Hi. My friend got an Xperia Z last night. The phone charges normally when connected to a charger, but refuses to charge if it is connected to a laptop. I tried charging other phones using the same usb charger, and it charges just fine. I then tried using other USB cables to charge this phone, but in vain. Is there a setting that could have disabled USB charging? Could someone please help me?
Note: The phone is running Android 4.2.2
Enable usb debugging in developer options. I don't know. But this worked for me

Changed USB settings to connect in mass storage mode. Now the phone charges over USB. Thanks for the clue
I think 4.2.2 has a bug.
I find it won't charge on usb with pc as well as most charger & cable won't work.
Just try changing to mass storage mode and it seem to work.

i'm having a problem with the usb of this device its a sprint galaxy tab i brought it used. under menu / settings / wireless and network i dont see an options for usb and when i plug in the usb cord to the computer theres a red x on the battery, windows doesnt even prompt me to install drivers i'm lost on what to do next
Try to use a different usb cord. . . By the way. . . What rom are you using in your tab? Because it seems that BOCA ROM doesnt have usb setting
i'm using the stock sprint rom and the usb cord is brand new i brought it from the t-mobile store yesterday
also what would the cord have to do with no usb options showing up under wireless and networking
Use a different usb port, and try a different pc.
Under setting>>wireless & network>>usb setting which do you choose? This option is important as your usb cord function depend on the selection of usb option. If you choose kies samsung, make sure you have the software install on your PC. If mass storage, make sure your have SD card inside and its not corrupted.
The battery with the x red cross i think is normal each time you connect it to PC. If you connect it to AC plug, then the x cross will not show.

Ok there is a similar post on this. Plug tablet in and charge it. While tablet is charging unplug your pc and then reboot it up to reset the usb ports. take your tablet and connect usb cable to pc. Ensure you have the samsung usb drivers loaded. Put your tablet in download mode and using odin try reflashing. You can try this if you don't have a second pc.

Well, i just bought a dock for my dell streak 7 running Honeystreak. When i try to connect the USB cable into the back of the dock while the tablet is in place my win7 computer doesn't recognize it at all. The tablet doesn't even show its connected! can someone help please!!?
Are you getting any error message ?
Look in your printer and devices folder, you should see it show up as a media device.
I looked and i didn't see anything... I know the dock has to work because the charging (from charging port not UBS port) and hdmi work.

Keep in mind, the charging usb port is SEPERATE from the data usb port. I use this dock and I just charge off it, if I want to use data, I use a 2nd cable connecting to it.
I think I tried that. I connect the dock (VIA charging port) then I connect the data cable(VIA mini usb) to the computer. It should charge and connect to the computer but it still doesn't recognize anything. Could it be the rom?

Well to confirm, can you use a normal cable to connect to your PC? Without the dock that is.
Also as for the rom, Ive used djsteve 2.2.2 and honeystreak, dock works in both. I know on WinXP however I needed to use a diff driver for the MTP Device.
Unfortunately my normal cord died and i coudnt find an original replacement so i got a dock instead. The original cord used to work without trouble though.

Got a PSP USB cord to plug in? Or try the PS3 controller plug. =p All those could work to test with on the dock.
Hey all. Wondering if it's possible to charge the phone while using the following setup.
OTG cable into the phone. Powered USB hub into the OTG cable.
Can the phone even be charged while using OTG, since OTG is meant to power other devices?
I'm trying to find a decent setup to allow me to charge the phone, use a wired controller, and possibly an MHL. I could always just use a Bluetooth controller and the Media Link HD and charge the phone, but is it possible the other way?

I have been battling an issue with my HTC One when I use a USB cable for data transfers. PC will recognize phone for two seconds when plugged in and starts charging but immediately stops and I get the "USB host cable is plugged in - Unable to charge the device" message as if I had plugged in an OTG cable. I have the same issue when plugging into my car stereo for music playback so the issue is not PC drivers, but I did try different drivers and still nothing.
Does this sound like the usb hardware drivers are screwed up inside the Android OS? Any way I can pull the drivers from another ROM and replace the ones in my phone? Phone charges fine when plugged into the wall charger. Any ideas?
Did you try a different usb cable?
