my TyTN II is not recognized by any PC

Guys,
need your help. Computers dont see my device even like usb device (i tried on several PCs). Normally windows flashes when see that usb device is connected, but in my case nothing is happenning. The same story with ActiveSync. PDA also just shows that battery is charging and doesnt show any signs that pc is connected. I've made several hard resets but it didnt help. Other functions work perfect. Please advice.

did you try a different cable? and check the usb port on your device

Yep, I did. I used different cables and tried on several computers. No success...

Go to start, settings, connections tab at the bottom. Click on USB to PC, uncheck advanced network funtionality. If it's uncheck try checking it. Also make sure that you have activesync version 4.5. If you are still unable to connect try disabling your windows firewall or norton, mcafee etc.

make sure Windows Mobile based device connectivity
is enabled in services.

I followed your advice and unchecked and checked it again. It didnt help. I also checked mcaffee, it doesnt conflict with activesync and before i didnt experience any problems with mcaffee and my pda connection. So the problem is not in win.firewall (disabled) and mcaffee. I use Activesync 4.5, build 5096. I think the problem is in my PDA, cause i tried to connect it to different computers and it wasnt recognized even as usb device as normally happens when you connect any usb device to pc.

if you dont see it, you may need to reinstall windows mobile device center

Did it ever connect?
Having the windows services started will not effect the device being detected as a USB device...it should at least show up in device manager.
If you have already tried this on several computers with several cables and have also tried unchecking the advanced USB functionality as described above, then I hate to say it but either you have no idea what you are doing (unlikely...as it's pretty simple to plug in a phone) or the phone is bad.
There are quite a few things that can stop the phone from Activesyncing properly....but not much that would prevent it from coming up in device manager.
You might want to try syncing over Bluetooth if your PC has it.

It worked perfect before, but recently ceased to communicate

You don't need that service... he is showing you a Vista machine and yours is XP.
And, as stated no running service is going to cause the device to not be seen via device manager, that is a low level hardware bus even before drivers for the device are installed (assuming the USB bus and host adapters work).
First work on getting it seen in device manager and then worry about how to get it to sync.

Check your USB port on the phone and see if the plastic core is straight across or curved down. If curved, the problem is likely the port itself.
If you have one of the HTC splitters that allows you to use headphones and charger simultaneously, try connecting via that.

i doubt its the usb port, im pretty positive its the service. My kaiser wont connect without the service under Vista. doesnt even show up as a generic device.

That is a service that is new to vista. XP doesn't have that service. But you are correct, mobile devices won't connect without it running in Vista.

Coming from a PC technician, test it with everything in McAfee disabled. Don't just assume there is no conflict because it doesn't report it. Although you said you tried it on several PC's so that would eliminate it as a suspect .
BTW, what changed when you noticed it was no longer connecting? New software, new ROM, etc... Is it still under warranty?

If there were no software changes preceding the problem, I'd go back and check the hardware possibilities. I can't think of anything that would disable the service unless you tried to run some type of system optimizer.

Hi,
This may help
> Start > Right click on My computer > Properties > Hardware (tab) > Device manager
It will open a list of devices , find USB controller ( Universal Serial Bus Controller )
Right click on it > Update ( or something like that ) . ( make sure your kaiser connected to pc through miniusb )
If it doesnt say anything about recognizing your kaiser. Try to delete (uninstall ) some ( or all ) of the items in USB controller ( above ) .
And then, update it again.
It worked for me most of the time when my pc dont recognize the device.
Goodluck

[Q] How to connect the Note to a Mac?

Ive been searching for a way to just connect the Note to a Mac via USB to have access to the camera and file system to grab some movies but can't find any solutions. I enable mass storage under settings but the Mac ignores it. Any ideas?

Hello,
i don't have any issue on my side, although i use different mac.
Have you tried to use "system_profiler SPUSBDataType" in the Terminal app ? It gives you information on linked usb devices of your mac. Does your phone appear ? What appear in the system profiler ?
Also, you can access your phone files from your mac over wifi, using Kies (installed by default on the Note) or airdroid (which i prefer personally).

Plug into your Mac. If unknown network notification appears on your Mac cancel network connection. Tap on USB connect in the notification bar on the Note and say yes when it asks if you wish to USB connect. Your external and internal SB cards will appear on the Mac as no name folders.
Alternatively you can download Kies here: http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
To use Kies after downloading and installing, turn USB settings, plug into the Mac and tap Kies connection when prompted in the notification bar.

[Q] Putting videos on your HTC ONE

Hey guys, question. Since this phone doesn't function in USB MAss Storage mode, what are my options if I want to take a movie I have on my PC and transfer it to the phone?

No. It's MTP. You need a recent Windows Media Player if you're using Windows. You should be able to use HTC sync manager.

My HTC ONE is shown as an add-on device and I can copy anything onto/ from it normally, by dragging / dropping. This behaviour is observed both in Win8 and in Win7. The phone itself is not rooted and it has a stock firmware

Agree, mine works fine once connected to a pc, I can drop and drag any file in any folder.
Mines also stock.

Couldnt agree more, i run Windows 8 (Laptop) and Windows 7 (PC) and on both machines, once connected my One, it comes up as a storage device in My Computer, so i drag and drop, Pics, Music, Vids to and from phone...

...but that doesn't make it USB Mass Storage.
It uses Media Transfer Protocol, something that could have better support on linux and mac.
For example, I doubt you could plug it into a digital picture frame or network media player and have it work.

If an animal walks like a dog and barks like dog...
Being a layman, I have no idea about what protocol precisely HTC One uses internally, and tbh I don't care since it works exactly like a normal USB device with both of my PCs.

I plug it in, it shows up in my computer, I drag and drop all my types of media into their folder and I'm good to go.

Good for you. However, it's not as easy if you're not running Windows 7 or Windows 8 because it doesn't support UMS, it supports MTP, so in this case it neither walks or barks like a dog.

I'm sorry if I sounded ignorantly offensive - but the initial question was 'how to put a video from a PC to the phone', right? You don't need HTC sync manager installed on your PC to do that, you just locate your phone among the devices, open it and just drag and drop your videos. (I believe I can assume the topic starter has a PC with Win8 or Win7 on it)
Sometimes too much explaining ends up in people deciding against buying something, if they encounter some strange acronyms...

If you're rooted, you can mount your phone through USB as a mass storage device in recovery. Assuming you are not, you can try something like AirDroid.

Please please please!!!

PLEASE BE CORRECT!!! I just booted into TWRP and my Win7Ult box shows the drive as USB but is not accessible. I'd like to copy over about 10 to 20 Gb of media at a time. In the good ol' days, I'd have a bunch of microSD cards, and just pop one in and the other out (1 minute flat, DONE!). But even just syncing, I always had the option to set it and forget it, moving over tons of audio, video, etc. via USB sync programs, such as SyncBack, which will not work with MTP.
So, here I am, wondering if you have some method I don't know about. MTP always stalls and hangs on that much data, and I don't want to use Windows Media Player, etc. just to copy media over (I don't use "libraries").
Will this work with TWRP? Must it be CWM recovery?

From my experience with TWRP on my HoX, it has a "Mount" feature where you can mount the SD through USB and it will be a Mass Storage device. Full speed transfers Try going into recovery and see if there is a Mount option. Should be under Advanced I think. I have not rooted my HO yet as I'm sending it for warranty for a faulty NFC chip

I had the same problem, but i just installed Android File Transfer, from android.com/filetransfer And it works perfectly

The One X started life as a UMS (USB Mass Storage) device on ICS, meaning it has a separate partition, MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) was added with JB.
The One started life as MTP with JB. There is no separate partition, supporting UMS is much harder as you'd have to emulate significant parts of the FAT filesystem and UMS protocol on top of EXT4.

Wireless Media Transfer: Cannot Pair With Windows 7 PC

I have a new Z3C and want to use the Wireless Media Transfer option but I cannot get the device to pair with a Windows 7 x64 PC (I've tried two PCs now). I have the device in MTP mode, but when I right-click on "Xperia Z3 Compact" and choose the "Network Configuration" option the wizard hangs while trying to transfer the settings. I even installed PC Companion, and made sure everything is up-to-date but I just cannot get it to work.
I want to use this feature so I can access my micro SD card without messing with the flaps: transferring music and tag editing using mp3tag are essential to me and I don't want to wear out those delicate little flaps!

Well I tried pairing wireless with Win. 7 and failed too, don't know exactly what's the problem. My suggestion would be to use ES explorer though. You can add your PC to the LAN tab by entering the internal IP and just copy to the internal memory (no SD card access thanks to Google). From there the preinstalled File Commander can move your music to SD.

Had the same issue on Win7, hang while transferring settings. On the 3rd attempt it did pair successfully. I noticed that windows was installing a device driver on the first pairing attempt, maybe that just needed to complete first.

The Transfer Settings stage does take a while, so it may just look like it's hanging. How long did you try it? Also you may need to allow portable devices access in your firewall (as the popup advises).

I left it a good 10 minutes. No drivers were being installed and no firewall popups appeared (I don't use the Windows software firewall).

Same here (64bit) win 8.1 I let it run until the 'can't complete' dialogue shows

Having the same issue here - anyone else fixed it until now ?

It happens to me at first... But if you will make screen time out more like 10 + min, while pairing configuration it does connect. Its because of screen goes off then it wont connect.

What helped me was making sure the screen didn't turn off, might be an idea too to temp disable Stamina while it goes through its process, it does take a while.

I had the same problem, solved it this way (hope I remember correctly)
on phone:
- set screen sleep to 30 minutes (Settings - Display - Sleep)
- turn off stamina mode (Settings - Power Management)
-plug into PC with USB
on PC:
- "Computer", right click "Xperia Z3 Compact" and select "Network Configuration"
- Click through with "Next/OK" until you get the screen that says something about "transfering settings" (or something like that) where it seemed to hang on previous attempts.
...and now the most important part - WALK AWAY!! Make a sandwich or something, come back in 30 mins and all should be OK - it's not actually hanging, just looks unresponsive while it does it's thing - be patient.
Good luck!

I did pair with PC using USB. The problem I have is that it hangs for 1 or 2 minutes while trying to connect to PC with WI-FI. Then it fails. I try for like 15 times, then for no reason it works. It only happens when I'm using my home wi-fi. I tried to connect with a friend's wifi, and it worked in a few seconds.

Help needed with file transfer

Hello everyone,
I am trying to transfer files from my computer (Windows 10) to my phone (Android 5.0.2), but it only says "preparing to copy" and then freezes there. Sometimes canceling the copy is enough, but sometimes it freezes the explorer so I have to disconnect the USB plug.
I tried with PC companion (which redirects to windows explorer), Media Go, Total commander. No success.
I saw that many people had/have this problem but I couldn't find any helpful answer though... So if someone experienced this and managed to get through, please help. I'm really desperate.
Thanks

Try transferring over Bluetooth see if that works
Sent from my Xperia Z using XDA Free mobile app

Bluetooth works. But I am trying to transfer through USB cable since I don't have bluetooth on my computer.

well, thanks to windows 10 for that :] If you would read they ToU you would know that they probably make copy of this data and send them to microsoft servers, that why its dont work :]
But seriously. go to device manager and check if your xperia is visible as device(in usb controllers and other devices)
If you dont see anything, keep this device manager window active unplug phone, plug it again and see the difference on list.
Then select this device, uninstall it from your PC, unplug your phone, and plug it again.
After next time you plug it all drivers would install again and try to transfer files again.
If this dont help check your phone with scan tool that windows have in proprietaries.
Also, because of flaps in our xz, I very often use WiFi transfer, its almost the same speed.
Plug your device, open Settings menu on phone , go to "Xperia connection" at the end you have "connection via USB"
There you have "associate with PC" click it and then go to your PC, My computer select phone(right click) and from list choose "configure network" wait for configuration(sometimes its stop responding, just leave it for few minutes).
After that you can connect to your phone just by clicking that "connect to Computer" in xperia settings.
You have access just like via USB to phone and SD card, speed is almost the same.

Hey Akinaro,
Thanks for your detailed response.
My device is visible as a device, I can access SD card and internal memory, well no problem there, I already uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers.
I also tried other USB ports but no success. Tried to use the cable with other phones, it works fine. Tried another computer, same problem.
When I try to plug the phone to rear usb port, copy works for like, one or files, then freezes. It then says that the device has been disconnected. Seems like the usb connection kinda drops...
I will try to associate with PC and let you know.
