I can't usb-to-usb charge the phone battery either, it says it doesn't get enough power (but normal wall socket to usb charger works np).

You're lucky to get help from Woody14619, someone who knows what he is about.
I hope the problem is the cable or the specific port on the PC -- they don't always work well. You could try a different PC.
Getting files via wifi shouldn't be all that bad. You might see if you can find a way of doing that which works better for you.

The fact that the normal wall charger works is proof that you don't have the usb disconnect problem
So the next step is to try to clean the usb port. I poked around with a paperclip and removed some dirt, but that didn't help.
And I guess there's no chance that this could be some software issue? Any way to diagnose that?
My best guess is to find a proper FTP program, upload the files to my net folder and then download them to whatever computer I use.
I suppose I could somehow set up file transfer between a (Windows) PC and the phone over WLAN?
I have this strange USB problem with my N900. I consulted my N900-owning friends but none of them had the same, and searching the forum didn't help either, so I opened a new thread. Just point me to the old one if this has been discussed before.
My problem is, whenever I plug my phone to PC with the USB cord, it thinks it connects, but the PC disagrees. The phone detects the cable and I can select mass storage or PC Suite, and it says it connects OK, but I get no mass storage icons or PC Suite connectivity on any computer. Device manager says unknown USB device, and some versions of Windows say the device is in faulty mode or whatever ("vikatilassa" in Finnish). I can't usb-to-usb charge the phone battery either, it says it doesn't get enough power (but normal wall socket to usb charger works np).
Sending files over wifi is a pain in the *** and I'd really like to get the mass storage mode working. Any ideas what might be wrong? I have no idea where to even begin to solve this. I generally don't tinker with the phone much. I've installed a few apps but none of them relate to the usb port in any way.
