Hi!
So basically I can charge the tablet with no issue but when I connect it to my pc (or the one at work) it suddenly is no longer being detected (no USB plug in sound).
At home I was able to make it work but it would seem that moving the cable a bit will make it go off so somehow the cable must be bad I think even though physically outside it looks great.
Could that be it?

its very plausible that you could have a bad usb wire. if you wiggle it and get a connection very likely turns to 100% sure. There are different wires for charging and data within the cable. no connection when you plug it via dock either? (just want to rule out on board connector)
I will have to test on the dock but when it connected yesterday, I tried moving the plug around the table area to see if it was there and it never disconnected yet moving from the USB side connected to the PC made it disconnect so it makes it sound like a bad cable for sure...and hopefully

when using the data cable, is the connection a little bit wiggly?
in other words, while the cable is connected to the phone, can you wiggle the cable at all?
just want to check and make sure this is normal
I had a case on the phone that didnt fit too well, with the usb plugged in. I just noticed that it was pushing the usb down a lil while charging.
Just wanted to make sure, is anyone elses cable just a lil bit loose or wiggly?
For some reason my touchpad no longer will go into USB Mode when I plug in the cable so I can not put the new alpha version onto my TP. Strange thing is the cable (which I just bought) charges it via USB, so I know it's not a connection problem. This symptom is the same for CM and WebOS, except in WeOS it gives the "may not charge" message.
Any way to manual mount the touchpad to transfer files onto it?
On a side note I did a little research and read on WebOS Nation Forums of a few people having this problem in landscape mode, but worked find in portrait mode, but mine sees no difference.
Like many people, you are having a USB power issue. Some cables just will NOT work for your Touchpad. I have only found one cable, other than the original that came with it, that has worked.
Also, if your USB port isn't putting out enough juice, or you have it plugged into a hub instead of an actual singular port, you'll run into problems.
PLus, sometimes a reboot of the computer can clear some of that up.

Thanks for the quick response. Appreciate the tutorials as well. I've heard of the power issues you've talked of but in the brief reading I did all those issues would not charge, or at least not show on the touchpad that it was charging. My Touchpad shows that it is charging, at least in CM it does....

I have one cable that will charge the Touchpad, but will not allow it to connect. It really sucks how much juice these things pull when they are talking to your computer via USB. Hell, I have to unplug my webcam before connecting my Touchpad to my laptop. Do you know how frustrating it is to be making a video, and then realizing that you have to stop recording to plug in your device? I scream about it every time. I also had to eliminate my USB hub. I always use the provided USB cable for anything Touchpad related. I have a car charger that barely trickles 2% over a period of an hour. I did notice that different computers give different results as well. My work computer (which is waaaayyyy better than my home one) handles the Touchpad like a champ. My Home Theater PC does pretty good with it after a reboot, but my laptop struggles EVERY time.

very strange. go figure...my original cable from the get go never made a solid connection i'd have to place the cable in a certain way to get it to stick, now that cable doesn't work at all. I found one around the house, worked totally fine on all aspects, lost it, bout a new one and it only charges. ugh...
tbtransfer w/ tbaccess works pretty good

The Tablet uses a microUSB 2.0 connection, all the specifications are listed here:
https://www.gsmarena.com/hp_touchpad-3839.php
Any microUSB 2.0 cable that provides data and charging will work, some from amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Rankie-Micro-Charging-Braided-3-Pack/dp/B01JPDTZXK/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=micro+usb+2.0+data+cable&qid=1603461974&s=electronics&sr=1-3
It can easily be tested with any cable from an Android device that has a microUSB 2.0 connection.
Yesterday I plugged my phone into my PC and went to set it to mount as mass storage but the USB connected notification wasn't there. The phone charged fine off the USB, just didn't see the PC.
I thought this may be a PC issue until going to use it on my HD Multimedia dock, phone wouldn't recognize the dock was attached. Then went and tried it in the car dock, same thing, phone charged but didn't go into cardock mode.
Also not sure if this is related but since then battery has been discharging quite quickly.
Please help.

Bruce.
Hi, did you use the original cable ?
I noticed that the cable from my galaxy S II didn't work with the razr droid !

This will probably solve ur problem:
Uninstall all motorola from PC
Reinstall motocast 1.29
Connect ur razr in every mode, and wait it reinstall the drivers.
Cheers
Thanks, but it's the phone that's not recognizing the usb cable is plugged in. I've tried it on three PCs and the darn thing will only charge, not give usb connection options.
Get a small paintbrush and a can of Dust-Off or other compressed-gas sprayer.
Hold the phone between your knees with the USB port up. Swirl the brush around inside the USB jack while blowing air into it at the same time.
Try it now.
Micro USB jacks have a very nasty habit of collecting pocket lint. It can prevent the cables/plugs on any device from making a solid electrical contact.
This will likely become a routine operation that you perform once a week or so.
You can buy micro-USB rubber plugs that protect a female jack from damage and dirt. You should try the usual places to find one; Amazon, DigiKey, Fry's, JameCo, etc.
If this doesn't get it, you may be looking at either replacing the jack (if you can un/solder very small things), or replacing the phone itself.
PS: If you have geeky friends who like pranks, get a high-powered magnifying glass and check for Scotch Tape on the USB jack contacts. I've done this to an obnoxious iPhone FanBoyz phone before. I confessed before his battery was completely dead...

Did anyone ever find a solution to this? I'm having the exact same issue, have tried clearing out the USB port, different cables and every port on my PC. It charges on connection but doesn't recognise that it is connected to a computer rather than a power port.
Any advice?

Are you on stock or custom rom ?

Stock. I'm thinking of doing a factory reset as it has been freezing a lot recently and I suspect its a software issue, but I was hoping to do a proper backup first, however I lost root a while ago when I updated to ICS . I don't know if the freezing and not recognising computer could be two sides of the same issue?
Right, got a bit of a funny one here;
My girlfriend has 'adopted' my Atrix now I've moved on to the One X, but recently it's developed a rather frustrating issue in that the USB port appears to be broken. For charging, and data, even in recovery. I took it to bits to make sure there wasn't anything shorting out or dry solder joints (not that you can actually tell with the way the Atrixs Micro-USB port is designed) and it seems fine - in fact, I checked for continuity from the end of a USB cable connected to it to the pins at the back of the connector (I could reach) and all seemed okay so it's not the actual pins in the port either.
The phone always powers on when off when a USB cable is connected, but I assumed it might still be able to do this so long as +5v and GND were still connected (but then it should charge even if data doesn't work)
I'd probably never have gone to the effort of taking it apart if I'd realised that if I dump it in RSD or Fastboot mode it shows up on the computer fine.
What could be causing this? It really doesn't make any sense at all to me.
Edit: And of course, it's now sat, charging without using an external battery charger fine for the first time in days. I can't get it to do it at all now. Damn thing!
I have this exact same problem, when turned off, my phone recognizes the usb cable and starts up like normal, but when on, if I want it to connect to an ac port or computer, I have to wiggle and shake the usb connection until it charges and it can take anywhere from 20 seconds to 20 minutes. I swear I was about to throw my phone at a wall
On my TF201, about an hour ago, my USB connection to it just dropped. No loose connections, brand-new cable. I had thought it was just a bug in my USB drivers, so I quickly unplugged/replugged the device. No connection. I rebooted both devices at least 2 times, and still no luck. I figured that I might be able to determine what's wrong by connecting the cord to the wall plug. It charged just fine. after that, I assumed that it was the computer's USB port, so I plugged my phone into the same port. Was able to get adb connected to my phone, no issues. My question is, How could I determine what the issue is, without RMA'ing it or resetting it?
(Also wondering if me connecting a flash drive to the keyboard dock with it showing up for a split second then going away is any indication of anything, I'm just going to assume the worst and say the USB is shot)
I have the same problem bro. I don't know what to do I am be very pissed. I read somewhere on xda a guy had a problem with his epic and took a qtip with alcohol and cleaned the contacts and it worked. I will try this tomorrow and get back to you. I have tried other pc but nothing works and I hate not having root and I add-on considering selling my prime just because of this
Kinda have it working, in the sense that the USB cable, when connected, will make the device show up in Device Manager as an "Unknown Device", but much past that, I'm not sure. I don't have the device near me right now, I will on Monday, but once I can, I will try the alcohol trick, it worked for my phone, and the keyboard dock. (BTW, I did blow into the USB port, and now the devices attached show up for 45 minutes - 1 hour before they disappear, and also, when connecting an SD card into the dock, it shows up, but on the case that the micro SD is not connected in the device (Dunno if it does this normally or what)
