Hi folks, have a problem with my fascinate, I can connect it with QPST fine, however when I use the top pulldown menu, and touch
"USB Connected - Select to copy files to and from your computer"
it gives me the option to 'Mount' which I choose, however then it doesn't appear as a USB drive on my computer (Windows 7). So, I can't get it to connect as USB drive accessible through Windows.
I have an HTC incredible also, and when I do the same options, it will immediately pop up as 2 new drives in Windows (one for SD and one for internal memory). SO, it works for my Inc, but not for my Fascinate. A few possible reasons I am guessing may be:
1) Drive letter conflict with inc/fascinate
2) Some type of driver conflict
anyways, like I said I can connect to my fascinate with QPST/QXDM/CDMA Tools, so I know the USB cable works fine. I've tried it on several computers now, my 2 office ones and my laptop, and all similar results (no USB drive showing when mounted). FWIW I also at some point messed with drivers on these other computers too. However, I did also try uninstalling Samsing drivers, and reinstalling (did not solve the problem).
Ok, if you need more info I will be happy to provide, and any help is much appreciated, thx

Can you go to your device manager and tell us what it shows up As there when you plug it in?

Hey rm2011. Sure thing, thanks. It is show up under 'Unspecified' and ...
I just figured out my problem. I had the device setup under "Dial Up Networking" for QPST use. That is an either or option with mount for USB storage (not both)
so, thanks working now
i know its been awhile and i have the same thing. but mine say unknown device. its ok when i hu my other phone same model(fascinat)
I have searched the Q&A and General forums and found no one with my question.
Some time ago I noticed that my NC is no longer recognized when I plug it in to my PC via the stock USB cable. I am now on n147 and the problem persists.
By "not recognized" I mean that the PC doesn't see it in any capacity. No ADB Composite Interface, no generic Composite USB interface... Nothing. I can plug it in, pull it out, all with no recognition whatsoever.
I have ADB and the USB drivers installed. As I said, this used to work flawlessly.
Can anyone offer any solutions or suggestions for how I can figure out where the problem is?
When you plugged the NC in, did you see any "removable drive" on PC?
No.
No removable drives, with or without drive letters and no new devices listed in the Device Manager.
I don't know if the nb148 causing this problem or not but have you installed Nook Color Tweak lately?
nb148? Not sure what that is.
I installed NC Tweaks as soon as it came out and have had it installed since then.
I suppose I could try uninstalling it and seeing if that fixes things, but I don't think it will since the changes are already in the kernel and Tweaks is there simply to make modifications of variables.
night-build 148 that is
Anyway, if you have Nook Tweak installed, then make sure to CHECK OFF the Host USB option.

Since Nightly 147 is the latest at this point in time... 148 cannot be causing the problem.
Thanks Dizzy.
I don't have USB Host on.
How's about now?
Given that this has been a problem since the sub-n130 releases, I doubt n148 will make a difference.
n148 makes no difference and I've now lost deep sleep.
I guess there's nothing to be done. It's too bad too, since I like using the internal storage.
I have no problem at all running with Win7 x64 OS
I didn't use to either... Until I did.
@mr_fosi: Did you go in and disable usb debugging mode?
If you have done that and still have the problem... you may need to go through device manager, on view menu check show hidden device, delete all B&N devices in any group they show in (most likely only in Disk drives) and all devices in Universal Serial Bus controllers that have device ID's beginning with VID_2080.
Hi again Dizzy.
Yes, I tried disabling USB Debugging but it didn't do anything.
I also tried your other suggestion and I see no applicable devices once I show hidden devices. No USB devices with that VID and no disk drives.
I found that the stock Nook Color cable will NOT work.
BUT I can use just about any other cable and it connects fine.
I run Win 7 64 bit.
Try a different cable and see if that helps.
Thanks for the suggestion, framitz.
I'll give it a go and see what happens.

If you don't get it going... pm me... I'll write a program to scour the registry looking for known NC devices and remove them... should make reinstalling drivers easier.
You may want to hook the NC up and look for any "unknown" devices in device manager and add info to the winusb.inf file for installing drivers... I've added a couple that some older rom's reported the device as.
Im aware that one or two other threads have been created with this same general question but one thing they didnt ask is what to do if you cant fix it?
As the thread topic states my Nexus 7 will not connect to my PC via USB (It is not seen at all, its not a driver issue I've tried). It will not charge when turned on but it was charging when turned off last night. When I checked this morning it said I had a full battery but after turning the tablet on it said I only had 60% battery. All the started happening after I charged it with a battery pack at work the other day because I forgot my charger at home (some people have had similar problems after using car chargers). It will let me connect a flash drive to it via USB-OTG. I have tried 3 different cables on 2 different PCs (One running Windows 7 and the other running Windows 8). I really dont know where to go for help anymore as Ive spent the past 2-3 days googling like a mad man trying to find an answer and noone seems to have one.
I would love for someone to really help me out and get some steps that could fix this, however, if its not fixable how do I RMA it? I cant lock the bootloader and I cant flash a factory image.
You say it is not a driver issue, but your symptoms indicate it is. I would start over with the removal and re-installation of the proper drivers.

I've uninstalled them. Every time I go to manually install them the guides always say to find where the nexus is and my nexus never shows up. If it was drivers it would still charge when its on. So how can drivers cause the tablet not to charge from the ac adapter?
Try Wugfresh's program. I had issues w/o it.

Thats the toolkit I have installed. Its also the "guide" I am following when it comes to drivers. I tried to see if I could make the nexus connect to the pc while in fastboot and nothing happened then either. Everything he says to do involves the PC actually seeing the nexus :/
Ive changed it from mtp to ptp, toggled debugging, went to different back ups, flashed a new rom, etc etc. I really feel like Ive tried just about everything. Someone mentioned in one thread about some specific code in the nexus being wrong and possibly changing it could fix it but I do not know how I would go about doing that.
I also originally used the Wugfresh toolkit and had problems getting the drivers installed properly on Win7-64. Ultimately, I think I installed pda.net on my computer and on the N7 and was able to connect after that. Haven't had a problem connecting since. Re-read some of the Wugfresh posts about driver problems. You should be able to get it sorted out.

I sent you a PM but I really dont think this is an issue with drivers. I have been able to connect the N7 to my PC perfectly before the other day. Never a problem at all. Now I have uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers as best as I could (currently I have the samsung drivers because they are the only ones that will install without having to verify that the phone is connected via ADB and I had them left over from my Fiance's GNex so they have been here all along when the N7 was actually connecting).
The N7 is not connecting to the PC at all. It does not show up in device manager. You cannot make an ADB connection to it. It has already been rooted and it is running the latest version of Paranoid Android. On top of that the AC adapters will not charge the N7 while it is turned on. Its like the N7 turns away any usb connection other than a USB-OTG cable while it is on.
Also I really do appreciate the help. This has just been really frustrating for me.
Hello,
Since yesterday, I have exactly same issue with my Nexus 7 3g.
Everything is working perfectly but computer doesn't see Nexus at all (nothig works Bootloader, ADB, MTP,PTP).
Charging is fine (looks like), USB HDDs, pendrives are working as before.
Reinstaling drivers, changing to PTP, switchin on/off USB debugging didn't help.
Checked : other Nexus connects to the computer without problems, so its not drivers issue.
I assume it happened after Nexus was connected to my car charger.
Does anybody have solution/fix for that ?
Unfortunately my Nexus comes from USA, can I RMA it in Europe ?
I feel badly for everyone having these issues. I feel very lucky I'm not having them. It sounds as if the microusb port may have been altered/damaged by certain kinds of connections, like the battery pack or car charger. I don't know why this would happen and my own car charger (Moto oem for my Bionic) has worked fine on the N7. I did pick up the usb cable attached to my pc one day and created a static shock to the connector. Since then, that bank of 4 usb ports will not show either my N7 or bionic, but my usb mouse, keyboard, and printer work with them. The other bank still works, as does the pci port expansion card and my front ports. If I do have a glitch with the pc connection, I restart both the computer and the N7 and then it works. Sorry I don't have a solution.
I also assumed a damaged/fried USB post on the Nexus 7. There are 2 data lines and 2 power lines in the charging socket I think. If the power lines are damaged, usb otg may still be working. Its also tying in with the use of a power pack.

Have you tried switching between MTP and PTP and seeing if that works? If I used the PTP setting for the USB it shows up, I can then move files onto the PICTURE folder and once there move to another folder while using the Nexus.

Wow or strange should be more of the reply. I have done this before but it never worked. Thanks for the help. For anyone else needing help here is what I did. First opened the Nexus Tool Kit, then Full Driver Installation Guide, launched USBDeview, then - In particular look for devices with Vendor ID - "18d1" or... "04e8" - Simply right click these devices, and select the option to: - "Uninstall Selected Devices", final step unplugged the device and plugged it back in and it worked. Also MTP enabled USB Debug unchecked. Thanks again...
-AkWingnut
Tried this and haven't had any luck so far. I'm going to try pdanet or samsung drivers again later today and post results.

Have exactly the same trouble. I'm with you guys. USB host works, no reaction in device manager. Did your nexus was unlocked? Rooted?

Bump!
I'm experiencing similar issues with my Nexus 5. This is the only thead I can find that has a similar problem. My Nexus 5 worked on SlimKat, I flashed stock L Preview, now my device won't charge when it is powered into the OS. Bootloader works fine and charges when turned off. I upgraded to 5.0 which came out today (Yay!) and the problem persists.
Have any of you lads or ladies had any updates?

In my case it was a hardware trouble. Fixed by motherboard replacing in official service centre.
Sorry if this question has been asked before, but it's Sunday night and I've spent 2 days trying to sort it out - Mr Nexus is about to take a trip through the window...
* My new Nexus 7 (purchased on 31/12/12) was immediately able to connect to my Dell Dimension desktop running XP SP3, but after I had to rebuild the latter after a hacking attack (complete format & XP reinstall), it couldn't see the Nexus anymore - it just reports that a connected device is malfunctioning.
* I know that the Nexus is OK because it is instantly recognized by a Win7 laptop.
* I know that the USB ports on my PC are OK because they work with other external drives.
* So far, I have installed Windows Media Player 11 as I have read that is supports (installs?) Media Transfer Protocol, which the Nexus apparently needs, but this doesn't work either. I have read the driver downloads section of the Dell site to see if I can update the USB drivers, but there doesn't seem to be anything there either.
* The annoying thing is that at some point I MUST have installed whetever it is on the PC that allowed it to talk to the Nexus, but I can't for the life of me think what is it.
Please can some kind soul out there help me? All suggestions gratefully received.
Dell XP needs to have Nexus 7 (usb) drivers installed for it to properly recognize the device and open/read the /SD card or internal storage - suggest that you start reading / looking at using something like the Nexus 7 Toolkit - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809195
- also, check under Settings / Developer's Option that USB Debugging is turned on / checked or enabled if you are planning to root, etc.
Thank you for taking the trouble to reply - I'll give it a go.
u need USB debugging turned off to transfer files. Wow. Sheesh if that's a word

The Nexus that wouldn't
Sorry, folks, nothing I seem to do allows me to transfer files from my stonehenge PC to my Nexus. I even installed the Nexus 7 toolkit (featured elsewhere on here) and attempted to install drivers from that, but I don't think that that's the correct route either, as I'm not really sure whether the toolkit is aimed at my simple requirements or if it's more of a hacking tool.
All XP continues to tells me is that a device connected to my computer is malfunctioning. The REALLY annoying thing us that it has worked in the past and just doesn't work now since the rebuild.
Does anyone out there have any more suggestions, please?
Thanks in advance.
I have a mac so can't test it out but would something like this work? I know it's an old driver. http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Or maybe just install the SDK from the same site?
Assumed that OP has tried using different USB ports on the Dell and used diferent micro-usb cable, including the original one provided by Nexus in trying to get the connection working again, and also clean the N7's micro-usb port for dust & dirt, it could be bad or corrupted drivers from other devices causing the read/access errors - find them & delete/freeze them, reboot & re-insert. Also, try rebooting the N7 with the connected cable while rebooting/restarting the Dell.
Otherwise, try and borrow someone else's PC clean running XP or Vista or Win 7 - it should recognize the device & begin loading new drivers for the N7. System was rebuild so it should be relatively clean and good as new.
Hello.
Three weeks ago my Nexus 4 is recognized by my three computers (work, home and friend) like a drive. Now it is not anymore recognized by friend 's computer: I hear the sound of connection but no change in file manager. However it works fine on two other computers (home and work). In addition the Nexus 4 of my friend is always recognized by these three computers.
I tried to install N4 drivers on Friend 's computer. No change, my Nexus 4 is not recognized by friend's computer. I tried the debug mode too. No change. And the nexus 4 of my friend works on the three comptuters. Very frustrating .
These two Nexus 4 is updated with 4.2.2, in stock rom, not rooted, 16Go, v11.
Does someone could help me to solve this problem without saving my data and then restoring to factory values?:highfive:
Thanks.
I forgot to write that i used only one usb wire on the same usb port. To be sure that the problem is not the wire or the usb plug.
Do you currently have USB Debugging turned on? Turn it off and see what happens...the reason I say is that my work PC can either see is as MTP with USB Debugging off or through adb with it on - not both.
My Windows 8 Pro laptop at home works fine for both at the same time...worth checking out
Maybe try to uninstall the driver using the device manager?

Thanks i will try your solutions tomorrow. But these solutions doesn't explain why one Nexus 4 works on the friend 's computer and the other Nexus 4 doesn t work: same wire and same usb plug.
I plugged the nexus on my computer. And I unistalled the driver of nexus in my device manager unplugged and plugged again the nexus. And then let windows recognize the nexus and install his own compatible driver. Thanks nhatters.
The problem was that for run application named carbon I had to install in computer first the adb driver and carbon for computer. And this driver does not recognize my nexus which have not carbon (for mobile install).
i had the same problem few minutes ago .. i just turned USB Debugging on and voila the PC detected my nexus 4.
Aha i had the same problem i just lowered the notification shade selected usb device n selected camera option and reverted back to the media transfer and that fixed it
I am having the same issue but nothing seems to work and I dont even hear the connection sound in windows. I've tried uninstalling and installing drivers with sdk, device manager, and the other thing in windows which is callew dew I think and nothing no success, also I have tried to disable usb sebugging and mtf media storage and nothing. Is the only thing left to is buy a new micro usb cable?

Same problem for me on Windows 7. I have tried everything - different cables, different ports, enable/disable USB debugging. Even uninstalled drivers etc. It is getting detected on Windblows and is showing up in the taskbar as an USB device with a green mark. But it is not showing up as a drive or the MTP device. Frustrating to no end!
im gonna try to research in microsoft website which drivers are not originally installed in my computer and delete all the wird ones maybe some other driver from another hardeare like another cell phone or something is interfering. Hope I dont delete something that will make my computer not work right.
Same here, I can no longer transfer any files on to my Nexus 4 anymore. I'm using a PC and it no longer reads it. Only fast boot and adb on recovery works.

It's not the same because I've tried adb and nothing. Your problem can be fixed by modifying google drivers. In the other hand I tried a friends nokia phone with same usb cable and started installing drivers right away.. Mine does nothing, not even a connection sound just charging. so It's not the cable. I'm starting to think the micro usb port got damaged or something really wrong with the rom but still I've tried to see if reseting the phone works and nothing.
Seems like its an issue with 4.2.2. Since last week my N4 was acting very strange. when I connect to my pc; It would connect and disconnect every second. After checking in Device Manager; my Nexus 4 was listed under SAMSUNG Android Phone . I end up uninstalling it (plus check delete driver software). Then I rebooted my computer. It reinstalled the driver and now its working. Thought my wire was broke.
This worked for me, it shall work for everyone else
Open the start menu and type in device manager and click on it, it should npbringba window up. Now at the stop it should say android device or something similar, drop down that section and right click to delete "Google ADB Interface" which was for me should be for you also. After make sure you check the box in the confirmation to delete the driver. Reboot your PC plug in your device and enjoy!!!
