wouldn't the USB cable that came in the box be able to do data and power? Like i said, that one does the exact same thing as the 3 aftermarket cables i bought.

the phone is out of the 30day return policy. i really don't think its the phone per say. i think its either a driver issue or software setting some where.

i'm not the only person that has had this issue. the other people seem to find that it is completely random on which computers do and don't work. maybe it has something to do with BIOS/motherboard or USB controller settings or voltages..

i don't know, i am completely stumped

as a sorta win... i was able to get it to stay connected long enough to my laptop to root the phone! but it still has the issue after root. i just have to keep unplugging and replugging it in and every so often it works for a while

the weirdest part is when i plug in to my wall charger it charges just fine and doesn't have a problem.
