Hi.
Im having a problem wiht my sony Xperia Z. The problem is with USB port or something else i just cant figure it out.
When i connect my charger, Mobile charges fine. I just have to push charger inside the charging port in cell sometimes but most of the times its fine. But i cant connect it to pc via computer. I used same usb cable to charge, it was working. But then i used it to connect it to pc, It dint worked. I tried alot many other cables. When i connect the USB cable to Xperia Z and PC, nothing happens at all. NOTHING AT ALL. I need to reset my phone and do some other stuff via usb. Can any on please figure out whats the problem is? If it's some software issue or hardware problem??
I searched through forum and could not find any other thread so i started this.
Thanks for help in advance.

it's software problem .. I think you should download SEUS and reflash your rom , btw there are only charging cables.. are you sure that this cable isn't only charging..

I dint get what you are saying?? I tried many other carging cables, Every cable CHARGES but it does'nt work as USB cable. And If i cant connect my xperia z to computer how am i suppose to reflash my rom ??
Hello. I don't mean to sound rude but if you're saying you search can't connect USB and didn't find anything, I think maybe try to re-phrase your search terms. Try some of these http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=can't connect with usb
Also, cover the basics. Have you deleted any system apps. Tried USB Debugging Mode. What OS ?
Does it even attempt to install drivers, what does the device manager say ?
What does it do when you connect in flash mode, what about fastboot mode. I had an awful time making my Samsung galaxy s3 to connect via USB to my Mac, I would use my SD Card when installing roms, when I started playing with different ones, I learned real quick that some Roms worked flawlessly, some with some help, some roms wouldn't connect to USB at all. Although that was never the case with my XZ, once it installed the fastboot and fastmode drivers for Windows 7, it's never had an issue, I can't really remember before then.
Also wiggle the card and the connection around see if it quits charging. Those are a few things to try, good luck

I mean that there are cables made only for charging .. not for PC .. the cheap ones with the wall chargers.. they are only charging cable.. not data

Hi
I had exactly the same problem, phone can charge, but can't connect to PC (and doesn't charge from PC as well) .
Factory reset helped to resolve it.

No usb detection at ALL!
Hello,
I have a weird problem with my phone. It's been 3 days and I've tried everything that came to my mind!
First, the phone (Xperia Z3 Compact) was ok, then I noticed I'm low on battery (about 3%), I tried to charge it, connected to charger via micro usb port. Nothing happened, (like it has never been attached at all!) I did it several times, tested the charger and cable on other phones, worked properly on them.
then I tested with several chargers and cables, and tried to charge it with my laptop, even when connecting to the laptop (on Windows), it's like nothing even detected, nothing at all, and on the phone nothing changes (no charging, no data connection, etc.).
Then I tried to restart the OS to see if it solves the problem, but due to the battery-low situation, I couldn't boot it back on! (the battery icon kept coming on the screen). The thing is, on the state before initiating to load the OS (Only the battery icon, big(!) on the screen), it SEEMED to be charging (the charger LED turned on and connecting and disconnecting the cable made difference!). but everytime after several seconds, the SONY logo appeared, and then the smaller battery icon with a 1% text appeared, then the LED turned off and it seemed to be not charging. (I tried it several times, even with 3-vibrate resets, etc. no change)
But when I tried to load it in the Fastboot mode or Flash mode, my laptop detected it without problem. (And did some getvar commands via fastboot, no problem in that state). then I provided a magnetic charger, and charged the phone without problem with that to 100%. But still, in the Android OS, USB does not work at all, no charging via usb, no data mode, no usb detection AT ALL.
Long story short, I even tried these:
Resetting completely to factory settings,
Wiping cache partition,
Flashing (via flashtool) the stock ROM.
and I even flashed the phone with a third party ROM! Still no usb charging/detection! The USB only works in Flash and Fastboot mode!
What do I do?!
I got a wierd one. I got a new work laptop (8.1 old one was 7), and when I connect via usb it goes into some rapid loop of connected/disconnected a couple of times a second
I have pc companion installed, and went and manually installed the flashtool drivers for it also, no difference.

Interestingly, for me it doesn't work with the original Sony cable at my private laptop (Windows 8.1), but it does work with another USB cable at my work laptop (Windows 7).
Hmm, so a different cable did it for you. On mine I moved the cable to another port in the opposite side of the laptop, and it worked fine. I didn't think of trying a different cable. I haven't been game to re-try on the other port.
ok so here's my case:
phone charges well if connected to a chargher-only adapter through USB and charges correctly in it's Sony-socket
phone is not detected by the operating system and I tested it using 2 different cables (that I previously used succesgflly) with: three different PCs, 2 having windows 8.1 (nothing showing up in device manager), one having linux (tried lsusb with the phone connected and disconnected: same output) but...
Phone light's goes blue if I try to start in fastboot mode while connected to a PC (which of course doesn't happen when disconnected or connected to a charger).
I'd like to bring it to service (after trying a hard reset) but I need to backup my data and no idea on how to that without installing a recovery firmware (device is not rooted)
any idea?
Forgot to mention: when I plug the usb club, the experia makes the detection sound.
PS: in the past the USB detection when connected to a PC was faulty, acting like the cable was connected and disconnected continuosly. Previously the connection was working fine.
thanks!

Was anyone able to solve this problem?
My Sony Xperia Z C6603 isn't recognized by any windows PC,
from windows 7, 8, 8.1 to 10. The phone lights up showing it has been connected but the PC won't recognize it.
When i connect it to a charger, it charges just fine.
I have tried Turning n USB debugging ON and OFF, resetting the phone,nothing seems to work.
Any help?
You can try using flashtool to flash a stock FTF
You would use fastboot mode.
You can try a linux live session too to rule out windows
It may be your bios settings
It may be the cable, cables break all the time, get a new one.
HELP.

So I seem to have a very weird issue with the USB connection on my Sony Xperia XZ2 running Android 8.0.0 with the build version 51.1.A.11.51. It refuses to connect or charge on almost any computer. The phone doesn't seem to recognize that it's connected to a computer. The computer doesn't see that my phone is connected either. I tried different USB ports, different computers, and different cables and they all won't connect to the phone. The exception is my laptop, which has a dedicated fast-charging port. When I connect my phone to that port, the phone charges, but it doesn't recognize that it's connected to my laptop and the laptop doesn't see a device connected either. Enabling ADB on my phone doesn't seem to do anything.
The strange thing is that almost all other USB functionality works fine on my phone. The phone charges fine from both a normal power brick and a fast charging brick. Both analog and digital based audio adapter dongles works perfectly fine too. USB based Android Auto does not seem to work, but it still charges the phone when I connect my phone to the car.
I also noticed that if I plug my phone into a computer while the phone is off, it would briefly wake up to the Sony logo and have the charging light come on for a few seconds until the screen changes to the battery percentage. Booting up my phone while plugged in doesn't seem to fix the issue.
The bootloader is locked and it has the stock recovery, so I don't think fastboot works (but I'm willing to try if it fixes the issue).
I've already tried spraying electrical contact cleaner into the USB port and also tried cleaning the port with a small plastic zip tie. I don't know how long my phone has been like that since it's been over a month since I last connected it to my computer. I don't know anything else I could do besides resetting the firmware, doing a firmware update, or sending in my phone to Sony for repairs. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm willing to try it.

Upgrade to the newest stock version.
I recently got my USB-C port replaced by Razer because it was charging right and it out of nowhere stop syncing to Android auto. Now it charges fine but my car still won't recognize the phone, it will for a sec and then it disconnects. Also when I plug my earphones in, the audio still plays through the speakers, in option pops up to change the USB preference but it won't do it.

One thing is that some USB-C headphones don't have a AMP/DAC built-in. This is a common problem with Razer Phone 2 users, as it doesn't have one inside. So, if your headphone adapter or USB-C headphones don't have one built-in it won't work. 2, seems like Android Auto doesn't like some USB cables. Try some troubleshooting from at the "My Android Auto app isn't working" page on the Android Auto help page.
I was experiencing relatively the same thing. I tried cleaning and tightening the usb-c port on my phone. Didn't help. So I tried cleaning out the usb-c charging cable, the end that plugs into the phone. Problem solved. It works fine now, for the most part. Still will disconnect from Android Auto if I move the phone around to bunch. Or put the cable in a bind near the end that plugs into the phone.

Android auto and the adapter for the earphones used to work fine, it just happened out of nowhere before way before I sent the phone to get fixed like 2 weeks ago, the problems started last year but i think there was an update of some sort. It still won't connect, even when using the original adapter and my pc doesn't even pick up that the phone is even connected, it will just charge. I've already check the device manager to see if it was a bad driver but nothing. no matter what device i connect, it will just say "Charging connected device via USB". ive Already tried USB debugging, disable USB audio routing, cleaning it, and apps to manually control it.
Hi
Just plugged my Android 12 Samsung S21U into my Windows 11 PC but nothing showed on the PC. I woke the phone and tapped on the "charging" notification but nothing happened.
Went to developer settings and set the Default USB Config (which was off) to "Transfer Files"
Set USB debugging to be on too.
Still no avail.
Any help?
Is dex working? Or maybe a driver issue?
I've just installed Dex.
Samsung said I should make sure the phone is in the correct MTP when using the dialpad to type in *#0808# - which it is.
Tried installing the drivers from the Samsung website (although the UK version of the site doesn't offer any drivers) - not working.
I can connect the phone using the "link to Windows" but this won't let me connect normally.
Both Windows and the phone are fully up to date with all the latest.
Just restarted the phone and can connect to Dex, although I think it's doing it wirelessly rather than through the cable.
Yes, have tried another PC (another W11 PC).
Yes, have tried another cable (both high speed purple and low speed).
Yes, have tried another phone on both PCs and that shows fine.
What worries me a little is that Device Manager doesn't show anything connected to the PC when I connect the phone.
Turns out you need the official Samsung cable, which is USB-C to USB-C only.
My PC doesn't have a USB-C connector so looks like I'm gonna have to purchase one.
Shame they've gone the Apple route - my old Huawei P30 Pro will connect for data transfer using any old cable, of which we have loads around these days.

Pretty sure this is false. My S21U gets recognized on my PC with a normal USB A to USB C cable.
Agreed. That is just not true, I've used a USB A to C worked fine
Hmm, maybe my three cables I tried are too old?
They're from Amazon and don't particularly state they work with Samsung phones.
The plot thickens.
