Greetings,
Ok my device does not connect to activesync via usb but it charges and everything else goes well, so i thought that the connector has some fault and i gave it to service station and they said they changed the connector and it is fixed now, but now it doesnt connect i dont know whats the fault, now i think it is due to the rom, coz from when i flashed the shcaps 3.54c i cannot connect before that it was normal.
So is there any other way i can see if the connector is ok.

Don't know if they fooled U
but this is AFAIK related to the rom. Had the same problem overnight
and some others also had, so I remembered about this issue and posted.
Never needed this function (Advanced....), so what...
Nice that it worked.

i plug my phone into one of the usb ports on my desktop n it sees it for one second then go away. ive tried all the usb ports and get the same results. my computer at work sees the phone with no problem. n my comp sees my iphone with no problem along with anything else i plug into it. i am on Windows XP, what could be the problem??
Try installing HTC Sync drivers.
Yes what Jykinturah said. After that i would get options on how i wanted it connected to my pc. i.e. charge only, Hard disk , etc.
ive done that already, nothing works, maybe i need the drivers n my comp wont download them upon connecting the phone

one thing you might try is disabling sense and using the android launcher. then reset the phone. once it boots up try and connect it to your pc. This was how I got mine to connect. when I was using the sense launcher it somehow blocked that options screen and the default I selected wouldn't stick. once I got the connection to my pc working this way I was able to re-enable sense and it's worked perfectly ever since.

goto settings ->applications->managed applications
find HTC Sense and click on it, then hit the "clear defaults" button and now hit the home key. it'll offer you the choice of sense or Launcher. pick launcher and once that loads up go ahead restart the phone to clear any remnants of sense.
try selecting the mount as disk drive option hen you connect it to the computer. It should show up then under one of the disk drives.

ok so after i updated my phone today, im right back to where i started, this is so frustrating
Try rebooting into recovery and see if it works. If it doesn't its anything, if it does try backing up and using a fresh rom.
Mine was fixed by removing the short usb extender cable.

If your pictures are on your micro SD card then you can just put that in another device and get the pictures off that way or get a micro SD to SD card converter on eBay.
Hope I helped!
i know this isn't really a how to fix it, but there was a thread somewhere i think that was posted in the in the general section that had the exact same problem. It was fixed by running a program where you control the phone with your computer... i think.. or it allowed you to display the screen of the phone on your computer... you can also try to use an mhl adapter.
sorry i can't help, but if you dig a little you might be able to find that thread. don't exactly remember how the exact process went, but it solved the problem

You're thinking of using a VNC server? That will do it but the problem is that he has to install it on his phone....wait but that a can be done via adb or desktop play store. He will have to do it over wifi in order to determine the IP of the device so he can connect to the server.

I got pics off my broken vibrant with Droid explorer. It does require root and USB debugging to be on. Thankfully I always left it on. You also need to set up adb on your computer.
Other than that I'm not sure. It took months of asking arOund and almost wiping my Sd with bad adb commands.
My phone broke and it took five months before figuring it out after giving up.

I think it was something like this.
I really can't remember the thread was like in January/February.
So OP hope you're up for some searching and hope you can find the correct terms to search with...
edit: found it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501169&highlight=mhl&page=2
it is droid explorer.
However, if you're not rooted yeah.... and if your usb debugging isn't on... yeahh....
if you think you can still control the screen... then try an mhl adapter. that may be your last choice besides replacing the screen.
woke up this morning to something weird. I have the appradio 2 which i use a mhl cord to connect to it. plugged it in like any other day and it wouldnt work. thought maybe it was a bad connection to radio but it wasnt. so i took it inside to plug into tv and nothing. so i plugged it into computer to see if it would connect and nothing. weird thing is, it charges but no connection to pc or anything. ive uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and nothing works. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the response but that didnt seem to help.
I'm curious if its a hardware issue or something else. I've restored a backup i had to see if that helped but nothing. If i return to stock unrooted will that help? Or does someone have an idea as to why and how to fix this? Thanks for any help.
No idea. I did some searches for something like "android stuck usb charge only" and came up with the below. Some folks said that they were able to fix it, though not permanently, by wiping. The above seemed to work for some, though again, not permanently. I wasn't able to find anything else.
Did you try connecting to other PC's?
Did you try removing the device from your PC's device manager, uninstall the driver, then reinstall the driver and reconnect?
I agree it seems hardware'ish because it's also a problem with the MHL cord, too. I wish I could help more, but there's not much out there about being stuck in charge only mode.
Are you still under Manufacterer's warranty? Maybe that can be returned because it won't mount.?

Dont have another PC so that option cant be tested now. I removed the device and unistalled/reinstalled drivers and nothing.
Warranty is not an option because its past due. I do have insurance but am afraid of not getting an OG in return and i dont know how all that works to be honest.
I am willing to return to stock but only one concern i have is losing all my data. How do i backup pics and documents without being able to connect to pc? PLEASE can someone show me the way. Thanks again for all responses.

I started having this problem after installing the latest LG drivers. Replicated the issue on 3 different Windows 7 PCs. 1 32-bit home-built, 1 64-bit Gateway laptop with OEM image, 1 64-bit HP Laptop with work image.
Before upgrading, phone connects fine with in both MTP & PTP modes just using built-in (or pulled from WU) drivers. After upgrading to LG drivers, PC no longer detects the phone. Uninstalling the drivers or going backwards to earlier versions does not fix the problem.
Again,thanks to everyone for their responses, I really appreciate it. But unfortunately nothing seems to be helping my issue. I'm going by my wife's job to hook up to her computer to see if hers can recognize my phone, well at least I hope.
One thing I ask of someone, I've been using Arliberator to connect to my radio. Maybe someone has more knowledge than me to help.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5reWxlLmFybGliZXJhdG9yIl0.
Anyways, it has an option under settings to "fix drivers" which I have no idea what it does so i never messed with it. Except for when it wouldnt connect to the radio, I pressed it. Could that have anything to do with it not connecting to pc? I've emailed the dev of this app but have gotten no response as to what it does.
I'm really at a loss here as I can still use my phone but not to its full potential. Its frustrating because I cant even return to stock to see if it will fix my issue. Is there any other way to return to stock without a pc? Like can i flash a stock RUU? I ask because I once had an Evo 4g and was able to do it that way.
Again, thanks to everyone's responses.
I finally heard from the dev of ARLiberator and he guarantees me his app has nothing to do with my phone and that the "fix drivers" is for the app only. He says to try and reset my phone to try and solve my issue. But wouldn't that completely erase my phone?
Idk how I got here...

My Phone
Hi, Uber-noob here. I have the sprint samsung gs3, Model number sph-l710, android version 4.1.2. I had stock rooted my phone via QBKing77's video (thanks man!) and had had no problems, including connecting my phone by USB (PDA net, Odin, etc.) to my PCs.
My Problem
For no reason I can see, my laptop(s) stopped recognizing my phone. There is no message, the pc acts as though nothing was plugged in, no message. Device manager shows nothing either. The ONLY sign that my phone was plugged in at all is the "battery charging" icon on my phone.
What I've Done
I use a good data cable that used to work, and have bought and tried a new one. I have tried 2 other computers. I have reinstalled the USB drivers. I have pulled the battery from my phone, waited, and put it back in. I just did a factory reset. Nothing has changed.
I hope someone here can help me figure this out, cause I'm stumped. Please let me know if I can provide any more info. Thanks!

I would still try another cable because I've cables quit working out of the blue before. Also, it may help if you go to device manager and uninstall/remove your USB hub and then restart your computer...it will automatically detect and reinstall it.
I would try with a linux livecd/liveusb to rule out a driver issue. Also try a different cable. Or make sure your cable works - try with another device or computer.
And there really should be no need for extradrivers if you plug it in a mass storage mode. At least my two phones work with Win7, Ubuntu and Crunchbang otb.

Hello, I'm not familiar with linux at all so that would be more of a last resort. However, I have tried multiple computers and a brand new data cable so that is not the answer probably. I appreciate the suggestion though!

That was a good idea! But it didn't work unfortunately. I'm starting to think that I may have a bad micro USB port in my phone. But the phone charges just fine, so I dunno. I hope you have more ideas? Thanks a lot dor the advice!
Yeah could be one of the pins in the port is messed up. Would explain why it charges, but no data connection.
I swear I tried every suggested solution out there – uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. Rebooting in download mode and trying to get phone and PC top lay nice. I accessed all those hidden settings and poked around with the settings. Three hours of tooling around the web looking for solutions and I got nowhere. Then I came across some obscure site where somebody suggested the pins might be off. With the care of a surgeon, I slipped the tip of a knife into my phone's USB port and nudged it every so slightly. Plugged and in and there was that elusive USB symbol, offering up all those grand options. I would've bet anything that this was some complex driver issue, but no. It was a slightly bent pin in that tiny opening at the bottom of my SIII. I'm not sure if I should be elated or annoyed at all the time wasted. I hope you guys find your own solutions, whatever they prove to be. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.
