USB connection problem

[viper-]

Well, the issues with this thing are coming in hard and fast now that they've been in use for a couple of months...

2 of my Pro's are having some severe USB connection issues. When connected and ActiveSync on, the USB connection drops out and reconnects every couple of seconds. This goes on until you disconnect the device - causing it to play the USB connection and disconnection sounds constantly.

I think this may be a cable issue, as I tried a non-palm branded USB cable that I got from some chinese guy on ebay and couldnt reproduce the problem on my computer.

Any thoughts? Anyone else had this?

Did you do a hard reset recently. I've had that happen after a hard reset, when the phone was trying to install ActiveSync to the PC & couldn't because there was already an installed version. If that's the case, go to Settings -> System tab -> PC Setup. There are two options: "Setup My PC" & "Synchronize". Make sure it's set to "Synchronize". That should fix it. If not, then I'm not sure what you're experiencing.
