Hey,
I've had my Unlocked HTC Hero for nearly five months now with out any problems (official ROM only). Suddenly I'm having problems with the USB connection. When I plug in the USB cable I don't get any notification on the phone - at all. I don't get the option to select HTC Sync or to mount the SD card for transferring files.
Any ideas? I'd be happy to reflash, but don't have the USB connectivity!
thanks
Ugh - Just did a hard reset which wiped all the data, but did not bring back my usb connectivity. I've also tried multiple USB cables and several computers.
Hmm....
Now, I've got it to connect a couple of times. Using either a hard reset or flash the rom, then download some apps, and then the USB is recognized (but only once).
Might be worth trying a different cable if you can?

I really don't get this. Every now and then (like 1 in 50 tries) I get the notification to pop up, but most of the time it doesn't. Any one with any ideas?
Same problem here
Hello,
I have the same problem, it started happening after the Android 2.1.-update. Suddenly nothing works, i suspect is an OS problem. If you have any solution please get back on this thread. Cheers!
Did you look at the dates on this? He clearly wasn't using the 2.1 update as it was all the way back in February. I suspect you've broken the connection somehow, either the connection in your phone or in the cable.
Trust me I've searched the problem, many people have reported this in 2.1-update 1. I've tried with several computers both Windows and OS X, different cables ... etc.
i got this problem to! i cant do anything because i cant connect to my computer
I have the same problem, did you find a solution?
Today i plugged my phone to the usb cable and instead of getting the usual connection option screen... nothing... The phone charges but no Data transfer. Did hard reset, still nothing.. now im stuck with the old firmware... any help plz?
might be the cable that you're using. i used before a cable that is not the original and the same thing happened to me, i.e. pc cannot recognize device.
Try Settings-->Other-->USB To Pc-->UNCHECK (enable faster data sync) this should help...
cable : original came with the phone (used to work up until b4 yesterday) also tried another micro usb cable that came with me N900 but still nothing.
I did the un-check "enable faster sync" still nothing
Did soft reset, hard reset using volume keys, and factory reset from phone setting itself. still nothing.. the phone charges.. but no data transfer.. its something to do with the phone because i tried multiple PC's the phone doesn't bring up the connection type option page

No harm in checking.Infact i faced similar issue once and the USB2 was disabled.It took me an entire week to diagnose the problem.These PCs have got a mind of their own and do mischievous things on their own without our knowledge.
But since its not working on multiple PCs,i am not sure.We'll hav 2 wait 4 a solution i guess...
hmmmm.. would a full system format and re-install be possible? and would it fix it? (talking bout on the phone)
HELP, HELP
SAME PROBLEM WITH HTC2 T0MOBILE
even on the boot loader screen, it charges but no USB stuck on serial.
even when on sleep mode and plug the cable orange led is on but it didn't wake up for choose (active syn or stoeag memory)
PLEASE HELP
i can do nothing, HSPL or rom upgrade
the cable and the USB drivers are tested more than 100 times
Most horror problems I had with the USB sync have been down to not having the latest version fo Activesync from microsoft. Uninstall the old version thwen reboot - now download the 4.5 version which I think is the newest and last version they made (unless im out of date) and then reboot the machine, then connect up the phone - but not immediately after the machine has booted wait a couple on mins, Windows takes longer than it often appears to be ready to go. One your hard drive led flashing light has settled down it is probably time to try. Then see if it finds all the devices in your phone.
If it doesnt go into the control panel and double click system, hardware tab, then select device manager and see if there are any devices with a yellow sign with a "!" in them. If there are delete them and then unplug the phone and plug it back in again. It might get past some stuck things. If it doesnt see anything new on device manager theres a menu at the top and look for "scan for hardware changes" this gives teh device manager another look at what its got connected.
If that fails open up the USB section under in device manager - its got a little plus next to it, press that plus and it open up all the names of chips you have for your USB control on the pc's motherboard. Write down the numbers and go and get the correct up to date drivers for that type of USB and install them. Then try the process again. Sometimes deleting the USB drivers and just doing a "scan for hardware changes" again, will reset the USB drivers and start things working, however it can get tricky if your using USB mouse and Keyboard to select anything if you delete the USB, because thats what the KM/mouse relies on to control teh machine, so have a PS2 mouse plugged in if you can. If that fails I would suggest reinstalling windows as its probably knackered. It amazing how things start to work wonderfully on a fresh copy of windows.
I have been where you are! And tried every suggestion that was given here. It all came down to the cord. I actually went through 3 different cords before I found one that worked and found that by accident. I bought an external drive and that cord works. For whatever reason, that is the only cord that now works for me. I only use it for data transfers. i use the other cords for charging.
Hi guys. So a few days ago, my phone stopped connecting to my pc. It will beep on the computer and say it's unrecognized, and the phone itself does nothing. No usb connected, no battery charging. It does actually charge, just doesn't show it in lockscreen or the desktop icon. When I go into the battery under settings, it does say charging.
I have:
1. Used 5 different cables.
2. 3 different computers
3. Resintalled drivers.
4. This started out of nowhere on MIUI (2.3)(just had the phone connected a couple of days prior with no problems). Flashed ICS EX rom, ICS CM9 and ICS Slim...same thing on all...
5. Tried mount USB storage under CWM
The phone does not respond.
Any Ideas?
This may be a long shot, as you've done all the normal trouble-shooting I would have done. However, you didn't mention if the phone was set into USB Debugging or not? I know when I've had my phone set into that mode before my PC wouldn't properly recognize or transfer files back and forth.
If you didn't know, it's under the 'settings' menu and look for something related to Developer options. Enable it if it's disabled, or disable it if it's enabled. My phone has acted wonky a couple times with transferring files and I've had to play with that setting on more than 1 occasion. Hopefully that helps.

If you use the regular charger, does it work (for charging)?
If so, you might have the usb port in your phone broken, just for the data transfer...
Hello,
I am presently facing a strange issue with my Lyf Water 8. Nothing has gone wrong on my phone for almost 2 year but recently, impossible to charge my battery while my phone was on also I am unable to connect my phone through USB. Today, after a few weeks thinking my phone was just dying, I have tried to make a back up and wanted to save all my data on my computer. However, impossible to connect my phone to my computer. Then I realized the problem was probably due to my USB parameters (No interface asking for mode to choose when I plug USB).
I can only use USB while my phone is OFF, meaning I only charge my phone when it is OFF.
I did not find any solution on internet and did not find an option to allow this interface to come back, even by trying to go in "developer options" as it is unable to connect through USB.
I have tried factory resetting my phone but nothing seems to solve my problem.
Could you please help?
Thanks

Hi,
I came across a charging problem recently (happened all of a sudden, no clue why it is happening). My phone(m2 max pro) charges only I turn it off, when turned on the USB connection is not even recognized.
So, the only way to charge my phone is to switch it off!. This appears to be not so very rare problem, there are few posts out there (with different phones) complaining the same problem, but no working solution yet.
Few things:
1. Current rom is Arrow OS(m2 max pro), Android Pie.
2. Restarting the phone with the charger connected helps. The USB will still not be recognized though, but the phone charges(although, it charges slowly, the lockscreen shows - "charging slowly").
But, If I later disconnect and reconnect the charger it won't charge anymore, I have to restart with charger connected again.
3. Tried cleaning the USB port, tried clean flashing the rom(even with a different one), did not work.
5. Tried moving/adjusting the pin in the USB port slightly (recommended in one of the posts), did not work. Although, I didn't fiddle around this much, afraid I might damage the pin/port, will try again.
6. Tried draining it off completely to 0% until it auto shuts off and then charge it until 100% (this was recommended in one of the posts), did not work.
7. Tried different USB cables and ports(including original charger and wall port), did not work. I don't think this is a problem with cables/port.
I still think this was some kind of software problem, I hoped clean flashing the rom will fix this but was surprised to see that it does not!. or is it a hardware problem?
Anyone has a fix for this or seeing same symptoms(If so, how did you get around this)?
Thank you.
This is fixed now, after caliberating the battery(with a rooted app)
-> Rooted the phone(installed magisk), wiped cache and rebooted.
-> Installed Battery caliberation app[ROOT] (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ot.superthomaslab.batterycalibration&hl=en_IN) and caliberated the battery.
-> Did a reboot and the problem went away
I didn't even had to wait until 100% to caliberate the battery (but the app recommeds so)
[EDIT]
The problem came back after a while, now its kinda randomly happening, most of the times it seems to work fine.
But, then again, it only charges, it does not recognize USB connection(to PC, which I used to connect to successfully previously), I don't see the "touch for more usb options" notification either. A workaround to this is to change the default usb configuration(in developer tools) to a different one (I am switching between File transfer, No data transfer, PTP), but as soon as you disconnect and reconnect the problem resurfaces (you'll have to again switch the default usb configuration and then reconnect)
I am perplexed!, I thought this is clearly a software issue and I hoped it would go away if I clean flash rom (the exact same build which worked fine previously, also cleared everything including vendor partition and excluding external sd card)
