If it is plugged into the computer, it's charging. I just set it to camera mode if I want to keep the SD card mounted in the phone.

In fact, the phone continues" flipping" between charging and multimedia mode... never stable and in the end discharging

If you want to use MTP with your Windows XP machine, you probably need to download Microsoft drivers. Just search for Windows XP MTP.

txs - will do
(honestly was a bit worried though seeing tt my mobile didn't connect properly....)

[Q] PC wont read Mesmerize

mt computer wont recognize my mez. what am i missing?
the samsung drivers?
32-bit
64-bit
I have the drivers installed its not picking them up... And I'm not sure as to which one is for this phone to manually install it..

32 and 64 are your computer. Try turning off the phone, then plugging it in and turning it on, strangely enough that has fixed problems with USB before.

What do you mean it "won't recognize"
When you plug it in you get no notification? Or are you trying to mount the sd card in windows?
When I plug it in it recognizes that something usb was plugged in but it won't pick up the drivers

Try plugging your phone in, then go to the Device Manager in Windows, and look to see if any of the entries have a yellow or red exclamation point beside them.
got it!!!
thanks for all the help but after all the messing around it was the USB cord to be the blame!!!

[SOLVED] Issues when trying to connect to PC

Hello everyone,
So all of a sudden I'm having problems when trying to connect my new One S to my PC. This is really confusing so read carefully.
Typically, when we connect the device to a PC, the LED lights up and the USB icon shows up in the status bar. Here's the thing. When I try to connect my HOS to the PC, the LED blinks asynchronously and the icon on the status bar disappears and reappears. It's like the connection is loose.
My first thought was that there should be a hardware issue.
I tested the cable first for any issues. I tried another cable and the problem persisted. When I tried to connect my other device, an Xperia X8, there was no problem whatsoever. So, definitely, the cable is not producing the problem.
Next, I thought maybe the Micro USB port on my One S was the problem. I took a q-tip and cleaned it, although it already was clean. Tried again connecting it to the PC, no luck. But when I tried connecting it to my Laptop instead, there was no problem at all! And there's also no problem when charging it (from the wall charger).
My next thought was the PC's USB ports where causing the problem. I took a vacuum cleaner p) and dusted off any lint there was. So I tried connecting my HOS again and still no luck. Tried all 4 USB ports and even a USB extension cord.
If needed, my PC is running Ubuntu 12.04, my Laptop Win7 and my HOS is running CM10.
Now I'm really confused and I have no idea what to do next. Any thoughts?

I'd try recreating the problem on another Sense ROM with as little tweaks as possible.

Sorry but I gotta bump this.
I tried connecting it with Virtuous ROM, JB Sense and the issue is still present. I'm pretty sure it's not the ROM's fault.
Well... Have you tried reinstalling the drivers on the PC?

It's Ubuntu, there are no drivers. On my laptop with Windows, there's no issue and I didn't install any HTC drivers. Just the regular drivers Windows installs when detecting a new device.
Can someone please merge this thread with mine so we get the right answers in one thread please, this would help both of us and also anyone else that may come across our issues?

Any Admin, please can you?
I should probably note that I'm not using an HTC Micro USB cable. Both cables I tried were Sony (Xperia X8) cables.

Have you tried installing Linux to the laptop?
Well it's my father's laptop so I'm not allowed to mess around with it. So no, I can't install Linux there.

Does it mount in recovery..? Just use the Ubuntu disk and choose to use Ubuntu not install it at all..
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Oh yeah, I totally forgot about live CD/USB. Luckily, I had one ready.
So I tried Ubuntu on my laptop and the connection is totally fine.
Will try mounting in recovery later.

I think its the chipset that Linux is having issues with so maybe look into updating that or changing it for another version.
Could you tell me more? I don't understand.

The chipset is pretty much the motherboard which of cause controls USB and other stuff. So you need find out what you on and then see if there is an update.
So I should check if there is a software update for my motherboard. Sorry, I'm not well informed concerning hardware
Will do.

Hello!
Which Version is your ROM at? Everything except the Jelly bean update (4.1) should work out of the box.
From jelly bean on you will need libmtp. You want to use mass storage? As far as i know One S has just recently been added to libmtp things. So if there would be a problem you may contact the bugowner or just wait for a working kio slave with mtp.
Greetings,
R
PS.: I use opensuse so things are for sure different. I will just wait for a kio slave that works.
Maybe my information is not precise enough or not correct but you could give it a go:
Try google for:
[How to] Connect your Android Ice Cream Sandwich ... - OMG! Ubuntu!
Maybe you can work with this.

[Q] USB tethering with Cyanogen

Whenever I try to tether my XP laptop tells me that I need to install a driver in order to tether. Where do I get this driver? I am able to use it as storage fine.
To USB tether on my win 8 and macbook, I use pdanet, aside from the 10mb limit, it works great
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Yes I understand but when I plug in my phone to my laptop it is asking for a driver for the infuse.
Just for driver, you can install kies.
But I an not sure about tethering driver.
What I recommend is make WiFi hot spot. U can also connect your phone top PC if you worry about the battery life.

HTC inspire 4G connect with pc problem

Ok so I picked up a inspire for 20 bucks and nothing is wrong with it except it won't connect to any pc. I tried factory resetting it. Installed the drivers every way possible through sync manager and just vs the drivers then self from the ace kit. Still nothing happens or pops up on either the phone or pc. Note: in one instants my computer did pop up once saying last device could not be recognized. IV tried on win 8, win xp, and even on my car stereo for mass storage for music and nothing. Yes usb debugging is on and I set it for charge only and ask every time when connected via ace kit notes. Any help would be appreciated.... Owe and I even cleaned the port out of all the lint and dust.

My nexus 10 on 4.4.1 works fine

The windows 7 "something was just plugged in" chime only rings when i turn on and off debug mode
its almost as if the computer doesnt detect a usb is plugged in until i turn debug mode on
lol what the hell
Settings -> Storage -> Enable MTP
why the hell would it be turned off!
jesus, oh well - this topic can be closed
I was losing my mind here
thanks guys
Wow MTP is terrible
nexus 5 comes up as a device and not a drive, and therefore windows has no idea how to properly copy files from my phone to my desktop
and teracopy has no idea it exists either
ughhhh
guessing it works now hopefully?
It happened to my N5 4.4... so no idea...lol
Yea its working
MTP was just unchecked under Settings --> storage
And what if there are no options under storage? I have to turn off my tablet and take out sd card to copy/move something to/from it. Odin does not recognize the tablet either, tried various stock cables.
