Hello all - I ran into a problem with my phone and a new car. I have a car equipped with the Ford Sync software and when I plug the phone into the USB port it starts playing some navigation route I took about 6 months ago. It continuously connects and disconnects. It never acts like it is going to charge the phone which is all I really want it to do.
Is there a way to change a setting that will tell the phone to only charge and not try to sync any data like there used to be on my WinMo phone?
you have to drag the status bar down ( top of screen with time, battery,usb, ect)
when usb is connected you will see
ongoing
tap on usb connection
select charge only or try windows media sync or usb mass storage
if you don't see this when connected to car
try a computer, phone will remember setting

Recently my TC2 has stopped charging from the USB connected to the computer. It is recognised and still syncs. When I do it from a plug direct, or from car charger, it charges?
I am using MS Vista, so could it be a "fix" that has been automatically downloaded or is it a problem with the device? I have checked the cable, replaced it, and moved it to a differnet USB port but to no avail. I have also checked the ports in device manager and they all appearto be running correctly.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks
In your power settings have you got "when device is turned on do not charge battery when connected to pc" make sure it's not checked.
Doh! How simple I don't know how I missed that.
Thanks very much for that meknb.
I just got a 2010 Infiniti G37. It has a USB port, but no aux input and no Bluetooth audio streaming (wtf Infiniti?). It reads and plays iPods and iPhones just fine. I can not get it to recognize my android phone at all (Motorola triumph running stock 2.2 rooted). It will recognize flash drives though. I think the problem with the phone is it takes a few seconds to click 'connect USB storage' and then 'ok' before it reports itself as a mass storage device. By that time the car is already reporting an error. I have tried with debugging on and off... Makes no difference. So, is there any tweak, app, or hack I can do to force my phone into USB mode (without the prompts) every time I connect it?
This is actually a pretty important feature to me and I'm disappointed I can't get my phone and new car to play nice. Might even consider switching to an iPhone if there is no other option. Please help.
Thanks.
the MIUI rom im running has an option to auto mount when plugged in to a usb port. hope that helps

Anyone?
Also would HTC Desire charger work with it? (the sticks looks same - microUSB, but looks like the phone is not charging)
Also if the phone is dead, is there any way i can check if the battery/screen or whatever else is faulty?
When i connect it under Windows with USB cable, it says that the device cannot be recognized and the drivers cannot be installed.
When connected with USB, i did hold the power button to turn it on but it doesnt start and the phone keeps vibrating continuusly.
Look on the back, or inside, even under battery, for more information.
I already know it's Samsung Galaxy Mini II, homever i have issues turning it on.
All microusb chargers are the same except for amperage. Try all you have. This phone is probably terminally damaged, but try a new battery if possible.
It's really strange (the phone was little wet) homever, sometimes it's starting just fine and sometimes wont turn on at all.
I have removed battery and put it to the bowl with a rice for a night and will see if that helps.
My "dampness" recovery is to disassemble and put phone/tab/laptop in in very low oven ie 125-135 degrees F for several hours. You may have ti turn oven on & off manually to get that low temperature. Your mileage may vary.
OK so basically the phone is in following state:
It's charging fine, homever the biggest problem atm is i cannot get the usb mass storage to work.
I'm connecting it to the PC and the phone is detecting it as AC charger not USB - PC is not even trying to install any drivers.
PC is not detecting the phone at all (phone is detecting that its being connected, the button backlights are lighting up)
I got no dropdown in the phone to select charging, mass storage etc. (when i do it in settings/communication/usb settings it keeps saying to connect the usb cable, but the phone is charging so its connected just fine)
When i was connecting it for the first time windows tried to install drivers but failed, also it was constantly disconnecting the phone from usb cable (now its fine it seems)
When i connect it using "Kies Air" it's working homever i still dont see the SD Card in "My Computer" for example.
What a mess, anyway any idea how to get the USB working again?
Try different cable, and/or different PC.
I ordered new usb cable, homever i doubt it's the problem as the phone is recognizing connection and also it's charging fine.
Hi all,
I apologise in advance if this has been answered somewhere here before, but I couldn't find anything on Google or using the forum search.
Background:
I usually have USB connection set to Media device (MTP) and this works for 99% of devices. The one thing that's causing me issues is the USB connection on a Hyundai i30. As soon as it is connected, it starts to scan for music to play. However after approx 5 seconds the connection drops, then it attempts to reconnect again. This causes the radio to toggle off in the car repeatedly each time it tries to reconnect and worse, ends up draining the battery on the N5 instead of charging it.
Current Workaround:
I've been able to avoid the issue by deselecting both MTP and PTP in the USB connection settings which allows the phone to charge properly.
TL/DR - Hoping for an easier way to change USB mode:
Does anyone know of any widget that exists that can toggle this from the homescreen? It's a pain to have to go all the way to USB connection each time I have to get in the car, then to remember to change it again next time I'm using anything else. Bootloader unlocked and rooted BTW.
Got my Pixel 3 XL yesterday and absolutely love it...
Just in case anyone else experiences issues I thought I would post this - did an online chat with Google and they think it might be a bug in the OS.
Connecting to my PC or Car, the device was showing the USB options when you swipe down for notifications permanently on Charging Only. Even changing this from that drop down had no effect. I could see the device on my PC but unable to view files/folders and unable to copy anything to the device. Similar symptoms in my car, the device would charge fine but no matter what I did it wouldn't connect to my Infotainment System.
To fix this I had to enable Developer Options, scroll down to Networking and there is a "Default USB configuration" setting. This was set to "No data transfer", I changed it to "File transfer" and rebooted and now everything works fine.
Hopefully this might help others :good:
Does your phone fast charge while using Android Auto?
I don't think so, how can I check that.
I've only had the device a couple of days now but have noticed that when I'm using it in the car running Google Maps and streaming music via AA it still seems to charge.
Doing the same on my original Pixel XL I would loose 1-2% over about 30-40 mins, not sure if that's just because the battery was starting to deteriorate.
Thanks, but for some reason that didn't work for me. Tried this with and without USB debugging and car is just not seeing the phone for AA, but charges it fine. Also tried 4 different cables just in case, if I plug in an S8+ to any one of those cables it works perfectly with the car.
