[Q] PC doesn't recognize my htc hero - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I connect my Hero to my computer, i get USB charging only,nothing else happening.My SD card work properly,I tried even factory data reset,problem is still here.My hero running original HTC FOTA 2.1,and I donĀ“t know what to do.Anyone with the same problem?

Is ur Rom a CM based?

Just to clear things out..
When phone is connected to USB is there a USB icon on notification bar at the top of screen?
When you drag down the notification page and tap on "USB connected" does it not offer you a choice to mount the card via USB?

The latter menu choice is named "Disk drive" to be exact.

Sounds like stock 2.1 (FOTA for example)
Should be a setting someone to prompt when connecting what to do. Is there nothing in the drop downs as mentionned. It sounds as though you ticked alsways do this on charge only on the HTC usb plugged in menu.
It should show something like Charge Only. Click to change in the notification drop down - can't remember for sure.
(Not running a 2.1 sense rom atm)

No,its original FOTA 2.1 update.

I'm having the same issue with my Hero now. What do you suggest to fix the issue?

I think that solution is to restore Hero to original ROM (you can download it from htc web site) and update it to a 2.1 with official FOTA update via wireless or 3G.

[Q] [Q&A] Computer Can't see Tablet

Hey all,
My roommate recently bought a Galaxy Tablet 10.1 and it just now wont connect to the computer.
When the device is plugged into the computer (we tried both a mac and a pc with updated kies mini installed on both) and the tablet says USB is connected, but it doesn't show up on the pc.
Any ideas?
We had it connected earlier in the day, and know it won't work. I'm puzzled.
I've got an infuse, but i've never had anything like this happen before.
Try going into settings> applications> development and tick or un-tick usb debugging. Might have to try both settings plugging and unplugging from the computer to finally get it to come up. Give it a couple minutes between each to be sure its going to see it or not.
This has worked for me in the past when something changes and I don't know what. Also re-installing the drivers on the computer has helped before for some reason. I'm using Windows7 so YMMV.
Let us know what helps.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using one stinky finger.
Are you stating it's not showing up as a storage drive in Windows when using USB, or are you stating KIES cannot see the tablet (or both)? If Kies, welcome to the club - you are far from alone. I know of no known solution (that topic has been beaten to death on all forums). Togling the USB dedub option may help with respect to Windows seeing it as a storage drive (try another USB port, too), but with respect to Kies, if you find a solution (that you can duplicate) please share. The only way I've ever been able to get Kies to work twice on the same computer was to reset the tablet back to factory defaults - at which point, I can connect VIA Kies one more time, then back to square one.
Good luck!

Kies see's the device, but wont connect. Windows doesn't see if as a USB device.
We tried toggling the USB Debugging switch to no avail.
On my infuse when i plug it into my laptop i have to go to the notification window, click on the usb connected notification, and then select mass storage mode.
We get the notification on the tab, but when i click on it nothing happens...

nothing is supposed to happen. it uses MTP not mass storage. On your laptop, go to "Computer"...it should be there under a portable media device.
if that doesn't work....make sure USB debugging is UNCHECKED...it will NOT work with it checked.
If all that doesn't work..try another USB port
I believe the issue is on a windows machine it usually pops up a box where you can select what you want to do. Such as open folder to view files, etc... and this isn't happening. Probably wrong in my thinking but who knows.

Ezcats Re: Nothing should happen.
This is not entirely accurate. My experience parallels Benzoman's statement. Each and everytime I connect my 10.1 4G (GT-7500D), Windows does indeed open a box asking what I'd like to do with it. It does show up under Computer as a device, and I can readily access it to copy files (however, Kies won't connect... Kies recognized that fact that I plugged it in, and attempts to connect, but never does - again, unless I reset it to factory in which case Kies not only finds it, but will connect to it - once).

Sounds like your phone USB port may be defective. It is possible you have pushed it in a wee bit when plugging the cable in one time through the m/f not being aligned just right, and now the male connector on the cable isn't going in far enough. Either that or hardware issue. Tried a different USB cable? I use an old BB cable at work without problems. Any micro USB cable should work to see if you have a cable problem.
sorry to reopen thread but my phone now only shows usb debugging but no usb option to change from charging/usb mount in the status bar...
wiped reflashed and everything but the kitchen sink and still cant get it to pop up...
Well, it happened to mine. But it seems to have fixed itself now. It's very funny (as is my One X) with what USB leads/chargers it will work with, but then it always has been

[Q] Phone automounts by default....any advice?

For the past couple of months I've been having the problem that my phone auto-mounts the usb storage whenever I plug it in to the computer to charge. I've done some research and found that Double twist and Winamp apps have automount as a setting, but I'm not running either of those. I'm running speed rom 7.5 as my daily driver. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go to settings, and there should be an option that says "Connect to PC".
From there, you can change the default settings or have it always ask you.
doesn't seem like there's any such option in Speed Rom 7.5

Just installed 7.5, and I see what you mean. But however, when I plug my phone to the PC, a notification pops up, notifying me that it is connected to PC and is set to charge-only mode. I still can press on that and it'll allow me to change the modes. Hm.

Yeah thanks for the help, my phone always did that too until a couple of months ago. I'm thinking it might be an app, but i'm totally stumped as to which one.

So I did a full wipe and re-flashed and the problem is fixed now. Had to kind of start from scratch because the problem would come back if I restored data from my nandroid backup, but it's worth it.

4.2.2 usb not detected

hello, i am on "[rom] [4.2.2] Unofficial CyanogenMOD [cm10.1] - [feb19] - PREVIEW 5". i am having a problem with any of my computers recognizing my Note. i have re-installed the device drivers on my computers and have checked and unchecked all the options in the usb menu, MTP, Camera and usb storage......nothing is working, but the Note does charge thru the usb. i have tried Airdroid and it works ok, the only thing is that it doesn't support viewing the sd card, only the internal storage on the phone. Am i the only one with this problem or am i doing something wrong?

Thanks for letting know about this app, but unfortunately it did nothing for me. i installed the app, i have android debugging checked, i gave it root permission, and tried both MTP and Mass Storage and rebooted and nothing happened. PC still does not see it. did i do something wrong?

It's the rom atm I believe, I have the same exact issue, just use AirDroid, it works very well. If they ever fix this USB issue, I probably will never go back to it, AirDroid is so much better.
ya i agree......i actually just figured out how to view the stuff on my eternal sd card with AirDroid. works very well. it will do for now....the thing that will bug me is that the regular options on the phone is working for some people and not others on this rom....
I think its the kernel, and I'm sure Jamie will see how to fix that.
So Airdroid is a good work around? How is the transfer speed for photos?

yes...it is a very good work around. ive been using it since i figured out how to access my sd card. its pretty fast. as soon as i hit "ok" to download a pic from my phone to my pc its already done before the "save file" dialog box closes.
Here's the answer.
If you use a fast charge kernel it cuts off USB.
Switch kernels or turn off fast charge before you connect to your PC.
perform a windows update and under "optional" items look for your device.
im not using fast charge....
and to the other post what do u mean "perform a windows update"? my windows is up to date. im using this ROM, "[rom] [4.2.2] Unofficial CyanogenMOD [cm10.1] - [feb19] - PREVIEW 5". everything worked fine on Preview 3, USB doesnt work on P4 or P5. i am not the only one that is having that problem on this ROM. for some people its working and for others its not.......

your post got me thinking.......so i did a little test.
since i am using 41g-4Aces-26-0219 kernel that supports the fast charge option i went to the fast charge settings and it is unticked (off) by default. i ticked (on) and it told me fast charge would be enabled if the kernel supported it blah blah blah. then i turned fast charge back off and plug in my phone and BOOM! USB storage worked again.
i think some how fast charge is actually enable when you first flash the kernel but it shows as not enabled in the fast charge menu option....
so long story short....fast charge was enabled but i never enabled it nor did it show as enabled.
thank you sir,,,,
Yeah, the fast charge option is a new feature in the 4.2 kernel, and I'm sure the developers are going to work out the kinks.
Try FJ's B8, i have no issues with it.
Ive had the same problem but with JellyBeer rom should i try these steps as well ?
fast charge
How did you find the fast charge setting? Where is it?

[Q] Anyone else experiencing this?

Sup my XDA'erzz... Hey so real quick is anyone experiencing issues with Android File Transfer and a Mac? I'm specifically using a Macbook Pro i& quad-core with a SSD and running OS X 10.9 Mavericks... I never had these issues with my Verizon OG HTC One 32GB... But since picking up a Verizon HTC One Max 32GB Android File Transfer refuses to work and for the life of me I can't figure out why.. If I just plug it in nothing happens unless I manually launch AFT and then I receive a message that says please connect your android device with a usb cable. If I plug it in and restart the phone it picks it up but then says can not connect to device... It's extremely annoying because I'm working on some ROMs for it and I have to constantly ADB push everything....... Not that big of deal but I'd still like to be able to mount my storage where everything is visible and can add/remove as I please.... Any suggestions would be great, thanks guys!!
Try using a different cable. Sometimes its a simple solution thats overlooked.

Reinstall drivers, not a mac user so idk if you need the fastboot or adb files from sdk. But if you do, reinstall those exe files

Did you look at what the usb phone setting is on. I know there are extra ones like modem or something or other that could prevent transfer.
I am having similar issues, the mtp file transfer mode seems to borked. I can get files from phone but not send em. I've been mounting my external sd as drive then moving the files using root explorer.
Of course.. It always shows that MTP mode is enabled but does nothing when you tap it, and also shows usb is connected on the phone but when taping that it brings up only options for internet passthrough and sharing etc...

Right. Internet passthrough and others. Dont some of those stop file transfer when active.

Could be the USB 3.0 intermittent issue. Try a powered hub that is USB 2.0 as if your notebook is new enough most likely the USB ports are all 3.0.
Just saying.
