USB connection issue - HD2 General

Normally when I connect the USB-cable I get the options menu where I can choose, AS, Disk or Internet Sharing. But now it launches Internet Sharing immediately when cable is connected..
I've checked the settings and the "always ask" is checked and no matter what I do I can't get the HD2 to turn up as a disk anymore..
My HD2 is plain vanilla without any tweaks... and of course rebooted the phone as well as the pc.
All tips or advice greatly appreciated.

No one with the same issue or an idea?

Cannot connect via USB

Hi Friends and Gurus,
I'm stumped . I cannot get any connection to my PC via USB. I don't get the "du-duh" connect sound. The connection is not present in my network connections.
Here are the steps to reproduce:
Unlocked Cingular 8525, WM5 official update
ActiveSync 4.5 uninstalled and reinstalled on PC
Attach phone to computer via USB cable (in any of 3 USB PC ports)
Phone gets power via USB cable (light on Hermes turns amber), but..
Problem:
No connection sound (du-duh)
No connection visible in network connections
A bit more info:
In messing around, I could have set something incorrectly on the phone. But I'm afraid (and embarassed to admit) I don't know where to start.
I've searched this site and have not found the magic cure.
If you have any tips, suggestions, settings to try, etc., i'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Chris
as silly as this sounds... mine wont connect to activesync or mymobiler if I have WiFi enabled on the 8525.
Just pointing that out in case you hadnt tried it
Thanks densmore,
Mine used to work even with WiFi on (so for a while I was in better shape than you ) , but now, it doesn't matter either way (so now I'm much worse off than you ).
I'll keep hoping for other suggestions here, but appreciate your tip.
Chris
try this...
go to device manager and uninstall usb hub and then search for new devices and it will reinstall itself. reboot and try again.
I suppose you have 'enable advanced network functionality' unticked?
If not:
start/settings/connections/usb to pc/ untick
If you have, try ticking it, soft reset, try to connect again.
I suppose you have rebooted your pc/laptop?
deleted the partnership and reformed it?
tried another usb port?
also, this is a useful source of info:

If I think of more, I'll come back.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=318425 for a complete review of MyMobiler
Just another thing to confirm. You have not used the likes of memmaid to remove notifications and accidentally removed repllog entries?
You can use the likes of sktools to confirm that the repllog entries to start Active Sync are present.

probebly this is a stupid request , i am struck with a auto connection to internet option when i connet usb to my computer , i do not get the htc option sceeen any more , now i am not able to sync to my pc or use memory card, please help
Go to Start Menu...Settings...Connections.... USB to PC and then select Activesync.
You can also re-enable the ask me every time option if you like.
thanks tried that .. still does not work
thanks guys , problem solved after restarting my pc
it dosent work for me.... i cannot connect my HD to my Computer. he always wanna start the internet shainrg... please help!
ActiveSync does not allways works properly with all computers. You could try Start Menu...Settings...Connections.... USB to PC and then uncheck the first option after ActiveSync (something like 'activate advanced network functionality' -I am sorry but my OS is in Spanish-).
I had to do this in one of the PCs I sync with HTC HD, though in other case it synced with no problem.
hmm its worked, but the internet sharing are starting too...
hi i have same problem with automatic start internet sharing... It is some solution for me how disable opening internet sharing after connect to usb?

This problem seems to have cropped up on at least 3 different threads, and with no sensible fix so far!
I am having problems on my stock Rhodium WWE, where I used to get a choice of AS or Storage card as mass storage, now I just get the internet connection sharing screen.
I have tried the various other fixes presented, but no luck so far.
same problem...

Won't connect to 3G when docked!

Hi all.
I have the problem that when I have the HD docked either in my carcharger or regular charger it won't go online on 3G network.
I think there might be a setting saying it should use USB connection instead of 3G when available, but cannot find it.
Can any of you recollect where to find it?
Right click the active sync icon in your system tray and open up "connection settings..."
On that dialog, make sure that "Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop" is ticked, and that it says "This computer is connected to" "Work Network". (That last setting tells it not to use the USB connection as an internet connection.)
I used to have the same issue and those steps fixed it. Hope you have the same result mate.
Actually, I've just reread your question and noticed that it doesn't work when plugged into the charger, not just a PC.
I'm afraid that advice won't help at all, and I've never had a problem with this unless connected to a PC.
Good luck with it!
Is there any chance that you have an automatic profile selector?
I use SPB Phone Suit and have the phone off when I'm charging at night.
Thanks for you comments.
I will try a hard reset and see if I somehow can change something in the setting up.
If I find an answer I will post it here.
Thanks.

HD2 goes straight to Internet Sharing...

I know not why but my HD2 has started going direct to Internet Sharing when I plug it into my PC.
This means I cannot get to use WMDC to sync or browse the storage via my PC.
I don't recall setting it to always connect for Internet Sharing & never ask again but could do with finding out how to reset this feature so it asks my preference for the connection every time.
Anybody know how please?
Open Start -- Settings -- All Settings -- Connections -- USB to PC.
In here you can change it to what you like as default, but there is a tick box at the bottom which stops it being shown etc.
Thanks for the reminder!! Doh!
However... the "Ask..." checkbox was already ticked!
Seems to beworking a bit better right now having un-/re-ticked each setting as I require & doing 2 restarts.
WMDC seems to be playing nicely again now.
Thanks
Eddie
my phone keeps saying check usb cord but everything is connected and i even used another cord. the laptop with Windows xp.

ActiveSync, internet sharing choice

[edit] Strange, it seems to have fixed itself. I get the menu now. Weird, but I'll take it.
When I connect my Touch HD to my computer it used to give me a choice of atciveSync, browse as hard drive, or internet sharing. There was a little checkbox "Don't ask me again". I never checked it but it must have become checked somehow because now when I connect ot my computer it always goes to internet sharing mode without giving me a choice. How do I get my choice menu back? Under "more options"->"Usb to PC" there is a checkbox "Ask me first about USB connection type when I connect the device to the PC". I have that checked but it still doesn't give me the menu choice. Any help would be appreciated.
