[Vibrant General] Skyeclad:
I'm having the same issue but on the Fascinate. I thought that this was do to the Voodoo lagfix so I removed that but it's still happening.

I'm rooted and have CWM loaded but no other modifications.

For me, the USB notifier keeps popping up every second or so. I can't reboot the phone as it still thinks it's connected and shows a battery symbol that isn't charging and then dims. To complete boot I have to either 1) plug in a powered usb cable or 2) pull the battery.

I've had the battery out for 15 minutes and that usually stops this from happening for a day or so. I have no idea what's causing this but I'm leaning towards this being hardware related. Possibly bad battery? I don't know. I have experienced this in my car too.

Some other thoughts, does this phone react differently to different USB cables? I know it's odd, but when I plug into my wall jack using a generic cable I don't get the notifier at all, when I plug into my car with the Samsung cable, sometimes it appears. Of course, it's more of a problem when it appears when no cable it pushed in and it cycles on and off.

Does anyone with this problem have a spare battery they could try?
[Vibrant General] homerbrew:
That happened to me before. I rebooted and that didn't fix it, so I did a master reset and that cleared it up. It was kind of pain to redo everything, but not too bad.
[Vibrant General] Skyeclad:
Someone else posted over at Something awful the following:

Maybe coincidental but I just blew into my USB port and the notifier stopped flashing on and off.
[Vibrant General] shuka325:
Serveral ways to do it and it is actually all over this thread as it appears to be a pretty major issue lately. I also had it on my phone, called tech support and they said it was a known issue and JI6 had the fix. I couldn't get the fix since i was on a third party ROM but was able to find Bionix 1.9.1 that has the JI6 update built in and flashed it and have been without the USB annoyance since. So, to fix you can flash a ROM with the JI6 update built in OR use Odin to flash the JI6 to your phone. For me using Rom Manager is easier than Odin.

[Vibrant General] firefly6240:
the vibrant seems to do that when you have a cable that is wired for data transfer, the vibrant sometimes gives you the message even when your not connected to a computer, (I.E. connected to the wall) if you use a cable that does not do data transfer (it will specifically say not for data transfer on the package) then it will never pop up. Rocketfish makes one of these type cables, its usually more convenient to just deal with the notification rather than getting a special cable though. I only got the charging cable cause the data transfer cables were pretty expensive at best buy. the power only cables are a bit cheaper.

[Vibrant General] jellyculligan:
USB Issue Perhaps Larger Then It Seems

My update on this, no one seems to have presented a solution. Flashes, kernels, etc don't fix. The problem is it incapacitates your phone, as there is no internal SD card mounted since it thinks USB is plugged in. Can't download songs on SD card, can't power on without it plugged in and seeing battery indicator first. Then last night on top of everything, my market showed downloads that I didn't authorize. Strange behavior, I have put bionix, know how to ODIN, etc, but nothing so far has fixed this USB connected / mounted issue and it seems like I have to return this. I'm worried there is a virus associeted with this behavior. I don't download apps that appear dangerous, (sex related, obscure, not without many downloads or robust developer site). I have a friend who has JI6 but has never rooted or modded and around the same time, Halloween his started this too. Power indicator still indicates charging after unplugged, USB connected constantly flashes off and on, battery life is worse. There is soemthing deeper seemingly happening because rebooting, resetting data, wiping dalvik cache, does not give me the basic ability to turn on phone without USB connection. App settings, I say choose on connect. Finally got computer to recognize again as a drive, but inconsistent, tried to reinstall USB drivers on win7. over all really wonky behavior since it powered down while on charger a week or so ago. Sometimes plugging into wall charger gives error. Only way to get it to stop showing USB message was to unmount phone storage, but now I don't even get options to mount or unmount phone storage. love this screen and have loved modding but frustration is sinking in, will try to get tmo to replace with this, but hoping it's not a larger virus related issue, would be scary deal.
[Vibrant General] Wesie:
I don't think so: I have the rooted JI6 on the phone incl. Clockw.

Yesterday I see also that the USB cable "should" be connected, after I have enable the Debug-Mode, the red Triangle comes too in the status bar.

That's all in the Underground station ;)

A reboot helps on my side.
[Vibrant General] jellyculligan:
USB Woes Continue, Phone Meltdown

This is not just a debugging / reboot issue in my case, it is also effecting my friends who doesn't have bionix, just the JI6 build TMO OTA update. THis is a serious bug, perhaps brought on by a virus who knows, but my buddy who has this same problem is now going ballistic and running into the arms of apple. there is no resolution to this issue throughout the forums. Tmo is exchanging with me, and I have installed multiple ROMs, know how to search forums, kernels, ODIN, all that. Now my radio for cellular doesn't turn on and I have to reboot, it just seems pretty hosed at the moment and I find it coincidental that my friends phone (he is a technical design guy) is having the same mounting SD card issue, basically bottom line is, the thing won't turn on without being plugged in and flashing back to stock, different roms, still will not mount the internal SD card, or recognize it in many cases. I have reformatted, cleared davlik cache, most options from recovery, no dice. can't download to SD card, because it always thinks USB is connected, even when the device is turned off. i hope this resent one works fine and I will document the details since this happened for the hard working devs to have details that maybe can be discovered, but the most worrisome part is that it seems like it may be virus related. I hope that's not the case and just odd coincidence. There is no changing USB settings or debugging combinations that will solve this issue in my experience.

sad but hopeful vibrant owner,

As a former Sprint Employee, here is what I can remember: Yes, you do have to add the TEP within 30 days of purchase.

Sprint offers a General Enrollment period either in march or may i forget where you can sign up if you missed your 30 day window.

You MAY be able to deactivate the EVO - activate a different phone that you've never used on the account... then add insurance then reactivate the evo and the insurance sticks

Email from seller

Hi guys,

I bought the same charger and asked which one of the two metal prongs is positive and which one is negative and if the seller knows which contact on the battery is positive/negative.

Apparently the charger can automatically switch polarity...

I've also noticed on the label that the charger has 600mA through the USB port and 400mA through the mains. That's why it's really slow I reckon...

Anyway, here's their response:

You can use the charger by following instruction:

Features and Functions Guide of the charger

for Dell Streak

Standard of the electrical

? Electric current of import: 110V-220V 50/60 HZ 0.1A

? Electric potential of battery charger: 4.2V-5.0V

? Electric current of battery charger:400MA

? Electric potential and current of USB charger: 5.0V-5.2V 600MA

Instruction

? The contacts of the charger can move, you can charge many different styles of battery according to the contacts of the battery.

? You also can adjust the length of the charger according to your battery, the maximum length is 2.95 inch, the minimum length is 0.67 inch. But you should do it gently, or the charge will be damaged.

? The battery for Motorola Droid A855 has 4 contacts, you should use the outsider contacts. And the charger can adjust Polarity automatically in order to fit for the polarity of the battery.

? When the charger is working, the light is pink, when the charger finishes charging, the light turns into blue. And the battery can not be charged for a long time, please pay attention to the light.

? The battery should charge the battery for 10-14 hours in the first three times, and later you should charge the battery for more than 8 hours. Then you can activate the capacity of the battery.

? The USB charger can charge your phone with a suitable USB cable. When you use the battery charger and the USB charger at the same time, the charger will let the USB charger first. The light is blue, after the USB charger finishes its charge, the battery charger will work, and the light is pink.

Warning

? Please do not take out the battery when the charger connects to power supply, or, you will hurt yourself, the battery will be damaged.

? Please do not knock down the item on purpose.

? Please do not let the charger be damped or be exposed in the water.

? Please do not drop the item form a high place.

[Streak 5 Accessories] satanix:
Thanks mate. So have you had any success in charging with your charger?
[Streak 5 Accessories] gypsydigi:
Its slow but it works. Took about 30hours to charge my battery.

Its only 400mA. 1000mA is preference when charging our batteries.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Philip:
Yes, it seems to work fine, although so far I have only used it on a partly charged (~80%) battery.

The charger that I received works off the mains (110-250V at 50 or 60Hz).

It delivers 4.2V at 350mA (+/-50mA) to the battery. However, the battery is under no load, whereas when you charge a battery in situ in the Dell Streak there will be a drain on the battery while it's charging (depending on whether the display/GPS/wifi etc is switched on).

The charger also has a USB output (5.2V at 800mA).

Given the price, I would expect all the voltages and currents to be nominal (although to be fair the build quality is good enough).
[Streak 5 Accessories] BrokenPixel:
Hi I just bought the 3G commerce one the one on ebay but got it at a local chinese/electronic store, the plate that is used to hold the battery against the two pins has to be stretched almost all the way out, feels like it will break the inner spring, probably wont at least I hope so. I have yet to charge my battery with this charger but will do it tonight and see how that goes.

I usually charge my battery with a blackberry desktop charger I had to mod the hell out of it so it could fit the streak battery, and that charger i believe is 4.2v 350ma and charges the battery from 2% to 100% in a little less than 4.5 hours. We use 110v AC for main juice.

When using this "generic" chargers ALWAYS make sure it is a Li-Ion/Poly charger.

You can start a fire if you don't use a proper charger. I will point this out as much as possible :P

[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
This has been posted many times so yes, they are. That's only one reason why the Froyo firmware is still considered a beta/alpha..

The solution is to use stable firmware..The reality is that you can hack away at the tiny bugs of the froyo pre-release, but unless you require the new API, you'd be better off just downgrading for now (there are numerous other problems too, like MobileAP).

It's possible that they added something to detect clock skew though (to provide more accurate clock), and it isn't completely working yet, so it's compensating with the wrong amount.

Or just the drivers might be buggy..

First, I take absolutely no credit for this beyond bringing this to the Evo forums' attention. And, I take absolutely no responsibility for whatever happens to your phone, period, ever.

As you probably know already, when you move up to 2.2, your Pandora streaming will likely take an audio quality hit due to the stagefright encoding introduced in 2.2. The fix is to disable stagefright in your build.prop. Unfortunately, disabling stagefright permanently introduces other issues. glitzbd over in the Nexus Forum posted this method the other day in order to enable/disable stagefright on the fly.

"I just did this on MCR21 (FRF91) and what a difference! Here is what I did!

I downloaded GScript Light (buying the pay version ASAP haha)

Opened the program and ran the CPU script to give it SU

In the program hit the menu button and then add script

I put the following in:

Name: Enable

Needs SU?: Check

setprop media.stagefright.enable-player true

Save

Name: Disable

Needs SU?: Check

setprop media.stagefright.enable-player false

Save

Now go to your launcher and long press to add a shortcut, and then scroll down the GScript and it will bring up a list of all of your scripts, put both of those on the homescreen!

For convenience I will attach the scripts just in case you don't want to bother with it haha

I am not positive on how to add them, but I think you can just unzip them, and place them on your SD card and when you go to add script then hit Load File

Enjoy!"

and per beagz in the Nexus Forum

"Thanks for posting those. I was just about to do that myself. Great job.

Make sure you place them in the gscript folder on the sdcard.

Also long press on homescreen --> shortcuts --> gscript

then select which script you want to have a link to. Then you can just press the icon for enable or disable."

Link to scripts: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=372654&d=1280871021

Now seeing as I don't have the skills for this, should anyone have the skills and would like to help, having a widget for this would be extremely helpful.

Thoughts?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kmartburrito:
Isn't that kinda what you just did, set up an enable and disable widget?

To contribute, however, you could use tasker to create a desktop widget that brought up a menu with two options of disable and enable, and you could click each of those to perform the action.

I've only been using tasker for a week, but it's pretty awesome IMO. I have already created lots of custom stuff. For example, when I plug in my headphones, it sets my volume and opens Pandora.

Anyway, could be an option without having to do coding.

You mentioned that it caused other problems, can you share what those are? I've since changed my build prop too, so I guess I've got whatever those problems are. :/

I tried this...but the problems I encountered was with streaming radio apps such as RadioTime, Yahoo Music and WunderRadio). In my experience, when you switch to false they refuse to connect and stream.

I tried adding the scripts, but it seems that the build.prop file does not get updated no matter what I do.. there are no errors when running the script and it even confirms that it ran, but the value doesn't change...

Edit: I ran Quadrant to make sure the scripts worked and yes, they do affect my scores so it looks like it's changing as it should. Thanks again, hopefully it fixes my audio issues.

Edit2: Seems to have fixed my Last.FM, thanks a bunch!
