Had that happen to me. Had the phone replaced.

It's kind of a weird problem... Use to happen to me ALOT on the Mogul, not so much on the TP...All of a sudden a usb cord I was using 5 minutes ago is no longer operable in my Mogul but it works on my digital camera... so this got me to thinking it was in my phone until I tried 2 different usb cords on it & the problem wasn't there anymore. What makes it even more weird is that a couple of weeks or so later that first usb cord I had to replace is now working again.. I just figured it might've been a short somewhere & left it at that.

the pins on these phones break easily. and sprint told me i did it, even though i'm faily certain it's wear and tear with these phones, don't think they are using good quality ports. i've only had this problem with the touch pro, and my mogul, never any other mini usb device.

I know this post was last month but no one ever clarified on it, and it would be retarded if this became one of those TP-related myths.

The fastcharge driver just allows your phone to draw more than 500 mah from a regular USB port. When you charge it on the wall, it draws more than that, up to 1000 mah, even without the fastcharge driver. Thus, the fastcharge driver will not burn up your USB port on your phone., that's just nonsense.

I totally agree, I dont see any way this could damage your phone in any way.

Also as far as relocking goes I returned a couple Vogues and 1 Diamond and alls I ever do is flash back to stock, I dont relock it and Iv never had an issue.

Need to put the stock rom on. Think i can do it via sd. But the real prob is locking it again

This is the link to relock with the SD card only. Good luck.

On my Mogul, not quite sure how it happened, but my phone would connect and charge to the PC but the AC charger wasn't working at all. If I wiggled it a little bit it would work but that was extremely difficult....SOOOO I took out a claim and got my TP =D>
