My N1 and Windows 7(No connection while USB mode) - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It seems that when I try to connect my n1 to my CPU, my CPU can not recognize my n1 SD card while its in USB mode.
I am currently running window 7 32b. I thought it was my windows that was faulty so reformat my CPU with fresh copy of windows. However that was not the case. So I tried my other computer running windows XP and it picks up the SD card instantly. So I tried a new SD card in my N1 tried it again. Didn't work. I am confused. Everytime I need to transfer files from my CPU to my n1 I have to pull out the SD card. Its strange. All the drives were installed correctly but it will not detect. Other CPU will detect. Is anyone having this issue with windows 7 on your computer. I wan to fix this. Its really getting annoying. Please if you guys have any ideas let me know. I even called HTC and they figured out its my CPU not the phone. And I agree. It works on other windows but not my windows 7.

Make sure usb debugging is checked marked before trying to mount....See if that works

USB debugging works fine. I am able to use adb commands. Funny thing is phone thinks its in USB mode. There's got to be some driver issue or something. Drivin me crazy.

If all else fails...get one of those WiFi file transfer apps. Way, Way, Way faster than transfering through the USB cord on the N1 (tops out at 2mbps).

What's the app call? Yeah I can't find what's wrong. Spent three hours. This sucks.

Try another PC. My Home PC that I built used to recognize it... then stopped... then wouldn't for weeks... and just the other day I noticed it found it (after a minute).
Today on my netbook (EeePC 1000HE) it gave me fits a few times before coming up.
Nothing really changed on my Home PC really and USB sticks would read just fine, but not my N1. I know I reset the thing many times without success so finding it working was surprising.
One thing I use are my existing mini-usb cables and I picked up these little mini-micro usb converters. Perhaps those are flaky?

[Q] USB 2.0

I just noticed when transfering some files to and from my phone that it seems to be running at usb 1.1 speeds. My compuers are giving me the standard windows "Hi-Speed device plugged into non-HI-Speed hub" message on windows xp. I have tried on multiple ports and computers, so im thinking its a defective unit. Anyone else seen or having the same issue?

Weird - try a different cable? Are you sure your computers have 2.0 USB ports? Could it be that this is your first 2.0 device?
I know what he means. I have a pretty nice laptop and external hdd transfers are fine. But even dropping a 20mb file to the internal SD card seems to take awhile. Maybe its the read/write of the internal installed SD card?

But the message is the opposite from what is being described. The message says the computer is slow, the phone is fast. You are saying your computer is normally fast but the phone is slow.
I have XP, on a 3 year Dell D630 with no problems.

I guess that's what I get for posting when I'm busy LOL. I suppose in that case it might be a bad unit. Mine connects fine on win7.

[Q] [HELP] Rooted my NC, now my HTC G2 doesnt work...

This is kind of a mixed forum question....
but I managed to get my NC up and rooted (awesome job btw, totally rocks ), and now my HTC G2 isnt being registered by my PC when i plug it in for charging. They use the same cable so I usually just swap them out.
Any ideas? Its still charging, and I tried different usb ports and uninstalling the device profiles in DevManager... but still no dice.
Any help will be appreciated~
The nooncolor has a slightly different cable... try using the original cable from the G2

Im using a regular B/W nook cable, which doesnt have the different prong type in it, its just a regular Micro SD cable like the G2 and other phones use... but still no luck. My computer keeps treating it like an Unknown Device and i think its trying to use the adb-usb driver that i had to use for the NC
So ive gotten a little further and realized that Windows is assigned the wrong driver to the phone. Is there anyway to figure out what the old driver was or where the base one is for Windows? It keeps defaulting to the adb-usb driver and thats whats causing the issue~
Shouldn't you have the option to rollback the driver to a previous one in windows?

The B&N Nook Color cable is not normal.
Just download pdanet for android to your computer. It will find and install the appropriate drivers.
Okay... so I tried all of that. I mean, Im not a novice, but Im not an uber-pro either. From what I can tell, when I use the micro SD (non-adapted) usb cable and plug it into a HUB, the computer kinda sees my phone, but doesnt actually know how to properly load it and says "Cannot install correct driver"
But when I plug the usb directly into a slot on th MoBo or front port, it just doesnt see it at all and gives it power to charge.
SearEuslee, WTF!? (heh, sorry couldnt resist trying that)
Anyways, any help is most appreciated :C I really want to root my phone, but cant when the computer doesnt see it anymore....

Steeldroid question

Id love to post this in the development forum but not enuf posts so... I flashed steeldroid the other day and I love it, especialy with the GB launcher I added. Problem is, I can't get it to come out of charge only mode when hooking to the computer. It never gives me the option in the notification bar. Is there any other way to change it? Anyone have any ideas? I appreciate any help

Try a different cord, usb port, or computer. It sounds like it's not establishing a connection

Tried 3 cables. Charges fine. I have all the current drivers and everything on the computer.

I had a similar problem. My phone would not show it is charging past 95% but it would still increase the charge. I am waiting for the newest update before i dig into it myself.

I've got a similar issue on SD3 v3. I get the connect choices (PC, mass media, media sync, charge only) but i can't get mass media mode to connect on my windows 7 x64 machine. I get the bonk when the computer detects its connected, but don't see anything in device manager. Found a work around at least for the moment, put it in PC mode, and used the moto software, I can get into my internal card.
right, see i dont even get the connect options when i plug in. i am thinking it is something in the rom because it worked fine with the first cable i tried just before i flashed it. i know i could just restore to the nandroid backup of stock and do what i need to do but i dont wanna do that if i dont have to id rather make it work. is there a specific service or apk that controls the usb connect options that i can check?
Are you guys using the cord that came with the phone?
Yes all of my cables are motorola cables. The one i use for the computer is the cable that csme with the D3

[Q] Having issues with phone - PC connectivity.

Hi all,
Up until recently, my phone has been working great for transferring data between my computer. I'd connect it via usb, set it to mount to the PC and just move stuff back and forth. I was also able to use droidexplorer without fail as well.
Now, for some reason, droid explorer loses the connection when I start diving into folders, and my regular mounted transfers time out when moving files between my pc and phone but I can browse my phone without issue until I start transferring.
I have tried multiple ROMs and I am seeing the same issue. I have noticed that my usb cable is loose when it connects to my phone. Could this be the cause?
Any insight to this?

I had a problem with my captivate having a lose cable and the USB would not work so this could be the issue

It looks very much like USB is losing connection intermittently.....if you are on Win 7, do you get the "ding-dong" device-connecting sounds repeatedly?
Also, if you updated anything on the Win OS, or added a new USB device, you could end up with this. I know when I added my bluetooth dongle, all my phone connections went to pot.
Also, try different USB ports.

I'm on windows 7 and nothing has changed software wise. No audible notifications either.
Once the connection dies I normally have to replug-in to get my PC to detect the phone. I did notice that one of my front Ports doesn't see my phone anymore. I'll try one of the back ones.

you should try different cable. The one came with my phone gives me same problem now. I bought a new one off amazon for 2 dollar. It working great for data and charging.....

"USB device not recognized" - worked fine yesterday [SOLVED]

When I tired connecting my HTC vivid to my computer through the recovery's 'enable MS-USB' option, my computer (Windows 7 64-bit) states that is does not recognize the device (I get the list of ports, and can see the "unkown device"). I've plugged it in multiple times, but it still doesn't recognize it. Fastboot doesn't seem to recognize the device either (using "fastboot devices -s" displays nothing.
The cable seems to work fine, as it connects my LG rumor touch to my PC just fine and I can see all of its SD card contents.
I was having issues getting my vivid connected and charging before, so I'm thinking it might be the charge port. Any agreements, advice, or other suggestions?
----------------
UPDATE!!!
----------------
Just got my new charge port in today, and I can say without a doubt that my problem was the charge port! Popped the new one in (I almost laughed at how easy it was compared to replacing a cracked digitizer), and right away I noticed that the new port sort of... kept the cable plugged in better. It started charging instantly as opposed to the game of getting it to sit just right, and my computer immediately started to install drivers.
Hooray! Now I can fastboot again! And actually transfer files from my computer to my phone easily! And actually charge the damn thing without feeling like I'm trying to find its g-spot.
I recall getting something similar to that quite a while ago (I think it was back on CM10.1, so this was a LONG time ago ) where my computer (Win 7 Home Premium 64bit) wouldn't recognize my Raider when I connected it via the USB charge/transfer cable that came with it. And also like you, fastboot was not recognizing my phone either.
I think what I did then was restart my PC as I figured that perhaps it was failing to load the drivers upon that boot. And after my PC restarted and everything was stable again, I connected my phone to it and it understood it with no issues. Hasn't happened to me since.
Also, what recovery are you using? I use TWRP 2.6.3.0 and I've never had any issues with it.
I'm using CWM made for wcx, but cannot remember the version number. Unfortunately restarting my PC hasn't fixed the issue for me, nor did booting into another OS.

If you are going to insist on using CWM... Make sure you have an RUU handy for when it breaks your phone...
It WILL happen...

Unless I'm mistaken, an ruu wouldn't help me, as my PC does not recognize the phone at all, no matter how I attempt to make them communicate.
Also, I've never heard or read about cwm recovery screwing up or ruining anyone's phone. I got the impression it was one of the most stable recoveries.

CWM is improperly compiled...
WCX is amon ra based... And works as far as I know
And TWRP is what I use... And hasn't steered me wrong yet

OK, now that I have flash image GUI, i 'll try twrp and see of that fixes my issue. I did find out that my micro USB chargers don't seem to charge the phone anymore, only hooking up to my computer charges it.

As lame as this sounds, I find that when I get this error message, it is not driver-related.. it's USB port related. My front USB ports do this to me sometimes, so I have to reach to the back and plug in to one of those... that usually does the trick.
So far, didn't matter what USB port I use. Also reinstalled windows (had to do it anyway) and no change. I'll try it in my gfs computer tonight.

Try this solution: Uninstall any torrent software, restart the computer and try again.
Multiple operating systems, multiple machines, no torrent software on my windows 7 side.
