I agree, I think many of the HTC devices have poorly manufactured USB connections. Maybe cheap or poorly done solder connections? The internal connection has come slightly loose on mine after a few months, so I sometimes need to plug the USB cable in at a slight angle or shift it back and forth slightly to get it to connect. I had this happen on two 6700's prior to my Titan too. I would caution not to shift it too much though, as if the solder is weak, you could end up just snapping it off the board (this is why I had TWO 6700's). I also never had the Advance Network Functionality affect my USB connection in any way.

Hope it helps!
