[Q] Can't Sync Anymore - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

I've never had any problems syncing my Calendar and Address Book with my HTC Vivid. Now, all of a sudden, my desk top will no longer recognize that the phone is connected via USB; even though I can see that it is charging, so it must have a connection.
The only change was an HTC security update to the phone a couple of weeks ago.
Any thoughts on how to get this thing to Sync again? TIA!

in settings hit "pc connection" or something like that and make sure usb charging isnt default

Check that you have your mobile drivers on your PC! If you have drivers delete them and reinstall! Then try to shove in your usb to another port! If it isn't work get another usb and try to sync!

active sync don't work and gmail don't either

my gmail worked fine until this morning when i plugged it into my pc using active sync, one thing i noticed at the time is that active sync didn't do anything, i didn't think anything of it because i was only on to charge my phone really quick, it's the fist time i've had my phone plugged into my pc in about 2 weeks, it worked fine before, but now active synt doesn't do anything every since this morning now my gmail doesn't send/receive, i looked at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357829&highlight=gmail+error and i get similar errors, "error syncronizing" and the pop up bubble that says cannot connect, and gives you the settings or dismiss options. i can't see were i can turn off active sync on the phone either, i'm using vista home and a tilt, any ideas on what this could be?
Not sure about Active Sync, but double check your gmail settings to be sure you didn't revert back to the standard ports.

Tilt sync issues along with PC crashes when disconnecting

Not sure when it started.. but for sometime now if i connect my phone active sync starts and looks like its going to sync my contacts.. and even after minutes and i mean more than 5 or 10 it still on the screen where its just thinking with the green icon spinning. Nothing ever happens, i lost my 300+ contacts during one of these attempts and dont ask how, but someone how it finally connected and i got them all back.. so im not looking to lose them again, since i cannt get it to sync..
Either way.. i have 2 issues..
#1 connecting the phone no longer syncs my contacts..
#2 when disconnecting the phone it will cause my pc to crash.. im sure this has something to do with maybe the USB driver.. but has anyone seen any of these issues and if so what suggestions do you have that i can try..
i have tried a few things to try and resolve my sync issue, but since i lost the 300 contacts and took me 3 days to get them back on the phone, im not looking to delete my partnership again so that i can lose them and run the risk of not getting them back on there..

[Q] Help : Advice or Instructions Needed Bad : USB Port Dead

I got up this morning and decided to sync some music over to my captivate. I was surprised when I started getting errors that the device was not recognized. After four hours of trying to get the phone to sync I put it back to as vanilla as I could and brought it to ATT. After trying a new cable and just about everything else the phone has been declared to be defective. My problem is how do I get this phone back to original without a usb connection. The phone is not recognized by Odin, ADB or anything else so as far as my knowledge goes I am out of ideas. The phone works fine other wise but I thought some of the brightest on here might be able to help. Any ideas guys?
Try a different USB port.
Mine only works in the back USB ports, but won't do **** in the front ones.
I probably should have been a little more clear. The port is defective on the phone. They can't even communicate with the phone at the AT&T store through the usb port with some reader. I am trying to get the phone back to resembling stock before i send it back for warranty.

Try downloading adbwireless from the market. It will allow you to use adb without a wired connection.

I have Windows 7 64x bit, and sometimes my connections seem dead, and I just uninstall and reinstall the drivers.
ADB wireless seems like your best bet right now
Thanks. Gave that a shot and I can connect to the phone. Now all I need to do is find the att apps.
try a factory reset and see if it recognizes your phone .

[Q] Wireless Sync broken after using Internet Connection Sharing?

Anyone else experiencing this?
Each time I use ICS on my HD7 (T-mobile stock with all current updates) my Zune wireless sync stops working, it simply never syncs with the machine regardless of power state or wireless signal strength.
If I connect via USB and reconfigure for wireless sync in the Zune software it functions perfectly from that point forward until the next time I use ICS, then the cycle repeats.
Anyone, Bueller, anyone?
same here
Thanks for posting your question. I didn't notice mine was not working until I saw your post and tried. So, this morning I went through the the brief wireless sync setup and I will report back if that fixed it.
Also, I have noticed after enabling internet sharing, sometimes I have to restart my phone before wifi will work again.
PS. I am running the Deepshining ROM v2 with TMOUS
working now
So, wireless syncing worked tonight after simply going through the setup process on zune this morning. Next I am going to enable/disable internet sharing and test again. I will report back soon.

That was fast. Wireless sync just happened after enable/disable of isharing. So it appears just re-setting of the wireless sync in zune is the fix. I will repost if anything changes. Hope this helps!
anyone
anybody else noticed this or have anything to add? I planned on resetting my phone tonight (which changes the MAC) and trying again.
I am going to consider mine fixed
I am going to consider mine fixed. Did a reboot and syncing still worked. Seems just going through the wireless sync setup again has fixed mine.
broken again
ok. I noticed today that my phone has not synced since 12/3. I'm not sure what has changed, but it stopped again. I re-setup wireless syncing through zune again, and it now working. I noticed that the first time my phone wirelessly connects to my laptop to sync, my laptop pops up and indicator saying a driver for my windows phone has been installed. I have not done much with my laptop since the last fix, so I thinking its more on the phone side.
Anyone have any thoughts?
running DS v2 with TMOUS and laptop has W7 home premium
I'm beginning to notice that the wireless sync is breaking regardless of whether I use ICS or not. I thought that was the correlation but no.
Perhaps thewireless sync is bound to the MAC and the MAC is changing after phone reset is the real problem?
Running 7720 TMO stock, haven't received 7740 yet so not sure if that resolves the issue.
The wireless sync problems is caused by random mac#, I had this problem too. Not sure when we'll see an update.
reset
I have confirmed the wireless sync being broken after phone reset. I also believe that is due to MAC randomizing. Knowing is half the battle.
yes you can.

Recover pictures with broken screen. Please help.

My wife dropped her phone and the screen is now completely dead but the phone still works as it gets notifications etc. I enabled google back up a while ago but looking at her account it hasn't updated since March. This mean about 1/3 of my son's pic's will be lost forever unless I figure this out. I've tried everything I can think of and have searched for hours but I cant find anything useful. I think I have some driver issues on my PC on top of this as it wont connect to my Moto X PE with MTP and USB debug enabled with moto's device manager software installed. Please help. I'd pay if I need to at this point.
Did you enable the app Google photo's? If so, your photo's should be backed up on the Google photo's site (just Google) check that site first on your wife's Google account before doing anything drastic.

Maybe its too illogical but install twrp... Boot into it and try accessing your internal storage on PC from there as twrp supports MTP.

Hopefully Svanmansom's advice helped and the photos were backed up with the Google Photos app. If not, there are ways to access the phone without a working screen, provided the phone itself still works as you suggest. If your computer truly doesn't recognize the phone either no matter what you try (reinstalling the drivers, trying a different USB port, etc), and another computer isn't available, it may cost a few bucks. Here is a general list of possible solutions:

And if your phone is locked:

I hope you were already able to get the photos much more simply. Good luck.
Hi, I have an idea, you could try to use a MHL cable to conect your device to the TV, once conected get to the playstore, then dowload Airdroid and back up your photos to you PC directly. This is a theory. Good Luck! =)
Thanks all for the tips. I bought an MHL cable only to find out the 2014 moto x doesn't support mhl. I had photos back up enabled but it apparently hadn't updated since March causing this whole issue. So far I still can't get the 2 PCs I have easy access to even recognize it in device manager. That joyofandroid site is what got me thinking mhl only to find it doesn't support it. Very frustrating, there has to be a way.
