Mac or PC? That would help out a bit. What have you done? That would also help.

It's a PC, Windows 7. I dl'd htc sync and googled htc drivers then dl'd that. When i plug in a usb cable then go to my computer it doesnt show anything. HTC sync also says no device found.

My experience with HTC sync is.....it sucks. But you don't see any extra storage in computer section? don't get a prompt on your phone to activate disc storage either?

Try a new USB cable I used a PSP USB cable for a while when my HTC hero USB cable stopped working properly. Just find some more USB cables and test them all.

You probably damaged the USB controller with ESD. You can try another USB port, but it's likely that all the ports are damaged (at least all the ports on that controller). Check the other ports on the PC. Most modern PCs have at least a couple of USB hubs built in. It is possible that a port on another hub or controller may work. Otherwise, you might be able to use a USB add in card in the computer if all the built-in ports are dead. They are relatively cheap if you have the slot in the machine to install one.

mount to PC is a known issue methinks. What is your current setup? Rom/kernel? and how are your settings? USB debugging set on/off? auto connect set to "ask on connection"?

I have the newest Simply Galaxy 2.7. 2(ROM) (port) with Overstock V2.1.1
Yeh debugging is off
Auto connect is mass storage
Any ideas?

Its common with the 2.2.1 roms. What you need to do is replace the vold.conf, and the vold.fstab files in system/ect. I have attached the ones you need. Just use root explorer and drop them in the ect folder, reboot, and test.

you should download toolbox from development section and the first option is to install drivers. once u run the program. install it and then test the usb cables. by the way i never charge my phone from a computer i like separate chargers so im using the charger for BB to charge my battery. its quicker as well.

Boston represent!!! Dorchester here. Its fool proof really. Just make sure you change the system to read/write in root explorer, and drop the files in the system/ect folder.

USB won't connect.

Hey everyone,
I have been having troubles connecting my phone to my computer through USB. I used to have to push the micro USB cord to the side for the computer to recognize it. Now my computer will not recognize my phone at all, but charging through the USB connection works fine. Is there anything that I can try to get my computer to recognize my phone? (I have the drivers and have connected it to the computer successfully in the past) and if there is no fix, then will warenty cover it? I have had this since late October. I am running galnet miui if that helps.
Thanks,

My suggestion is to try another cable. USB cables can be real finicky. Or try a different USB port on the computer.

Thanks,
About how much was the replacement cost for you? I just want to get a rough idea.

I did not replace anything - I just cleaned the port and all was good again.
Oddly enough - today it started acting up again. Going to try cleaning it again, if that does not work its time to get it exchanged under warranty.

[Q] Can not connect to computer?

I just bought the Amaze today, and when I went to connect it to my PC to transfer music, videos, etc., nothing happened. I selected the disk drive connection type, and it still does not show up in My Computer. (I also have tried multiple USB ports).
It works on other computers, so I am guessing it is a computer issue, and if so, is there any ways I can fix it?
Any ideas..?
Have you tried to open it manually... Start>Computer and find the 2 that reads HTC Storage and Removable Storage.

I went to my computer and those do not show up. All that is there is the C drive, Local Disk (Q, the DVD drive, and BD Rom drives. No phone.
You have to install the HTC drivers first if you haven't done that yet.
Have you tried installing the drivers...

Weird, I never had to install my drivers. Just recognized it right away....
I also like using wifi to transfer things. Always worked well for me. I use wondershare go mobile. Download the app in the market and the file on the PC. Works great!

HTC EVO 3D has USB computer connection problem

I have a HTC EVO 3D with a very odd problem. It will not connect to my computer (recognized by the computer). The phone will charge when plugged into the USB; although, the computer cannot recognize the phone. I have already exhausted the idea of the cable being the problem.
Has anyone ever seen this issue?
Are you rooted? If not, try a factory reset. If you are rooted, try another rom.
If your computer is a Windows computer, you need the HTC drivers.

I tried the driver packs I've seen on the Web, but none worked. What I did was go to HTC's website and install HTC Sync (get the right one for your version of windows if it asks). It will install the drivers. Then uninstall HTC Sync, but leave the drivers installed.

Mounting Problem

hello guys.
i have Amaze for months and had no problems, but for now, i'm pissed off.
my phone doesn't mount Disk drive.
i mean, when i plug it on usb, there is an error pop-up saying "Usb Device Isn't Recognized" and it starts to charge.
i tried 3 different cables, did a full wipe, changed rom, kernel, but still no luck.
i'm running latest Energy rom w/ faux's kernel, S-OFF-ed, rooted, 4Ext recovery.
any ideas?
Might try a card reader. If it reads ok, backup all the contents then format the card. ( fat 32 I think) better check.
Just an idea.

i discovered another thing, when i insert usb in my phone, it says that usb isn't recognized, but when phone is plugged about 1.5-2h, than Disk Drive mounting appears and i can mount my phone as usb storage.
i'm confused
