Please help I have a LOT of important things that I want to transfer to my computer especially contacts.
Is it possible that I can transfer some contacts to the sim from the phone memory? I never saw an option for that.
on top of that, the phone cannot charge so I cant even get any important numbers that I need! please anyone can you let me know if this phone is a goner...
yes u can copy the contacts form to ur sim BUT the thing is that the copying is kinda limited for me it would usually copy only one number and thats it all the rest of the info for that contact wasnt able to be copied
the program is usually in the program folder and is called Sim Manager
???
is it possible that the USB port can be fixed at all? this phone has soo much for me to get off of it, I atleast need to be able to hook it up to the computer...
If you're in the UK, I've used this company to fix my USB port and they provided an excellent service

its funny I long on in regards to that same problem. my usb port doesn't look damage, but it dosent react to my charger or usb cables. I thought it was my battery. so I bough a battery off ebay thank goodness it already had 70% charge. I also ordered a charger want see if I need a specefic charger for it to be detected. I'm willing to pay to fix the usb, but I'm in the usa.
I had the same problem recently and based on the board, the usb port wasn't really soldered that well. Anyway, maybe there's a hardware store that repairs there, that's what I did. Of course, I'm sort of pissed that the guy broke the volume slider. Now it just sets the volume to max or to minimum. Btw, If you do get your usb port fixed, max sure to test if the pc can read and write on the wizard. When I got my phone back, it could only read.

Hi
I have a serious problem. While my athena was being charged with my car charger I saw smoke in the charger. I disconnected it from the athena but probably too late. Now the mini usb is totally dead: I cannot charge it or connect to the pc and the light around the joystick doesn't light up when I insert the cable into the mini usb. Now there's 20% of the battery left so soon I'll have to do sth about it.
My question is can it be fixed without sending it to the service? They keep it a horribly long time in my country.
I'd really appreciate any help,please
You can charge the battery with the Athena cradle, they are cheap in ebay and come with a battery so when the Athena battery is nearly empty you just swap with the one in the cradle.
To connect with the computer you can use a bluetooth dongle, it will work with activesinc files transfer etc
otherwise the only solution for the USB connector is send it for service and depending of the damage it may be either a easy patch or a new board if there is tracks damage
Good luck
Thanx for aome advice PBL1. I suspected that I can't fix it without having it sent to the service. I guess I'll wait and see what they do (it's still under guarantee) before I decide to buy the docking station as it is rather expensive for Polish conditions. On the other hand I've been thinking of buying it for some time already, perhaps it's high time I did it.
I just don't know how they will react to the Michy Prima ROM cause I have no means of flashing back to the factory one. Thanx again for the advice
I can tell you that the total cost to my docking station was £30 if I remember correctly, that included the postage and the battery, given the price of the battery alone, it was worthwhile because I consider essential to have a fully charged extra battery if I am somewhere without possibility to charge.
I believe You may downgrade the room by the miniSD card method, do a search around here, there several threads about upgrading the rom with that method, it is worth to consider since some body posted that he sent the athena for servicing with SPL 3.5 and HTC flashed the original rom without considering that it was the wrong SPL, basically they sent back the item to the customer with a black screen.
However if you have SPL3.5 and want to use the downgrader to go back to SPL1.2 or to the original SPL perhaps you may check with cmonex that it is possible with out risks.
If you are in SPL1.2 I don't think you should have any problem.
regards
Yes you're abolutely right about a spare battery and the docking station. I have already decided (have been thinking all day today) to buy both as constant charging is a bit annoying. As for downgrading I'll really have to search for a mini sd solution cause the htc service in Poland might not be really user friendly. BTW could you possibly send me a link to a place with docking stations at this price? In Poland it costs more or less $100 and on ebay you may find cheaper ones but with one usb slot not two.
There you got

Note: these do not include battery, at the time I got it they offered the extra battery in the package ( it was a wile ago), if I remember correctly the cheapest battery at the time seemed to run at £24 today it looks that you can find them must cheaper.
Note 2: since you USB connection is dead you can use the cradle for extra battery charge, VGA and USB host (external memory storage devices such as drives,card readers) I didn't try external keyboards mouses and such but they should work.
but you cannot use the USB for communication with your computer (activesink, USB to PC....) because the cradle use the normal micro USB for those, for those you can use Bluetooth as explained early but of course that is not good for rom flashing
I wouldn't suggest using that car charger anymore. If its under warranty, you'll definitely want to reflash the original ROM. Whatever you do, don't try to flash a ROM or downgrade your SPL using a bluetooth dongle
Hi
I have just received the cradle plus an extra battery, there asre still some cheep offers on ebay.
Now, as Weaselcossey says I have to flash the oryginal ROM via mini SD card. J've been searching this place but couldn' find an easy step by step instruction, expecially how to extract the .nbh file from the exe file thet the oryginal ROM is in. Does any one lnow some links?
I never done myself but perhaps you could try this?

I'm going to try it out just now. But anyway it's kind of hard for me to part with my athena. That's why I've been waiting with giving it to the service, especially now wwith 2 batteries and the cradle. By the way there's also a nice mains charger on Ebay which Iwill probably buy soon: http://cgi.ebay.pl/O502-Desktop-battery-charger-for-HTC-Advantage-X7500_W0QQitemZ260138961370QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item260138961370&_trkparms=72%3A1399%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
Hello everyone, I have a couple of questions to ask all of you great phone gurus
**If this is the wrong forum for this sort of thread, I apologize in advance**
Basically I have ruined the USB connection on my Touch Cruise. I am wanting to know if there is any way I can access my files on the phone by having it connected to my wireless network at home (ie a program or something I can run on my PC.) Reason I ask is I am trying to edit the HTC weather Plugin to show my location (Lebanon, OH, USA) and it is quite hard/impossible to do using the phone alone.
Second question is, is it possible to replace a damaged USB connector? I know it is probably ruined but I figure it might be worth a try. I had attempted to hook up my front USB header on my motherboard, but plugged them in backwards. I managed to salvage the phone by removing the actual USB piece from the phone and pulling the wires out. Luckily I am still able to use the phone (nothing else besides the USB connector is messed up) by purchasing an external battery charger + battery.
I know these are probably both a shot in the dark but any help anyone could provide would be GREATLY appreciated.
You can sync via bluetooth if you have it on your computer, or wifi search in google for that (ex: http://wifi.aximsite.com/sync.html)
I tought replace it will be very hard .
just out of curiosity could you please give us some screenshots as i'm having a real hard time understanding what you did and how it looks now? ^^
using bluetooth will help and maybe a card reader + microSD might speed things up. find a good file manager for WinMO
i doubt that there is any way to acces phones files through wireles so bluetooth is the only wireless (and supported) way
I don't have a camera currently but just look at your USB connection on your phone then imagine that there is absolutely nothing in it. It is just an empty 'rectangle'. No wires or the little horizontal piece that normally sits in there. Just an empty 'rectangle.'
Thanks for the replies. I am trying the wireless sync now.
Thanks a bunch
Hello All,
I have enjoyed reading other threads to find out more about my HTC 3333.
I have had my Touch 2 for a couple of months now, however lately, and quite frequently, I receive this annoying message 'the device doesnt support the USB headset. Please remove it.' There is nothing attached to the USP port, yet this message appears. I have used the USB port for synching with my laptop and have used the factory supplied cable as well as a standard mini USB cable.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Your valued opinions and advice would be appreciated
I have never seen this on my phone. It could be rom bug, or on the other hand it could be from a program you recently installed.
I thought a busted rom might be the problem so uploaded the latest rom from the HTC site. After installing the latest rom from HTC all the programmes and files on the phone were wiped but the message keeps appearing... I figure now I might have done some physical damage to the USB port.. I am not looking forward to sending my phone to HTC care for repair..
Even my HTC got the same issue. I think, as we had given with 3.5mm port the USB headset has disable.
Have you noticed any other mobile working with USB ? I dont think so ......
I found on another thread, another HTC user had a similar problem. The solution they said was to clean out the USB port because it had filled up with lint and other junk from their pocket. I just cleaned it as best I could with a soft bristled brush and will wait and see if that has helped reduce frequency of the warning sign popping up! It's a minor problem but it's enough to drive you mad! :
If this doesnt help, then for sure its a USB problem. You might wanna send it to repair service or use only bluetooth.
I have a brand new phone, which also gives this message. I did assume it was due to the presence of the 3.5mm port.
I had same problem a couple months ago. You should give the phone your technical service because there is a problem on your mainboard
I think the problem may only be with the USB cable you are using. I had this warning with one cable I bought in China, but not with the original cable. My original cable has just died so I pulled out the cable from china and the warning comes back.
Ok, Day 2 on my Powerskin and I love it... However... I plug it into my PC's USB and the phone is not seeing it as being connected to a computer, so in essence, I can't trasnfer files to the SD Card with the skin on.
Is this normal? Is this defective?
My phone is stock, non-rooted or anything like that.
edit: When I take it out of the Powerskin, it works as expected.
Ok, talked to support and they did state with certainty that this case is NOT supposed to impeede any connection passthrough to the phone.
They suggested that I take it back to the retail store and try a replacement case.
What? I have a powerskin,, and when I plug the skin into the computer with the phone in, it doesn't detect the phone. I don't even think it's supposed to.

According to the T-Mobile tech I spoke with, it IS supposed to see it as normal. The case is NOT supposed to block USB pass through in anyway.
Then me, my brother and his friend must all have defective cases too. We have the Powerskin case, and it doesn't connect to the PC at all. USB Debugging doesn't start, USB drive doesn't start, it just charges.

I tried 5 other cases at the store. The store manager called support and was told the same thing as they told me (that USB should work) but in the end, either they ALL are defective, or T-Mobile support does not have a clue...
Guess which one I'm going with?
Trust me, with all of these huge corporations, Tech Support is probably one of the worst ideas you could choose for help. They get paid to waste your time. At least, that's how I see it. I usually turn to online help, many people on these forums almost always understand the problem.

I normally turn to on-line help as well, however, not many people have these (that I have found) because they care too much about the "sleek and sexy" look than actual function and usability. LOL!
Hi. I have a problem here. Is it possible to flash new rom directly through bootloader, my activesync is not working properly, and something is wrong with my usb connection - when I connect my device to PC via usb, in bootloading mode - it gets connected and disconnnected about 50 times in one minute, no .RUU is able to recognize it for long enough to complete the instalation. I've tried to reinstall the activesync, did hard reset of my phone, deleted relationships - but no luck. What worries me most is that usb connection problem. It's only with HD2, all other devices connect properly. Anyone knows the answer, what should I do in order to fix that? P.S I always remove sim and sd card, and disable my antivirus programs and firewalls during my flashes....
Bricked it.
And now - I'm stuck...seemed I finally got connected via usb through bootloader for longer than two minutes, so I started fleshing my radio... and it got disconnected after a minute by itself again, in the midllle of the process...Now, there's an upgrade rom code error on green field of my bootloader, telling me to try again, only - I can't do recovery, cause my usb connection gets on/off 50 times a minute, whenever I try to do the recovery .... Any suggestions?
Have you tried another USB port? Perhaps even another computer.
Have you also eliminated the posibility of the cable that you use to connect your HD2 is damaged in some way.....
You can also flash ROM/Radio via SD card......
There is a sticky thread that explains how to do so.....
You basically need to extract the main file from the rom/radio and rename it to LEO.img, place it on the root of your SD card and turn on the phone whilst holding vol. down.
Check this thread for a more complete set of instructions.
Hope that helps......

Have youctried a different USB cable to see if you can keep a connection then? Youmight have a bad USB cable. If trying another USB cable and different USB ports does not help you might have a faulty USB port on your HD2 in that case you can still use your SD card tocflash Windows Mobile ROMs and radios but if you flash a official ROM via SD card it reverts HSPL so be aware of that as you will not be able to get HSPL back if you have a faulty USB port on your HD2. Go to the link to lean about flashing via SD card.

Thanks for replies and suggestions... I did try different usb ports, but haven't try different cable, I'll do that tomorrow, first thing I get myself one. I'm not planing to flash official rom, I plane to flash another custom, as soon as I deal with this radio interrupted. I do hope it's not faulty usb port of my phone though ...and if it is, that it can be fixed...

If it is a faulty USB port for your HD2 it can be fixed but by replacing the USB port if needed or just resoldering some on your existing one but from what I read it is really best done by a proffesional, go to the link below and read through thatcthread as you will se what I mean, it is only 3 pages long so read the intior thread it is not much reading.

The easiest way to fix a bad USB port on a HD2 is to replacecthe intior main board.
Thanks for the thread, T-Macgnolia, if it turns out to be faulty usb port on HD2 - I have no intentions to fix it myself, it'll go to service right away ... I do hope it's not, though, as I never had a problem charging my phone, it charged good and fast until this "accident" . I like to believe that it's not gonna take a new motherboard in order to be able to use my phone in the way I used to, and cause of which I'm addicted to it

I hope you don't have to have the main board changed either. Bit know this in the USB port on the HD2 has I think 4 pins in it two are for charging and two are for data and it sounds like your data pinswould be the ones with a issue if your USB port is bad as you still have to wait until you can try a different USB cable. At any rate though I wish you the best of luck.
Ok people, I've sorted it out ... Lucky me - no faulty usb port on HD2, no faulty cable, and, no faulty HD2 ... I've flashed a different radio from sd card, and also rom, and now - connectivity with my pc is - never better ... Even ActiveSync is working like it hasn't been in 6 months, hahahhhh ... Point is - it was my pc punishing me for playing with it's registry, few nights before ... I was really confused, cause HD7 had excellent connectivity with my pc, but HD2 really bad, so I really thought there was something wrong with my beloved HD2 ... Than, I remembered I've messed with my registry the other night, and deleting some non-existing pocket pc paths in it... So, I repaired my windows on pc, and now everything works like a charm .... What can I say - curiosity can have very high price, sometimes .... But - fortunately I'm lucky, as it gets ...
