I just spent the past 30 minutes working with a TSR with Verizon trying to get this RAZR HD to detect I two different computers, one with XP and the other windows 7.
Long story short, after many failed attempts to get pc to REFRESH the device manager; no permutation would detect the phone.
I even tried to install the Motorola MTP drivers on both PCs. I tried changing from MTP and PTP Mode under STORAGE Options.
I also tried booting the phone while plugged in.
Eventually the Tech support rep suggested I try the original cable that came with the phone, on a whim. Since this was an alternative replacement I didn't have one. He gave me a phone number for Motorola support.
I searched through both vehicles and tore the house apart to find my original DROID Cable from 2009. It worked.!
The Motorola software came alive with a Motorola cable from the original DROID.

Fyi, this is not called a factory cable, this is just the original usb cable that shipped with the phone. I understand there are some interesting properties about this cable, but factory cable is something totally different.

Cool,
Either way, that should probably be referred to as the OEM cable.
Factory cable is something to help charge the phone while doing a fastboot, details are here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077414
OEM cable it is.
I am surprised I could change the thread title in Tapatalk.

Trying to connect my mates epic 4g to the computer over standard usb cable to her acer one netbook. And nothing works. Not in or out of debug mode. Not in all the usb ports. Installed the samsung drivers nothing. all it does is charge it. I'm I missing something here, trying to help someone out. Any help would be great.
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
I have no real answers but I will say that the drivers from Samsung are total trash. I have three different computers I connect to and several different cables. For all three computers I need to frequently re-install the drivers, and each time I do, there's no better than a 50% chance it will work. So, I don't think you're missing anything other than the fact that this is a very common problem with no real solution other than to try another cable if you have one and to try to uninstall and re-install the drivers a couple of times.
Thanks for your help. Just trying a new cable too. Its there anything anyone has done as a foolproof method. After all my nokias, htc and sony ericsson phones, I don't expect this.

Sounds like you have a faulty stock usb cable. Get a replacement from a sprint repair store.
Cheaper and higher quality cables can be found on ebay, amazon, or monoprice. The last place I'd look for replacement cables is at the Sprint store.
I'd second rebooting the phone and your PC, always worked for me in a bind.

Actually, sprint corp repair stores "give out" free higher quality shorter but thicker blackberry type usb cable, if you ask nicely.

Edit: Screen Flashes in download mode when plugged into the usb port. Other then that another night trying and no luck. Anyone know if places "physical stores" offer any higher quality cables. RadioShack, something like that? As I can't buy things over internet in USA atm.
Would a powered USB hub help also? Anyone tried that?
Cheers

Where did you get yours from?
Yeah I am facing the same problem, worked two days ago and now nothing. going to try the install fo the drivers again and if not working, new cable.
I had the same problem and then I noticed that 2 of the USB pins in the phone's usb port had detached from the center plastic piece and when I connected the cable, they bent and got pushed back. I can still charge but I will never have usb connection again.
Sprint wouldn't take the phone back.
I just use Swiftp like another said.
So I got it to recognize, it shows the usb button, i press it and nothing happens. I downloaded Swiftp, freaking awesome!
I plug in the phone to charge while on the computer and it allows me to connect usb for mass storage. Go figure. I have not changed anything since last night btw.
To those that use swiftftp. Have you tried File Expert? its an all in one file manager
that supports http and ftp access to the SD card, and can host over wifi or 3g/4g
Resurrecting an old thread because my phone suddenly stopped responding to plugging in the USB cable. I have been using the same cable for a couple of years with no problem. I also tried another cable that has worked fine. The phone charges but I get no data connection of any type. No PDAnet and no USB storage device. I tried a couple of computers and rebooted both the phone and the computers. I have to assume it is a hardware issue of some sort.
I happened to edit my build.prop earlier today to stop the update message, but I assume this is unrelated.
Look in the port if there is some gunk in there. Just helped somebody earlier with the same problem. None of us ever close the little door. He used a toothbrush to clean his.

Do I need to floss too, or just brush?
I sprayed it with some CRC electronics cleaner a bit earlier and I am letting it dry. I will give a brushing too.
http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/
As the title says, a driver for the N1 was developed that allows USB host. This means that most USB devices can be hooked up and work with the N1 (when the driver is used). In the video, a keyboard, mouse, and flash drive are shown being used on an N1. It also shows how what is displayed on the N1 can be displayed on a monitor.... I don't have my laptop with me atm or the necessary hardware but could someone try this out? I don't know if its been posted here yet or long ago and sorry if its the wrong section but I'd like the devs to see this (If you haven't already)!!

I got the New Samsung USB connection Kit today, I have the Galaxy Tab 7 from T-Mobile, and YES I do know that it will not work with the Froyo installed, but I got a great deal on it for $15.00 free shipping, so when the talented XDA people find a way, of which I am confident someone will!. I took some pictures so everyone could see the packaging if you have not already.
Yes I did try it just for fun and of course nothing happened.

I was wondering if anyone else has been able to get more than one google account actually connected to their nexus q. We are trying one in our office and only my phone and tablet with my google account can connect it it. When we try with someone elses phones the nexus q app always says no devices found. Now if I do a factory reset it does show on the phone but once one person has connected and taken ownership none of the other phones can find the device or connect to it.
Any ideas? Searched everywhere and can't find anything on it.
Will try tomorrow and let you know.

I still can't get any guests to connect. Can you explain how you did this? What I have tried is I have a nexus s4g as the primary device and setup the q with it. I then took my hp touch pad with CM9 and was able to find the q with out any issues at all. Both have my same google account on it. Then we tried to connect some other android devices we have at the office but none of them could find the nexus q for some reason. They were all on the same network and all had at least ics running as their os. The devices tested were a Verizon galaxy nexus. An AT&T Samsung galaxy s2 and a tmobile galaxy s2 and finally an htc touch pro. None of those would ever find the device. We even tried adding my account to one of the other devices but that did not help. The only difference from my deviceses to the other test devices is mine are rooted but I doubt that would make a difference. Any ideas.
3 devices I tried are rooted one isn't. Two have the same Google account the other two are both different. Worked on all 4. Maybe try rebooting nexus q and re-set it up.. sometimes I have to repower my q as it doesn't start up by it self once in sleep mode... but that's because I don't use it too much.. I want to root it but want to see what Google will add to it first
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Okay so after numerous times trying to get this working I just broke down and bought a new router. Simply plugged my current jack at the office into that and instead of using our offices wireless, connected the q to the new router and boom, now every one can connect.
So for sure there are some networking issues with the Q that needs to be worked out but hope this can help. I have sent Google the routers we were using in the office (cisco) so they can add that to their list of routers with issues. Definitely confirmed that the routers were fully open so who knows what was causing the issue.
Thanks again,
Joe
