Fuze not being recognized by Computer

My Fuze all of a sudden, when I plug it into my computer via USB, doesn't launch the USB to PC connection manager, and my computer doesn't recognize my device. My Fuze still draws power and charges through the USB cable, but I cannot Active sync it or put it into Disk drive mode. I've tried it on three seperate computers with the same result. Is something wrong with my Fuze? I've tried flashing several different ROMs with the same result. I've tried it through my headphone adapter and my TV out cable with the same result. Please Help, this is very frustrating.

Please can someone help. This is incredibly frustrating. Even if I can warranty exchange the phone, I can't flash back to standard SPL, because I can't sync to my computer to flash it.

That is really strange. Have you tried looking at the setting in: Start - Settings - Connections tab - USB to PC?

Yeah, its all normal. I have it set to ActiveSync(Synce withOutlook)
I have Enable advanced Network checked(even unchecked it doesn't work)
and I have it to ask me about connection type when connected. The connection type never pops up when I plug in though.

Solved
The two USB cables I was using were broken or something, because now with a third USB cable I tried it works fine.

might be too simplistic, but i've made a similar mistake before...
are you checking the screen that appears on your fuze when you connect the usb cable? is the 'use as modem' option checked by accident?
EDIT: nevermind, didn't read your entire last post.

The weird part is that the USB cable that came with the Fuze no longer works. Maybe its the ROM I'm running?

Had the same problem. The fix for me was to open Active Sync on the phone and manually click sync. After that, all was good.

Strange problem with USB connectivity

I have a strange problem with a HTC Touch PRO. Here is my problem:
- I insert the USB cable and the phone asks if I want to use mass storage or activesync
-the phone shows a connection on the screen
-The PC is not sensing anything, the activesync is not connected.
I think this problem appeared after I used a wrong usb cable...
Anyone knows anything what to try? or this is a hardware problem?

Did you select ACTIVESYNC?
There are 2 modes this phone can do..
1) Standard ActiveSYNC or
2) AS a MASS STORAGE DEVICE -like a flash drive...
You have to select ActiveSYNC to actually SYNC software/calendar, else it will show up as just another drive to drag/drop files..

Yes i did it in every way and the computer is not sensing the connection with the phone.
Anyone know what kinf of hardware is responsible for the connection with the pc?

The problem is likely with your operating system on your pc.
You can try things like, un-installing the HTC usb driver in device manager.

Check your firewall.
- allow activesync for trusted
- I know for ZoneAlarm you have to go to the adapters section and set the ipaddress (a new one is created when your phone is hooked up via USB) to be trusted.
If that doesn't fix issue perhaps its a corrupt install of ActiveSync. Try uninstalling and reinstalling.

I've had this happen to me. I've got so many USB to mini-USB cables and they are not all alike.
Sometimes, it would work and sometimes activesync would not recognize it.
CHANGE YOUR CABLE to another. Hopefully, you've labeled the original cable that came with the phone..
(also, look at the mini cable where it plugs into your phone. Make sure there are no loose pins and/or verify that the 'plug' is level.

Try a different USB port

Try unchecking "use advanced network configuration" in Async settings on the phone. Some computers (for various reasons) have a hard time communicating with the phone when it's configured as a network device - unchecking this will often allow Async to find and connect to the phone, at the expense of some other functionality.

coincendentally i am having the same exact issue, it started last night.
i have tried 3 different cords, on all 3 usb ports on my computer. same thing the phone asks what kind of connection i want whether i select disk drive ofr active sync noting happens. whats weird is that the phone is charging when its connected however the computer is not seeing it at all.
i have tried all the recommendations in this thread but nothing is working. anymore help would be greatly apprciated!

Me too I have tryed everything but none is working.
I think that this a hardware problem, and the problem started to happen after i used a non HTC cable, bad quality. I think some kind of controller is dead. So i started to live with that

When I connteced to the PC via USB, my TP also asked me how to connect (AS or as disc). But suddenly it doesn't ask anymore. I had to deactivate "advanced network configuration" to conntect to AS.
The checkbox "ask each time USB connects" is activated.
What can I do that the phone asks again when I connect it?
Thx.

I have the same thing going on... suddenly a few days ago my fuze only charges when I plug it in the desktop with a usb cable... I re-flashed and it worked about halfway through a sync and then started again... I've tried different cables... uninstalled all of the usb drivers, and reinstalled then updated them... Disconnected the power supply... tried every setting on my phone, and in windows.... I've even uninstalled the last batch of windows updates that came out last week... nothing seems to work...

really simple solution.
decheck advanced network config. plug in cable wait till you see usb connected. a small box. after that choose for example activesync

internet share
This happened to me last night and I figured out that after you toggle your internet sharing you can sync up again. Idk why it works out like that but it worked for me.

This sound reasonable, because the last thing I did before was selecting the "internet sharing" option in the menu when you connect to USB.
But what do you mean with "toggle your internet sharing"? Can you please describe it.
Thx.

try this
okay - first see if you're getting an active connection with your pc , not from the network connections window, but by running mymobiler. I was getting a connection through mymobiler, but active sync wasn't recognizing the device. If mymobiler works, Call your phone. it will drop your connection with mymobiler when you answer the call. then hang up the phone call. (all the while leaving your cable plugged into your phone. When the call has been disconnected your activesync will recognize the connection and sync up again. I don't know why this works, but I've been able to duplicate the results several times.

Same htc ****+ wm. Bought an iphone 3g. Everything must be tuned in windows mobile! It doesn't work how it should!

None of this seems to be working... I've even flashed new roms and it stops working halfway through the sync... it doesn't even appear as though windows recognizes the device... it makes no noise or pop-up when I connect it...
Still charges though... Don't know what is going on...

Reinstall Mobile Device Manager!

I've experienced this issue multiple times, as I use my TP to sync with many stations. The solution is way more simple than you think and it has nothing to do with cables!.
You probably use Win Vista so all you need is to uninstall "Windows Mobile Device Center", restart the PC and install a fresh copy from MS site.

If you're on XP, do the same with the Active sync solution for XP.
Good luck!

yeah this happens to me every now and then. the advanced network configuration option really helps, but sometimes i just need to plugin/unplug the usb cable from teh phone/cable or cable/computer a couple more timesbefore it picks it up...
goodluck!

Captivate will not connect to computer

I'm trying to unlock my dads old Captivate, but I need to connect it to the computer to do this. No matter what I do, this phone will not connect or be recognized by the computer. I plug it into the computer and it makes the little beep it makes when you connect, but thats it. No "USB Connected" on the top bar or anything.
I can connect my captivate fine, its just his. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and that wont work. Any ideas?

Do you have the drivers installed?
Sent from my SGH-I897

Ye, the drivers are installed. Would it be a driver problem though if my one captivate works, but the other? That sounds like a phone problem to me.

Settings> applications>usb(something or other)> mass storage.
Also make sure usb debugging is enabled...
The froyo settings might be different...the usb options could be in "wireless and network" instead of applications.

Nope, that doesnt work either. Its like its not even connected. Nothing showing up on my computer, nothing on the phone. The only thing that shows up when you plug it in is the charger icon comes on to let you know its charging.

i would recommend that you try another computer if that doesn't work, restore your phone to factory and if that doesn't work then you have two out of three possibilities that might lol, be seriously i think its not a drivers issue if the other phone is working. It might be a problem with the computer recognizing the port i really cant think of anything else..

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

If it's not connecting to either captivate it's a driver issue. Make sure that USB debugging is on and that under the application usb setting you have it set to ask on connect. Try a different usb port on the pc, or another cable. I had a bad cable a while back that would charge but not connect, it was even the one that came with the phone.

Use a USB port off the back of the computer, coming DIRECTLY off the MB. There have been tons of issues with using remote USB ports. If it's beeping when it connects, it's being seen by the computer. Just that there's a problem with getting the proper info.

I get this problem sometimes too. This is how I solve it. Under USB settings select Samsung Kies and plug the USB cable into your computer and phone. See if your computer recognizes your phone. Mine won't recognize Mass Storage but will Kies. I don't have the program installed so windows will say Drivers Not Successfully Installed. Once you have done that, restart the computer and phone with USB cord unplugged. Once both come back on, switch your phone back to Mass Storage and plug in your USB cable to both the computer and phone and see if it will be detected by your computer. If not I would try a different USB cable. That is what works for me when I have that problem.

Some cappies have issues with generic cables. Make its the original or a high quality one.

Would be a good idea to check if the following
1. Settings- applications- USB settings : make it ask on connection.
2. Change the USB port which you connect

Zune cannot detect device [SOLVED]

I have tried reinstalling Zune, manually selecting drivers from Zune under Update Driver. But no affect.
Something else that I can try to solve this?

Check the USB port & cable first. Try to reboot PC (with power off) and connect handset to the different USB port.

Tried everything.

Have you tried to restart phone?

I had the same problem last night.
Fixed it by plugging in the USB cable to the actual motherboard. In other words, the back of the PC. Not a USB hub, or the front port USB on most computers, since those are not really connected to the motherboard (it is, but with wires/cables).
Worked perfect after that. I did re-install Zune and reboot my PC several times before I tried that.

Well the USB port is working fine, tested with other devices. Tried restarting the device as well as the PC, no affect.

It's kinda strange. Does your phone appears in the device manager? (you should see "Windows Phone USB Devices -> Windows Phone USB") Also, what the WPConnect.exe says?
P.S. Possibly your phone's USB connector is damaged; also, did you tried another USB cable?

It was detecting with a yellow "!" sign but then I added it manually.
What does these things mean or affect in the advanced settings of the device?
Port setting -> USB Switchng ->
QC Composite
MS Composite

Yellow "!" sign means your device isn't function properly, driver not started.
And I have no idea what are you asking about. Could you post a screenshot?
P.S. BTW, something wrong with your phone's USB connection: socket or cable. Did you tried another cable?

Hey, lamborg, did you resolve the issue? The good manners is (if you don't know that) at least inform people who's tried to help you.

This always works for me too. Usually my phone is detected/charges in the PC front ports, but in order for Zune to sync with the phone/Zune HD it must be plugged into directly into the USB ports on the motherboard. I have one of those early USB 3.0 PC chassis' and mobos...and which they usually have to be plugged into a 2.0 port too to sync.

Had the same problem a few days ago, had to uninstall the actual USB hub and reinstall it again on device manager. Actually, I uninstalled all USB ports, but luckily I still have one of those PS/2 mouse to reinstall those ports xD

Well the switching of mode of USB did worked.

Question S22 ultra samsung dex

My s22 ultra suddenly does not work on dex. Theres no way to access the sd via a pc either.
I was using this exact setup and it worked fabulously.
As far as i know i went to bed one night and it didnt work the next time i went to use dex.

Reboot phone and pc? Is the phone recognised when connected? Try another cable, does it work on a different pc. Do other USB devices connect ok etc etc

i have rebooted both phone and pc. Same cable as when it did work infact the samsung original that came with the s22. My s9+ does not connect. Both phones DO charge via usb c.
I have infact reinstalled my pc and resest my phone to factory trying to fix this.
Still to no avail.

Does it connect to another pc? Usb pc hub might have failed

its a brand new laptop and it does power the phones. and it all did work fine. i can even power my usb c vape through the same port
there is not an alternative machine to test on

actually i just thaught of this, the last night i was using it i had the standard popup on my phone asking to allow dex to run. An ok responce and cancel or not now responce, i dont remember exactly.
Could this have done something if i hit cancel

also could there be something in the pc bios i may have not realized could effect this. Since i was on the same night trying to boot to a usb linux pendrive

When you connect your phone can you access its files on your pc? Is it recognised as drive

Ok so ive even reset the bios to system defaults and tried a regular usb to usb-c and still nothing

could it have anything to do with the phone usb connection settings. When you plug in a usb otg it normally would give an option for transfer or charge etc on the phones pull down menu and all its doing is saying fast charging

Try phone on another pc

Absolutely everything else works through usb mate.

What else can you access via USB. Drives, devices?

well i can access the standard usb port with an sd card reader. read write and even installed windows off it. So this usb to usb c should work fine.
If it were just the usb c hub blown this would not be the case.

im currently trying to see if i can run a lubuntu through usb bootable key and try to access the usb c ports from that.
I have been reading about my laptop and apparently it has a reputation of usb issues. lenovo x1 yoga gen 2 on win 10

Solved. During a bios update it appears the bios setting for thunderbolt usb-c was changed to disabled. As soon as i discovered this and rebooted it worked so if anyone is having issues with this they may want to check there bios settings.
4 days of struggling over. Dang its nice to beat a computer once in a while.

Do you have Link to Windows enabled on your phone? If so, turn it off and try running DeX.
