Hi
I have a big issue whereby when I connect my desire to my laptop as a disk drive I am unable to copy any files across.
My computer recognises the phone and opens up windows explorer (albeit very slowly) but when I try to navigate around the folders it just hangs until i get a notification telling me that windows explorer is not responding.
I have tried 3 different cards, all with the same results. In addition I have had my phone replaced and both the old phone and the replacement are the same. Have also tried 2 different cables.
Cards have no problem connecting in a card reader.
I am using windows 7 64 bit. I am also unable to connect to HTC sync.
I am convinced that this is a windows 7 issue. I am aware that others on the same OS have no issues but I can't see what else the problem could be.
Anyone else had this issue and found a fix?
This is now driving me insane so any help would be most appreciated.

have you checked you have the latest drivers installed on your computer for your phone?
also make sure your usb cable is connected to the main usb ports on your computer not any hubs or anything
First of all you have to install the "windows mobile device center"
When you connect the HTC to your computer, there pops a window up, where you can choose, between sync and fast data travel. have you tried this out?
if the window is not there go to settings-->connections-->USB to Pc and change it there. (not in the touch flo settings. there you have to go to MORE and there are this settings)
maybe this helps

sorry cgrec92 ... I was writing this while you posted your answer
Thanks for the response guys.
Have tried connecting via all 4 of the usb ports so this doesn't seem to be the issue. Have also uninstalled the drivers and then plugged the device back in to reinstall drivers but with no luck. Have also downloaded the adb driver from the net but with no joy.
Is mobile device centre not exclusively for windows phones?!
Keep the ideas coming!

Erhhh.... are you aware that this is the Desire forum, which is an Android device and not Windows Mobile?
To the OP: seems to me that you've tried everything connected to the phone/cables, but haven't tried connecting to a different PC. I've no problems with Windows 7 x64, but I would suggest that you plugging your device into a different PC.

I've got exactly the same problem, it's rather annoying now.
It used to work fine up until now
Does anybody got something like this? Since i have DHD and connect him to my PC i usually get a Windows Explorer crash and force close ... It happens almost every time when i connect my DHD into PC via USB ... Anybody?
I`m using Windows 7 64bit
What if you uninstall/reinstall the HTC sync and drivers, then reboot. Also reboot and try a fresh/different usb port.

Have to tried changing the default connection setting to disk drive? Does ur computer recognise the phone at all like coming up in My computer as "Removable disk"? and are u on a stock or custom rom? Also u could try an app like Auto Mount SD card, or Multi Mount your SD card. Think Multi needs phone to be rooted but Auto doesn't. Maybe make sure your using the cable that came with the phone coz not all USB cables are set up for data exchange.
Hi,
the USB port of my GN does not work for data.
If I connect it to the charges, it's getting charged as usual.
But if I connect the phone to my PC (Win8 or Linux) it doesn't work. Only the charging function works.
The PC tries to install the drivers for a new USB device but after a short time it says that it couldn't be installed.
Anyone who knows a solution?
Since you mentioned this I went ahead and tried my Rooted GNex on PC and Mac. It worked fine on PC but MAC is not finding my phone.

I have my One X for like 5 months now. Everything was working just fine and I was able to connect my phone to my MacBook with no problems. I was able to transfer files using HTC Sync Manager as well. However, recently my phone would not connect to any computer. When I connect my phone to the computer it just starts charging, no other notification shows up in the bar. Sync manager would not see the phone as well. I don't know if its the software or my phone. I tried Windows and OSX; I tried different USB cables; Factory Reset did not help; Debugging is on. Its frustrating! It seems like people encounter this problem, but no real solution or answer has been found. Do you guys know something about this?
