[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.

Which mode you selected? Is it charge only or storage option. If it is storage option, try using another card and then connecting to comp to check whether its a problem with SD card

It Reboots as soon as i connect it.
No time to select Charge Only or Storage

If your phone do not have any other problems when not connected to PC, this may probably be an issue with the drivers. Try the following.
1. Backup your comp.
2. Remove all external connections except power from your PC
3. uninstall all drivers and software related to HTC.
3. Restart PC and give a few minutes
4. Connect the phone
5. Check whether all drivers are getting automatically installed (it should)
OR alternatively try connecting the phone to another PC (should not have any preintalled HTC drivers)
Hope that helps.

Hi guys,
I am sorry but I have run out of ideas here. Some senior members please pitch in and help these guys.. I would also advice a hard reset (after backing up everything) but its left to you. Do wait for some guidance from our senior members. May be it has a simple solution :fingers-crossed:

Phone can't be detected by PC

My phone can't be detected by PC and the when I plug in , it just charges normally but can't be detected ... No connected to PC in notification bar . Tried turning USB debugging both on and off . And the connected to PC in settings , tried both charge only and disk drive with ask me checked , still no luck .Tried plugging into different USB ports . Tried uninstalling HTC driver from device manager at PC but when reinstalling , failed to reinstall don't know why ... And after a few searches at google , I am quite dumb enough to uninstall the HTC Sync app in my phone ... Now I have no HTC Sync in my phone , unable to connect to PC and am screwed ... Any help will be much appreciated .
Edit : Solved the problem . Flashed ARHD EB-1 by mike1987 and the problem was solved unexpectedly and magically ...

Try a different cable.
Switch on a data connection and restore sync, by browsing to play.google.com on your computer and hitting install.
Umm... Uninstall and reinstall the drivers.

I couldn't connect to computer ... How would you expect me to browse to play.google.com and hit install ?? O.O Thanks for replying though ...

tried with another cable or another computer? you should, but anyway try to clean register on your pc,

If, using any kind of web browser, you go to https://play.google.com/store you can remote install apks when logged into the same google account as the phone. Well, turns out "HTC Sync" isn't in the store. In fact, I have no idea what you uninstalled.

Mines done that a couple of times, a reboot sorts it.

If you have rooted your phone and cwm recovery is installed you can access your phone. Boot into recovery and click on the mount button. Then click mount the sd card and it should pop up on your computer

I Think it is not a problems in the drivers because as i know if it is a problem regarding the drivers the PC must pop-up a notification saying unrecognized device, but in my situation there is nothing happened when i plug my phone to my PC the only thing that happened is that my Phone is charging.. my main purpose why i've wanted to connect my HTC to my PC is that i wanted to use the adb to downgrade and root my phone and also after that to change my rom.., do you have any suggestion to downgrade and root my HTC which i am not going to connect it to a PC ?.
Thanks in advanced men..

not a safe way to do it but if you feel like it you can try visionary. if the wrong drivers were installed then it may not pop up with anything, you can use certain applications to test if any drivers pop up (just google search)
otherwise try and clean out the usb port

actually i've installed it's drivers in my pc, and also my data cable is new.. i've tried it on lot of pc but still it can't be detected..

try to reinstall / update drivers from off site

i know silly question, but .. Did you try changing connection type on your phone ??

Just to confirm try using same cable & phone on some other PC, if it works there there's probably some crazy windows error on ur laptop which is next to impossible to fix, only solution is to format ur PC & install fresh windows. If you phone + cable does not work on other PC there probably something wrong with either, try using same cable on different phone & vice versa.
hope this helps
