computer wont see my EVO

i plug my phone into one of the usb ports on my desktop n it sees it for one second then go away. ive tried all the usb ports and get the same results. my computer at work sees the phone with no problem. n my comp sees my iphone with no problem along with anything else i plug into it. i am on Windows XP, what could be the problem??

Try installing HTC Sync drivers.

Yes what Jykinturah said. After that i would get options on how i wanted it connected to my pc. i.e. charge only, Hard disk , etc.

ive done that already, nothing works, maybe i need the drivers n my comp wont download them upon connecting the phone

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.

goto settings ->applications->managed applications
find HTC Sense and click on it, then hit the "clear defaults" button and now hit the home key. it'll offer you the choice of sense or Launcher. pick launcher and once that loads up go ahead restart the phone to clear any remnants of sense.

try selecting the mount as disk drive option hen you connect it to the computer. It should show up then under one of the disk drives.

yea ur tellin me, i would have never thought of that lol

ok so after i updated my phone today, im right back to where i started, this is so frustrating

Try rebooting into recovery and see if it works. If it doesn't its anything, if it does try backing up and using a fresh rom.
Mine was fixed by removing the short usb extender cable.

[Q] help!!!

evo 4g not rooted
just did an ota update this morning. Now my phone wont load. goes to white htc screen, loading .then says "the app htc sense (process.com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again." I took it to the sprint store and first thing out of his mouth was you'll have to do a master rest. If that's what i have to do then fine, but it sounded like such a generic answer. he didn't even check the phone out. i really dont wont to lose all my info. Any suggestions?

Since you're unrooted, that's really your only choice.

Just for fun, can you search? If you can pull up the search function then try loading the market to get a third-party launcher, or settings to clear our your launcher data. While I'm not on Sense, clearing launcher data solves my problems when it decides to misbehave. (you will lose your layout unfortunately)

[Q] htc locations automatically starting up

I'm experiencing a very annoying what seems common problem.
Where HTC locations loads itself automatically at random intervals.
I have looked all over the site for a fix but unable to find it.
Tried deleting the navigation folder from .data. cleaning usb socket. Resetting phone. Clearing all caches etc
I have also installed an app called "skip HTC locations" but hasn't and isn't doing a thing. Also notice its happening more and more when pluggging in my charger
But its still happening. And assistance is greatly appreciated

You tried to uninstall it?
Can be uninstalled from /System/App, Remember to do a backup before removing anything.

Its not a rooted phone so unable to uninstall i think ?

in applications i have both "locations" and "locations launcher"
only thing i can do is clear cache which i have done and on "locations" i can "uninstall updates" which i have also tried and problem is still there,
Just that when i have removed the updates, it still automatically starts up "htc locations" randomly and then asks me to download files.

Hmm yea It's not much to do when you are not rooted I think. =\

The locations app has now stopped launching. But when I make a call loudspeaker is automatically activated at the start of the call so seems like usb socket is shorting somewhere thinking its in dock mode still?

Yes that could be the problem =\

Same problem here, did you manage to fix it?

I had the same problem yesterday. I really went mad! It started locations like 5-6 times and wanted to download some update and maps, I just couldn't get rid of it! Then I downloaded something and it prompted me to download (actualy purchase) individual maps and I rejected and then all of a sudden it stopped. The phone was NOT in the charger. No new popups since.

Still doing it to me, whether in charger or out. Posted a thread about it which is down the page but no replies!!!

I have found a "fix" for the issue.
I could not root my phone for some reason, so normal uninstall of locations wasn't an option for me.
I cannot exactly tell the steps I have done, cause I tried several things at a time and I don't know which one worked, but the main thing was:
- I made a factory reset, which did not change much appart from that I could plug in the phone to PC and see it as a drive.
- I removed some files related to locations from SD card
- In one of the menus related to application managment I had an option to reinstall locations
- I clicked on it
- AND I removed the battery in the middle of installation
- After turning on "Locations" were asking about making an install once again, but I chose an option "go to hell" and voila, no more hate against your own phone.
FIX by destruction

3G/Data connection hung up

I always have to reboot or turn to airplane mode to get it responsive again.
Its annoying cuz first, yay I can browse happily and fast, but after a few page, the data icon will stuck(arrow up and down wont change, stayed on white colors), which made every connection error.
Rooted/Unlocked/Custom rom/Custom kernel. Tried every baseband available but same trouble.
Is it related to faulty sim card? or is it my network is the problem? tried other carrier and worked fine though.
and fyi, AOSP gave less problems except connection drops sometimes(which is related to AOSP thing I guess) but data hang is not frequent. On Sense, every single time!

+1
Happens to me as well from time to time.
Anyone knows what is the cause?

I called my telco and ask them to check the connection with my number. they said its unstable and improperly connected. so they rebooted the (I dont know what they called) and etc. Rebooted my phone, turn on data, and damn it worked! Speedtest gave me average of 7-8 mbps for download. i rarely get that. now no more hung up. now i'm in love with my hox back. never thought thats the problem since other phones are working well previously.

this is the solution using last ****ing version facebook mesenger works
i cant upload links, but see the txt

Well for me it working just fine..Restart your device and clear cache..It should work!

Solution !
This may sound stupid but it worked for me and for so many people who had the same problem:
1 - Turn off your phone
2 - Take out your sim card (yes your sim card)
3 - Turn on your phone and log in to facebook messenger (works right?)
4 - Now turn off you phone again
5 - Insert you sim card and when you turn on your phone again facebook messenger should still work?
Hope this helps !
