[Q] "USB connected" or "USB Debugging connected" error over and over...

I recently posted a thread mentioning how I believed that flashing MTD Roms had messed up my phone. Well, I now realize that the text msg error was simply that I didn't check "Split messages by 160 characters", so that doesn't matter anymore.

But... I'm still getting "USB connected" over and over, sometimes even causing the screen to flash oddly, making it impossible to do anything on it. Depending on whether USB debugging it checked or not, it will also say "USB Debugging connected" over and over...

I brought it to Sprint, paid the bull**** $35 "analyzing fee", had the toolbag tech dude there wipe it back to EC05 factory, exactly as I had done before bringing it in there, and for some reason when he did it with his "Slate" program it worked, for a while. Eventually it always comes back though, starting off just appearing randomly and not being such a nuisance and eventually coalescing into pure concentrated annoyance.

I've now brought it back to Sprint a second time, because they guarantee their work for 30 days so I brought it back and he wiped it, said that he didn't have the settings right on his "Slate" program that they use, and said it was for sure fixed this time.

Well, I didn't really see the error msg for a while, but then I saw little short ones here and there, and then after I flashed CM7, it seemed fine again, for a while. Pretty much all day today it has been steadily showing the "USB connected - Select to copy files to and from SD" as if a USB cable is constantly connected, as opposed to the intermittent notice over and over.

Someone help! Please!

Its physical damage. Happened on my old epic after I accidentally dipped my charger in water and plugged my phone in. I never took it to sprint but it never went away by itself.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theMallacht:
So my phone is just pretty much done now? I don't even think I've had it for a year...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Sprint should fix hardware issues for 30$. No bull**** analizing... actual fixing.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theMallacht:
Well what do I tell this schmuck to get him to believe me? He just keeps telling me that I'm causing "third party software errors". But the first time I got it back I had to bring it back again because I couldn't even connect it to USB, it wouldn't even recognize that my phone was plugged in, so I couldn't have flashed anything or ODINed anything because it was impossible.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
If you have another store near you go there... sounds like a classic case of a sprint employee being lazy and not wanting to try and figure it out... did you try cleaning the usb port with a qtip or an air blower (or whatever its called)... I had this problem about a month after I got the phone and cleaning the port fixed it for me...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LORDFIRE00:
take a blow dryer and lightly blow dry the port for about 3mins, then take a "clean" toothbrush, and light brush the port, then blowdry again for about 30secs, then see what happens.

tell that idiot sprint tech that if it was a 3rd party app, that you would be getting an android.system.debug message.

---------- Post added at 05:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 AM ----------

and you would have constant force closes.

I was having this issue for a while to last week but I am not getting it anymore. However if I plugged my phone into the charger the issue would go away. Usually a battery pull would fix the issue as well.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but physical damage to the charging port, or either liquid damage (which is my opinion) is gonna be a $100 bill to Asurion to get a new device. And Sprint does not have a $30 repair. It's $35..

*/Edit - Sounds like you are going to an exchange only service center, because he hasn't taken it apart? Because that should have been his first line of business.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theMallacht:
Ok, well I'm really not sure what to do at this point... The manager won't call me back, the tek dude seems to think that it's because of the "third party software" I'm using, and they really don't seem particularly helpful at this store at all.

I called tonight and asked to speak to the manager and the girl actually said "Well, um, like, what is this about?" - like she was personally in trouble or something. Then she tells me he stepped out for his lunch break. This was about 2 hours ago. Either these Sprint employees get a much longer lunch break than they rightfully deserve, or these idiots are blowing me off.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Just odin back to stock and don't install any apps and if its still happening then bring it in.... they can't say its because of any 3rd party softward then...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azyouthinkeyeiz:
This is my thought too. Just bring it in empty showing that it's still doing as such. If you still cannot get any resolve, go to another store, and ask for the SAR of the region's contact info. Make sure to say that it isn't because of anything they had done, but the store you are having an issue with will not provide it. Contact him and also send an email to dan@sprint.com and tell them your issue, the store's location, and that they are refusing to solve your problem. They can't ignore either of those two channels.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Well, Mr. Cory Swan, if you are reading, you are an idiot, and his name is "Hesse". If you cannot even get the "CEO" of the company you work for's name correct, it doesn't lend credence to anything you have to say.

And, oh yea, OP, you are also an idiot, for being the type of person who thinks you can yell and scream and cuss at people to get your way. You pretty much deserve this recourse.

Have a nice day! :-)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theMallacht:
I didn't even yell dude, I said it in a "hey man, lighten up" kind of a tone. I really didn't mean for him to get super angry about it, I was just trying to level with the guy and let him know he wasn't dealing with a complete idiot, because that's the way he was treating me.

Also, I think the "Hessey" he is referring to is the last name of the tech that I had problems with.

Thank u very much

Great work.

when i press home button(long press) the device freeze and restart(short restart)

some of my apps i cant install them (like ezpdf reader) only on this rom.

A douche? I put a smiley face. If you would like to look at the logcat and fix the problem then be my guest.

And no. This is a Chinese rom by joyui.

they ported the DianXin OS several days ago... if that's what you're referring to... but it has nothing to do with this.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jurellz:
have you tried something with sense ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajrty33:
I haven't really looked for a sense rom that seems to have something unique. If you come across one, link me to it and ill port it... you have definitely found some awesome roms from the depths of the internets
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmocherman:
I know you're focusing on Lewa and Ligux more than Joy, but thought I would still report errors/issues just for development sake.

The only error I've been getting is when my corporate email tries to activate a security protocol. So, at this point I can't get exchange up and running. I'm going to try a cache/delvik wipe and reboot. I'll let you know how it goes.

The other issue I'm running into is the calendar not showing my google calendar appointments. When I click on a date it shows up empty even though the calendar is set to sync in the account settings.

Having fun with this one. Thanks for all the work!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajrty33:
Those would both probably be fixed by replacing the email and calendar apks. I can't remember if they're both themed or not. Ill look into a themed fix

Quick question/observation: earlier today I tried to install flash 10.2 on this rom to no avail. I installed a different non market apks just fine and I've even installed the very same flash apk with no problems on other roms. Any ideas on what to do or what the problem is? Should I try to reflash everything?

I can not select which calendars to sync and when I touch a date the events for that do not show.

Anyone else experiencing this.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
How do you add new home screens? When I install apps it is automatically added and when a screen fills up a new one is created but I can't seem to add a screen on my own.

Also how do you add more screens for Widgets. The first screen seems reserved for Widgets but I haven't been able to add more screens when that one fills up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goliath714:
This is basically an iPhone spoof, and a good one at that. It has ios interface but android base. You cant add more screens because of this, and as for the calendar app its just a themed calendar that hasn't been fixed yet. If you look at the other pages (there's only two...) you can see why. It's not google calendar so you'll just have to download one from the market that syncs with google calendar.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajrty33:
I hate that I haven't looked around yet (I forgot) but if anyone gets bored and comes across (or searches for) a themed calendar post it up and ill add it in!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
I agree this is a really good iPhone spoof. I can't wait to show it off to my iPhone friends LOL I have taken to calling my phone an iDroid now LOL

Unfortunately the inability to control the order of apps when added, inability to have screens with both Widgets and apps, inability to manually add screens especially for Widgets makes this a no go for me. I am going to keep testing for stability and if encounter no problems will put on my sister's phone.

I do like the predictive keyboard; it works really well. Also the notification being displayed on lock scree is cool.

It would be nice if I could take a photo using the volume, power, etc buttons. It would also be cool if the battery % was displayed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmocherman:
I think I may have found the first system issue. I have had several missed texts and unsent texts. It seems a reboot got the messaging working again.

This is the first issue with connectivity I've had with this ROM.

Most everything else seems to be working as supposed.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ebaum1:
I took it to the kitchen and pulled the Calendar apk from one and dropped it into this one...calendar fixed! It isnt "themed", but it syncs with google.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmocherman:
Finally had to flash back to a different ROM, I hated too because I was loving the interface, but I kept missing texts and my texts only sent half the time.

Am I the only one with this issue?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Majin101:
i think its a sprint issue, i've been getting double texts and message not sent im runnin jaybobs latest 2.3 rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Ebaum1:
Im on sprint, bouncing between Jaybobs latest and JoyOS and have had no issues with texts....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
I have only been running this for two days and it doesn't appear as though I am having texting issues. Though my sisters have complained of this and I too always wonder if my txt (especially the international ones) were received. I think this maybe an issue with sprint. I wish all carries would move away from from SMS/MMS and to a common messaging system with the same features as whatanapp (received confirmation, viewed confirmation, location tagged messages, etc)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
I am having an issue where folders that I have created by dragging apps on top of each other will disappear. Sometimes the folder and all apps are gone, sometimes the folder is gone and all the apps are on home screen, some times the folder is gone and only some of the apps are on the home screen, sometimes the folder is there but some of the apps in it are missing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmocherman:
Ok, here's where I'm at on the text messaging issues.

First, I haven't been able to pinpoint that the issue as being with this rom, but here's my thought process.

I have never had texting issues on any other rom. I ran this one since its release with no issue (or at least I think) until just a day ago when my sent texts stopped going through. At least 2 out of every 5 would say they sent, but then never make it to the recipient.

I restored to a backup of TeamheroC and the problem was still there. RUUed to stock unrooted and the problem prosisted. So, it must be the network...right?...I'm not so sure!

I took the phone to Sprint and they "fixed" it. They said there was something on their network end. Which makes sense,....but....

I got it home and used it with no issue. Then decided to root it again and I restored my back up of JoyOS. Guess what....the texting issue started again. I then restored back to TeamheroC and the issue was STILL there.

Finally I RUUed to unrooted stock. I was still missing sent texts. And I figured I would have to take it back to the Sprint store. However, after about an hour the phone updated over air to the newest software and the texting issue seems to be resolved.

So, to check my theory I've rooted, backed up the stock rom and I am restoring my teamheroC backup. I'll try texting with it tonight and tomorrow and see if it stays fixed. The trick will be to see if my texting keeps working after I flash JoyOS again tomorrow.

So, all that to say, I have no idea what's going on, but I'm working on at least ruling out other explainations.

Sorry for the long winded explanation, just trying to be thorough
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
I am curious to know if you are also having issues receiving txts or is it just sending them?

Any chance you know if the txts aren't being sent or aren't being received (this is subtle but two potential different issues)?

How are you confirming the messages aren't being received?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmocherman:
I am having no issues with receiving texts.

A far as confirming they aren't being recurved is that my phone says they sent but the phones (multiple phones and carriers) never receive them.

I know they are being sent because they will be delivered in mass a day or so later, even if my phone is off.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsMA:
Anyone have a solution to my disappearing folder issue? A folder of mine disappeared yesterday taking away all the shortcuts to those (10-15) apps. The apps are still installed on the phone. The only way I can currently access them is to use the Google search app to type in its name.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] goliath714:

Dude. As I've said before, it's flash 10.2 made for armv6. IT DOES NOT INSTALL ON THIS ROM, BUT IT INSTALLS ON EVERY OTHER ROM I'VE RUN. AND IT WORKS ON ALMOST ALL OF THEM. Here's the thread for it, if for some reason you don't believe me.

Thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1303168

All I'm asking is why it doesn't even install on this rom. It installs on any other rom I've tried, and works on most of them, this rom is the only one that it doesn't even install on.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ajrty33:
I know exactly what you're talking about. Add ro.flash.hack=1 to your build.prop and see if that helps.
