[Q] Media Sync (MTP) dosent work anymore - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All before when I plugged my lg g2 into my laptop my phone has always gave me the option to choose charge phone, media sync, etc. Starting today ever time I hook up my phone nothing happens, it just shows that its charging. I've tried changing the usb connection method in settings but it didn't work. Uninstalled and re installed the lg g2 drivers but pc still doesn't see phone. Has anyone ever had this problem?

Big Problems :((

I have the following problem with my HTC Touch HD. Since yesterday after i transfered 2 video files and a few pictures, when i connect it through USB, the computer doesn''t detect HTC anymore (nor syncing nor file transfer). Even the Bluetooth syncing does not work. I performed several soft and hard resets, and it seems it;s getting worse after every reset.
I bought the phone 2 weeks ago, after i sold my Apple iPhone 3G 8GB. As we speak, i kind of regret i did that...any advise for me ?
I forgot to mention: when i plug the uSB cable, the device goes recharging.
Have you tried booting your pc ?
Also try unchecking Settings/connections/Usb to Pc/ "enable faster data synchronization"

What cable do you use? I had similar problems with non original (asus) usb cable.
greetings everybody..
1) i tried what you said several times, no result.
2) i get same results with the original and the other cables..
3) i noticed one thing . . . if i connect the device to a computer that i never conected before the device, it launches active sync....and Active Sync just wont interact with my device.
Did you try reinstalling ActiveSync on your PC?
yes i tried....same result. Do you think a change of ROM would solve that ?
Now, even a syncronisation using bluetooth is almost impossible, since i cant pair the computer and the device. Damn, it's like a virus or something.
stupid thought:

Impossible since i cannot connect using USB. Sorry !
I too had problems with my PC not recognizing the HD. Found out that it was a problem with my firewall and anti-virus. I adjusted anti-virus settings to allow active sync to pass through and have had no problems after that.
HTC also recommends going to Start --> Settings --> Connection tab --> USB to PC and deselect the checkbox for "Enable faster data sync"
For device recharging when plugged in to USB : go to Start --> Settings --> System tab --> Power. here below the battery charge indicator, there is a checkbox. Read the message and check/uncheck as desired.
Hope this helps !!
i thought one potential source for my problem would be the antivirus, but i disabled firewall (eset at work and symantec end point protection at home) and no result what so ever.
I cand figure a way to sync the device even with the bluetooth since i cannot pair the device and the computer.
I am starting to regret i bought HTC...
Try click the Activesync icon on HD Program, there is a "Option" on the menu, click and see if you could delete all the old connect. If yes, re-establish the connection again to see.....good luck
Option menu item is disabled (i performed several hard resets)...(
Another thing i noticed. I unchecked the box (when connected to USB charge), so now when i plug the usb cable, it wont charge. But, if the device is in stand by (black screen), and i plug the usb cable, it wakes the device up. So, in my mind, i think it is something wrong with the OS, it still "feels" the USB cable, but cannot (for an unknown reason) take the necesary action.
For 4 hrs i try to sync the device with the computer using bluetooth, and i cannot manage to do so.
Is there any way to reinstall ActiveSync on my HTC device ?

Tonight i will try to install at home Windows VIsta (at work and at home right now i have XP). I cannot use my phone - no phone number in agenda and it's driving me mad. The phone rings and there are quite a few persons i dont want to talk with.. HEEEEEELP
nobody there to help me ?
If you did a hard reset, and you can connect in drive mode, but can not sync, then I am 99.9% sure that there is nothing wrong with your phone, but that your computer is messed up.
Uninstall all your antiviruses, firewalls, and other bloatware, and see if it works then.
Just a possible solution, but did you try plugging in your phone into other USB slots on your PC? Are you perhaps trying to sync it through an USB extension cord, or maybe USB hub? I had problems with my PC recognizing the THD if I tried syncing that way. Best results were plugging it directly into the back side of the casing.
The reason I'm asking this is that if you have too many USB devices plugged in, it's possible that the USB voltage drops too low and devices won't connect to the computer.
I tried on 5 different computers, all available USB ports.
On a new computer, sometimes on the device screen it shows up Active Sync but that is all, no sync occurs. If i try again on that computer, i get the same result as i get using the computer at home or work.
The device cannot conect as a Disk Drive
Is there a way to reinstall Active Sync on HTC ? My guess is that this software is all gone with the wind (even i performed a hard reset). The big question is what the hell happened ? Could be a ROM fault ? I mention i never tried to change ROM, the only software i installed was S2U2 and Core Player.
If by monday it wont work, then i'll send it into service (i have warranty). But i hate service
all out of ideas...
Any ideas ?
Which items are checked when you go to Settings/connections/Usb to Pc/ on youre phone?
Have you tried to use another memory card (because youre problems started with copying)?

Computer problems

My computer will say the driver's are installed, but when I go under my computer to move files, there is no drive listed for my phone. Whats going on here. Using a new hp computer with windows 7. Any help here would be nice.
I have also check the device manager, It is listing it as a t-mobile slide, bla bla bla so I un-installed and re-installed, still no luck, How or what am I doing wrong that the computer isn't listing this as a drive so I can move files?
when you plug phone in, a notification should apear on phone, pull down top bar and see what the USB symbol says next to it, if it says anything other than disk drive then go to settings>connect to pc>disk drive and then hit done
I do not have a usb thing pop up n my phone n the setting are right under the phone
it should be a notification in the notification bar, if you are not getting the notification then you may have a bad port on the computer, is the phone charging when you plug it in?
Try replacing the USB cable if you plug it in and charge light doesn't turn on.
nope, tryed different ports, all are reconizing that the phone is plugged in n the phone charges
Ok, I'm going to try a different computer, I tryed here at work, the computer started installing but I needed admin rights to install hardware so I guess I will try later
Stupid question, but have you tried: from the home screen, if you go to Menu > Settings > Connect to PC, Default connection type, try setting it to Disk drive...
Yes and I have tryed turning it to sync with the program I downloaded from htc, nothing. Now when I plugged it in last night, I noticed that I plugged it into the sata port but it still regonized the phone, deleted the driver n re installed by actually using the usb port but still nothing. So I just tryed my older laptop n it installed the driver, said t mobile slide, phone was chargiing but I still ddnt have the usb pop up on my phone.
I am starting to think somthing is wrong with the phone
Ok this is weird. I used a older laptop with xp n everything works fine. What should I do or download for win 7 to work properly

[Q] Zune no longer recognizes my phone...

Hey there,
I'm having issues trying to sync my phone with my computer. When I connect my phone, nothing happens, Zune doesn't launch, and when I open it, it doesn't show my device as connected. I've tried everything I can think of, different USB ports, rebooting both the phone and my pc. I'm running windows 7 64 bit, and it was working before. Anyone know what's going on?
Thanks for the help!
I had a similar problem. Here is what I did to solve it. Close Zune. Disconnect Phone. Then connect again. go to device manager, and look under portable devices (if you do not see it, try to display hidden devices, perhaps), then uninstall the driver for the phone. Disconnect the phone again. Run Zune. Remove all profiles for any other phone or device that is on Zune. Then connect your phone, and Windows should recognize it, as well as Zune. Good luck.
just tried that, still no luck. When my pc reinstalled the driver, it displayed the phone as "Microsoft USB Sync" which I thought was kind of weird

PC wont recognize device for file transfer

Just recently i tried to transfer for the first time, some wallpapers to my phone, and when i plug in the usb, the phone starts to charge normally but i cannot figure out why i cant transfer files from pc to phone or vice versa.
When i plug it in, it gives me the option to select what to "Use USB for", but when i select either MTP (file transfers) or PTP (transfer photos or files), nothing happens. I cannot browse the phone to pick anything at all.
When i go to device manager on PC i see under Portable devices the name of my phone (Moto G4 Play) but it has an exclamation point next to it. I have tried to uninstall and re-install or even update the driver but it will remain this way (if i click its propierties it tells me "This Device cannot start. Code 10"
Is there anything else i can do either on my phone or pc to make this work?
Other info:
Already downloaded motorola device manager to see if it would help but nope.
My PC OS is windows xp (yeah, i know... :laugh
My PC OS is windows xp

That probably explains everything
I don't think there are compatible drivers for Windows XP..
Long term support for WinXP ended three whole years ago. Though what I noticed with CM and Lineage is that the first time the phone is set up, it won't enable MTP even if checked. You have to reboot the phone and then MTP will actually enable properly.
Also, it may happen with 3rd party cables too. I myself faced this issue with Boat Indestructible cable, then I used the original cable that came with phone and successfully done it. But I still can't understand, how that cable can transfer data to/from other phones....
Just another bit of info:
Today while trying to make it work, i updated the driver from the Device Manager again and somehow i could access the phone as intended.
The problem is that after a few seconds, the window closes on its own! Then i have to redo the whole process and It gives me access again but every time, after a few seconds, the browsing window closes on its own!
I have tried with other cables and no dice, tried also rebooting phone and pc and also tried plugging it to all available usb ports. Any other tip or method i can try?
Try another pc to discard things (so you know if it's the pc or the phone)

Cant get phone to show up as USB drive in Windows

I have turned on debug mode (not the first time doing this and has worked before on this phone) where I would see my Samsung S6 Edge plus show up as a media drive on my pc so I can transfer files back and forth but now this does not work no matter what I do. any reason? is there issues with this phone? - keep in mind my phone is factory stock, not rooted or loaded with any third party rom.
Could be windows problem, have you tried with other android phones?
When you plug the phone in does it come up with a message saying charging? If so tap in it and see if you need to change it to MTP
Sounds like the drivers. Try out this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jze4q58cspwnjwh/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.zip?dl=1
It is for the drivers
