Hi
First of all try to reinstall Microsoft ActiveSync, than in the ActiveSync options, in your device, be sure that in "Connections..." setting "Synchronize all PC by this connection" is checked and below "USB" showed!
Otherwise, if your device, when connected to the PC, also doesn't charge (if you have this option enebled on your PDA!) there is some problem on your PC settings concerning the USB! Try to connect to someother PC to test it!
Ciao
thx...

hello there, first n foremost thanks for your input!
Before trying out your possible solution i tried to connect and for some reason i was able to connect via the device today...??!!
i really dont know why, but will try your soln if this situation reocurrs.
NB: this happenned to me twice in the last 3-4 months, n i never figured out the cause ??
any other advice or ideas gratefully accepted.;
its probably the same as me and loads of other people - the pins have bent on your usb connector - probably caused by using non standard chargers and usb leads. Its been widely reported. The non-standard leads have too much space around them when plugged in and wiggle causing the connector on the tytn II to bend. Try using the lead which came in the box and see if it helps. and try using the charger that came with it too.
Can bent pins be fixed?
Hello -- I'm one of those people with a non-recognition problem. Is it possible to fix the bent pins? My problem seems to have begun around the time I lost my original USB cable. Now, all the cables I have -- ones that have been specifically sold to work with my HTC Tilt -- have the symmetrical, sort-of-trapezoidal mini-usb connection, rather than the rectangle-with-one-corner-cut-off shape of the original cable. I should say these cables do charge my device, but none of my computers recognizes it as a USB device.
Help?
Thank you,
J. Georgia
bent pins continued
I should add that the charging cable that originally came with my phone has the same connector shape, so I'm not sure what's going on.
USB Device not recognised
This is known to happen at times win Windows, and not just for the TYTN2 but a myriad of devices.
The fastest fix for this:
Reboot ur PC/ Laptop.
If this Doesn't help - Then add in a reboot for the TYTN 2 also.
The problem will go away for some time.
I know its annoying, but this is way faster than troubleshooting for contacting MicroShaft Support.

Unfortunately this is no soution for me. I seem to have this problem as well, since about two weeks.
I use two notebooks (Dell & Acer) and both do not show any activity when connecting my Kaiser to the original USB cable. The device is not even switched on when I connect it, nor does this happen when I connect it to the (original) cable in my car, which did work before.
Charging works fine, both in the car and when connected to both notebooks, but no Sync at all.
I have tried another USB-cable with the same result, so I suspect some hardware-problem causing me to be unable to copy files between my notebook and my phone and worse, rendering me unable to flash a new ROM onto it.
Who knows what to do next?
I am mystified, too. USB Charging and audio connections work. I have rebooted my computer and done a soft reset on my phone several times, to no effect. I uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Mobile Device Center. Still nothing at all via USB. Once, yesterday, I somehow got a Bluetooth connection long enough to sync, but haven't been able to since then. Even then, Windows Media and AudibleManager couldn't see the phone. The really weird thing is, I can see the phone connection in my Bluetooth manager, but even with all the proper boxes checked, I can't sync. When I try from my device, I get an empty progress box which disappears after a fraction of a second. When I try from my computer, it says the device is not connected, but doesn't give me any option to connect.
Would a hard reset help?
If so, would returning an unlocked AT&T Tilt to factory defaults lock it back up? And what do I do if it does?
Please help!

I have had similar problems with my touch pro in the past, even bluetooth internet sharing eventually gave up the ghost.
I tried a myriad of leads and then eventually reinstalled active sync- which did the trick.

I've had the same problem with my first Tilt. There's multiple threads that detail this known problem. Some seem to be due to bent pins, some are general hardware failures (possibly the USB controller). There are some HardSPL images out there that have a "force usb" option enabled. This never worked for me, but it might be worth a shot for you.
...a word of warning....
If you end up reflashing your phone (via MicroSD) and the flash goes bad, you may be stuck, as many of the solutions for repairing a bad flash require you to USB sync. My first Tilt was a victim of this after a bad stock ROM flash that left my device without audio, and unable to flash via MicroSD.
replace usb board
you need to replace your usb board. It will run you less than $10 if you do it yourself. you can get the board on ebay
really? 4 years later?
Hi y´all,
I have a problem connecting a touch diamond with a pc via an usb cable.
Whenever I plug in the diamond, it asks me, if I want to treat it like a mass storage device or connect it via ActiveSync. But whatever I press, nothing happens. Charging the battery does work though.
I´v tried a different touch diamond, a different cable, a different laptop, so I can say that the problem is on the specific touch diamond. Everything else can be ruled out.
Now before I make a hardreset I thought I ask here if anyone maybe has a clue on what I am doing wrong.
ActiveSync 4.5 is installed on the laptop and all the other usb settings (on the touch diamond) seem to be ok. A different diamond will connect instantly.
Are there maybe some hidden settings or anything else I can try out before doing a hard reset?
Thanks for any suggestion.
bye,
Thilo
Btw: the diamond did connect perfectly until a couple of days ago. Afaik no software has been installed on it since then.
I suggest to try to disable the power charge by usb, for me it work!
Okay here is the issue, I had cooked rom working just fine for several months now and few days ago it happened. One of my friends called and I pickup the call and the sound from speaker, and the mic stopped working. So I figured to hard reset, no big deal did it a million times, first wanted to sync to save all my new appointments and contacts. When I plugged the pda thru usb nothing happened, after many tries of making a connection, I gave up and tried flashing new rom. Here is the funny part I thought my usb connection was screwed up, but when I went into bootloader on the pda I was able to flash new rom from pc, usb worked fine. But after trying 6 different roms still no connection except thru bootloader, I even flashe stripped stock rom and no success. Tried 3 pc and reinstalled activesync which was weird because the pc recognized there was usb connection then all disappeared. Tried disabling Firewall, I am using WinXp SP3. Please help.
Still having issues
I finally got it to sync to Bluetooth but no usb connection
Anybody?
any one had same issue and had it fixed?
Hi, ive got little problem, maybe i turned something off, or i dont really know. When i try to connect my phone via usb cable into PC nothing happens, its only charging my phone, its not communicating in any way with PC. i've tried several usb cables but with no success. even the charing cant be turned off, when i press do not charge while connected (or whatever it is) nothing happens, and it keeps charging. ive got dutty's rom (but dunno which one, its the one with HD2 manilla)
thanks a lot for help
Hi.
is the usb connections menu appearing when you connect the device to PC? (on your TD2..where you can choose between Activesync, Hard Disk mode and Internet sharing..). USB connection used to work and stopped after something was installed? Try to reinstall Activesync or Windows Mobile Devices Centre in your PC (depending on you OS) or, as a last resort, hard reset your phone (backup your stuff !). I would also try to connect it to a different pc, just to be sure..Be also sure that the following options in Start/Settings/Connections/Usb to PC are:
Activesync [checked]
Fast data synch (or whatever it is) [checked]
Put a checkmark on the last option if you want this menu to come up every time you plug the USB cable.
ive tried it on several PCs but no success, so its not PC problem, no tab of choosing which type of connection to use appears. Like it's only charging, not communicating with pc i guess that i need to hard reset it >.<
hard reset didnt work, still no connection between pc and phone, i dont know what to do >.< hope that its not hardware problem. any ideas ???
same thing happened to my D2. i had to send it in for a repair
that's what i was afraid about,,, HTC warranty service here in svk/cze is not-so good as i've heard. And another problem is that i have cooked ROM on. With usb not working there is no f-ing way to get stockSPL back . Wonder if they repair it, or if i would have to pay
You can flash stock rom through SD card, about sspl I´m not sure.
so i guess the phones from svk/cze have fulty usb ports because mine was also from there. the thing with me was that i live in USA so i had to wait for them to get the parts and they scratched my phone so i had to send it in. i got it back then the screen was scratched. i had to send it in again and when i got it back the camera didn't work. i argued with them so much that they just gave me a new one.
It has just stop working when a plug in my usb to my pc i do not get "Turn on USB storage" on my phone. No usb icon also. The computer does not recognize the phone.
I have try different cables, computers and OS. Also did a factory resat and putt on debuging mode on and off. Also multiple restarts with no luck. I use stock rom.
Are my phone broken?
It's probably the usb ports though you have tried with other computers ;/
or the micro-usb port of your device

I had the same problem and I believe it is a phone issue. I tried reinstalling drivers, different USB ports on different machines, factory resets, different cables etc. At times when plugged in the phone would suddenly wake up and acknowledge the USB connection while at others it just started charging when plugged in to USB.
What confirms that this is a phone problem rather than a PC problem is that when I connect it to my office workstation that runs on Sun Solaris, it behaves pretty much the same, acknowledging the connection randomly. My HTC Magic on the other hand always connected to both home PCs and office workstation without any issues every time.
Finally I have returned my handset and asked for a replacement.

I have returned the phone to the store. I will have to wait two weeks if they fix the problem. But thanks away

Good luck. It's a pity though as otherwise my handset worked perfectly with no reboots lags etc. I hope the replacement comes in soon and is bug free too.
I have the same issue with my macbook. Since yesterday my o2x isn't recognized by my mac.
I know it is not the usb cable, or the (micro)usb port, because when i plug the phone in at night my alarm clock on the o2x fires up (as it should).
So a connection is made, it just doesn't show "turn on usb storage" on my o2x. And i cannot understand why.
I am on the 0606 baseband, with the new FR19 ROM from Paul O'brien's Modaco (which is excellent btw).
If anyone has a solution, please let me kno
I have the same problem with my phone under modaco fr19, baseband + ril 606.
My pc is under windows vista and the drivers are installed correctly.
Awala
Update:
I received a replacement handset which was V10D 20110405 out of the box. No issues with USB connection.
Just out of interest, did any of you leave the phone connected to USB for a long time before it started failing? I used to leave it charging via USB all day at work so just wondering if there is a connection...
Update:
I earlier stated that my O2X wouldn't connect to my macbook. Yesterday I connected the O2X while on the Windows Vista partition of my mac, and it connected without any problem. After that, rebooted to Mac OSX partition, and no problem there. So I am a bit puzzeled about why, but it seems to work again.
In reaction to mparack's question, i sometimes let it load overnight via usb cable. But not a lot. I do not think that was the cause. I thought it was caused by flashing the 0606 baseband, but now I do not think that was the culprit.
Got back my phone from Telia on Wednesday. Everything worked fine. And I upgraded the phone using the LG update (Basbandversion: 1035.21_20110622) LGE version LGP990-V10c). After that the same problem! It feels like it's a bug in the software. Then they have changed the mainborad and it sounds unlikely that the new one is defective to.Goning back to Telia on Monday if they know about a bug or if you can get a new phone.
Those of you who have had the same problem what version do you have? Can I downgrade phone in anyway?
