The problems with the device:
1. Applications dont download
2. USB Mode doesn't work
3. Unmounting the SD card doesn't work
Applications dont download, they just get stuck on starting download, we googled around and read solutions and none worked.
Now the USB thing, i plug the cable between the mobile and PC (Windows Vista) the mobile starts charging, and no USB notification comes up, in my computer, i go to My Computer and find 2 drives that are unaccessible.
Unmounting doesnt work either, i try to unmount the sd card and i get a message saying something like: The activity SD Card & Phone Settings ( in applicaiton settings) is not responding.
And sometimes we reboot the phone and suddenly everything works just fine o_o we reboot again, and then we get those 3 problems..
I would like to know why do those keep happening? Is there any way to stop those? and any solution for a permanent fix?
any help will be appreciated, thankyou.

You will get more help posting this in the optimus 3D forum here at xda. But I will try and answer what I can.
Try updating the software via lg update program for pc or via update app installed on phone.
The usb problem is likely because you don't have the usb drivers installed on your pc (use lg pc software to get them or download them from support section on the lg website).
What should happen when connected via usb is you see a notification on phone that you touch to enter usb storage mode.
If you bought this new then its under warranty and if you can't sort the problem you can get lg to fix it but check for help on optimus 3D forum first and if all else fails try a factory reset (its in the privacy section of settings on my optimus 3D).

You should update your drivers.

i didnt know there's a forum for the Optimus 3D, but i will check it out
About the update, i tried with my LG, but there its not available OTA, and i also tried with PC with the LG Updater tool and no luck :S
I have installed all the required drivers, its not a driver problem, its something else that i can't figure out...
And about the USB, yes i know that should come that notification, but here it doesnt come :S
We would like to get it fixed by ourselves, it would save a lot of time if it would be fixed.
But Thankyou

If his problem is anything like the one I have posted on (LG USB settings problem) and like MANY more that I have discovered here, the problem seems to be a Local (LG) phone device USB permission problem.
I could be wrong in this person's case, however. ZefonDecker376

Hi all
I have successfully flashed Cyanogen nightly on my phone. However, when I connect it to my PC, it doesn't give me an option to transfer files to and from my phone to my computer. All I see is the USB debugging on my notification bar. I have tried this advice from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13636060&postcount=1465
I have also installed the drivers from LG. When I use the support tool to update it, it says that they cannot find a connection between the phone and my computer. Would that possibly be an issue?
Thanks!
EDIT UPDATE: When I follow the instruction from the link above, I get an error saying "Windows found driver for your device but encountered an error while trying to install it.
LGE Android Composite USB Device
This device cannot start.(Code 10)
I hope I can get some help! Thanks again!
I'm gonna be home in a minute if you want me to upload the LG driver exe I used and know works I can.

Yeah, that would be great. Let me know when you can.
http://www.multiupload.com/W2Z7Z5S5GX
I really hope it works for you *fingers crossed*
Unfortunately that didn't work either.
What's weird is that when I connect my phone to my computer, that icon that lets you know that the USB is connected doesn't show up at all. The icon where you can select to copy files to/from your computer.
I've tried many things but haven't fixed this problem yet.
I really hope someone else can help sorry
Yeah, thanks for your help.
Have you tried restarting both the phone and the pc?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Yes I sure have. Any other suggestions?
When I try to update the LG drivers via the software support tool it gets stuck on checking the connection with the phone and tells me to unplug the battery, restart the phone, and try again. When I do that, I get the same problem.
I'm still working on this same issue. Today I used the ROM for recovery linked below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644
It worked and I was able to transfer files to my internal SD with the stock ROM. I then flashed CM7 once again but had the same problem. I then used the CM Nexus GB by Faux123 and once again had the same problem. When I plug in my USB, debugging icon shows up but the USB transfer doesn't show at all.
I find it weird that it worked with the stock ROM but not with either of CM7 or CM Nexus.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
I just recovered my phone from it bootlooping into the s/w screen but now i'm getting no data connection to my carrier. I'm guessing the only way to restore this problem is to use LG updater tool to flash the OTA 2.3.3 which also flashes a new baseband(which is what i need)
I have tried using LG tool but for some reason it keeps giving me errors saying usb connection error or can't connect to phone. I have tried 2 different cables so that can't be the problem. I'm running Windows 7 32 bit, do i need to have the phone on fully booted into android, or should i be running it on the s/w update screen?
You might have already done this but what I would recommend doing is re-installing G2x drivers and then try again.

Yea, but it never hurts to try again from scratch. Thanks for the input.

When you get the connection error try unplugging the USB cable, wait for the computer to beep to confirm the USB device driver has been unloaded, plug the cable back in and wait for the computer to beep to verify that the device driver is running again and then click the restart button on the LG Update. This happened to me once and this is how I fixed it. I ignored the message about pulling the battery. If that doesn't work then you need to search for the thread on the KDZ method and update your phone that way. KDZ method flashes the same ROM as the LG Updater.
Ya, i've tried just about everything including the kdz method. I even ran it on my friends xp computer but got the same results i did when i was on windows 7. LG tool and kdz just friggin hates my phone and computers i guess because i have followed all the threads and peoples advice and still can never get past the errors those programs keep giving me.
Please don't take this as a patronizing question, but did you install the LG USB driver package for T-Mobile phones? If you didn't then none of the above mentioned tools will be able to connect to your phone. Did you also turn off anti-virus, firewall, all background programs, etc. before trying to connect? If you did that and you still cannot connect go into control panel with your phone connected, find the LG Modem driver for the phone and disable it. The modem connecting first can prevent the phone from connecting in a mode it can be flashed. Then disconnect the USB cable and plug it back in. When the drivers load about ten devices should be installed. The first time my phone was plugged into my computer only two devices installed. I then reinstalled the drivers from the LG Updater program directly (not the ones downloaded from the LG TMO G2X driver page) and then the next time I plugged in my phone about eight new devices were S/W update mode more drivers get installed. This delay sometimes causes a communications error the first time, but unplugging the cable and reinserting it will sometimes fix the problem at that point.
I welcome your feedback
Yea I installed that driver where it loads 8-10 additional drivers for g2x. So I think I will try disabling the modem driver and restart the LG update tool. At this point I've tried just about everything but am willing to try any other suggestions, like yours, and thank you for the help.

Hey, i have had my sensation about 2 months, now when i connect it to a pc it dosnt ask what connection type to choose, it only charges, in the menu it is set to ask me about connection type, while connected to pc there is now no icon in the notification area (used to say 'charge only' or 'disk drive') even when rebooted into 4ext recovery and mounted/toggle usb connection, it dosnt connect as a disk drive like it has always done in the past, it only charges, i have tried 3 different pc's and 3 different micro usb cables, also have tried updating the firmware to 3.24 and installed ICS with the same result, i think its a hardware issue? last time it worked was 3 days ago connected via usb to a jvc headunit listening to my music files.
Weird problem!
Maybe you could try with a different SD card to eliminate the possibility of it being an SD card problem?
If it still doesn't work with another SD Card it may well be a hardware problem.

Well I had the same problem with the custom ROM I use.
Installing it clean with a full wipe solved it.
It is definitely NOT the pc, laptop or SD-card.
Are you on a custom ROM?
- Yes then install clean with full wipe. (make a nandroid backup!!!) and install all apps new.
- No then do a total reset (reset to factory settings) and do all the install stuff new. After that you can also install with RUU your ROM designated for your device.
You will see your USB connection will show up!!
same here
i have exactly the same problem as described in op.
will try flashing a new rom then also; first have to buy a flashcard reader then to get my new rom ON the sd card....
or do you think a nandroid restore would fix the problem? will try that first.
Will report back
The nandroid might restore the problem.I'd try it first.if not , then do the full wipe reinstall as said above .if at the time of the nandroid back up it was working is a good possibility it will fix the issue. Hope this helps!

Couple of tips that might fix your problem.
If you're running aokp make sure you disable fast charge.
Turn on mtp in USB computer connection settings. I have trouble accessing the options from most custom roms, so a little work around is to install either apex or nova, long press add to home screen - shortcuts - activities - scroll down to Settings - USB computer connection(com.android.settings.usbsettings) . Tap it and you should get a shortcut. Select mtp.
Ultimately, the thing that fixed my same issue was getting a different USB cable lol. You can also try different ports on your computer.
Good luck, hope you can find a solution to your problem! If all else fails, you can try using airdroid for transfer over Wi-Fi
Anyone find a fix on this , mine has started doing this yesterday :crying:
Tried 3 different cables , different usb ports , different sd card , formatting sdcards in 4xt recovery , reflashing firmware.... also htc sync re installed for drivers (htc sync does not see the phone), adb re installed (adb does not see the phone??)
dont think its the rom as adb cannot see the phone in fastboot
anyone any other ideas , tried ninjasalad suggestion on enabling mtp also ??
I think you're fine. I had this problem after flashing ARHD 6.6.X, OrdDriod series, and PkMn series. What I did was the following:
Went into settings. Connect to PC. Unchecked the "ask me" , Restart phone. Then checked "ask me" again. Lastly, restarted phone again.
After doing that a couple times, it worked for me. Maybe you can try that.
This happened to me as well. I think it's a hardware problem

check these
make sure you have enabled usb debugging mode from settings
install htc drivers
install htc sync(i am not sure if it is necessary)
use 2.0 usb ports
use the original usb cable if you aren't using it yet
wont work, screen broken

I can't do that because to enable usb debugging mode you have to use the phone and the phone's screen is completely broken and there's no way to even get into it using the touch screen.

Hello everyone! I state that is a month that I bought a LG Optimus 3D Gaming Edition and I have already made many changes: root, recovery, rom modified, etc. ... The other day, after having installed the rom Cyanogenmd, I was presented with a problem, my terminal is not cycled more (I was calm at other times because I had already sbrikkare) ......... as usual ...... I turned on the pc plugged it into the terminal in debug mode ... I noticed that the connection between the terminal and the PC was not stable (ie it connected and disconnected at infinity)! Later I also discovered that the terminal is not recharged and even now no longer know what to do! Please help me I'm desperate!
is there anyone?

Did you brick your phone dose it turn on? dose it just loop in download mode? volume down and power. If it loops in download mode then you probly hard bricked it i did that and had to take it back no way to fix it.
Thank you. Anyway I think I hard bricked the LG, why not start their own, even in download mode.The last choice is to take it in assistance?
Sorry for my bad English, I'm using google translator !
If you go to the thrill 4g forum and go to general and then the thread free assistance a guy there can try to help you if he can then youll have to tak it back if you can.

Hi all,
I too have done the same bull****. I formatted the SD and now the phone will not start: tried in recovery, in emergency, in normal mode, unfortunately there's no way to restart it.
Could you make a copy of your SD in RAW mode and try to give me the backup?
I extract the contents in my SD to try to start the phone.
Did you think that's possible?
Thanks
Just putt in your data cabel ond whait for the connecting sound. maybe putt itt in and out several times and the computer shall install the usb driver then run lg recovery tool. good luck sorry for my bad inglish

Thanks for reply.
I tried a lot of time on a lot of pc (windows xp, windows 7 32bit, windows 7 64 bit= without any fix.
I think the problem is due to the fact that the CM7 installs recovery, emergency mode, normal boot on SDCARD.
It's impossible to start the phone in any of the three options.
Just connect the smartphone on PC, the USB port continues to connect / disconnect (every second).
Probably with a raw image of the iso, maybe I can fix the issue, hoping that the required data are read from external memory and not form internal memory, also I have trouble: (
My phone was exactly like you're. Some how i started the phone in recovery mode butt screen is still black just a sound in computer and after several attempt computer install drivers and LG recovery tool worked. Hard to explain in words. Hope you fix it.
ok i need help please , i had gbread on it and installed superoneclick to get root then tried to flash cwm with vipermod. message said out of storage space or something (dont have ext mem only internal)and now phone will not turn on.
have followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244490 and phone was recognised by omapp but couldnt change the port in device manager and couldnt find a bin to download so i tried to flash a kdz v21a
clicked start on lgflasher but nothing happened so after about 5 mins i cancelled it thinking without the port change it was a waste of time.
now i cant even get omapp to flash up when i connect phone . device manager refreshes but i cant see anything change .

Where did you get vipermod from? The Transformer Prime forums? That's meant for the TFP and would not have worked with the O3D since it flashes to mmcblk0p4 rather than mmcblk0p. You should have used the flasher here.
Download this, this and this. Extract smartflash.zip, install both driver packages. Then, run Windows Enabler, in the notifications bar, click it and make sure it is set to 'on'.
Now remove your phone's battery and sim card, press volume up and connect your phone to the computer. Hold volume up until it is detected by the computer. It should take no longer than 20 seconds.
Now run B_SmartFlashTool_Extern.exe, go to rom copy d/l, select LGP920_CP.fls for CP bin and LGP920_AP.bin for AP bin. Make sure under communications setup that your phone is connected (verify the com port in device manager) and then click start. If all goes well, you'll have a stock v21D phone again
Thanks for the help guys but i'm not getting a com port when i connect the phone so i don't think i can use any of those methods . or can i
i want to go back to the beginning and see if omapp will detect phone and install drivers but i can uninstall the installer but dont think that will remove the drivers , does anyone know how to do that.(cos i think i messed that bit up )
thanks again
marty
vipermod , i think i followed a link somewhere in the o3d forum where someone said u could use it to flash cwm
so , i uninstalled all lg drivers uninstalled omap installer searched registry for for any mention of omap and deleted (some wouldnt delete ) .
restarted computer (xp by the way )
then installed omap installer and lg drivers and connected phone holding vol up
and................. NOTHING whereas yesterday i had a little icon in the task bar and the opportunity to install omap drivers.
conclusion , phone is dead , i had an oppurtunity to fix it yesterday and i blew it
hope someone tells me i'm wrong but its not looking good
marty
take off battery and just put your usb cable and tell us if it shows omap in your device manager
dont press keys
if i connect phone without battery device manager just refreshes a couple of times but nothing changes with regards to ports doesn't matter if i have vol+ button in power button in or nothing
thanks anyway
marty
am i getting somewhere
update : ok so i'm on a clean install of xp and i connected the phone with vol+ and it wants to install omap4430 drivers. is that good news?
i installed omapinstaller , then the 2 lg drivers ca and ma , then reconnected the phone and went thro omap driver install but still don't have any ports in device manager
is there no way i can force it to flash without it having to think it is connected cause if its recognising it as omap4430 there must be something there
don't want to give up on it too easy , if only i put this much effort into it whilst it was working lol
marty
evening all . new update
tonight i've installed the lg support tool and drivers and found that if i leave my phone connected i occasionally get "TI sample boards" popping up in device manager for a couple of seconds without having to press buttons , unfortunately it doesn't stay on for any longer with buttons pressed.
i was wondering how to force install the "LG CDMA composite usb device " drivers cos its never asking for them as it should according to the tutorial
hope someone can help cos i've seen a few threads with same problem as me
