Hi there,
i've got a problem with my Mi3. Suddenly, it has "stopped" charging. Actually it charges when it wants to. Sometimes I plug it in and it begins charging, some other times it doesn't. However, it only goes charging for some minutes and then... bluff!! Stops.
I've managed to fully charge it if I turn the device off, then I plug the USB charger and, next, I turn it on again. The only way i've found.
However, I cannot connect it to my computer, it doesn't recognize the device at all. The computer shows "Windows cannot recognize the USB device because bla, bla, bla...", but it does this in a loop. I cannot stop it unless I unplug the device. Moreover, I cannot find the device in the Device Manager. I could flash a fastboot file this morning to check if the problem was in the ROM. No way.
Any idea or Suggestion?
Thanx!
Looks like you're USB has doomed.

I have a major problem with my Tilt, when it is off and I plug it in, the phone will not charge and instead just boots up into Windows Mobile. While turned on, the phone will not charge; nothing happens when I plug in the USB cable.
The USB connector *looks* OK, no obviously bent pins or damage compared side by side to other HTC phones, but I'm not an expert with a microscope.
Is this a lost cause or are there things I can try to get the device to charge?
i'm not sure my observations will help you but i noticed the following behavior ONCE...i was too lazy to re-test and confirm my theory, but here goes:
1. if the phone was improperly shut down, the phone would turn on and start booting as soon as i would plug in my wall charger (NON HTC, its a generic Motorola charger). in my case, my device charges fine once the boot up has cleared the boot splash screen.
2. using the usb cable plugged into my pc, the phone would NOT turn on when i would plug in the usb cable. i MIGHT have shut down the phone properly prior to trying this but my memory isn't keeping up with me right now
i guess what i'm trying to say is that i THINK the device is built to turn on the moment a charging source is available, that is if it was improperly shut down.
Thanks for that tip...my Tilt is now plugged in via USB and will charge whether or not it is on or off. I still have to try it with the regular AC adapter, but at least it's not dead!
Edit: Everything is good to go Thx for the tip
Hi Everyone,
I was running GR-11 last night. My phone started acting weird so i decided to reboot it. When it shut off it didnt turn back on. I hit the power and still nothing. I was eventually able to get into download mode with a combination of usb and buttons without battery. So i flashed back to stock. Still the same problem, if i turn the phone off i cannot get it to turn back on unless i pull out the battery, plug in the usb, put the battery in, wait for the charging screen then i can turn it on and remove the usb. However, when the phone is running it says USB connected even though there is no usb cable connected. If i leave the usb cable plugged in while the phone turns on i can use ADB but cannot mount as drive.
Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks
tldr; phone constantly says usb connected. Cannot mount as drive. Cannot use adb unless phone boots with usb connected.
Sounds like a broken usb port. Get a Warranty replacement.
Well darn.
I had read a thread about possible corrosion of the usb contacts on the phone so i used an emery board to clean the contacts but no luck. i guess it will have to go in for warranty repair on monday.

The handful of stock Froyos I've worked with all had sticky USB notification after use in development mode. They'd be unconnected but the icon and message remained.
If you can't do the extra clicks for mounting when the message is valid and connected; that plus your booting problem points to a port malfunction.

Yup my rogers corporate rep agress and they are sending me an advance replacement for delivery early next week.
Glad i was able to flash back to stock
I appear to be having wired issues related to the USB port as has been previously reported on the Galaxy S2.
When not plugged in to anything, it constantly says it is charging. It will not let me select between USB debugging mode as it says the cable is connected.
Despite it's belief that it is charging, when I actually plug it in to the mains to charge, it doesnt charge!!
If I power off the device, it shuts down correctly, however it will constantly switch between the grey battery icon, then a almost full green one, then off. It then wont allow me to turn on the device. Ive tried plugging it in to the mains (but I guess that as it wont charge this way, this is why it wont let me turn it on this way either) the only way I can boot it up is holding vol up, middle button and power together for 10 seconds or so. It then goes to CWM recover where I can reboot the device
If I plug in a jig, that allows me to connect a USB flash drive, it all seems to work OK. it no longer says it's charging, and i'm able to mount the drive.
The only way I can actually make it charge, is by plugging in to a PC.
Im very careful with my USB connectors, and I can only think that slight dampness may have entered as the phone has been with me in the bathroom during showers.
I dont want to send my phone in for repair, my first plan is to wait it out and hopefully any moisture dries out. Ive tried cleaning the inside of the USB port, but it makes no difference.
If I changed the USB port myself, a) is that a hard task, b) would it solve my issue?
I had a very similar problem with my note.
Solution was to take out the battery and leave the cover off, in a dry p;ace over night. It could definitely be related to dampness in your phone.
Posting for a friend.....
He just got the samsung tab. As soon as he got it home, he updated to the newest software to 3.2
Started the root process but quickly found out when he plugs his tab in via USB, it does not come up with an option for USB storage. His computer reads it as an audio file. He says he does have debugging checked.
Any ideas? If I can get more info from him, I will update.
This happened to me after I used a car charger that would at best only trickle charge... Does it react normally when plugged in to a wall outlet charge? Mine would still show as "discharging."
I never found a solution and mine was replaced by the Retailer.
not really sure if drivers are on this problem. try updating them though.
Hate to ask... Has he rebooted? I would try disconnecting the cable, toggling off usb-debugging and rebooting. Toggle it back on , then connect the cable....
Hi,
A few days ago i tried to connect my phone to the computer but the computer started making connect and disconnect sounds repeatedly. The phone wasn't able to connect to the pc and it didn't charge. I tried another pc with the same result, i also tried other cables again with the same result. But the phone still charged when I connected it to the charger.
Last night however my phone also stopped charging(AC). It was 1% when i woke up and it refused to charge (tried different chargers/cables). I only got it to charge the second time i turned it off and connected the charger. So, the usb port does still work, sometimes when i shut the phone down.
Is anybody familiar with this problem or do you think it's a hardware problem and should I bring it to the store.
Thanks,
