My D3 is my internet lifeline, because I use it for my home internet via PDAnet. After updating with the OTA, when I plug my phone into my laptop, the phone doesn't even acknowledge that it is connected, and my computer doesn't recognize that there is a device connected. I tried rebooting, didn't work.
I am not rooted.
Any suggestions?

I had to reinstall the drivers.

I installed the driver needed to tether USB using cm6 and windows XP. It works fine, but I lost the ability to safely remove hardware in the taskbar in lower right on my PC. I tried to turn on the USB storage on my phone, it worked on the hero's end but it did not show up on my PC, normally it is E: drive. So I tried to disable Android USB Ethernet in the device manager, thinking it would pick back up as a storage device, no luck. I even scanned for hardware changes ADB is not seeing my phone either! This is getting worse and worse as I type!
OK I used USBDeview to uninstall the tether from usb ports, and device manager to uninstall the driver for the usb tether. I then restarted my PC plugged up the ol hero and everything is back to normal However my question is; Can I reinstall the USB tether driver for WinXP and be able to continue to use ADB, and mount SD, not all at once but as it was I could not do that. Once I installed USB tether I lost all ability to ADB and mount my SD for drive E: on the PC. I even tried disabling the USB network adapter using device manager. I guess its wireless tether from here on out?
Thanks for the help
Anytime you use usb tether, you can't use storage or adb. And it's a known bug in cm6 that stopping tether does not restore usb/adb use unless you reboot your phone. My fix is to use wired tether for root users. Of course you still can't use adb and tether at the same time, but when you stop it, adb returns.

So I reboot phone and I can use storage and adb again, without uninstalling the USB driver for tethering. Good to know, Thanks!

Reinstalled usb tether driver and tested, good. Rebooted phone and was able to adb and mass storage!
Thanks
Try that wired tether app, just google it. You don't have to restart the phone when you're done using it to usb tether

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

Ok, so I just got this samsung captivate and I want to root it. I can't get anywhere close to rooting it because when I plug it in via USB, windows doesn't do anything. I have my phone set to USB debugging and sometimes I have to unplug/replug the mini usb from the phone several times before it actually goes into "USB Debugging" mode. I have installed the necessary drivers but windows still does not acknowledge that I am even plugging in the phone via USB. I have tried downloading kies and that didn't work either. I don't think anything is going to work until I can make windows acknowledge that the USB device is even connected. I have also tried the *#7482# trick and it didn't help. Could it be another setting on my phone or something that is preventing my phone from connecting to my computer? It is really starting to agitate me because I want to get rid of all this crappy bloatware.
Maybe this stickied thread in the General forum can help... Captivate Connection Issues....

Turn USB debugging off and check if it sees it then...

So I just got the One and when connecting it to my laptop (running XP), my phone would display a message saying that it needs to be unlocked first. I downloaded the HTC sync manager for the drivers but still no go. How do I get my laptop to see the One?

I have a mac book pro and parallels installed with windows 7 and I can not get either to connect with the mbp. Any suggestions does not in going on osx and keeps trying to install the drivers on windows with the latest samsung drivers installed. I'm at a lost. First phone I have had this happen with. Gear mounts perfectly to both.

If you have Kies installed open the .dmg installer and uninstall. Might be the problem. If that doesn't work I would shutdown parallels and see if it will connect to osx.
