I have a strange problem with a HTC Touch PRO. Here is my problem:
- I insert the USB cable and the phone asks if I want to use mass storage or activesync
-the phone shows a connection on the screen
-The PC is not sensing anything, the activesync is not connected.
I think this problem appeared after I used a wrong usb cable...
Anyone knows anything what to try? or this is a hardware problem?
Did you select ACTIVESYNC?
There are 2 modes this phone can do..
1) Standard ActiveSYNC or
2) AS a MASS STORAGE DEVICE -like a flash drive...
You have to select ActiveSYNC to actually SYNC software/calendar, else it will show up as just another drive to drag/drop files..
Yes i did it in every way and the computer is not sensing the connection with the phone.
Anyone know what kinf of hardware is responsible for the connection with the pc?

The problem is likely with your operating system on your pc.
You can try things like, un-installing the HTC usb driver in device manager.
Check your firewall.
- allow activesync for trusted
- I know for ZoneAlarm you have to go to the adapters section and set the ipaddress (a new one is created when your phone is hooked up via USB) to be trusted.
If that doesn't fix issue perhaps its a corrupt install of ActiveSync. Try uninstalling and reinstalling.

I've had this happen to me. I've got so many USB to mini-USB cables and they are not all alike.
Sometimes, it would work and sometimes activesync would not recognize it.
CHANGE YOUR CABLE to another. Hopefully, you've labeled the original cable that came with the phone..
(also, look at the mini cable where it plugs into your phone. Make sure there are no loose pins and/or verify that the 'plug' is level.
Try a different USB port
Try unchecking "use advanced network configuration" in Async settings on the phone. Some computers (for various reasons) have a hard time communicating with the phone when it's configured as a network device - unchecking this will often allow Async to find and connect to the phone, at the expense of some other functionality.
coincendentally i am having the same exact issue, it started last night.
i have tried 3 different cords, on all 3 usb ports on my computer. same thing the phone asks what kind of connection i want whether i select disk drive ofr active sync noting happens. whats weird is that the phone is charging when its connected however the computer is not seeing it at all.
i have tried all the recommendations in this thread but nothing is working. anymore help would be greatly apprciated!
Me too I have tryed everything but none is working.
I think that this a hardware problem, and the problem started to happen after i used a non HTC cable, bad quality. I think some kind of controller is dead. So i started to live with that
When I connteced to the PC via USB, my TP also asked me how to connect (AS or as disc). But suddenly it doesn't ask anymore. I had to deactivate "advanced network configuration" to conntect to AS.
The checkbox "ask each time USB connects" is activated.
What can I do that the phone asks again when I connect it?
Thx.
I have the same thing going on... suddenly a few days ago my fuze only charges when I plug it in the desktop with a usb cable... I re-flashed and it worked about halfway through a sync and then started again... I've tried different cables... uninstalled all of the usb drivers, and reinstalled then updated them... Disconnected the power supply... tried every setting on my phone, and in windows.... I've even uninstalled the last batch of windows updates that came out last week... nothing seems to work...
really simple solution.
decheck advanced network config. plug in cable wait till you see usb connected. a small box. after that choose for example activesync
internet share
This happened to me last night and I figured out that after you toggle your internet sharing you can sync up again. Idk why it works out like that but it worked for me.
This sound reasonable, because the last thing I did before was selecting the "internet sharing" option in the menu when you connect to USB.
But what do you mean with "toggle your internet sharing"? Can you please describe it.
Thx.
try this
okay - first see if you're getting an active connection with your pc , not from the network connections window, but by running mymobiler. I was getting a connection through mymobiler, but active sync wasn't recognizing the device. If mymobiler works, Call your phone. it will drop your connection with mymobiler when you answer the call. then hang up the phone call. (all the while leaving your cable plugged into your phone. When the call has been disconnected your activesync will recognize the connection and sync up again. I don't know why this works, but I've been able to duplicate the results several times.
Same htc ****+ wm. Bought an iphone 3g. Everything must be tuned in windows mobile! It doesn't work how it should!
None of this seems to be working... I've even flashed new roms and it stops working halfway through the sync... it doesn't even appear as though windows recognizes the device... it makes no noise or pop-up when I connect it...
Still charges though... Don't know what is going on...
Reinstall Mobile Device Manager!

I've experienced this issue multiple times, as I use my TP to sync with many stations. The solution is way more simple than you think and it has nothing to do with cables!.
You probably use Win Vista so all you need is to uninstall "Windows Mobile Device Center", restart the PC and install a fresh copy from MS site.

If you're on XP, do the same with the Active sync solution for XP.
Good luck!
yeah this happens to me every now and then. the advanced network configuration option really helps, but sometimes i just need to plugin/unplug the usb cable from teh phone/cable or cable/computer a couple more timesbefore it picks it up...
goodluck!
I've successfully gotten the Pandora app to work great on my HTC Touch Pro 2 phone (WinMo 6.5) following advice from another thread here, and have a device adapter for my larger computer speakers...it sounds great! Thanks!!
However...whenever I'm listening (at work) and connect the phone to my computer (via USB), Pandora stops working! In the Microsoft ActiveSync Connection Settings, I even have "allow wireless connection to device when connected to the desktop" selected, but selected or not, it still stops playing when I connect it to my computer. (I want to keep it connected so the battery stays charged).
So basically, I want to listen to Pandora thru my phone and keep it charging at the same time. (It charges as it's connected thru USB. I can't listen to Pandora thru my work computer, cuz it's blocked by a Barracuda filter.) Is it somehow reading my phone as an extra drive? If so, is there a way to turn this on and off as needed?
Any clues on how to fix this? Keep it simple, cuz I am a newbie when it comes to messing with this stuff.
Thanx!
(sorry if this question has been posted before...I couldn't find anything on it...)
Hello all - I ran into a problem with my phone and a new car. I have a car equipped with the Ford Sync software and when I plug the phone into the USB port it starts playing some navigation route I took about 6 months ago. It continuously connects and disconnects. It never acts like it is going to charge the phone which is all I really want it to do.
Is there a way to change a setting that will tell the phone to only charge and not try to sync any data like there used to be on my WinMo phone?
you have to drag the status bar down ( top of screen with time, battery,usb, ect)
when usb is connected you will see
ongoing
tap on usb connection
select charge only or try windows media sync or usb mass storage
if you don't see this when connected to car
try a computer, phone will remember setting
Completely bone-stock S6, I'm having an issue where something I'm deleting/disabling/a setting is completely turning off the data component of the USB connection.
What I mean by this: After a factory reset, the phone works perfectly. It connects via USB and allows me to select either MPT or PTP mode no problem. However, as I start removing the bloatware from the S6, something is happening that causes the S6 to not be able to connect to ANYTHING. I've tried multiple computers, cables, nothing works.
When plugged in, I get the "charger connected" notification and the phone charges fine, but now there's no option to select MTP or PTP mode. The computer doesn't recognize a device has been plugged in at all.
Someone else reported the same issue here:
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/109991/galaxy-s6-not-seen-by-pc-at-all/110752#110752
but no one resolved it, and the answers posted were given by people who didn't seem to understand the question at all.
I'd really prefer not to have to factor reset AGAIN, and clearing the phone of bloatware/getting all of the settings updated involves dozens of steps, it'd take forever to do them one at a time to figure out what disables the USB "driver" or whatever it is on the phone that allows it to communicate.
Got my Pixel 3 XL yesterday and absolutely love it...
Just in case anyone else experiences issues I thought I would post this - did an online chat with Google and they think it might be a bug in the OS.
Connecting to my PC or Car, the device was showing the USB options when you swipe down for notifications permanently on Charging Only. Even changing this from that drop down had no effect. I could see the device on my PC but unable to view files/folders and unable to copy anything to the device. Similar symptoms in my car, the device would charge fine but no matter what I did it wouldn't connect to my Infotainment System.
To fix this I had to enable Developer Options, scroll down to Networking and there is a "Default USB configuration" setting. This was set to "No data transfer", I changed it to "File transfer" and rebooted and now everything works fine.
Hopefully this might help others :good:
Does your phone fast charge while using Android Auto?
I don't think so, how can I check that.
I've only had the device a couple of days now but have noticed that when I'm using it in the car running Google Maps and streaming music via AA it still seems to charge.
Doing the same on my original Pixel XL I would loose 1-2% over about 30-40 mins, not sure if that's just because the battery was starting to deteriorate.
Thanks, but for some reason that didn't work for me. Tried this with and without USB debugging and car is just not seeing the phone for AA, but charges it fine. Also tried 4 different cables just in case, if I plug in an S8+ to any one of those cables it works perfectly with the car.
