[Q] USB stopped working :S - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I connect it,all I see is the USB debugging icon. Any help please? I'd really hate mounting/unmounting all the time.

I believe I had this problem when I removed the Setup Wizard from my phone and it also killed my Home button.

I've frozen some apps via TB but I'm sure those weren't the problems.
I've deleted Setup Wizard a while ago and my phone was working fine.

Yeah, I've been doing some heavy ROM cooking and reflashing and my USB problem was definitely caused by removing Setup Wizard and I think Crash Handler/Crash Reporter, something along those lines. I put them back, reflashed and it was fine.

Thanks for the help. Guess I have to mount until I flash a new FW.

Sorry, it's CrashMonitor and Setup Wizard. I think there's a link somewhere here in the forums for all the default APKs for just this kind of occasion, so you won't have to reflash.

Hmm,I remember messing with an MTP in TB ...
Yeah,I don't have an MTP app in apps/TB. If this works I love you

and it WORKS! Thank you so much.

Im also having this problem. It worked and now when I connect to USB it fails to install driver.. what am I missing? Is it this MTB app. I'm not technically proficient so any links would be appreciated.
Edit - Just checked phone and i have an MTPapp when i look for apps to freeze or backup. It's installed and everything but the USB still doesn't connect. It just goes to install a driver and then fails.

My pleasure.

I think I mess up my mtpAPP too before, tried to install a new one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036249 but I think it doesn't work..
my question is, is the mtpAPP there the same with mtpApp for 2.3.3 (4.0.a.2.368)?

I ran the Microsoft .MSI to install, using my desktop computer. Did you reset before or after installation, and how, just popping out your battery?
I could never get the msi file to work either. Found a cab of it and it installed just fine. Try the one found here (http://mobile.surrealnetworks.com/DashApps.htm).

Thanks, but damn. Same crash message with the cab.
I had this issue and eventually narrowed it down to some software I had previously installed, but I couldn't find out what software it was. I hard reset my phone and .NET CF was the first thing I installed and I haven't had a problem since.

app updates - downloads not starting anymore

I didn't update my apps for about 2 weeks since I was more or less in a permanent network trouble. When I now try to update my apps, it's always said, the downloas are about to start, but they never do...
I am running froyo 2.2 and app 2 sd - no idea what's wront here...
hope somebody could help me out!
thx
Very occasionally my downloads stall and to fix it I generally:
1. Cancel all downloads
2. Check that I'm logged into Talk
3. Start the downloads again
This usually fixes it for me.
Regards,
Dave
I also had this from time to time and usually after a reboot it worked, but this time it already persists a while and the updates are getting more n more.I also thought that I started too many at once. But also a single one won't start...
By talk you mean gtalk? Why is that?
Thx
Essentially (and rather simplistically!), for many services, the OS uses the GTalk protocol to communicate with the device.
Regards,
Dave
Didn't know that. How do I check? if I click in the freak icon after a second I'm back on the desktop with that icon. Does that mean I was logged in?
Me too...I'm having problems to update my applications and when I click on Google Talk the application makes me return to Home
Any problems with Google servers???
Thanks
GTalk is working fine for me, so I suggest posting a logcat for the period when you attempt to sign into GTalk.
Regards,
Dave
I assume a logcat is a certain type of logfile? How do I generate this?
thx
If you have ADB setup on your PC, you can simply connect your phone via USB and type ADB LOGCAT in a command window (you need to have USB Debugging switched on). If you don't have that, you can download an app (e.g. aLogCat).

Dave

no, haven't installed this. Is it also necessary to install it on the phone or just on the computer?
installing on the phone would be quite cynical

Yes.
There's nothing to install on the phone, you just need to enable USB Debugging from the Development menu.

Right, i experienced exactly the same problem shortly after doing update to 2.2. I've read somewhere (if i find a link, i'll post it here) that update from 2.1 to 2.2 doesn't carry personal data and settings transfer very well.
Tryed restore to no luck.
My fix.
1.Format memory card first.
2. factory restore
3. format memory card again (in case it managed to back up my settings after 1st format and before restore)
4. factory restore (in case back up happend and it managed to restore my settings)
5. sign in to google ******@GOOGLEMAIL.com , even though my e-mail IS @gmail.com and it shows @gmail.com on the phone.
No problem since
Hope no 3 and 4 make sense to you.
Hope that helps.
There you go

As you can see i simplified procedure a lot.
still trying to figure with the ADB.
I am stuck with the USB drivers - can't find them in the download package as described
Finally, you need to install the USB drivers. Again, the instructions are present in the SDK guide as well, but here’s how you can do it. Please note that my device was a Samsung GT-i5700 Galaxy Lite, and since I had Samsung drivers already installed, this didn’t happen to me. The procedure I am describing here is theoretical and taken from the SDK manual.
The drivers for both x86 and x64 systems are present in the SDK, under <sdk>\usb_driver\x86 and <sdk>\usb_driver\x64, respectively.

I'm really in need for help - more and more apps are getting out of date and I can't update them! I just don't know where to find those mentioned USB drivers!

I appreciate your help - but I'd really loive to check within the logfiles what's exactely wrong, dause that could trace the root and help others instead of just starting all over.
I'm just surprised that there's little response out here...

Connect to pc

Hi. My "Connect to PC" wouldnt work. As a result, i cannot mount to Disk Drive etc. Any idea what is going on? I cannot even open Connect to PC in Setting too. =(
Do you have the latest HTC Sync 3.0.5481 installed?
Could try different usb port, or
Uninstall / reboot pc / reinstall HTC Sync.
Edit: Don't forget Uninstall HTC driver if uninstalling HTC sync doesn't do it.

Hi UpInTheAir
Thanks for replying. How do I get that latest HTC Sync apk file?
It's not apk. It's software and driver you have to load on the pc. Google it. DL and install. Let me know how you get on. Make sure don't connect the phone to pc in disk drive mode until software and drivers fully installed. It will tell you during installation, or you may have to reboot pc first.

Maybe not. O did check for update from the HTC Sync itself, but said up to date.
Just double check its actually for HTC DHD, not something else.
I will manually check later. Thanks for letting Me know.

Hey guys. Thanks for all the replies. Erm.. I did actually installed HTC Sync in my PC already but unable to get the notification on whether to Charge Only or etc.
But now the problem has been resolved. Ok, let me explain what has happened.
I noticed that some or probably all of my Sense apps such as Music and Gallery are always going into a Force Close mode.(I have no idea why. Past few days it is running smoothly and no issues. But this issue suddenly arise)
All other market apps are still working well.
Because of Sense apps unable to function properly, I decided to reboot my device and see whether it works or not. After rebooting, the Sense apps work well back again. I've just tried to connect to PC and yes it does work again.
So i guess the issue here is not about HTC Sync but.. ROM issue? But seriously I do not think its the ROM problem that causes Force Closes on Sense apps. Probably is my device. =( Or maybe certain apps are not properly installed and hence causing "interruption" with those Sense apps.

If it happen a any more [the force closes].
Try booting to Recovery> Advance> Fix Permissions, or used Rom Manager> Fix Permissions.

HELP! USB no longer works! Broke my phone!

I have an Xperia Arc S with rooted Sony ICS on it.
Please help! I can no longer get USB to work. I uninstalled some apps in Titanium Backup without backing up first (idiot) and I then installed a custom SystemUI.apk (bigger idiot). I rebooted and no longer have the bar at the top of the screen. If I connect the USB cable nothing happens! I want to do a repair but can't get Windows to see it!
EDIT: I plugged it into my laptop and it's detected and installed PC Companion. I am trying a repair right now. Hopefully it should be OK. :/

See you are nearly there with repair of the phone. As a way of testing if USB is working can you charge it via plug socket if yes then USB is not broken, just a bad driver on pc.

Download FlashTool and the firmware you want to flash and flash it.
Also I recommend you to use my tutorial + list on how to remove junk apps to keep your phone 100% working
Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk
Thanks guys. I already followed that list before the mishap. Not sure if it was anything on that list that caused it. I think it was defo the systemUI.apk change. I was trying to get the facy taskbar with the enable/disable buttons on the Arc S (the APK is for the Arc which may be why it b0rked). I don't know why Windows on this PC decided not to recognise it but after a reboot it now detects it fine (But I have just repaired it and reinstalled all my apps + root).
I need to get CWM on it really (I'm a bit scaredy cat to hack the bootloader) so I can just do flashes from SD card. I think I will leave well enough alone for now though.
The apps I have backed up and uninstalled are Let's Golf. OfficeSuite. FUN&Downloads. Update Center. Wisepilot. Video Unlimited and Music Unlimited.
Are all of these safe to remove? I can do a restore if needed.
The other things running in the background that are bugging me are Custom settings. SecureClockService (what are these?) and CrashMonitor (Is it really OK to kill that?). Plus of course SIM service and Google services which I take it I need.
Maybe I should take this to that thread you pointed out to me.
Uninstall all those apks
Theres a list of all apps which you can remove
Check general forums
me too
hey guys,
I just removed some preinstalled crap on my LG Optimus One e.g Tetris, Twitter etc but now i can't connect via usb to my computer. It charges fine.
How can i fix this?
thanks

[Q] Apps force close automatically when input is required

Basically everything crashes for me whenever I need to type (and the keyboard is supposed to auto-pop up). Everything except for typing on a page in the browser or text messages. I can't connect to WiFi. I recently did a factory reset on my phone for exactly that reason and it DIDN'T help and now I'm stuck without being able to connect to my Gmail account (because everything crashes) and I can literally use my phone just for calls and texts. I tried everything there is to try, or at least everything I've read on the internet.
First off, I'm a noob when it comes to using XDA and adb shell and all that stuff, I just learned about it today and decided to try it in order to fix my phone so I ran the adb shell and everything and typed the commands from an instruction I saw on your forum, but those were the ones to clear clipboard cache on a samsung phone and thus fix the keyboard crashing problem that one of the members had. That didn't work for me, I rooted my phone before that, of course, but there is no clipboard file on the Arc S (at least from what I've seen). I tried clearing cache of the keyboard apps, disabling all kinds of stuff, resetting my phone, pulling my SD stick out (because it might be in conflict with an app that I have installed on it) and it STILL doesn't work. Please. I am desperate.
