[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfractal:
Could be. I really don't know what to think other than a faulty hardware. I tried blowing compressed air into the usb port. Other than changing the usb port assembly I don't see another way. I am with no warranty as well as I bought it from HK when they just came out and it is my understanding that Samsung only respects the warranty within the country the device is bought.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Compressed air usually unable to remove tar from pin

If you want to clean it, better use cotton soacked with spirit/petrol (after removing battery), as it evaporates rapidly. N let it dry completely.

Any update on your situation, mfractal?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfractal:
Unfortunately no. I've tried cleaning the contacts but that also didn't help.

Thinking about trying to replace the usb charging port assembly but can't seem to find a dealer that sells it. Also not sure it'll help....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
That's a bummer.:(

My commiserations, mate.

I still hope you'll sort it out in the end.

Thanks bud. Once I locate that usb port assembly ill try to replace it.

Dude, I too had such an issue earlier, but what I did was, I tried installing an application @ the market named "USB Mass Storage Watcher" and as soon as I installed and configured so, I got my drive identified immediately. May seem pretty noob, but no harm in giving a try....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfractal:
didn't work.... same as before, only charging.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelstify:
same problem

Hey Mfractal, I'm having the exact same problem, i have car mode activating randomly, Usb not recognized in different pc's, symptoms are getting worse and now the phone is starting to act all weird with the battery guage, i plug the charger and the icon wont change to the lightning inside the battery as if the charger is not connected, after a while the icon will randomly show its charging, if i unplug it still displays its chrging?? Very weird, i think its hardware, im on stock rom and have never flashed the phone, very dissapointed with samsungs quality, the phone is only 3 months old, what did u do?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bucklee:
I also have a similar issue, anytime I install a clean ROM, I only get MTP connection option. So I gave up on Clean fresh install. I had to revert back using my back-up of previous RRom and it works again. I don't think it is hardware because It works perfectly, only when I do a clean Rom install, I have issues.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfractal:
i am afraid you have a similar issue to mine. you'll need to either service it if it's under warranty or go the self repair way and order the part like i did.

the only place i found to purchase the Connector Charge Port Flex Cable which is the part you need is on ebay uk :

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...4&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160#ht_3514wt_1163

absolutely different software issue.

Ahh man that sucks :( I have the worst of lucks when it comes to electronics, first Archos, worst purchase ever and now this, i thought Samsung was a reliable company. I had my phone purchased in the States and shipped to Ecuador, I'm wondering if warranty can served here, why did you go for the self repair way? were you out of warranty?, was it easy to do? and most importantly did it solve the issues?, sorry for so many questions:confused:, I guess that's what i get for been innovative, I might go to the dark side and get an iphone like everyone else, at least they work as advertised and longer then 3 months:mad:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfractal:
I am actually in a similar situation to yours. I ordered mine off ebay from a seller in Hong Kong in December so technically I am still under warranty as are you. Problem is, Samsung only respects the warranty in the country of purchase.

As for the part replacement - haven't arrived yet. My fingers are crossed.

Oh as for the iphone - same crap happened to mine - after about 2 months the home button became unresponsive, sent it for repair where they had to replace the mobo.. One month after the warranty ended it broke again needing a mobo replacement uet again. So yeah... Don't think iphones are better in that regard.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babaandnana:
I have this situation too. I came from stock LA6 then about 2 weeks ago, I rooted the phone and downgraded to KJ1, and immediately flashed rocket rom 22 then rocket rom 23. Today, I wanted to transfer a bunch of photos to my pc however my laptop can't detect anything. I made sure that Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging is ticked.

Also, I used 3 data cables and all those cables have no problem at all as my LG Optimus 2x gets detected with the same cables (I tried switching phones on the same cable/USB port).

I hope somebody could find some work around.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P_stman:
have you checked in device manager what the computer identifies the phone as??

you could uninstall the device that the computer recognies the phone as and do a manual install.. it always works for me.

Even if the phone is just charging i can guarantee that the pc ses the phone as some kind of device, usually with a little yellow question mark on it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfractal:
in my case the computer DOES NOT SEE the phone at all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babaandnana:
Well, that is the weird thing, I opened device manager expecting something to pop up or change when I plug or unplug the phone but nothing is going on.

Looks like we are on the same team. :(

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babaandnana:
Hopefully it will. But I still am hoping it is just running in conflict with one of the applications I installed, although it is less likely to be the reason.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syncopath:
Well I hesitate to give advice to one obviously much more advanced than me, but nothing ventured, nothing gained so here goes.

As you will be able to see from my recent posts I've been having a fine old time getting my Note rooted, but thanks to a number of really great XDA members I got there in the end. Anyway, along the way I also had PC-Note connection problems which led me to a few discoveries, one of which I don't see in any of the posts on this thread, so for what it's worth:

Go to Settings, Wireless and network, USB utilities, USB mass storage: tap "Connect storage to PC" button. Connect the cable. With a cheerful chime a little green Android should appear, triumphantly holding up a large USB symbol. Click the button "Connect USB storage". After a brief wait the little Android should turn orange with the message "USB storage in use".

I discovered that only with the Note in this state was flawless communication possible between Note and PC.

Well, just in case you hadn't tried something like this already...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfractal:
thanks, i saw that advice in one of the other threads, and tried it, unsuccessfully.

Connection problems can be divided into two groups - software and hardware related. Unfortunately i fall in the latter category.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MicroNuts:

@Micronuts and syncopath

Thank you for the suggestions but those suggestions were already selected but its seems that our phones doesn't respond to it.

@mfractal

Holy Shoot! I got it to work man. I just placed a micro sd card and somehow it worked. :D it can now detect the internal and the external sd cards. Hope it will work with you mate.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ulyshut:
i got the same problem but somehow i managed to fix. what i did was i install the droid explorer. On software it will detect your phone but not gnote something like numbers only and you can see the sd and ext card. after this i unplug the note from the pc then uncheck the debugging mode under applications wait for a couple of minutes then plug again to the pc and it detects. btw make sure the droid explorer is close when plugging the note again. it work for me but the problem is when i check the debugging mode again it doesnt detect. i think it is something to do with debugging mode when enabled while charging is cause the note and the pc problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelstify:
Worked Also!!

Hey Mcfractal,

dude remember i had the same issues as yours?, i was going through your post again hoping you would have a successful update with the usb board replacement, from what i see you're still waiting for the piece to arrive, anyways i found this other thread that you also found yourself a while back: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1470082&page=5

and i gave it a shot and wualla, my phone was detected :) i cant take this as a final solution for i don't know how long this patch will last so im hoping your usb board replacement works out and you can maybe make a dis assembly video tutorial so i can have my usb board replaced as well.

Give it a try it might work for you too, i got a small piece of cotton and soaked it in alcohol, squeezed it to a damp almost dry point and pushed it in the usb port with a safety pin, the other thread mention some pointy plastic but couldnt find anything like that, the cotton did come out a bit dirty from dust and fluff, then i just removed the cotton and with the bare pin touched the contact pins & scraped them a bit and pushed them downwards not inwards gently, i don't

know if i did it right as the other guy described but the point is it worked,

I'm quit confused at this point to whats the problem in the port, and whats to assure me that once changed the same problem wont happen again?:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedd90210:
Hi Mfractal,

did you received the replacement charging port?

Did it fix the problem?

I have exactly the same problem :-(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfractal:
Hey mate, no, unfortunately i haven't gotten it yet. However, a week or so ago, i plugged the note to the computer and it miraculously worked.

Don't know what to make out of it yet. Still waiting for the replacement part, and i will replace it even though it appears to be working again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Narada2XK:
Did you try it on Linux? After trying it on two computers, which sound Windows based, try it on Linux. Try a live cd or something *shrugs*
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedd90210:
Thank you for the answer.

I ordered the replacement charging port from ebay too.

I will receive it in 10 days. I will let you know if it fixed our problem.

Sorry for my bad english :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apoorva.iyer:
Hi mfractal!

I just started facing the exact same issue that you're facing. Did replacing the flex connector work for you?

It's really crippling to not have root on the note and not have USB working either :-/

I'm really hoping that changing the flex connector works.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfractal:
guys, it's been about 50 days since i oredered and i still haven't gotten it. I really hope that i will within a week or so. already contacted the seller and he promised to send an additional board if i don't get that one within the next three days.

Brazilian customs FTW!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsarjien:
Hi mfractal,

I was wondering around the net to see if there was a related issue to mine.

I have experienced the same issue with my stock ICS GT-N7000.

Luckily i have warranty and asked for a repair already.

Possible reasons for this issue are ;

Extremely over heating.

Using different chargers than whats originally supplied.

Using non-original usb cabels and power surges.

I ll be muuuch more careful with my G note next time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apoorva.iyer:
It works!

Okay guys. Since mfractal seemed to be having customs issues, I went ahead and ordered one off ebay myself.

This is the item I bought - ebay.com/itm/330759794803 . It was $9.78 including shipping when I ordered it, but I have no idea why it's $27 now.

I didn't have the screwdriver for this, so I ordered one off Amazon - amazon.com/gp/product/B000FGQ1G6 .

Here are the steps that I followed to change the Micro USB Connector. It might/might not work for you. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE!

Also, remember to keep track of your screws.

Turn off the phone, open the rear cover and remove the battery, S Pen, micro SD card and the SIM Card.

Remove all the screws from the rear side of the phone. There should be 9 of them.

Shove something flat (I used a guitar pick) at the place where the metal meets the plastic on the front face and go around the phone carefully popping the clasps that hold it in place. (Look at splicd.com/aChzv3IzxsU/50/108 for reference. It's for the S2, but it works for the Note as well.)

Remove the three screws that hold the plastic piece on the lower rear side of the phone and take the plastic piece off. Also, with the phone placed screen side down, remove the screw on the right side and the screw on the top.

Carefully remove the six ribbon connectors using your flat tool (guitar pick worked for me). Also remove the small cable that connects the micro USB board to the main board.

Replace the board, and reverse all the steps that you followed above.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfractal:
Cheers, i forgot to update the thread but I did get mine about a week ago (finally) and following a procedure similar to the one posted above replaced the board. Everything is good again :-)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ray3andrei:
I saw the review of the ics gs2 and at the end i saw some benchmarks... on the cpu side the nexus seems to hold its own againts the xperia s which on paper has a faster cpu snapdragon 3 1.5Ghz compare to omap 4460 1.2.. also gs2 seems to be slightly slower in the cpu benchmarks compared to Gnex.... What do you think?

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_ii_ics_vs_gingerbread-review-737p4.php
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elban:
gs2 is surely faster on graphics (it has a more advanced gpu, though clocked slower), but it has less screen resolution.

on the cpu side they should be pretty equivalent.

i don't know about the xperia.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biffsmash:
In real world usage my SGS2 was significantly faster than my GNEX in every department barring taking a picture.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdrienC:
I wouldn't trust that much on benchmarks.

What matters is how polished the stock roms are for each device.

I love how the nexus keep running smooth even after installing a ton of apps, never experienced the same with other devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zapek666:
While the MSM8260 (Xperia S) is clocked faster, it has a single channel memory interface while the TI-OMAP 4460 (Galaxy Nexus) has a dual channel interface.

Also beware of those benchmark tools. Most of them are crap. For example they use the phone's resolution to do 2D/3D benchmark which is not a fair way to compare.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Was it significantly faster in getting updates?

;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
Benchmarks are cool in a sense, but I've started ignoring them. My GNex has been really fast, even with Window and Transition Animations. There are exceptions. I ABUSE my Android devices with heat (nature of my work environment). When it gets hot, it does lag. At the same time, the CPU is also scaling itself back. When I get the rare lock'n'reboot it's pretty much always due to heat. Typically, flinging through settings, menus, apps, etc is really fast. Right now I have wireless tethering on and I'm streaming audio through Tune In. My battery is almost 120F. It's slower. Any device would be. If I pick up my Nook running CM7, it'll be slower right now too due to heat.

Benchmarks mean very little to me now. I mean, what's the point? What are you gonna do, brag about a superficial number? Get it engraved on your belt buckle? ;) I think they can be an indication of certain aspects of a device, but benchmarks do not necessarily tell someone what kind of user experience that device is going to provide.

If I pick up my favorite device and I can do what I want to do quickly and smoothly then I'm fine with it. Even OCing a high end device is something I've never been able to tell a difference with. Now my Nook, yeah, an overclock worked wonders. On the GNex, pish, nah. Remember too, a lot of these 1.5Ghz devices are pushing a bloated framework too. Beyond that, ICS is going to have it's own limitations, especially when it has bugs to get worked out.

It can kinda be like cramming 16GB's of Ram into a PC running 32 bit Windows 7. The hardware addition is irrelevant and while you can brag about 16 gigs of ram to all of your friends, it's a pointless feature of your system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elban:
one thing for sure is that software optimization means much more than hardware differences between those 3 phones.

thus, it depends on what you're going to run: stock, aosp, cyanogen, miui? that's the question.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
This. I think one of my favorite aspects of the nexus is its dual channel memory. So important for performance.
