Im been looking, but can't find it. When I use to connect my phone to the computer with usb it gave me a option to connect to the internet (teather), snyc or use as storage. Now when I connect to usb it automatic connects to the internet.
How do I changed it back to where it gives me options......Thank You!
go to settings-connections, tap on "USB to PC" and on the bottom check the box "Ask me first about USB connection type when i connect the device to the PC". Or select how you want the device to connect from that screen.

I would like to have my Fuze connected to my laptop via the usb cable for charging and activesync, but use my phones wifi for internet.
Problem is anytime I connect the USB cable it drops my phones wifi connection and starts using my laptops internet connection, which is a pain while listening to streaming music and disconnecting often to run an errand. Ideally would like to keep activesync going to allow using mymobiler.
Thanks for any help.

start -> settings -> usb to pc -> uncheck advanced network functionality
Next time search my friend.
Close thread please!

> "start -> settings -> usb to pc -> uncheck advanced network functionality"
I recalled that option on my Hermes, but it appears different on the TP. I don't have the "advanced network functionality option. Attached are the options I see under Start->Settings->Connections->USB to PC. Only get options for ActiveSync and Disk Drive modes. Disk Drive mode disables activesync and hence MyMobiler.
I did a pretty extensive search using the the forum search option as well as site specific google with terms/combo's like usb, activesync, wifi, enable, internet connection, sharing,... but didn't find anything related to allowing phone wifi use while connected to a PC which is connected to the internet.

I have a Topaz and I experiened a similar problem - Internet Connection Sharing comes on automatically everytime I plug a USB cable between it and my computer, but I didn't activate it - the mode was supposed to be "Disk Drive Mode" on settings\connections\USB to PC, but there was no option to disable it either.
I had just found the solution -
1. with USB cable disconnected, select "Ask me first" on the USB to PC setup, click OK.
2. Connect USB cable to PC. The 3 choices come up from a HTC setup screen:
o Activesync
o Disk Drive
* Internet Connection Sharing
o Don't ask me again
DONE
QUICKLY click "Disk Drive" radio button AND check "Don't ask me again" AND click Done below it BEFORE internet connection sharing comes up. It will now stay in disk drive mode.
See if it works?
Hi, i set "usb to pc" connection to "USB disk" but every time i connect my touch pro via usb to pc, it automatically starts "internet sharing" and connects to the web...
What can i do to fix it? i can't pay 1€ every time i connect my phone to PC
Thanks
open up settings, then tab over to connections and enter in to the "USB to PC".
check the box that says "ask me first about my usb connection...".
you might need to soft reset your phone after this. i had to do it to mine.
Thanks, you drove me to the solution.
Here is the reason of the problem:
When you go to "USB to PC" and check the box "ask me first about my usb connection...", next time you select an option from the menu (the gray one that pops up when you insert the USB cable in your phone) it becomes a kind of default. So i selected "internet sharing", and every time i connected myphone it started internet sharing.
The solution was:
1- go to settings\connection\USB to PC
2- select ask me first about my usb connection
3- connect phone via usb
4- grey menu pops up, select "usb disk" (2nd option) and press "Close"
5- remove cable, put in again
6- everything is fine now
The strange thing is that if you go to settings\connection\USB to PC and select "usb disk", this operation does not solve the problem. You have to set it by the grey menu....
Bye all
I'm having a similar problem, but no amount of checking, unchecking and soft resetting will get me back to the HTC pop-up menu about what type of connection I want. I can force several different behaviors using the USB to PC settings page:
1. "Ask me first" checked, ASync radio button selected, "Enable faster connections" checked: the phone connects to my PC as a network adapter (1692540.2.xxx subnet, which I think is the standard for the Async faster connection mode), I see no activity on the phone at all (except normal "on charge" stuff, and once the PC gets an IP address on the phone's LAN I see no activity on the PC. Async does not sync, although if I open it on the phone it appears to be trying to. Async on the PC never recognizes the device
2. "Ask me first" checked, ASync radio button selected, "Enable faster connections" un-checked: Async connects and syncs as expected, still no HTC pop-up on phone, but I do see the Async USB "host authenticated" and so on messages on the phone
3. "Ask me first" un-checked, ASync radio button selected, "Enable faster connections" un-checked or checked: Internet sharing comes up automatically when I connect the USB cable. Sometimes it sets itself up and connects successfully, sometimes not - I haven't been able to detect a pattern. Shutting down ICS does not make Async start working, however
4. "Ask me first" un-checked or checked, Disk Drive button selected:
Card comes up as removable storage on PC, no HTC pop-up no matter what
The only thing I can think of that might have affected this is that I tried using WMWifiRouter's 3G to USB mode a few weeks ago. I can't be sure that's when I started having this problem, but it was around that time. So... anyone have any thoughts? It seems to me that ICS is somehow now trying to launch every time.
Note that before a few weeks ago the USB connection was working exactly as expected - I got the HTC pop-up menu and could select a type of connection, I could turn the menu on and off using the "ask me first" setting or the "remember this" in the pop-up.
EDIT: So I fixed the pop-up issue. Went into the registry and switched the key HKLM\Software\OEM\USBtoPC\DisablePopUpUI from 0 to 1 (which should disable the pop-up that's already disabled...). Plugged in my USB cable and, as I'd expect, no pop up. Switched that key back to 0 and, whaddyaknow, my pop-up is back. Your guess is as good as mine about why the phone wasn't recognizing that switch. So that part's fixed - now I just have to figure out why my "advanced network" Async connection stopped working. I realize that's a whole issue in and of itself.
EDIT2: Now Async with advanced network is working again. I changed the reg key in HKLM\Software\OEM\USBtoPC\EnableAdvanceChecked from 0 to 1 (although is, also, appears to be changing with the checking and un-checking of the box in settings, so I'm not sue why doing it manually changes anything...) The only other thing I can come up with is that previously when ICS was coming up automatically it was causing the network adapters on the phone some confusion with IPs so the computer couldn't see the phone on the virtual network adapter set up for sync. That's a real shot in the dark, but I'm happy to be back in business regardless...
Hi,
When connecting a USB cable to my phone I used to get an option to select activesync or internet sharing, I accidentally selected internet sharing and now everytime I connect a cable it jumps straight to that and I can no longer sync my phone. I know there is an option in USB to PC but I don't have USB to PC under my connection settings, I have searched all over my phone and cannot find anything! Any help will be greatfully recieved.

..try to disable "Advanced Network" features
When i'm connecting my phone via usb, choose a connection type screen does not appear and i cant select the "disk drive" or "charge only" options. When i tap to change usb settings, it sends me to "portable hotspot & tethering"
Windows recognizes usb device
Phone is stock, some days ago updated to android 4.1
Try disabling usb debugging. On my Blade I have to do that if I want to mount it as usb storage.
My S and tablets doesnt need that though, but might be worth a shot.
Hmm interesting my phone turns usb debugging automaticaly on when i connect my device, tried hard reset, problem still remains
I see. I read about someone else having the same issue on JB. I guess its a bug or something.
I guess you either have to flash a custom rom or wait for an official update.
In the mean time, you could always use quick adb pusher. Much better than mounted usb storage (requires a working adb connection, which you should have if you have installed htc sync)
When I conect my GT-P3110 (Cyanogenmod 11) to my Windows 7 computer computer can't even see the tab or just show massage "unkown device". What's more on my tab I don't even have any notification about conecting and menu to choose type of conection (mass storage or camera).

I've got newest driver on my computer, and last nightly on my tab. On debbuging mode, computer conects to Tab, so on hardware level everything should be ok. I'm just unable to connect it normally, tab just play signal of pluging-in cable, but isn't charging, and as I said don't show connection notification.

the notification shows in status bar on me. shows usb debugging, click to deactivate.
maybe clean flash will fix yours.
Okay the solution is very simple <facepalm>
In settings > Storage > USB connection
None of the options had been chosen. I had to select one of them, and now it works normally.
Thanks for help.
