USB tethering - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
I need a help.
At the moment, i can't use my phone as USB tethering, for sharing my mobile network with my PC.
Before, with the official HTC ROM I had no problem.
Since some ROMS after, it doesn't works anymore..
Now, I have the Runnymede AIO v5.0.1 one, and with previous version of this ROM, it doesn't works too.
When I plugg in my phone to the USB with my PC, I select the USB tethering option in the connection type.
A few second after, the phone ask me to select again the connection type.
May be because it can't use the USB tethering option.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

When the phone ask you to select again the connection type(Internet Pass Through) tap again the connection and then Done. You will see in the notification area twq litle arrows whjch indicates to you that you have the desired connection. Don't forget to uninstall and the install the updated HTC Sync with appropriate drivers.
That's all!

Yap HTC sync need to install. if the problem remains, go to setting and tick the USB tethering as its default.That should do the trick.

If u are not in a sense rom, u should install the drivers for ur HTC phone to identify ur PC OS. Unless USB tethering will not work. Only if u are using Ubuntu, this OS automatically connect u to internet through ur phone.

Ok, thank you for yours help.
I will try this as soon as possible !! (When i find the micro USB cable >_< )

[Q] cannot change connect to pc connection/connection default as charging

i had notice there is alot similar post to this problem but none really solved it. so i start this thread to make it more specific
1) once connected to pc, my wildfire automatically charge
2) no pop-up or option on the top to slide down to select either htc sync, mount as sd card, etc
3) tried reboot, mount unmount card, untick usd debugging, changed other rom, but still not working.
4) if connected to pc still automatically charging even if i change "default connection type" to disk drive, or usb tethering
5) i tick "ask me" so i can choose the connection type when connect to pc, but when connected to pc, nothing. just charging.
i'm rooted, using hg hybrid v3 (problem was there before i flash HG rom). it used to work before. i dont recalled when was the last time it start to behave like this. all this time i thought i set the connection default to charging, but when i want to transfer songs, only then i realised this problem. i m not sure which custom rom might cause this problem (if it does) because i had flash more than 10 roms
i have same problem with cm7
I haven't try to format my sd card. because when I connect without sd card, still no connect option. if my card is malfunction/the main problem, then my phone should work fine n show the connect option after I remove the card, right? (I do have connection option on the setting. what I meant no connection option is the pop up conection menu+connection option on the top bar. changing the connection on the setting change nothing)
I too have this prob but never questioned this as i never use htc sync. But if u really wanna use it try this i'm not sure it may work or not but mostly its due to driver problem:
1.Connect your device in htc sync mode.
2.Uninstall or Remove all drivers of htc and also htc sync.
3.Disconnect your device and Restart your pc.
4.Reinstall htc sync and connect your device in htc sync mode.
5.It'll install fresh drivers for your device and if asked to restart then do it else run htc sync.
If you are running vista or later try to run htc sync in administrator mode.
I'm not sure this method work but there's no problem on trying it. Reply your result after doin above steps
I also think the problem might related to my driver but I remember that when I first connect to my pc, there will be pop up menu, and my phone automatically recognized as "disk drive" (I m not install HTC driver yet. infact ,I install the driver after my phone connected to my pc through disk drive connection since the driver located on the SD card). nway, I"ll try your method and post the result later.
I just notice this might not work..the problem is I cannot change the connection. even if I did, it doesn't change the connection. it just charging.. as if I put it on default "charging" as it connect. but I will try later anyway
When i connect my phone the debugging icon shows up and my pc makes the noise but doesnt let me choose mass storage (running cm7). it shows up on my pc on drive f: but when i click it just says please insert a disc into removable storage F:
xynok, did u tried untick the usb debugging? go to setting, application, development, untick usb debugging. u still lucky at least it prompt u something if u connect to pc, mine nothing. its like I plug it to the socket wall not pc

not working..
try this if u r using sense roms . Also try this for AOSP roms, if there is an option(i dont know about AOSP).
Go to Settings/Applications/Manage applications/All/
Then search for "Connect to PC". Actually in stock roms that was an app by htc. But there must be something similar to that in AOSP roms. Then open that and select, "Force stop" , "Clear data", "Clear cache".
I dont know for sure if that solves the issue or not. But have a try.
And by seeing this thread, actually i got a doubt, "can we synchronise the htc sync in AOSP custom roms". Since AOSP is nothing but removing the HTC crap. Can someone confirm this .......

nope. still nothing. anyway since it had this problem, I had wipe my wildfire few times, n try different rom.. maybe it is because of faulty cable. but if the cable is the culprit, why it still charging? is it possible the cable is broken but still can charging?

Not telling that it should be, but definitely there is a possibility of a cable culprit.
The USB male/female end has 4 connections in which two connections are used for voltage and the remaining two connections are used for data transfer.
There might be a possibility that the data connection got broken with voltage connection retaining. Try with another cable (any USB v2 cable).
And one more thing, for having the disk drive option, nothing need to be installed in the pc. U need to install htc driver in the pc only if u want to use usb debugging , usb tethering.
[But at the wildfire end the cable has 5 connections and i dont know what the 5th one is for. mostly it will be a NO CONNECTION]
Now i got another idea to diagnose ur issue.
Well do u know of application "pdanet". It uses USB DEBUGGING feature to tether ur phone internet to PC. Actually usb debugging can be used both under charge mode and disk drive mode. What u can know on doing this is whether usb debugging through ur phone is working or not. U can diagnose the thing while checking with every app that uses usb debugging. So try it. Enable the usb debugging in phone first.
---Install pdanet desktop version and follow the setup instructions. It asks to connect ur phone during setup to install usb driver and also pdanet.apk to mobile. Connect ur phone with usb debugging enabled. I doubt whether desktop version installs or not because of ur issue. Mostly desktop version of pdanet will not install without a phone connected having usb debugging enabled. And if the desktop version is installed successfully, that means ur phone usb debugging is working. And if desktop version is installed successfully, that means it also installed the mobile version of pdanet.apk to ur phone (which says that data transfer is working). Then open the pdanet on phone and enable usb tether. Then open pdanet from desktop and connect. Then see whether u r able to access internet from pc.
---One more method is try to use ADB from android sdk. It also uses the usb debugging feature.
If adb and pdanet works, that means usb debugging feature on ur phone is working. If it is so, then it is mostly not a cable problem (as far as i know). And if they dont work there is a chance that it is a cable problem.
......................................................................................................................................................................................
And one more thing. If u have used a stock rom (freshly formatted), and faced the issue, then it is mostly not a software problem. Then it might be cable problem or some kind of problem in ur phone. Also check ur phone radio version. Thats all.
bharatgaddameedi, i cant install pdanet. it say android phone not detected. error =103. i think u were right. its hardware related problem but its look like not the cable. most probably its my wildfire usb jack. i test the cable with other mobile, its working (test it on nokia 5800). before i had this problem, sometime i use htc cable to transfer data for my 5800, and some time i used 5800 cable to transfer data for my wildfire. the difference between the two cable pin might damage my wildfire usb jack.. (u said htc cable got 5 pin, so i asume nokia got 4?)

So, pdanet not detecting the phone means usb debugging is also not working under charge mode. That should be phone hardware related problem like u have said about usb jack.
And No. All the micro USB version 2 cables will be the same. Its same for 5800 and wildfire. I use my previous 5233 cable to my wildfire even now.
The usb jack of wildfire may damage if u have used it in an improper way. Something like pressure on the cable when connected and so on...
So, its not something we can solve here. That should be given to service centre as far as i know

Can't be. I am using my N82's data cable for data transfers on my Wildfire from Day 1. The provided data cable is pretty much permanently attached to the wall charger.
I accept the fact that it might be hardware problem but there is one more thing I want to try. how about flashing stock rom from pc? flashing 2.1 is ok since it can be rooted again. I had flash stock rom but from the clockwork mod, not from pc, and the hboot is been remove for save flashing. I never try this before because all this time I thought that the problem was cause by custom rom, so I just need to find the right custom Rom.
How can u flash a stock Rom from pc when the usb is not functioning. RUU will not work.
Things get worse when basic things stop functioning.

[Q] Computer dosn't recognize my device

Hello everyone,
I have a device problem, I can not connect it to the computer,
Every time I connect it to the computer it shows me just charging and nothing else and the computer fails to detect it,
I did a test with three different computers and other cable and I downloaded the HTC sync manager and still no change,
I made several attempts, each time under a different default (disk storage, htc sync manager) and still the same situation.
Has anyone already had this problem?
I would like if someone who has the device can check it for me and tell me on which settings his phone is connected, tnx.
anyone?
Open up Device Manager (Start > type in the search bar "Device Manager" > hit enter) and if you have a HTC symbol with a yellow warning icon that means your drivers are not correctly installed.
If you see nothing HTC/android related at all, it seems you either have a dodgy USB cable or a defective device.
Already tried that, i guess that my device is defective

If it's happening on multiple computers I'd say so I'm afraid
i bought my htc one x just today and i want to use htc sync manager, but i failed to connect my device with pc for sync. The htc sync manager window cant see any device! knowing that i am able to use file transfer but not the sync! how can i fix that? is it me who is doing something wrong or the device is not working properly!?
sometimes, disabling firewall and antivirus for a few minutes, before plugging the phone, may help. (I had this problem with Vista)
I have same issue actually. It just does not ask how to connect the device anymore and is just charging. I have to go to status bar and select HD so pc detects it.
I can't connect to my ps3 but its fine with my laptop.any ideas?

[Q] T989D won't connect to PC

I just got a S2X from a friend who recently upgraded to a Nexus 5. I already have a Nexus 7 (2013), but I want to play around with rooting and ROM's on this S2X. For me, it's a chance to play with a device that doesn't really mater a whole lot. But anyway, when I connect the phone to my PC, it will charge but do absolutely nothing else. Doesn't show up in Devices, not in Explorer, nothing. I tried installing Kies and the USB drivers for the S2, but nothing has worked. Any ideas?
Install kies and it will install the proper drivers. If you use Odin later to flash recovery and ROOT, make sure to end all processes of kies first. Or Odin will fail. ?
I did install Kies. The phone doesn't even show up as an unknown device under devices. I can connect over wifi
Try a different cable, different USB port or a different pc.
---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------
You need to sort this out so you can use Odin. Otherwise you won't be able to do anything.
Try a different MicroUSB Cable, Different Usb port and or Check and download the right drivers for SG2.
SG2 Drivers can be found here; http://androidxda.com/download-samsung-usb-drivers
Download and install.
Re-start.
Try again.
If still not working, turn on usb debugging and then disconnect and re-connect to PC Make sure USB DEBUGGING IS ON..

[Q] Mobizen

Does anyone make this sw working on our LG G4(H815-international version)? Although I'm rooted, ADB debugging allowed...no luck. I tryied even mobizen's "booster mode". Did anyone managed to make it working? Great sw though-I use it with SG4.
I'm not rooted. I can get USB to connect (after I install the LG drivers) but it won't let me control the screen. Only lets me control screen on WIFI.
---------- Post added at 12:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------
Ok so i got it working.. Be sure to install the WIFI Install that Mobizen asks you to during setup if you didn't install it you can un/reinstall Mobizen and it will prompt you again, or you can download the LG Plugin v1.0 form the Play Store - search for Rsupport and look for LG Plugin v1.0. The thing that you probably are not doing is installing the actual LG drivers (at least that's what I was not doing). When you connect your phone and it has the notification to tap for more usb options. clikc that and a popup should come up asking you to Install PC drivers.... Click install and your phone will make the Windows disconnect sound and after a moment, and it will install a CD drive on your computer go to that CD drive and run the program called LG PC Programs. After that it should install drivers and you should be good to use Mobizen thru USB. Let me know if you have any problems.. i wrote this up on a quick break from work so it may not make sense.
somehow miraclously I managed to make it working w/o reboot. I had to close both apps(PC & Android), then I run Andr. app, "turned on booster"(although no notif. that booster mode is enabled appeared), then run PC app and at very end connected thru cable. And it worked (I tryied several times)
