Anyone having trouble with the USB connection? It seems to drop easily. It doesn't like a USB hub and it only seems to work with the supplied USB cable. But even then it's very touchy.
And even the supplied cable doesn't plug all the way in into the USB input. The plug is very loose and shaky in there.
They should have spent a few more pennies and at least put in a USB mini connection.
*Maybe this is why they're getting rid of a lot of the early units at bargain discounts.....
Yes, I've also found it to be picky with USB cables. I initially tried it with this Monoprice one, which is usually the best for charging and file transfer with my phone: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=103&cp_id=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=5457&seq=1&format=2
It kept failing as you describe - the file transfer would abruptly end and then unit would power down.
Then I tried it with this cable I bought to use with my USB battery, and the connection is solid every time: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003YKX6WC/ref=twister_B0089W5Q1O?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I have not found the plug to be loose though - mine is pretty tight.
Thanks, I'll check out that cable.
