Had my hd7 for about few days now and just tried plugging it into my xbox360 and it didn't recognize it. I find this kinda strange seeing how it could easily recognize my Zune 30 and Zune 120. Is it just my device or is this feature missing.
i don't think anyone has tried this yet, so perhaps it isn't a feature in the phone yet.
only thing that seems to work is that it will charge your phone

I'm having trouble connecting to Zune. Got my HD7 a couple of weeks ago and it worked fine. Been waiting for GeoTrust to verify my identity so I can developer unlock the phone. Finally came through today.
But now whenever I plug the phone in Zune makes out like it's not connected. It doesn't even show up in device manager.
I've tried re-installing Zune, different USB ports different cables, different PC, hard resetting phone. 35 mins call to Microsoft support who ended up telling me to call T-Mobile... (don't think they would help too much with my O2 HTC HD7)
Anyone had similar problems?
I'm running Win7 x64 and latest version of Zune. It was connecting just the other day and I could run "Windows Phone Developer Registration" and it connected but complained registration was not yet complete (due to identity not being verified). Now it complains that phone is not connected.
Hope someone knows, it's been driving me crazy!
Starting to think it must be hardware. Just plugged phone into laptop that it has never been plugged into before. The phone played it's tune and started charging but not a peep out of the laptop. Same as the other two PC's nothing in Device Manager.
Think maybe the data part of the USB socket is broken, looks ok though...

Have you tried Wireless Sync?
Thanks for the replies.
As far as I could tell you needed to plug it in with a cable to setup wireless sync.
Took phone back to O2 shop yesterday and swapped it for a new one.
The new one works perfectly. Seems there really was a hardware issue.
Finally got a developer registered phone
ive had the epic since the day it was released and have had an impossible time getting my computer to recognize it on a consistent basis. i have no idea whats going on. when i first got it i downloaded the samsung drivers and installed them, hooked up my phone and nothing. the computer tried to install drivers but consistently failed. the next day i tried again, did absolutely nothing, and it recognized my phone and i was able to root and everything else. since then its been hit or miss, one day it will recognize it and then it wont for a week, even without doing a god damn thing.
recently i dropped my epic in the snow and it fried the radio, i brought it to sprint and told them the radio just quit working and they gave me a new one. now im having the same problem, i cant get my comp to recognize the phone. i installed the samsung 32 bit drivers and everything, but still nothing. i hook up my phone and it either tries to install more drivers or does nothing at all. I want to root my phone and throw some roms on here, but i cant seem to figure it out. my buddy has a captivate and said he read a post in those forums of some guy having the same problem and a solution but i cant find it. im told its a windows 7 32 bit malfunction of some kind.
sorry for no capitalization/ punctuation and poor grammar but im in a hurry to get to school and i wanted to get this posted before i left.
please help, this is pissing me off.
thanks,

Have you tried completely removing the drivers and reloading them?
+1 uninstall/reinstall drivers. Make sure phone is not connected when installing drivers.
Also make sure you have the usb cable unplugged from the pc until you are ready to do something. I found that if you leave the cable plugged into the PC at all times (and unplug/replug at the phone end) it makes it more likely to not detect. Leaving the phone end plugged in and plugging/unplugging the PC end made a world of difference for me.
Reinstall windows. It's almost funny how often that corrects weird driver issues.
Try using the usb cable and phone on another computer and see if it does the same thing. Also try using different usb ports, alot of times the front usb ports are underpowered and will give you issues when you try and mount the phone.
Sounds to me like the cable. IMO the only thing the stock cable is good for is charging on my nightstand. I bought a $2 cable off of eBay that works EVERY time.
I had the same exact problem as you! Just have you tried connecting your phone to one of the USB ports on the back of your computer?
Use the USB ports on the motherboard on the back. Create a new profile for connecting the epic and load the drivers in that Profile. If it fails to recognize, try another port. Make sure you are installing the drivers on the new profile you created through User Accounts and then plugging your phone in. This should fix your problem.
i had the same issue with home premium (also win7) i had to reinstall the drivers before everytime i plugged my phone in.
however, since i put a new rom on it (bonsai 2.0) i havent had this issue.
i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers numerous times. i rarely ever have the cable plugged in when im not trying to use it to connect to the phone. and my computer only has 2 usb ports on the side of my laptop, so i dont really have many options as far as that is concerned. not sure what else i can do.
Reinstall windows. It is incredibly easy.
+1 for the reinstalling of windows - obnoxious as it may seem. I have a dinky old laptop that I installed Vista on just to do work on my Epic. I can use any cable (stock or my Monoprice.com special) and any port on it to connect to my epic. My Win7 desktop, however, won't to this day recognize it.
Some people have reported success using the drivers that come with PDA.net , too.
Many people are scared of reinstalling windows. They think they'll mess something up. Just backup everything you don't want to lose and you'll be fine. Windows installs, and especially Windows 7 installs are incredibly easy. They basically install themselves. At work, when computers come back in from our stores with problems, I usually delete the junk, copy the hard drive, and reinstall windows. Unless hardware is dying, it damn near always fixes the problem and takes a whole lot less time than trying to troubleshoot some of windows' weird conflicts.
Also, reinstalling windows on a semi-regular basis will get you to build good habits about backing up and organizing your files.
Zune will not show my Samsung Focus as being connected to my computer. It shows up under device manager as Windows Phone USB and if I try to access pictures or music on the phone while connected, it says "connecting/syncing with computer" and will not let me access. So everything seems to think its connected except for Zune
It works fine on my netbook so I thought windows on this computer was messing up. So I reinstalled windows (after reinstalling zune multiple times), and the same problem. It opens up Zune as soon as I connect the phone, but it does not show my device as being connected.
Might be a computer hardware issue, but its a relatively recent build with a core i5 processor so im not sure. Any help/tips appreciated.
have you tried a different USB port and/or different cable?

Yes I have tried the front ports, the back ports, and a powered USB hub. All have the same result.
I only have 1 microusb cable (the one that came with the phone) and it works fine connected to my netbook and charger. So I don't think the cable is faulty. But I ordered another one off monoprice just to be certain. I will test that once its here.
Is there an alternate program which I can use to transfer media on/off my phone instead of Zune?
afraid not.
have you tried disabling your firewall and/or antivirus just before connecting and seeing if things run then? if so, i'm guessing one/both of them are stopping it from syncing.
I had an issue with this before as well. Make sure the cable you are using is the actual Samsung Cable...other cables don't seem to work.
If it still doesn't work, try de-associating the phone from the zune software/perform a hard reset.
Try doing a battery pull and then restarting the phone and trying... That's what I have to do. I am running 7008

i have the sprint samsung s3 SPH-L710, and had it for about 4 months now. before connecting my phone to my pc (windows 8) or any other computer for that matter i did not have any issues transferring files back and forth. even after i rooted my phone there was no issue. after about a week or two i started to have issues. 1 being while the phone is off the screen no longer shows that the battery is charging instead the screen stays blank and vibrates continuously so the only way to really charge it when its dead is to start the turning on process and then plug the phone in. 2 there is now a delay when accepting the charge ive used the original and other usb cables to see if that was the issue and it wasn't. lastly any pc do not recognize the phone nor does the phone recognizes that it has been connected to the pc. ive chaged the settings to MTP then MTP +ADB under PDA and still nothing. uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them. even reverted my phone back to stock the original sprint factory state and still getting nowhere it seems. if anyone have an idea i would be very greatful!

If they don't recognize each other. Sit them down and introduce them.
But really, Did you try it again on a XP or 7 computer? Maybe switching to Windows 8 cause HW issues with your comp.
I had this problem with my shift. It either wouldn't get recognized by the computer, or it would but the state would be "offline" in adb not matter what. I also was not able to mount my sdcard by connecting my phone, even though it would show up as a disk drive
The only way I was able to fix this was by getting another phone from Sprint
And yeah, same as you I tried multiple cables, branded, unbranded. Multiple computers too, running windows 7/8
Only adb through wifi was reliable, but push/pull was too slow to actually get anything done

i sat them down and neither one paid attention to each other. so i figured since the phone and windows 8 didnt want to talk i would try windows 7 and vista and the computer doesnt see that its connected to the phone nor does the phone see its connected to the computer. I dont even see anything pop up in the notifications on the phone

Wait.. That's how the Phablet came to be...
I just purchased a mint condition Pixel 1 XL on ebay. It arrived with Android 9. I should have plugged it in then to check if USB file transfer mode would work. But I just assumed it would since I've never had a problem with any device in the past: various apple phones, samsung tablet, google nexus tablet.
So I updated the phone to Android 10 before I plugged the phone in, and then discovered it refuses to recognize my device for file transfer, only for charging. It does not show up in device manager at all, even though it is charging. The phone makes a sound to indicate it is charging, but it does not pop up with anything to ask if I want to connect to the PC. The phone 100% acts like I just plugged it into the wall instead of a PC.
OEM unlock is enabled.
USB debugging is enabled.
Default USB configuration is set to File Transfer mode.
I already installed the latest android_winusb driver.
I've rebooted both the phone and the PC.
I've tried plugging it into 3 different Windows 10 PCs with google android usb driver installed. Only one of those PCs has samsung android drivers installed on it. The others only ever had iphone plugged into them. So there shouldn't be any drivers interfering that I know of.
But no matter what, it only charges the device, it never recognizes it in device manager.
Since I bought this off ebay, it did not come with the official, original USB cable.
I'm praying maybe it's just the third-party USB cable causing the problem. But I can't find any cable that is verified to work for File Transfer. Do you know where I can buy a cable like this? Link please?
If it's not the cable, is there any way out of this situation? If I can't get device manager to recognize the phone, I think it's impossible to flash the phone back to Android 9 or something to see if Android 10 broke something???
I've already read some really scary posts online of other pixel phones of various models simply stop recognizing their phones in device manager and they never get it back. It becomes a fancy brick that works as a phone, but you can't actually do anything with it because no PC will recognize it.
I was excited to try a pixel phone for the first time until this happened. What the heck, Google?
Ok I think the stupid trick is you have to UNLOCK the phone BEFORE you plug it in. If you plug it in, and then unlock it, it will never give you a notification asking to connect to the PC no matter what you do.
As someone used to iphones, at least iphone says "unlock me" when I plug it in and it doesn't properly connect. But plenty of other times it will connect to device manager even if I don't unlock it.
Kinda annoyed Android doesn't say anything at all when you plug it in without unlocking it first.
