Weird Android USB issue
Since getting the update to 2.2.2, my Nexus 1 has started doing something very weird. When I plug it in to my laptop and mount the SD card in Windows, everything works fine. But anywhere from 1-20 minutes later, the phone suddenly unmounts itself (the android on the phone screen goes from orange to green). I'm generally in the middle of syncing music at that time. In iSyncr, it says something to the effect of "The SD card has disappeared!". If I'm just copying files in Windows, I suddenly get an I/O error.

This is a non-rooted, stock Nexus One running the stock Google OS, version 2.2.2/build FRG83G. Laptop is running WinXP SP3.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Hm, not at all. Have you tried a different cable? On other devices like my Nook, I have a connector that fits the cable loosely so it occasionally loses connection like this.

iSyncr Wifi is another option, albeit without solving the initial problem.

I've tried different cables and USB ports. It is most definitely a phone issue. To confirm, I took the SD card out and put it in a card reader. It is happily syncing now, and has been for a couple hours.

It all started after Google pushed the new OS...I will have to find a way to submit a bug report.

Yikes, good luck w/ bug reporting. You're probably better off doing a warranty replacement with HTC, or at least doing a full wipe and reload.
