Hi, I bought the HTC HD mini today & am very pleased with it so far.
However, when I tried to connect it with my pc, something doesn't go as pleased.
It charges up, but I don't get any notification that it connects to my pc. I downloaded & installed Windows Mobile device center.
Now I am not sure if I'm connecting with the right cable (however it charges), I got a regular micro USB cable with the phone, however the port on the phone isn't for regular micro USB cable.
I'm not sure if that's any difference for you guys but if please tell me.
check your settings @ SETTINGS -> OTHERS -> USB to PC
and no, there is no difference on the cable
try to download again the device centre from microsoft; been there done that

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
Hi,
I have for two days tried getting my PC to recognize my SGS2. With no luck. I want to ROOT my phone.
I am using Windows 7 64-bit and gingerbread v2.3.5
- USB-debugging is turned OFF.
- I have tried to format the SD-card, even used different SD-cards.
- I have tried using another PC, with no luck.
- Tried diffrent versions of Kies; 1.5, 2.0, and 2.1
- Tried diffrent versions of the Samsung Mobile driver; 1.3 and 1.4.8
- Tried using a different USB-cable (the one I'm using, is original and i can see that my phone is charging.)
- I have formatted the phone several times.
- I have tried typing *#7284# and changes the USB setting from Modem -> PDA
- Windows Drivers are up-to-date.
- I cannot see anything in the Device manager.
What else is there to do? Is something wrong with my phone?
Is there any APK, besides from Gingerbreak, that i can use to root my phone?
Cheers
Could you tried it in another PC with Windows XP?
When you plug it in to the USB port... Does the phone start to charge up?
Sounds like a hardware issue, i too have Windows 7 X64 on my laptop and no such problems.
Give a shot with USB debugging to ON.

I had the same problem.
This may sound stupid, but it does work, try another USB port.
I just plugged my USB cable into either one of the front USB ports on my PC (WinXP) and sometimes the phone connected (Debugging ON: phone was an external hard drive. Debugging OFF: phone connected to KIES) and other times it didn't. I tried toggling the Debugging, switching off and on the phone, changing USB cables, uninstalling KIES and then reinstalling KIES.
I finally noticed that the phone worked fine on the front left USB port and not on the front right. I have the same thing happening on my work's PC (only it was the front right port that worked). The rear USB ports didn't work.
I doubt that it is a problem with the PC operating system (I found out later that someone with a Mac had the same problem). It therefore must be with the phone's software recognising a connection with a computer and only wanting to connect through that initial connection port.

ive noticed this problem too of it only working with certain usb ports and not others on the same pc. Quite annoying when i was trying to use my phone to transfer some files from another computer and the phone wasnt picked up by the computer.
I think it may have something to do with using MTP rather than standard USB mass storage.
Never plug your phone or any other usb powered device into your front USB ports. most of them do not supply full power. As a matter of practice you should always plug your phone into a direct motherboard USB port on the back of your computer.
I had the same problem with my front ports several times on several computers. My first galaxy S1 would not work on my front port either. all problems were solved by plugging into the direct motherboard usb ports.
Why would you turn USB debugging off?

Do you have Administrator rights?
try installing drivers manually on your pc
and then plug the phone ( usb debugging off )
Try 32bit system
Try using a 32bit XP or 7 PC someone I know had the same problem their Win 7 never gave the problem when flashing or connection with their SGS2 for over 6 months. And just the other day they had a problem so they used a XP 32 bit PC connect ok flashed ok once the phone was rebooted they connect to their Win 7 64bit and the PC saw their handset. So what gives

I have plugged in many different phones and other devices that take their power from the Front USB ports on my PC. Power has never been a problem. Recognising a device can sometimes be a problem (but the same problem happens with the rear USB ports).
I regularly charge my SGSII via the Front USB port of my PC (both work and home). Quite a few of my workmates now do the same because a spare microUSB cable is much cheaper than a good mains charger and also they can back up their phone and transfer files as well.
This worked for me
1. Unplug the USB cable
2. On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284# Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode. The good mode should be PDA. Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.
3. Plug the USB cable.
Sometimes if you're not using the cord that came with the phone it won't recognize the phone
I had the same problem with my phone but I found the cord the phone came with and it solved the problem

Try turning off your antivirus first for drivers to install. Worked for me.

I have just installed SiyahKernel 2.3 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits did not recognize my SGS2.
What I did is turn on and then turn off the "USB debug" option. It was off at the beginning but... I did that just in case and...
That solved my problem.
Similar issue
My phone charges when plugged in but won't mount. It worked fine until about a month ago.
I'd similar problem.
My SGS2 couldn't be connected to PC (Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit) by USB cable, but it could be connected via Wi-Fi. I found out, that my, however original, USB cable was faulty (could only supply a juice from USB port ). When I used my wife's cable (she's got SGS2 too), everything was fine: my phone connected to PC, Kies v.2.1.0.11112_41 checked firmware and wanted to update, but couldn't do it, because battery was almost flat - I'm charging it now.
Will see tomorrow, however I was able to connect SGS2 to PC via USB cable
Still having the recognition problem, however you can get around it a number if ways. Use Kies wifi to get files to your phone. Use mobile Odin to flash.
Highly recommend to pay the $2 for pro version, that way it will stay rooted.

Hi im new here
I got my hd2 when it first came out running winmo 6.5 now i just cant connect it to the computer tried more than 1 computer and more than one cable when i connect it only charges i receive nothing on the computer like i used to before i have tried everything in the setting usb to pc still same thing
please help me how can i connect it
and i also tried hard resetting it more than once same thing
under settings tab -----other , there will be a usb to pc button
I bet you have tried all setting changes so since you have done a hard reset and it still doesnt work, it has to be your micro USB cable. I had the exact same problem as yours and i feared that it was the micro USB port that was faulty. But then i tried a different micro USB cable and it works perfectly. Hence, it is likely to be your cable. Im not bad mouthing HTC because of the amazing work they have done, but their accesories seem to be a bit down on quality. My original micro USB cable is now frayed and almost severed, my Touch HD micro USB is also frayed and the original earpiece is now experiencing audio balance issues.
the thing is the cable that comes with the hd2 i lost it but when i was using it i could connect
but now im using nexus one cable and Nokia n900 cable to connect to the computer and it just charges like i said nothing appears
Have you tired different ports in your computer or tried reinstalling the drivers? To do that, uninstall the Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Center in your PC and reinstall it. Then try. If you still cannot connect your HD2 to the PC for USB mode, then im afraid the micro USB port in your HD2 is faulty. Try the above. Meanwhile, use the SD card method for flashing or transfer files using wi-fi or bluetooth.
Good Luck
If your HD2's USB port doesn't work you can connect to ActiveSync via bluetooth. I do that very often for a quick synchronization, and since HD2 has an Activesync profile it's easy to configure...
Anyway, check that "accept USB connections" option is selected in your pc ActiveSync configuration.
Most probably, he's facing the da** usb port breaking issue.

Can anyone suggest how to make windows 10 recognize the phone when connected via USB cable?
Latest official android version and USB debugging enabled.
Which cable are you using for connection to the computer? the cable that comes with the phone is for charging only, you'll need a data cable for connection.
Some users have reported issues when flashing or sideloading using a USB 2.0 cable. The cable included with PH-1 is USB 2.0 and is primarily intended for charging. If you're flashing or sideloading PH-1, we recommend using a high-quality, spec-compliant USB 3.0 (or higher) cable.
ive used both 2.0 and 3.0, but never the 3.1 USB C style. never had an issue, but some of the cables look premium and are cheap crap that connect and disconnect on a whim because the pins arent contacting unless the cable is perfectly straight
I'm using this cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N5KL10L/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is supposed to be a data cable and looks pretty decent.
Are any special drivers required ? ( I have installed the USB driver found on the Essential support page but no dice)
I have those same cables, they are a bit touchy when it comes to staying connected especially in a USB 2.0 port. Make sure you're using a 3.0 port and once it connects, don't move it much. Not a great solution I know but what can you do.
I tend to leave Device Manager open when I install new hardware. It often helps understand the sequence of things. Do you hear the Windows Device Connected Sound? If nothing is showing up there, it's the USB cable
Well.. I got my phone last Wednesday and I just got the issue when I got USB3.0 to USB C cable last Friday. (my main PCs do not have USB-C port)
The symptom is;
connecting USB cable and change connection mode to "file transfer" or MTP, it looked going to connect, but actually failed or disconnected when I tried browse the device or copy files.
After few research, I could resolve the issue.
Here are the what I did.
First, I have to download and install USB driver from Essential home page. (check "Essential Developers" page. I cannot add link here yet because I'm newbie here.)
Second, Now I got connection, but still the connection was unstable especially when I copied big files (about 200~300MB or more). The issue could be resolved after turning on "Disable USB audio routing" option in "Developer Options". (You should enable the "Developer Options" first)
Third, Now I have no problem on Windows PC connection, but I got a problem with Ubuntu 16.04. And I have found the it happens only when I connect it via USB hub. After connecting to PC directly, the issue has gone.
I have no problem on USB connection with my PCs now.
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.
