[Q] USB Debugging keeps turning off - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Anyone else experiencing this? You would have USB Debugging enabled, and then later at some point you connect the USB cable and the notification for the connection doesn't appear, it just charges. Then I'd have to unplug, then re-enable USB debugging, and go on with my business. Sometimes I'll have just turned it on, and right away when I plug it in it's been turned off again. Is this an EB01 and/or Superclean 2.4 thing or is it just me? Thanks.

USB Debugging has been acting funky for me as well on EB01 (but never had an issue with it on DJ05 or DI01). Just in case, make sure you're not using a third-party USB charger for your phone, that can damage your usb port/phone (although that doesn't seem like the situation... just better safe than sorry).

Using the original cable..
And yeah I didn't have this issue prior to EB01. Even if I rebooted in prior versions USB Debugging would stay on. Now, it'll disable randomly in several scenarios, the simplest being setting it on and then leaving the menu, then it would magically get disabled.

I have a similar problem where plugging in the usb cable launches the desktop app instead after several plug/unplug cycles. I didn't notice it until after installing the accurate battery mod. Running the pre-rooted stock EB01 from odin pkg.

I have the exact same issue.

I noticed today that debugging mode started working again after plugging in my car charger.

In my case it was the cable. The original cable works fine, but the generic cable only works for debug mode intermittently.

this happened to me once a couple weeks ago, but hasn't happened since.

I'm willing to bet that everyone who has posted on this thread that is having this debugging issue are using Mac computers. Would love your feedback on this thought.

Happening to me also. Windows 7

Ok, shot in the dark. I know another guy who has the same problem and he uses a MacBook pro. I also have a MacBook pro and have the same issue. But, as of today, I'm beginning to think it is an EB01/DL30 issue because it didn't happen until I first started flashing froyo (DL30) and right now I'm running JT's Vanilla Froyo, which is by far my most favorite Rom yet, and I am not having that issue anymore. I flashed VF and it stopped. FWIW I hope this helps.

Biggest culprit is usually the cable. I held out for a long time replacing the cable because it worked sometimes. But sure enough, after replacing, it works all the time. My previous cable was too long and the wires were too thin to reliably transmit stable data, causing intermittent problems. So, even if it works for charging or for other devices, it doesn't mean that it's always working properly.
Other possibilities:
Your computer. Like others noted with the Mac issues, or maybe a bad USB plug (try a different one), or something else jacking with your USB bus.
Your phone. Is your USB port all worn out and used up?
Your software set up. The USB modes of this phone can be pretty buggy (I have a discussion thread about it in the dev forum). If you are having problems with this and any other weird issues, look into a full Odin back to stock, and then return to SuperClean.

I am having this same problem...it must be something to do with EB01, im on a MBP and it was working fine until i flashed it even on my mac. also using the stock cable but for some reason even if the cable is unplugged usb debugging will randomly turn off.... can anyone confirm that this is a glitch in eb01 or am i just crazy?.....which is possible, lol

I'm pretty sure that this problem is exclusive to DL30/EB01 as I posted before. I had the same problem with superclean/blackhole/darkrevenge/stock froyo release etc. But, this problem did not occur until I flashed these leaked froyo Tom's and has now stopped since I flashed Jt's Vanilla Froyo.

Started happening when I started connecting my Fascinate (stock Android 2.2.2 ED05) to my newly acquired Mac. Never happened when connecting to the half dozen or so Windows XP and 7 systems I have. All using the same USB cable. Anybody have any ideas if this may be something Mac related?
Thanks!

[Q] connect to pc? koasfroyo v35-1

hi all,
im using koasfroyo 2.2 v35-1. all of a sudden cant mount when i plug into computer, been researching like crazy and found something i want to try but cant find the setting on my phone. "go to Settings>>Connect to PC and verify Default connection type " dont have connect to pc under my settings menu anywhere!
anyone know where the default connection type is located in this rom?
thanks
Does the icon show in the notification bar that the usb is connected? If so, what I would try is using a widget to connect the usb and see if that works. Your Power Control Widget will have this settings and you should have this as it is a part of the Settings app. Just long press on your home screen and open the widget from there. If that doesn't work, then there might be a bigger issue we need to track down.
nothing is in the notification bar, went to a friends house today and plugged it in his computer with his cable and my cable and still nothing, just charges the phone. i wonder if last time it worked (2 days ago) i didnt unmount before i pulled out usb cord, i normally unmount before i unplug. could that cause a problem, the one thing i havent done yet is format my sd card. tried 6 different computers since it happened, same result on all.
Hmm. I actually had the same thing happen to me and I was freaking out. I used another USB cord and it worked fine. I'm not sure what happened to it, whether it got pinched, cut it with something accidently, or rolled over it with my desk chair, but yea, that was it. I would REALLY be surprised it if had anything to deal with the unmounting it just by unplugging it. I've done that more times than I could even remember. Multiple times a day for months and have never had any issues, or have heard of others. So, try the cord thing next. It's always best to eliminate problems by going through the easy and obvious things first.
Have you ever use wired tethering or just have the app? This has been known to cause the computer recognition not to work. If you have recently use wired tethering try rebooting. If you just have the app installed remove it and try to connect.
Yeah, try using another USB cord. The one that came with my phone stopped working at some point (I would physically connect it and nothing would happen.) I tried a few other cords until I found one that works. Good Luck!
Ok will try another cord tomorrow. Actually I tethered for the first time ever on Saturday night, just seeing how it worked with ubuntu. I used easy tether lite. That was the last time phone worked plugged in. Tether worked great, unplugged and moved my computer into the garage, since then hasn't mounted. But before I started this post I wiped dev & data and reinstalled v 35-1 but didn't clean my SD card.

Since you have rebooted, and haven't mentioned wired tether app for root I don't think what i proposed is the problem. I have also had the same result from different usb cables as said above so hopefully that will remedy your situation.

I think your phone usb connection might be to blame not the cable. Try moving the usb end while its plugged into the phone (up, down, left, right) to see if it clears the issue.
I has the same problem a few times after tethering but if you reboot phone and computer this should work of its not a wire problem. Also what apps do you have running on the computer when trying to mount... IE... earlier tendering programs or HTC sync

[Q] Issue connecting Fascinate to Computer

I have a samsung fascinate that will not connect to my computer no matter what I do. I have installed the drivers from samsung, I have connected through mass storage with usb debugging on, I have connected as mass storage without debugging on. I just cannot figure out why my computer will not recognize the phone. It just says that it is charging, and I am getting quite fed up with it. I want to connect it in order to root it, but if it will not read that the phone is attached, what am I to do? HELP ME!
Thanks!
Are you on Windows 7? Lately my pc has been doing the same thing. Except I can't get ANY usb devices to work. But here is my suggestion, shut down your pc, then unplug the power cord from the back and let it sit for a while. Then boot it up and see if that helps.

Also make sure you are using the stock cable. I've had problems with using an aftermarket cable before.
The issue was not using the stock cable... WHO KNEW?!
I had the same issues with the stock cable, on a whim I tried the cable to my kindle and it worked perfectly.

also just an idea, but check device manager to see if there is any errors with it, also admin privileges (not sure if needed)

eh sorry didnt see problem was solved

USB port broken

Hi, this will be my first post here and I'll appreciate if you can point me in any direction which can solve my problem.
I've a rooted SGS2 i9100.
The problems began with the device switching from charging to normal, even when it was not connected to the usb port. Reading other's people problems, I've fixed that cleaning the usb port and gently jiggling the connector.
The problem came back a few times and get fixed in the same way as before. Suddently, the phone stopped detecting the usb charger and usb connection to my mac also stopped working, although the phone did charge the battery while connected. It justs didn't make the connected sound anymore and the battery icon didn't reflect any change.
I tried a couple of fixes that I found in the web and none of them worked. I've changed roms and kernels without luck. I also tried using some keypad secret codes to come up with a hidden menu to check how the USB was setup.
I ended up ordering a new USB flex cable to replace the old one hoping this will fix my problem, but after I changed the flex cable the problem persisted.
I'm currently using RR 2.6.1 (ICS 4.0.4). I've noticed that if I upgrade to RR 3.0.4 with Jelly Bean and not only the problem persists, but the battery stopped charging (I tested with the 3 different kernels) so I've to go back to RR 2.6.1
I can't do anything with Odin, as the USB is not detected, so the only way to change anything is through CWM.
Does anyone have a suggestion? (I forgot to mention that the phone is under an ex-friends name, so I can't send it back to my phone company for replacement)
For starters you can use mobile odin pro to flash stuff.I would flash back to stock and see if anything clears up.

I have also had similar problem on my SGS2.
It maybe your PC you are trying to connect to is malfunctioning or not seeing your device.
What i did was i connected my other phone which is BlackBerry Bold 9900 to my PC via USB and then i removed it & connect my SGS2 & it got connected.

Thanks for the tip. I read about mobile odin, and it looks that it'll do the same as CWM, or am I missing something?
Sorry I didn't reply before, I had an old email setup with my xda account
There are several things you can do.......
If you trust your friend-then let him send the phone back pretending hes still the owner(it says warranty is 2 years).
Youll need to remove all traces of tinkering....lol.
Or change the usb board for $10.

USB Connection not working

I been trying to connect my phone to my computer now for about an hour. My phone recognizes that it's charging, but won't come up as MTP device. I have tried reinstalling drivers turning the phone off and on again, no dice. Here is the strangest part. I have 3 cables and I tested them all. One of them connects it to the computer as MTP the others just as charging. Has anyone else had this problem with their GN2?
I'm having the same issue, forum digging has proven fruitless thus far :/
Try a usb hub. It worked for me...

DNA now won't connect to PC

So I was just going to change ROMs, and I realized that my DNA won't connect to a PC over USB anymore. I always plug it in at work via USB to a laptop to charge, and it would normally open the autostart/autorun window, which I would always notice because I'll switch computers often. Last week the autostart dialog stopped opening, but I was distracted with work being busy and it just went to the back of my mind.
Until now.
I've checked all the normal trivial stuff... trying different cables, using different USB ports, and obviously different PCs. It also won't be detected by ADB. Yes, developer options are enabled, yes USB debugging is enabled. It sounds to me like its the port on the phone, so then I'm screwed, but I was just wondering if anyone knows any tricks I can try.
Are you running a custom rom? Go to settings>storage>storage settings>USB computer connection and make sure the connect as Media device (MTP) is checked. Same thing happened to me and some how this setting was unchecked

You going to laugh at me but download PDAnet and it will redownload the correct drivers.

Have you found a solution for this? I am in the exact same situation with no solutions working for me. I tried PDAnet and many other things. The device is unrecognized by my computer completely not even showing up in the device manager. This likely is a hardware issue, but I'm rooted with no way to return to stock because I can't connect to my computer which makes me unable to use my warranty for repair. This is a really unfortunate pickle as I'm not sure if I can even do anything at this point. I have found online that people with a hardware issue with connecting to their computers also had the slow charge notification when charging either through the computer or the power adapter. Mine does not display slow charge which gives me some hope that it is somehow a driver issue. Do you get the slow charge notification at all?
EDIT: It's a hardware issue for me. Noticed my charger is sticking slightly more out than usual, and it just can't get the right connection

Hey guys, just figured I'd follow up. Sorry for the delay, XDA email notifications somehow ended up in my spam folder.
Anyway, for me it just turned out to be that all the cables I tried were bad. Pretty low odds, I'm actually surprised both my cable at home and the one at work were all bad. Sure enough I tried it with a coworker's cable and it worked fine.
