So, how did you do it in the mini s?

I would guess, cutting the +5V wire from USB would help. If you don't want to cut your cable, buy an USB extension cord an cut off pin 1 from the female plug or mask it with tape.

I don't get it, why don't you want it to charge when plugged into the usb?

Registry
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\usbfndrv
EnableUsbCharging set 1 to 0
i use ist as umts modem on my laptop when i using the train,
und the usb loading suck down my laptop very fast

so you have to disable, restart, then enable, and restart?

Charging without Sync
I would like to do the opposite.
i.e. Charge but not sync.
Anyone know whether it is possible to add a switch to allow a sync when required only?
My phone is plugged in all the time at work however active sync keeps switching on the device. i just what to sync at the end of the day.

Just disable usb in File->Connection Settings

Disable activesync (options --> disable USB loading). It will show in grey color in the system tray.

Re: Charging without Sync
I am very interested in charging the battery sometimes without sync, how can I do that ?
You said
"

- or Disable ActiveSync (options --> disable USB loading). It will show in grey color in the system tray.
"
but where do you do that ?? there is not such options in ActiveSync on the PocketPC.

ActiveSync on the desktop

But if I disable USB charging on my Hermes, would it still charge with the normal charger??
Thanks
Alex

Anyone tried doing either Regedit mod or cutting pin 1?
I can't find: Registry "HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\usbfndrv" on my device.
Cutting pin 1 does not work, in fact PC can't detect PPC when pin 1's cut.

I can't find in my TyTN the registry key "usbfndrv"

Still can't get it to work.

Any progress?
We have only recently started developing for the Hermes and we need to stop it charging while we are communicating with it over USB.
It appears you have to supply 5V before you can communicate over USB (ActiveSync). This rules out cutting the cable.
The registry hack sounds ideal but there doesn't appear to be such an entry on our device.
It appears to stop charging when the device is turned off so we should be able to enable and disable charging with software.
Did anyone have any more suggestions?

You can try to create the registry key and see if it works.

USB Problems (newbie) Pls help me out (progress...please take a look)

Hi peepz. first time posting,
Now to the point....
My 8525 for no good reason is no longer seen by my PC. When hooked up via USB, I still get the "charging" icon on the battery...but the machine cant see it in device manager as well as active sync. The only thing I have done recently is install TomTom6 and then uninstall it. I'm hoping its not the hardware. (i installed TomTom via the SD card). I must have blew away a driver or something.
Is there a .cab or a fix out there for this?
Running
WM5
Rom ver. 2.15.502.3
radio. 1.40.30.00
I'm at a loss. I've already looked at the USB to PC settings and gone threw all the configurations with no results.
Be Kind! I'm a newbe and need help.
~ThumB

have you checked your deviceid? it might have been changed. if it has just change it back to what you have had before you had any problems.
you can try deleting your existing partnership and create a new one.
notice you still have wm5. you might want to consider wm6. there is a lot of functional and stable cooke ROM's laying around here..

No its not the partnership. I'ts not detected at all! I've tried that. The problem is not with active sync, its with the USB port. It dont know its even there. I get no errors...I get nothing at all.....
I was looking to upgrade tonight to WM6.....If there is a way to upgrade from the SDcard, I'd do that. I've tried it actually. but it just tels me its not a valid PPC app. (RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3_1_.57.502.1_6275_1.48.00.00_108-ATT-MR3_Ship.exe)
The phone works fine otherwise....just wont show up!
Also, I've un-installed EVERYTHING on the PPC. Its backed up so I can blow it away anytime.

is the "enable advance network functionality" option disabled in your USB to PC setting?

Yes it's on.
I'm really thinking its a driver or a file that was overwritten that controles the USB port. Selecting the "enable advance " key i think is just not functioning.
Is there a way to re-install the OS (either WM5 or WM6 from the SD card without having "hardSPL" installed?

A hard reset will likely sort this. By the way, I would NOT enable the advance functionality.
Mike

It's possible you could do it without a hard reset - it sounds like something has gone wrong with your notification list...have a search on here or in the wiki about putting it back - can't remember exactly what it is but if you can find it, it might save you rebuilding.
Smiffy.

I know this may sound strange, but are you using the same USB cable that you always have?
Not all mini USB cables are made equal. I ordered some 5pin mini USB cables from Triplite that would charge my 8525 but would not connect to active sync on Vista. (Have not tried XP) If I switched to another mini USB everything worked as expected.
I just noticed this two days ago and have only had my device for a week, so I am by NO means an expert.

OK guys....still at a loss. I have done 2 hard resets and still no USB connectivity. Also, I have checked to see if my headphones still work....they do. Also, It does still charge the battery when plugged into the PC and with the actual AC charger. Lastly, I have noticed that my charging LED never goes green like it would when fully charged. I'll leave it for another hour to see if I'm just being impatient.
I'm starting to think that somehow its a hardware issue. Like the USB has gone partially bad.....if thats possible to go "half" bad.
Any other ideas??? Also, is there a way I can upgrade to WM6 via SDcard? And is there a utility that will allow me to install programs without activesync? (IE: not a valid PPC application) Then I could at least try and figure out how to activesync via wireless.

I assume you did not change any active sync settings on the PC.
Worth a check (if you have not already) that for example, the "allow usb connections box is ticked and connect is automatic.
You can try deleting any existing ppc relationship and in the end you could try uninstalling and re-installing AS (if you have not already been through that!)
EDIT: forgot to mention: ensure you do not have any firewalls/security running on PC just as a check - this can block ASync.

Yup. Already un-installed and re-installed ActiveSync and yes...checked the "allow usb" box. As i stated before. Active Sync is the least of the problems. The device wont show up on the computer....so activesync will never find it.
I have checked on 3 PC's thus far and with different cables.
I have deleted the relationship and all that as well, but thats not the root of the issue.
Also, I was just impatient and the charging light finally turned green.....so thats working fine as well.....It's a mystery!

Certainly is. Sounding more like a hardware issue. Have you got another cable around to try. Or even holding the connector end with light pressure at different angles at the device end in case there is a loose connection in the socket or at the device m/board.

yah i've tried different cables and tweaking it to the side and such. no dice.
Basically, I guess the USB port on my phone is now nothing more then a charger....
What is the possibility of this being a KITL Transport problem? (possibly talking out my ass)
~ThumB

Just try putting it into bootloader mode (the three colour screen, accessed by holding power buttonon right side, ok button on left side (below scroller) and pressing reset button in the bottom)
Once you're there, it will say serial on the bottom unless it's plugged into a USB port when it should change to "USB"
This will definitely rule out any software issue on the phone...
HTH
Smiffy.

OK two things...One PROMISING!
First I booted into Bootloader mode and it states "serial" regardless of if its plugged in to USB or not.
Second, I booted into KITL Mode and hit the left OK button. Under "Select KITL Transport", USB KITL comes up. When I did this, it showed up on my PC's Device manager. But once I softboot back into WM5, It does not come up again. So I'm thinking it was changed but I dont know how to save the setting. How do I keep the settings???

Progress................
So people... Here's where i'm at...
I Boot into KITL and select the OK button on the left side. It comes up with "USB KITL" and shows up on the PC in Device Manager. But it just hangs there in KITL mode. If i softboot, it looses the setting.
If i select the PPT button while in KITL Mode, it selects "ETH KITL" and then boots into WM5 and does NOT show up on the PC.
Please peeps.....any help will.....well.....help.
My Problem lies in KITL!!!

[Q] USB Connection issues with Mac?

Is anyone with a mac having problems connecting to the Tab with their mac? I downloaded the Android File Transfer Utility from google but it crashes every time I connect it.

I'm having the same problem. Currently i'm transfering files using micro sd cards and ftp. Though it's not ideal. I hope some devs can fix this :/

Ok so at least it's not a hardware problem for me.. I'm guessing it has to do with Acer's somewhat proprietary USB sync bloatware on the the device..

Why they didn't use mass storage or at least have an option for it is beyond me. Still, the interface and snappiness is pretty damn sweet. Gonna wait to see over the next 43 days how the reviews and my experience with the Iconia compare to the Asus. So far I'm leaning to keep the Acer.

The reason Honeycomb uses MTP over mass storage is so that both your computer and the tablet can access the storage simultaneously.
Remember that official Froyo APPS2SD is quite limited due to the storage being dismounted from the device when attached is USB mass storage mode.
Regards,
Dave

Ok, so I just uninstalled the acer sync app (read bloatware) off of my Tab and will do some testing to see if it has any effect will Mac syncing. Hopefully that will be the problem and I can get back to work on my dev stuff.
*update* no change

I am on win xp and having minor usb issues. i see no way of "safely" pulling out the usb cable. I am connecting teh acer to a usb hub and every time i reconnect i need to unplug he hub and plug it back in for the device to be recognized. works fin3e after that.

Well I'm just going to have to return this thing. I REALLY love it.. but without USB support it's useless to me. Acer support doesn't even recognize it as a problem. What makes things worse is that I paid for it with a debit card at best buy.. so it'll take 10 BUSINESS DAYS to get a CHECK from Best Buy.
Maybe I'll just sell on ebay or something

Having the same issue!!
TrevFMT: I saw your question to google about it!
The thing that sucks is that it was working fine for me a couple days ago (4/32 4/3); and now the Android File Transfer application tries to open automatically when I connect the Acer to my mac via USB, but keeps crashing before it can fully launch.
The USB connection is important to me as well.
I'm thinking it's something strange with the OS; perhaps I made a change I'm not aware of after downloading some apps. I downloaded File Station, but I deleted it today when I started having the issue with Android File Transfer app.
If anyone can figure this out it would be much appreciated!!

OK, I have some good news and some bad news!
Good news:
I got the Android File Transfer app to launch and work correctly!
Bad news:
I had to "reset the software back to factory default configurations"; in other words, I had to loose all the sweetening I did to my A500 because I couldn't single out and identify what actually caused the problem in the first place.
Anyway, I've started over and hopefully the forthcoming updates to the OS will offer a fix.
*UPDATE*
For me, the problem appears to have something to do with the 4GB microSDHC card (SanDisk) I purchased this morning. After inserting the card, I can no longer get the Android File Transfer app to launch on my mac when I connect the A500 to it via USB -it just crashes. Even if I remove the card and try to connect again, it still crashes. But when I "reset the software back to factory default configurations" again, I can connect the A500 to the mac and the Android File Transfer app launches without any problems. So, it appears that the card does something to the OS.
Perhaps someone who knows the OS better than I do can figure out why this happens ...

Workaround
Macs don't natively support the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP), i.e. what Honeycomb is now using. Google's file transfer app isn't yet ready for prime time. Until they fix it, there is a open source workaround application called XNJB that works fine.

LOL...nice graph. Just tryin' to help the Apple fan boys out you know
Kidding aside, I am a software developer by trade (mainly .NET). I design/build enterprise level applications for fortune 500 companies. I also use Linux, OSX, Android, and I have an iPhone. I used to think the same thing about Apple after 15 years of Windows and Linux, but OSX is actually a really nice POSIX-compatible OS with BSD roots. I grew up programming on 8088s, C64's and Apple II's in the 80's. I just have a general love of OS's and computing in general...hence my nickname "motley".
I use a Mac at home and run VMWare Fusion so I can run Ubuntu and Windows as VMs and have their applications provided seamlessly all on one desktop. My favorite OS is Linux though, I have to admit.

The same thing happened with me using both microsd and a USB ext hd. XNJB works just fine though.

its not a mass storage right?how do i eject it safely?

I have a Macbook Pro and really, I've given up on actually plugging it in to a USB port. Honestly, I've found it more reliable to use a flash drive for transfer or (even more interesting) my NTFS external hard drive. I use my 1TB Toshiba external hard drive to transfer all kinds of movies and such to the tablet.
Now if this didn't have a full USB port, we'd have issues, but as it's the only one currently available* with Honeycomb and full USB port built into the tablet itself (not to mention rooted NTFS support), I could not even dream of returning this tablet.
*only one available as far as I know

Just me or does Epic 4G + Samsung Driver 1.3.800 + Windows 7 (64-bit) = Massive fail?

So I recently switched from Windows 7 (32-bit) to Windows 7 (64-bit) because I upgraded my memory to more than 4GB and ever since I've been unable to reliably connect to my Epic 4G through adb. Before the upgrade I had no issues with connectivity and even creating a VM (Windows 7 (32-bit)) on the same machine connects to the phone ok. Have been searching for a solution for a while but haven't come across anything. The phone appears to connect ok in Win 7/64 but quickly goes offline.
Other android devices I own are working fine in Win 7/64 so I'm wondering if I'm just missing something or if the Samsung drivers have an issue with Win 7/64. Thanks in advance for any info...

did u try DL drivers again ? = worked 4 me when I went from 32 to 64 myself

I let Windows Update update my drivers and they work great on my 64 bit Gateway.

The Win 7/64 was a clean install. However I have tried uninstalling all the devices from the device manager, rebooting, re-installing the Samsung exe, rebooting again and connecting the phone. Have also tried using USBDeview to remove any left over registry entries and what not.

Yeah. I plugged in the phone with USB debugging on, hit connect usb on phone and then went into Device Manager and found Samsung Android under USB. Hit update driver from Windows Update. Takes over 30 minutes to get them all.

Grrr... It still works off and on. Certainly not as reliable as my Win 7/32 laptop (or VM). Do you guys with working connections have to retry things often and/or disconnect/reconnect?
This is the kind of stuff I get:
Code:
C:\Users\ccharlton>adb shell
$ exit
exit
C:\Users\ccharlton>adb shell
$ exit
exit
C:\Users\ccharlton>adb shell
The last 'adb shell' command just hangs as does everything else until I dis/reconnect (ie: adb logcat). I can successfully repeat the same commands all day long on my Win 7/32 laptop/VM so I'm not sure...

Have you tried a different cable than the stock Samsung cable?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Yup, bad cable. Get a heavy duty Blackberry or Palm Pre cable.

I went through the same thing on win 7 64 on my buddies pc and we tried literally everything. He ended up swapping his motherboard at one point and low and behold it worked fine... I honestly think that microusb is so touchy that certain USB busses have compatibility/power issues, especially with non standard applications like odin or adb commands of any kind. On my PC I can only use my onboard USB ports. The ones on the front of my PC absolutely will not make it through a oneclickroot or Odin, yet I can plug into them and transfer data and charge my phone no prob. Very frustrating.

getting win7 to detect + load drivers for your samsung device is a bit trial/error, where the PC auto detecting + loading drivers part usually works out fine but the SDcard file won't mount (even after tapping 'USB connected/Mount') .......have experienced a conflict where the drivers were obviously installed yet MyComputer would not show the device as an external drive (to the mounted SDfile in the Epic)........in that instance have instead Odin'd the device and flashed a ROM (proving the usb cable was ok)........thereafter have been able to run SWUpdater --again, using the supplied samsung usb cable-- or else mount the SD card direct to the win7 and work w/ the SD file in MyComputer, something that it had not allowed me initially to do.
Edit: was on the PC last night (win7professional 64 bit) and experienced this very issue again , the external card on the device mounted (w/ PC notification beep), but not viewable as external drive.......tried changing various cables, + finally re-booted both the PC + Epic (was not going to ODIN as i did last time w/ this issue), and FINALLY the D: drive appeared!.............very likely (as others on this thread have suggested) the cable is the culprit, what else could it be?

Ya I'm at a loss here...
- All three USB cables I have work fine w/ another laptop (Win 7/32), on the same laptop while redirected to a VM (Win 7/32, different system drivers since it's a VM), and in the past on the same laptop when it was Win 7/32...
- I get connected for a brief period of time if I connect/reconnect (it's a crap shoot and honestly something like 'adb logcat' will run forever [when it works] as long as I don't disconnect)
So I'm not really sure what the issue is as there as so many potential targets. Very frustrating...

I have trouble now and again where i get a lockup when transfering files(using winxp) to my epic and explorer crashes.
I cross my fingers whenever im transfering large files. Im also using the latest samsung driver off thier site.
Ive also used many different types and quality of cables and all of them act the same. Bleh

Had that problem with stock cable. I use my kindle micro usb cable and it works fine.

[Q] USB 3.0 Issues...

ok i seem to be the only person having this problem, im not sure if its my computer (i have never used the usb 3.0 on it before), the phone or the cable (brand new).
When i connect my phone via the usb 3.0 i get a notification message popup on my computer tell me that the device can perform faster if plugged into a super speed usb 3.0 port.
Problem is i have tried all of the usb 3.0 ports and still the same message, i checked in device manager and it says it is plugged into a usb 2.0 port which it isn't and its only charging at 98ma.
How do i get the usb 3.0 to work?

I sit in a similair boat. I don't get the option for USB 3.0 either

No one have any help with this? I have been trying to solve it for about a month now, I could try a different cable maybe a genuine samsung one but I cannot find them anywhere.

I've done some testing on the speed differences between file transfers on USB 2 and 3 and the difference seemed really minimal (yes, I had the correct options set on the phone). Has anyone else compared speeds?

Yes I know about the speeds, but please if you could refrain from taking this off topic as I really need help with this issue.

Hmm, when I connect phone with USB 3.0 cable (tested) in my USB 3.0 port on PC nothing apeared in notification bar except info about charging current (450mA) from Galaxy Chargin Current!! Strange....
EDIT: I changed port on PC and notification finally showed, thanks for help!
Cheers

Can you give further details on what you had to do to resolve. I am experiencing this issue and I have tried.....EVERYTHING!!!
I have a Windows 8.1 machine 64-bit, and have USB3 plugged from the motherboard. I have a USB3 pen drive which operates at superspeed without issue (so I know the USB hub, etc is in good shape). I also have a USB 3 card which is a PCI express and have tried connecting this to a Windows 7 64-bit machine and I receive the same results. I have 2 cables and both give the same result. So I am stuck.
On both machines it reports that the device can operate quicker which would suggest Windows knows that this is a USB 3 device. Any ideas how to obtain the USB 3 option on the phone?
