Will not stay connected via USB
 

i searched around and i cant find the thread on this.

i was charging my phone through the USB port and it just randomly disconnected. i reconnected at it is recognized for a second then disconnects. the menu comes up on the screen and i see the notification at the top, but after about 2 seconds it just acts like i unplugged it

i have tried multiple USB ports, cables and different PC's and they all do the same thing now.

i installed HTC sync and rebooted the machine. i changed the power settings on the machine and made sure that the USB power management is disabled.

does any one have3 any idea whats going on?

Will the EVO continue to charge through the port? If not, it is likely a bad USB port on the EVO. If so, are you running a custom ROM, are you rooted, what do you have installed on the EVO, have you restarted the EVO?

i have this issue tho I admit it was after flashing Damage Control 3.2.1 but I think it a bad usb port, i have to keep it in a certain position to work, but htc is known for having bad usb ports on a fone, so if it gets really bad, I'm just gonna take it back...but out of curiosity are you on DC rom too???

I have the stock ROM. not rooted. with only basic apps installed. handcent, dolphin, and a few games but those all have been there longer than the issue.
plugged directly in to a wall the phone charges fine.
plugged in to ANY usb port it connects for about 2 seconds then disconnects. there is just enough time for the connect to PC screen to come up but that doesnt even stay there long enough to make a selection.

so something else thats weird. with the phone completely powered off, connected to USB port on my PC, the orange charge led is on... as soon as i power the phone on it disconnects.

my best guess is its a driver issue

alright i think i got it...

Info : Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit

-first i uninstalled HTC Sync and the HTC driver from add/remove programs
-unplugged the phone from the PC
-reinstalled HTC sync
-plugged phone back in and selected Disk Drive on the connect to PC screen
-then in my system tray i double clicked on the installing new device icon
-it gets stuck searching for the ADB update via windows update. so i clicked where it says Skip windows update
-wait a few seconds and bam! it works

I agree, I would suspect a driver issue. Ironically HTC put HTC Sync on the SD card, so you will need a reader to get it off, if you haven't already copied it to your PC.

You sure the device hasn't just simply stopped charging because it's full?
