Problems connecting using USB

Hi again!
Ok, my situation is a bit confusing:
I had a cool Toshiba e310 a year ago. It works fine and connecting to my PC using USB was no problem.
Now I have this wonderful XDA and I was banned to connect it to my System to update some stupid things like SMS-Names !! (whatever)
Windows says: "Ah! Nice an USB device.... [I have Active Sync installed] what about searching for nice drivers... Well cannot find one, so... lets deactivate it...." ??
???
ah-ha.. k. I would say: "Nice to have a good and new hot-PNP device." I really like the XDA but XP is everything but intelligent!
How can I fix this problem? Active Sync tries to find the device but says that there was no connected device. Please check calbel.
Ok, I pulled the cable off and... tada: windows-sound-signal
Pushed it back... tada: Windows says device found... but: No active sync. no connection, no data transfer.
Do anyone have a little driver for me? I have ever handbook, every CDROM and ... well you know what within the original package.
with regards
McNugget
Try updating activesync or removing and then reinstalling if you have the latest version.
Also try a soft reset if you haven't already.
HTH
This problem haunts me, I need to soft resent almost every time.
I'll try that!
ActiveSync should detect the device but I will search for a newer version anyways...
I'll report the results later this day

My ActiveSync was too old
It works now!!
Thanks!
Had a similar problem, so switched from using front USB port to back one, and it worked.
Still the same problem if i use the front one.
Not a prob though.
Front usb works with everything else aswell, just strikes me as a little strange... :?

ActiveSync not connecting on StarTrek

Dear All,
after plug my startrek to usb activesync starts and identified it and the local network connected but after seconds it disconnect from the activesync.
i'd search all the net for a solution but not finding any.
mabey the drivers?
anybody could give me the drivers for the activesync 4.5 on starttrek
thanks alot
Maddening, I just went through the same thing. Drill down into Microsoft's site, there's some additional info on reconfiguring your usb port, it was just a button, on/off kind of thing so if it's X try Y and vice versa. That solved it for me, sorry I can't be more specific but I didn't write anything down. I did get the initial link from the activesync trouble shooter however.
in my case my firewall (zone labs) was the cause.
thanks alot for replay
i've went through all the microsofts' but nothing, it still connect and disconnect.
thier is somthing else.

[Q] Why a USB connection disconnects Bluetooth?

Sorry if it is a stupid question, but I am completely new to S2/android and can't find an answer anywhere.
Is there any reason why placing the phone onto the craddle (which is connected to my PC via USB) comes up and ask me to disconnect Bluetooth? Why is it not possible to use both USB or bluetooth at the same time?
All my previous phones could do that but they were all HTC and all Windows Mobile phones. So I am not sure whether it is an issue with Samsung or Android or I just haven't configured it correctly.
I normally have the phone in the craddle while working (so it charges and can transfer files to and from) and use the bluetooth handset to answer or make calls. It is pretty annoying to not be able to do that anymore.
Thanks.
From what I can tell it's a thing with the Samsung bloatware they put on the phone, as I just tested it with my phone and I can have bluetooth, wifi and usb all connected at the same time. Perhaps try flashing a new Rom?
Actually I have just found out that if I go ahead and disconnect bluetooth and get the connection through USB running, I can then re-enable Bluetooth and they both keep working.
THis is a completely stock S2, so it would be nice if it was possible to change this irritating behaviour.

You've already been given your answer, flash a custom ROM that's deleted and the bloatware, and please don't become one of those newbies that doesn't read the responses in the very thread they started
Yes I have read "TehH4rRy"'s answer. My apology for not thanking him for that.
I was hoping for a solution that does not involve flashing and rooting since i have much better things to do with my time, and I was hoping this was just about me not knowing some perhaps hidden options to turn this behaviour off.
As far as I know this is the generic "Q&A" section, so you can't assume that everybody that posts a question here is looking to flash their S2 to death.
I posted my finding so that if somebody else had the same problem and is not willing to flash their phone, they would know that there is a work-around, and perhaps some other kindly helping users have even better work-arounds.
Your answer on the other hand I am not sure what it adds to the thread... but thanks anyway.
If you enable USB debugging, the phone will not disconnect the Bluetooth.

[Q] Win 7 Bluetooth Driver issues

Yes I did a search bot ways and even looked though the threads that came up when i was posting. I get the feeling new posts are not realy accepted here so If I need to look on another board just let me know.
I am still trying to get my Bluetooth to work between my Alienware M11xR1 and my AT&T SGSII.
All drivers install but the last two for Bluetooth do not work and come up red and INOP.
I have installed the latests drivers for both but no luck. It will only work using the Laptop as a Bluetooth headphone/micro Phone device. No file transfers or any data. Kies will not work either.
Has anyone else been through this?
The goal is full data sync and file tranfers Via Bluetooth
Thank you for your help
I've been trying to pair my phone to my computer too but failed. I've searched and it seems like samsung did not put out any BT drivers out for out phones. My computer and phone can see each other but was never able to pair up.

appradio unchained

I have appradio unchained , gs4 and a pioneer appradio3. I am not completely helpless on a computer but I am far from your levels, so please be patient. I have been at this for about a month, lol and I have it all working except I cannot get the Bluetooth media connection to stay connected. it actually connects and works via Bluetooth but as soon as I hook up my mhl cable it disconnects the media connection through Bluetooth.
I bring this up because even though I have a mirrored image on the hu I cannot use the touch screen and I read somewhere I need the Bluetooth media connection to use the touch screen.
Any idea on how I could get this to work would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance
Any chance im missing some basic settings?

Just thought id add that maybe ive missed some basic setting in my gs4 that allows or disallows having a mhl cable and Bluetooth functioning at the same time? I just cant find any reason why it shuts down only the media side of my Bluetooth when I hook up the mhl cable?
Please let there be help for this!
any idea were else i could post?
Dos anyone here have any idea of another forum I could use to try find some help? I am running out of ideas.
Thanks

Yes I did. appradio works fine. I just cant get appradio unchained to work. Maybe this is crazy but I am thinking I may need to completely reset the phone or install a new rom in order to get this to work.
Ill check out this other thread.
Thank you for responding!

Ok well I have read already and that's were I downloaded appradio unchained. I went over the survey and didn't find anyone with the s4 running4.4.2 that had it working.
Dos anyone think installing a custom rom would fix the issue and if so which one would you recommend?
Anybody think the s5 might help?
