[Q] Can't connect HTC one to Macbook Pro Retina - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All,
For some reason, I cannot get my HTC One connected to my MacbookPro Retina. I could in the past with my S3, but my new HTC One, I can't. I have android file transfer installed and even installed the HTC Sync Manager. I have USB Debugging checked also.
Every time I try to connect, the Android File Sync Manager starts, a folder to install HTC Sync Manager pops up, but AFSM don't show any folders at all.
Any pointers? Yes, I restarted the mac, the one multiple times, I uninstalled and reinstalled the AFSM 2x also.
Thanks!

Found out what the problem was...it was the USB cable? Isn't all USB cable the same? Why do I need the cable supplied by HTC?

Have you tried several other 3rd party cables?
I connected my HTC one to my 13' retina with other 3rd party cables and it recognized them normally. (one that came with a S3 and another cheap one for 5 bucks**)
Though it's not too uncommon for few manufacturer's cables to have compatibility issues
**my cheapo cable cannot keep a steady connection due to it's cheapo-ness.
NEVER BUY CHEAP

[Q] Samsung USB cable required?

I'm not sure why but my stock gb rooted galaxy note (LB1) will recognize a connection to any of my computers when I use the samsung usb cable that came with my note. I had the same problem with the vibrant when I had one and I thought when I rooted the note that would take care of this problem but I guess not. I also tried connecting via bluetooth but 2/7 of the bluetooth device drivers refuse to install. Why does samsung do this? It will charge in the wall with any USB cable, but only recognizable to the computer if it's a samsung usb cable? How can I get around this???!!!
And yes, I have latest kies installed, and yes, I have tried re-installing and restarting both of my computers running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
why does samsung do what? mine charges with any usb cable in the pc, the samsung wall charger is crap, i use my htc one

My computers will only recognize my Note if I use the cable that came with it. I have several generic, LG, HTC cables lying around and none of them work with the PC and the Note together. They will charge in the wall, but nothing happens when connected to a PC. I just tried a cable that came with a Kindle and that seems to work fine for whatever reason.
Lol that's funny as I use my kindle cable to charge and sync my note as well as it is twice as long as the supplied cable Samsung gave me. I keep that's as a spare for when I need to charge and I cant be bothered running upstairs lol

RND Sync/Charging Cradle

Does anybody have one of these? The syncing feature doesn't seem to be working for me. I contacted the manufacture and they sent me another one, which I got today, and it still doesn't sync or see my phone when docked and plugged into my computer. I was wondering if anybody else had similar problem with their dock. I can sync to my PC with out the dock just fine.
Also I know the cradle comes with 2 different cables, 1 for charging and 1 for data syncing/charging.

just got one today
I put my N2 on the charger and it seems to be working. I also tested MTP and PTP over a USB cable and it's working. I'm using Windows 8. sounds like you got a defective unit. I would recommend this charger so far.

Could you tell me what rom you're using? Also what Windows are you using?
The first one didn't work, so they sent me another one. The second doesn't work either. I've tried different USB ports. The ones on my case, motherboard, keyboard, and usb hub. Different ROMS including the stock rom. I've tried this on my PC, my laptop, and my HTPC. I've tried both the cables that come with it and the Samsung OEM cable that comes with our phone. What are the chances of getting a 2nd defective unit?
I just looked at my dock and looked on the bottom. It says CHARGER DOCK. Could you tell me what your says?

HTC One USB problems

Whenever I connect my HTC One device to my computer via USB, sometimes my PC recognizes it. At other times, however, the USB connection disconnects. It's as if there is a loose connection between the cable and HTC One device. Is there a way to fix this? Or should I replace the cable?

Might be a cable, or it might be an issue with the USB port itself. Not that the USB port is faulty, mind you, just simply that the phone doesn't "like" it. For instance, if I plug my phone using OEM/non-OEM cables into a blue USB3.0 port in the back of my motherboard, I can't use fastboot/ADB commands. However, if I plug it into a pink USB port(supposed to be used by my keyboard/mouse), then there's no problems.

[Q] Atrix HD USB - Fastboot Works, Android does not

I'm new to the Atrix HD, but have been around since the OG Droid (followed by a Droid 2, Droid 4, then Galaxy Nexus). I just picked up an Atrix HD for the first time.
USB works for fastboot - Windows 7 recognizes it, fastboot shows USB connected.
If phone is turned off, and connect USB to PC, phone boots up.
If phone is turned off, and connect USB to power adapter, it will charge.
Once booted into android, USB does not work at all. I've tried 2 different cables (both of which work to power it when connected to the wall charger) and 2 different physical machines across 3 different OS's - all with the same result. Once in Android, USB is not recognized. Nothing happens, no indication in the OS that a device is even detected.
I've tried RSD back to stock - but this did not resolve the issue.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Weird... Which Recovery are you using? Also, when did this problem started? Did you formated any partition? Any new ROM?

It was completely stock - OS and recovery.
I purchased it off ebay, so - I'm not sure when it started. I've been in contact with the buyer, and he said he never tried connecting to a PC.
With that being said, I was able to get it to work on my mac with a Nook cable. Same cable will not work in on my laptop in Win 7 or in Fedora 20 for this phone.
While not ideal, I was able to get the phone to it's desired state by using the mac (CWM recovery and CM11 ROM). After changing to CWM and CM11, phone exhibits same behavior still on Win 7 and Fedora when using a generic or genuine OEM Motorola cable (came with my Droid 4) as well as using the cables on the Mac. The only way it works is with the Nook cable on the Mac. Using the OEM or generic while attached to a wall adapter, the phone does charge.
The only thing I can think of with the Nook cable is that the connector is slightly longer than a typical USB adapter. I'm not sure why this works as I can not see any damage to the phone's USB socket.

This is really weird. But I think this is a hardware issue, even when the port may not show any signs of abuse or something like that. If you connect the OEM Motorola cable to the Mac, does it works? If it doesn't, it's very likely to be hardware issue. Also, you got it from Ebay, that's suspicious... Any way, another thing that you can do is download all Motorola drivers for Windows and try with a ton of USB cables.
Stupid question, but what exactly are you trying to do with it? And do you have USB debugging enabled?

Charging would be a good start, but file xfer would be nice too. I've tried with USB debugging both disabled and enabled.

Question Cannot See Phone on Computer

Hi
Just plugged my Android 12 Samsung S21U into my Windows 11 PC but nothing showed on the PC. I woke the phone and tapped on the "charging" notification but nothing happened.
Went to developer settings and set the Default USB Config (which was off) to "Transfer Files"
Set USB debugging to be on too.
Still no avail.
Any help?
Is dex working? Or maybe a driver issue?
I've just installed Dex.
Samsung said I should make sure the phone is in the correct MTP when using the dialpad to type in *#0808# - which it is.
Tried installing the drivers from the Samsung website (although the UK version of the site doesn't offer any drivers) - not working.
I can connect the phone using the "link to Windows" but this won't let me connect normally.
Both Windows and the phone are fully up to date with all the latest.
Just restarted the phone and can connect to Dex, although I think it's doing it wirelessly rather than through the cable.
Yes, have tried another PC (another W11 PC).
Yes, have tried another cable (both high speed purple and low speed).
Yes, have tried another phone on both PCs and that shows fine.
What worries me a little is that Device Manager doesn't show anything connected to the PC when I connect the phone.
Turns out you need the official Samsung cable, which is USB-C to USB-C only.
My PC doesn't have a USB-C connector so looks like I'm gonna have to purchase one.
Shame they've gone the Apple route - my old Huawei P30 Pro will connect for data transfer using any old cable, of which we have loads around these days.

Pretty sure this is false. My S21U gets recognized on my PC with a normal USB A to USB C cable.
Agreed. That is just not true, I've used a USB A to C worked fine
Hmm, maybe my three cables I tried are too old?
They're from Amazon and don't particularly state they work with Samsung phones.
The plot thickens.
