Hi,
ich have strange problem:
My Touch HD goes in Standby when used as a USB Disk. After one minute or two, the display deaktivates and the device goes instandby. The connection the my pc is lost even during a filetransfer - it drives my crazy.
The only solution for the moment is to touch the display to prevent the device from sleeping.
Has anyone an idea how to stop this silly behaviour?
Thank you
Thorsten
P.S.: When connected the the pc in active sync mode, everything is ok an the device never sleeps...
Are you using any device lock software such as S2u2. If so check the external power settings. They should be set to off.
No devicelock software...

Have you tried changing the power settings? "Set to go off after X mins inactivity" might have something to do with it!

Yeah that will probably help, had this same problem, drove me insane as well. Just set it to charge on usb connection and set the 'On External Power'-setting 'Turn off device if not used for' to something like 30 mins. If that doesn't help than you could try AEBPlus, you can assign a button to set the device to not turn the screen off at all.
Yes,
i have tried these settings - no change.
Also, there is activity - the usb data transfer, this normally should kepp the HA alive.
A few weeks ago everything was ok, it doesn´t sleep when connected to a pc...

Do You Have Scapps Advanced Config?
Under Power management - USB Charging - Yes keeps device alive, No puts it to sleep.
Thank you,
but Schaps config is installed and already USB charging is set to "yes".
It drives me crazy :-(

Might be a real pain, but maybe you could do a hard reset, as all the other solutions don't seem to work.
The same problem here. I tried everything to prevent my HD from turning off. It looks to me like it doesn't recognize the connection per USB as it should. Because if I change the settings for Battery-Mode e.g. standby after 30 minutes, it works for ... ca.... 30 minutes
Anyone an idea why the hd doesn't recognize the usb connection? A Hard-Reset doesn't seem to change anything regarding this problem.
HEy,
I have exactly the same problem. Have u found out anything yet or does anyone else know what this is about? It happens even if I turn off all the options for auto darken or turn off display in energy options.
Its gonna drive me crazy too, argh
Edit:
Take a look at the last answer of this thread, sorry but it its german. But it fixed the problem in my case!

Hi BanTu,
thanks for this link - it really solved my problem.
Settings - System - power management - disable shut down when connected (even if there are 30 min, in my case).
Thank you very much
I have screen unlock pattern. I put it wrong several times, Now I got an option to unlock the phone by signing in with gmail credentials. I did several times but it is not accepting it. I'm sure that i put the correct credentials.

Hmmm... I think I just found a way to really screw up your phone... let's see what you think of my theory:
1. Put your phone into Airplane mode. This will completly turn off all the radios in the phone.
2. Go into settings and set an unlock pattern.
3. Put your phone into standby mode and turn it back on.
4. If you use up all of your tries at the unlocḱ screen you will have to enter your login details to unlock it. BUT THE PHONE IS STILL IN AIRPLANE MODE. Hence, the phone will not be able to connect to Googles servers for verification. And the worst thing is that not even a shut down of the phone will remove the airplane mode. Not even a removal of the battery.
THe only way to get out of this is to do a hardware reset of the phone.
What do you this of this?

I guess this is the only solution, I did a hardreset.
but this is a very very dangerous bug in the operating system.

at any time you can click and hold the reject call/power off button and it will bring you a list of options one of them is turning off airplane mode
Go on your computer and reset your Gmail password. then try again. It should do the trick.

How so? If you have synched everything with google then everything comes straight back..
Damn annoying, but hardly dangerous!
Hey,
I am having problems disabling my Wi-Fi. To be honest this isn't really a problem because my Wi-Fi is faster than mobile data transfers. Having said that though, obviously i would like the option to turn it off.
I havn't changed anything today on my phone so no software changes etc. Just on 'Comm Manager' on the Wi-Fi switch the whole line is light grayed out (and therefore i cant do anything)
Tried the standard turn off/turn on, soft reset, holding power button and terminate data connection, yet it is still grayed out and still on...
Any Ideas?
Sorry if there is already a similar post. I had a quick look and search but couldn't find anything to help. Please point in the right direction if there is.

Go to Settings, Menu, All Settings, Connection, Wi-fi. There's a checkbox there for turning on and off. You may find that doing this re-enables the one on the comm manager, otherwise, you're stuck with doing it that way (for some strange reason).
I'd also recommend the Wifi shortcut on the cab thread in the HD2 themes and apps forum. I have that in my quicklinks so I can quickly toggle the wifi on and off whenever I get home or to work or a friend's house etc..
Cheers bud.
Thats turned it off, but yeh as you suspected it doesn't enable me to do it in comm manager. Do you think you could give me a link to that quick link?

Yes mate - it's in my signature - the cabs link. You want the Touch X reset and wifi cab. It creates shortcuts in your start menu, and you can then add them as quicklinks if you want.
This may well be a stupid question, but is the device connected to PC with a USB cable just now?
hicks:
Nope, not currently... It was earlier though... If that is meant to make it so you cant toggle it, maybe it might be stuck like that from earlier... I will try plugging it back in later and see if this sorts it.
Cheers
johncmolyneux:
Excellent cheers! haha didn't see it there

They weren't there earlier. I decided that you'd be the last person I'd search for those threads myself for
legend.
Oh and yeh seems it was a minor fault... plugged it back into comp and disconnected again, seems to be sorted in comm manager now.
Okay, any ideas on why when i plug my Evo into any computer USB it charges, but it doesn't give me the menu to connect to it, it use to.
USB Debugging mode enabled, no there are no alerts in the notification menu. I have even tried changing the default preference on what to do.
Handheld is 100% charged. I have tried powering off and on, pulling the battery, went into fastboot and can get there....but i can't connect from pc...so SDK and access evo-recovery for nandroid options are a no go.
I am realitively new to this, and am hoping the experts and the community will be able to pull through for me.
Thanks
rooted and running 3.1.2 RvU with radio fix patch applied.
oh, and just to make it further clear, the handheld is working great aside from that...
(i also tried different cables)
Anybody??
Anybody else ever see this before?
Identical problem. It started after the phone crashed while on a call. Don't know how to fix it, but I'll let you know if I find out.
So, the problem appears to have fixed itself (since I can now select my connection type again). I read on another thread that removing the battery for about a minute could be a potential fix. For me, trying again after more than 24 hours of up time seemed to be enough.
Hope this helps you out...
The title says basically all. After full unlocking my Ativ-S, and in that process naturally installing the sdk, I have random problems on connecting to my laptop. I have to boot the phone to get connected. Before the root I never had any problems.
Oh and when I get connected, the green disconnect device safely icon appears and dissapears after connection, so I cant disconnect that way anymore... Could this actually be the cause, as the device has been dicsonnected wrong?
Help is appreciated as this is annoying!
It's been a little quirky for me too; the trick is that the phone has to be locked (pin-locked, not just lock screen) when you connect it to the PC, and then you need to unlock it; that *should* work. Did you apply the full-FS-access hack yet? That one seems to make it even harder.
By the way, you don't need to do the "safely disconnect" thing as long as there's no data being transferred. It's not USB Mass Storage, where you can actually corrupt the filesystem by unplugging the device in the middle of an operation, either; if you disconnect mid-transfer, all that will happen is the transfer will fail.
I didnt know that about disconnecting the phone safely. Though this disapearing on the disconnect icon also started happening at the same time, so it could be raleted somehow? Also I have applied full unlock to the phone, if thats what you meant?
Connecting with pin-code on does not seem to help. It is even possible that I need to reboot every other time to get connection, I havent investigated enough. I will look in to this over the weekend to get full picture whats going on here. I have a possibility test with other laptop, that does not have anything extra in it, just running W8.1 with regular drivers, so I will also test with that to get the SDK out of the picture.
I will report back.
Im glad this isnt such a big deal anymore, back in the WM days this would hve been a major pita.
It is not every other time. After I booted now I have connected/disconnected many times in a row. Same behaviour on the other system. Also on that laptop the disconnect device icon disapears. Whatever is causing this, its all on the phone side.

It happened to me,too. I have a computer using Intel Core i3 and another powered by an old intel CPU.
on the i3 one, the phone appears as soon as i plug it in but on the old one, it takes a long time for the phone to appear..
AND on my Surface RT, it didn't appear even after 5 hours...
I didnt know what I was talking about, I didnt have FS access.. I did all interop unlocks only, I didnt have FS turned on. After turning it on, the phone is recognized by the computer and the disconnect icon appears, but its not seen by file explorer.
Im still experiencing these problems.
Seems that every morning I have to boot the device to get connected. After that I can connect the device as many times as I want.
