Syncing via cable unreliable - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Hi
I'm pretty new to my S110 and I found that syncing via usb cable is pretty unreliable and slow. Sometimes it would not start at all, sometimes it would no sync all data and sometimes (like that moment) it just does not seem to comunicate well displaying "connecting to device" at the avantgo section for minutes now.
Syning via BT does not have such problems. Any ideas how to cure that?

i've experienced the same problem with my S100 if the usb cable was plugged to a usb hub. never had the problem again since i connected the usb cable direct to a usb port on my pc.

That might be worth looking into, I connect to a built in 3.5'' USB/FireWire bub + sound. I'll see if its better when I connect directly to USB on my MB, problem is it's quite uncomfortable - I need to crouch under my desk to get to the back of my PC.
One thing I noticed, it seems random. I just synced again in a matter of secs and all went smoothly using my hub. Not so a few hours ago, problems over problems. And I havent changed a thing.

Can't connect to Active Sync

:roll:
My Mini XDA can't connect to my PC via USB cable anymore, it can only recharge the battery.
My iPaq connects flawlessly, so it's not my PC.
Any suggestion ???
Mine does not connect after been run even a little bit. However if I do a soft reset and connect to the usb cable it seems to hook up right away. Whe I first got it it did not have any problems like this and I would like to fix it if possible.

EXEC Not recognised via USB

I get a rather frustrating mesaage when I connect my O2 Exec via the USB port. It takes about 3 time before the connection with the comp finally happen.
The message is - 'USB Device not recognised' ' One of the USB devices has malfunctioned ........'.
Does anybody else have this problem and can anybody help?
Yep
I get the same problem but only with one PC. It happens on either USB port and is not helped by adding a USB hub. As such i am investigating the problem as if it is PC based.
Is this with ActiveSync or CardExport? Either way try rebooting PC first, wait for it to finish loading Windows. Power off your Universal, connect cable to Universal and PC then power on Universal. Seems to work okay for me. If you are using CardExport, remember you can't change modes while connected.
Regards
I have an O2 xda mini and that connects first time every time.
Found it strange that the Exec did not do same!
I have this on one PC - make sure the XDA is turned off first. Then plug the USB cable in and it should power up by itself and get recognised by the PC.
Also make sure you are using the very latest ActivSync (4.1 I believe).
Thanks lads - connect the cable while the Exec was off and it cobnnects first time. Good stuff!!
Why is that?
I think its the phone not the pc that is at fault, as i had a usb car charger and a usb power charger, both using a standard usb lead and the same fault applies, obviously just charging, AS wouldnt happen would it lol.
me missus just got a wizard and none of these faults occur on it
I concur that the plugging in USB while Uni is switched off is much more successful. Can I check with you guys - can you activesync by USB while bluetooth is on? I've not been successful with that.

PC Reboot upon USB Connection of Hermes

Hello,
Its been few months now that I have this issue, and wasn't able to solve it yet
Every time I connect my TyTN/ Hermes on the USB port of my laptop it causes a n immediate reboot. Even when the Laptop starts again when the usb ports are reactivated (the Hermes is still plugged-in) it reboots again and again ...
This is very inconvenient (...) I would say because I can neither Sync (Activesync 4.5) nor recharge my TyTN through the USB port. Even if I disable communications on activesync it does the same ...
Any ideas? anyone had similar issues?
Thanks a lot

yasou christoforos,
what happens when you plug in other USB devices, like a portable storage device or a mouse or something? Something could be wrong with your motherboard or hopefully just the OS. What model laptop is it?

USB cable not working, how do I download anything?

Hi I'm looking for some good, hopefully free, games for my HD but for some reason my USB lead has given up and I don't know how else to do it or any suitable sites?
My USB worked when I first got it, I synced with my laptop and backed everything up. Now when I plug both in the phone still charges but neither the phone or the laptop seem aware of each other! Any ideas?
Any suggestions of sites for free games that don't require USB downloads? Or what might of happened to my USB?

Have you checked usb drivers?
Put your phone into bootloader by turning off device, then holding vol down and pressing power on. You should have a tricolour screen. Now connect phone to pc via usb cable. Does bopttom of bootloader screen change from 'Serial' to 'usb'? If not, update usb drivers here
As for games. There is a list of games which work on the HD in the wiki. Try searching Themes, Applications and Software forum. Also, any further queries regarding games should be in Themes, Applications and Software forum
if all else fails use bluetooth to sync and install stuff
Search, find, download, extract.
Place downloaded on sd card (cardreader)
Insert sd card and install apllication
I have had a similar problem with my TD2, when I use the usb cable that came with the phone it charges (from the mains plug), then when connected to the PC it will detect it and sync fine, I got bored of swapping the single cable from the charger to the PC so decided to use a spare usb cable (retractable one I had for the cig lighter for my car), it charges fine (in car or charger or PC), but Windows XP gives an error. If I swap back to the other cable its fine, I dug out an old cable from my XDA Orbit and that is ok as well.
In conclusion, all usb cables are not the same, and my TD2 is more fussy with cables !! Try using a different cable.
Quite Right you are. Had the same problem a while ago. Got sick of this so I cut the not working cable. Guess what...? The bugging cable only had two threads inside. It was a cable for charging only...http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[Q] Dodgy USB connection

When I connect my Nexus 4 to my MacBook Pro and try to transfer files (or even just connecting it, not doing anything) my phone just comes in and out of connection. I know when my phone is connected when the File Transfer program (downloaded from Google) pops up.
The File Transfer program just randomly opens and closes, and sometimes when I'm in the middle of transferring a big file my phone disconnects and I have to start the transfer all over again (really frustrating).
I wonder if anyone else had this problem, or if anyone know of a culprit that could be causing this connection problem.
Anyone?! D:

Oh boy, no one?
Sounds like a dodgy USB cable or port. Try switching both. If it still happens, connect to a windows PC to see if it's the phone.
Not sure what the problem is but I have this happen on occasion too. I'm running Windows 7 so it's not a Mac issue.
I have problems with certain usb cables, some work and some don't. I get the best results using the usb cable that came with the phone, it has never given me a problem.

I have better results using my old Vibrant usb cable. OEM is kind of crappy for some reason. Once and a while I can unplug the charger from the wall and phone and still have some kind of electrical buzzing in the charger.
the OEM (Stock USB that came with my phone) charger doesn't give me any trouble either.
When I plug it in my laptop to charge, the charging is spotty (I assume because the electric output from the laptop is not strong enough). So I plug it into a wall outlet, no problem.
It's only when I connect to a computer when the connection gets interrupted and messes up my file transfers, annoyingly... so me and md5 are best friends now.
I just don't know if there is something causing this besides the phone, or is it the phone itself (so i can contemplate RMA)
If others have this issue then I want to know if they fixed it or found a workaround...

When I plug my phone into my desktop pc with an alternate usb cable I have it constantly disconnects and reconnects. As soon as I use the stock usb cable it stops doing it and works. I really haven't looked to see what the difference is between the cables could just be that the alternate I use is just cheap. The other cable works fine with my other phones too so its weird.
