Hi,
I'm using DCD 3.2.6 and I've tried the standard windows mobile connection and both nue Mass Storage and Cardstick export. Whenever I connect my phone via USB I get constant "Do you want to scan and fix removable device" messages. Then it disconnects and connects intermittently.
Is this a hardware issue with my USB? I Suppose I can live without USB connections, it's just kind of annoying not to be able to use it as a card reader which it previously did very well. (It seems to have started having issues when I went from 3.3.4 to 3.2.6).

Greets gang,
Several days ago I started getting the subject message appearing in my WinXP system tray. It was on my Gateway laptop and it would appear over and over again, citing 'Unknown Device' when you'd click the annoying ballon. My Jam wasn't even connected at the time.
I basically blew everything away and restored my laptop to factory original settings. Problem persisted. I thought it might be hardware, but the message has now disappeared, only re-appearing when I plug in my Jam. My USB Bluetooth dongle plugs in fine, no errors.
Someone else had bent pins on their USB port or plug--I see none. Anyone else have issues with this, or can anyone offer some help?
Presumably you have installed (re-installed) Active Sync on the PC? As you may already know, as standard the JAM and many other PPCs are not recognised by the computer unless Active Sync is installed [properly].
www.softick.com provide an excellent utility to have your PPC recognise as a removable drive without using Active Sync.
Yes, ActiveSync has been installed & re-installed. New development? I plugged in an 80Gb external hard-drive to that laptop and Winblows is telling me its connected to a non-hi-speed USB port, which it is not. Could be something there.
I'm going to re-flash the Jam to factory ROM, then I will dig into the USB issue.
I had this problem and I tracked it down to the fact that I had picked up the wrong cable!
Same connector but for my camera
The wrong cable thing may very well have been it, but I was also having probs with an external hard drive I was using. I ended up rebuilding my laptop twice and now things seem to be fine. What a drag.

I have the same problem.
It seems, this problem appears mostly on laptops, not on PCs?
I tried to uninstall\install, repair with all ActiveSync data removal or leaving it - No result.
Also, tried to replace the cable (which is ok, im sure with the one from the camera) - No result.
Temporary way out: do Off\On with qtek9000 on cable connect.
Another way out: Turn On the "Enable all incoming beams" flag in Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Beam (this path may vary depend on your Universal brand name). As I seldom need to connect via IR to other devices, I have switched this option off to consume power.
DOES ANY BODY KNOW, HOW TO FIX THIS BUG?? Any Ideas?

it seems dat a noob like me at last can give a help
i have the same problem last time, and as i trace it down, the problem lies on the cable.
as u know that we all use mini usb (usb cable type b) for our o2 mini, but not all type b cable support pc connection, some will only give charging access
i have 2 mini usb cables, one comes from my external hdd, and the other is i buy it myself. the difference is that the 1 i bought actually have a shorter connector (maybe the problem due to this)
so try to buy another cable, as i don't know any other way (reinsatalling pc os, hard-reset device or reinstalling active sync won't solve the problem)
NB. both cables are working when i plug it to my external hdd, so maybe the cable is not faulty. one of the advantage that i got is that i can charge my mini without disabling the active sync usb connection
sorry for my bad english
i can almost essentially confirm that it is NOT the usb cable.. I have been using a usb cable i had around the house for syncing my phone, and it has worked perfectly ever since I first received the phone (over half a year ago), but all of a sudden, i plugged in my device, and received the "usb device not recognized" error message... does anyone know the cause of this?
Ever since I turned off "Accept all incoming beams" to conserve battery power, and others who have upgraded to the new O2 Exec ROM v1.13.188 (which does this automatically), there seems to be a problem with sync'ing the Universal with the PC via USB with an error message "Windows cannot recognize the device... etc."
A remedy that I found:
1) run the "Wireless Modem" application in Universal (make sure your phone is turned on)
2) select "IR"
3) start and stop the modem
This apparently refreshes the USB, and allows the PC to recognize the Universal again.

EDIT: And, of course, the second workaround - to keep the "Accept all incoming beams" swith ON
are you plugging in via a usb hub? i get this sometimes if i plug in my Exec via a usb port on my monitor. if i plug in directly via the front or back of my pc it generally is ok.
one thing i try is when its plugged in and it gives you that message, turn off the device. it should still be charging. now leave it 10-20 seconds and turn the device on. it then normally "kicks in" for me.
i also find stopping Activesync on the Exec then plugging in the device can get it to work.
theres definately a problem somewhere...
btw i havn't loaded the new rom
i get the problem when I plug in to a hub also, but rarely directly.
if i get it by direct connect, a reset normally rectifies. sometimes i also have reset the pc as well as the ppc
Ok, ive got activesync working fine on one of my pcs but on the other it disconnects after about 3 mins. both have identical software antivirus/firewall-wise the only difference is one has a hardware modem/wireless router(the non-working one) and the other uses a wireless usb hub to connect to the internet.
Ive tried pulling the ethernet cable from the back of the non-working pc to no avail, disabling windows firewall etc but nothing stops it disconnecting after about 3-4 minutes.
Ive tried all the suggestions regarding tcp/ip, they were already correct as were the dhcp ones.
im completely baffled by this
the wmstorage program works for a bit longer but gives the error "the device is unavailable due to an i/o error" after about 5 minutes
anyone have a clue why this is happening?
Odd question to ask. Is your unit set to switch off after 3 mins? Just check if the device is on/off (you can have the backlight off, but you should able to see something on the screen) when the activesync disconnect.
on battery power its set to 2 mins but on external (usb?) its unticked. it works ok on the other pc though thats the thing so i assume its a pc settings issue :wink:
As you plugged into the PC directly (not through a USB Hub)? USB hubs have been known to cause problems.
im using a usb extension cable straight into the usb 2.0 card , the only other device is a printer and the keyboard which share a usb hub on another port.
The cable works fine with other devices ie digital camera/camcorder so its not a faulty cable.
Im using a hub on the pc that works (and its only usb1.1) and it shares with the wireless dongle
One thing i did used to get while transferring data was the avg email scanner popping up while my ipaq (which worked fine) was connected. i disabled the email scanner to see if it helped and rebooted but it was no different
ok-think ive fixed it-the (brand new) usb cable must have been faulty cos i connected the mda cable straight into the pc and it worked :roll:
thanks for all your help :wink:
I have the latest ActiveSync, and a 8525 using Windows XP SP2.
ActiveSync was working fine until 2 weeks ago. Now I get an error saying its an unrecognized USB device. If I repair ActiveSync it works only 1 time then I have to repair again.
The phone charges fine, no other issues.
Could this be a USB issue on the phone?
i would first try a different cable or usb port on the pc
Ill give that a shot.
Still does the same thing. Charges fine.
Sometimes it will connect to ActiveSync then drop randomly.
Sometimes when I plug it in it doesnt recognize it.
soft reset your phone and then turn active sync on and off on the phone. Then try to connect.
I had a similar problem. whenever I connected my tytn to my pc, It wouldn't even charge my phone, nor would it activate active sync. the PC wouldn't recognize my device.
The solution that worked for me was to connect it to my pc, keep the PDA on, go into device manager, network adapter - and there it was - the windows mobile based device was disabled..
I have enabled it and now all is back to normal...
I'm having connection troubles with USB. I've isolated the problem, it's my X1.
When I connect it to my PC, the USBtoPC popup works, I can select Activesync, Disk drive or Internet sharing.
When I choose Activesync, nothing happens and my PC doesn't see the device (vista).
When I choose Disk Drive, nothing happens.
When I choose Internet Sharing... you guessed it, nothing happens.
It has worked before, and I've got the feeling that it works sporadically. Another indicator of problems is that when connected, the device shows the charging battery icon, but it doesn't charge!
Now, after swapping the USB connector to another slot on my PC, I've gotten it to run again, but it's a matter of time until it'll start failing (does so every time).
What could be the cause? I'm running Itje's Touch-IT v10.2.
try changing USB cable.
