I have a weird problem with my USB port (I assume it's PC related but...?).
I can connect and sync my kaiser with a std or the HTC USB cable but if I cradle it in the Seidio or connect the 3-1 adapter I get the response "unknown USB device". Strange enough is that NONE of the two is charging. At other PC's it sometimes works, sometimes not. I assume my USB drivers of my Dell Optiplex are toast but how to reinstall...
Well, start with checking to see if under settings------->connections-------->"usb to pc ", the usb to pc option doesnt have " enable advanced networking functionality" checked ( enabled ). That will most times cause issues with activesync connecting and especially prevent USB charging.
Next, check to see if actvesync is set to use USB as an active connection type under its settings.
Delete any previous activesync pairs you may have and try to reconnect. I somehow doubt its your drivers but the best way to check is to just go to Microsoft.com, navigate to their downloads section, and download a new copy of activesync.
One last thing to check. Some roms have a battery option (settings ----------> power-------> battery tab ) that doesnt allow charging when connected to a PC. Make sure that is NOT checked.
Thanks for your reply.
I tried all you mentioned beside uninst. AS clean the PCs reg and reinstall.
Will let everybody know.

* Just so I don't get flamed...I HAVE searched the forums AND google AND have tried what they recommend...it just still doesn't seem to work.
I was using a D-Link USB Bluetooth Adapter (until I broke it). I remember at one point in time that I WAS ABLE to run an ActiveSync session via Bluetooth. I have just purchased a Kensington MINI USB adapter (only sticks out about 1/4" so maybe this one won't break.)
I have rePaired my computer with the Tilt, created a port (com5) on my computer, set ActiveSync to use Com5. But when I try to issue a Bluetooth Activesync...it says that it cannot connect beause it's not a ActiveSync Port. Checking the available services shown on the Tilt reported by the PC...shows only Serial Port. I have tried everything I can...remove the Com Ports, replace the com ports, different com ports, remove all pairings, etc. Still cannot get the Tilt to see the ActiveSync service.
I CAN sync via cable...but I just want to cut the cords when traveling. (The less the better.)
I found several google answers that are relevant.
However, depending on the version you use I reccomend you start in Activesync Help. Launch A/S, go to help menu, select "connecting a mobile device to pc", then select "connect to activesync using bluetooth".

i use a BT Dongle to sync with Activesync and was having that same problem. To correct this, i deleted the current sync relationship on both the PC and the PPC. i also deleted the BT Pairing on both the PC and PPC as well. Once that was all done, i repaired the PPC with the PC and it found the Activesync Port. and it works beautifully both via BT and USB Cable.
I hope this helps.

You don't know how many times I tried that exact sequence and zippo. I might just have to admit defeat and go cabled.

I know that it's probably too late to post this, but I had the same problem just now. What I did is I removed all other USB cables that are connected to my computer and tried to pair again. And viola, I see my activesync.
I'm in the same situation
My mini usb port on the phone charges, but it doesn't connect to ActiveSync. So I went and bought a bluetooth dongle for my laptop & desktop. On my desktop I allowed the OS (WinXP) to install it's drivers. I followed the instructions on the Activesync help and it worked beautifully. On my laptop on the other hand it didn't first with xp driver and then with the drivers included with the dongle I just couldn't set a com port that Activesync could use (it has to be numbered below 20 and all I get is 24 and beyond). To make matters worse the included drivers tend to hang my laptop so no joy.
This dongle's Interlink NANO Bluetooth VP6494 & the drivers are by Toshiba.
Any ideas??!!
This is how I fixed it for me
First I uninstalled the Toshiba BT drivers that came with my dongle. Then I erased the laptop pairing in my kaiser. Then I uninstalled a couple of programs (Motorola phone tools, Samsung Studio & some other for a Sony Ericson) from my laptop. After that I plug the dongle back in, allowed XP to install it's drivers.
After that I was able configure a COM port with a number less than 20 & have been able to sync thru Bluetooth since.
Hope it helps.
I did a hard reset. I uninstalled WMDC, but still nothing. The phone charges however, which I dont get. How can i fix this?
This happens to me if I use the USB ports on my monitor. I actually like this sometimes. When I plug into the direct ports (try ones on the backplane) there is now such issues. This is independent of the issue of having an unrecognisd usb devices in devman which may be your problem. If so, remove that item in device manager, unplug the tilt and replug it in.
Also I assume u have active sync enabled.
im using a laptop...
what is the name of the driver in device manager? i tried to do that, but i didnt see anything listed that could be the tilt.
thanks for your reponse btw
i had that happen to me. in connections in the settings menu, under usb to pc, do you have the "enable advanced network functionality" checked? i unchecked that and then my phone synced.

forgot to mention i tried that as well!
make sure windows mobile device connectivity(in services) is on automatic? And you did not mention if you reinstalled WMDC, only uninstalled.
dunno if you've tried this yet, but under vista mine won't sync unless I open the wmdc before I plug in. It's not enough just to have the sync icon in the taskbar, I have click the green ball icon before I plug in. make sure when you open it to allow usb connections in the connection settings. also, try a bluetooth sync to make sure your tilt is playing nice with vista. this should tell you if it's a usb problem or a communication problem.
hope this helps

I don't know how it happened but all of a sudden when I connect my Kaiser to my computer via USB cord, it doesn't connect. It charges my phone but it doesn't let me explore my phone. Activesync or Windows Mobile Decive Center do not read my phone.
I don't know if this matters, but when I go into COMM MANAGER (I don't know if I unchecked anything by accident) but the Data Connection tab is turned off and I can't turn it on.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can sync my phone again?
I tried a hard reset, i tried a soft reset, i tried different mini USB cords but NOTHING worked...
A couple things.
Under the settings tab there should be an option for " enhanced USB networking". try to enable/ disable this.
Also, it is possible your USB port is no longer functioning properly. A search for USB Problems yields MANY results, some of the fixed include simple things such as reflashing a new rom/radio , to the extremes of having the USB port replaced on the mainboard.
Also, have you tried to sync it to more than just 1 computer? Try on a couple. Make sure your activesync isnt the cause.
Just like pyraxiate said, try toggling the enhanced usb networking opetion. Also give your mini usb port on your phone a visual inspection, its not uncommon for it to crack (mine's cracked before).
If all looks good, restart your computer and soft reset your device. Google for activesync restart, theres 2 or 3 apps that completely kill activesync and restart it. It also wouldn't hurt to check another PC to see isolate the problem.
GOT IT, thanks for your help guys. I went to Settings>Connections>USB to PC and then unchecked 'enable advanced network functionality' and it worked!
Glad to hear this one was a simple one
Have fun here on XDA!
same problem
I have been having problems getting my usb to connect/sync also and thanks for the idea to check for a crack in the mini usb port. I am new to all this, this is my first pocket pc - or even smart phone before Is there an easy way to fix this problem or is a "send back to company" fix only?

and what will when i make it... this start my rom over again like the first time that i install it ?
ammm after i doin a hard reset its still doesn't work for me...
some 1 ? ...
have you tried a different USB cable.
I had a similar issue before and it turned out it was the USB cable itself.
yeah i try it...
Did you try it on another computer?
When you connect the phone to the USB port, do you get the popup asking how you would like to use it? *ActiveSync, USB Disk, internet sharing)
If you don't get one, check your settings: Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC.
Check what the options are and if the "Ask me first about USB connection" is enabled.
Reconnect the phone and see if it works.
If it still doesn't work, you should check the Device Manager in your Windows computer (if you use one that is). See if the device is recognised. You can try to remove the device and reinstall the drivers for it.
ai try on snythere computer and nothing. the phone asking me about active,usb disk and internet sharing. and also nothing. so i thing that my usb connecting s burn imself. lucky that we have bluetooth, slowly but it fine... 10q for trying helping me
maybe this works
hi,

After that it worked for me. BUT! I Was unable to connect to the internet on my phone through my usb cable!
So I just uninstalled active sync disconnected my phone, checked advanced networking back on again and reinstalled active sync, be sure to remove all previous pairings between your pc and your phone. I hope this works for you
greets Daan

I have a rooted bionic with blurr3d rom installed. i just got a new laptop, installed the moto driver, tried connecting my phone but laptop cannnot read my phone. I noticed that i dont have the usb conection option anymore(or dont know where to find it)
Any help would be nice...
Can you give some more info, what kernel are you on right now?
Does the phone make any sound or indication that it is connected when you plug it in to the laptop?
If there is a USB connection, there should be an icon on the notification bar and there should be a notification for "USB connection" when you open your notifications. If you select that, it should bring up the usual USB connection menu.
I've heard of some people having issues with connections on USB ports that get low power. On desktops, people generally recommend using the ports on the back because they receive more power, apparently. I've also heard of similar issues on a laptop, though you don't have the convenient option of using another set of USB connections. Most of that has been information I've seen for stuff like flashing something on the device, so I'm not sure if that would be an issue for the basic USB connection.
Try a different USB cable.
