Have you seen this issue with other devices?

Is it a compatible device?

Sounds on the surface like a device issue as opposed to the truck.

Try different cables, different devices, etc.

Has the phone been updated ? Is the socket for the USB secure ? Maybe a loose /bent pin ? If you do figure it out please update us. So far I have no issue with my I Phone 7 but you never know!

This has happened on occasion with my hard drive I keep connected. Just unplug and plug back in and it starts reading again.
