Connecting to usb issues adb etc.. - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

moderator please close thread no-longer a need for it!!
I searched and found some similiar issues on other devices ,but my problem is i have issue connecting to usb with debugging on- i cant use adb or with debugging off- cant connect to the sdcard from usb either .All the drivers are installed and all the files are installed that are needed it is weird i can connect with my g2 and my desire but i cant connect to my glacier,it used to work fine ,i didnt change anything ,My rom is the same the only thing i might have done was changed radio and i tried out pimp my rom but i also cant connect via fastboot either.. Any ideas???I am on mimicry..
could it be an issue with 4ext??it isnt the usb cord or the drivers..When i plug it in my setcpu profile sees it as charging but there is nothing HOWEVER i can connect via wifi to adb but not to familiar with that..again your input would be apreciated!!

I'm not on mimicry so forgive me. Is there a setting for the default behavior when plugging in USB?

The only thing i find is pretty much like all the rest- is in developer option debugging on and off ,I will look again a bit more thoroughly ,i am wondering if pimp my rom caused this issue .i was reluctant to use it since my rom was very fast and stable ..But with all the high praise about it i decided to give it a go.there wasnt any setting in there that looks like it would of caused an issue but i restored a back up and still doesn't work,thats why i am wondering if it has anything to do with 4ext since fastboot doesn't recognize the usb either.

It would only be 4ext if it was an issue in recovery, I'd think.
Hmm, I hope your usb port didn't take a dump.

You should be able to connect from boot loader with SDK at all times unles you have problems with drivers or java version is incorrect on your pc using windows

I think my pins for charging are okay but the board that actually houses the pins looks like it is cracked,so maybe the pins for power are okay but the data pins are bad!

yah I am able to use command adb connect 192.168.xxx.xxx:5555 and coonect with adb commands fine .so it is bad usb port
thanx I was trying to use that smali patch script but that requires a usb connection unless i can ask pepsicko to modify his script to allow wireless connections so i can connect that way or i will have to figure out another way i just hope i never need to use fastboot in recovery because i will be screwed

Sorry about your usb port

[Q] Galaxy 3 - Win7 x64 - no ADB connect

Hi all,
I'm using HTC HD2 running NAND Android. I tried many builds, and even I can compile "my clone" of released build before flashing. I use ADB and Droid Explorer fluently.
So ... now my friend come with Galaxy 3. I want to help him with few issues. First I wanna to look inside, if I can see any problems. But ... I'm NOT able to have ADB connect.
The comp is Win 7 machine 64bit. With HD2 works well. With Samsung we tried several driver versions. I can have valid Samsung devices in Device manager, but ADB does not connect.
Is here, or there any guide, how to make it communicate?
thanks
PS. I tried the "search", but either the answer is not here, or I'm blind

[DEV] Hyperterminal to run via USB to Serial cable.

I am after ahyperterminal like program to run via USB to serial cable. It may exist already or if some one is interested in developing just let me know and we can talk.

would also love this.
+1 for this idea.
This would be sick! But is the [App] flag appropriate?
Yeah not to sure about the app flag thing, i am a bit of a noob, so wasnt sure what to put.
I got my USB Serial Device working yesterday.
I use screen as terminal emulation. I posted a short howto on http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/19724-serial-terminal-app/page__view__findpost__p__215393
If you get you usb->tty device working with your kernel this should work your device too.
sounds like an opportunity for someone to make an APK/driver with...
Hopefully it wont get flagged to the app section since it is development related, but back on this topic, It would be awesome to be able to do that, I have a few usb -> serial adapters that could be used
Thanks derpeter. Will give that a go.
Should I change the tag to [DEV]?

It is really good idea.
Yes, change tag to DEV and this thread could stay here but it will should have something related to development , if it will become another useless chat plenty of crap, trolls and flaming posts I will move /close immediately.

Where did you install 1.19? The busybox installer app from the market installs it but it still does not have microcom in it. /system/xbin/busybox microcom gives me a "applet not found" error
Update: Ignore this, apparently the following busybox installer's v1.19 has microcom:

Does it have usb-serial drivers in it to connect a usb to rs232 converter? I think module name should be something like ftdi_sio.ko

Yeah, I'm running into the same problem.
What Rom are you running, and does it only happen under certain conditions?
I'm running
LiquidSmooth Rom (4.2.2 - It seems super stable, only 2 total problems with it)
CodeFireX .62 or .64, I don't remember
NOS Tweak Package v0.4.5_r1 (was having same problems before this; it actually improved my battery life somehow )
HTC MyTouch 4g/Glacier (Obviously, since I'm posting here, but I figured I'd say so just in case)
Anyways, the problem I'm running into is that I can't get the backlight to stay off after locking the phone.
I lock it, then after ~7seconds the backlight comes back on.
Also, this has happened on each 4.2.x rom I've tried
I read somewhere that messing with the settings/app killers can help, but no change from that. I've also tried setting my backlight to all the way off, as well as full, and the brightness doesn't change while the screen is off.
I can try to make a LogCat of it later, though.

Clockwork v5.something
It's not a flashable zip though, you have to install it from the terminal emulator

Ehh, I am too really - everyone's gotta start somewhere though!
Anyways, what it means is that you can't just take the nos_whatever.zip file and flash it from the recovery, you have to actually open the app called Terminal Emulator (can be found on the market, needs root) and install it from there.
The instructions on how are all in the readme inside the .zip file, just follow those and you'll be fine.
What do you mean your phone got stuck?

I was having the same 2 issues beforehand (Backlight coming on while the phone is locked, and cell signal dropping after I miss a call until I turn airplane mode on->off)
Also, I noticed that at least in my case my phone seems much less likely to turn the backlight back on if I'm not doing anything in the background such as listening to music. I'm pretty sure that's only been working today though, not sure why...

Ok, I may do just that. Will backing up and restoring what I have with TitaniumBackup break anything, so I don't have to reinstall everything?
Also, what're the advantages of 4ext recovery over clockwork?
Thanks!

No shouldn't break anything
And install 4ext before you reinstall just download 4ext recovery controlled.apk and flash it with that app very easy and the u.I is better

Hmm, it looks interesting - and having a touch recovery would help remove a major pain in the rear - but I'm completely broke and I can't seem to find the list of differences between the paid controller version and the free updater; would you still recommend the free version?
Yeah I'm using the free version.....PS put the name.apk into Google and u get any app

I'll be getting a little bit of money soon, so I'll just buy it when that comes in.
Anyways, I just did a full system wipe (each of CWM's wipes, as well as the DarkUnicorn wipe script ((since it was on my SdCard already)) but I'm still having the backlight issue.
Haven't even installed a single app yet; still trying to connect to the store to get TitaniumBackup.
Any other ideas?
PS) Still planning on making a LogCat, not sure if it'll help though

Also, back on the topic of this thread, are there any fixes for 4.2 roms turning the backlight back on after being locked?
It's a huge battery drain, and my biggest problem at the moment; any ideas would be most appreciated
lol actually I found out the problem. After I extracted it, ES File Explorer made a folder on my sdcard called "sdcard" with the install file in it. And I was stupid and ignored the fact that it should be on the root of the sdcard. Whoops lol.

Well at least it was an easy fix once you figured it out!
Anyways, I'm still having problems with the backlight staying on, but I should be able to provide that LogCat today at some point.

[Q] Using the SGY as target with Eclipse

Is anyone using the Galaxy Y as a target device when using Eclipse for development? I'm having difficulties in getting the device manager to recognise that the SGY is connected, possibly because of the Broadcomm drivers. If you have managed to get it working, are you running a stock ROM or have you upgraded, and if so, what to?

there is nothing broadcom related to it. just turn on usb debugging in your phone. install kies or samsung usb drivers or a software called pdanet,then eclipse will detect ur phone. i have been using mine sgy as a test phone in mine initial days of app development
