active sync screws up my keyboard?

I don't know why, but ever since i got my USB keyboard.
when i plug my phone in to active sync my keyboard and mouse acts up.
it's like it turns it self on and off.
i type or move for 5 seconds then it stops.
it also seems like it seems to be moving between windows?
like and alt-tab kinda thing.
cuz the IE window would got active and unactive.
am i making any sense?
does anyone else have this problem?
thanks!

bump, please help.

Active synce used to work great on PC but now it's acting up.
I recently replaced my KVM switch with a USB one, so i can use my USB keyboard and wireless mouse.
but ever since I did this, when i plug my phone in to active sync my keyboard acts up.
it's like it turns it self on and off.
for example, I'm chatting with someone, i type for 5 seconds then it stops, and i have to click on the window again.
am i making any sense?
does anyone else have this problem?
the PCI usb port has 4 ports, on it, it has an external 4 port USB hub, 1 usb cable that i use to plug my phone in to sync or d/l pics from my camera, and one port for the KVM switch. could it be my USB port is overloaded?
So i decieded to plug my phone into a USB port on the motherboard. the same problem happens!
so does it rule out my PCI usb ports were over loaded?
I also tried just leaving in the KVM and plugging in the phone. the samething happens!
does anyone know what could be causing this? I installed and reinstalled active sync many times.
Please help me!

hmmm !strange behavior,I'm using both a usb Logitech wireless keyboard and a usb cordless Logitech MX 1000 Laser Mouse.I have also got a separate usb cable attached for my phone,which I use very regularly,but have never had any sort of problem.
Although, I have eight usb ports on my PC,I have plugged each to a separate usb port,well as there are some usb ports in your PC which are cable to work as usb2 while are cable only usb1 data transfer.Checkout and try to connect to ports with usb 2 data transfer capable,check if it works.
secondly,disable 'connection through usb' option in the Activesync and connect the phone with the pc via usb cable and check or there's another option in the Activesync to enable connection through network connectivity or something,as I don't have the Activesync installed in my PC at present ,I can't tell you about it at present.
thirdly,which windows are you using ? if you are using winxp than upgrade to sp2 ,it'll upgrade your usb drivers automatically or download usb update drivers from Microsft site and update your usb drivers,hope it'll solve this problem.
Cheers

Thanks, but i don't know how to get active sync to connect thru network?
all the usb ports on my computer are usb 2.0 except for 2.
i tried it on all the usb ports and i get the same results.
thanks in advance.

This option enable network connections or somthing is available in the settings option of the Activesync.Right click the small icon in the Task bar of Activesync near the clock icon and you'll get the settings option,check out if this helps,good luck

Thanks, but i found out what caused the problem.
Logitech Set point caused it! are you using setpoint?
I disabled setpoint and now it works fine.
sigh...

Captivate will not connect to computer

I'm trying to unlock my dads old Captivate, but I need to connect it to the computer to do this. No matter what I do, this phone will not connect or be recognized by the computer. I plug it into the computer and it makes the little beep it makes when you connect, but thats it. No "USB Connected" on the top bar or anything.
I can connect my captivate fine, its just his. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and that wont work. Any ideas?

Do you have the drivers installed?

Ye, the drivers are installed. Would it be a driver problem though if my one captivate works, but the other? That sounds like a phone problem to me.

Settings> applications>usb(something or other)> mass storage.
Also make sure usb debugging is enabled...
The froyo settings might be different...the usb options could be in "wireless and network" instead of applications.

Nope, that doesnt work either. Its like its not even connected. Nothing showing up on my computer, nothing on the phone. The only thing that shows up when you plug it in is the charger icon comes on to let you know its charging.

i would recommend that you try another computer if that doesn't work, restore your phone to factory and if that doesn't work then you have two out of three possibilities that might lol, be seriously i think its not a drivers issue if the other phone is working. It might be a problem with the computer recognizing the port i really cant think of anything else..

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

If it's not connecting to either captivate it's a driver issue. Make sure that USB debugging is on and that under the application usb setting you have it set to ask on connect. Try a different usb port on the pc, or another cable. I had a bad cable a while back that would charge but not connect, it was even the one that came with the phone.

Use a USB port off the back of the computer, coming DIRECTLY off the MB. There have been tons of issues with using remote USB ports. If it's beeping when it connects, it's being seen by the computer. Just that there's a problem with getting the proper info.

I get this problem sometimes too. This is how I solve it. Under USB settings select Samsung Kies and plug the USB cable into your computer and phone. See if your computer recognizes your phone. Mine won't recognize Mass Storage but will Kies. I don't have the program installed so windows will say Drivers Not Successfully Installed. Once you have done that, restart the computer and phone with USB cord unplugged. Once both come back on, switch your phone back to Mass Storage and plug in your USB cable to both the computer and phone and see if it will be detected by your computer. If not I would try a different USB cable. That is what works for me when I have that problem.

Some cappies have issues with generic cables. Make its the original or a high quality one.

Would be a good idea to check if the following
1. Settings- applications- USB settings : make it ask on connection.
2. Change the USB port which you connect

Windows 10 - USB Device Not Recognised - Phone Still Charges (Sometimes)

Hello,
For a while now, my phone when connected to the PC at home, it says USB Device not recognised - however the phone says charging on the screen, so it indicates that it is working somehow (i guess) - most likely it isn't working - the same cable wire works perfectly fine when charging the phone via the wall plug.
Anyone having/had problems like this before? Everything on the PC is up to date. When i connect the phone to the PC at work, i can access the phone memory/pictures etc, the USB cable is not the one i use at home, tried the cable wire on 2 laptops and the phone is still not being recognised. So is the problem with the USB cable wire?
I'll have to check the USB cable wire that is at work (original OP) on my home PC and see if that makes any difference. I'm trying to access the phone via PC and take some screenshots (quite a lot) - Any pointers where i can start debugging?
Android 6.0.1
Cyanogen OS 13.1.2 (bacon)
Battery Status: Not charging (In the status settings)
Thanks
J

Think i've got it working now - well it works for my brothers phone - he had issues getting his phone recognised on the PC.
Following this YouTube video seems to have resolved the problem for him, pretty sure that issue will no longer apply to my phone.

can u give me the direct link ? thx

The link to what? The YouTube video?
Also, looks like the USB cable wire is faulty, so i've ordered a new one and going to check that to see if it picks up the phone on my home PC.

yes , the direct. i thought its my cable , but when i try on other laptop , its working.

Also had some issues with Android and Windows 10 recently. There was always some kind of issue with the MTP driver, so it showed up with an exclamation mark in device manager. Have you tried reinstalling the MTP driver? You can do that by navigating to C:\Windows\INF, right-click wpdmtp.inf and click install.
That's what fixed it for me.

Question Phone no longer being recognized by computer. Not even getting a prompt on phone when plugged in.

As the title states, my phone is no longer being recognized by my computer when I plug it in. I've tried multiple cables, multiple ports on the computer, both ports on the phone, factory resetting the phone, uninstalling and re-installing drivers on my computer, booting to Ubuntu so I wouldn't need to worry about drivers. Nothing has worked. I'm not even getting the USB prompt on my phone when I plug it in. It DOES charge but I'm not able to transfer files, adb or anything. ASUS wants me to send the phone in but I don't want to go who knows how long without my phone, plus I don't think it's right that I have to pay to ship it when it's their phone that is ****ting the bed. Could anyone PLEASE help me? Thanks.

If your phone won't connect to the computer using the USB cable, then the FIRST thing most people do you've done, which is switch cables and rebooting the phone (factory reset is extreme but you did that also).
The second thing most people do is install the manufacturer's drivers, which you also did.
The third thing you can do though, is connect the phone to the computer WITHOUT the USB cable (i.e., over Wi-Fi) because that will work even if your phone port is broken and even if the USB cables are bad and even if the drivers aren't on the computer.
Below are screenshots of just some of the ways to connect the phone to the computer over Wi-Fi without any cables, and if you want, you can follow one of my tutorials on the subject.
Hope this helps.

Would I still be able to adb using the wifi method? My main issue is trying to remove the old Google Pay app. Which I'm unable to unless it's through adb.

Just an update. I was, in fact, able to run adb commands while connected using wi-fi. Thank you @GalaxyA325G for your input.

Not sure what to tell you about your signal dropping, but
is the video I used to finally use adb via WiFi.

Have you tried clearing the adb authorizations (in developer options) with the phone disconnected and then connecting? Sometimes a change can trigger the phone to stop recognizing the computer as allowed without treating it as a new connection.

Sounds like you're stuck with WiFi or the repair then.

Question S22 ultra samsung dex

My s22 ultra suddenly does not work on dex. Theres no way to access the sd via a pc either.
I was using this exact setup and it worked fabulously.
As far as i know i went to bed one night and it didnt work the next time i went to use dex.

Reboot phone and pc? Is the phone recognised when connected? Try another cable, does it work on a different pc. Do other USB devices connect ok etc etc

i have rebooted both phone and pc. Same cable as when it did work infact the samsung original that came with the s22. My s9+ does not connect. Both phones DO charge via usb c.
I have infact reinstalled my pc and resest my phone to factory trying to fix this.
Still to no avail.

Does it connect to another pc? Usb pc hub might have failed

its a brand new laptop and it does power the phones. and it all did work fine. i can even power my usb c vape through the same port
there is not an alternative machine to test on

actually i just thaught of this, the last night i was using it i had the standard popup on my phone asking to allow dex to run. An ok responce and cancel or not now responce, i dont remember exactly.
Could this have done something if i hit cancel

also could there be something in the pc bios i may have not realized could effect this. Since i was on the same night trying to boot to a usb linux pendrive

When you connect your phone can you access its files on your pc? Is it recognised as drive

Ok so ive even reset the bios to system defaults and tried a regular usb to usb-c and still nothing

could it have anything to do with the phone usb connection settings. When you plug in a usb otg it normally would give an option for transfer or charge etc on the phones pull down menu and all its doing is saying fast charging

Try phone on another pc

Absolutely everything else works through usb mate.

What else can you access via USB. Drives, devices?

well i can access the standard usb port with an sd card reader. read write and even installed windows off it. So this usb to usb c should work fine.
If it were just the usb c hub blown this would not be the case.

im currently trying to see if i can run a lubuntu through usb bootable key and try to access the usb c ports from that.
I have been reading about my laptop and apparently it has a reputation of usb issues. lenovo x1 yoga gen 2 on win 10

Solved. During a bios update it appears the bios setting for thunderbolt usb-c was changed to disabled. As soon as i discovered this and rebooted it worked so if anyone is having issues with this they may want to check there bios settings.
4 days of struggling over. Dang its nice to beat a computer once in a while.

Do you have Link to Windows enabled on your phone? If so, turn it off and try running DeX.
