N900 USB Port issues, are they resolved yet?

Reading various forums regarding this device prior to purchase and I am seeing a lot of complaints about the USB port not being very well designed. IT would seem that these ports fail within a few months and it may take 4+ weeks to get a repaired phone back
I am so close to purchase but things like this are causing me to rethink my position....

an amend to the previous, it does seem to occur if I leave it purely idle for long periods of time with no powermanagement on, it just doesn't fail if I'm actually using it.

IPhone 5S Call quality issues - Are they resolved?

Hi folks,
So long story short, I was previously a VZW customer with an iPhone 5S. When I was a customer, everything worked great, except one thing, Calls.
What would happen during is:
1) The calls would sound metallic/robotic
2) the calls would sort of go in and out (for example I would hear: " Yeah ... Fun at... Saturday)
(Both 1 and 2 would happen indoors and outdoors)
3) Calls would drop
So like any reasonable person, I called into Customer Service and was offered a Network Extender for $199. This did help indoors for the most part, but not outside (like literally outside my building; out of range perhaps?)
I read of others having the same issues here, so I knew I wasn't alone, but there was just no solution to the problem. I thought it was my iPhone at first. However, I ported out to AT&T and the calls were crystal clear compared to VZW. So that kinda confirmed it's not my phone.
My zip code is 10453 (and this area has great coverage according to the coverage map, but I couldn't get any more than 3 bars of LTE outside and 1-2 indoors). My question is, has this issue been resolved? If so how can I improve it? Honestly looking forward to being a VZW customer again, despite no simultaneous talk and surf on the iPhone.
Thanks for any comments/solutions offered!

When the person called me, I was indoors. I am the one with the ATT phone (wanting to switch to vzw) and never get this issue, not even when Sprint callers call me. The person who called me was outdoors and he has Verizon (zip: 10023)
The call was very choppy with the voice cutting in and out on his end, and the call was slightly metallic sounding. I could barely understand a word he was saying. The quality was exactly the same when I was with Verizon. At first I thought it was my phone, and now this confirms it never was my phone. I am truly convinced this is a notice cancellation issue with verizon because like I said, I never get this issue when Sprint users call me. It doesn't really matter who initiates the call, the quality is always the same, horrible.
I really want to be part of VZ but I can't if I am to expect these issues! please help. I don't know if it's congestion or just the call coding itself.

Anyone any advice on how to stop my mail "activity" from continuously caching? is this a problem? I have had inbox issues recently that are not resolved yet but I am not sure if they are related.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

MSI Gaming 5 USB ports issue

Hello everyone,
I apologize if I posted this in the wrong section, so as the title says it, sorta of a huge USB ports issue just happened after installing the motherboard / windows / all drivers, even restarted a few times
then tested the processor and video card.
Everything ok to that point, I left the pc opened for 3 hours, shut it down, the next day..I couldn't type the windows password.
Alright restart, that maybe one of those kinks that goes away on it's own I guess..Switched each device in different ports..nothing, tried only one device..still nothing.
Tried only usb2.0 ports then 3.0 port > a a little panic kicked in :D
So, in my bios I was seeing 2 keyboards 2 mice..ok...got a bios update from msi site..latest one..flash ..reboot..still nothing.
Strange part was..they were working just fine in bios and everything prior to windows loading, even after that mouse was showing power ( led was ok )but no functionality.
Safe mode didn't help..the miracle of last known good config saved the day.
BUT after choosing the option..ok it started working....randomly..I was typing the windows pass...and right in the middle ...it stopped again..mouse was working...tried again..stopped at 75% of the password.
Tried again...it worked > Reinstalled every driver.. seems stable for now, though being day 2 of this whole deal.
So if anyone honors me with enough time to read the story and maybe relate I would glady appreciate it.
Guys if anyone had any usb related incidents with any of the Z97Gaming boards please share
If I missed anything, please ask.
Thank you

Hello everyone,
Sorry for the delay in all of this and thank you for the input.
Specs are below, and this is something currently in the process of being upgraded.
I7 4790k / MSI Gaming 5 / Sirtec 500W / 8 gb ram Corsair Vengeance / AMD sapphire 7970 GHZ / one single HDD 1 GB
The Windows installation went fine on 2 other colleagues from work.
For the moment stable, I removed and reinstalled all USB related drivers.
It was a weird one though..

Is 10.9.4 having USB port issues?

Is 10.9.4 having USB port issues? I'm noticing copying files to USB ports on my Mac Pro (the front two anyway) seems to be like molasses and give me the pinwheel of death.
Anyone?

ATTN: All Users w/ USB Port Issues

Hello,
I have an A135-2386, BIOS v1.6, 2GB RAM
After reading some of the messages in this forum (and on the web) I'm convinced that the USB issue is directly related to BIOS upgrades.
I had the BIOS password issue happen to me last week and I fixed the issue myself by jumping the pin jopen1 (short with paper clip). Anyway, I updated the BIOS to v1.4 (to prevent the password issue from recurring) and the USB issues started surfacing.
At first I could toggle the legacy usb option in BIOS and the ports would start functioning. But after the pc went to sleep or was restarted the problem came back. Now the toggle workaround no longer helps.
Even though my warranty has expired I did get sympathetic help from Toshiba.
After contacting Toshiba support they suggested I update the BIOS to v1.6 (the latest).
The latest BIOS v1.6 does not solve the USB issue.
Please call Toshiba Support 1-800-457-7777 (24/7) and log this issue.
Refer to my call number; 1-1147317549
If we can get demonstrate that this is a BIOS issue then hopefully we can get a resolution at no cost.
I see someone got a new motherboard in another thread, I'm curious as to what BIOS it has.
Regards,
Kenneth Barrentine

"BIOS upgrades, as identified by Toshiba and other manuf's, is at owner risk."
I've never heard that one before. It's been my experience that most manufacturers want you to stay current.
In case I omitted some details here are the reasons again.
The first BIOS upgrade, v1.1 to v1.4, was so that I would not ever have to deal with resetting a BIOS admin password.
The second BIOS upgrade, v1.4 to v1.6, was recommended by Toshiba Technical Support in an effort to correct the malfunctioning USB ports. Since there was no documentation addressing this issue in v1.6 it did seem pointless to upgrade to this version. I just followed the Toshiba Technical Support recommendation in an effort to correct the USB issue.
I'm leaning toward a PCMCIA<>USB card.
There is a bulletin from Toshiba recommending the BIOS upgrade. There is no mention of risk.

USB port issue on Satellite Pro A300-13Y

I have a Satellite Pro A300-13Y with 4 USB ports. The two right side USB ports dont work. I have bought this laptop recently (2-3 weeks ago). It has a Windows Vista Business SP1 on it. I have Chip set utility installed on it, I have checked the device manager and I have tried to find driver for this but I couldnt solve this.
Then I called Toshiba service dek, they say I have to install again to factory standard install to see if it might be solved. But I dont find it the best way and I have some applications installed on it and have some info on my laptop so, I would like to find another way to solve this problem.
Also I think it could be a hardware issue. Can somebody show the way how can I find or solve this problem? I can also send it to guaranty, but if I made a mistake and if there is not a hardware issue I have to pay for this.

Thanks for your post. I will try it next week because I have much value of data on it and they have to be transfred to an extern harddisk that I'll buy this or next week.
Only something to know, I see in device manager a lot of usb controllers liste (4 usb controller and 4 usb root hub) in the Universal Serial Bus controller, where two of them are usb2 enhanced host controller and the rest are usb universal host controller.
Does it mean that Vista has detected only two USB2 controlleres?

T61 & Micro Dock USB port issues

I'm a remote worker and have a T61 and Micro Dock that had vista on it originally. Our company was sold and our IT group only supports XP and Dell units. They rolled me back to XP, but since then I have been having intermittent trouble with my dock since.
I have an external monitor, boot with the lid closed and wireless keyboard/mouse and speakers. When in the dock, the USB ports acitvate then turn off, so by the time I get my log in, startup screen, the USB ports are not working and I have to open the lid to activate my login. If I shut down, then undock, start, and shutdown and re-dock, it works.
Very confusing. I have updated the BIOS and updated the Lenovo System Update. It all worked ok under vista, but seems odd since rolled back. Have checked my power settings too. Seems like I'm missing something?
Would appreciate any ideas.

Maybe it isn't compatible w/Windows 7
It is. Do you have the latest version of iTunes installed on this PC? Is your PC a laptop or desktop?
Does the device appear to charge on your PC? Did it ever work previously on this PC?

USB Port Issues

I have a HP HDX16t model-X16T1200. I just recently upgraded from vista to windows 7. I updated all the drivers but i keep getting "this device can perform faster" prompt. I think this problem also has given me trouble with the webcam. The webcam doesn't work and also gives me errors.

Greetings Liebetrau88,
Try creating a new user account in windows.
This will create an environment thats almost like restoring to factory settings.
It could help solve the issue or help isoloate the issue more.
If you have tried updating the drivers for the usb ports, flash drive, and in BIOS then that flash drive might not be compatible/supported by your system.
Otherwise, the last option would be to back up your system and restore to default.
Try those options out and let us know how they work.

USB port issues (hub, EyeTV Hybrid, speakers)

Balky USB ports continue to be a problem with me. Not to get off subject, but I had a horrible time with my old iBook that one day decided it didn't like to recognize my iPod Shuffle.
Now I've got a new MBP that doesn't seem to want to play nice with my Kensington USB pocket hub, Altec Lansing XT1 speakers and, particularly, an EyeTV Hybrid that worked great at install and ever since has shown as No Device Found.
I've tried restarting, plugging in devices in various sequences, resetting PRAM and performing an exorcism. I can get the speakers to work, and the hub with some effort. But I can't get the EyeTV Hybrid to make an encore appearance to save my life.
Thoughts?

My USB hub does have external power, but the issue with the EyeTV Hybrid continues regardless of whether it is connected to the hub or directly to either of the computer's two USB ports.
I'm tempted to think I just need to replace the EyeTV unit, but I have had so many problems with Apple USB ports, I thought somebody out there might have found some solutions. They have been extraordinarily finicky about what they play nice with, it seems to me.

USB port issues when using iphone5

I have recently upgraded to an iphone 5 but whn I connect to my imac (intel/2009) I get error message up saying the usb port is being disabled as the device is drawing too much power. This means i cannot charge the phone from the imac nor connect to itunes. Has oneone else had this issue? can anyone suggest how I can resolve it.
cheers

I'm not sure how the issue can be resolved but I'm having the exact same problem when I try and charge my iPhone5 on both my macbook pro at home and at work. I have no other usb devices in use when this happens and I cannot find a way to rectify it so you're definitely not alone.

My usb port drivers are not working

This question was solved.
View Solution.

What did you plug into the usb port.
Have your tried multiple devices?
When was the last time they worked?
Try removing the drivers in device manager.
Then reboot and let them reinstall
If that fails the try a System Restore to previous date when they did work.
Here is how to do a System Restore

C655d-s5130 usb port issues.

OK this just happened suddenly I have a duel boot PC win7 ultimate and Ubuntu 11.10.
the USB ports work fine until I plug my phone into it via USB cable. as soon as I plug my phone in it will completely disable both USB ports. this happens in both windows and Linux.
I have excluded my phone or the USB cord as being the problem as the phone is recognised and works on our other Toshiba laptop and our Compaq desktop. I get no USB problems on those machines.
and just to clarify, both of the USB ports work perfectly with all devices I have tried with the exception of and up until I plug my phone into the computer. any help would be great. thanx!

ummm what exactly are you suggesting by "daisy chain"???
I have to question if that would be the issue as this is a sudden occurrence, I never had any problems before except.... wait... right before it started powering down the USB ports when I plug the phone in it started saying that my USB device had malfunctioned. I don't believe it actually had malfunctioned though. but I'm not a genius haha. hope that helps.
I hate to think that I can't use laptop for my phone as I'm kinda flash happy and I'd like to be able to reflash back to stock when necessary from my laptop rather than the desktop

Toshiba M70 USB ports issues...

Hi all, i have an m70 and all 4 USB ports are acting weird, my usb card reader, optical mouse, and any other thing i put in any of the ports they intermittantly work. The mouse and reader will light up but do nuthing but other times light up and work. Not sure what this is or if maybe its common? any input would be greatly appreciated!!!! thanks!!!

I have a similar problem with my Satellite L645D-S4033. I just got it yesterday and the two USB ports on the left work fine but the one on the right has a problem. When I plug a device in it says the device is not recognized. However, if I have the device plugged in when I start/restart the computer it works fine. I'm currently waiting for a call back from Toshiba Tech Support. Right now I'm doing a system recovery to see if that does anything.
