*Solved* Won't connect to pc.

Hey, well i've had my evo for awhile now, up until about a month ago, it would connect to the computer with no problem. Now when i plug it up it just charges, the usb icon doesn't pop up in the corner. In the settings connect to pc, Ask me is check and default is disk drive, and i've tryed charge only as well. I have no clue why it stopped connecting to the computer and just charges. Any suggestions or thoughts?

Sounds like a driver issue.
Uninstall them and reinstall them.

Will try, thanked anyway.

It's very likely considering that the port obviously works.

Yeah, I agree. I just have one problem I don't wanna see like a little 10 year old annoying kid. But I just got into the rooting community and such. My phone is unrooted at the moment so do you have any idea where I could get these drivers?

Damn 10 year olds!
lol only kidding.
http://www6.sprint.com/downloads/htc/executables/htcsync2.0.35.exe should work.
More updated ones would be here:

Thanks again.
Edit: Even being hooked up to HTC Sync it won't recognize it's hooked up to a computer. Just charging i've tried multiple computers as well. I plug it up put default on HTC Sync and HTC Sync still says, connect device.. so frustrating.

WiFi file explorer won't fix your problem but will let you transfer files back and forth over WiFi. My Ian port has been messed up for awhile this has been my fix.
Swyped from my Orange Peeled Synergist EVO

I have been experiencing this very issue for almost a month now. Hard, reset, reinstalled drivers, done it all but to no avail. (wife's Evo connects with ease; Win7 sp1)
Been thinking that the usb por is broken - but I can still charge. I can adb and transfer over wi-fi. Only thing wish I could do wirelessly was qpst.
Anyway, I am happy just as long as I can charge the evo. If that changes, then I will get a repair done for $40.
Hope this really isn't the case.

Most likely is a busted usb port, same thing happened to one of the evo's I worked with. Charging fine but will not get discovered by any computers(tried multiple computers with multiple usb cables), but when pushing the cable into the port all my force windows recognized the phone but gave an error for "unknown device", had to actually get another usb port and repair it myself (better than paying $100), drivers definitely not the case here

Thanks everyone! Just gonna go pay 100$ for a new one. I was really wanting to root so if I can't without it being hooked to a computer might as well get a new one.

Why would you pay $100?
If you pay the $8 take it to the Sprint store and they'll look at it.
The $100 is for physical/water damage or lost/stolen phone.

Reboot your phone and go to running services and make sure calendar sync is still running. I don't know why but if you stop that from running it won't connect to your P.C.

I have something running called calendar, but can't find calendar sync? Same thing or?

They probably start with a refurb, and if none are in stock, they'll order you a new one.

What should i do?

So I've been having my epic unrooted for a while now.......when I first paid 100 dollars to get it fixed.....I tried rooting it but it would not work.....and it ended up bricking my epic.....I got a new one for free since the screen turned black and did not show signs of tampering(luckily) and now I want my ics set up I had before...what should I do? I don't want to brick It again....

Couple days depending on how long it takes to get to me... once I've rooted it you can tell me what you want on it and ill flash it for you and send it back.

do you think it could be the computers or the phone? the same two computers that wouldnt read my old epic arent reading these two.....the first computer i used to root my very first epic worked like a charm but im not understanding why it didnt work on these last two.....

Not sure could be the drivers if you have any other mobile drivers unistall them and only install the drivers found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
Also could be you need a new cable or need to use a different usb port if you haven't tried that. Clean the usb ports on the pc and the epic. There are some variables that can cause it not to detect.

The computer makes all the difference in the world, believe it or not. I thought I had bricked my phone on one computer then successfully odined it on another using the same exact files I used on the first one, copied files over through my home network from one comp to the other not new downloads, and the same USB cable. Worked like a charm like it always does on that computer.

i'm looking for a different sort of tethering

I'm in a hotel with WiFi which I've paid for. The problem is I want to use all my WiFi toys and to do this I will need to pay 50 per toy (4 toys it could get quite expensive)...
So what I want to do is log in to the wifi with my s3 then tether all my toys to the s3....
I've looked for a tethering apps but no luck
Does any one have any ideas how I can do this...
Thanks

do you have a laptop with wifi? yours toys have wifi ?
if so use a progam callded connefity hotspot in the laptop!
You connect the laptop to the hotel wifi and then confirure the program to create a hotspot for yours toys.

Its connectify hotspot.... error corrected ..

it does work on certain laptops with only one network card, not all models though, it works on my gf's HP but not on my Toshiba.
although I highly don't recommend it, it messes with your network card drivers and I once had to format a laptop after installing it, and I work in IT so I know what I'm doing

[Q] Can't connect to PC :S

I just bought a LGOG from a friend and just noticed that it's impossible for my win8 laptop to recognize the device... I tried using my wife's ol' Win7 powered netbook without luck.
As anyone been through this and found a solution for this issue? I've tried all the versions available and none of them work. I'm running an AMD powered 64 bit Win8 laptop (my wife's netbook runs on an Intel processor.)
Thanks in advance for the help.

This happened to me on my first lgog. Turned out it was a broken pin. Best thing to do now, if you have insurance, is to get it replaced. I know you probably don't want to hear this but trust me I know how you feel.

I don't think you can root your device with a jig, but the jig can help you if you mess up trying to do something to your device. But as far as rooting it, you might need to use ODIN.

There is a method to root by using terminal emulator and some files.

Nah they said that after they install the part,, before, they told me the price and that they can fix it. So $60 + $150 = $210 ouch!! thats what i was afraid of im willing to sell it or exchange it for another one with someone but anyway i still have hope on a dev to make this happend for the i747 there is a lot of devices that can root without a computer
