Activesync Problem (Tytn2)

When i connect my device to usb, nothing happens.
I looked up the forum for solutions, but was unable to find them.
It shows nothing in network connections, nothing in device manager, en activesyc shows nothing at all.
I tried the following:
- Other USB cable/port
- Reinstall activesync or use older version.
- Uncheked advanced networking in my device.
- Turned off firewall
I cant think of any other solutions at this time, maybe someone can help me.
(sorry for my bad English, i'm Dutch)

Ciao,
did you try to remove your older connection from your telephone? I mean programs -> system tools -> activesync -> menu -> options -> delete existing connections.
This works for me whenever i have some connection problems.

No luck =(
Still the same

No one has any idea?

Reboot the PC. Make sure you check Device Manager for any issues. Maybe disconnect all USB peripherals and then try the phone first. Did you try a different machine (PC)?

yes, i tried 3 machines.
But the problem is, the devices is reconized by none of them

What is the operating system of your pc´s
Windows XP sp3???
If so there are some issues that relates to sp3 but i dont know any resolution for it thou.

Nope, fully updated SP2

The HTC proprietary extUSB connector on the bottom of the TyTN II has been known to fail in a few cases (if you search in this forum there are many posts about it). When you plug in the charger or wired headphones do these work fully? Does your battery charge when connected to a PCs USB port? Not that these are 100% foolproof tests because different pins are used for the USB signal connection. What changes did you make or incidents occurred before this problem occurred e.g. started using a different charging cradle etc? Have you inspected the connector for damage and tried the original HTC cable?

The battery still charges via USB (via my pc), i used a charger in my car.
This is a USBport in the car, difficult to explain.

I can't tell you of my headphone works, because i lost it.
I can't dectect any damage to my USB port.

Update:
I've been looking at my USB port on mt PDA, and did a little bending, now when i connect my device, the screen flips to horizontal view.
So i guess the problem has to do with the USB connector after all.
Upd: OMG :O it keeps flipping from horizontal to vertical, even when it's not plugged in.

Be careful about using just any old car charger system. If you search this forum you'll see that there was one model which could damage the TyTN II due to overloading the UBS port on it (something to do with reverse flow under periods of heavy electrical load). I believe that model was subsequently modified to prevent this problem but it doesn't mean other car chargers with the same affliction wont arrive on the scene. Maybe it's time to hard reset the device and if it still plays up, return it to the supplier for a warranty claim.

[Q] Phone to Nook Tethering

I have an unrooted (blasphemy, I know) G2. It has wifi hotspot capabilities. Which allow me to connect the nook to the G2 wirelessly no problem. The problem comes from my work, which sniffs out wireless networks, and I rather them not see my adhoc personal network, even if it is secured.
Is there a way to connect my G2 to my nook (probably through micro to micro usb cables) and have it tether? I can connect my G2 to a laptop / computer and using a tethering app (native or PDAnet) and can tether that way. I just wouldn't know how to do it from a phone to a nook (which is basically a big phone).
Any ideas?
I'd need to purchase a micro to micro if people say it can be done that way.
Thanks!

sorry just read your post again and see you not rooted so i guess this wont help unless you root it ROOT IT
read this if your g2 has a tether app follow this fix and you should beable to tether your NC to your g2 I am going to try this when i get home with my driod x

That is for WiFi tethering, which I explained I already have working but am looking for another option, wired tethering. T-Mobile has native wifi tethering, one of the reasons I haven't bothered to root my g2.

ok i see , best of luck

I was wondering the same thing last night. Do we know if it's ever been done by any devices before? I'd assume the android device would have to have the specific drivers to recognize the device....If you can get yours hands on a micro to micro I guess just try it out and see what the android device does? When I plug my phone into my ubunutu laptop it recognizes it as an external modem right away, with no additional software. I wonder what will happen when it's plugged into a tablet.

Boy, that's an interesting question. What would happen if you plugged your android phone (that was rooted and setup for USB/modem tethering) into another android phone?

I'll see if I can get my hands on a micro adapter or a micro to micro cord and give it a shot. I work in the tech field, and no one around here has ever seen a micro to micro cord... they seem quite rare.

ive been wanting to find out if this wired tether is possible as well, since it would probably save a lot of battery life over making a rooted droid an adhoc wifi hotspot.
i have been unable to find a micro male to male cable anywhere, but i did find a USB 2.0 A Female -> Micro B Male adapter. The best price appears to be on ebay, seller king6729 seems to have a ton for $2.49 shipped. i cant post a link b/c this is my first post.
just put an order in, we'll see what happens when it gets here. though this is my first rooted device and i dont have a lot of knowledge of how to work on getting the usb drivers working myself

How did the cable work big tourist?

it took forever to arrive, but i finally got a chance to test, and it doesnt do anything. when i go original droid->nook with the cable the droid doesnt even recognize that the cable is plugged in.

I'm pretty sure that this will not work. The Nook doesn't have the USB drivers to "tether" your phone and as such your Nook will not recognize that your phone is even plugged into anything.

[Q] Droid 3 not recognizing USB

Hey guys, I have a small problem with my new Droid 3. I successfully rooted my phone when the exploit was released with no problem. I'm running Windows 7 and installed the correct motorola drivers. When the OTA leak was released I figured I should be safe and unroot before updating. I also restored the /system/app because I (unwisely) deleted a couple apps like blockbuster. So then I flashed the 890 fastboot using RSDLite, and my phone seemed to work fine but when I went to reroot it my phone does not recognize being plugged in. Windows does not recognize the USB device, and the phone does not even prompt for what type of connection I want. The droid just charges through the USB as if it were plugged into the wall. When I run the one click root script it can not find the connection. I reinstalled the drivers, tried reflashing the fastboot, and even reflashed using the zip with no luck. I double checked and my phone has USB debugging enable, and I'm not sure if this helps but I tried unmounting the SD before connecting. Nothing seems to work. RSDLite has no problem finding the device when it is in the AP Fastboot. I also tried running the linux root script in Ubuntu but that did not recognize the phone connection either, so I am pretty much stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciate because I must have this phone rooted! Thanks

My phone is doing the exact same thing... I was rooted, installed the leaked ota and ran the bloat removal script....
Now my phone doesn't recognize being plugged into usb. I've tried on several different PC's, and even another droid 3 that was never rooted, and got the OTA update from VZW.
I can't seem to figure out a way to enable the storage and charge and pc options anymore.

This happened to me and I was stumped for 2 days. The only cable that works is the one that came with my D3.

This is happening to me as we speak.... I am NOT rooted, but I did install the OTA today.

SOLUTION - Use only the Motorola USB cable that came with the phone. After the 5.6.890 update, my Droid3 also was no longer detected when connecting to a computer (it would charge, however). After using the cable that came with the phone, it works perfectly. It's a known issue, and the Bionic is facing the same issue as well. My super long LG cable won't work on it anymore, unless I just want to charge it =/

Exactly what he said ^ When I downloaded the leaked version, this happened to me too. And I was freaked the eff out. And online I couldn't find any spot on solutions. Then I read somewhere that after a while if you're not using the cord that came with it, it can stop working. So I tried my Droid 3 one, and it worked.

What would be the difference in the cables? I use some blackberry cords and old D1 cord as well as the one that came with my D3. One of my BB cords works, and of course the moto cord.
I'd like to either find out what the phone is checking for, and remove it, or maybe alter my cables if it's not too difficult.

The industry agreed to help eliminate e-waste by using microusb as a standard for charging cell phones. I can't imagine that this cut into Motorola's high profit accessories so much as to now forcing us to use proprietary cords and chargers.
There is an industry standard for charging via usb, Motorola really needs to get on board with this. I refuse to buy a phone that doesn't use standard microusb.

The thing is, it was working just fine. I've been using my LG EnV Touch charger with my Droid 1, (my brother uses it for his Droid 2), and was using it for my Droid 3. So, it may just be the OTA update..

Yeah, that was it. I was using a replacement cable given to me from Verizon, but once I switched back to the stock cable it worked perfectly fine. Strange, I never knew there could be a compatibility issue with different types of micro USB cables. So much for "universal" serial bus...

I had that problem too but i just had to switch ports

Awesome. So, I'm using the one I got with my D3 and it's all of a sudden not working now either. I had this problem when I downloaded the update cause I was using the wrong cable.. but now it's doing it again.
Edit - Must have been Jewremy's mod.. reflashed the whole ISC theme over it and it's working again. I'll test out Jewremy's and see if that was the problem.

any solutions found?
I'm having the exact same problem on my droid3 running gingerbread, and my phone was rooted. Before yesterday everything works fine I just installed some terminal simulator and some irrelevant apps. Now it's not being recognized by computer so I cannot do anything trhough adb. Has anyone found solution or root caused this? Please post it here ...

This was almost definitely stated earlier, but please make sure you are using a Motorola cable. Regular USB mini cords will NOT work.

Want to use phone remotely from pc as security cam. What gadgets do I need?

I just upgraded to an Lg G5 and would like to make use of my M8 instead of sell it.
So I've got one those Y OTG cables but apparently the charging female port is for charging other devices rather than the phone itself. So I'm guessing I need something like this cable but that actually charges the phone too. Any recommendations otherwise, and in addition, can anyone recommend a solar charger that could keep this bad boy powered whilst video recording with motion detection? Otherwise I need that cable if it exists.
And what is the process to connect to a pc and have your phone display pop up on the pc screen? Is "plug-n-play" or more involved? Just need a little direction.
Thanks!

How in the hell does Google let their devices languish in locked bootloader prison with carriers anymore? Why don't they give us the ability to root the phone if we're developers? You'd think you could just jump right in and unlock your bootloader on the Google Store purchased ones (unlocked ones - not Verizon trash) except they don't provide a cable TO CONNECT TO YOUR PC WTF WHY AM I YELLING

The cable I got was USB-C to USB-C to plug into the phone and the charging brick. The adapter I got was USB-C male/USB-A female so you could attach it to an old phone and transfer contacts. You telling me you got a cable/adapter that let you connect your new phone to your PC?? I'm even more pissed off if that's the case...poor distribution QA on top of the other issues too?!

Yes Google should have included a USB C to USB A male vs female for sure.

So Google is now responsible for you having a PC without the proper connections to plug your phone in?
Or are they responsible for you not being able to order a Micro USB to USB C adapter for a few bucks?
Which one is it I wonder...

I really want you to be saying this in a sarcastic tone, but since this is the internet and I can't read tone I'm just going to fly into a rage instead.
Are you seriously suggesting that once the pixel 2 comes out everyone on the planet immediately gained the ability to connect USB-C straight to their computers? Or is it that you are seriously suggesting that it is somehow nonsensical to at least include an extra adapter that mates this new cable type to everyone's existing computer connections? Yes we can purchase a crap-ton of adapters that get us from the phone to the ISS but for the minimal cost of this simple connection type and for the cost I paid I would expect that I would be able to connect my development machine to this device in the exact same fashion I've been able to connect EVERY OTHER DEVICE I'VE EVER HAD. They've all been able to connect to my PC out of the box. This is the first time I've opened a new device box and been at a loss for how to immediately get to working on it. Somehow I believe this was an oversight on the part of Google.

Sure sure. Totally an oversight on the part of Google that you did not check which accessoires come with the phone, totally agree.
BTW, what do you think of the included headset? I think the volume is much too low, I can't hear anything. On the other hand, I never had the cables twisted yet!

I... :crying: :silly: ... I'm dead.

My 200 dollar Acer laptop has a USB C port and the provided cable works fine for me. USB C is the modern standard that everyone is moving to. Is it that unreasonable to think that Google would provide cabling for the modern standard that most manufacturers are adopting?

I can't be more happy with this phone.
The only thing I'd improve is to have 4 years of Android updates instead of 3.
In development they will always be on the top because of the open binaries / developers previews etc.
However....I think that over the last years security became a top priority and now a lot of people don't open the boot loader. Even Google disabled android pay when you open it.
And the price is not in favour neither. I think Google needs to release a budget Pixel at lower price...something like 400-450$.

Theres the kernels and some homebrew ROMs.
Feels like this device is hard to work on.
TWRP now fails to decrypt after the February update.
A/B partition seems hard to support so theres no official custom ROMs for Pixel 2.
So far this phone is not what I would recommend for the serial flashers and customizers.
Just a normal phone for normal users.

I see development at Linage, at AICP for our device.
GApps are now available for Android 8.1. Many changes had to be made because of project Treble.
There is development, but for now many ppl look into things on their own and not as collective.

It's something we came up with at Citibank in about 1989 - update to an unused part of storage. If it works, point whatever is using that part of the firmware at the update and use the place the old version sat as the next update space. The update crashed right on the last byte? No problem. You haven't repointed to it, so it's just empty space until the next try. Better than a bricked phone because the battery died right at the end of an update. It's about time Google caught up to the late 80s. (Yes, that was sarcasm.) My only complaint is the SD card - I have to carry an adapter around with me, and keep the SD card and adapter in my pocket. 128GB internal and 256GB external would have been nice. (I already have about 50GB used, and that's with only one TWRP backup.)
Maybe it's time to flash a kernel with speed adjustment, although it seems to be idling around 430-450MHz.
