HTC Sensation wont connect to PC (only charge)

Hey, i have had my sensation about 2 months, now when i connect it to a pc it dosnt ask what connection type to choose, it only charges, in the menu it is set to ask me about connection type, while connected to pc there is now no icon in the notification area (used to say 'charge only' or 'disk drive') even when rebooted into 4ext recovery and mounted/toggle usb connection, it dosnt connect as a disk drive like it has always done in the past, it only charges, i have tried 3 different pc's and 3 different micro usb cables, also have tried updating the firmware to 3.24 and installed ICS with the same result, i think its a hardware issue? last time it worked was 3 days ago connected via usb to a jvc headunit listening to my music files.

Weird problem!
Maybe you could try with a different SD card to eliminate the possibility of it being an SD card problem?
If it still doesn't work with another SD Card it may well be a hardware problem.

Well I had the same problem with the custom ROM I use.
Installing it clean with a full wipe solved it.
It is definitely NOT the pc, laptop or SD-card.
Are you on a custom ROM?
- Yes then install clean with full wipe. (make a nandroid backup!!!) and install all apps new.
- No then do a total reset (reset to factory settings) and do all the install stuff new. After that you can also install with RUU your ROM designated for your device.
You will see your USB connection will show up!!

same here
i have exactly the same problem as described in op.
will try flashing a new rom then also; first have to buy a flashcard reader then to get my new rom ON the sd card....
or do you think a nandroid restore would fix the problem? will try that first.
Will report back

The nandroid might restore the problem.I'd try it first.if not , then do the full wipe reinstall as said above .if at the time of the nandroid back up it was working is a good possibility it will fix the issue. Hope this helps!

Couple of tips that might fix your problem.
If you're running aokp make sure you disable fast charge.
Turn on mtp in USB computer connection settings. I have trouble accessing the options from most custom roms, so a little work around is to install either apex or nova, long press add to home screen - shortcuts - activities - scroll down to Settings - USB computer connection(com.android.settings.usbsettings) . Tap it and you should get a shortcut. Select mtp.
Ultimately, the thing that fixed my same issue was getting a different USB cable lol. You can also try different ports on your computer.
Good luck, hope you can find a solution to your problem! If all else fails, you can try using airdroid for transfer over Wi-Fi

Anyone find a fix on this , mine has started doing this yesterday :crying:
Tried 3 different cables , different usb ports , different sd card , formatting sdcards in 4xt recovery , reflashing firmware.... also htc sync re installed for drivers (htc sync does not see the phone), adb re installed (adb does not see the phone??)
dont think its the rom as adb cannot see the phone in fastboot
anyone any other ideas , tried ninjasalad suggestion on enabling mtp also ??

I think you're fine. I had this problem after flashing ARHD 6.6.X, OrdDriod series, and PkMn series. What I did was the following:
Went into settings. Connect to PC. Unchecked the "ask me" , Restart phone. Then checked "ask me" again. Lastly, restarted phone again.
After doing that a couple times, it worked for me. Maybe you can try that.

This happened to me as well. I think it's a hardware problem

check these
make sure you have enabled usb debugging mode from settings
install htc drivers
install htc sync(i am not sure if it is necessary)
use 2.0 usb ports
use the original usb cable if you aren't using it yet

wont work, screen broken

I can't do that because to enable usb debugging mode you have to use the phone and the phone's screen is completely broken and there's no way to even get into it using the touch screen.

BRICKED - unstable usb connection - OMAP443

i am loosing it....
i tried every thread about bricked phone - and nothing solved my problem.
it all started when i tried to use th LG FLASH TOOL to upgrade firmware and by mistake i checked "Erase Entire AP" and since than my phone wont turn on.
when i connect the usb cable - i get a notification of OMAP443 but it goes on and off rapidly like it is connecting and disconnecting at the same time - not stable.
i download all drivers, even tried to manual fix the driver with the inf file, but nothing - still unstable.
i also bought a special usb cable that has 56K-130K-910K - i tried all modes but did not get the download mode screen as shown in one of the guides here.
i need to stable the connection between the phone and the pc so i can flash the firmware.
any suggestions ?
please help - anyone :crying:

You have probably used Smartflash,not Lg flashtool.
I can make your phone to stay connected to pc but you won't be able to flash anything
Your phone's cpu is in debug mode now.
Signed bootloaders are needed to recover it with Linux, or a script for omapflash for recovering with windows..

Does it work?

[Q] Resetting to stock

I've been having some random reboots since I rooted, and decided I would try to unroot and reroot to see if the problem persists. However, I'm having trouble even getting the tablet to recognize it is plugged into the computer. It simply shows not charging (it knows the usb is there). Any tips?

I'd reinstall the drivers after uninstalling them using usbdeview.
Try this: link.
Just a note, charging status isn't an indication that the tablet is recognized since the device doesn't get full power from a computer's USB port by default.

Absolutely correct. A lot of people make a mistake on this. Thanks for mentioning that for the OP.

Have you tried uninstalling all the USB drivers for your device, restarting PC, re-installing drivers then restart PC and then try connecting your device.
When you updated, did you boot to stock recovery and factory reset and wipe cache partition then reboot? Sometimes failing to wipe during update can cause things to not work correctly.

Yes I tried everything uninstalling and reinstalling all the drivers and dozens of restarts nothing helps.
Nope when it got updated I didnt factory reset or wipe cache partition cuz i didnt want to loose my data.
It was an official update.
Now I just did the factory reset and cache partition wipe nothing helps
My pc still wont recognise my note 4.

And when you right click on the driver with the yellow triangle and select update driver, it does nothing?
Have you tried manually updating the driver and choosing the option to select from files on your PC instead of the auto-update feature? You can use this method to navigate to the folder that the Samsung drivers are installed in and select them from there, this should load the drivers.

You changed the USB settings as suggested and nothing changes?
You disabled anti-virus before installing the drivers?
You disabled fast startup? (If your PC has this feature)
How USB works on your note 4 versus how it works on your other devices may have slight differences, that would explain why your others connect and the note 4 doesn't.
Have you enabled USB debugging developer options?
99% of the time this is a PC hardware/driver issue, not an issue with the android device in question.

HTC recognition via USB on PC

Hi there.
I have an U11 now and I am quite happy with it.
But there is one problem.
It takes ages till I see the U11 appearing on the PC. USB debugging is on, data transfer chose at the U11, tried several USB connections on the PC tried even another laptop.
Sometimes it is even not showing the phone.
Are here people around who are facing the same problem?
Any solutions?
Thx a lot.
Schuertzi

Yeap exactly the same...

No problem here, each new usb port you connect to loads the drivers and takes a few seconds but after that connection is fast.

Thing that has me peeved is the lack of OTG support. I like to backup straight to an external HDD. No go with the U11.

Tried and waited really long after the drivers were installed. Nothing changed really. Even with using the same USB connection.
May be I did something wrong during flashing TWRP and then the Viper ROM.
Will check and let you know.
Thx
Sxhuertzi

I had the same issue even though i didnt root. I tried on multiple pcs and still got a message saying usb device not recognized. So i returned it and ordered the solar red. I should receive it today and I'll let you know if I still get the same result.

Great, just let us know.
Thx

Hi Guys,
I solved my problem.
I had first the wrong TWRP installed then deleted. Tried then again to install via fastboot. Was not possible.
Then, I installed the official TWRP app from the playstore. Installed the actual TWRP from there. And voila, TWRP installed, rebooted and everything works.
Just for your info. May be you have similar problem.
Schuertzi.

So i definitely had a defective device as this new one connects without any issue.

I can use external HDD and pendrives. In fact, the u11 recognises NTFS even.
