Hi there, just wanted to check if anyone had similar issues. When I connect my Sensation XE via the USB to my laptop, the touch screen acts strangely in that when trying to tap something on screen its as if the screen is misaligned and it selects a different area of the screen. For example when trying to click on the button to turn on the usb storage function, the drop down notification bar is selected, even the home, menu, back buttons are affected and its difficult to do anything. I've experienced this when on the stock unrooted ROM and s-offed, rooted V. Inquisition ROM. I suspect its the usb ports on my laptop as it takes ages to transfer file across usb so hopefully it isnt a phone fault. Need to test on a different PC/laptop.
Try installing htc sync on your pc, it should give you the proper drivers and you will see if your computer is really the problem.

Think I had installed htc sync and uninstalled it, as part of the process of making sure the drivers were on there for rooting/s-off procedures, but I'll reinstall again to see if that helps, thanks.
it's an hTC sensation well known screen issue. specific devices have it, including me. this has no relation to drivers or what not. just a fault made by hTC engineers.
I have described issues when using my aftermarket charger. I think I read somewhere some chargers have faulty grounding.

I think my laptop may be to blame, the screen isn't laggy or unresponsive, but more like it is uncalibrated or misaligned. The issue only occurs when the phone is connected via USB cable. I have another USB cable attached to my pc in work for charging and the issue doesn't happen, I'm going to try it on another machine to see if the problem occurs.
My laptop is a bit dodgy so is suspect, the battery was faulty and stopped working, so had to remove it and run it from mains only, not sure if this would have any impact on earthing or not? The usb ports also run very slow when transferring large files, they are USB 2.0 but are as slow as 1.0, so I suspect this is a laptop issue and not phone, which isn't so bad.
My PC works great and I also have the crazy screen when connected to it through USB.
I don't think that relates to the problem. There's a thread here that talks about the screen issues and this one has already been discussed to be a fault in the handsets.
Although, I must say that sometimes it happens, and sometimes it doesn't. Kinda depends on the battery level...

Hi,
I have flashed cyans 5.0.7 rom and lost after first restart somehow connectivity to USB computer.
I cant fastboot with USB, neither I can USB connect to w7 or vista. It says usb device not recognizable.
Any idea what to do to correct this issue?
Thanks

try connecting your USB and then rebooting the phone. It usually works for me.

Same, just reboot your phone, should work.
Issue 1326
I believe this is a known bug. Issue 1326 on the cyanogenmod google code page.
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmo...ty Version Model Owner Summary Stars Modified
It comes from using a charger that doesn't supply the normal amount of charge. No damage, as they say a reboot will fix. An attempt to fix is being made, but no stable release has the fix. In the meantime, reboot or use chargers with adequate power.
First off, this is probably the wrong section to post this in, but that is not my reason for response.
I too have this issue, no USB connections will be recognized when I plug in. No fastboot, no adb, no ums mount in recovery. Moreover, though the battery is good, it will no longer hold a charge for more than 2 hours. A simple reboot will not fix this. Will your phone charge via USB? Will headphones work? Both are a yes for me. I have spoken with Steve (Cyanogen) about this, and we are both certain it is a hardware issue. If you are having the same problems as I am, it is most likely that a solder from the usb port to the board is broken.
Now for the good news. I think I can fix this, but I need to wait until my family leaves (all visiting for my graduation ceremony). I am going to open it up, and if my suspicions are correct, try to fix the connection. I will report back when done.

No reason for me to think that it is soldering or connection issue. My phone works just fine and it worked well with SuperE this morning before I changed to Cyans ROM.
The battery gets charged properly, I am sure about that as I have been out with my phone all day long and stayed at 56% no problem.
Restart helped this but I am probably going to change rom because of this to something else.
I get this problem too, although intermittently. I'm certain it is a rom issue, as it's only started happening with the eclair roms, but it hasn't been a big enough of a deal for me to stop using cyan's rom or anything. As mentioned, a phone reboot fixes it every time.
Another issue I get more often is where I'll plug it in to the USB cord, mount it, then after a minute it will drop the USB connection and I'll have to mount it again. Might be related, might not. Also not worth switching roms for.
I should also add that I'm not having any battery issues like Dr Cloverdale mentioned, so I think that's something else entirely.
I found the cause of this issue (#1326) last month and posted the fix, it's in the 5.0.8-test series. More info:

Hello, I have a Samsung focus that use to work fibe connecting to PC but off recent whenever I plug it in windows 7 says USB is not recognize.
I've tried everything from resetting the phone to refatting the computer nothing helps. I have a feeling its the phone because same problem on other computers, anyone had to problem and cured it?
Wp7 Focus
or it might be a problem with your usb cable that came with the phone. if u can, try getting another one and using that (they go for very cheap on ebay). Have u *unlocked your device lately?
I've tried many different USB cables none works for me. I got the phone almost 2months now already unlocked. Live in UK and its a ATT branded phone so I'm abit screwed.

Have you tried the microsoft answers forum (answers.microsoft.com)? They have some solution wizards in one of the stickies near the top.
Did anyone ever find an answer to this? I've had my focus since Nov last year and it's worked fine for me aside from some odd, and random nonsense.
I went to go connect my phone to my laptop the other day and realized it didn't see my phone. When I plug it in, the phone chimes and shows it's getting power, but both my laptops show nothing being installed, Zune doesn't load, and if I load it, shows nothing connected. Nothing appears in the device manager either. I get no error message.
the cord shows no damage, and it's been plugged into my wall outlet for awhile. I guess i'm going to see about getting another cable tomorrow and try it that way?
Was wondering if anyone else has had a problem with the cable going bad suddenly, or if something else could be to blame? I've been reading here, MS's site and anywhere else I can, and I find things ranging from error message, drivers not installing and other things. I just know it worked fine a few weeks ago, but now...nothing.
Had the same issue. My 4th USB cable did the trick. I wanted to throw it out the window

I don't know much about electricity, but every device I can remember having with a removable charger: instructions said Plug power cord into Device FIRST, then Plug into Power Source. Could leaving cord plugged into power source, thus reversing above instruction, cause a problem with the cord?
Ok I have drivers installed and USB debugging is off all the normal stuff and the phone beeps but storage does not show so I can mount the computer does not detect??
Go into settings wireless and networks USB utilities and toggle the setting in there.

Sounds like PC to me, happens reboot PC and phone if it does not help I would suggest plugging it into another computer. If it works then try your computer again. This happened to me before with an external hard drive. Hope you get it worked out.
This also happened to me, it was working properly before but it just stopped. It seems that the phone always detects that there is a USB connected even if there was none, evidence is it is always in the charging state when I check the battery status. I think this is a hardware problem. I'm still looking for a solution for this.

USB issues like this will never make sense to me. It's working fine and then not, back and forth. I too am looking for a resolution.

I've never UNCHECKED USB Debugging.... during Odin connections or transferring files between phone and computer. As soon as I plug USB into phone, the USB symbol appears in notification bar and then I press notification to transfer files between computer and phone. My SR internal and external storage are recognized as drive letters on the PC. Try leaving USB Debugging checked and see if that works for you.

I had this problem using my front USB port on my computer.
When I switched to the rear USB port, it worked fine.
Well... it kills my DVI KVM every time. But the PHONE works.

i highly believe this is a hardware problem because mine started when the phone overheat and turned itself off. I already tried resetting to factory setting but still the problem persisted.

good point there have been instances where I have had to switch ports to get it to work.
I remember also having the same problem with a USB cable I used with my captivate. This cable worked well with the captivate but when I plugged my Sky, I had the same problem as you. It took me a while to figure it out and change the cable.
Hope it help

Thank you.
Hey guys. I recently came across the same problem as the OP.
My phone will not detect that it is connected to a computer, and the computer will say that the device is not detected/has malfunctioned.
I have tried a factory reset, I have tried USB debugging, checking and unchecking, I have tried going into USB Storage and hitting the connect to PC button.
The phone does not connect using any of the 6 USB ports. It does not connect to my home or work computer. I have used two different cables, the stock and a third party one. (I have always used stock, never any third party until now to resolve this issue.)
This problem also came out of the blue, no changes were made. The phone is stock no rooting or flashing. Although that was the plan, but now it seems pointless.
Judging from the responses on many websites, I would have to say it's a software issue that can't be resolved. Or maybe a hardware issue. Either way I'm sending it into Rogers (Canadian carrier it originated from) tomorrow if I can't fix it by tonight.
I would love help from the outside public, but please respond with suggestions that are more intricate than to hit the connect to PC button, as I have exhausted all of those options already.
If this is a random occurrence, (and it seems like a common problem from all the results I get when searching for answers) then this phone model really needs to have a fix or something down the road soon, because this is ridiculous.
EDIT: Also tried reboot of the PC. It's Windows 7 64-bit so shouldn't need drivers either, and it was working fine last week.
If u did all that, u did ur due diligence in troubleshooting the problem. I almost guarantee ur mini-usb is dead, or maybe damaged so that it still allows charge but won't connect to computer. Send it in to Rogers, they should give u a temp phone in the mean time becuz its under warrantt
Yeah I figured something hardware related decided to crap out on me.
Is there a specific cause for this to happen? I plan on rooting and flashing different roms when I get the phone back, and don't want to have this happen again out of warranty, or else I'm screwed.
I try to take good care of my phone, so it's weird that this happened. If it is a common problem, then I guess I'd have to be careful to not do anything on my phone that's not reversible.

Replacing the usb port on some devices arent solving the issue.
For example, i have a usb bricked GT-N7000 and technician said that usb port is working on another device but there is something blocking usb mounting in the emmc. I dont have a bricked emmc, but the thing is i have been searching all over to find a fix for this thing more than a year now.
This is somewhat of an emergency. Recently, the HOX I've been working with began shutting off randomly and now it won't charge or turn on. There is no LED light even indicating that it is charging. Currently, it's running ViperXL and has S-Off. I'm hoping that there is a (simple) solution to this problem. Honestly, for lack of better words I'm pooping bricks right now over this issue.
Your battery may have discharged all the way. You can try plugging it in to a wall charger overnight to see if this might correct the problem.

I suppose anything is better than nothing. But as for the random shutdowns? I don't have an HTC charger so I feel as though the chargers I have may have bricked it or messed up the power receptacle. I have more than 1 charger and none of them work so far. I'll try the overnight charge and see if it works.
Non-standard chargers have bricked some people. This phone has some sort of power management bug that causes the phone to become unresponsive when certain things get corrupted. Plug your phone into a PC and see what comes up in Device Manager. If you see QHUSB_DLOAD, I'm afraid you're bricked.

And that will show in Windows as well? I don't have access to a computer with all of the HTC drivers installed at the moment and probably won't until tomorrow afternoon. That and I don't even have a USB cord handy -_-

What he said. Also recommend to try charging overnight on a wall charger (not USB connected to a computer) and see if that helps.
Non HTC chargers typically won't be an issue. Although, if not using the OEM charger, there is always a small possibility that it may supplying voltage/current that doesn't quite meet the proper specs and can damage the device. Even more so, if you are using a cheap off-brand charger.

As for Device Manager, the phone doesn't get recognized so it's a no to QHUSB. Windows won't even pick up the phone. It attempts to install drivers for "Unidentified Device" and fails as it is. (A quick note, it successfully installs as "HID-compliant device" but requires a reboot)

And as for the charger, the main one used was a Samsung charger (old school, one piece). So if anything, I think it may have not been supplied enough voltage.
Also as a general note, sometimes when it's plugged in (to the wall) the bottom LEDs will flash for about 20 seconds and stop all of the sudden.

This is the thread you're referring to right? The only thing that stops me up is hex editing the IMEI into the null p4 backup. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that I need Eclipse for that. As well, a Linux system. Do you think that there may be a chance for this to work? I'd much rather not have to send the phone out for repair. Possibly unlimited.io would have an idea about this? I'm trying to not spend money if possible but if the need be I will fork over some greenbacks to repair this phone. Thanks.
You'll know by step 3 if it will work. Just make a Linux usb stick. Any hex editor will work fine. There's a guide to making an Ubuntu usb stick in q&a if you need help.

Hi
I recently bought a Desire S from a friend. I went about rooting it but when I plugged it into my PC it is not recognised at all, literally nothing pops up on the phone or the PC.
I've checked the settings in the phone and USB debugging is enabled and I always changed default connection type.
I have even booted into Hboot and plugged the USB in, but still nothing.
The phone charges perfectly fine and I've tried plenty of different cables. My other Android phone works perfectly when plugged it.
I'm starting to think its a hardware issue, anyone else heard of this? common problem? any fixes?
Thanks

I have the same problem, sort of. When I plug mine in all is well at first, but give the phone one tiny nudge (or just wait a few minutes) and it goes back to charge-only mode. It's probably a slightly loose connection somewhere in the USB port on your phone.
To be sure, try if it works in Linux. The Linux USB stack sucks infinitely less than what Windows uses.
Thanks for the replies. I tried Ubuntu but exactly the same (it worked with my Nexus 4)
Thats a little annoying, thankfully charging still works, just unsure how long that will last for! plus I cant root it! but I dont exactly need it rooted but I tend to do it anyway.
I've sorted it now. It was a loose ribbon cable, plugged that back in after taking the phone apart and its working.
Bootloader unlocked and custom recovery flashed. Ready to rock.
