[Q] Phone's confused - HTC Sensation

Hi guys
Something quite interesting, humorous, funny yet annoying is going on with my phone.
When my phone is plugged into the laptop, or any computer/device, the USB popup doesn't present itself and the phone has idea it is plugged into anything and just charges like it's plugged into the mains. However, when plugged into the mains charger, the USB notification pops up and the phone actually thinks it's plugged into some device like a windows machine. Weird huh?
Any ideas?
Thanks.

install htc sync or htc usb drivers in ur laptop. dnt knw about that issue

Thanks for replies.
Already have the naked drivers, tried 2 different cables and my current cable is an official htc charging cable and it's brand new.
cheers.

No headphones. It comes with a wall charger and usb cable.

New to Sensation

Picked one up on Craigslist last night. Great phone so far but need t root/rom...etc etc.
Problem I have is it didn't come with nothing but a wall charger (non removable cord).
None of my Samsung or Motorola USB cables seem to work when trying to connect to a PC. This normal for HTC phones? Do I really need a HTC Branded cable?
Not at all, You just need the HTC Drivers, Download HTC Sync, Or google the drivers...
I use various make / model chargers/ USB Cables, they work flawlessly.

You definitely need HTC original(or compatible) cable (in the end of the cable is USB port witch you connect in PC or in the charger, the other side of the cable you connect into the phone ) so you can connect the phone with PC and make the things easier
I think any micro USB 2.0 cable should work I used Nokia micro USB cable and just fine. But back to the question what you want to do with the cable. If you are using to OTG, hTC phone not supported.

[Q] is it possible to charge external device via sensation without usb otg?

Is it possible to charge external devices via sensation with usb otg cable ?
I have battery that charges via usb, and its 650 mah.... And I always have battery to spare on my sensation.... And sometimes I need to power that battery on the go....
So will sensation charge the battery ?.... Don't know if usb otg is only to recognise the device or what?

Really... No one ???
I didn't ask for usb otg.... I just asked will htc sensation provide power to external devices for charging purposes??
I know its a long shot it will, but there is always hope....
I don't have usb otg cable to try this...

No the hardware of HTC sensation is not suitable (till now observed) for giving output through otg cable.
Thats why whie using otg by SebastianFM kernel you need external power source.
No it's not possible.
The sensation's hardware doesn't support it.

Genuine HTC USB Cable

Hi guys
Anyone know where to buy a GENUINE usb cable? They are the only ones that work with ADB, as I have many micro-usb (blackberry,generic, etc) but only my HTC one actually works with ADB. Anyone know where to buy one?
Cheers
I've purchased a few from ebay that claim to be the real deal, the only thing that says htc is a removable stick which makes me doubt the authenticity but I assure you the work fine with
adb. they only cost around $2. there are tons of them on ebay, just search htc micro usb cable
if you want the exact link to what I bought let me know and ill post

I can tell you for a fact that is not true, I've never had the original cable since my brother gave me his G2, and I've been using a Nook micro-usb cable with my phone ever since I owned it on my computer.
A Genuine micro-USB cable is no different in communication than any other micro-usb cable, if you're using windows you probably just got the USB drivers wrong for your phone, or didn't download all of the platform-tools files. Again the only thing that makes the cable genuine is the htc/t-mobile logo on it, otherwise it's the same as any other OEM/Generic cable thats been branded.
PS: Did you remember to enable USB Debugging?
Thanks guys, I ordered one off ebay for £2 and yeah I did enable usb debugging

i have tried loads of different genuine micro usb cables from various makers and never had a problem...
shame i didnt see this earlier or i could have sent you about 20 for free :laugh:
So if USB Debugging is working is there no threat to using a generic USB cable? I have a generic one and rooted last night. The entire time I was nervous because there were a lot of posts about the official HTC cable. Was I worrying needlessly?
Yup, it is true some might not work but if they work once, well they should keep on working. Pretty much if you have debugging on and the proper drivers and everything else... then you type adb devices and you see your serial number, that cable is just fine. If it says waiting for device or something like that, then it is possible you have a bad cable but almost always a different problem

Thanks! That would have saved some needless worrying last night but it all worked out. Good to know for the future though!
Afaik, there are only two kinds of micro-USB cables. Normally they support both data and power (charging), but some only support charging (data pins aren't connected).
I bought some cheapest retractable micro-USB data cables from dx.com and they work just fine. The cheap retractable ones just seem to easily break after long use.

The most common chance of you getting a charge-only USB cable, is if it came with something like a Car charger. Otherwise they should always have both the power and data pins.

The usb lead, phone earth or PC has an issue where the capacitive screen is being altered by the voltage change. Try fixing the connection to the phone back, a different usb lead or another PC.
