Re: Phone thinks charger is Usb cable

Some of you may have to reflash your roms or reinstall activesync.

I've noticed that sometimes if you have a problem with usb storage/activesync and the drivers on the computer it may not charge because the computer doesn't recognize the device. I think the computer gets confused between storage and sync. I think this may happen when the device isn't removed properly, or in the middle of doing syncing or transferring, specially if you have a cable that you have to wiggle to make it connect/charge.

Now that everything is made in china, some cables won't sit in there snug enough that if you move the phone around while syncing or charging, it disconnects it.

When I flash I ONLY use the USB cables that I know won't disconnect if I jiggle it, then I make sure that I DO NOT move/touch the phone at all when flashing.

I try not to use the loose cables for transferring, if I have to then I just don't move it or prop the cable up so that it has pressure on it so that it stays connected.

You'll know when you have a driver issue when you hook up the phone and it installs it as a new device and it'll say "Qualcomm something...something...." in a little balloon. At that point I uninstall activesync and reinstall it and that usually fixes the problem.
