Help with HDMI out

I cant seem to get the HDMI out to work. I got it to the homescreen for a few seconds but it disconnects after and now it doesnt seem to work at all. Im not sure if its the cable or my phone. Im using eagleblood 2.3.3 1.07. I dont think its the cable cause this is my second cable the first one didnt work. Is there anything i have to do to get it to work? im using a 23in samsung tv monitor

Download talk back app from the market, then try it again.

Does not sound good. Several people have fried their phone with bad cables. Your phone still works, so you are lucky there.
I have had a problem with CM7 but not 2.3.3. Again, it does not recognize the connection at all does not sound good. Reboot the phone and try again.
You could go to a TMo store and try connecting with one of their cables - theirs would not be bad junk. This way you would know what the problem is.

Usb Connection problem

Just got my droid charge today (it wa a replacement for a revolution) for some reason when I connect the usb cord it just charges it doesnt ask if I want to use as usb or anything. is this an odd setting I am not used to?

Go into the notifications drop down. Change from charge only to usb mass storage.

Go to the verizon website and redownload the drivers.

lolwut thats in usb options in settings not the dropdown

i dont have anything in notifications and under settings usb it just says mass storage media player and ask on connection

You have a bad cable, I had this same problem.

Is there any difference in cables? I was wondering about that the cable I have is the one from my revolution they said to keep it and didnt send a new charger

yeah you may need a new one, preferably the one that comes with the Charge though you're probably gonna have to buy it... I think the stock samsung cable that comes with the phone is the only one that reliably connects and transfers data

Man now i am going to have to wait to root haha

know a friend with a newer samsung phone? borrow it, I think most newer samsung cables all work (I use one from my Fascinate and it works fine)

go figure verizon said its the same cord

So they said they are sending me a phone and a cord. the guy from verizon even said I have absolutely no idea why its not working everyone here is also confused. so they are sending me a new phone and cord. I am starting to lose trust in their certified devices this makes 5 phones in 2 weeks

Its not bad it's just not ment for that phone just like my fascinate wire Is loose when connected to my charge

USB Storage can't be turned on

So I got an incident with my phone, if you wanna now about it, its at my sig, but the thing is that I dunno why or how, sometimes my computer does recognizes my phone and display the Turn on USB storage option at the notification bar, but each time I try to turn it on it just wont work. Attached is a logcat whenI try to enable it, maybe someone could tell me why it wont work.

What rom are you running for those off that are on the xda application?

Normally I got two nandroids a GB based one and an ICS based one, right now Im using both Eagle's Blood 2.3.7 v2.8 and ICS 4.0.3 Build 1. But I had this problem since... always. I'm a flashaholic so i have tested actually every rom from stock 2.2.2 to beta 4.0.3... I even have a nandroid of my original ROM (the one that came with it when y bought it and rooted it) and not even there works. The only clue i have right now is that only if I disable USB debugging it will randomly connect.

This may sound dumb but have you tried a different usb cable? I had the same problem and tried my girls and my phone was able to connect each and every time. another thing I noticed with my phone is that it sometimes won't connect using windows 7...xp no problem but 7 it plays hard to get.

No man, doesn't sounds dumb, actually if you read the "issue" background on my sig, you'll notice that I have made all those steps... its not a big deal, there are SDCard Readers and the bluetooth but... itw not the same.

Ok but my bad I can't see your sig since I use the app most of the time. Yea its not the same

Holy Mother of God! I did it! In one of those "random" times my comptuter recognized my phone I just pulled out the batt unplug/plug again the cable, keeping both vol buttons pressed and it reconginzed the APX decive! Then all I had to do was NVFlash again, restore the stock 2.2.2 Nandroid i had somewhere and play a bit with the USB mount/debbug options, flashed both storages (using gparted for the microSD) and it works! Now have to restore everything to my SD and reflash latest cm7...

Nice!

Talked too early, if. I restore my nandroid the issue continues... -_____- Gonna try doing everything again...

Did you ever figure this out? Sounds like your having the same problem that i am.
I've tried at least 6 different cables, home PC, work PC, laptop and a co-worker's PC that didn't have anything vmware installed (had a hunch that vmware usb drivers were the cause). Oh, all the computers were win7x64.
I've only rooted my phone and upgraded to 2.3.3 so nothing crazy going on there and it's worked for months since i did both of those.
I have a feeling that this may have been a recent windows update, but no clue when or which one because i haven't really cared that it didn't work. If i had to guess i'd say mine stopped working about 3 months ago... again, hard to remember.

Make sure usb debugging is turned off.
Plug in the phone, enable usb storage.
Right click on the phone drives in the explorer and click on eject.
Turn off usb storage.
Unplug and plug in again.
Enable usb storage.
Drives should work now.
This did it for me. Since then if I remember to eject before unplug I haven't seen any issues.

Thanks for the reply, I'll give that a shot.
Curious though, when yours was having problems, did windows detect anything? For instance, when I plugged mine into my co-workers pc there are zero pop ups about new hardware detected.

I had the same problem. Dirt in the mini-USB port can cause that problem.
Take a can of compressed air and blow it into the mini-USB port (blowing with your mouth isn't enough). Also, take a close look at the port with a magnifying glass and look for any dirt or discoloration in there.
Do the same with your cable.

Not working after install RemICS 1.3.2

Hi, this problem occur to me after I've installed RemICS 1.3.2 ROM (CM9 based), I did follow the installation steps from beginning, when the problem occur, I did re-flash the same ROM several times, but this problem still unsolved.
I did try all recommendations (blow out dirt, disable usb debugging etc) but still not success.
This ROM should able to detect USB when phone connected with PC, but somehow I don't know why. Any experts recommendation?

Ok, I just found the problem. I can hear now the tone of PC detected USB when plugged-in, and I update the driver. then Voila!!
Thanks All..

Try wifi file explorer gives you the ability of seeing your sd card through your ip address you'll find it on the play store

Hey, just thought I'd register an account because I stumbled upon this thread because I had the same issue verbatim and I managed to get it working.
I ended up using the USB 3.0 ports on my desktop and suddenly it picks up my g2x without fail everytime. With that said, I'm lead to believe that perhaps its an issue of power. Maybe the USB 2.0 ports you're using simply aren't providing enough power. Not sure what its worth or if my issue was something unrelated but maybe that bit of information is something to work with. =)

Found another solution that fixed the problem for me.
If you are using Windows XP, log on as an Administrator and open Device Manager
Select View > Show Hidden Devices
Scroll down to Storage Volumes, and expand
Right-click on each entry and select Update Driver.
This fixed the problem for me!

USB Device Not Recognized

All of a sudden I can charge but laptop won't recognize Infuse - any idea how to fix? It's not a cable or port or computer problem. I've tried on multiple machines with cords and various ports.
I just installed Unofficial CM10 JB 8/11 and have had this problem for the past few days.
Any idea how to fix? Not sure if it's the rom or what? Thanks!

Uh oh... sounds like you have my old problem with my infuse.... the usb controller may have died, usb port should be fine however. I had a pro unbrick my infuse because it was bricked and wuldnt connect to anything (mobiletechvideos) and he figured out that something usb was broken. For free he replaced the hub but still didnt work. He had to perform jtag to get it working (extremely complicated, requires taking the phone apart). He said it would be a lot easier and cheaper to just get a new phone hopefully your situation is different but goodluck, just saying whats happened to me, and some others have reported it happening.

no pc/phone connectivity need help

Hey guys,
Ive been trying to fix my issues for the almost 2 days. i was trying to get UMS storage working using the tools that are around (in xda) and scripts, it was kind of hit or miss, somehow i lost my usb drives (i think the phone lost its hardware id somehow) bottom line i need my usb connectivity as that is the way i use the phone the most. i can still go into recovery, i flashed back into my nandroid but it didnt fix the driver issue, then tried new JB rom and still broken, almost like its the PC (i did try diff cables that use to both work) i literally must have flashed EVERY driver known to man and did fresh no driver installs, also tried using pc kies a couple of times so i have no clue.
if i hook up the phone to pc i get a usb device not recognized, adb has no connectivity and i tried manually loading the drivers but its like the phone doesnt know wtf to do because some adb interface drivers loaded it up (not anymore) but it would say it had error 10 ("device cannot start") and error 43.
upate. fresh copy of windows didnt help also the nexus has no issues on all the cables

Bump

Any ideas ? I cleaned the plug, used blow drier to heat the board up as suggested by a thread, reinstalled windows, kies, tried booting in download mode nothing worked. I almost sure my hardware actually lost its id. Is hwid contained in flashable portion? I know its not ROM data maybe nv items or anything else

It sounds to me that the USB connector on the phone is fried. I had the almost the same identical issue on a gs2. I tried 3 computer and no luck. So I broke down and had to send it in for repair.

Yea I kind of think that could be it too but was wondering if it is possible to flash the hwid portion or not. BTW any1 done a micro USB replacement ? Looks like it would be hard as **** and I don't have insurance. I suspect it to be bad though cause the stupid mhl adapter is finicky as hell too

Can you get Oden to recognize the phone? I was in luck, the phone was still under warranty from Samsung. And they fixed it for me for free.

Neg PC won't recognize phone at all. I am conflicted I honestly think there is something to the hwid issue. Is that flashable?

You might want to use mobile Oden from market and try to flash the stock Image and return the phone to factory. You do have a backup of your stock rom? Right!
