[Q] USB Device Not Recognized - Surround General

I've been using the DFT rom V2 for a while now, had not conected my surround to the computer for about a week, now my device is not recognized by mi pc, not on flashing mode (three color stripes) nor while running, not even if i dont let it go to lockscreen. Already tried updating the USB drivers, which a could post if anybody needed them, nut i have them up to date... could some body help me please!!!!

You should try cleaning the USB connector (slot) with some kind of cleaning agent and maybe a soft brush to get rid of dust/dirt etc.
That worked for me the last time my device was not recognized. (I actually discovered this because I use an USB-hub with device-connection light indicators, and it would not light up [correctly] when plugging it in - meaning the connection was not very good)

HD not recognised on any PC

Hi Guys, hopefully someone can help me here it is driving me crazy - well, here is my issue.
Doesnt matter what PC I plug my HD into it doesnt get picked up, i looked in device manager and still nothing. Its like its not connected, but it shows on the phone that it is charging. And does charge.
Can someone please help?
Thanks!
Settings - Connection - USB to PC - uncheck 'enable advanced network functionality'
All that was there is ' Enable faster data synchronization '
No advanced network functionality. Im on Telstra NextG Network Australia with there crappy stock rom if that helps.
I'm looking at a stock Touch HD and you're right- they changed the name of the box. So uncheck 'enable faster data synchronization'.
I did but it is still not working.
I have also done a hard reset and restore to manufacturers default and still not working.
What kind of PC are you using? Is it XP? If so you need to download ActiveSync.
Using XP.. I have downloaded and installed Activesync. It used to be picked up on every pc and suddenly now it doesnt.
Opened Activesync ports in your firewall settings?
Yeah its all fine, its as though the PC doesnt even recognise it. Doesnt show up in Disk Management.
hi lucky
you're already the 3rd one with this problem.
if you plug-in the usb connector, is there a dialog popping up on your hd which let's you choose between synch or hd mode?
if not, welcome to the group of disapointed htc owners.
there is already a thread somewhere about this problem. i have exactly the same, but no one could help me until now.
at least i found a way to flash a rom. the usb connection was working for about 20 minutes. afterwards it broke down again...
try the following:
1. shut down hd
2. remove SD and Sim Card
3. plug in the usb cable
4. do a hard reset by holding vol up and vol down while you press the power button
5. confirm the hardware reset
6. when the hd is booting up again, it will do some kind of customization process. during this process active sync should come up on your pc. cancel the device setup in acive sync and wait until your hd is completely configured.
7. afterwards reconnect the usb cable and active sync should work for a while...
let me know if it helped. i'm still searching for a permanent solution for this problem...
Nope, didnt work at all.
Not even the choice to decide what I want to do pops up on the phone.
Do you think it could be a hardware fault?
I think it is a hardware fault because i did a SPL boot and instead of 'USB' showing in the white box "Serial" did.
It just seems wierd because it was working fine for 2 weeks and then it all the sudden stopped and I did no ROM flashing or anything.
Should I try reflashing my device through the SD card and see how I go from there?
did you try a different cable???
I have about 20 different USB -> mini USB and only about 2/3 of them work with phones !!!
Yeah ive tried all different cables, ive tried ones that work with my diamond but still dosent work with my hd.

Are you getting anything popping up in device manager when you plug it in, in other words does the list refresh like it has detected a new hardware device or is it completely silent? I have seen it a couple of times where a device gets stuck as being recognized as something else. If the list does scroll (responds to the HD being plugged in) do a screen shot of everything in DM then plug the HD in and compare the lists to see if it is showing up as something else. If so, delete the device then unplug and plug in the HD again and have it reinstall the driver.
Good luck,
Gordo
I did what you said Gordo, and it doesnt show up inDevice Manager. Its as though its not even plugged in but for some reason it still recharges off the USB.
I guess about the only other thing I can think of is to plug it in on another PC and see if that computer tries to load a driver. If it does then it is something strange with your computer. If it doesn't then there is something bad with the USB port on the HD (maybe).
Gordo
Yeah I tried that but still nothing, im sending it back to Telstra, since its within 14 days of me getting it I get a whole brand new one!
thanks for your help guys

[Q] sudden changes in the way the phone work please help!

Hi,
This might be a newbie issue but my HD2 was working well up until few days ago when I noticed that everytime I make a call instead of ringing normally it does it in speaker (hands free) mode what caught my attention since I didn't change any settings.
I'm inclined to think that it might be due to some corruption in the software since I didn't find any optios to revert this so I was thinking on doing a hard reset but...
The other issue I have is that I tried to connect it to two different computers (that it used to connect without problems) and it does not do it.
It does charge on the USB but neither PC's recognize that the phone is connected.
I tried 2 different cables on the 2 PC's without luck.
So again I'm now more convinced that it is a software problem.
Any idea how should I proceed so I don't loose any data????
Thanks,
Look up "stuck in car kit mode" see if it's the same symptoms.
I look into it thanks...
I looked it up,but is not exactly the same.
It's stuck on loud speaker yes but not in landscape mode, if I rotate the phone the screen works ok.
It also goes to sleep so they are not exactly the same
It just does not get recognized by the pc when I plug it on the USB.
I just get the charging light and the little plug simbol on top as you get when you plug to external power but the computers don't make the sound (or any sign of recognition) that normally comes when you plug any USB device to it.
Unless this is just the start of it...
Well, after reading all 12 (or so) pages on that thread and cleaning the heck of the micro usb, wigling the cable in every direction this morning I managed to connect the phone to the PC and get rid of the loud speaker, so even if the symptoms are not exactly the same looks like it heading in that direction.
Bummer...
I guess it's time to start looking for a new phone.

[Q] NOTE 3 problem with USB

Hi everyone i don't know if any of you guys experienced this problem before with the note 3 i bought the note 3 when i renewed my contract thinking it was a good phone good specs and the iphone was a bit too expensive for the low specs, well bought it got the smartwatch too all good for the first week it was fine and now it started to do this it won't connect to the pc via USB KIES won't find it tryed all sorts of soft/hard resets,when finally i managed to do a factory reset on the phone itself (which i struggled with because the screen would turn black and coloured lines would show) i did that and it was working afterwards .. lost all my contacts pictures etc which is kind of annoying after new years, and started from scratch did a back up this time with kies but today same thing ... won't connect through usb won t recognise the charger nothing and if i switch it off and then connect the usb it would start pulsing (vibrates slow without stopping with the screen black) additional coloured lines show from time to time.
then if i take the usb out and try starting the phone looks like nothings wrong i don't know what to do with it how to sort the problem out, also it hasn't been exposed to water or any other stuff that could cause damage!
new
now it says 'the dock is connected' when i plug the usb in and it charges but still the pc won't recognise it and kies says it doesn t recognise the device 'device not supported ' or something like that
if my phone would do that, i would think of:
1.faulty usb cable
2.faulty device
it should at least always recognize the charger and those lines and vibrating when the device is off aren´t normal.
i would try another cable if available or contact customer support for replacement.
doesn´t seem to be a software problem, how could that be when the device is off and doing weird things.
if its just about not connecting properly, check your adb drivers. open the device manager on your pc and under android device it should read samsung android adb interface.
feel free to correct me if i´m wrong (anybody).
Grab an older USB2 cable and see if that works. (plug goes in the right side of the socket) Other than that it seems to be hardware - replacement time.
Yep, sounds like you got a lemon... Unfortunately it happens...

Yotaphone 2 - Broken LCD screen - Can't pass Setup Wizard and use phone...

Hi,
I broke my LCD display a couple of months ago still, I managed to use the phone with the epaper display and eventually reinstall it without clearly writing down the exact procedure (with Lolipop)
Today, as my Marshmallow update freezed, I had to wipe all, thinking well I could easily find the steps to start the phone again.
The only problem remains that Setup Wizard wants us to use the LCD display, and I can't.
The last time I managed to use screen mirroring on Windows, with androidscreencast-0_3_1.jnlp, which is dicontinued.
To that extend, I allowed USB debugging (three lines to add) on system/build.prop and default.prop and copied a file from my computer (adbkeys.pub) to a certain folder in the device, to allow my PC to operate on the cellphone
But that last step doesn't work anymore.
I can see a dialog briefly popping up on the yotaphone, prompting me to allow the computer for debugging, but I can't click.
Droid Explorer tells me that this yotaphone is not allowed in $Vendor (or so on, I can't remember well).
So I managed to authorize the screen mirroring before, to start the phone, but I can't right now, although I found a new app, androidscreencast-0.0.10s-executable.jar.
I would have to copy adbkeys.pub to data/misc/adb/adb_keys, but as of today, that directory doesn't exist.
Can somebody please help me with that?
Thanks,
Hi,
I solved a similar situation by plugging a mouse to the phone using a usb to micro USB adapter (also called USB OTG adapter).

Thank you for answering. And what do it do to plug a mouse?
I've made it : the phone starts again.
If anyone is interested, I'll tell the trick for a broken front screen like mine.
Now I'm looking forward to make an image backup of it as it is very fresh if it can save me or others !
And I need advices for that?
Hi!!!
I have the sale problem
How did you bypass the wizzard???
hi. how do you bypass setup wizard? i had mine reset due to stuck. before im using only back screen. please help!
My front screen also stopped working all of a sudden without me doing anything. I was able to use the eInk so I did a factory reset. Now however I'm stuck since I can't boot the phone without a working front screen. I was wondering if a software issue stops the front screen from working and if there is a way to check/fix it.

Weird issues after Nougat.... No USB data connection

So I've been having this odd issue I've been dragging for a while now since I think it's a lost cause, but maybe someone can help me here.
Way back when Nougat was rolling out I waited for several months but my device (XT1575 - not rooted or unlocked) wouldn't get the update notification.
So I looked in here and there were several easy guides to apply the OTA update via recovery manually, so I did so and it worked just fine.
After a couple of days, I noticed an odd thing where I didn't get notifications immediately and my wifi connection was like not on all the time if the screen was off... the second I turn on the screen, notifications start popping up so much that it's a clear sign some of them were just not getting received. (I don't have any power saver mode/app enabled and my 2nd phone works on the same wifi and is working fine).
Also, when I tried connecting the phone to my PC, it wouldn't recognize it anymore... quick-charge and USB-OTG are also not working at all (flash drives with a light will just blink once when inserted and then just stop working).
I took the phone apart, the USB connector looks brand new and is very sturdy, no broken solder points, dust or dirt anywhere.
I also used a multimeter to check and all contact points in the USB port have a good continuity connection to their contact points on the board.
Any ideas? I would love to unlock it and try to solve the wifi connection thing with a new/fresh ROM, but with no USB, I'm stuck :/

You said your flash drives were't working right? Then it's probably the motherboard on your computer or it's missing the correct drivers. Try testing the phone on another computer you can go to a local library if you can't use someone else's computer. Also go into your notification settings and make sure do not disturb is off and look at "when device is locked" and make sure it's set to show all notification content.

I said the flash drives weren't working with USB-OTG (with the phone), not the PC... the flash drives are A-OK on the PC.
The Motorola drivers are the latest from Motorola and they manage to detect my Moto G2 without any issues.
I also checked the Moto X on two other PCs... neither the phone nor the PCs are detecting anything as being connected, apart for the phone getting a charge.
In the notification settings, in "On the lock screen" it's set to "Show all notification content".
One more thing I researched is the USB port pins... apparently, for the phone to detect a regular wall charger the DATA+ and DATA- pins are supposed to be shorted (connected together) via the charger.... if it's connected to a PC/smart device the pins are not supposed to be shorted.
I checked with several chargers and with all of them the phone displays (in the battery menu) that it's "Charging over USB" (PC) when it should have displayed "Charging on AC"... meaning that it doesn't even detect the short that the DATA pins are supposed to have.
