make sure your Usb cable is true
try it with other device (for charging)
if you can charge it
for data exchange
go to setting>Storage>3dot>Usb Computer Connection> Tik MTP mode

I tried with another charger and the pronlem persists. I tried also to reflash rom but nothing. Has anyone replaced usb plug?

I've been working with another member on this issue. Go here and read through my suggestions and see if one helps. The first thing I would try, is to uninstall sync manager and all drivers for the phone from your pc. Then, connect the phone and see if it reinstalls sync and the drivers. I hope this helps.

I think is problem is large. After update htc one sucks. no doubt it added some great features. Or it may be hardware prob as always with HTC specially with HTC one X
usb problem
mine has also stopped working. does charge but not connecting to computer . running xp so drivers ok . definitely phone problem as friends htc one connects fine..
Disable usb debugging, it will connect

usb problem
thanks , but tried everything. wont connect in fastboot, recovery or anything. cannot relock bootloader or return to stock so just returning it for warranty as it is with fingers crossed. unless someone can tell me if possible without connecting to pc.
are you using a usb 3.0 port
usb problem
usb 2.0 . i have two friends with htc one's and they both connect just fine.
Same issue here! Last night pulled my phone out and it said "incompatible charger, please use original charger". I wasn't even charging the phone, and now it wont charge or connect to PC unless the phone is off. Tried turning off debug/developer/power save/fastboot/ etc with no luck so far.

Poor USB Connection

Did anyone else experiencing poor/unreliable usb connection on htc one? I mean it keeps disconnecting randomly while connected to pc, and imediatly connect back again. I wanted to s-off the phone but not succed because of this problem. Tried 2 computers and also 2 usb cables. Should i send it to repair?

Try cleaning the phone's USB port first (for example using a compressed air can, or any other method you find suitable), maybe it's just some debris in there.
If that doesn't fix it, then yes, off to repair, because it will only get worse over time.

I would say it's cause the PC connection, uses different/more pins, than a normal charger... so for the time being the charging ones are still good, but not the ones to "talk" to your PC.... since it does "come and go", it could just be debris in there.
Or it could be a hardware problem that could get worse over time.
i will try to clean the usb port and also another usb cable, and i will came back with and response if worked or not

[Q] USB Data Transfer problem + Battery drain

Hi guys ! I am having bad luck with a C6903 phone.
First of all, my battery is losing 4-5% per hour in stand by mode, even though the phone is spending 99% of the time in deep sleep. I tried killing every app, I tried safe mode, formating the micro SD card, I did a factory reset. Nothing worked.
The second problem is that the USB data transfer is not working, so I can't root the phone, in order to see more detailed battery statistics, nor can I flash another Rom.
So I'm pretty stuck. Does anyone have any ideea about what could be wrong? Could these 2 problems be related? Could there be a broken IC that drains the battery and is also causing the USB data transfer failure? Or is it more likely that the battery is broken, and it has nothing to do with the USB problem?
I am ready to order some replacement parts, but I don't know what I should buy. Battery? USB port? Charger flex cable?
Please help!
Why is your data transfer not working? Activated debugging?
What process drains the most battery?
Sent from Xperia Z1
Yes, I activated USB debugging and I tried both USB connection modes: MTP and MSC. Moreover, when I connect the phone to the computer via USB, if I go to settings -> about phone -> status -> Battery status, it says "Charging (AC)". So it thinks it is connected to an AC socket, and not an USB port.
Something is wrong with the phone, but I don't know what. Either the micro USB port, or a chip. Is it possible that the PM8941 power management chip is faulty and it is causing both problems ? Is there any other chip that could be causing this problems ?
The process that drains the most battery is "Cell Standby". It takes usually 35-40%. But if I am using the phone for a couple of minutes, then the "Screen" process equals the "Cell standby" process. Which seems reasonable. The processes seem fine.

There is an Option where you can choose what you want when the phone is connected to USB, Charging Only, Media or Storage. If the option is on Charging then is normal to me it Charging only and it appear "Charging (AC).

Where is this option? I can't find it
Try another usb cable.
I did. I tried at least 4 different cables. It is a hardware problem. I'm sure of it.

You might have a defective device. Just bring it in to the shop and have it checked
Try another PC, install correct drivers...
So much more to try before you send it back.
Also, when you say data transfer does not work, does that mean you cannot send data between pc and phone or the that the PC does not recognise the phone at all?

Yes...I tried 3 different PCs. By data transfer, I mean that the PC doesn't recognize the phone, and the phone doesn't recognize the PC. And also when I go to device manager on the PC, there is no device that is marked as unknown or nothing. I installed PC Companion and it doesn't detect the phone either.
The thing is that it's a second hand phone so I can't send it back. I can fix it at a service, but they charge too much. I would rather buy a new phone than pay for fixing this one. The only option that I am considering is fixing it myself. But I am not sure which chip is faulty.

[Q] Xperia Z (NO USB Connection)

Dear Genius - Developers - Friend - Specialist,
first of all I would like to say THANK YOU for all of your help.
You helped me to rescue my loved (Xperia arc S) and it was totally ****ed up.
But of course how could it be different, I´ve had made another mistake and I knew it was my fault...
But I need help __Urgently__
Problem :
Xperia Z is locked by a 3x3 Pattern-Lock
so far so good
But I have lost my Pattern, thus i´m confused and I don´t know how to deal with it.
Next my Computer doesn´t notices my Smartphone, although it is connected to the PC.
Possible Solutions:
Sony PC Companion isn´t working because I do not have a USB Connection
SUS is no longer available
The Problem is "The USB Connection"
I´ve opened the back door cover to look if it were bricked.
I do not have root or CWM or any other ROM
It is just the stock Rom...
I would be very happy if you can help to solve this....
ADB is not listening this phone...
I've got this problem with my old Arc S .My problem with Arc S was pm8058 (Power Management IC ) that was damaged and because of that IC i lost my USB Connection Completly.
Try to Connect A USB device with OTG cable if the phone Recognize The Device This Means you have data connection .
Example :Connect A USB mouse to phone if the pointer is shown on screen the USB Data link is working.
I think your problem is USB female Socket on Phone itself or Power Management IC that located on MainBoard.
Another thing :
Connect your Phone With USB Cable to a PC ,if the phone heats after about a minute the problem is IC.

Note 5 USB Port Not Working Except for Slow Charging

I have researched the issue of my Note 5just being able to slow charge via USB, and not be able to do anything else. I have tried all the proposed solutions I found, but can not fix the issue. The things that I have noticed to not work are:
Fast Charge: Cable and USB charging is detected, but cannot fast charge. I have tried the same charger and cable on other S7 edge, and it able to Fast charge. Fast charging is enabled in the battery menu
Connect to PC: Whenever connected to any PC, the PC shows “USB Device Not Recognized." I have the latest version of Smart Switch and the latest drivers. I have tried multiple computers and windows 7, 8 and 10. I have also tried to connect to the PC when the phone is in Download and Recovery mode and get the same error.
Connect to any OTG peripheral: Nothing is detected by the Note 5. Same cable working on other device.
Connect to Gear VR: When connecting to Gear VR, it gives the chime, the black screen with the little x in the corner appears for a second and then it goes back to the home screen.
What I have tried to do to fix:
Different cables/chargers/USB ports
Checked if any of the 5 pins are broken in the cable
I have lifted the tongue of the charging port in the phone via tooth pick
Done a factory reset
Any insight on this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks

Have you tried different 2A charging bricks? A regular 1A charger would still take a long time to fully chargeNote5.
You could also be looking a bad USB-port or a faulty battery, both of which would be covered under warranty provided no large physical damage is evident on your device.
Thanks for the reply. I have tried the original Samsung charger, 2A, 1A, and 0.5A charging bricks, but the phone shows either Cable or USB charging.
About the faulty battery, will that cause the PC and other peripherals to not detect the phone?

Same happened to me two days ago. I restored an old backup, done a factory reset and restored my actual rom again and problem solved. Idk what the problem was related to. Try wiping cache again, maybe it helps.

I have done a wipe from TWRP, but the issue was not fixed. I can not change ROMs etc as I can not connect the Note 5 to the PC via USB cable, even in TWRP.
Was your phone just not Fast Charging, or it wasn't being recognized by the PC, etc.
Thanks
Actually y have the same problem, unfortunately I don't have root access.
Try the app called USB host check, maybe they can help you.
Is not possible to me because the PC don't detect the phone connection and obviously I can't make the root.

I have the same issue tried the same fixes. No luck. Have you found a solution please?
I ultimately had to change the motherboard. Changing the charging port did nothing.
However, I suspect it was a corrupted firmware. If you can somehow flash a latest stock firmware and check, that would be great.
In trying to fix the firmware I had corrupted Stock ROM. Since I could only use WiFi to transfer files via WiFi FTP type apps, and I didn't have a working ROM backup on my phone, after the Stock ROM was corrupted, I could not upload any new files to flash with TWRP so I had to change the motherboard.

If you see the "USB Device Not Recognized" message when you connect to the PC, then I think the charging port is fine. It is some issue with the firmware as phone is not able to provide the correct PID and VID to the peripheral devices to identify itself. The charging port and its circuit doesn't hold that info. If possible, try to flash a stock firmware from TWRP as ODIN will not work (I am not aware of the exact procedure). Just MAKE SURE you have make a backup of your current setup and leave it on the phone as if you have an unsuccessful flash, you will not be able to use ODIN or ADB as your cable will not work.

I've messed up, I've already clear the cache, Dalvik , Data and System without having backup Rom/firmware in my internal memory. I've try using OTG. Still no hope. Twrp won't regconized it. :crying:
If there no hope to solve this... I think ,I will sell my note5 for replacement parts , sadly.

I got into the same problem. I then ordered a replacement motherboard from China and installed it. After that it is working flawlessly.
I'm in same predicament pc won't recognize phone and charging is extremely slow. Attempting to restore old twrp backup or flash older firmware. Crossing fingers

Are you still interested in selling the phone?
Same problem but with 2 phones
My note 5 and my friends S6 edge were totally fine, but on our farm (which now i found that has a low voltage eccentricity at around 190 V), we put them on my charger (the original charger that came with the note 5) and both of our phones now have the same problem, they charge very slowly ( up to 6 hrs for a full charge) and are not detected by any pc using 3 cables that work with other phones normally, the charger itself is okay, and works well with other devices (at home of course, and fast charge works with other devices).
I have tried everything, restart, safe mode, delete cache, charge while its off.. with a number of chargers and cables, it does not make any difference.
If any one knows how to fix this, your help is appreciated.
Mine is a little different, My Note5 is not charging at all via USB but works fine with wireless charging. In short, even if i plugged it via PC or via charger, it does not charge anymore.
But I noticed something, when I am in TWRP recovery, my USB OTG drive is readable and when i am in download mode, Odin reconizes the Note5's COM port. I did a reflash of the stock ROM hoping this will do the trick. but it failed. still does not charge at all via USB.
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance. all answers appreciated.
this seems like you have faulty usb port .
