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.

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:
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/syncerrors.htm
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.

Activesync problems

Hi there,
when I plug my phone into my PC, it doesn't connect anymore. It charges but I don't get any connection options on my phone and my pc doesn't see it.

Also tried resetting the phone, no luck.

Go to the settings tab and go to Menu, All settings, Connections, USB to PC and make sure that "Ask me first about USB blah blah blah..." is ticked. Also, tick whatever you want as the default USB connection type (ActiveSync, Disk Drive etc..)
Hope this helps

Activesync and "ASk me.." were already ticked. I tried changing the options and then changing them back to see if I could force it to take effect but no luck

I expienced the same problem, caused by TomTom Home. This piece of ugly written software started at boottime, preventing to use activesync (even when I choose not to be a drive). I disabled it and now it works perfect, whem I need TTH for updates I start it manually.

I don't have Tom Tom installed unfortunately!

When you choose diskdrive, is the HD2 then visible in your browser as an external drive?

No, but now I'm getting "One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned" errors
I've tried in various ports on my pc

Try reinstall either activesync or mobile device center. Try also to connect the phone to another PC or laptop and check if the phone is responding ok (eliminate the good parts)

I think I've reached the problem. Dunno why it took so long to check this - it's so obvious. My new puppy is a bit of a chewer, and there's now some exposed cable on the wire. Enough intact to charge, I guess, but no data.
Typical type b-micro, yes? Can easily get a replacement.

USB connection issue

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?

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.

[Q] No usb option prompt via Android.

So basically. before I would plug my phone into usb and it would give me a couple of options. But now it plugs in, computer says "di dong" and the phone shows as charging.
But the phone doesn't ask for option, nor can I find a way to manually prompt it to.
help! (needed desperately for internet tethering)

had the same issue a couple of times
what i did was just unplug it again, wait a minute and plug it back in. The second time i would get the notification.

Maybe you havt to try another USB port on your PC.

Had the same problem.
Switched it off and on again. -> problem fixed

When plugging in your phone into usb, just go to settings-->Applications-->Development and check the USB debugging(uncheck and check it back it is already markeck).

If you can't mount SD Card and your pc doesn't recognise it then Your USB is bricked. There is a tutorial on the forums that will help you with that

Counterintuitively, the setting you're looking for is under Wireless and Network. Go to USB Connection and set it back to "Ask on connection."

this may be the cable error .change other one try again.

Just type in phone *#7248# and tick pda on both.

edit
i mean *#7284# then tick on usb on both.
