[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.

I am wondering if someone can help me. I am using the HTC Herald with WM 6.1 -- ITsPapaBlack 6.1v2 -- and trying to use internet sharing while connected to my laptop via USB. My laptops OS is Vista Pro. It connects but once I close out of internet sharing and then just try to connect and use active sync, it will not connect to my phone. I have tried resetting both the phone and the computer to see if that would fix the problem but the results stay the same. The only thing that fixes this is a hard reset. This is the second rom I have had this problem with. Anybody's input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

not sure if it will work for you, but what worked for me (HTC touch pro, custom ROM PROven):
1. go to Settings on your HTC, Connections, USB-to-PC, select ActiveSync radiobutton, uncheck the "Ask me first about...." checkbox.
2. connect your phone using active sync.
3. disconnect (unplug)
4. go to that same settings again. Now select the other radiobutton (DiskDrive), AND check the "Ask me first..." checkbox.
When you now again connect your phone, it will (hopefully) ask what connection you want to make.
Otherwise, try changing the order of the above actions.
hope that helps.
I had the same problem with my Touch Diamond. Simply make sure you uncheck the box "Enable faster data synchronization" in the same settings as mentioned above.
Start -> Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC
(for WM6.5)
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.
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

my phone keeps saying check usb cord but everything is connected and i even used another cord. the laptop with Windows xp.
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?
I used to get a screen on my device asking me for the type of connection required like Kies, mass storage, ask on connection etc., whenever I plug in the usb into my laptop. Now after I did a hard reset, I am not getting this option but straight away gets into Kies mode...but all that I know is that there is a place where I can set this to 'ask on connection' but I guess I forgot where to find this.
Can somebody help pls.
thanks
