USB Device Driver

I've searched the developement thread, general thread and haven't found an answer. My Windows 7 X64 box doesn't recognize the phone. I've rebooted both the phone and computer, still no love. My sdk is up todate and have googled for the drivers but just get links to join other forums. Just got it today in the USA, could it be the phone wasn't supposed to be released yet? Any help will be appreciated.

I'm not sure I follow. Device drivers for what function? Mass storage device should be supported without extra drivers. For HTC sync, Internet sharing from pc, etc, you need to install HTC sync, which you can find on the SD card that came with the phone or on HTC website. Bluetooth functions require drivers from the maker of your Bluetooth transceiver or pc.

[PROBLEM] Issue with internet sharing from PC to phone via USB
Hi,
I don't want to start a new thread, because this one is similar to my problem.
I have HTC Sense, and when I connect it to PC and select "Internet form PC", my PC gets a blue screen.
I've installed HTC Sync provided with microSD included to phone, and when i connect phone with PC via USB with HTC Sync selected - everything is OK, phone synchronizes data with Outlook and stuff... But, when I want to update some data in my phone via Internet from PC (during HTC Sync connection) - my PC crashes and gives me a blue screen
What is going on? Does any of You have same issue?
I have Windows XP Professional 32bit with SP3
Could someone help?
Thanx in advance

Anyone know if there is a Mac driver out there?

About a year ago i sent an e-mail to HTC asking just that, at that time they did not support Mac's, and after that i just forgot about it...
Exactly what do you want to accomplish by connecting your phone to your mac?
If it is just to access the memory card it should just work.
I think if i remember right i wanted mostly two things, tethering through usb and managing contacts, the first one is solved easily by using wifi tethering, and the second one is much easier to do by always create your contacts on google(not sim, not in phone memory), and then you can just arrange them in your google account using a computer, that also means the next time you have a Android phone, your contacts will always be backed up and restored whenever you register your new phone with your google account(for market).

I'm also looking for a Mac driver; ever since rooting my phone using Revolutionary my computer no longer recognizes that the phone is connected, and the phone doesn't recognize that the computer is connected. I've also tried it on my Linux and Windows machines at home and neither of them work either. The problem is with the phone, not the desktop OS.
Any ideas? Sounds like it would be a driver issue, but I'm not 100% certain.
EDITED: I rebooted my linux machine at home (first time in months!) and it does actually work there. But it seems to have lost the mac and windows drivers. I don't care about the windows one so much, but I use a music syncing app called DoubleTwist that AFAIK is not available for Linux. (Plus, my iTunes library is on my work Mac.)

[Q] Can´t connect Omnia 7 to PC

hey XDAs
received my omnia 7 on last friday and it´s everything i could´ve asked for!
but now i got a little problem...
at first, some facts: i´m on a macbook pro and i use the windows phone 7 connector (tried win 7 and zune via boot camp, too).
i tried to unlock with 2 different trys, a) with chevron and b) with some dialer code to get in the "diagnosis" menu........both tries failed!
but after b) i got a new "diagnosis" tile in my apps menu
now i have the problem, that my pc can´t recognize the phone anymore...win 7 and zune say "no phone connected" and the wp7 connector (mac) doesn´t do anything (should start automatically, when phone is plugged in) but i get a "new network device found" message where i need to configure the new device.
(in addition, i THINK that my phone doesn´t even load the battery through the usb port, so maybe my cable is broken?)
maybe i can´t connect my phone because of the "diagnosis" menu?? and how can i remove this app??? maybe i should do a factory reset?
so what´s the problem here??? even if i can´t do the unlock, it sucks not being able to put music, videos or even updates on my omnia ;(

really nobody?

I don't know anything about using Macs with a WP7, but on windows, you need yo make sure you have the latest Zune. Also, if you have hacked to allow tethering, you have also turned off the Zune sync function.

The problem is you aren't actually running windows, it's still a virtual system. The USB controls are still through your mac. You will not be able to connect your win7 phone to a mac, that is not possible, and your wasting your time even attempting it. Sell the mac and buy a laptop, you will be happier.

If he's using VMWare fusion and accessing a Win7 guest via OSX host, then you're right.
However, if he's dual-booting Win7 through Boot Camp, then it should still work.
Samsung phones, like LG phones, have a way of switching the USB mode to allow Zune or allow tethering (the latter killed by Mango).
Monkeytown will have to follow the instructions for changing the USB mode back to the one that allows for Zune (on LG phones, it's called MS COMPOSITE).

i´m running a dual boot system, no vmware...
and microsoft released the wp7 connector themselves for mac, so it SHOULD work :/
i think i never saw an option of tethering in the settings menu, so how can i do that? i mean, change the usb mode
/e: i managed to get another omnia 7, and it works like a charm via my usb cable and mac connector

so....i would like to see the instructions that i should follow -.-

[Q] How to Connect WP7 to More than 1 PC?

hi..
I would like to check with you guys.. I have an irritation which I was wondering if it could be rectified.
Currently I connect my WP7 to 2 computers, one is my personal laptop which I use at home (to check for updates, sync MP3s and videos) and the other is my Work PC, which I frequently use it to transfer work related photographs i shot using my phone to my PC, for work purposes.
My question is, whenever I plug in my WP7 to my Home Laptop, it shows my WP7 phone name (Harold's Optimus 7) on Zune. Then when i go to work, and plug in my WP7, it shows as 'Guest' at Zune.
I am not able to transfer photos when my phone's relationship is 'Guest', and need to change the relationship.
Is there a way to make the phone accept the 2 computers rather than having me constantly changing relationship?
Any help is very much appreciated.

Connect the phone to PC without "driver"???

Hello, is there a way in which I could connect my phone to my PC without make the computer attempts to create a driver for it? In fact, when I connect my Note 2 to my PC, even though I don't have a Samsung driver for it, the computer always attempt to create one for it. However, it always fail to install. But I don;t know why it still shows the name (e.g. GT-N7100 with a icon of a media player next to it) of the device in computer and after you clicked it, it will show the card and the phone directory. I really dislike it because you cannot eject the device before disconnecting it and it really does a bad job of displaying the storage availability. Therefore, is there a way I could get rid of the "driver"? Thanks.

transfer itunes music from mac to lg g3?

hello. I've owned my g3 for a day and just trying to get everything organized. I'm having trouble trying to transfer my iTunes music to my g3. I've tried EVERYTHING. i dled the drivers, tried wondershare and android file transfer. it boils down to that my mac isn't recognizing an android device. I've enabled debugging mode and nothing. any suggestions?

here's a direct, and two round about ways of transferring your music: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-get-your-itunes-music-your-android

Just curious are you using the factory cable that came with it? Also have you tried restarting the phone while it's plugged into the Mac? My G3 wasn't recognized until I used the factory cable then the folder came up with HTC sync manager. Hope that helps
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

I have had this same problem before. What was causing it for me was Samsung kias program. I had to uninstall kias you can't just delete the app you have to run the uninstall.

yea I'm using the cable that came with the phone. i didn't try to restart the phone while plugged in but ill try that. every time i tried to use the android file transfer, i plugged in my phone and enable debugging and everything, the phone doesn't appear in the program. do i need to unmount/mount the phone or something?

iSyncr has worked extremely well for me. Recognizes the device right away and I can transfer my iTunes playlists directly.

i can't for the life of me get this to sync via usb... my usb works fine when charging and all. but when it comes to trying to sync or transfer files on my macbook, my device never shows up... so i had to sync my iTunes music via wifi... **sigh** i don't know why my device is never recognized

I hope someone has a solution. I followed these steps: Uninstalled Samsung Kies, downloaded the drivers from LG website, rebooted. Still, Android device file transfer did not recognize phone. Only way right now to connect phone with mac via USB is to use LG's own PCsuite. I have also an unlocked Moto X and Android device file transfer works flawless even before uninstalling Samsung Kies. I think there is something wrong with LG's drivers for the Mac.

Hey, I think it worth trying using a factory cable. Sometimes, it matters so much. And I gotta say some program are designed with too many features, and it could not be good on every one of them. So, you better try someting more professional, like TunesGo. It's specialized in transferring music from iTunes to Android phones, like LG G3.
