

Check if the screen can be off when your phone is connected to the usb cable. If this is the case then just get a tight usb connector and connect to your phone and disconnect it a couple of times to clean out the port.

Good to know is solved

USB OTG with charging?

Anyone had any luck with these cables? Specifically using an external DAC while still powering the phone. It's possible on my Nexus 7 with a custom kernel.

+1 Very interested in this as well.

I am using one of these cables, but in a different manner, ie I am accessing a WD Passport 1TB external drive. (does not have ac in) Both my drive is powered AND my phone is charged. (tried using both a 10kmAh external battery pack as well is direct AC adapter.
Know it's not exactly the setup you are using, but as far as cables go, the phone seems to work well with this setup. YMMV

If I may ask, where did you get the cable? The only one I found so far is on Amazon and review there say that it will not charge the phone, just the external device.

Got the same cable and its not working, do we need a special kernel to make it work?
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app

On my Nexus, I did have to flash the right kernel. I'm guessing that will have to happen here too.

Why not make a cable that will charge and otg

Just an update. I ordered one of these http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=261170130579&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=87388073446
Should have it next week to test but based on the seller's description and testing on similar devices, sounds promising. I'll report back.

I have just bought it.
Initially USB hosting works, but I have no chance to charge at this time.
-----update-----
The female micro USB jack does not charge the phone like the one for Galaxy Tab.

Do you think we still need to add a 40.2k ohm resistor just in the galaxy s3 and will a stock kernel work?

I would like to add I managed to get an OTG + charging cable working for the Note 2 (N7100) using a cable made with these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953061
But... the 4.1.2 update stopped the USB from working on my Note 2, and someone else is reporting a similar problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38611244&postcount=42 . What happens is the Note 2 does detect it's using a dock, but the USB functionality doesn't work for some odd reason (even after a reboot).
I will reply again if it starts working in a future update.

Probably the same as the s3 - shorted pins = otg+no charging, resistor fools the phone into thinking it has an accessory/dock that can charge safely.

It sees that it's in a "dock" but nothing I plug in will work. It does charge though. If I short out the pins I get host mode, but no charging. This is with the Jedi rom, not stock.

[HELP]USB port/Charging port is not functioning?

Anybody out there knows how to solve my problem, my phone's usb port or charging port is not funtioning, I try to charge with my moto charger but no response, but when I try my charger to charge other devices, there's no problem, it do charging, what should I do? Does my usb port/charging port is brick/damage??

Have you tried other cables with your phone? For a while I had charging issues with my original cable... I had to position the cable at almost an angle to get the contacts to connect. Then I decided I was tired of having a phone that didn't always charge at night so I got a new Staples brand cable and had no issues since. So point is try a different cable to see if the problem is your phone's hardware or the cable's.

Thank you for the suggestion but I already try other usb cable, but still no response. Maybe I'll go to a technician to see if what happens to it.

Chances are the soldered contacts broke. Hope it didn't pull up any of the PCB board then theres no fix short of replacing the board. Good luck. FYI if your not a repair tech I wouldn't attempt the fix myself.
