[Q] Extremely slow to connect/mount to PC - HTC Rezound

Has anyone else had any problems connecting to their PC's?
My new Rezound takes anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes to be recognized on my year old Dell Latitude. After that time the Internal and External SD cards finally pop up on Autoplay (and become available via Windows Explorer). I tried a co-workers identical laptop and it had the same issues. However, I recently plugged it into a 6 month newer Dell Latitude and it works without any problems
I've also downloaded just about every Android/HTC USB driver I could find at some point too lol.
BTW, it does start to charge on "Charge Only" mode, but the VZW popup garbage still takes the same 2-5 minutes to be recognized. After that point Easy Tether and PDAnet start to work as well.
Anyone else having the same problem?
Thanks!

don't seem to have that problem on mine. the drives show up within just a few seconds after i plug it in.

Mine pops up quick as long as I remember to hit the "usb drive" (or whatever it says) option on the phone.
Using an approximately 3 year old Sony Vaio running Vista.

Very interesting...
Mine's a Dell Latitude E6510. I also just tried it on a smaller version of my laptop (Latitude E5410) and it has the same problem. It works perfectly on my wife's old Dell Studio and my dad's new Dell Latitude 6520.
I wonder what is causing the hangup?

Are you running an antivirus that's perhaps doing a quick scan before allowing it to be accessible? (just brainstorming)

Running into the same issue! On some computers, it connects in just a second. But one one Dell Laptop, it takes several minutes. Can't figure it out! I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers to no avail.

Good idea on the antivirus and whatnot but nada... I think I've just about killed every process known to man without killing windows and still nothing
SamXP, which dell laptop are you having the issues with? Sounds EXACTLY like what I'm dealing with.
I had a random thought... what if I was to get a USB ExpressCard/PCMCIA? Would that link up differently than the USB's on the motherboard? I obviously rather find an overall solution to all of this but I need myself a fix here soon!

It's a Dell Precision M4400, but it also happened on one other random laptop, I don't remember the make.

Sounds like a Dell thing eh?

no problems here. Mounts much faster than my tbolt ever did.

So I just recently installed unlocked my Rezound through HTCDev and installed CleanROM 1.4 and now it connects up to my PC as smooth as butter!
I found some more specific errors thru eventvwr.exe and in all reality I think it was the VZW CDROM popup garbage not getting along with my laptop.
Either way it's working great now with ZERO hesitations and EasyTether connects the second it's plugged in =)

Argh! Serial - USB -> dead?

I just tried WM2003SE upgrade, but after erasing message, it just gave connection 101 error!
i tried, hard reset, soft, etc, but no lock it just says:
Serial
v 1.01
if i put it in the cradle, it will show "USB" instead of "Serial",
is this dead? i just bought it and like a hero, tried upgrading
It's not dead.
Put it in the cradle and try the upgrade again.
Don't forget to connect the power charger to the cradle for in case the battry is drained during upgrade.
Regards,
Mark
and if that doenst work try to upgrade it on another pc with active sync
Finally, my advice starts to stick!! :lol:
Have you done lots of upgrading on that particular PC? If so, then it's definitely worth trying a diff PC.

It Worked!
Hi, thanks everyone for your replies, i managed to get it working today on a another PC, looks like its time for me to get another laptop, this one is dying.
It worked sometimes, then cuts off in the middle, then stops working, i tried it all night yesterday, though i lost it all, only had about 2 hours sleep because of that but i tried today on another pc, and it worked the first time.
Probably onboard usb is faulty (although it works with my cable modem, external dvd-rw, etc), but it seems to me, the update/upgrade program needs error-free connection and mine might be ill.
anyway, i downloaded the rom from o2 xda website and updated to that(wanted to upgrade to WM2003SE before it went in coma), i cant afford another crisis , i like my xda 2 too much! :wink:
Thanks for your replies, appreciate it 8)
I don't think it's anything wrong with the hardware. My advice would be to ensure you backup any backup files then uninstall ActiveSync, before removing all registry and folder references to it. Then, reinstall and then see how things go from then on. Glad it's working though now!
Cheers

Backups
Yup, i've done a backup of the ROM and also the Extended Rom, don't know how to backup or where the Radio Stack is, so i'm assuming its in the main Rom.
The reason i think its the hardware fault is because things like cable modem, dvd rewriters, etc work beneath the drivers, and they do all checksums and checking, with Him upgrade program, it uses ActiveSync APIs, so any hic cups in activesync would be passed down to him upgrade, if activesync did proper data checking and resend data (or might be that the bootloader is limited so it might be limited on what it can do) then the errors could be rectified.
These are all my assumptions. thinking out loud.. etc
I tried reinstalling activesync, etc also created new admin user, tried safe mode with networking (without networking gives TCP/IP error message).
All failed.
i wanted to fix it yesterday night with this laptop, and didnt have access to any other computer, so ended up staying up til late and trying all possibilities, but all failed so i gave up and waited for the next day. came back from work and then tried it on another computer and it went smoothly.
Also tried resetting the xda2 many times, taking the battery out, soft hard cold hot yellow green, tried all, but no luck. :roll:
So i assumed it was a hardware fault, or XP sp2 fault (the other one is a desktop with win2k).
anyway i'll be formatting this xp sp2 soon and putting windows 2k, seems more stable, trying to get maximum mileage out of this laptop.
thanks for the tip though.

Wont sync or be recognized by USB

im having a problem in which my touch pro will not sync or be recognized by ANY type of usb connection (ie, advanced network functionallity unchecked, disk drive mode) it syncs via bluetooth just fine, and when connected to the computer via usb the dialog box asking which type of connection still pops up and it still charges, but no type of connection will go through, i have tried everything except for a hard reset which is what im really avoiding because i have it finally running exactly how i wanted (complete with manila 2.1 on wm6.1 htc 2.01 rom which took me an hour to get working exactly how i wanted), any suggestions, im going crazy here

from where i sit, it sounds like u've spent more time fussing with the no-usb problem more than the hour it'd take to "setup" your phone lol.
can you provide any more info? when did it start happening? have you tried from a couple different computers? cables? please give as much information as you have on the entire subject so we dont have to "drag it out of you" as you are the one requesting assistance dont make us do all the work
I have been having same issue with my Touch Pro. It was working great a few weeks ago...then it just stopped...my pc can't sync or recognized the device. I have been doing extensive reading on so many posts...but nothing seems to work. I finally gave up and a did a hard reset last week...guess what? It still did not work. I suspect it might be a hardware failure. Here is what i did and it was unsuccessful:
Install and then uninstall WMD...nothing, bought new OEM data cables (2 to a pack)...nothing, unchecked the advance network functionaility...nothing, someone recommend to swipe the connection inside the phone for possible dust...nothing, tried on my laptop, desktop PC, work PC and my UMPC (all worked before)...nothing, i tried different usb ports on ALL pcs...nothing, started up ICS and connect (supposedly it will install drivers needed)...nothing.
I also notice that some of the chargers I had for it-also stopped working. Only OEM chargers work now.
Also, there are MANY people complaining about this problem as well...
so I use this program, WIFI Remote Access v1 beta 4, freeware to add apps or make changes via wifi. Works great.

Wish I could find a "fix" for this issue...I can't sent it to Sprint or have a warranty since I flashed it over to Metro PCS...like I said it was working for the past 5 months or so...

well probably last weekend it started happening in which WMDC would just drop the connection and wouldnt reconnect until i rebooted the PC and yesterday morning it also wouldnt connect till i rebooted the pc then it synced and added songs just fine, then i went to school and sat down on one of the computers there and worked on a paper i had to do, this was the last time it worked at all, i got back home and when i connected it to the PC no connections accepted at all, ive rebotted and soft resetted about several times to no avail.
**UPDATE**
i just bit the bullet and did a hard reset and guess what?...........still not working so im resyncing everything through bluetooth and soon will reinstall manilla2.1, after this i will be going to sprint tech support, maybe i can have it exchanged for a TP2
well so yesterday i went up to the sprint store, explained my situation to them and said that ive even done hard resets, they guy had me turn in my phone to him and said that the repair would only take 45mins well 70 passed before i saw my phone again and when i got it back they told me that the reason it wouldnt sync is due to all the 3rd party programs i had installed (only 3rd party program was spb pocket plus) all other installed programs were made by microsoft,sprint and htc. so they did a hard reset and told me it synced their computer fine and that it may be a problem with my computer so got home and it STILL DID NOT WORK!! i even plugged in my axim x51v and it synced without problems,i cant believe i wasted 5 hours of my time and pay an extra $7 for such unprofessional service. they didnt even offer me a new USB cable.
Hey eric,
I have been to other sites and there other members experiencing the same thing. This is the first time hearing it was a 3rd party app...you know it isn't an app if you do a hard reset, which I DID...and it still my pc doesn't recognize it. In my case, it was working great one day...and the next day- it just stopped working.
Now my wif also went haywire. And a hard reset didn't fix that either...
I will be getting the Touch Pro2 soon. I never experience any issues when I had the HTC Mogul...my HTC Pro...well I love it...but i can't deal with the hardware issues...I just replaced my keyboard not to long ago.
Sorry to hear Sprint gave you the run around...
edit: I read somewhere in another post...that sometimes the wifi wire can get unplugged after installing a new keyboard...I opened it up and found the wifi wire (on the back side) plugged in the wrong connector. I must have unplugged it accidentally and then plugged in on the wrong connector. Found the error...now wifi works great.
I've began to have the same issues as well. Last week I flashed vet's ROM and thats when it died. I tried hard resets and other ROMS and its still the same thing so I dont believe it was vet's ROM but more of a hardware issue.
I have no activesync functionality, no flash ability over USB, but charging and disk drive work fine.

I never had this issue. Only internet stops working with the weather updates and skyfire, Im on metro, I just reflash the cab for the internet and that fixes that. But did anyone else try flashing a new rom like hemirunner426 did? Could be worth a shot to get it working. Sounds like urs is F'ed dood sorry.
well I bought a new usb cable from ebay for only $3.xx and since it arrived my usb functionality was restored.
Its usually a problem with the usb cord. I had this same problem before. Just go to the sprint store and they will exchange the cord for free, they also redesigned the cord do it doesnt keep breaking.

I have been testing energy and veito roms and started to get the same problem as everyone here having to reboot both tp and pc to get it to connect I get it to sync but if I leave it on it disconnects and I get usb device malfunctioning or unable to reconise device so I called sprint they told me to go to the repair center I pay my tep for 7 buck he told me it I had damaged the usb port the plastic in side was broken it had been like that from when I got it new he said it would cost me 100.00 for the Insurance to get a new one I went to the other repair center said almost the same thing the bull about this is the tep they are suppost just fix the phone no matter how the phone is broke even tho it was not broken so I called sprint they put me thru to tech support they offered me several replacement all junk phones or a refub tp so I took the tp wouldn't give me a tp2 think I am going to call retention and complaine now that I see I am not alone with this problem
I'm suddenly having this problem now.....I have switched to 2 different computers (freshly formatted), flashed to 2 other ROMs via SD card but still no luck with the sync through WMDC.....It charges the phone but will not sync. Any ideas from the gurus??

Is it just me or is wifi on the NT abysmal?

Problem 1. Many times, I will pick up my NT after it has been sitting idle for a number of hours, and wifi simply will not connect. I try to turn it off and back on in the settings, but it says it is unable to turn wifi off. I power cycle the device and it works again. This will happen on an almost daily basis.
Problem 2. Once wifi is working, certain websites will not load, or will load just once and wont' load again for hours. For example, I bookmarked these forums, and I check them often for updates. I wasn't having any problem at all until the last couple weeks. I'm rooted with google apps, i'm using the original browser. A few moments ago, I loaded the big list of forums. It worked fine. I clicked on THIS forum, however, and it would no longer load. I can browse the forums on my Droid Charge, my Desktop PC, my iPad and my girlfriend's iPhone 4s, so I know the website is not down, and it's a problem with the NT only. Other websites on the NT work fine. I can run the Speedtest app on the tablet with no problems. I can run wifi analyzer. This problem even occurs on Dolphin Browser.
I'm about to just do a factory restore again and give up on rooting for now. This was the same problem that made me restore a few weeks ago. The browser just becomes borked after being rooted for x amount of time.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Just an update: After factory restoring using it for a while, and then re-rooting, I've noticed that problem 2 has never re-occurred. I'm not certain what was happening. Very strange. I reproduced the problem over and over before posting. I even tried resetting my router and modem just in case.
Problem 1 persists. Rebooting always fixes the problem temporarily, but if the device goes to sleep for a few hours whether charging or not, it will almost always need a reboot. I always try to turn wifi off and back on, but the device is unable to disable wifi during this issue. I never noticed this problem while the device was unrooted, though I'll admit I didn't keep it stock, unrooted, very long.
I'm rooted and I don't have either of the problems you mentioned. I use the dolphin browser exclusively. I'd definitely go back to stock and then re-root.
Been rooted a week. Use Dolphin-Mini and little on no trouble. WiFi seems to reach pretty far. I sometimes need to restart if idle a while.
I have not had any issues with wifi.
It's you. I have yet to have an issue with wifi. Netflix amazon player, dolphinhd etc.. all hage worked almost flawlessly
I've experienced Problem 1, where I'll need to reboot wifi after leaving my rooted Nook idle overnight, a couple of times. But it's only happened 3 or 4 times to the dozens of nights I've left it on overnight. Otherwise, I haven't experienced Problem 2 or any other issues connecting to the internet using wifi. My Nook seems rock solid in that department.

Same Here.
I am having the same problem 1 the past two days or so. I have sideloaded amazon app store, GO Launcher EX, the Nook app manager and several sideloaded apps from the amazon store. Also running ZD Box.
I will have the wifi just go out with the same message, I turn off and back on and its fine. I figured its one of those issues that will be cleaned up with the next update.
My son has a Nook Color still on software 1.3 and he has had it once or twice.
I am having the same problem with the Nook needing to be rebooted after sitting idle. I am rooted but I don't know if this was a problem while the device was unrooted because I only had it for about a day before rooting. Could it be Go Launcher causing the problem? Because it sounds like the poster above me isn't even rooted.
I leave wifi on 24/7, but only have my NT associated with my home network and my mifi. I have not had any issues reassociating with either of my networks after sitting in my backpack all day.
Wifi so far works great for me.
I've had my NT for over a month now, and no problems with wi-fi. My wife's 1st Edition has to be rebooted and charged up to 100% to get the wi-fi to work right. I think her problem is she keeps letting the device run down to well below 50% before reconnecting to the charger. Less power- less signal strength, I guess.
There are a couple of free apps in the market that might help you. WiFi Analyzer will pick up all the nearby signals and reporrt their strength. You can walk around your premises and see how well your router is reaching various areas.
Just a thought.

Power-saving settings to blame?
I've seen this during three weeks of using my NT. It's not a new problem.
I used an iPaq on my home wifi for years and noted that when I enabled power saving on the wifi NIC on the iPaq, it would get stupid and lose throughput completely from time to time. I'd have to cycle the connection to get it back.
Sounds familiar.
I had it happen sporadically with my NT.
Since BN did my OTA update to 1.41 a week ago, I have not seen this happen.
I don't think sideloading is the cause since I noted this very early on in using the Nook before I sideloaded it.
I believe this is an unfortunate implementation glitch with a lot of wifi NIC's and access points, and not unique to the Nook.
No problems with mine which is rooted. Wifi works great.

My grouse with the NT's wifi is that it seems to be pretty "weak" - signals that my laptop and Nokia N8 could find and connect aren't even visible on the Nook Tablet. That's rather inconvenient.

I've had the opposite experience, In basements and rooms where my phone or notebook have spotty access, the NT has held on like a champ.
This sounds more like a "my router and my NT don't play nice" which is a problem that I have had with my mothers Iphone and my own Droid 3. I changed some settings on the router and it worked for the iPhone, and setting a static IP helped my phone.
A widget to switch wifi on and off quickly is recomended, so that you can "reboot" your wireless. So to speak.
Its also possibly your device is defective? Try it with the wi-fi at work or at school and see if it has better stability.

Man, I haven't even thought about the iPAQ in years. I used to use one all the time until I bought my first smartphone. I had to Google it after you brought it up just for a quick trip down memory lane.
I have power save enabled on my NT and still am not having this problem at all; however, my battery is not getting below 75%. Are you guys maybe seeing this problem after the battery drops to a certain percentage, or is it all the time?
EDIT: I will also point out that if you look at the B&N Nook Forums, other Nook models like the Simple Touch are known to have wifi issues. I had a NST and it would absolutely refuse to get a DHCP address from my home router, so I would just connect it to my mifi when I had the odd occasion to need connectivity on it.
My NT is rooted and I have a similar problem but only with my router not not necessarily all routers. I just unplug my router and plug it back in and it reconnects with no problems. However, before I had my OTAs blocked, I got updated to 1.4.1 and the the issue was definitely fixed. However, that fix was not worth keeping the update. I am back to 1.4.0 and love my NT.
My NT has better wifi reception then my samsung Infuse.

easytether pro problems

I posted this in the Rezound are with no answers. Maybe someone here has seen this
OK, I have had this problem for a while, had another post but it got lost somewhere with no answers.
I sent my old Rezound in because of overheating issues. Have had easytether on it for a few months and loved it. When I got the replacement it did a wierd thing, it would connect to the internet fine, I could browse pages great but if I tried to watch a video it would slow to a stop after a minute or 2. If I tried to run a speedtest it would jump up to 8 or 9 mgps then fall off and never finish the test it just starts falling until there is nothing.
I convinced VZW to replace it again and now the second new phone does the exact same thing. I tried another computer same thing. Restored phone to factory fresh, same thing!!! Could it be my sim card?? Oh yeah, I tried one of the other wired programs with the same result
Please help me, this is driving me nuts and the company that built easytether are NO HELP!!!!
Chris
Sounds like it defiantly has to be your sim card or location. Did you recently change location? It sounds like it has to do with your location.

Nope, no location change. Matter of fact I have not even left town when it started happening.
Is there a way to reboot or restore the sim??

Are you on win xp sp2 ?
win7 64 bit

Windows 10 and Android M (or the cost of living on the bleeding edge...)

I've been running Android M preview (no mods, no root) for a few months now. In the mean time I've upgraded my main rig to windows 10. So far I like it a lot better than 8.1.
I decided I would like to run a custom kernel on my Nexus, so I tried to root. Problem is Windows does not see anything when I plug in the tablet. I turned on USB-debugging. The tablet shows it's charging, but it never prompts me to see if I want to trust the computer. Windows device manager doesn't show anything that looks like it could be the tablet; it is like it doesn't even recognize anything is plugged in at all.
The question for the group: Anybody else successfully root Android M whilst running Windows 10? Any tricks to try?
Thanks mightily in advance.
EDIT: Nevermind--Bad cable! I could have swore I tried a couple cables the other day when I tried... Probably wouldn't have worked if I hadn't posted so I look like a noob...
This Nexus 9 of mine is incredibly sensitive to cables.
I've got a few that work fine on my Samsung devices but not on the Nexus.
