same issue here

I'm having the same issue here. Charging works fine with 2 computers and multiple USB cables (as well as AC and car charger adapters), but data transfer has completely stopped working. My computer won't see my phone at all. I have the correct drivers (given that I used them to connect to my computer when I first rooted and unlocked the bootloader). Tried changing the drivers, but I can't get my phone to show up in Device Manager at all. MTP and USB Debugging are enabled.

The only thing I can think of is that I dropped my phone while it was connected, and now the USB cable only charges the phone if I bend it in a certain way (it usually requires upward pressure where the cable plugs into the phone to work). However, other USB charging cables work just fine without any pressure. Is there any chance that a new OEM Samsung USB cable might solve my problem? The other cables I've used weren't OEM.

I normally use a wi-fi data transfer app because the USB data transfer has been slow since day one, so that can be worked around. What IS a major problem for me is that I'm trying to re-root my phone after my root access was lost with the 4.0.4 OTA update. I didn't keep up with the news and only realized last week that my root access had been lost because I tried to do things that required root. Since the OTA update trashed my CWM recovery image, I seem to have no way to re-root and reinstall CWM aside from going back to my computer and doing what I did the first time. But if I can't connect to my computer, I can't do that. It also seems that I would need computer access to remove root in case I bring it back to Verizon for a replacement under warranty.

So on another note, if you guys know of a way to re-root my phone without connecting it to my PC, I'm all ears...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unknownzero:
I have run into a lot of USB defects on the phones I have received. It might be wise to get Samsung to repair it, but you will be without a phone for a week. You could also try another cable.

I used to have similar issues except where the power got routed into the data port, frying my phone in multiple areas.

On Samsung's repair ticket they said REPLACED COMPONENT (I'm assuming this is the usb controller and port) this could be the solution but it requires sending it in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrbmed08:
Definitely will try another cable (I asked a friend who has the same phone to bring it to me so I can check it out without waiting for shipping). Hopefully it's as simple as that, since that's the only cable I have any issues charging with. For what it's worth, I've already cleaned the charging port with compressed air and made sure the "tongue" part is exactly in the center.

I thought unlocking my bootloader and rooting my phone voided the warranty, but is that just Verizon's warranty, not Samsung's? Would Samsung repair my phone despite the unlocked bootloader? Is is a one year warranty as well? Being without my phone wouldn't be the worst thing in the world because I could always reactivate my old OG Droid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prosumerhacks:
restart pc and try again...

restarting the pc or laptop to which gnex is connected will most probably solve the issue...

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrbmed08:
Tried that already. The phone doesn't show up on my control panel across multiple computers, USB cables, and USB ports, even though it shows a charging icon while attached to the USB port when the cable is held the right way.

I'm fairly certain only the OEM cable actually allowed my phone to be recognized by my computer and transfer data from the beginning, and none of the other cables I've tried have ever worked. That's why I'm holding out hoping it's the cable and not the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrbmed08:
At this point I'm getting ready to send it in to Samsung for repair. Do any of you know if Samsung will replace the USB component for free since it's under warranty or if they charge?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] unknownzero:
They will don't worry I had this problem, just make sure there isn't any major physical damage. Your warranty if fine as long as you make it look like factory. They follow a rule, if it looks like the original factory image, they don't check. Sorry for long wait been busy, but anyways good luck!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asked Man:
Got my answer, please delete this thread!

I know this was asked before, checked the old threads. I couldn't quite find the answers I was looking for.

I live in Brazil. Here, both the A500 and the TF101 sells for ~US$ 650. The TF101 dock goes for another US$ 200. So, the dock is out of the plan. Similar powered tablets like Motorola Xoom or GT 10.1 goes for US$ 750 - 900, in current exchange rates.

I tested the Xoom and disliked it. I found it less responsive than my xperia play.

I like connections, so apple is out of the picture as well.

With that in mind, regarding the A500/TF101, as of today:

- Can any of them charge through the USB?

- Is the USB host on the A500 powered? Can I plug a usb hub on it?

- Regarding custom ROMs, is the TF really much better?

- Root, BL, is it really easier on TF?

So, I know that TF + Dock is better than A500, but without it, is the TF still superior? I am about to fork $650 on one, So I thought it was better to double check.

Does anyone know of any way to disable the phone radio WITHOUT that stupid "flight mode" or whatever? In Windows Mobile, I had a Comm Manager and I just had to press a button when I wanted to turn off the phone without any stupid flight mode crap, and this is one of my biggest complains about Android. Surely SOMEBODY made software or something to do this.

Puzzled.

Whats wrong with airplane mode? It should allow wifi and bluetooth to work even when in airplane mode.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Yes, somebody did.

It's a small yet promising company, you might have heard of them. They call themselves "Google".

What exactly is the problem with Airplane Mode? Are you afraid of air travel? :p

Even so, you know that you can use airplane mode on land too, you don't have to actually get on a plane every time you want to disable your phone's radio, right?

FYI, on Windows Mobile, that button in Comm Manager was in fact an -sit tight!- airplane mode button.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
What do you have against Airplane Mode? That's by far the easiest way to toggle the radio.

The other way would be to open your dialer, dial "*#*#4636#*#*" (INFO), select Phone Information, scroll down, and press the "Turn off radio" button. Much easier than toggling Airplane Mode.... right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Maybe instead of accusing people of trolling, you should try to explain the "PROBLEM". Because quite frankly the way you put it, no one can understand what is wrong. You want to disable radio and that is EXACTLY what flight mode does. Period.

So what exactly is your problem? :eek:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kainppc6700:
I thought I did a pretty good job explaining, so there's no need to be scared - but incase you and the rest of the "flight trolls" :-) missed it, the goal is to find a way to turn off the phone radio without using flight mode.

Thanks.

Why not use airplane mode? I'm trying to understand your reasoning here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
If you want to turn off the radio, you switch airplane mode on.

Why don't you want to do that????????

We are trying to understand what you don't like about airplane mode since the only thing it does is exactly what you ask for: it turns off the radio.

Let me put this another way:

What if I make a thread and asked, "Does anybody know a way to switch my phone off without using that stupid on/off button?"

Would you be able to help me then?

And if you think this is trolling, keep it like this and you're in for big surprises...

As I have explained NUMEROUS times prior in this thread, flight mode denies access to ALL radios while it is activated.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
Can you point me to where you have explained NUMEROUS times in this thread about flight mode denying access to ALL radios? I looked back through it and only ever see you mentioning the phone radio, and your strange (and misinformed) aversion to Airplane Mode.

Airplane Mode does not restrict access to all radios. Yes, it will turn them all off when it is first enabled, but you can then turn on the ones you want - bluetooth, wifi, etc.

I used this trick while I was deployed last year - I couldn't access some items in the Market due to where I was and what carrier I was on. I would enable Airplane Mode, turn the Wifi back on, and be able to access those items on the Market once more.

You're welcome. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Don't try to reason with insanity. :D

We were somehow expected and obligated to deduct "turns off all radios" from the characterisation "crappy". :p

Exactly! ;)

And if turning WiFi and BT back on again is a hassle for anyone, this app works very well for me: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.geekherd.airplanemode.

Keeps WiFi and BT on after turning on airplane mode.

Wow, I don't know what to say... It worked! I'd still like to not have that stupid flight mode thing, but it worked! That's half the battle right there - I swear I tried that before and had trouble with it. Is this a problem that can plague only certain ROMs (the no WiFi/BT in flight mode problem, that is)?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vatharian:
Please stop flaming each other.

I actually second that ability.

And, lo and behold, there is substantial difference between that dreaded airplane mode and just turning off the GSM radio. AND in WinMo there was actually separate control panel applet that was dedicated solely to controlling GSM module. And I had at least 3 WinMo devices with both stock and custom roms and I think it was essential.

The difference is, that when you switch airplane mode on it disables both bluetooth and wifi (I like to call it 'autistic mode'), so then you have to enable them back. To 99% of ppl it's not a problem but for me - I've faced at least a dozen times situation when someone kept calling me when I was trying to operate remote machine through SSH on WiFi, knowing that after disconnect the machine will reboot. I haven't got time to enter the INFO code between the calls, all I wanted was to pull down the notification pane, switch tab to quick settings and turn of GSM. But no... I hope you get the picture?

Actually, very simple app that forces the INFO code and issues radio on/off command would be enough. So - does any body has information about such app?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
Considering this thread has been dormant since February we have stopped flaming each other... anyhoo.

Check out the latest Tasker beta. It includes a function that allows you to select which interfaces will be affected by Airplane Mode. Set it so that only the cellular radio is impacted and you can easily toggle Airplane Mode on and off without affecting your Wi-Fi connection. I believe there are also other apps available in the Play Store that will function similarly.

Also take a look at the thread linked in my sig. Pretty sure I mentioned another app there that does something similar. In the middle of cooking dinner or I'd link it directly.

EPIC Reply

Don't burn me!

I liked that too. Back on the Diamond, I had the corner softkey mapped to being the shortcut to the good old fashioned Comm Manager. One program let you control the phone, bluetooth, and WiFi radios from one screen without any "flight mode" bull. I don't usually pay for Android programs, but I'm almost at the point where I'd say I'd pay for something like that.

LOL! :D

Nonsense, I would never do that. :)

Not trying to dis your suggestion, but what is it with Android users and their attachment to FLIGHT MODE?!?!?! Why can't there be a button that lets you turn on and off just the phone radio, just like there is for bluetooth and wifi and even GPS?! I'm not going on a flight, but I just need to be able to power off the radios individually.

Still on the inferior GSM networks? Try Sprint and buying a used SERO plan - they come with unlimited data, unlimited messaging, unlimited roaming, unlimited night/weekend/m2m voice, and 500minutes of general voice. To get the $30 rate, you do need a device older than a TP2, but if you can figure out how to clone the ESNs and settings, it is so worth it. I've saved over $100 in just the last three months versus one of Sprint's comparable "fresh new" plans; SERO's the stuff :D

Nice guide though, you might just have inspired me to do one like it for the Epic side of the forums.

- 2B
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
I guess the "attachment" is simply because that is the only way built into the system to toggle the cellular radio. That's how it was designed, and that's how it is used. As I mentioned, using the latest Tasker you can control which radios are actually affected by "FLIGHT MODE?!?!?!". If you like, you can make it so that Airplane Mode only impacts the cellular radio. Add an Airplane Mode toggle widget to your home screen, and BAM - you've got a one-click solution for toggling the cellular radio. Is this not what you're after?

I like the flexibility afforded by GSM networks, and Sprint (at least around me) has very little coverage and even less data speed. I've saved over $150 in just the last three months on T-Mobile prepaid ;) It's good to know that the CDMA-using folks aren't SOL though when it comes to cheap service. I get asked frequently either in threads here or on G+ what options CDMA users have, so I may have to send those inquiries your way. At the least, let me know if you put together a "CDMA service on the cheap" guide.

Cheers,

I guess I'll just have to succumb to the peer pressure and break down and use flight mode and also have to have a look at "tasker".

Sprint is admittedly the weaker CDMA carrier with less signal in less places and a terrible company that manages network upgrades and stuff like that, but most of their plans include unlimited roaming on Verizon, so then you really end up with access to the most towers out of anybody since actual Verizon customers aren't always given the opportunity to roam onto Sprint. I live in a place with Verizon and no Sprint and during the season, I commute to one of those rare places where there is Sprint and no Verizon, so this is one of the only ways to make service work for me. CDMA has slightly slower 3G speed and can't have voice and data connected simultaneously, but from what I've read and seen, it just seems to be the more robust network, requiring fewer towers and less battery use from the users' phones. Around me, all the places that Sprint lacks, TMobile lacks, if not more. There was a point where I was tempted to get an HD2 and bite the GSM bullet, but their service (and I think lack of roaming on that $30 plan if I remember correctly) held me back from doing it.

I mean, there's a time and place for everything, and the TMobile $30 plan is probably good for a lot of people who live and commute where TMobile's network is at its strongest. Those people will have faster data and be able to use voice and 3G at the same time, which just goes to show that there's a tradeoff for everything. I guess it just depends on your situation. There's always a way to save for everyone, even in this economy.

Thanks.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorthon:
Just in case anyone got here through Google, like me,, and would like to know the answer:

The app "force LTE only" can disable radio power;

Force LTE Only (4G/5G) - Apps on Google Play

This app will help You change network to 5G/4G/3G/2G and stay in chosen network

play.google.com

Works on my Android 13 Samsung device.

The reason I need it is that with airplane mode on, apps are not allowed to toggle WiFi on and off, so apps like "wifi automatic" won't work. With wifi_sleep_policy gone from the settings and *#*#4636#*#* GSM code not working on Samsung device, this was the only solution I found to force wifi on and off with screen on/off on my 5G/LTE enabled tablet.

After the latest update I have found my TFP connecting at 72Mbps to my router. I guess this is a two part question.

1. Has anyone gotten their TFP to connect at 100+ Mbps?

2. Is 72 Mbps enough for 1080p streaming?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
Link speed is not your true speeds. It is your theoretical maximum throughput of your current connection.

It does not, however, reflect on what speeds you are currently getting.

BTW I'd say about 15 Mbps is enough for HD streaming. It really depends on what service you're using but if you mean streaming between devices, it'd be nice to have a little more.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CrunchyDoodle:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Azeolus:
I'm quite aware that internet speeds and Wi-fi speeds are not the same. You may be getting 16Mbps out to the internet, what I want to know is what LAN over Wi-Fi speeds people are getting. N band should allow for 100+ link-speeds, which would require channel bonding, what I'm trying to get at is seeing what sort of speeds the N band receiver in the TFP can achieve.
