[Q] cant connect to computer - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

my Evo wont connect to CPU any more ive tried reading all the other threads but still not working

I just want to flesh out some of the details here.
Is the phone charging when you plug it into the computer?
Is there any activity from your PC or the phone when you select "Disk Drive" from the USB menu? (Like maybe a USB error/not connected sound in Windows).
Are you able to access or see it through ADB using the SDK?
Does it work on any other computers?
Have you done anything recently? Did it just happen today?

usb connection not working
I'm having the same problem--my original usb cable was damaged, and I just bought a new (generic) one. Does the EVO require a special type of cable rather than just a standard micro usb?
Here's the details:
USB Debugging is enabled.
Phone is set to ask for connection type (default is disk drive).
Phone charges when plugged into the PC but the computer doesn't recognize it.
In the notification bar, there is the usb debugging icon, but not the other one that usually says charge only/disk drive, etc.
ADB doesn't see the phone.
So far I haven't been able to get to another computer to see if it does the same thing. I tried disabling usb debugging, no effect.

update
Ok, yesterday I got my phone replaced because the screen was damaged. I also got a new usb cable; this one specifically for the EVO. Same thing. I plug it into the computer, and it charges, but the PC doesn't recognize it, and the phone just seems to think it's plugged into an AC adapter. The phone is set to ask what to do whenever I connect it to a PC. Since this is a brand new phone and cable, I would think this would have to be a computer issue, but the PC doesn't seem to recognize that anything has even been connected.
Update: solved--it was the usb port. For some reason the usb ports on my pc case stopped working; plugged into one of the back panel ports and it works fine.

Any microsd cable will work, I'm using my palm pre's now, my htc cable went out a month ago.
I
Chevk device manager whole you are plugging your phone in. just in case there is some bad driver issue, it should show there.

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.

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.

HTC M8 won't connect to Computer after Marshmellow

Was working right b4 the update. Installed HTC sync manager to see if that was the problem but it didn't help. Its not the cable. Its not the computer usb port. Its probably not the micro usb port as it will still charge and would be a pretty big coincidence.
Do you get a notification on the phone. that USB is used for charging? If so, you need to tap that, and enable file sync via USB.
Restarted my laptop. Phone is showing up again. Guess my laptop is just being funny.

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.

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...
