Will someone please help me!?

lately my hero has not been connecting to my pc. when i plug it to my pc it only charges, but does not ask if i want to use a disk drive or HTC SYNC, its as if my sd card doesnt exist. im using kingston 4gb microsd hc. please someone help, i dont know what to do. at first formatting would fix it, but now doin that wont even work. but with no zips on my sd card, it causes my rom to freeze periodically. (ive tried other sd cards and another pc it still did not work)

can you use adb at all and if so can you cd into the sd card?

man, idk what any of that even means, i havent been using xda long at all.

How did you go from the 2GB to the 4? What steps?

Are you on a 2.1 ROM?
Or are you on a stock 1.5

im on a 2.1 rom

Hmm... If you tried in recovery... it can't be the ROM. So my next guess is the computer.
1. Don't know if this is necessary but do you have the latest drivers?
2. Have you tried on another PC??

yes i have, but both cpu's are running windows xp. i dont know why it would be the computer, since ive been able to connect easily up until recently.

[Q] Kies problem...

I've just updated to 1.5.3.10093_80 and now Kies doesn't connect to my phone.... It just stays at connecting... What to do?

Mine too, on two different computers.

Ok.. It's working now.. I've reinstalled the drivers.. but now I have another problem... I can't save my contacts on my Pc... it says that my device isn't connected... :| Nice software developed by Samsung...

Sorry... It says that the device is in use...

I also get the message, phone is in use when I want do display my contacts on Kies.(I tried an older version of kies and also the latest)
Is there a solution for that?
Maybe it has something to do with themes, because before I installed the ANDRODeNa GaLaSSiA-theme I was able to copy my phone-contacts to my pc via kies.
any suggestions?

So nobody knows how to fix this issue?

have you tried rebooting the PC?
disconect the USB devices first

disconect the USB devices first

Using Vista 64 I had sucess with:
1. Don't plug your phone to the computer yet.
2. Open Kies, from the settings turn off the options 'automatically start monitoring for device connection when Windows starts' and 'Start Kies automatically when device is connected'. For some reason the MTP installation failed each time Kies was open at the same time.
3. In Kies, click the Kies file menu on top of the application and select Driver recovery. Let it install the drivers, then reboot your computer (I only did this the first time).
4. Once rebooted, Kies shouldn't be running. Then plug your phone to the usb connection and select Samsung Kies mode.
5. Wait for the usb device to be detected and the drivers to be installed. Now the MTP installation shouldn't fail.
6. Start Kies and begin using your phone.
I cant get the firmware to upgrade tho... Kies still sucks.

Yeah Kies is pretty balls.

This site has another interesting fix that worked for me when the uninstalling /reinstalling the drivers didn't work. Its a simple tool that scans your internal and SD card and to show which have too long filenames. You have to manually delete them (usually just thumbnail caches), and then Kies worked fine! Well, worked fine in the sense that it finally detected my device and said I had a firmware update available, and then it crashed when it was downloading

Ok... I understand what you guys said... but my problem isn't that kies wouldn't detect my device... I have no problem with that, my device is detected, but when I hit the save to pc contacts button it says that the device is in use and I can't backup my contacts... :|

Please make sure that Bluetooth AND Sync are both turned OFF. The best way to do this is via the power control widget. Also if you are not using it then change back to the stock TWLauncher for interactions with Kies.

[Q]Can't connect in download mode

Hi guys,
I have a real nasty problem here. Whenever i want to connect my SGS in download mode to reflash i get the error "usb device not recognized". When i just connect it as storage i get "this device can perform faster". I habe MIUI 1.12.9 on it, and I really want to flash something else. It stopped working since I accidentally connected my front USB's in the IEEE 1394 slot, instead of the USB one. Since then my external HDD won't work anymore, I had to open it and to use it as an internal one. Is there anything I could do? Or is smth f...ed up with my phone usb...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

got it working on your pc in download mode before?

Try to reinstall the newest Samsung drivers.

Once or twice when I get this message I just take out the USB from my laptop and connect it again.. if you are constantly getting this message I think something's wrong with USB.. I would suggest trying to connect on some other computer .. if that also doesn't work then try using a different USB cable..

I already tried on a different PC. Also with another USB cable but a Nokia one. Is it necessary to use a Samsung one?

No not really.. I have used a nokia cable many times and it has worked fine for me both in download mode and usb storage mode..
if you connect your phone in usb storage mode to a different computer, still the same message is flashed?

Actually on another computer I didn`t manage to connect at all, download mode or mass storage. Everything worked just fine before the USB thing.

You can:
1. use a different USB port
2. use a different pc
3. use a program to go to download mode ( POT android tools by opda team).
on different pc - install those USB drivers ->

on a different pc you first need to install the drivers for your phone..

Download and install Kies.

POT Android can't find my phone. I'll try again on a different PC...

[Q] Cant use as mass storage?

I'm on zeus v3 I installed the latest lag mobile driver but still can't used my phone as mass storage or to transfer files from computer to my OB and vis a vis.

In order for it to work; USB debugging should be unchecked. first go to settings and uncheck it and try again.
If that doesn't work either go to settings and there is menu lik "SD card and..." under it check USB storage then try again.

When I insert it in the usb port it said's that the usb is not recognized even though I installed the lastes lg mobile.

Sometimes I got that message to, but it fixed when I replugged the usb, or change the usb port.
Try plug it on other usb port. If it still failed, try with other PC (install driver first of course).
If it also failed, try using other cable.

Even I was facing similar problem yesterday after I installed Marvel's Custom Rom & I thought its a bug, but I googled and found a solution. 'Switching off the phone, removing the battery and inserting it again and turning it on' : This solved my problem!

Ok. And there is always "not installing the drivers" issue. Try to install latest L mobile drivers. I believe the version was 3.6

Yes I already have the latest drivers but still...
Do you think its related to the cable ?

Try RomManager. Download it, install,open, find fix permissions, run it, reboot and everything should be fine again ;-) dont just run fix permissions from cwm, since it doesnt work. Use RomManager.

Well if service is said that can do nothing to repair it so you could just prepare to buy a new phone... Your issues sounds pretty bad so I think that your phone is just broken. But can you get contact your phone with odin when your phone is set to download mode?

I noticed on both the s3 mini and the s4 mini the usb storage mode freezes if you right click > create new folder.
Other than that I think your phone is very broken.

No i can't! I cannot connect it to PC. I tried with a lot of apps!
We are talking about Moldova, in this country the specialists aren't very qualified!

In entire my setting it's only USB debugging, i have viewed online that it's should be an optionȘ More/Usb Settings, but i don't have it! I don't know what type of storage i use! How i can check?
