[Q] usb connection question - Vibrant General

i recently hooked up my vibrant to a macbook and just went through the files on it... then afterwards i hooked it up to my windows laptop and the drives were being detected... but it wouldnt let me do anything with em. i was wondering what i need to do.

Pull down the notification bar... Press usb connected, click mount... See if that works

Computer no longer recognizes my hero... ughh

Has anyone had problems syncing via HTC Sync? For some reason today, my computer no longer recognizes my hero and I am no longer able to transfer files back and forth using the USB cable. Ughhhhh anyone able to help? I tried uninstalling HTC Sync and reinstalling but that did not help.
happens to me on occasion but always works when i reboot the computer.
I had that problem once, it turned out to be an issue with the cable. Are you able to try the cable on another PC to try to trouble shoot it?

Usb problem pls help

Hey
I have an x10i and until yesterday i had no problems with it. I cannot connect my phone to the pc and it only charges after 7 seconds from connecting it to the usb. When i connect it to the pc it takes 7 seconds and then shows that it charges but i dont have anything in the notification bar about mounting the usb.
I tried connecting it to another computer but its the same and i cannot flash it using pc companion nor seus cuz it cant be identified even in flash mod.
Ps. The pc does not show any notification that it is connected. Pls help and if this thrad is already there please tell me because i searched and couldn't find it.
Cheers

Try running usbdeview and remove anything related to semc. Take your batter out for 10 seconds, put it back in, switch on the phone and reconnect.
Sory for being a noob but where is semc. Is it on the mobile? Or should i remove it from the pc?

On the computer, download and run the run program, it's pretty self explanatory.
I think your micro usb is broken. Mine does exactly the same thing. It is only connecting on the two prongs that charge and not the two for data transfer. There is no fix I am getting a replacement as thousands of others have done as this is a common problem. See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=777721
But id was working before the pc restarted

Please, any idea. She wants 2.2 on her bell vibrant.
Thanks!

Are you using the stock touchwiz launcher? If you are using something like launcherpro switch to tw and connect again in Kies mode.

are you using the USB ports on the case?
for some reason this phone doesn't play nice with them try using a port directly attached to the motherboard.
Attaching the phone directly to the usb port on the motherboard is the only way i got mine and my wife's phone to connect on either of our computers
Yes she is using ADW! Man I didn't even think of that! Ill try it when I get off work and let you know. thanks for the suggestion!
Also I am using the MoBo ports

Works fine on mine. Try one of the usb ports on the keyboard. Also when you plug the phone in USB does the android USB storage screen come up?
You need to press the enable USB button on that screen before Mac will recognize it.

Don't have an iMac but I do have two MacBooks (or I did before I sold my old MacBook two days ago) and both of them picked up my Nexus S fine. Oddly, though the new MacBook never could find the phone for ADB.
I don't have A usb port on the keypad...but when I connect it to the monitor I get the little android in my phone...I enable USB storage and he turns orange..!!!

And nothing happens on the computer? It should pop up a drive called NO NAME
Note that since Snow Leopard, the default setting in Finder is to not show disks on the desktop. You have to go in the Finder and look at the list of connected disks on the top left-hand column, you'll surely see it there.

are you sure? I'm running snow leopard and have no memory of changing that on either laptop. They both came stock with snow leopard.

I have a macbook with snow leopard. When I mount a drive it does not show on my desktop. I have to open finder to see it under devices. I don't know if it an option setting or not. In comparison my old Mac (before OSX) would show all drives mounted on the top under the Mac Hd Drive. Make sure you are setting your phone to connect also.
I have never had any problems on either PC or Mac.

Of course it's an option, and has been an option for as long as I have used OS X (since Tiger at the very least). Apple just changed the default in Snow Leopard.
kenvan19: if you don't see that as the default on both your Macs, could it be because you have migrated your users from previous Macs? The settings you had before would have been imported, and you would have never seen the new default...

Did you try another cable at all?
I'm really scared now, I'm in the same situation. I just bought a phone off eBay last week and I was told on the forum to try a new cable which I ordered and has yet to arrive.
The seller said it was "New-mint condition" mentioned nothing about a corrupt usb drive.
What can I do?? Is there anyway I can fix it myself? I really want to be able to transfer music to it.

Right without predictive text on,my wifes galaxy still won't connect onto any computer,not even for the sd,which is odd.

Messed around with drivers etc
Uninstalled and reinstalled.
A glimmer of hope the other day when I installed an older version of kies very odd.
Any ideas?
Apologies for previous message predictive text was on...which is cack

try changing usb port or try on another laptop / pc is the phone charging when connected via usb cabel ?
What computer software are you running? I've tried three computers, the one with XP SP3 refuses to play at all, but both the Vista and Windows7 machines communicate OK with my I9000.
Hope that this helps.
I think, you mean that you have installed kies, and get no usb connection.
Look in phone at settings - application - development and uncheck usb debugging if it is checked.
Try to connect again to computer.
If it is still not working, which kies version, firmware version, kernel do you have.
