Samsung galaxy nexus isn't recognized by win 7 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I upgraded to Windows 7 on an older laptop. I plug my phone in and it doesn't recognize anything. I thought win 7 would pickup the driver automatically but I guess not. I tried rebooting the laptop and phone
do I need a driver? Android adb or sdk is it?

Well that didn't help darn it. Does anything other than usb debugging need to be selected on my phone?

Just USB Debugging needs to be checked, make sure your plugging your phone into a USB 2.0 port as USB 3.0 can give you problems. Also if you have a different computer try that as well.

I installed the driver for schi515. When I rebooted my phone I heard the sound it makes when it's connecting and disconnecting. It started auto installing a driver for OMA0444 I think it was, then the download failed. I don't know where that came from or what it is? I recently added a new hard drive and Win7
Under device manager, "other device" toggles between showing OMAP, and not even showing "other devices"

Not working on my pc either. Usb port needs replacing. Previously I was able to transfer files to my pc, but it looks like that ability has been lost.
Will replacing my Usb port erase my phone?

One more thing I would recommend taking a look at is this thread as the person manged to find a solution similar to the problem you are having. As far as replacing your USB port, replacing it will not (Should not whenever your modify any electronics risk of data loss is always a possibility) erase your phone.

Thanks. Turns out the screwdrivers I ordered that were made for any cell phone won't work on this. T3,4,5&6...Damnit

What size screwdriver are you looking for? As the Torx screws on phones can vary greatly sometime, which size torx screw driver do you need?

That's my question. What size do I need? I need to remove the back so I can replace the USB port.

Is it possible for you to post a picture of the screws, I might be able to identify which screws they are from a picture.

Just took at look at the Samsung Galaxy Nexus Teardown guide on iFixit and yes it is a small Philips head screwdriver that is listed for the screws. When doing the teardown I would recommend taking a look at there guide that I linked to.

[Q] QPST + Photon 4G instructions?

So after messing with this thing for a few hours tonight I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get all the ports to end up between 1-10 and want to slam my head on my computer desk.
Just wondering if Motorola did something funny because it uses like 5 ports, maybe 4 I think, I dunno it's late. So if anyone has a tutorial or would like to make one that would be super cool. Thanks

If you look at the thread labeled diag mode I posted instructions on this. I'll make a tutorial later today. I've just been lazy.

I've looked at that but I can't get the ports to work, I can never get all four ports to end up within the 1-10 range. Using windows 7 x64. I sware I thought there was a way one of my IT instructors told me you could relocate some used ports to other open ports.
Also, say one of the phone ports says it is on com 8, when I go into qpst config and ad that port, it will say that the port is busy....
If you could address this issue in your tut I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Also, since one of the modems we connect to says something something lte does that mean these phones are capable of running on the lte network from verizon?

The port should show automatically and you shouldn't have to add it manually.

[Q] USB Connection problem?

Hey, so when I try to connect my GS2 to the computer (via USB), it doesn't connect for some reason. After connecting it, it takes about 5 secs and it starts to charge but doesn't connect to the computer. I've tried a couple of different ROMs and also on 2 other computers and its the same result. I need help please. Thanks
First make sure drivers are installed if so then try another cable that could be the problem.

You are missing the drivers. Search via Google for the hardware ID or simply by the model of the phone.

I have had the drivers installed, and I tried my brother's HTC usb cable and it still doesn't work.
My thread is right above yours. There are USB port issues with this phone. Although I feel for you, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. If you have insurance take it back cuz it only gets worse. Flash stock while you still can, if you're not already running it. Trust me.

Same problem here and replacement is on the way, phone randomly thinks its charging, car mode turning on and such buy it is nice to know also that I am not the only one

USB Help is needed ***tough puzzle to solve**

When I connect my Samsung Vibrant to the computer it says unknown device can't connect. Under device manger 2 USB have erros.But the phone will charge. This is a list of stuff I tryed so far, but have had no luck to fix the issue.
THE LIST
I tryed to connect to 3 other computers -same result-unknown device
I have tryed 3 USB cords(The all been tested and working)
Made sure USB settings were check and says ask on connection
Uninstall Samsung drivers off the computer. Reinstalled new drivers from Samsung web site.- no luck
I have uninstalled drivers and installed Samsung kies with drivers- No luck
I have uninstalled all Samsung drivers,all USB drivers,powered down the computer and unplugged it for 2 min to reset devices . After reboot and tryed to connect. Still says unknown device, failed to connect.
I tryed to reflash a Rom through CWM. With the new rom it Still the same, unknown device.Failed to connect
I have reformatted the external SD card..still no luck.
I have deleted clockwork mod folder. Reinstalled CWM.- No luck
I even ran windows fix it on the USB.
I have unstalled Microsoft essential antivirus off my computer -thinking it was blocking it.- No luck
I went as far as disabled firewall - no change

If any one else has any ideals on what else I can try or knows how to fix it. I will be so greatful. Thank you for your time to read this.

try different USB cable
I think you said you did this but make sure usb debugging is enabled. Go to settings, click applications and then click development and make sure usb debugging is checked. You have done everything I would recommend doing. I used to have the same exact issue. My phone would charge but I could not connect to the computer, my friends vibrant connected fine though (weird).What fixed it for me was a new usb cable from the tmobile store, it costs around $15. They have a 30 day return policy, if it doesn't work you can just take it back. I was really close to replacing my usb port on my phone but I figured I would try a cable from tmobile first and it worked thankfully. If a new cable doesn't fix it then you may have to replace your usb port unfortunately. I recommend www.mobiletechvideos.com if you end up having to replace your usb port, good luck.

I also have multiple usb cables but the only one that works is the cable from the tmobile store. All four of my other cables work fine on my friends vibrant too. Like I said in the post above yours, you can always take it back if it doesn't work either. If that's the case then you could try cleaning your phone's usb port with a Qtip and some isopropyl alcohol.

Does your pc recognizes your mobile connected when in recovery... you have tried almost all possibilities so i have no idea... You can try flashing stock rom and then format(factory reset) whole device...

It's called JFD. If your phone is detected in download mode then you can use this software to return to stock - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509

Copying files from DNA to Windows 8 PC

My computer is a Windows 8 PC with a Intel core i7 980x 6-core processor, 16GB DDR3 and it has USB 3.0 yet for some reason when I try to copy picture from my phone to my PC via USB I am greeted with this......
Usually a usb issue,
Try to connect, reconnect, reboot your pc, use a different cable, use a different port. These are the tips I can give you. Also check the drivers

I have a Windows 7 PC and plugging in my stock DNA triggers a massive driver install each time. Also I think I can access files only if HTC sync or something of the sort is running... This almost makes me miss my TB running AOSP.

Completely stock.
I have used multiple USB cords on every port on computer and reinstalled the drivers 2 times. Issue remains. I have to copy files 1 by 1.
My HTC Sensation works fine copying from both the phone and SD card.
when you plug in your phone does usb debugging come on and does windows say you have a unknown hardware id?

It's listed as "HTC6435LVW" on the device list. I have done it with USB debugging on and off.
I can copy files as long as it's not more than around 10 pictures.

This sounds like a driver issue. I would search for a updated usb driver.
