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.

It's a sync/charge cable. You can't ignore one and not get the other. IF you're plugging this into a USB port on the PC, you're also charging it. I saw this post a few weeks (months?) ago announcing a new type of cable that "looks" like a sync/charge cable but you can flip a switch on it and it will only act as a data cable or vice-versa only act as a charging cable.

Have you tried plugging it in to another PC? You sure the USB ports on the original PC aren't at fault?
