What kind of puter? You got the right samsung drivers?

I tried on my laptop (Mac) and desktop (windows) and yes they have the right drivers
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Well your mac laptop won't need drivers. If it's plugged in and your phone has the settings box checked for "MTP" then it'll be recognized. Did you download Android File Transfer? You'll need it to transfer files.

Is USB debugging checked? If so, uncheck it and try to install the drivers again. If you can't, shoot me your Gmail and I'll help you through G Talk.

Custom kernel? Make sure USB fast charge is off.

Ok! I tried the new cable that came with the replacement and it works just fine... its weird that the cable I have is not working anymore..

"Made in Korea" means it was manufactured by Samsung directly and not outsourced to some factory in China.
If you're unhappy with the signal drops you can try to get another replacement, or look at the threads here on signal drops for solutions

Yeah! I'm looking for ways to fix it.. but the one I had was made in china and was brilliant no drops nor anything. I curse the day I dropped and cracked the screen.. do you think I can just go to the Verizon store and ask them for a replacement

If you're within the return period, they will replace your device no questions asked. If you're over it, it would depend on the store you go to but more likely than not you have a good chance.
Just make sure you're stock and not rooted

I called yesterday and after a couple of minutes well an hour to be exactly they're going to send me a new device. That's what she said. But since today is 4th of July the phone should be here by tomorrow..

Sounds like a driver issue.
Uninstall them and reinstall them.
Will try, thanked anyway.

It's very likely considering that the port obviously works.
Yeah, I agree. I just have one problem I don't wanna see like a little 10 year old annoying kid. But I just got into the rooting community and such. My phone is unrooted at the moment so do you have any idea where I could get these drivers?

Thanks again.
Edit: Even being hooked up to HTC Sync it won't recognize it's hooked up to a computer. Just charging i've tried multiple computers as well. I plug it up put default on HTC Sync and HTC Sync still says, connect device.. so frustrating.

WiFi file explorer won't fix your problem but will let you transfer files back and forth over WiFi. My Ian port has been messed up for awhile this has been my fix.
Swyped from my Orange Peeled Synergist EVO
I have been experiencing this very issue for almost a month now. Hard, reset, reinstalled drivers, done it all but to no avail. (wife's Evo connects with ease; Win7 sp1)
Been thinking that the usb por is broken - but I can still charge. I can adb and transfer over wi-fi. Only thing wish I could do wirelessly was qpst.
Anyway, I am happy just as long as I can charge the evo. If that changes, then I will get a repair done for $40.
Hope this really isn't the case.
Most likely is a busted usb port, same thing happened to one of the evo's I worked with. Charging fine but will not get discovered by any computers(tried multiple computers with multiple usb cables), but when pushing the cable into the port all my force windows recognized the phone but gave an error for "unknown device", had to actually get another usb port and repair it myself (better than paying $100), drivers definitely not the case here
Thanks everyone! Just gonna go pay 100$ for a new one. I was really wanting to root so if I can't without it being hooked to a computer might as well get a new one.

Why would you pay $100?
If you pay the $8 take it to the Sprint store and they'll look at it.
The $100 is for physical/water damage or lost/stolen phone.
Reboot your phone and go to running services and make sure calendar sync is still running. I don't know why but if you stop that from running it won't connect to your P.C.
I have something running called calendar, but can't find calendar sync? Same thing or?

They probably start with a refurb, and if none are in stock, they'll order you a new one.

From what I know, warranty covers only defected hardwares. Only if the phone has a problem but you didn't caused it.

USB port issues are considered hardware and covered under warranty unless showing clear signs of abuse. If you have lose port and can no longer charge or need to wiggle to make connection, send your phone in for service. Don't forget to flash stock JB and unroot and relock your phone. All can be accomplished within 10 minutes with root toolkit available in the Android development section as a stickie

What if I've had problems with my speaker cutting out mid calls since I got? The phone has been dropped once and has a couple dings but its been doing that since I got it and the drip had nothing to do with it. Will Verizon still give me a replacement without charging me?

Ugh just realized mine has issues with the USB port. I only charges when the USB cord is pushed up ever so slightly. What's the turn around time for warranty repairs?

Well I brought my galaxy nexus from the crapper

Crazy story but my nexus started having this crazy charging issue which spread into a USB issue no matter the computer they would all say could not recognize This device ..I thought my phone was through because it was the international version therefore I'd have to get in contact with another country to get this resolved *sidenote I tried mobile Odin and made my phone sort of unusable for a while * ..after much debate I figured I could fix this myself ..scouring the internet seeing tons of people with the same problem I decided to repair this because it was not software and it was not gunk inside the port ..so I ordered the part and saw how relatively easy it was to repair it was ridiculously simple and here I was going to pay someone to fix it lol...thanks google and Samsung for simplicity..that being said ill fix other peoples problem if anyone has it hit me up anytime

[Q] Bricked S3 with Red LED and seen by computer?

I just bricked my S3 and whenever I plug it in, eventually, some combination of button presses makes a red LED show up, however, no screen on. Whats even weirder is that when I plug it in, it see's some thing called QHSUSB_DLOAD, and attempts to install drivers for it. I'm wondering if this might allow me to fix it? If all else fails, can someone refer me to a JTAG repair service...
Edit - When I attempt DL mode, I can even hear it disconnect, then reconnect. It fails the driver install though.
Unfortunately bud your hard bricked.

I was making a port from the S2. I changed the updater script to let it flash, it did, and then it killed me.
Update: WOW. T-Mobile replaced it for me! I don't even have warranty left! Yet again, my company saves me.

All I did was brought it into the store, handed it to the guy and said it was broken. Said I had a FACTORY warranty (from Samsung), and that Samsung told me to have the store do the replacement for me. The guy behind the desk said, "Yeah, whatever you stick your SIM into, as long as it's T-
Mobile, your covered. You can even buy phones offline,". It's going to be here monday. Shipped Friday, next day shipping, only 5$. I'm so happy I'm not paying 70$ for a JTAG... Not sure if this'll work for everyone, but it did for me!

[Q] Galaxy Nexus not charging

My phone isn't charging at all.
In an attempt to charge, I turned it off and plugged in the charger. The charging animation did come up bit it would keep on coming up (like it's in a loop) and my phone still won't actually charge.
PC wasn't recognizing the phone either. Was saying that the USB device is not recognized.
I tried pushing up the metal inside the USB slot too. Not working. Maybe I haven't done that correctly.
What exactly could be the issue? The fact that the screen shows the charging animation when phone is off makes me feel that the USB slot may not really be faulty. But even though the animation comes, it vanishes before it should be complete (ie it vanishes before the battery icon is filled with white) and starts the animation from the beginning.
For ****s, flash the stock image, but it really sounds like faulty.... Something, try other USB bricks and cables.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Tried different cables. It's the same.
I can't flash the factory image either but my battery is completely dead now and I need to charge it to boot the phone up. And to be honest, I don't think flashing stock will really help.
had this issue as well, ended up just getting a replacement. Figured it was hardware issue. couldn't ever get it fixed
Wow!! Suddenly everything is working. Just kept the phone idle in the drawer with the battery taken out for around 30 minutes. Connected the charger and it's working fine.
Even though is temporarily fixed. Its a USB port problem. Mine has the same. I just use an external charger.

The actual problem is the mid board. I had that same problem. what you need to do is get the mid board replace inside of the phone.

Had the same issue some days back... Some days it charged and some days it won't charge at all.. While it's off it says its charging but it actually isn't .. Did some reading n found out that the USB flex port was gone.. Replaced it and everything fine now...

How much does a USB flex port cost? I'll need it in case the problem occurs again.

Yep, I am facing the same and this issue seems to be going around even for Nexus 4. The problem lies around 4.3 update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44572078#post44572078
Try these steps but none of them help. The only way to charge your phone at the moment is to switch it off, wait a few seconds, connect charger and see that charging animation starts. Now you can switch on the phone and the phone almost everytime continues charging.
I have no idea what causes this and I hope someone can pin the fault somewhere...but no cigar so far.

I think the contrary. It is software issue. Nexus 4 users are worst effected by it. And no one seems to have a clue. Its just known that it is restricted to 4.3 only.

There are half a dozen more and most of the people have given up.
I downgraded to 4.2.2 and still, the phone doesn't charge. Its a pain in the arse.
I guess I should just go back to 4.3 and wait for a fix since downgrading didn't fix the issue, this is a bummer to say the least
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
This may be a dumb question but would this have anything to do with not having the 4.3 boot loader??? I didn't install it, my understanding was it wasn't necessary on the Verizon gnex

OK update I flashed back to 4.3 and went into storage and unchecked "connect as media deviceā€ and so far it is charging OK from all sources, only problem I still have is the the charging indicator still flashes on and of when unplugged

OK here is an update, I have cleaned out my port with a small screwdriver from an eyeglass repair kit, used some compressed air and a little bit of electrical contact cleaner and gently raised up the charging port a bit ( to where it was originally, mine was bent down a bit ) and bam! So far its working again like a charm
