Motorla Flipside won't stay connected to PC via USB Cable - Flipside General

Hey Guys!
My sister decided that she wanted me to flash her Motorla Flipside. So I decided I would just root it and format the phone and everything. The problem now is when I plug in the USB Cable to the Phone and PC, it goes from connected via usb to scanning memory card to connected and so on. It will do it constantly. If we plug it to charge with the usb cable, it works. I have 1 PC and 2 Laptops but none of them made a difference.
Please tell me what I can do to fix this. The only thing that I am thinking is another cable.
Oh. Also, I know the phone can connect to the Laptop, because I backed up some of her stuff about 3 weeks ago from usb to her laptop.
Thanks in Advance...

USB cable not working, how do I download anything?

Hi I'm looking for some good, hopefully free, games for my HD but for some reason my USB lead has given up and I don't know how else to do it or any suitable sites?
My USB worked when I first got it, I synced with my laptop and backed everything up. Now when I plug both in the phone still charges but neither the phone or the laptop seem aware of each other! Any ideas?
Any suggestions of sites for free games that don't require USB downloads? Or what might of happened to my USB?

Have you checked usb drivers?
Put your phone into bootloader by turning off device, then holding vol down and pressing power on. You should have a tricolour screen. Now connect phone to pc via usb cable. Does bopttom of bootloader screen change from 'Serial' to 'usb'? If not, update usb drivers here
As for games. There is a list of games which work on the HD in the wiki. Try searching Themes, Applications and Software forum. Also, any further queries regarding games should be in Themes, Applications and Software forum
if all else fails use bluetooth to sync and install stuff
Search, find, download, extract.
Place downloaded on sd card (cardreader)
Insert sd card and install apllication
I have had a similar problem with my TD2, when I use the usb cable that came with the phone it charges (from the mains plug), then when connected to the PC it will detect it and sync fine, I got bored of swapping the single cable from the charger to the PC so decided to use a spare usb cable (retractable one I had for the cig lighter for my car), it charges fine (in car or charger or PC), but Windows XP gives an error. If I swap back to the other cable its fine, I dug out an old cable from my XDA Orbit and that is ok as well.
In conclusion, all usb cables are not the same, and my TD2 is more fussy with cables !! Try using a different cable.
Quite Right you are. Had the same problem a while ago. Got sick of this so I cut the not working cable. Guess what...? The bugging cable only had two threads inside. It was a cable for charging only...http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

generic micro usb cable only charges

bought generic micro usb cables from amazon and when i try to use as data transfer from computer running windows 7 it says device drivers not installed correctly but when i use original it works fine... i have tried 3 of the five i bought and they are all the same are the cables faulty or did samsung change their cable? anyone else having this problem?
i am running antoniomistrerrA note xxkka rom with 2.6.35.14-fm-gbda6637 kernal... thanks for the rtesponse
Throw the cables and buy new one. Some of the USB cables are not proper wired and wires are in bad quality.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Well that has happened for me, but since yesterday im not being able to transfer data even with de original usb cable. has this happened to anyone else?
There are some cables that are charge only. Can you post a link.
GALAXY NOTE
I'm using the original cable that came with the note but somehow only charges! it doesn't even do that usb sound when plugged, tried restarting the phone and KIES doesn't detect it either..
This is happening after yesterday the phone started saying it was having a charging/unplug LOOP (constantly vibrating) even with the cable off. this was fixed removing the battery :/
Edit 1#
i am also being unable to plug the phone via mass storage usb, it asks me to plug the usb cable and then nothing..
Edit 2#
So i confirm it's now fixed, i tried to unplug again the battery and also cleaned the usb connector of the phone with a toothbrush.. one of those fixed the problem. now I'm just crossing fingers it won't happen again :/

[Q] I cant connect ny hd2 on my computer

Hi im new here
I got my hd2 when it first came out running winmo 6.5 now i just cant connect it to the computer tried more than 1 computer and more than one cable when i connect it only charges i receive nothing on the computer like i used to before i have tried everything in the setting usb to pc still same thing
please help me how can i connect it
and i also tried hard resetting it more than once same thing
under settings tab -----other , there will be a usb to pc button
I bet you have tried all setting changes so since you have done a hard reset and it still doesnt work, it has to be your micro USB cable. I had the exact same problem as yours and i feared that it was the micro USB port that was faulty. But then i tried a different micro USB cable and it works perfectly. Hence, it is likely to be your cable. Im not bad mouthing HTC because of the amazing work they have done, but their accesories seem to be a bit down on quality. My original micro USB cable is now frayed and almost severed, my Touch HD micro USB is also frayed and the original earpiece is now experiencing audio balance issues.
the thing is the cable that comes with the hd2 i lost it but when i was using it i could connect
but now im using nexus one cable and Nokia n900 cable to connect to the computer and it just charges like i said nothing appears
Have you tired different ports in your computer or tried reinstalling the drivers? To do that, uninstall the Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Center in your PC and reinstall it. Then try. If you still cannot connect your HD2 to the PC for USB mode, then im afraid the micro USB port in your HD2 is faulty. Try the above. Meanwhile, use the SD card method for flashing or transfer files using wi-fi or bluetooth.
Good Luck
If your HD2's USB port doesn't work you can connect to ActiveSync via bluetooth. I do that very often for a quick synchronization, and since HD2 has an Activesync profile it's easy to configure...
Anyway, check that "accept USB connections" option is selected in your pc ActiveSync configuration.
Most probably, he's facing the da** usb port breaking issue.

I had the same problem as you, it was impossible to make any computer to recognize the phone. Moreover it charged very slow, the phone thought that it was always plugged to the computer even if it was connected to the wall charger.
I did a factory reset, but the problem persisted. I called Google and they sent my a new phone, which now works perfect.

Won't recognize USB stick

I can connect my V20 to a Windows PC via USB cable, and transfer files back and forth. I had to pick something on a menu the first time I plugged in the phone.
However, if I plug a USB stick directly into the V20, it does not recognize it, or respond at all. My friend plugs the same USB stick into his V10 and an app pops up and shows the folders.
I'm using a micro-USB to USB-C adapter on the stick to plug into the V20. I know the adapter works, because I tested it when connecting to the PC.
I have searched settings for "USB" and it only comes up with USB tethering.
This is an AT&T stock phone, using the stock launcher. No root or anything.
Any idea how to get the USB recognized on the V20? Thanks.
it might be that the USB host function doesn't work with those adapters. have you tried plugging in a USBC to USB adapter and plugging a flash drive into that?
something like this

I've tried the same thing without success. My note 3 & 4 worked fine. I also had a Note 7 and Nexus 6P and it didn't work with those either.
has there been any advancement on this issue?
Did anyone find the answer to this? My V20 used to boot up a USB stick but just stopped working one day.
