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.

Adb help needed.

I have a pc setup for andriod. I have used this pc several times with no problems.
4 or 5 days ago I flashed the latest twrp recovery all went well.
Yesterday I tried to dump my apks, nothing I tried worked. Adb devices showed nothing. I googled till I wore the paint from the keys and still nothing. Ive searched the threads and nothing seems to help. I have xp, win7, win8, laptops, desktops....nothing sees the phone.
Any ideas? I assume its a ms update or net framework issue but honestly Im frustrated to the point I want to smash something, hard to think clearly when Im so agitated.
Everything worked just fine the only changes are latest twrp and testing a new rom but I cant see the rom being the problem, pc wise just some ms updates for security and virus definitions.
Beer money or hookers if you can help

I hate to do this but is USB debugging on?
Sent from my HTC One X

Also, check the usual things such as cable, USB port, reboot PC.
Also disabling HTC sync is worth a shot, as is reinstalling HTC Sync Manager.

Debugging is on
Sync is not installed on the andriod pc to reduce problems.
Have tried 2 cables and different usb ports, it wont connect on 5 pc in my house so I have to think its on the phones end but honestly Im out of ideas other than a big hammer.

Reinstalling sync was no help....this is one tough nut to crack

Progress ( I think)
adb works if phone is booted up, did a adb devices and it showed
adb will not work in fastboot mode and it used to. I rolled back Windows prior to updates, 4 days back to when I flashed twrp and it did not help.
I have a spare hdd debating on a fresh OS install with minimum crap installed,
Maybe I should take this as a sign and not make a add on
appreciate the help Gunny

Does it show adb devices while in fastboot? Also, check your device manager while your phone is in fastboot and make sure you don't have any unknown devices.

[Q] htc one x (at&t) not connecting to pc anymore help!

recently bought an unlocked one X it was running the software number 1.85 and i was able to connect it to the pc to move my files to it ,
recently i got the ota update (2.20) and after quite a bit of research decided to let it update.
even after the update the usb feature worked, and now it doesnot work at all it only chages i have tried
holding the power button for 10 secs with phone connected to the lap,desktop, (when i did this the first time it the chhosing menu that appears on the phone showed up but the pc didnt recognise the phone)
tried different wires
checked coonect to pc settings ( set to always ask, disk drive)
installed latest drivers and htc sync
tried factory resets
unab;e to do hard reset for some reason (android logo doesnt show up) only the three lights keep blinking and go off
the phone is fully stock and has never been rooted or flashed
all advice is much apreciated!

If the phone shows up in devices manager u could probly run a ruu and see if that fixes it there's guides in the dev thread if that doesnt see the phone then I'm not sure what to tell you?

Do you have USB debugging checked?

Does this mean you tried more than one computer? Its not clear. If not, try that. Also try different USB ports, as this has been known to solve the issue for some people.

Sorry disregard my post I can't wrap my mind around stock and ota

download HTC sync manager.. should automatically re-download drivers then connect phone USB to computer and try again with USB debugging on and phone in Transfer files mode

Rooted, can't connect to pc now.

Anyone run into any issues not being able to connect phone to pc?
I rooted a couple days ago with pingpong, all was fine after including being able to connect, didnt do anything else, now pc wont recognize device, I've tried uninstall/reinstall drivers, diff usb cable, diff usb port, factory reset, still no go, unfortunately I don't have another pc to test it on but I'm out of ideas?

Yeah, same situation on ATT Variant.

I think I'm hard bricked at this point, can't connect to it from pc, cant boot, cant correct with factory reset from boot.

Had to get it exchanged...ugh what a pita that was....makes me cautious of rooting again, never bricked one and I've been doing it since the htc hero lol

just an update, after trying to go back to stock via odin, of course it messed up during due to these problems. I finally got it to restore with odin, but i had to go to someone's house to use a different computer(old win xp,upgraded to 7 computer). Anyway i got it restored, thank God, but i was still having trouble with it connecting...switched from my poem cable to an off brand i bought at best buy and been working fine.

Was trying to factory reset because I was getting a usb device not recognized, reset failed on reboot.
Tried diff pc/cable like other user, had no such luck with several different pc's etc.

What about it Odin mode?

First uninstall and reinstall the drivers for your phone. Get them from Samsung site just to be safe. also try redownloading odin from a different website, could be a bad download. and 'm assuming you have a good USB cable and good USB Ports.
also what model phone are you using? that's in settings--about device--model number

Hi, I'm kinda having the same problem the original poster is having.
My problem is, my windows 7 computers do not see the phone at all, no matter which cable/USB port I use. No beep, no trying to install drivers, no nothing. I'm assuming that unless windows sees the device to begin with... I won't be able to use kies or Odin or heimdall or adb or anything right?

ok, have you checked device manager to see if the phone shows up there? and you're right if it isn't being detected than you can't use it basically lol. I know sucks.
honestly, download the drivers manually and install them. If you're not sure how to check device manager or find the drivers google is you're friend :good: hope you get it working!

Drago, thanks for trying to help me, can't tell you how much I appreciate it bro. Now when it comes to windows, I'm no noob, I actually own a small business going out to people's houses and fixing their computer/WiFi/printer problems. So device manager, yeah I tried "scanning for new hardware" tried and tried, checked and checked, restarted, tried safe mode, tried using different administrator account, nothing. That's when I got this gut sinking feeling, what if something is wrong with the USB port on the phone.
It's a SM-S820L, galaxy core prime. No sound when I plug it in, nothing shows up in 'my computer', no tuh noon sound, and I remember back when the phone was working like normal, I tried to get a picture or two off of it by plugging it in while it was on, I remember it showed up in windows no problem, even without the drivers from Samsung installed. Now nothing happens, even though it says download mode.
I still need your help Drago, don't forget about me

alright well you have one of 3 issues then honestly.
1. phone USB port like you said
2. the PC/laptop USB or..
3.cable or driver issues.
make sure your completly uninstall the phones drivers in device manager while the phone is plugged into the PC. next unplug the phone, restart, reinstall actuall samsung drivers, than try pluggin in again. use a known working USB port also.
sorry I can't give you an answer that's the best I can think of, let me know how it goes!

You can try redownloading Odin and also running Odin as an administrator, that's been the case one in a while. lastly uninstall and reinstalling drivers could help. If this does'nt do it sorry, I'm all out of ideas.

I have same problem with Odin v4.42 and work with Odin3_v3.04,try different version of Odin.
