help connecting the phone to pc - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

my computer would not recognize my infuse...
(btw i have windows 7 ultimate)
have kies installed on my computer, tried uninstalling, reinstalling..still no hope
when i connect my phone to comp it says device not recognized
i dont think there is any problem with my cord, because i just root my bros captivate today with the cord i have.
any suggestions?

Similar issue for me
i have a simialr problem but for me its the phone gets recognized but it wont let me do mass storage so i cant drag and drop things to and from my phone.
HOWEVER i did find a app that made the cable not neccissary.
its called "Software Data Cable"
it hosts a ftp server off your phone and over wifi lets you connect to the phone with a ftp client like filezilla and move or copy things from your phone without having it plugged into your computer, you can set in the settings, a username and pass so connection can be secured.
by default the app sets the port to 8888 witch for me didnt work so i used 6464
and it works fine.
-really recommend setting a username and password to be required to connect

yea that would be good for transferring data..
but what if i brick my phone and cannot connect to pc. then im screwed

Thats why i always keep a spare kernel and ROM that i know works completly on the sd card just in case, along with backups of recovery and boot and system.

This is one of the very real risks you run when flashing custom rooms.

Just a simple suggestion but try cleaning out the temporary files etc. stored on the Athena also delete the partnership with the pc, uninstall activesync, reboot the PC then reinstall activesyn then reconnect the Athena. Try to sync the bare minimum first (calander, task, and favorites). I had to do a hard reset before I could get my email to sync my emails also.

It seems a PC problem... have you tried another PC? Are you using VISTA or XP?

He did mention that he tried several computers: "i tried it in another desktop, laptop but i have the same problem".
So the common denominator is the Athena, but not the OS. Starting to sound like a hardware problem. Did this start after you dropped it, or left it in a hot car?

Pc Connection Problem

The last while my HD2 wont connect with my desktop. I connect with the USB and the phone just charges i cant physically move files unless i change to Disk drive. I thought this might have been a problem with the ROM i installed (Dutty's Creme De la Creme) But the phone connects to my laptop as it normally would and any other computer.
I recently did a fresh install of my pc OS and i still seem to have the same problem i still cant locate the phone. (unless i choose disk drive)
Iv tried everything that i can think of to fix it but nothing. Can anyone shed any light
Cheers,
russe
go to settings, connections, USB to PC and untick the box for faster data sync.
"pair" ur phone with ur PC and after that tick the box again....
seriously i tried absolutely everything to try fix this, And that was all i needed to do ha. Thanks v much worked brilliantly

That happened to me once, I restarted my computer and it worked. I would also just tried another USB port after that
I've been having this problem for awhile. I've switched phones, computers
erased my sd. I don't know what the problem is.. Ive even bought a new usb cord. I'm going to buy a new sd card and try that. My computer says it doesn't recognize my phone. All I want is too put music on my card.. It worked so nice before the ota 2.1...i really appreciate your input.
It could be the drivers. See if it gives you the option to uninstall the drivers from Device Manager. Maybe you can add an ADB device. I forget how.

Kies problem

Hi,
I have S2 and for months i backup and sync my phone via kies to my outlook. One day I update the kies software on my computer, and since then kies on my computer doesn’t work properly.
Regardless if the phone connect to the computer or not, it doesn’t show any icons in the program window and the menu options are block except the help option, see the photo.
I tried to remove and reinstall software, even remove it from the registry, waited for new upgrades, downgrade to previous version that work well on my computer, tried to upgrade java and reinstall Silverlight but nothing fix it.
I have windows 7 64bit and Kies_2.3.3.12085_7_5 version.
What else should I do??
Thanks in advance

Does your phone get detected by Windows (not Kies), i.e. can you access files on the phone using the Windows explorer?

Therefore USB cable, port and driver are most likely working fine. Did you try from another PC, i.e. an entirely different installation of Kies on another machine?

You are right; I don’t think it related to the phone because even after new Kies installation from scratch without connecting the phone, I get at the startup window the same problem (no icons on the home window and disable options).
On another PC its work well but I need it to work well with my workstation PC at work to sync meeting & etc.
What can I change in my computer that might affect it? After all it did work well in past.
Is that so complicated issue? maybe you can refer me to another place that can handle this.

I do not know how complicated the issue is. If I knew the solution I would have posted it, believe me. I tried in vain to reproduce the error you are facing.
I also do not know any better place then XDA to seek for help, but you could try to talk Samsung directly. Sorry but I'm out of ideas
Try this (KIES SGS2 connection working)
I had a big problem with getting my SGS 2 connecting to KIES. I've got repeatedly "Cannot start service ont the device" or "device not detected".
Then I tried several combinations, like:
a. connecting the phone with the SIM and SD card,
b. connecting with SIM w/o SD
c. w/o SIM and with SD
d. w/o SIM and w/o SD
Apparently KIES started to recognize my phone when SIM card was not present (as in c and d). Then I tried to connect the phone with the SIM and SD card in but the SIM was not initilized (i.e. I wasn't entering PIN). KIES recognized the phone and then I was enetring the PIN.
Everuthing worked.
I hope this helps

[Q]cant connect

hi. the problem im having is that i cant connect my phone to transfer files such as music and photos. i can use apps like airdroid and kies but want to discover the problem and have an easier way off organizing my files from computer to phone.
i recently flashed cm-9-20121209-NIGHTLY-galaxys2.zip then installed gapps-ics-201204929-signed.zip from internal storage.
thats the only two things i have done.
a window used to pop up when i plugged in the usb and it would also appear on 'MyComputer' folder. but neither happen now. I still get the connected sound when i connect the phone. I have tried different usb slots on my computer and have tried turning my phone off and on and rebooting it.
do i need a special driver for the cyanogenmod rom? thats the only thing i can think of!
anyone have any suggestions?
thanks
