Whenever I connect my Mozart (Orange UK brand) to my laptop (x64 Windows 7) I feel the Mozart is slightly vibrating. However, with any 32 bit windows computer it's Ok and even OK with the mains charger.
Any body else having similiar issue?
I have the exact same setup as you but I have no such issues with vibration. Have you tried using a different USB cable? Does turning the phone to vibrate or changing any settings make a difference?
Yes, I did number of scenarios but only when i connect to a 64bit Windows 7 based laptop (couldn't get a desktop with Windows 7) it behave like this. It's not a visible/audible vibration, I feel when I try to pick up phone or touch it to feel the vibration.
I don't think it should be a laptop/USB port issue, I'm thinking of calling Orange to report this prolem but would wait for few days if any body comes up with the same issue.

Funny you mention that. I get the same strange sensation with my Mozart (Australian Telstra brand). And sure enough I've now confirmed it's when it's connected to my Sony VAIO TT (x64 Win7). Up until now, because it's so subtle my mind had refused to believe it was vibration - instead I wrote it off as being some kind of tactile interference with the anodized case material. Will do some more experimenting with other laptops and OS versions asap.

Ok, it's a relief to hear that this is not just my feeling. I've using this Mozart for alomost 3 months finally last weekend I did try few scenarios and then finally raise a question on the forum.
I don't have access to any x64 Win 7 desktop so cannot confirm whether a desktop USB port or a laptop USB port makes a difference.
Some more research on the issue:
Mozart slightly vibrate when connected to x64 bit Win 7 laptop (Sony VAIO) via USB, only when laptop is charging.
Any suggestion whom I should call; Sony or HTC ?
The only thing I can think that could be causing that is your laptop is sending a higher than usual voltage to the phone when charging and that causes the vibrator to start up. And you should call Sony in regards to that. If you have a multimeter you could try testing the voltage on the USB port to see if it spikes when charging.
The only other thing I can think of is that the phone shorts out when you pick it up(as humans produce/conduct electricity and the back of the phone is metal). So that would mean it only vibrates when holding it, not when placed on a table.
I have the same issue, but I only checked it with the main charger.
So I cannot image, that this is really caused by the laptop, but who knows

So, I just got a HTC HD2 and am trying to connect it to the PC. By the way, did the TMOUSA HD2 ever come with a cd?
I have a vista and tried to download the Activesync 4.5 but it won't allow as I am suppose to download Windows Mobile Device Center. So, I download WMDC and installed it. I plug in the phone and all I get is "USB Device Not Recognized" . PC doesn't detect it.
I have searched everywhere and tried everything but can't seem to get it going. I haven't anything solid to get it to work.
I tried:
-reinstalling the WMDC
-check and uncheck "Enable faster data sync"
Anybody have any idea? TIA
Is the phone charging LED lighting up when connected?
Have you tried another USB cable and/or another computer?
Then you could boot the phone up in Bootloader Mode. It will say 'serial' at the bottom of the screen. Then plug in the USB cable. The 'serial' should change to 'USB'. Then this might indicate that your computer is viewing the device as a unknown device. This device can be removed and your phone, in normal mode, replugged in.
This may not help, but it's worth a try. Vista has a known issue where it just stops recognising USB devices, even basic ones. Plug your phone in via USB and then restart the computer. When it comes back on it may recognise the phone. If this works then it will be okay for a while at least, but you may have to do this again every now and then.
Vista's basically a bug-ridden bag of gash. If you can, upgrade to Windows 7.
Hope this helps mate.

I tried with a laptop with vista (WMDC) and a laptop with xp (activesync 4.5). The led charging light is on, so it is charging but for some reason device not recognized.
I tried the bootloader (not sure what that does) and it says serial and then I plugged in the usb and it still says serial.
Still not working

does any one think a hard reset might help?
It sounds as though the USB controller in the phone is damaged. I had this problem with my HTC Diamond, and searched for ages trying to find a solution. I manged to flash it with a couple of times with different ROMs (from the internal memory via WiFi) - this did not solve the problem.
I am sure that a power surge from a car charger was the cause of the fault.

try checking cabling first or change the cable
Same problem
I am having the exact same problem. My phone can charge on the computer but I cant sync of even access it via the "Disk Drive" setting. I have tried both AcrtiveSync and the Disk Drive option, unchecking fast data synchronization, reseting the phone, and reinstalling WMDC. I have Windows 7 with the latest updates. I have also tried connecting it to two other Win7 machine with identical "device not recognized" results. The phone and cable and practically brand new. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm at my wits end with this phone and it has been beyond frustrating.

I am having same problems have tried on a vista pc, my mac and mac running parallels, nothing works. Reckon it is as fred_up says, damaged usb controller which means no NAND Android for me.
Been having similar problems, but seems to have been less likely to occur if I click "Safely remove hardware" in Vista or W7, and remove the device - yes even Activesync (doesn't seem to be available in XP)

did anybody find a soulution?
hi
did anybody get solution for this? i m having the same problem.
phone doesnt sync with wmdc, nor connect as disk, only charges itself.
message appears "usb device not recognised"
i have done everything, changed cables, pcs, re installed wmdc, even flashed new roms using micro sd....nothing happened.
is this a hardware issue? why can it be charged but not synchronised?
pls help anybody.
Try another Cable. In my case, changing the cable works. Now i m using my HD mini cable with HD2 and it is working well.

thanks,
but i have already tried all that.
today i called a phone repair shop and they told me that
this could be due to two reasons.
1. usb port problem.-in which case it is replaceable for about 15 usd.
2. problem with an IC (?) of the circuit (guess the motherboard) - in which case
it is either not repairable or very expensive.
i ll keep posting as i go and visit the shop.
if there's another solution pls share here.

oops...had forgotten all about this thread, until today till i received the notice about new reply.
thanks for resurrecting the thread.
actually i went to that phone repair shop i mentioned earlier and they fixed it by replacing the usb port. still it didnt work with win 7 laptops. but was fine with xp laptops. dont know why...anyway i have said good bye to my hd2 long ago & using android now
guess lots of people are.
good luck to you all.
Hello,
I have a problem with my HTC Legend. My pc doesn't recognize my phone when I plug the USB cable in. I don't get a USB-menu where I can choose between the different modes, the phone only charges...
I have read a lot of threads all over the internet, but I couldn't fix the problem. Here are some things I already tried:
- USB Debug enabled
- Ask which USB mode to use enabled
- Tried different USB ports on different computers
- I did a hard reset on the phone
- Rebooted the PC and phone multiple times
I really don't know what else to do right now. Maybe it's a problem with the drivers on my pc (windows 7 x64)? I don't need HTC sync, I just want the phone to act as a disk drive.
I hope someone can help me and many others too I think, with this problem!
Hey, this probably won't do anything, but mine is realllyyyy touchy, like I wiggle it a tiny bit and it will cut out or start working. Otherwise, try the cable with another phone if possible, it could be the cable, I don't think it'll be the phone if none of that works.
you may have the same problem i had.
see my post.
I have windows 7 X64 and my Legend works fine... the windows no is the problem windows install the legend good
Having the same problem, i've decided like Meocene said, that the usb port is busted. Mine still charges luckily, but connecting to a PC doesn't work in any mode. Windows reports an unknown device for which it can't find drivers, Linux is a bit more helpfull and blurts out messages about not being able to enumerate a USB port. Worst part, mine hasn't been properly rooted yet and still running on a original Sense ROM...
That was precisely the problem I was having - would charge but nothing else. Either send it back 4 repair or do it yourself.
Once I replaced mine everything started working and I'm now running CM7.1 - is nice.
My HTC LEgend like your,
I usualy restart the Phone when i connect the Phone with PC by cable
I did a quick search to see if anyone had this issue. Most chargers output 5.0 volts while the Touchpad charger outputs 5.3volts. While my problem is with a Nexus S, I think this will be of interest to Touchpad owners given the possible cause.
The other day I accidently used my Touchpad charger to recharge my Nexus S. Afterward, everything seemed fine until I attempted to connect it to my laptop to offload some files. While it worked the day before, my laptop (Windows 7 64-bit) no longer discovers the device. Suspecting a problem, I connected to another PC running Win7 32-bit and a Mac running Snow Leopard. All with Android SDK and drivers properly installed with the same result. The same goes if I first put the Nexus in bootloader mode.
What makes me think there may be hardware damage is this. If I power off the Nexus S, then plug in a charger or USB cable, the phone boots. I do not believe it did so before. In addition, in the past if I plugged a charger or USB cable the LCD would briefly light up. After the incident, it doesn't. It still charges though.
Not necessarily looking for answer here, just thought this might be a word of caution for those like me who own both devices.
It should'nt have
5.3 V instead of 5V = not a big enough difference to cause a problem
2A instead of 1A means nothing regarding your current (no pun intended) problem
Plus your nexus S has charge protection to protect it from incompatible chargers
I use my TP charger to fast charge (because of the 2A thing) my GS II and my wifes HTC desire
However Fast charging is not good for the long term life span of the battery

I've been charging my Nexus S 4G as well as a couple of other android phones (Samsung Vibrant and Samsung Epic) regularly without issue for a month or so. I doubt the Touchpad charger was the issue.
I've been using the touchpad wire to charge my evo 4g for over amonth and it's still fine.
Thanks for the feedback guys. Now I'm stumped as to why it happened. It is definitely something lower-level than OS, given the boots-when-plugged-in behavior.
End result is I can only transfer files wirelessly, and since I recently reverted to stock, I can't root it again. Hopefully, the official ICS update is an OTA, and not via USB (like froyo on Samsung Vibrant). If not, I'll seek warranty replacement.

It hasn't effected my nexus s
even though the charger is higher rated im pretty sure the phone only draws the maximum that is safe.
Just a thought: have you been using the same data cable to test this the entire time? It is possible for a cable to charge but not be able to transfer data. You may want to try a different cable just in case... just an idea.

Voltage is "given" by the charger and current is "drawn by the device.
High overvoltage would be dangerous but not 0.3v!
The charger could be faulty and have affected the TP while still being usable for other devices.
And the TPs dont like under current charging either.

Forgot to mention I tried different cables as well. The same cables transfer data to/from other devices like my Touchpad, but not the Nexus S. Good idea though.

I've been charging my htc windows phone with the touchpad charger. It's almost twice as fast and i haven't had any problems.
I have been temped to use it but. the NS charger gives 700ma while the TP gives 2000ma, If you want your battery to live more years use the stock.
I even use the NS charger to charge the touchpad... it will charge to 100% during the night.
I use my 2A Galaxy Tab charger to charge everything, never had a problem. If my SGS2 is happy with it, the Nexus S shouldn't have a problem either.
Amperage is how much current the charger is capable of supplying, the device plugged into it won't necessarily draw anywhere near that much, I'd be surprised if any regular phone would draw as much as 1A while charging.
Put a multimeter across any 5V charger and you'll probably find it's putting out anywhere from 4.5V to 5.5V unless it's a particularly good quality one. If it's high current charger then it's more likely it'll have a more stable voltage under load (i.e. - while charging).
A +/- ~10% difference in charging voltage should be within tolerance for pretty much any electronic device.
I also use the TP charger for my Sensation, no problems.

Sorry to correct you, but, current is drawn by the device and it will only draw what it needs so there should be no problem

I am having the exact same problem. My phone does not boot on its own when I connect the USB cable, which is a slight difference from what you described, but everything else is identical.
I hadn't previously thought of the Touchpad charger being the root of the problem, but after Googling "Nexus S charging but not USB connection," I came across this thread...and wouldn't you know, I've been using my Touchpad charger for the past two nights.
I haven't made any changes to my phone in the last two days. The only thing different from my normal routine was Touchpad charger.
May I ask, why touchpad can not charge with USB port on computer, only charge with hp touchpad charger ?
I've had this awesome tablet for just a day and loving it so far. Only issue I have right now is when I connect it to my Windows 7 PC, it is not detected at all. I have installed the PC suite (EeePAD_PC_Suite_v1_0_37.rar) which is suppose to install the requisite USB driver, but no luck.
It charges fine when I plug it into the wall so the wire is okay. Any ideas what maybe happening?

Most phones come with the drivers on them to install most functions when plugged in via PnP. I would test and see if uninstalling what you installed and then trying does. I could be wrong though. This is my first tablet and I don't have it in hand yet
i noticed that mine doesn't charge yet it does connect...make sure you restart too
I was told it will charge just at a much slower rate.
Problem solved. I did a bunch of things so I'm not exactly sure which one really fixed it. But rebooting the tablet seems to have done the trick. Also, the front USB ports on my PC have gotten a little strange. If I plug the USB connector all the way it wont work. I have to pull it out ever so slightly to get a successful connection.
Thanks for the quick response guys
No Matter what I install It still shows as an MTP device and that's it. Can not see it in any version of Windows.. any one have this issue. thanks
I got mine to work by using another cable.
Hi all,
I am a total newb at android and anything here on the board. From what I can tell: nice work guys! Considering we are all newbs with the prime I also want to throw in my question and share with you my experience.
I am wondering if your TF 201 is recognised by USB 3.0? My Laptop Asus N73SV (Win7 64Bit) connects only by USB 2.0 through AsusSync.
Having received one of the first designated 64GB Primes and later my dearly anticipated European hillbilly keyboard I today think the inlay oft he tablet fell once or twice of the production-line. So I wonder if the usb3.0 issue might be related to that or is it more a general thing?
Since last Monday I am in contact with Asus Support and they advised me to send in the tablet because of the lousy WiFi/ Bluetooth and GPS reception. Having opened the flaps of the tablet to connect the dock yesterday I want to give the whole setup back! I could live with the strong fit of the two pieces (TF101 docked and undocked very smoothly but I exchanged because of a broken WiFi connection). There fell a tiny piece of plastic out of the right bottom hole and an even more tiny one dropped after shut-down vibrating today. I will insist on a replacement.
I still think the Prime suits me best out of all silent computer devices and I will just wait another month or so till I get a perfect one. Sad, though I doubt a little the approach of a single tasking OS on such a blazing tablet ??!!
Anyway, I wish you a rock-solid TF201s and hopefully soon a little bit of a more sophisticated OS than this one. Google got the market, now they should invest in their power costing OS. Why not buying into the MeeGo which Nokia abandonned. My son, an apple fanboy, was stunned by the silky sliding of the N9 screens. Or will MS put it’s WindowsPhone on the Eeepad? When will ubuntu work on tegra3 processor and touchscreen …….
USB 3.0
I have an ASUS N53SV and it connects fine to the USB3.0 port and the USB2.0 port without asus sync. I have an BC series TF201 64G and the PC runs WIndows 7 64 bit
Thanks, so does my N73. Have you actually tried to Asus Sync your N53SV via USB 3.0 with the Prime?
For me no luck. Could be the N73 though 'cause it also doesn't boot up when I have an external USB 3.O Harddrive connected to it. I usually forget after a week and while reboot I wonder why the dumb thing hangs

Tried it with asus sync and like you it doesn't connect when connected into the usb 3.0 but does work with the usb 2.0. I have a Thinkpad with USB 3.0 I will try it on that one to see if it is a ASUS pc issue.
Edit: The thinkpad doen't work with the asus sync at all not on the USB2.0 or the USB3.0, it connects fine as a drive, tried rebooting the pc,tablet and changing the cable to the TF101 but it doesn't work.
Thank you XXRAY, so why not try to figure this one out and let's go into details:
I assume your N53s setup is also: the hdmi1.x next to the usb3.0 next to another usb2.0.
2 questions:
- have you ever noticed a short interruption to your hdmi-device when you connect your external usb3.0-harddisk?
- Does your N53 boot up when the external usb3.0-harddisk is connected?
Well, if you are curious, you might try it, otherwise: No sweat man! Your News just comes in nicely with me 'cause I am going to send my N73 to ASUS anyway as long as it is still with guarantee. I am fed up with unplugging USB3.0 devices to start that N73 Beast (it handles litteraly anything I throw at it and the Prime together with SplashtopStreamer is the missing terminal I need).
Maybe just one last question: Do you know how to setup "Boot on Lan" on your N53?(I assume we have a similar bios ...).
I really appreciate your help and I hope you won't have hazzles with your TF201 as I do. I will try to get a replacement later on today.
Sent the notebook in and ASUS replaced the mainboard. Device boots now also if there is a USB3.0 harddisk plugged in. No further testing with the Prime though. It went for RMA as well and the outgoing of this is not clear yet. Case closed.
