My vibrant acts like its not connected to any computer I plug it into
I've tried two different cords and two different computers. One of them being a mac and the other being a PC
I've tried every usb port on both. It's strange.
I'm on Bionix 1.6. Should I restore back to stock and then reflash and see what happens?
Has anyone had this happen to them?
I seen somewhere that you need samsung drivers but I don't have a link for you. Personally I did the tedious task of sticking my sd in an usb adapter but I switched to wireless transfer after a week of that. Android phone drivers in general didn't load for me on Win7 64bit.

You got the Drivers installed right? soft reset your phone ? If that does not work, back up hard reset and check again. If still not working I say return it..

Yeah I have the drivers
Did the soft and hard reset
Can't return it since I got it off of a guy on somethingawful
It's whatever though i got a good deal on it and it still works great. I'll figure it out some day
I'm running windows 7 Ultimate and it works just fine, but whenever I use a different computer or a Mac I get the same problem. I tried almost everthing.
Are you running JI5/JI6 ? I have the same problem with these builds. I remember someone else had the same problem as well, could be a bug. What happens when you go into USB settings of phone and select/deselect mass storage option?
This is going to sound really really really weird but I fixed it somehow
I put the disable lagfix into the voodoo folder and rebooted my phone and plugged it into my brothers ps3 and then suddendly I could mount my phone to my computer again.
Even stranger I deleted the disable lagfix file and rebooted my phone and let it do its thing and now my USB is completely working again.
Anyone have any ideas about this? I've done the disable thing before when I was trying to fix it but never plugged it into the ps3
I'm glad I was messing with my phone when the battery was at 20 percent!

After shifting the location of my PC and plugging everything back in ActiveSync has stopped detecting my i-mate.
Things I have tried so far:
a) been through the steps of the troubleshooter
b) removed ActiveSync 3.7 and installed 3.7.1
c) did virgin install of AS 3.7.1 on different PC
All with no luck. AS resolutely refuses to detect my device. What can have gone wrong? Heeeeelp!
Do a soft reset in the device and reboot the pc, then try the hot synch again. It should work.
Should it not, here is the place to find out other options:

Thanks, but tried all to no avail - getting quite depressed now! I had a quick look at your link but no immediate solution seemingly.
Happy New Year!
Well, I've just tried installing ActiveSync 3.7.1 on a third PC - still no luck. I'm thinking that maybe the problem lies with the device? Maybe I've killed a registry entry whilst being over zealous with something. Does anyone know what the registry entries are in case one has gone walkabout.
Otherwise looking at hard reset and if that doesn't cure problem I've got a very expensive phone!
Thanks
i've had several times that the xda was charching in the craddle,
& i got a removable usb disc in windows, that activesync didn't connect. What worked for me was play a little with the usb-connector in the PC or change it from usbport, so in my case it was some kind of bad contact,
You've probably checked this but I'm only trying to help:
From activesync go to tools/options/options and under 'When cradled' check USB is selected for sync connection.
Sync Problems
I had the same problems with ROM 1.03. I backed up, did a COLD BOOT then tried activesync, it worked. Then I did a restore and it still worked. I did notice one thing, I was playing with the notifications. I deleted some that I thought were redundant. Things wern't running well after I did that including the sync. After I restored, I didn't mess with the notifications except with the tool from ScaryBear.
Hope this helps,
Brandon
Brandon: Maybe you've given me the answer, thanks. It is entirely possible that I got overzealous with an excellent little program called Remover. I, too, have the ScaryBear notifications program but it seemed to leave a lot of notifications behind, so........
I'm just girding myself for a hard reset and then I will, as you say, leave the queue alone.
Plum: Thanks but yes, I had tried that. Also, selecting a baud rate and then selecting USB again to 'refresh' it.
Notification bar shows usb mount and debuging blinking can't even click on that,
when charge is plug in is gone, also when unplug battery is hot like is charging with same notification usb plug in. Sometimes I use aftermarket wall chargers that when plug in comes up usb plug in mount, charge etc I think is left over from that. Looking for remedy, as going to stock and reroot will be my last resort but what should I try first.

if i'm understanding correctly, because this happened to me, the "connected to USB" and/or debug notification keeps flashing at the top when the phone is unplugged?
turning off the phone, removing the microSD card and rebooting made it go away. Reinsert the microSD after you confirm the craziness has stopped.
That is exactly what was going on and yes removing and inserting microSD card
cure the problem, also my spare batt works now, before would not boot.
You sir are my savior, I was just about to wipe everything off and start from scratch, Thank You Very Much.

Oops start doing again when moved a couple of pics from one directory to another. Now even if I do the trick wont help and even with another card doing it if I take the card out works fine.

doh, that sucks.. When it happened to me, I was on the first froyo leak, DI18 I think, and the previously mentioned reboot trick worked for me at least up until I switched to DK28.. I haven't seen the problem since..
Sorry, I don't have any other advice to offer
I'm on DK17 and changed a couple of roms images that I saved of the similar no change I am thinking going DK28 before turn the phone to sprint for new one.

DK17 is an old leak. DK28 was released a couple weeks later and all development moved there. Not much was done with DK17 since it was crammed between DK05 and DK28.
And don't return a phone to Sprint with DK28 on it. I hope I'm reading your post wrong. If you bring it in to sprint it better have DI18 or older on it.
I've tried all that before this happened and went back to DK17 for the reason
I found my phone to be the most stable with no issues.
I will go back to stock before I turn my phone to sprint but my question is what
do I do with the microSD card if they try to repair the phone and open to see what is in there (card) that my avoid warranty. I guess will put another blank card since it does the same with any card.

Ever since I installed froyo, I have noticed that when I plug my phone in via a usb cable, it appears instantly in the windows 7 device list, but takes at least 2 minutes to appear as a actual drive, sometimes never appearing at all.
The phone also instantly recognises that it is connected and the same thing happens on my work computer as well.
Has/is anyone having similar issues to this?
EDIT: Have tried with usb debugging turned on and off, also uninstalled htc sync in case that was interfering but didn't help.
Do you have a lots of apps on the SD? If so, mounting it on the PC requiers to unmount all these apps from the system.

Quite a few, that might be it then. Didn't realise the phone had to do that. Thanks
That'll be the reason. It's a pain, if you use an a2ext solution it will be faster
Ok so i have CM7 RC1, and everytime i plug in the usb and try to connect it, like to put music on it and transfer files. It restarts my phone and boots up again. it never ever connects.
Does anybody have a similar problem? or does anybody know a possible solution?
thanks
Is it only when you tell it to connect to pc, or whenever you plug it in to usb?

Only when i connect it to PC, it shows the USB connected screen and has the button that says "Turn on USB Storage" when i click that button it starts loading then reboots
I would start by doing a full wipe and reflash. I haven't seen anyone else mention this issue before.
Actually, a miracle happened today. It just started working now. lol. it didnt work earlier but Thanks anyway. but i have another question. everytime i download a file on the normal android browser it comes up unsuccessful constantly. I download stuff multiple times just to make it go through.
Whats up with that?
It says its downloading, gets to 100% and then says Download unsuccessful.
Is your sd card almost full?
Wow im dumb lol, thanks i didnt even think about that. thanks man appreciate the help.
anytime. Thats what we're here for.
So after I rooted my phone, everything is ok with the expect bugs that have already been reported by others. One new bug is that my phone is not being recognized by my computer, and is not showing the the drop down notification bar on my phone to tap for more options. Anybody else having this problem or know a fix? Thanks

You need to enable developer options by tapping the build number under about device in settings about 10 times. Then under developer options scroll down to USB configuration and pick whatever you want the phone to do when plugged in.
I don't care what they say about you, you're freaking awesome! lol it worked thanks!
Problems after root SM-G935P
I was not sure where to post this.
I rooted my S7 edge. Everything went fine and I was able to use the phone for about a week. Then I got an error about Google play. I reset the phone and it got locked on the loading screen. I tried to connect to my computer but it would not recognize the phone. I tried another computer and a few different cables and I still could not get the phone to show up. I figured the only option was the factory reset which I did and the phone booted up fine. I am still not able to connect with the S7 edge. I have a couple other Samsung phones and I can connect with those. I'll list everything I've tried below.
different computer
at least 10 different cables ( I even purchased new ones)
re downloaded the drivers x2
usb debugging is unlocked
it is set to mtp. I also tried the other options with no luck.
As a side note, I thought you do not lose root on a factory reset but I tried a root checker and it said I was not rooted. just trying to add all I know to help figure it out.
I'd really like to just get root back. Thanks for any help or advice.
