[Q] Desire disables PC's Wifi - Desire General

I've a strange problem:
When I connect my Desire with my PC, my WLAN-Stick stops working (I'm using the D-Link DWA-142). The LED turns off and I'm offline (like if it's disabled in the settings).
When I plug my phone off the Wifi is working again.
This actually happened when I connected my phone in recover mode.
The phone's Wifi works all the time.
Has anyone any idea what I could try to avoid this??!

That's odd. Have you tried updating the drivers for the adapter?

It's probably a power issue - when your phone is connected, it is probably drawing too much current from the USB hub.
I'd suggest buying a powered USB hub.

Dave

cheers, i tried a normal USB port and it works!! I only used the front ports before (head -> wall -.-)

pc doesn't detect usb connection/sync

Hi,
I bought an used Dash and when I try to sync it through ActiveSync nothing happens. I tried to intiate the sync from the Dash and nothing happens either.
Basically, nothing happens when I connect it to the USB port in the PC. It doesn't try to sync, the PC doesn't see a new unit or anything else that happens when you connect something to the USB. I used to have another Dash sync'd to the same computer and everything was fine.
Is it possible that the usb port in this Dash is broken? is there any way to verify it? I've tried with two different cables that I know they work and plugging it in different USB ports in the PC.
Thanks.

PD: the Dash does charge through the usb cable. And after charging for a bit, I can see that the battery is full, led is green.

Check this:
on the dash
Start menu
Settings
Connections
More
USB to PC
remove the check-box in the advanced connection setting
save and try again
also... are you running a firewall? if so, that's quite likely a problem as well. i run comodo and it blocks the connection. i haven't figured out the proper setting yet to allow the phone through so i just shut comodo off when i'm needing to access the phone from my computer.
When you plug your usb cable into your phone, does the light on the top turn either amber or green? If so, usb connection is working. If it is still not syncing, open Activesync on your PC got to tools-connectionsettings and make sure Allow usb connections is checked.

[Q] Galaxy nexus USB data stopped working (still charges)

My Nexus is stock but it is unlocked.
I have the latest CWM on there (touch 5.8.0.2)
I was currently downloading all the necessary stuff to flash to AOKP but havent even got there yet because all of the sudden my USB isn't working.
I have tried two different cables, the stock one and a different one (both which were working before).
I get charging working through USB but no file transfer.
I just did a wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache via Recovery, and still nada.
Am I cooked here? B-stock with no warranty from Expansys, now currently kicking myself for not buying brand new.
[edit] yes MTP and USB Debug were/are both checked on
[edit2] a lot of my searches seem to indicate that you can move and transfer via adb in recovery or fastboot while having this error. I am not finding that to be the case.
[edit3] windows 7 does not show any indication of a usb drive or anything plugged in as it used to before. This is obviously making it hard for me to try things like reinstalling drivers and whatnot.
thanks
It probably has nothing to do with the USB port...
Plug your phone into your computer, and then scroll the status bar down. You should see a notification "Connected as xx" Select that, then make sure connect as MTP is checked, if it's connected via ptp (camera) it won't allow you to sync files, for what reason so ever...
If that doesn't help, then reflash stock ROM, that usually helps.. With most problems anyway...
If both of these don't work, then I'm sorry, but I can't help you. I'd then call Samsung, and send it in...

Yea MTP was already checked on. USB debugging being on would have auto kicked in as well.
I flashed AOKP but still the same issues. The hardware might have gotten bonked - I hate how fragile these tiny little ports are!
Is there some kind of diagnostic I can run to see if it is truly a hardware issue?
It's the kernel, try another one

Just swapped to Faux kernel... still persists.
I'm really starting to think its the hardware but crossing my fingers there's a fix.
the same thing is happening to me, it started yesterday too!
I am on AOKP b-23, Faux kernel....
plug in my usb, it can charge but absolutely nothing happens on the computer side, try it on number of computers too... but the phone is able to charge.

Mine started doing this. Would chargeā€š but sometime I couldn't transfer data or use adb. It seems that the USB didn't like to stay in my computer. Any little movement would unplug it just enough to keep it charging but nothing else.

I've since tested the MHL cable and also tried using the usb host cable to connect a mouse and both work... does that mean my data connection theoretically could be fine?
I'm using AOKP #23 with Trinity and not had this issue at all. Whether it's because I combine the ROM, Gapps and kernel before flashing I don't know but my phone is running fine
im having this problem as well. does anyone have a solution?
So all you guys that are having problems have enabled MTP through Settings >Storage?

Had this same issue yesterday ( phone was 1 day old ) had it plugged into my windows 7 machine and all of sudden the machine couldnt see it. So I wiggled the cable sure enough the computer saw it, jiggled it again and it would lose connection to the PC. Tried this on several PCs with Several cables and same result everytime. If I held the cable connected to the phone at the right angle it would never lose connection.
Ran to Verizon and the numbskull behind counter tried telling me that is normal and I would just have live with it, almost punched him in the throat. Demaded he go get another phone and show me if that one does it. It didnt so he swapped it and was to hasty about it, ended up giving me another cable charger and headphones WOOT WOOT
new phone doesnt do it as of this writing
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427539 This is probably the issue you guys are experiencing. Seems like you should swap it in or try to fix it yourself by changing the USB charging board.

i'm an android dev and this has happened to me. really really not good to no longer have adb access to my device. restarted both the phone and computer and tried a different coworker's computer and usb cable with no luck.
i used a samsung usb charger last night which i usually never do (i usually just charge it on the computer) and now this morning i have no data connection.
Hello,
have this problem already on my GNEX. After some reading, i got an idea to turn off Fast Charge in Trickster MOD.
And MTP now working .
Anyway there is an warning about fast charge - " Enabling this will disable access to phone storage" .
Problem solved
Yes, i can't connect mtp too and you rigth..usb fast charging is the problem.

Just so y'all know...Fast Charge is simply tricking your phone into thinking it's plugged into an AC outlet...rather than a USB port.
Thus MTP won't work.
same issue here
I'm having the same issue here. Charging works fine with 2 computers and multiple USB cables (as well as AC and car charger adapters), but data transfer has completely stopped working. My computer won't see my phone at all. I have the correct drivers (given that I used them to connect to my computer when I first rooted and unlocked the bootloader). Tried changing the drivers, but I can't get my phone to show up in Device Manager at all. MTP and USB Debugging are enabled.
The only thing I can think of is that I dropped my phone while it was connected, and now the USB cable only charges the phone if I bend it in a certain way (it usually requires upward pressure where the cable plugs into the phone to work). However, other USB charging cables work just fine without any pressure. Is there any chance that a new OEM Samsung USB cable might solve my problem? The other cables I've used weren't OEM.
I normally use a wi-fi data transfer app because the USB data transfer has been slow since day one, so that can be worked around. What IS a major problem for me is that I'm trying to re-root my phone after my root access was lost with the 4.0.4 OTA update. I didn't keep up with the news and only realized last week that my root access had been lost because I tried to do things that required root. Since the OTA update trashed my CWM recovery image, I seem to have no way to re-root and reinstall CWM aside from going back to my computer and doing what I did the first time. But if I can't connect to my computer, I can't do that. It also seems that I would need computer access to remove root in case I bring it back to Verizon for a replacement under warranty.
So on another note, if you guys know of a way to re-root my phone without connecting it to my PC, I'm all ears...

I have run into a lot of USB defects on the phones I have received. It might be wise to get Samsung to repair it, but you will be without a phone for a week. You could also try another cable.
I used to have similar issues except where the power got routed into the data port, frying my phone in multiple areas.
On Samsung's repair ticket they said REPLACED COMPONENT (I'm assuming this is the usb controller and port) this could be the solution but it requires sending it in.

usb host problems

Hello, I have really odd problems with connecting devices to my sgs2. When I connect the cable my phone recognizes it and sometimes recognises also wireless mouse when I connect it. Problems starts when I want to connect pendrive or hard drive (with addictional power cable). The phone doesn't recognise it (already found that i need program to mount from market (doesn't work)) and hard drive shuts itself down after few moments.
Also when I take out cable from micro usb port my phone immidiatelly reboots sometimes it even does it when I just connect and disconnect cable without mouse etc on the second end. I am using rooted 4.0.3 XXLPW. Does anyone has similar problems or just my phone has something wrong with usb port? Looking forward for any helpful responses and sorry for my eng. Thanks.

Otg usb cable issues

Hi,
I just bought an adaptor cable for my n8010 to allow me to connect flash drives and other usb devices. However, every usb device that I have connected (a couple of flash drives and a usb keyboard) seems to have the same issue. Basically, I connect the device and it will continously connect and then a few seconds later disconnect the device. This just keeps looping until I physically disconnect the device.
With the usb keyboard I find that I can actually use the device while it says it is connected. However, I dont seem able to see the usb drives mounted anywhere.
Has anyone managed to get a flash pen and keyboard working using an adaptor cable?
Im using Revolution HD 4.1 if that makes any difference.

Try turning your note off completely, plug in the usb stick and turn on. I had the same problem. In the boot process the note discovered the device and now works fine. After the initial boot with the usb stick it appears to remember it and shows up automatically when I plug it in.

You sir are a GOD AMONG MEN! Ive had my device since Sept 2012 and havent been able to get a USB to work with it....Thanks for the solution, no more having to use FTP or Bluetooth (online solutions) or deal with removing SD cards to Xsfer data.

This seems to be the case for all accessories that use the 30 pin data connecter. I have tried 3 different usb adapters as well as the Samsung keyboard dock. None have any instructions indicating you have to restart the Note but that is what works.
ENJOY!

Is it possible to run a Internet USB Dongle with the original adapter, or with any OTG cable?
I need to have internet connection outside my house, and using an USB Dongle is my only option.
Best regards

I don't believe that's possible; however, you should be able to use your smartphone as a hotspot unless it's prohibited by your mobile provider.

HTC M9 Connecting to Computer Problem

Hey Guys,
First of all, I am a new member here my name is Salem and its an amazing forum.
Anyway, I have a slight problem with my HTC M9 while connecting it into my laptop. First, when I connect it, the mobile starts charging, and it gives me no option as to change it to Media Transfer or anything... even it gives me "Slow Charging" Error, and my laptop is detecting nothing, as if nothing happened, nor its searching for any drivers...
I went to developer menu and used USB Debugging, and selected USB configuration as MTP, and it didn't work...
I installed HTC Sync to get the drivers, and it is the same.
Can you guys help me? because I wanna root the phone and I tried various Auto Root applications without using the PC and they didn't work. Thank you guys
No signal from the laptop probably means you have a faulty USB cable. Most likely a break in one of the data wires.
Try another good quality usb 2.0 cable.

Same issue. Tried multiple cables
I have the same issue. When I try to plug into any PC a slow charging message pops up but the phone won't give me the option to connect to PC. I have turned on USB Debugging and selected MTP (Media Transfer Protocol). Please help!
I am with TPG. Android 6.0 HTS 7.0 Software number 3.35.617.12
I only bought this phone a week ago and it updated when I turned it on.

Most likely a crap or broken cable. Other cables, other sockets, other pc's are all worth a try.
You should leave the usb port in "charging only". When you successfully connect to a pc the phone will prompt you to allow data transfers to that computer.
I know this because mine does it. I'm sick to death of the effing thing promting me to connect to my xbox one when all i want to do is charge the effing thing... My phone is set to charging only.
I suppose rom choice will affect it too. Mine is rooted stock 6.0.
Beamed in by telepathy.
Still have same problem
I still can't connect my M9 to my PC. Still have slow charge message come up and no option to connect to PC. My work around has been transferring files using WiFi. However, now I need to do a presentation using scrcpy and will probably have to get a new phone. I'm tmepted not to buy HTC again. Pretty frustrating and no fix found on the internet...
