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.

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 and the only way out: do Off\On with qtek9000 on cable connect.
DOES ANY BODY KNOW, HOW TO FIX THIS BUG?? Any Ideas?
Qtek9000 with laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro \ Win XP SP2
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
Anyone-Please try to help me with these issues:
1. When the unit is in STBY (no screen output) and i connect any USB cable the PDA "wakes-up" and if connected to a PC will start doing a Sync, is there anyway to stop the "wake-up" when connecting a USB cable (-or installing Mini-SD card).......all i want to do is charge the unit while it's in STBY mode. In my old Mio 168RS this could be done in Settings. Maybe someone has a small application that can do this?
2. Sometimes when i innitiate Active Sync i get this Error "To Sync this device you must install ActiveSync 4.0 or higher on your Desktop computer"....but actually i'm running ActiveSync 4.5 already on my PC!!??
Then i need to remove the ActiveSync from my PC and re-install it again until the next time.
Not in stb mode you can switch off the 3600 it still charging etc. only it is off
I don't know if this could help because I never tried it. However, I tried to disable the usb connection from Active Sync for other purposes. In Active Sync program, you can actuallly choose to turn off the usb detection (which can be turned back on anytime). That way, Active Sync will not automatically update your device, hence, turning your device on. In that case, you can just plug in your device for charging purpose.
Thanks for your inputs but this is not what i'm looking for.
In my old Mio168RS there was the possibility in "Settings" that the unit did not come out of STBY mode when connecting to a USB input or when inserting an external SD card.
By the way turning the unit "OFF" will also turn off the phone!!
One additional question that someone might be able to help is if there any way to increase the Speaker Phone volume above and beyond what can be done within the settings.???
well as you connect the phone to USB, a Pop up screen from HTC appeas=rs
it is asking about what kind of connection you want to use.
* Active sync
* Disk drive
* Internet sharing
so why not a Car option?
for example
if i connect the power supply of the car, the pop up comes up, but i have nothing to choose.
but if the option was there for driving car, and then this option would do the following.
it would be great.
for instance,
* start Blue tooth (for handsfrea speaking)
* Change letter font zise to big (so the message`s can be read from the dash mount)
* Change phone settings to auto anser the phone after three rings
and offcourse change the settings back to normal when the power source is disconnected.
and maybe there are other options that makes driving easyer.
maybe even make a setting screen for things that you like to change for the driving settings.
unfortunaly i dont have any knowledge about programming so i leave it up for you wizzards to check out if it is possible.
very cool idea i vote for that too
Hi all,apologies if this issues have been asked about before - I have locked but couldn't specifically find what I was looking for.
I use my HD2 in the car to play music, whilst doing this I want to use the USB port on my stereo to charge the HD2... however the USB mode on the HD2 kicks in and then disables my memory card from being used directly by the phone. Setting the USB mode to activesync makes no difference.
Having plugged the USB cable in it would be nice if the stereo recognised the USB card when I wanted it too so that tracks could be read directly by the stereo. Other USB storage devices I have work fine but setting the HD2 to USB - Disk mode makes no difference, the stereo does not read any tracks. Anyone had this issue too?
Whilst using the HD2 in the car, playing music (charging or not) I'd like to prevent the screen lock for activating, I'd be happy if the screen darkened but with one tap of the screen I would like it to be back to working brightness and active. Is there a tweak to allow this to happen and for the lock to be set manually, for example by pressing the poweroff button?
Thanks all
Dan
It just sounds like your music collection is not compatible with your stereo. When you plug in the USB cable and select "USB drive", yes, it will stop the phone from accessing the SD card, but if you want to play music via the stereo then who cares!
You can also set the backlight to stay on when connected to an external power source (settings, menu, all settings, system, power, backlight).
That should solve all your issues.
Don't forget, it's not just the file type that your stereo might be finniky about. It might not like the bitrate of the tracks either.
Hope this helps
Thanks John...
I'd rather use the HD2 to play the tracks to be honest, with coverflow it is much easier than the clunky button method on the stereo.
Will the back light option also disable the screen lock? Assuming I can't power the HD2 from Stereo (because I need to have the HD2 access the memory card). Then I will have to set the backlight to be on permanently and that will kill the battery Ideally I need to be able to create a profile based on certain circumstances.
The stereo also has a SD card reader so I will try the card from the HD2 in the stereo direct and see if it has any problems accessing the files.
I'm having an issue getting Android Auto to launch in my Subaru Crosstrek 2018 model. It works when I use my Nexus 6p but not with the Essential phone. I've tried different cables and reinstalling Android Auto but no luck. Anybody else having issues with Android Auto in their car with the Essential phone?
I had major problems getting Android Auto to work with my Essential phone.
At first, I kept getting the red screen of death (something about "do this when the car is stopped and the brake is on"...of course the car was stopped and the brake was on...). The next day (after a phone update), I tried again and could get past that screen. But then it wouldn't connect.
Turns out you have to scroll down the notifications and change the connect mode from USB charge to MTP manually. Once you do that, it quickly connects. Why the phone can't automatically do that for you...I don't know. But I've done this repeatedly now and each time it connects once you change to MTP mode.
(I also have USB debugging on--don't know if that's important as well).

Android Auto doesn't kick-in on my '20 Subaru Outback (works on my wife's '19 Nissan Rogue).
Can you specify how to get to this setting. I'm unable to find it...
Thanks

For the current connection, expand the "usb charging" notification, and it will give you a prompt to the available options - just select what you need. To change the default USB connection behaviour, go to Settings - System - Developer options - Default USB configuration, and select an appropriate connection mode.

Funny there is no USB charging notification on the top, but in Default USB configuration should it be on File Transfer? Thanks!
I've never had a problem with android auto on mine, though I think I probably did change the default connection mode to file transfer a long time ago (before I had a vehicle with android auto).
You can also try a USB hub. These resolved the problem:
AmazonBasics 4 Port USB to USB 3.0 Hub with 5V/2.5A power adapter
ASIN B00DQFGH80
TP-Link | 4 - Port USB 3.0 Hub | Slim & Foldable Cord Design | Compact Travel Size with Charging Ports | Universal Compatibility - USB Flash Drive, Notebook, MacBook, PC, Chromebook and More (UH400)
