Hello all. I'm TK, newb who has been lurking for a while. The forum has led me to some awesome changes with my Evo, but that may be catching up with me. I'm still rooted and running CM 7 with SZ 1.01, and none of my computers are able to recognize the USB drive on my phone, regardless of which cable I use.
I can't get ADB to work on my PC, so I'm not able to perform any commands for the phone.
Can anyone help me with this issue? It would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Do you have debugging(in application settings) on when trying to use adb? What about allow mock locations? Try turning debugging off and then turn it back on(while plugged in USB). If that doesn't work you could always go to recovery mode and enable USB toggle and get it connected that way. Also make sure you're actually pulling down the notification bar and selecting "mount".

Does your phone get recognized at all on your computer when you plug it in? If not you may have a hardware problem -> usb port is loose.
On my original cord that came with the phone I had to trim off about 2 centimeters off of the plastic to go in far enough to have my Toshiba laptop to read it. I have had to do the same thing to several cords since. Maybe your usb?

Yes, my computer just says that it doesn't recognize the hardware. it charges just fine by the computer.
I'm running ClockworkMod for my recovery, I'll check for USB Toggle there.
No joy on finding USB Toggle.
It's called something different. Can't remember but it's there, I believe. I've only been in Clockwork recovery like once.

When i connect my G2 phone to the computer it use to have a notification to tell me it was connected to a computer and let me turn on usb storage mode. When i plug it in to my computer it does nothing just sits there charging like it was plugged in to a wall charger no option to go to usb drive mode. I am using CryogenMod 6.1.1 any ideas?
I tried 2 different cables and computers...
You might not have the proper drivers installed on your computer.

I don't think its a driver issue because it comes up as a removable disk no matter what computer i am on. It seems like it's on the phones side there is no notification like there used to be. This all started today. was working perfectly before. I have not clue what could of done this I haven't made any drastic changes on my phone or anything.
I don't know what happen i restored it back to another restore point i had it started working again! i don't know how or what happen.

You've probably got usb debugging enabled. Disconnect your phone from the computer, disable usb debugging and then connect it again.

The phone was always on debugging mode, and I still always got the USB connected notification. I think it was an Ap I downloaded that messed with the startup programs. I am not completely sure it is that but was the only major change in my phone since this started happening. So IDK glad its resolved through the restore and backup.
I've scoured the forum to an answer to my problem but I've not yet found any so hopefully you guys can help.
Somehow I managed to soft-brick my Epic 4g, just been having all sorts of problems. Anyway I'm able to get in download mode just fine so I should be able to restore my phone no problem right? Wrong.
The problem I'm having is that my computer won't freaking recognize my phone when it's plugged in. Here's what I'm doing:
1) Start Odin, have phone ready in Download Mode
2) Load up the PDA file
3) Plug USB cord in to Phone
Once I plug the cord in to the phone my computer says that it does not recognize the device (or that it's malfunctioned or some such thing).
I've tried everything to fix this! Here's a weird bit of success though:
This morning I turned on my phone, did the 3-button combo to get to clockwork recovery then plugged my phone in. The phone was recognized!! I rebooted, went to download mode and Odin recognized it! At this point I tried flashing my stock kernel and it failed. Now I'm no longer able to get in to recovery using the 3 button combo and my computer no longer recognizes my USB connection again in download mode.
Am I totally screwed here? What's up with the USB??
OH! Just wanted to add: I'm using Windows 7 x64 and I do have the correct USB drivers installed.
hmmm
Have u tried redownloading the samsung drivers? They really ***** out sometimes...
I have. I've actually gone through and tried the x86 and x64 drivers listed on the forums as well as the official samsung drivers.
Usually when Windows says the device is unrecognized or has malfunctioned it has to do with the USB port you're using not having enough power. The stock Epic USB cable also sucks because its long and skinny which leads to more power drop. Try using a better quality USB cable (I always use a blackberry cable when flashing) and connect it to a USB port on the back panel of the computer that comes directly off of the motherboard.
Some USB ports may work better than others - for instance on my Dell E series laptops I can't flash when using the USB ports on the left side of the machine, but the ones on the right work perfectly. The left side ones just don't deliver as much juice and this phone is a power hungry little guy.
Alright I got it working. I do think it had something to do with the cable. I kept swtiching back and forth between Samsungs and my old Motorola one. After a few reboots and reinstalls of drivers the Motorola one finally worked
I have had that same thing happen, tried an old moment cable and problem solved. After that went on ebay and bought some extras just to have on hand just in case. Also thanks about the usb port explanation, makes sense.

Hopefully you guys can help me out. I'm suddenly having issues with my phone not being detected by my PCs when it is connected via USB.
When i plug my phone into my PC, i receive the error message: "UBS Device not Recognized One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windowes does not recognize it." from my Windows XP PC. My Windows 7 PC is unable to recognize the device plugged in.
The strange thing is that even though my phone is not being recognized by the PCs, the phone will still charge.
The phone is not in USB Debugging Mode, and I've gone ahead and flashed 2 separate Kernals on my phone, but i still am having this issue. I have tested this out with 3 USB cables, on 3 separate computers (Work (win xp), Home (win7), and friends(win7)).
2 Days ago the USB worked fine for me as i was able to flash Franco Kernal and JB onto my Gnex, but suddenly it's not being recognized by my computer anymore.
Stumped.....Hoping that this isn't a hardware issue and something that i can fix without having any downtime away from my phone.
Any thoughts?
Try other USB port and other USB cable.
Sounds like you're missing some drivers... Remove the device completely in Device Manager & plug it again. For MTP, Windows 7 should find the drivers online by itself. If you need fastboot access, you'll have to download the seperate drivers for that. I'd recommend the GNex Toolkit in that case since it comes with the drivers included (you'll still need to install them of course )

Thx for the reply,
Yes, I have been using the GNEX tool kit, though not the 7.3 version that was released today. The 7.2 version was being used at home and on my work PC. I usually install the drivers from the toolkit then plug my phone in when done. The drivers have been recognizing my phone but not since 2 days go.
I'm currently trying to find the MTP checkbox in the phone Settings to double check if it's checked, but im having problems locating it.

Ah yes, that is where it was hiding....But unfortunately the checkbox is checked.
This seems like a hardware issue, but I'm not certain since the phone still recharges when plugged in

Could be... Charging doesn't necessary have anything to do with data transfer AFAIK... Do you see something in the Device Manager when you plug it? You might have to right click & do a re-scan to force detection.

Device Managers shows "Samsung Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface". The drivers look to be installed.
Also another odd thing, is that after i charge my phone and unplug it from my PC, it will continue to show that it is charging on the lock screen and in the top right corner of my phone. However if i go into Settings ---> about phone. It shows Battery Status : Not Charging.

You get that when the phone is running normally? I think for me that one only shows up when I put it in bootloader mode. In MTP mode it's just a media device like any other AFAIK... I'll check tomorrow when I'm back on my Windows laptop to be sure . Have you tried putting it in PTP mode? If so do you see the device as a camera or is it the same issue?

Google galaxy nexus nfc battery. either the battery or the port is shot. People having issues.
And get your drivers from Samsung and Android sdk. Qbking77 has a YouTube video on how to set it up.

Basically the way the Nexus One talked to other systems through USB is completely different from the way the Galaxy Nexus does. The GN uses a new protocol called MTP. Your car stereo probably can't read the files on your phone because it doesn't have MTP support.
Phantom Charging Issue
So I've gone ahead and Fiddled around with my phone for the past day trying to fix my USB issue, and I've discovered that this issue may not be due to USB issues.
Throughout the day when i was playing around and trying to fix my USB recognizing issue, it miraculously started working again. Now I am able to connect to my PCs and transfer the desired files.
Upon this issue being resolved, i noticed that periodically the screen would turn on, on it's own while being off in the locked state. I observed this issue to see what may be causing this, and it is turning on due to my phone thinking that i plugged my micro USB cable in to charge it. The charging indicator on the batter flips on, and even the USB Debugger / MTP Notification is present in the notification drawer.
Apparently this is a known issue with the Battery or charging port with Gnex's. (See below the 2 youtube clips for more details for problem/fix.)

I believe my warranty is void since this phone was purchased in a different country and has had the bootload locked/unlocked a million times. Anyone else have this problem that they have been able to fix manually? Or am I going to have to cross my fingers, ship my phone to get it fixed, and hope the post man doesn't f**k up?

Hi all. Long time lurker, first time poster here.
I have had my Galaxy Nexus for around a year now and have never had any problems - I've flashed countless ROMs and kernels, etc. However, just recently my phone has stopped being recognized by my computer(s). I've searched and searched and read every thread remotely related to the problem and still the problem persists.
At first I thought it was the new Macbook I was using, or OSX, but I've tried everything I can think of in Windows, OSX, and Linux.
When plugged in, I get nothing in OSX - finder won't find it, android file transfer won't find it, adb won't find it. In Windows, I get an unknown device in device manager, and a popup on the toolbar saying the device has malfunctioned. I've tried all three driver installs with Wug's toolkit, switching from MTP to PTP, turning Debugging on and off, flashing new roms and kernels, installing drivers manually, installing drivers through the Android SDK, even different computers - but every time I get "The USB Device has malfunctioned," or nothing at all in OSX's case. I've even tried a laptop running Ubuntu - still a no go. All the while the phone shows it is charging fine, but no indication of being connected to a PC like it used to do.
I've even tried bending the USB port a little as I've read in some guides and cleaning out the port - no luck. I have yet to try a different cable - one is on the way - but my next step is to replace the USB port board myself, unless anyone has ANY ideas.
It charges fine and never has any problems, it's just I cannot get it to be recognized by anything I plug it into.
I don't have an option to enable/disable fast charge in this ROM (currently on CM10) but I have disabled it in one of the ROMs I flashed to and still no luck.
Is there anything I've yet to try, besides using a different cable? Maybe fast charge was enabled in another kernel and it's screwed up some stuff? Although that seems impossible because I've factory reset/wiped everything and flashed different ROMs and kernels and still nothing. I just don't know at this point.
Any input at all would be great, but I understand if there's nothing else I can do besides trying a new cable and then replacing the board. I finally get going in Android development and this brick wall stops me in my tracks.
Thanks guys.
Try to clean the port (by blowing all the dust out of the usb-port)
For now, just use 'Wifi-explorer'. I use it ALOT just to save my USB-port
The two options you came up with yourself sounds most plausible. I've been through a ton of MiniUSB cables that have gone bad out of nowhere (just lying in my briefcase). So test that one first before buying a new USB port.
Well what do you know, it was the USB cable. I cannot fathom how a USB cable just stops working on the data side of things but still charges after just sitting around. I found another cable in a drawer, plugged it in, and voila, everything's working. Glad I don't have to replace anything, though. Woo!
Good thing is though I now know my way around the drivers and the SDK and am pretty sure I could write a guide on everything you could do to fix a USB issue. The more you know!

I had been using AirDroid before and loved it. And even though it was a cable problem, I know know my USB port is squeaky clean, ha.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus. It is had some water damage in the past (making it near impossible to get repaired under warranty) and that has caused it to act funny. Funny = Powering off at random times and rebooting itself/causing the buttons to act silly. Recently it did the thing where it powered off and now it won't come back on. I know the power button still works and it is charging because when I plug it in the charging symbol pops up when I press the power button. However it won't power on. I plug it in to my laptop and it charges but my laptop does not recognize it is plugged in. Is there any sort of program I can download that will allow me to get into my phone or anything I can do? Also I have tried the Power and Volume buttons to try and power it into Bootloader mode but that does not work either. Neither does pulling the battery or putting a different battery in or using a different charger.
Isnt it clear it is dead? Electric stuff+water=death. (Physics 101)

So your galaxy nexus turned into a Nexus 4? Or is there another reason you're in this forum?

Why are you people so mean? I am looking for help, really just a program that would allow me to plug my dead phone into the computer (since it indicates it is charging) and allows me to get files off of it. That would be nice.

Hey man,
I'm not sure if your gnex is salvageable, but if when you plug it into your laptop it indicates charging perhaps you may be able to get to your data. First question...do you have usb debugging enabled in settings? We have to get your laptop to recognize the phone as a drive,then try to grab the files. Tell me more about what happens when you connect it. We aren't all mean, some here just forget how it was when they had nothing but questions and no answers. Most in the forums are very helpful, regardless of experience level.

Thanks for your civil post, I will try my best to inform you more on what my phone is doing.
When I plug it into the laptop it does indicate it is charging but that is the only sign of life I can get out of it. After reading a little bit more on the issue I figure might be the power button that is the issue since it is running JellyBean. One solution that I have tried that has yielded interesting results is plugging the phone into the laptop via USB without the battery in the phone. My computer then makes the "beeping" sound like it is connecting to it and then "beeps" again like it can't connect.
I can't post a link but if you google katzz ifixit then you can go to the website I went to that described the issue and gave the solution I just described. Katzz is the name of the user who posted the solution.
I'm pretty sure I have USB debugging enabled in the settings because before my phone stopped responding I plugged it into the computer a lot to transfer files.
Is there any sort of program that would allow me to turn on my phone from my computer even though I can't seem to get my computer to recognize my phone?
