I have an A54 now for less than a year that has been great so far. But about 2-3 weeks ago, I had a strange situation pop up with the USB port.
I keep a cord permanently in my car for android auto. And for over a year it worked flawlessly, but then out of the blue I get the message that the cord is not correctly connected and to try a new cord. I gathered all of my cords and tried them all - close t o20 of them - and I get the same message. What are the odds that all 20 cords are not compatible?
I also use a SD card reader that I plug into the USB charging port and pull images from a game cam. At the same time as the problem above, I can no longer get the A54 to recognize this card reader. it works fine on my tablet still.
And the cord that has sat at my bedside for years without issue, now is finicky when you plug it in and I get the Samsung warning that I need to make sure that the cord and charger are plugged in correctly and I should try a new cord. This is the same cord and charger I have used for years.
these issues all happen on any cord and charging brick combo I use - oem, aftermarket, built into car, or any other. So it makes me think that there is a problem with the phone itself. Was there an update that scrambled the USB port settings for car connectivity and charging? What options do I have? Very frustrated...

Robin999 and OmegaMutant - I have tried both of these suggested fixes with no resolution. I have googled the problem extensively to no avail.
