i turn on the usb host and connect the usb and the computer makes a sound like it finds a device but it only finds a usb mass storage device and not an internet connection..
any ideas?
So what is it that you`re exactly trying to do? Connet your device to the PC or use it as an internet modem?
For the first option:
- Turn off USB debugging;
- Pick "Storage Device" from the list that pops up when conneting your USB cable to your phone, then tap Done;
I can`t help you for the internet part, if that is what you need, as I have never used it before.
Hope I helped! ^^

hi, all
Right now, Wing will try to do the usb connection and then try to activesync with the computer with the usb cable hooked up. Sometime the cable is put in just for charging the device and the computer might be a linux station... Anyways, it is annoying! Is there a way to turn on and off the usb connection like what we can do to the Wi-fi and bluetooth whenever we want to? A mod to the registry also works. A better solution is more desired.
Thanks for such a wonderful forum.
Can't you go into Activesync, then connections, and uncheck usb?
yes, I did. but the usb connection is initiated on the Wing...if the workstation is Linux, then there is no ActiveSync, Wing still tries to connect usb. That is what I want to turn off. Any ideas?

I`ve TYTN and one day it stopped sychro via cable...
I plug cable - its starting charging but ASych stay absolutly quite (any notification any problem connecting) . Like I didnt plug cable
Ive made a Hrd reset , change cable but situation tha same .
any solution, please.
Did you reboot your pc? Did you try another USB device (USB port broken)? Did you reinstall activesync?
That's what i would try....
Try reinstall the active sync software. maybe the usb driver was corrupted
Because it can charge,so maybe the cable is OK( and the voltage is enough, some cable with too much voltage lose will not give enough current when pluged so that can not charge ) , problem should be of the software.
Besure if you have multi user environment. Only one user can use Activesync on Windows XP platform.
Do reinstall Activesync and do check the usb cable with any other computer nearby you if you are not living in desert.
I actually am having a similar problem connecting my AT&T 8525 to my computer. It charges, but won't sync. I had to start using Bluetooth in order to connect.
on the tytn go to settings -> connections -> usb to pc and untick the box
It worked at first, when i connected via USB it gave me the option to connect in either MSC or MTP, default is set to MTP i think. Anyway, now when i connect my phone it says in the status bar "Connected via USB in MTP mode" yet my PC won't recognise it at all. I've tried both modes and when i try MSC it says "Please connect phone" even though it already is. It can't be the USB port on the phone because it works fine when i'm charging it. I've also tried the same USB ports on my laptop with various other peripherals and they are fine.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled PC companion but to no avail.
Don't know what to do really, short of taking out the SD card and putting stuff on it manually.
Anyone else experienced this problem?
Well in USB Mass storage mode you have to make SD card connection on the dropdown notification on Arc.
Guys I'm trying to connect my phone to laptop but phone doens't get recognised in the laptop. The device makes sound and so does the laptop. No pop-ups in either of devices. The phone starts to charge but no option in the notification shade to change the mode of connection though. I've tried with turning on the usb debugging too, but no help.
Laptop pups up an error message later that the "LAST USB DEVICE YOU CONNECTED MALFUNCTIONED. WINDOWS DOES NOT RECOGNISE IT".
Is this falut of my charging port or of laptop? Or windows 10?
I've tried connecting to all other ports and with different cables. My all other android devices connect though. Please help.

I've had this issue with pen drives and my USB port had an issue(short circuited).
Check these :
Try running devices troubleshooter from control panel.
If the phone is charging properly by using the same cable , it's probably an issue with the laptop.
Is it on pie?

Sir I've tried debugging thing already and set the option to MTP. I've run troubleshooter too but windows couldn't identify and solve the problem. I'm guessing the problem is with windows 10. So I've decided to installed windows 7 in a different drive. Maybe that'll solve the problem.
Phone is running on Oreo.
Note:- I think micro usb has four pins. One among them might be a ground pin. One must be for charging and other must be to transfer data. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I had several times repairing phone with broken micro usb connector, it has 5 pin to be soldering on it. 2 for the power and 3 for data transfer. If the cable is fine for other devices then maybe the problem is not from the cable itself. I had an experience like that case before that if the notification from the pc says connected device is malfunctioned, that may caused by when u first time connected the phone to the pc, the device is disconnected when it still trying to instal the driver. When u connected the phone to pc check on the device manager, if u see "!" icon there, then theres the problem, ur phone driver not installed properly, u can try manual instal of device driver from there.
Last usb device you connected malfunctioned. Windows does not recognise it
"USB device not recognized. The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it” always appears in Windows 10 and Windows 8.
And the reasons for the issue contains:
The currently loaded USB driver has become corrupted or unstable
USB drivers need to be updated
USB drive may be entering selective suspend
USB has some damaged files or bad sectors
USB drive has not been formatted correctly
For different reasons, you need to take different measure, but you can directly format it via AOMEI Partition Assistant to solve the usb device not recognize issue.
The USB port itself was damaged. So I got replacement and now the new phone works fine with same laptop. Thanks you all for your replies.
I am on 087 update.
When I connect the phone to pc with non Asus usb cable it only charges the phone.. but does not show any option as File transfer etc...
However when I use the Asus bundled white cable.. the phone shows all option when connected to PC.
Earlier it was all good. With any cable it would show the usb connection option..
But after this last update only Asus cable works fine for charging and data transfer..
Please help
Hello please help
Make sure in developer settings, default usb configuration is set to "file transfer". Also try turning off usb debugging if it's on.
I too faced the same issue.....U can try to do below steps this might solve ur issue.
1) Change USB option to MIDI and after that gets setup then change to file transfer and check.
2)Remove Android device from device Manager and scan for hardware changes this will detect ur phone again and u will be able to see ur phone in PC

The option to choose charge or file transfer is now under Connected Devices in Settings menu. For some reason doesn't appear in notifications anymore.
