Hey, yes, I know there are already several threads about this but I am a bit confused. My Set up: CDMA Hero CM 6.1 stable. Me being a newb for the most part to all of this...I just found out the other day...after have a rooted phone for about 6 months...that my hero can do wireless tether. So I installed the app and bam...works like a charm, immediately after installing and running for the first time, my ps3 DID detect and connect to my phone wirelessly. I even played a round of free-for-all on Black Ops to test it out and it worked great. Now today I had some down time so I figured I'd play some COD...but now my ps3 is NOT detecting or connecting with my phone. WTF!? I should also mention that after installing wireless tether on my wife's rooted EVO(froyo), I was also able to connect through her EVO on the PS3. Haven't tried using the Evo again as it's currently not in front of me. Just curious why it worked then and not now, or why it even worked at all if the PS3 supposedly doesn't pick up ad-hoc?(From what I've gathered, Wireless Tether uses AdHoc) I do have full EasyTether, which I was using before I discovered WT, so I'm not SOL, but I was hoping to finally be able to eliminate the cords and wires and what not. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
*EDIT*
Wife just got back home, grabbed her evo, and what do you know...ps3 connects with no issues...so now I have to figure out what happened or what I did to my phone to "F" it up. I am running DroidWall...the firewall is disabled, wireless tether is checked on whitelist, but this was the case when my phone was connected to the ps3 before, but I'm thinking that perhaps this or some other app is interfering. Anything I should make sure is allowed or denied data access? I'm at a loss.
^Bump^ Please...any ideas
I'm trying to transfer some mkv's over to the Xoom into the Movies folder. I'd like to try to play them in RockPlayer. However when I try to transfer the files, the prompt pops up saying the Xoom might not be able to play this type of file and do I want to continue. I hit continue and the transfer pops up but it never appears to transfer. Anyone have an issues like this?
Edit: I just tried transfering simple photo's over to the Xoom, I can't even transfer those. After waiting for the file to transfer it eventually pops up saying the device is either disconnected or unreadable.
There is a difference with WiFi vs.3G xoom. I had the Verizon version and returned it. purchased the wifi version today and noticed immediately that my app NBA game time doesn't work but it did on the Verizon version. Something is up but I can't say what was changed. GPS works but the app just closes when it is launched. So, stuck with watching the laker game on EVO.
Do you have the correct drivers installed?

yes, I made sure to reinstall them directly from motorolas website.
Well I think the problem was that I just used my HTC Micro USB cable since it was already plugged into the computer to transfer files to the Xoom. I started to think about it and since the HTC cable could be used to charge my EVO, perhaps it was the problem. I switched cables and it is now working without a hitch.
There is absolutely something odd and unique about the USB cable that comes with the 3G version. I can NOT use the one that came with my Nexus. Grrr.

Ugh. this is no better than having a proprietary cable...
I used my micro usb cable for my samsung captivate and it worked fine transferring files with the xoom.
I bought a 6ft Micro USB off of Monoprice and it works with my EVO and WiFi Xoom just fine.
I can mount the xoom wifi on my pc at work but can't mount it on my macbook pro. I have tried three different cables but no go. Is there something different for the mac other than plugging in?
You may have to fiddle with your settings in your system control panel... would be my guess for getting it working on a MacBook.
I used the micro usb from my thunderbolt and it works fine on my mac to xoom.. for mac, make sure you have the android file transfer software installed coz it wont recognize the xoom as an external drive.

I was having the same problem. I used the cable that came with the Xoom Wifi and everything is working now. Now i just have to make sure i don't get this cable mixed up with my other moto cables.
hi,
I can't download "android file transfer" from android.com in my country (weird google policy!). anyone knows an alternative or mirror link for download? I tried using VPN but somehow it detects I'm connecting from the same region!
thanks
I'm not really sure what that warning relates to. I can say that mkv playback on the zoom is pretty bad even using the handbrake profile that was floating around that creates flawless HD mp4s. With the same source I got audio outs within a few seconds on the mkvs and no problems with the mp4s. Avi files that had warnings played just fine.

I have tried installing drivers, tried checking usb-debugging, tried different ports, bought a new usb-charging set, tried other types of cables, tried changing the ask on connect to usb mass storage, tried factory reset.....Nothing works. But I can charge my phone just fine. *sigh* Any advice? haha
So does your phone charge? If so you know its not the port on the phone. Would think it would be drivers or usb port on computer.
Are you trying to use a usb 3.0 port? In my experience they don't work at all.
The phone charges fine. And the USB ports are definitely 2.0 not 3.0.
It's very frustrating. I've never had this problem before when trying to root.
Usually it's oh, I forgot to wipe the delvik cache. Not oh, my phone won't connect to my computer. haha
Try a different computer to make sure the problem can be reproduced first.
Usb buses can have problems.

just tried a different computer and different cables. Both didn't work.
Try using the cable that came with your Charge. I've found mine to be very picky on what cables it will work with, but the original has always worked.
I bought my charge second hand and it didn't come with a cable. I had to buy a stock oem cable for the droid charge on amazon and it doesn't work.
see if you can get into download mode and if odin will recognize it

haha unfortunately ive tried that to. no go
I'm assuming that I got an update pushed last night, because I woke up and my phone works. Case Closed.

Are you talking about OTA update? So your phone is pure STOCK? no rooted, no mod? What version? I thought OTA was done along time ago?
This happened to me before. I used the dialer code that let's you choose pda and I unchecked pda then re checked it. Im at work, maybe someone can post the thread. Good luck.

Sounds like you are using a "charge only" USB cord. Do you have the one that came in the box with your Infuse?

USB not working
When I try to connect to the computer to transfer music or whatever to the Infuse it won't let me. I plug in the data cable click mass storage, click connect USB I get "do you want to scan and fix". If I click scan and fix I get "check disk options". Any combination of the check boxes will make the phone disappear and starts the scanning process, like I had disconnected it. I'm running Zeus 6 w/ICS theme for build 6. Is there any special way these disks should be formatted? Any help would be appreciated.
Wow! Nothing?
Now when I plug in to the computer it doesn't even recognize the phone. It's like I never plugged it in. The phone will still asks kies/media/mass storage. I click mass storage then click connect to PC then nothing. It's almost to the point of going out on the deck and teach this phone how to fly.
my infuse is doing about the same thing.
plug it into the wall...nothing.
try different outlet...nothing.
try different charger and cord...nothing.
plug it into my computer...starts to charge only, no usb mode.
computer says "one of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it.
ANY HELP?

I had the something happen yesterday. I restarted phone and pc but same thing. Ended up cleaning the mini usb port on the phone with an old toothbrush (and nothing else) and it started working again! Must have been some crap in there or something.

All of a sudden I can charge but laptop won't recognize Infuse - any idea how to fix? It's not a cable or port or computer problem. I've tried on multiple machines with cords and various ports.
I just installed Unofficial CM10 JB 8/11 and have had this problem for the past few days.
Any idea how to fix? Not sure if it's the rom or what? Thanks!
Uh oh... sounds like you have my old problem with my infuse.... the usb controller may have died, usb port should be fine however. I had a pro unbrick my infuse because it was bricked and wuldnt connect to anything (mobiletechvideos) and he figured out that something usb was broken. For free he replaced the hub but still didnt work. He had to perform jtag to get it working (extremely complicated, requires taking the phone apart). He said it would be a lot easier and cheaper to just get a new phone hopefully your situation is different but goodluck, just saying whats happened to me, and some others have reported it happening.
