Anyone else think that it is a disgrace that at launch the only way to connect your galaxy s to a mac is through turning on USB Debugging? How did they let this flaw get through? Also what annoys me off more than anything is that I'm still waiting for them to fix this problem! It's not a hard task to turn debugging on, it's just that I shouldn't have to!
Yup, annoys the crap out of me as well.
Makes me mad when I forget to disable it and plug it into my work PC and Windows throws a wobbly about drivers.

hi, am sorry if this has been posted but i cant seem to find the solution of my problem.
am using cingular 8125 and upgraded it to WM6.1 and activesync 4.5.
now the problem is, i can not find a disconnect button or how do i disconnect my phone from my PC.
Sry,cudn't get what you are trying to ask ? wud you elaborate a little more.
well,if you simply want to disconnect your phone,then just 'unplug' your phone from the usb cable or if you want to delete partnership with the phone,you can do it in the 'File' option of the AS.
Cheers!
can i just unplugged it directly without disconnecting it? i mean just like the usb flash drive before you can unplugged it you have to do a safely remove hardware operation first. and also like the xda II mini there's an option or a button when you want to disconnect it or stop the sync from the pc.
i hope, i explained it correctly.

Yes there is no real danger when "hot unplugging" your phone. It's more stable than most flash drives or external HDDs. As an option, you could always shut down your computer first.
thank you very much
Sorry for the ultra bump, I didn't want to start a new thread, but this doesn't help me. Whenever I hot unplug my phone, all the USBs stop responding and I can't plug anything back in, without rebooting first. I'm using a Diamond, but this shouldn't be a problem, since it's AS that messes up.
Hi Guys, hopefully someone can help me here it is driving me crazy - well, here is my issue.
Doesnt matter what PC I plug my HD into it doesnt get picked up, i looked in device manager and still nothing. Its like its not connected, but it shows on the phone that it is charging. And does charge.
Can someone please help?
Thanks!
Settings - Connection - USB to PC - uncheck 'enable advanced network functionality'
All that was there is ' Enable faster data synchronization '
No advanced network functionality. Im on Telstra NextG Network Australia with there crappy stock rom if that helps.
I'm looking at a stock Touch HD and you're right- they changed the name of the box. So uncheck 'enable faster data synchronization'.
I did but it is still not working.
I have also done a hard reset and restore to manufacturers default and still not working.
What kind of PC are you using? Is it XP? If so you need to download ActiveSync.
Using XP.. I have downloaded and installed Activesync. It used to be picked up on every pc and suddenly now it doesnt.
Opened Activesync ports in your firewall settings?
Yeah its all fine, its as though the PC doesnt even recognise it. Doesnt show up in Disk Management.
hi lucky
you're already the 3rd one with this problem.
if you plug-in the usb connector, is there a dialog popping up on your hd which let's you choose between synch or hd mode?
if not, welcome to the group of disapointed htc owners.
there is already a thread somewhere about this problem. i have exactly the same, but no one could help me until now.
at least i found a way to flash a rom. the usb connection was working for about 20 minutes. afterwards it broke down again...
try the following:
1. shut down hd
2. remove SD and Sim Card
3. plug in the usb cable
4. do a hard reset by holding vol up and vol down while you press the power button
5. confirm the hardware reset
6. when the hd is booting up again, it will do some kind of customization process. during this process active sync should come up on your pc. cancel the device setup in acive sync and wait until your hd is completely configured.
7. afterwards reconnect the usb cable and active sync should work for a while...
let me know if it helped. i'm still searching for a permanent solution for this problem...
Nope, didnt work at all.
Not even the choice to decide what I want to do pops up on the phone.
Do you think it could be a hardware fault?
I think it is a hardware fault because i did a SPL boot and instead of 'USB' showing in the white box "Serial" did.
It just seems wierd because it was working fine for 2 weeks and then it all the sudden stopped and I did no ROM flashing or anything.
Should I try reflashing my device through the SD card and see how I go from there?
did you try a different cable???
I have about 20 different USB -> mini USB and only about 2/3 of them work with phones !!!
Yeah ive tried all different cables, ive tried ones that work with my diamond but still dosent work with my hd.

Are you getting anything popping up in device manager when you plug it in, in other words does the list refresh like it has detected a new hardware device or is it completely silent? I have seen it a couple of times where a device gets stuck as being recognized as something else. If the list does scroll (responds to the HD being plugged in) do a screen shot of everything in DM then plug the HD in and compare the lists to see if it is showing up as something else. If so, delete the device then unplug and plug in the HD again and have it reinstall the driver.
Good luck,
Gordo
I did what you said Gordo, and it doesnt show up inDevice Manager. Its as though its not even plugged in but for some reason it still recharges off the USB.
I guess about the only other thing I can think of is to plug it in on another PC and see if that computer tries to load a driver. If it does then it is something strange with your computer. If it doesn't then there is something bad with the USB port on the HD (maybe).
Gordo
Yeah I tried that but still nothing, im sending it back to Telstra, since its within 14 days of me getting it I get a whole brand new one!
thanks for your help guys
Hi,
This might be a newbie issue but my HD2 was working well up until few days ago when I noticed that everytime I make a call instead of ringing normally it does it in speaker (hands free) mode what caught my attention since I didn't change any settings.
I'm inclined to think that it might be due to some corruption in the software since I didn't find any optios to revert this so I was thinking on doing a hard reset but...
The other issue I have is that I tried to connect it to two different computers (that it used to connect without problems) and it does not do it.
It does charge on the USB but neither PC's recognize that the phone is connected.
I tried 2 different cables on the 2 PC's without luck.
So again I'm now more convinced that it is a software problem.
Any idea how should I proceed so I don't loose any data????
Thanks,
Look up "stuck in car kit mode" see if it's the same symptoms.
I look into it thanks...
I looked it up,but is not exactly the same.
It's stuck on loud speaker yes but not in landscape mode, if I rotate the phone the screen works ok.
It also goes to sleep so they are not exactly the same
It just does not get recognized by the pc when I plug it on the USB.
I just get the charging light and the little plug simbol on top as you get when you plug to external power but the computers don't make the sound (or any sign of recognition) that normally comes when you plug any USB device to it.
Unless this is just the start of it...
Well, after reading all 12 (or so) pages on that thread and cleaning the heck of the micro usb, wigling the cable in every direction this morning I managed to connect the phone to the PC and get rid of the loud speaker, so even if the symptoms are not exactly the same looks like it heading in that direction.
Bummer...
I guess it's time to start looking for a new phone.
Hi!
Yesterday I was trying to connect my GS4 with a nightly build of the PAC ROM from back in November to my computer and I did something stupid, I unchecked both the MTP and the PTP boxes. Now whenever I connect my phone to my computer (Windows 7) it acts like it's only charging. I looked for some option in settings to turn MTP back on but I can't find anything. I also tried rebooting the phone, turning it completely off and then on again, taking the battery out, connecting it to a different computer and using a different USB cable. Can anyone help me? Please be nice because I am already aware that I did something very dumb but I did it because I was trying to get something else to work.
Thanks in advance.

No options if you go to Settings->Storage->Hit the menu button->USB Computer Connection ?
Thanks!
Thanks Langes! You're awesome! It works now. I never thought to try the menu button. Now I feel even dumber. Thanks again!

No worries, been there myself
The only way to get a USB modem to work on Joying PX-5 seems to be to unplug and re-plug it into USB port after power-on. The modem simply doesn't connect otherwise. But it connects 100% of the time when unplugged and re-plugged. And after the car is restarted, we do the same dance again.
So... is there a way to automate this with something like Taker? I.e. turn the USB off and turn it back on? Joying is not rooted and I'd like to keep it that way if possible?
Perhaps there's another solution? I've seen USB cable with a physical on/off switch. I could use that, but it's not the most convenient way as Id like to keep the USB modem hidden out of the way.
Any hep, ideas?
Dig into developer settings. There may be some options

Can't find anything in developer settings. Tasker doesn't seem to allow anything similar. I'm almost thinking of creating some sort of a hardware timing latch and do a reset on USB line about 30 seconds passed boot-up.
Has anybody seen any solution for this at all? I mean, there's got to be a way to simulate unplugging and re-plugging the USB device, no? Please help!

Nope. There ae some USB short cables with a switch out there, but the car this was intended for is currently parked in... Bucha, Ukraine, so I wouldn't see it any time soon...
