Moto G Stylus 5G 2023 - USB device not recognized
Hi!
I now get, since a couple of days, "USB device not recognized" when I plug in my Moto G Stylus 5G 2023 regardless of cable, USB port I use, etc...
I was pretty sure it would not do much but I even resinstalled the Winblows drivers...
I believe this is the second time my phone does that, the first time it came back by itself.
I tried blowing air, cleaning with a wooden toothpick, etc... the phone USB port.
I even tried some of the reset options.
The phone can definitely still be recharged but it does not want to transfer data or application (I have started doing some Android apps) through the USB port.
Apart from changing the phone, anything else I could try.
I really like the possibility of adding a SD card to my phone and I think the Motorola are the or one of the rare brands that still allow it which is why my last two phones were Moto G Styluses (different versions).
I started looking at replacement phones but neither my current mobile provider or any of the others around here have any deals on Moto G Stylus and both the 2025 and 2026 seem to be overpriced at their current price and if they put ads on those like they started doing apparently that's pretty much a deal breaker...
Thank you!
