When I plug my evo into my computer, the screen that asks what I want to do is no longer showing up. I looked in the settings and the button is clicked on that I want it to show up. Still nothing. Any suggestions? Cause I want to move zip file to phone and I cant choose change it to disk drive
I have that happen occasionally. Normally, rebooting the phone does the trick (unplug, reboot, plug back in.) Sometimes I have to switch which USB port I'm using on the computer.
the other guy was right, this happenes to me too. All you wanna do is try a different usb port on your pc or laptop and you should be good
May need to wipe dalvik/cache also just to clean things up a bit

That has happened to me several times. Usually it's a bad usb cable. If it's not allowing data to cross, the phone will not give you the option to change. If the phonedoesn't see a data connection than it acts just like it would if it was plugged into a wall outlet.
I use retractable cables and they usually start to do that when the cable is bad or going bad.
Try wiggling the wire in various spots to see if you can get a connection. If not than I can almost bet that your cable is going bad. Just replace the cable and you should be fine.
I always keep backups for this reason. You can get cheap ones off Ebay. I like the retractable ones because they're less hassle and track free. I never take it out of the computer. I use the Quadrimax retractable cable. You can get them for about 10 dollars. If you buy the cheap ones you never know if they're going to work or not.
Let me know if this was the issue, I'd like to know. Good Luck!

Interesting problem I have had on and off. When I plug my phone into my desktop, it will connect normally, then a few seconds later it acts like I unplugged it. It's not the rom as it does it in recovery as well(both with usb-ms activated and without). I have HTC Sync installed. Rebooting either the computer and/or phone doesn't fix it, it just goes away after awhile and starts working again. I've experienced the problem FAR less when connecting it to my laptop, it will typically work there and not on my desktop when the problem crops up.
it's like this problem but it's not constantly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711616
-Edit- the device also doesn't show it's charging even when it 'disconnects'
I have the same problem. just keeps discontenting over and over it sees it for a few seconds then disconnects reconnects then off again.

Mine doesn't reconnect, it 'disconnects' and stays that way(as if i unplugged it) until i actually do unplug it and reconnect it.

I was having the same problem on my MacBook until I realized the MacBook must be plugged into power. Once plugged in everything was good. I wonder if the Evo demands more power through USB then other devices.
Yeah, sounds like a power issue to me. If you're using a USB port on a hub or on a keyboard, try one on the PC itself. Also, it could be a slow USB port or a bad cable if you are continuing to have issues. Try another computer if you can, and if you still have the problem try a different cable. Still have the issue, reflash (if you're running a custom rom) or contact Sprint for service.
Same issue here, but on a desktop PC (Dell Studio XPS) using the front-mounted USB port (not a hub). Keeps disconnecting/reconnecting, but often takes 10-15 minutes between cycles. Using stock ROM (for now, at least). Will try other ports & another PC and will report back.
Already tried different ports, only motherboard ports
Rom doesn't matter as the problem exists in both android and recovery
Don't have a different cable, however the same cable will work fine on my laptop then not work on my desktop

If it works on a laptop, but not the desktop, then it appears to be an issue with your desktop. Any other USB devices doing it?
I would check your motherboards manufacturer and make sure you've got the right USB drivers, a bios update might be in order as well.
But before all that, I've got an idea. First and foremost, try this:
Go to device manage (either from control panel, right-clicking my computer and going to properties, or searching for devmgmt.msc in the start menu search.)
Navigate down to Universal Serial Bus controllers, double click on USB Root Hub (you probably have 1 for every USB Port, so you may have to do them all.)
Click on the Power Management tab, and uncheck the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." check box and see if that solves your problem.
i had this issue on my hero. it was corrected for me after i did a wipe of data and cache. i restored from titanium afterwards. YMMV
good luck
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.
I do not take credit for this fix, someone else on here told me to try this n it worked perfectly.

it was nothing with the rom, since it was doing the same thing in recovery.
it turned out to be the short little usb extender cable that was going a foot and ahalf from behind my pc to the side so i could plug it in easier.

I can confirm this works on my HTC Desire - had been racking up my brains for the past couple of days now with no solution! Thanks a lot. This is on PC with Win7 Ultimate.
Spent a little time trying to figure this out but it's so random it's hard to tell what is exactly happening.
Basically when plugging in my evo everything acts normal, I get the prompt, power light comes on, and sd card folder auto runs. I can connect and move files as I wish.
The issue is it disconnects at random times, some times during file transfers, other times it's just charging. Screen on, Screen off, etc etc, it doesn't seem to matter. The odd thing is it actually stops charging also. Doesn't matter what setting i have for the evo to connect, and I have defualted it to charge only and it does the same thing.
I've checked all my evo settings, deleted driver, let evo reconnect. I've tried it on the laptop I have and it seems to work just fine, no disconnects so far.
It has to be the pc.(Windows 7). But where to start?
Anybody have any ideas?
I think this might be a problem with your micro usb cable/port. I've gone through a few cables, all of which got their pins flattened so it couldn't hold a steady connection. I ended up melting the grooves together so the pins couldn't be flattened

you are correct sir, thanks.
I was using the front usbs, i'm assuming either the wire connecting them was not enough to handle the charge current or their is something faulty with them. I' would go with the first because everything else works on those ports besides the evo.
I used the back ports and everything is dandy.
Whenever I plug my phone into my computer now all it does it show the little charging light in the top left corner of the EVO, and not the notification asking to turn on usb storage in the pull down menu, or give any errors, and nothing pops up on the computer.
Recently, I started to have usb problems where the notification on the phone was flashing on and off and the usb connected sound on the computer kept going off (like the phone was connecting and disconnecting to the usb port on the computer every second), but I thought this was a cable problem and since I didn't need usb at that moment, I brushed it off.
I'm pretty sure my phone still charges fine because the light goes on. No, It isn't a problem with the cables or the computers because i've tried multiple cables and computers. I don't understand what the problem is because my charging still works fine and I don't get error messages, it's just that usb won't connect at all anymore

If that doesn't work, you may have a hardware defect, and it'd be best to unroot and take it to sprint.

Hi Guys/Gals
ive done a bit of searching and have tried everything i could think of but still no DL mode, and cant mount USB
I started having a problem with my mic ... thought it might be the ROM so i wiped dalvik, problem was still there. Then did a factory reset, problem still there
Thought i would try a different ROM, but when i went to plug my USB in, my PC would promt me with a USB device not recognized window. I tried mounting USB via USB utilities - No Go. Tried with debugging mode off, still no go.
I have reinstalled the USB drivers, still no go.
The phone also turns on when plugged into wall power, or will not stay shut down ... hrmmm
Im curious if the mic and USB issues are related and it is a hardware malfunction.
Any tips, help, or advice would be GREATLY appreciated right about now.
Thanks XDA!
Welp ... got DL mode on my work PC. Will try to get back to factory and see if that resolves the USB and Mic issues.
Pretty weird considering I tried it a few million times.
Scratch that. Got DL mode, once, can no longer. Wtf is going on.
Holding volume+/- and inserting USB cable. Am I doing something wrong? Its sending me straight to CWM recovery everytime.
Tried to do a restore from a point but got an MD5 sum mismatch

so hold the vol up + down then plug phone
Tried everything.
Not a newb when it comes to getting to DL mode if the phone is opperating normally. (obviously if ive come from CM7, and ICS as an original vibrant owner, and was running a rooted SGS2)
Went ahead and ordered a new phone. Am going to spend the couple bucks on the DL mode USB plug, might be able to save something from the old phone.
Im pretty sure something happened to the phone that affected the ports on the USB and MIC at the same time. But we'll see once i try the plug ...

wait have one last idea
if you have adb set up type in adb reboot download
Okay before yall rage at me, I already search XDA+Google. I think I found some answers to it, but there seems to be some confusion about my problem...So I wanna ask you guys DHD/I4G users.
My problem is that when I connect my phone to the computer, my phone doesnt detect USB anymore. this happened way back before, but somehow it worked again.
I have 3 new different USB Data Cables. I tried all three of them to see if it was my MAIN USB Cable Data that was broken. It wasnt.
I tried connecting it to 2 other computers in my house and still no luck.
So when I was searching, people said that this problem can be from...
-hardware problem(broken) (but i dont think its broken cause my phone is still able to charge.)
-rom with bad download.
And there were some suggestions to what I should do...
-super wipe your phone and re-install a new rom
-take the micro sd put it in your computer format the SD card.
-take battery out for 30 seconds then put it back in.
-return to stock
-reinstall HTC drivers
however all those methods did not work at all.
The thing is my phone still charges on whatever USB or Computer I plug it into.
Also, this problem happened to me awhile back but somehow it was fixed..IDK how I did it.
Also sometimes, my computer detects it, but it says "something has malfunctioned).
my phone has never got in contact with any form of liquid. but what i think has touched my phone is heat or sweat from my pants.
Edit: also, I never dropped my phone before.
Is this a hardware problem? because as I said it before this happened to be awhile back but I was able to get USB detected to my computer again.
Can anyone give me more methods/information on how or what I should do to fix it?
Phone details
- Device: Inspire 4g
- Rom: Aospx BR7
- default Ril from the rom
- radio : in my signature
- phone about 1 and half years old
It seems you have already ruled out software and cable/computer issues. It is possible for a device to have intermittent failure. Sounds like a bad sd reader. Charger runs seperate from that.
Could also be the PC hardware. What PC OS are you using?

ummmm all I did was just blow on it(sounds wrong, LOL).
oh yeah and also, i always hear that sound when you connect any USB into the computer. that beeping noise. but only when I reboot my phone.
I could always transfer files by using the Micro SD Adapter, but thats too much work. taking my phone case out, taking out the bottom part, taking out usb, putting it in the adapater, then in the computer....-_-
update.
I kind of found a solution?? if i can take any step further...
So I changed my rom to a sense 4 rom(virtuous). I disabled Fast Boot from there. Now my computer detects my phone but it gives me the notification saying that my device cant be recognized.
U can use software data cable app its free .. and u can nove data between phone n pc wirelessly as long as you are in the same network ...
