When I would connect my phone to my computer I used to get a little pop up that would ask if I wanted to start Active Sync or just wanted to go into removable media mode. There was also an option to default to one or the other and not pop up the message anymore.
I must of accidentally hit that because I'm just going straight into removable media mode and never get the options to try Active Sync. Anyone know how to re-enable this option?

Try.....
Start | Settings | Connections | USB to PC and you'll be able to tick the box that says "Ask me first about USB connection...."

cheers
i never did sort this, endded up flashing the rom to get the menu back, extream but i needed it!
Well ive accidently ticked the box not to show it again!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhhhhh dam it!
HOW DO I GET THE MENU BACK??????????
PLEASE
lol.. i've never clicked it and i have no idea how to get it back.. but just throwing something into the air.. maybe you should search the registry regarding "USB to PC" and see if there's a parameter key which you can change.
I am running WM 6.1 (Michyprima Full) and I wanted to flash to another ROM, however for some reason my phone will no longer connect to activesync on the desktop (tried two pcs). It can sync just fine via exchange.
Nothing has changed on the mobile device or the desktop; ActiveSync on the mobile device is set to allow connection via USB and activesync on the desktops is set to use USB to sync.
I know the underlying connection is ok because the device will start charging from the USB cable when it is hooked up.
What can I do to fix this situation so I can flash to a new ROM? I do not need to save anything on the device... I have tried soft-resetting.
EDIT: Also when I list USB connected devices on the desktop PC, I see one called "Windows Mobile-based Device"
did you use a ram cleaner
i used a ram cleaner and my device dosent get recognised by pc.let me know if you find a solution.

Have you tied going to Start/Settings/System (or Connections) and running USB to PC? Try unchecking 'Enable enhanced network' then OK back to the start screen and try reconnecting.
If that doesn't work, try a hard reset with the current ROM, and see if that fixes it. If so, you can then flash the new ROM.
If it still doesn't work, I think you can flash using a memory card or the Flash Drive without needing to access the PC.

Have you tried completely uninstalling ActiveSync from your computer, reboot, download and re-install ActiveSync. Its worked for me - sometimes the USB drivers become corrupt.
When I try and hit ok to commit the change of unchecking the advanced network functionality (it was checked before), the device just sits there with the spinning thinking wheel. Doing a soft reset and going back into the usb to pc shows the box still checked.
I will try a hard reset.

I think thats the only answer at present- the inability to change the A/S settings on the device suggest something's got corrupted somewhere
I was able to get it to sync after a hard reset.
However, when I attempted to load Michy's light ROM the device rebooted and sat at "Loading..." with a white screen. The wrapper then said error connection failed.
If I soft reset the device it comes back to the loading... screen; if I hard reset the device, it comes back to the loading screen after the hard reset. How can I fix this?
blast. left the stupid sd card in while i did the first flashing.
Removed SD card, re-hard resetted, then re-ran the ROM updater.
Sometimes its OK, sometimes it isn't- just one of those little mysteries I guess!
Glad its OK now. Michy's Lite ROM is excellent
Solution for deleted active sync notification called replog
YES...you guys definitely ERASED your Active sync NOTIFICATION file called replog. As someone suggested...he ran his CLEANER...then the problem begun.
It is true that Hard Reseting the device will get you back that file, but there is an easy way to do it...I can't find the original article but this file I will post will RE-CREATE that deleted replog notification file that is needed by active sync to work.
So next time you try and clean-up...just make sure you won't delete any file named replog
To use this FIX, just place it on your SD Card and run the file. If you want you can create an icon at Windows>Start Menu>Programs>to whatever folder... that will work too for easy access.
Just a word of caution...DON'T RUN THE FILE MORE THAN ONCE...why? Because it will re-create the file again. Although it won't hurt in any way except eat up internal memory, but you don't want any duplicated file... right?
My pc says my connection settings in my phone need to be changed. I don't remember changing anything and I don't know what to change them to.
My phone tells (after a failed connectoin) me there is a connection error and opens MEdia net settings. I don't know what that would have to do with anything. I know I haven't changed them. There is no need. When this problem came up I tried changing some things, they didn't work, so I put them back. This is the same PC I always connect the phone to. I don't know what has changed other than i was gone for a month for work.
I need help please.
the last flash was Energy ROM 20090801 standard

Have you played with your USB to PC settings, untick\tick "Enable Faster Data"
If not, delete your sync relationship and establish a new one.
Yeah, I did both of those already. the only thing I can think to do is push the little button call "Wipe Device". then flash a new rom. I'm worried I will not be able to flash after that though.
I'm scared
Something is messed up... Sounds like a hard reset or a reflash is in order.....
Do you get the connection option screen when you plug it in to USB that says connect as:Active Sync, Modem or hard drive?
Usb Problem
From what i have seen, it can be the usb wire

Could be true. My usb wire at my studio is bad and I always have to curve it to make it work.
I might be mistaken, but I think I got a similar message a while back. I changed the setting in File->Connection Settings-> This computer is connected to: The Internet
And that did the trick for me...
Hi,
I am a newbie to Android. I have no idea how to even start to fix it.
It's only been three days since I received my new phone and its already crashing.
Right now, my OS is not even starting properly
error:
The application Launcher(process com.android.launcher)has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
It flashes every time. Can anyone help me with this?
P.S. I tried connecting the device to the Laptop and the phone wouldn't connect using USB and the Loading circle will circle around and then the phone will go to sleep mode after I power it back on, it still will not be connected.
did you try a factory reset?
go to settings.
go to accounts and sync.
press your google account.
make sure everything is checked off (especially your contacts).
at this point you may want to reboot your phone and give it a few minutes if there were unchecked items that now need to sync with googles servers. After you have done that...
go to settings.
go to privacy.
make sure "back up my data" and "automatic restore" are checked with the green check marks.
then select "factory data reset"
!!WARNING YOU WILL WIPE ALL THE DATA OFF YOUR PHONE. IF YOU DO NOT USE GOOGLE TO BACK UP YOUR CONTACTS YOU WILL LOOSE THEM ALL!!
If you haven't tried this all ready you can give it a try. I have done it 100's of times (in the last year).
I already did this.
I think the launcher is working, but now the USB storage is being detected.
I thought that if I root the phone, it would be easier. I made the phone to Debug mode and my laptop(windows 7) is not recognizing the device.
As the title says, I use a mac and I have been unable to use both my M7 (After 4.4 Update) and my M8 on my mac. To be specific, android file transfer never sees the phone. Occasionally when booting my phone up when connected the manager pops up with a phone could not connect message, but it has never worked. This is isolated to just HTC phones for me, I verified my setup is fine with a Note 10.1 2014 (running 4.4.2), Nexus 5 (4.4.2), and a S4 (4.2). All of those connect fine.
I know there were some threads about HTC breaking something but I haven't seen a fix yet. Is there one?
If you're rooted, try DriveDroid. Let it acquire root, skip the setup, then tap on the Settings icon on the bottom bar. Then tap USB Settings and select Manually Change Permanent USB Mount. Select Media Transfer Protocol Android Debugging. Now connect your device. You should be good to go.

When I connect my phone to my mac a install for HTC Sync manager comes up. You might have to use that

I hope not. I Loathe HTC Sync. Damn thing never quits right, doesn't run particularly well, and I just don't want another service running if I don't really need it. When I'm done with finals though I will try that. I have a bad feeling your right though...
If you restart the computer with the phone still plugged in, Android File transfer will work.
