Hi all,
First of all thanks scott for an awesome JB build for Infuse. Everything works great, except that, the battery icon doesn't show the phone's charging when in fact it is charging. Also, when I connect the phone to the PC with the USB cord, it doesn't get recognized as a mass storage or even an MTP device. I don't even see any settings related to this in the system settings. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Cliff

I have no problems with the battery icon - perhaps you need to flash again? As for the USB issue, you should have the option to mount the phone in mass storage when you connect to the computer. The option shows up in the notification menu. Click that and then you should know what to do.

Thanks, but that's the problem! I don't see anything popping up in the notifications!
Also, I have another problem! For google accounts I don't see calendar in the sync options, hence I don't see any of the google account calendar in the google calendar app. Any help in this regard!
Update: Partially followed this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35064880&highlight=calendar#post35064880
In that, just installed the calendar app from google on play store and voila!
But the storage issue remains!

If I were you, I'd do a full wipe and flash. When you flash, or rather before you flash, make sure to format system. That seems to get rid of a lot of gremlins! It's not the build at any rate, it's something to do with your setup.
That is my problem too, now i want to update other ROM but i don't know how to copy file to my Tablet. Could you help me how to do it.
Thanks all,
Long

Did this fix your issue? I'm having the same problem getting into USB mode. There isn't the option in the settings like there is in the stock rom.

Here are a couple of options.
1) Download the ROM directly to your phone through the browser.
2) Send the file to your phone over wifi using WiFi File Transfer Pro, AirDroid, or ES File Explorer. There are a number of other options in the Play Store but these are the three I've used before.
3) Pop out the external SD card and connect it to your computer to grab the file.
4) Transfer directly from your computer via Bluetooth.
I'm sure there are other ways too but these are the ones that come to mind.
Good luck.

Wondering if someone might be able to help me out. When i switch ROMs i loose the ability to choose the connection type i want when i plug into a USB (ie. charge, disc, sync, etc.). My phone starts charging right away, but i don't have the option to choose.
USB debugging is checked, Ask Me in Connect to PC is checked but i don't see the option to choose anywhere and it doesn't pop up when i connect via USB.
Strange thing is, when i revert to a Coredroid back-up, the option is there, but when i flash any other ROM that option is no longer there.
Any suggestions? Help would be appreciated. Thanks much.

Non-sense (hehe) roms will not give you those options (ie cm7,miui) Coredroid, android revolution etc are sense based and give you those extra abilities. The reason for this is it calls out the HTC drivers on both the phone and the pc. non-sense roms wont be able to.
Thanks for the quick reply Darunion. The new ROM i flashed is Bindroid (a sense ROM), so it should recognize, shouldn't it?
So it doesnt show up in your notifications when you pull the menu down that its "usb charging" if it does you should be able to click that to force the menu choices up. Ive been away from sense for a while so im a bit rusty :/

No notifications are there...at least no "charging" notification allowing me to choose. And nothing pops up when i connect via usb.
while its plugged in have you tried toggling usb debugging off and then back on again. sometimes this will fix the issue.
Yep...i have. Even gone so far as removing all HTC from my PC & reloaded. Still nothing. Strange thing is that this has happened when trying to flash (2) different Sense ROMs. BUT...if i restore the CD Rom...it's there again.
were the other roms you loaded all running sense 3.0 or 3.5? Ive seen some issues with 3.5 and usb cords and connection options not appearing. Just trying to find the common denominator in this.
Sense 3.5. Yeah, i've read some of those too in my "google search". People using non-inspire usb cords, etc. I'm using the inspire usb.
ive never actually used sense 3.5 so i have no idea where to start on that. sorry i wasnt able to help. hope someone has some helpful info
Think i may have figured it out...at least it's got to be a couple things. Download a latest "WIPE tool"...and tried w/o restoring anything and it connects.
So...it's either using the latest Wipe Tool...or something in my restore settings thats causing the issue. At least i know that it's working.
Thanks for your assistance anyway Darunion! Merry Xmas!

Word to the wise. Don't restore any system settings. Never a good idea. After flashing change all your custom settings one by one. Don't use anything to restore them

Plugged Options
I had the same issue, and it was in the rom. I have used every rom out here, and some have the options and some dont.
I searched for this specific problem and couldn't find anything that helped.
1.) Phone Portal: I've used it before and after trying (unsuccessfully) to use it today I keep getting this error message:
"You have received an invalid certificate. Please contact the server administrator or email correspondent and give them the following information:
Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued by the certificate authority. Please get a new certificate containing a unique serial number.
(Error code: sec_error_reused_issuer_and_serial)"
Any ideas?
2.) USB Mass Storage: I did read a few threads about this issue and I guess it's just something that is a known problem with the Atrix 2??
With the issues with this phone (and it being my first "smart" phone...), I'm contemplating just returning it. There's gotta be something more stable/reliable than this.
Ive run in to issues where my phone just doesnt get recognized by the program. Only way I have fixed it is to do a factory wipe
Trying to not do that. Really shouldn't have to keep "factory resetting" the phone. Kinda irritating...
I use a mac so the connection is flakey at best, but I've found AirDroid to be a great resource for this.

As do I. But everything has previously worked fine. I haven't done anything different to the phone (completely stock, plus a few apps).
EDIT: Ok, so I may have found the solution. I just re-installed the certificates to my computer and it's connecting now.
After connecting your phone to your computer change the usn connection type to charge only and see if you can connect with adb. If so it is a problem with the crappy moto phone portal app
.. I have this issue on my mac book pro often.
You have to uninstall it and make sure it does not leave any thing in your preferences or library directories. Then reinstall the app on the mac.
If you can't connect with adb (make sure debugging is enabled in settings under applications first), return the phone and get an exchange for another atrix 2.

So far it's working again.
And I'm still on OS 10.4.*...so I can't use the adb commands yet. Working on fixing my optical drive so I can upgrade to 10.5-10.8.
As for the USB Mass Storage Device problems, you CAN NOT have ANY apps on the SD card. Sometimes apps install themselves automatically on the SD card, you just have to go back to Manage Applications->On SD Card->Click on all the ones with a green check mark and select "move to phone."

Just want to make sure on something here. Even if you move apps from the SD card to the phone memory, some app data still remains on the SD card right? And this setup will still have no problems with missing apps?
Hi there. Strange problem I can't find any info with a solution. Seems a guy had a similar problem last year but there was no resolution.
TF101 Stock 3.2.1 (Japanese unit) Last update we got was in Feb to 3.21. No ICS for us yet.
Yesterday I connected my TF101 to my iMac to transfer some files but it would not connect. I unplugged and tried again but still no luck. Up until now I was able to connect no problems. I tried it on a Macbook Air and still nothing.
I checked the cable still charges the unit and it does. If the unit is asleep and I plug the USB in it wakes to the lock screen so it is getting something from the USB port.
I reinstalled the Android file transfer and still nothing.
I did some digging and found that I need to go to settings > storage > press the 3 dots at the top right > select MTP.
Thing is, I don't have 3 dots at the top right. The only option I have in storage is to unmount the external SD card.
I tried turning on and off the USB debugging. No go.
I tried rebooting and cold booting. No go.
Does anyone have any ideas? Do I need to do factory reset?
I don't want to buy a new cable as I want to see what the deal with these missing three dots is. It seems to be a problem on the TF101 side not the computer.
Thanks in advance for your help.
You could try rooting and flashing a custom ROM, this would also have the benefit of giving you ICS.
Otherwise go to applications and look for menus there, and Development, enable USB-debugging, and keep hunting through the menus.
Make sure you have adb/asus sync on your macs.
Thanks Thing.
I have hunted high and low through all the settings.
The thing that baffles me is that it was working fine one day but not the next.
There have been no updates from ASUS here since Feb.
I will install Asus sync and see what happens.
Sounds like something got corrupted somewhere, If you have a MicroSD and are willing too go ahead and do a factory reset in the settings and make sure you're on the latest ota, this should fix it. (use the microsd to backup everything you've put on there, google backs up your apps if you check it in the playstore so you can redownload them)
^^This is only if you can't get it too work
The alternative is to root and flash a custom rom :3
Also having this problem
Hey. My android file transfer app on mac also doesnt detect my transformer tf101.
Also eclipse doesnt detect it so I am unable to use my transformer for development at the moment. I see the 3 dots in the upper right corner of the Storage tab and it is set to MTP.
Also USB debugging is enabled and no bee icon comes up on the action bar when I plug in the USB.
This only started happening after I upgraded to a rooted ICS ROM I found on this forum. I just did a factory reset and it didnt help :/
If anyone can help me, I will give you an internet bro fist.

I recently went through the process of de-bloating this phone; following the helpful guides here on the AT&T G3 General forum.
However, I am finding that I cannot connect via USB to my notebook. I am going to try this on my PC @ home this pm and see if this just is not a driver issue on this end.
I restored the LG PC Suite & Suite Service to system (as well as the settings) and tried the PC suite connection app on my notebook. No dice there either...I do not even see the phone asking me how I want to connect to the laptop before I began all this de-bloat.
Is there an APK, etc. I am missing on the phone that I need to bring back to make the PC suite work again, much less connect with my notebook?
I do have developer settings / usb debugging enabled as well as (re-) installed the LG driver package. Thank you for reading / assisting in advance.

perhaps a list of the things you did would help us decipher what might be wrong. Everyone's idea of 'debloating' is different so I'm sure you've done something different then I have.

Thanks for the reply. I removed pretty much everything on the lists provided in the AT&T G3 forums and now Windows 8 refers to my device under "Printers & Devices" as a "USB Charge Only Interface". I am on my home PC now where I can verify a few days ago I could connect to the device.
To be more specific, I cannot switch the G3 into MTP mode. Does anyone know if there is a specific apk (libs, etc) to re-enable this feature?

This is the reason I usually just freeze apps in titanium backup instead of uninstalling bloat altogether. I've had this kind of issue with other devices in the past so I always err on the side of caution. Like the other member said if you can list what all you removed so we can narrow down which app is causing your issue.

This is going to be kind of obvious but have you gone into devices on your pc and removed the LG drivers? If you remove them and then plug it in it should auto detect and reinstall the drivers. If it doesn't then at least we know its not a driver issue and it is in fact something on your device. I know it'd be a huge coincidence to both the notebook and desktop to have the same problem but the drivers could have somehow been corrupted.

USB Charge Only Interface
this rings a bell, the first time I connected my phone to the computer it did this, I had to change the setting to MTP mode. There should be a notification on the phone that says something about changing the usb mode.
Also I don't think you get this option if the drivers aren't installed properly so that's another thing you could try

I tried messing with real 4k (not 2k) wallpapers in GN launcher and it really messed with the background. Half screen black and flashing the image every 10 secs...even 1080 wallpapers starting failing.
Switched back to stock launcher and sort of fixed. Reboot finally allowed me to use GN with any 2k or less wallpaper again lol.

If you scroll up, I wrote that it was purely an issue of which launcher I was using.
usb debugging is checked in developer options, phone appears as photon q and mot composite ADB interface in device manager and windows explorer. i have tried 3 usb 2.0 cables and a usb 1 cable. 2 of them were labled as "data cables" and have worked in the past. i have installed the Motorola software previously. only internal storage DCIM and pictures folders are viewable through explorer. i suspect the phone is recognized as being in camera mode but since there is no notification i cant change this. i do have an sd card in the device that is recognised by the operating system. so whats the next step?
Have you tried the original Moto cable?
Have you tried clicking on the notification from the shade and changing the mode?

yes i tried the moto cable and what mode toggle? the network one from off to on yes, and i tried the lte off and on, even reset apn's. the only thing that seems to work is a reboot which only works for the first 3 mins or so. issues started after i flashed nightly. im gonna attempt to do a clean install of nightly. if that doesnt work i might have to stick with rc2
edit: im going to have to call the carrier and see which apn they recommend because i have 5 for sprint
did a factory reset and reinstalled pacman rc2 running smoooooth. wish i could have rc3 though :/

You seem to have an unending fountain of issues. Try flashing stock and seeing if they persist. You may have a hardware issue.
You should have some sort of way to plug the SD card into your computer - IE a converter card or a USB-to-microSD key. I guess I always make sure the card comes with one kind or another so I have a few laying around... You can buy one pretty cheap too, especially if you have a MicroCenter near you.
