Can not connect to PC. Only battery charge

[tbcengineer]

I tried everything you have tried, then I finally out of desperation pulled the battery and sprayed some electronics contact cleaner directly into the usb port from the bottom of my Titan. Nothin' immediately improved (after blowing it dry for 10 minutes), but the next day it worked flawlessly and has since, including booting beyond the boot screen without the usb cable plugged in, sync'ing, etc.

Hope this helps.

i used a power blower at work spraying air at 2200 PSI and it still didnt clean it lol

but i went to sprint store and the guy there couldnt transfer my contacts bcause it wouldnt connect but to come in on monday for the tech

yeah, I'm having the same problem...charge but no sync. Mine is intermittent though. I was having the problem, and I tried rebooting both PC and PPC. I got it to connect after many tries, so I flashed a new rom while I had the chance. It seemed to work for a few days after that, but now today, no dice. If I can't get it to work consistently, I think I might try to flash a stock rom and take it in under warranty (3 weeks to go). If I can't control my frustration, I'll try a BFH, and let you know if that works.

I had this problem with my 6700. There are 2 solutions. The easiest solution is Microsofts new "My Phone" You sync your phone over the air. The link is here: http://myphone.microsoft.com. I had a problem with the server duplicating my contacts so I don't really like it that much, but I gotto give microsoft props for offering it. It's a great service and it has done me well. Google also has something called goosync that wrks well. Both are free.


The other option I personally prefer is to connect via bluetooth. On you phone go to activesync and click menu and then "sync via bluetooth." Obviously your computer needs bluetooth. I bought my bluetooth fob for $10 on ebay.

It works great. Once you sync bring the phone to the store and they should be able to fix the USB port or replace the phone.

Didn't know about the microsoft sync thing, but I have sync'd via bluetooth. For me, updating isn't a problem at all. I sync'd very recently so all my stuff is already on my computer.

My biggest question is whether I need to flash a stock rom before I bring it in to USCC. There seems to be some debate about it from people on both sides who are equally passionate. I suppose if I can get it to connect by chance, I might as well flash the stocker. eh? Or don't I even need to worry about that with USCC?

None of the cellular carriers will warranty a device that has a third party ROM so yeah, it's best to flash back to stock before returning.
