Agree, it's just connectivity compability, windows 7/8/8.1/10 just allows to manage phone storage and upgrade its software.

Nexus One USB Connection Issue

Hello I just got my Nexus One (woot!). I connected it to my PC and the Nexus One keeps saying USB Connected then Disconnected over and over. Windows sees my phone (im on windows 7). anyone know how to fix this problem?
check and make sure the cable is plugged in good to the computer, im having problems with mouting the sd card in 7 it cant find the driver for the phone.
nvm it seems my monitor's usb port doesnt like nexus one
yours found the driver?
yeah it found it problem was that my usb port on minter didnt like nexus one and kept disconnecting it.. i plugged it in to a DIFFERENT USB port on monitor and now its working 100% solid. kinda funny actually
If youre having problems with the drive try downloading usbdeview (32-bit) (64-bit)
unplug your phone, run the program and select all items on the list with the word android in them, and uninstall them all. Then plug your phone back in and see what happens.
still nothing
I had to download the newest android usb driver in order to get it to work on xp.
You need r3 of the driver, which doesn't appear to be on the android site yet (I got it by installing the full sdk with the updater app and then doing an update).
You can get the driver here:

is there anyway someone can open access to this? i wanted to download it but it says access denied.
thanks

The problem can be the typical Nexus one. The USB port maybe damaged. I think my problem caused by the port. But for this I can't give a lot solution just this,you have to change the panel. I don't know how much is it. Anyone can give us a trick for that. And one more thing. For transfering files you can use airdroid. It's a really useful app.

You're using an 11 year old operating system that hasn't had a proper update in 4 years...
Probably a driver issue! IIRC ICS uses a different protocol for usb than GB, so that's probably why.

Sure xp is an old operating system but with the nexus prime i didn't have problems and it works fine. It' s a driver's problem but what could i do to solve it ? Thanks
plug the phoine in
go into device manager and remove the listed device with the error unplug phone an plug it back in and let it reinstall itself
if that fails, try it on a different pc if it works then you know its your pc causing it

You could try installing the drivers manually. Does a device show up in Windows' Device Manager when the phone is plugged in?

i installed drivers manually and i uploaded photo of Device manager
is the problem from my phone or from my PC ?
thanks for Help
sorry of the bad English not my first Lang.
Your device does show up in the device manager, so that's a good sign! Can you see what the exclamation mark means in the properties?
Same problem here...
Tried with another P880 on same computer and it was found.
ADB works, and access to SD-cards (internal/external) works just fine.
Only thing that doesn't work is PC Suite, it just doesn't find the rooted device.
Any ideas?
Which OS you are on? I am on windows 8.1 and i had to install Windows Media Feature Pack for N and KN versions of Windows 8.1 to manage to access phones memory.

I'm running Win7 (Home & Ultimate on two different PC's). Unfortunately that's only OS available ...
But I don't think that's the problem since there was no problems accessing or updating the phones before rooting.
I even tried one non-roted P880 (my gf's) on same computers without any problem.
the problem get solved :laugh::laugh: i just installed new windows
now how can i backup every thing even the app data i don't want to lose whatsapp and viber and games data in my phone because i want to install CM and remove the ****ty Stock ROM ? can any one help me please

Can't connect Nexus 6 via USB

Hello, I just received my Nexus 6 but I have a problem which also was also a problem on my old note 2. It won't recognize the drivers or install them. I did some test, it connected and instantly updated the drivers on another machine, so it's not the cable or the phone(A windows 7 machine), and it also works with my windows 10 tablet.
I also removed digital signature requirement for installing them, doesn't seem to work. I literally have no clue and did my research for about 1 hour to no avail. I must have done something way long in the past on windows 8.1 to flash my note and that ****ed up somewhere in windows, but I have absolutely no clue here.
Worst comes to worst, I'll just reformat, as this was an "upgrade" from windows 8.1.
Couldn't this be linked to motherboard drivers possibly?
Edit : http://puu.sh/jVpz1/38c5e640f8.jpg I tried manually to uninstall/reinstall, to no avail.

Delete all your android drivers, and try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
I removed 4 adb drivers and many samsung ones, installed with administrator settings the linked content, then it tried to install the nexus 6 via the default windows updated. Seemed to work, get the sound for connection, but no option to transfer my stuff. I tried uninstalling the drivers and re-installing, still nothing.

Been a long time since I did it. Have to download the google driver. Then go to device manager where you delete the Android driver. Right click and will ask for where to get the driver. Pick local to search PC for driver and install from there. That the best I remember off top of my head. On mine is Asus driver. I deleted it and then searched PC for the Google driver.

Yeah well I did that multiple times, which didn't work. I really don't feel like reformatting, ho boy, but I really gotta get this going. Thanks for the suggestion!
Try switching ports.

I tried switching ports.
Ok so the list of things I tried : Manually removing any drivers that had to do with android/usb phone, I reinstalled the drivers for my motherboard, I fixed every system inconsistency with ccleaner, removed android studio. I had also manually removed any prior detection fo the nexus 6 in the device manager. It will once again pop up the "driver install" from windows, complete, but be impossible to manually update via device manager as it doesn't recognize my device.
I'm also using the default cable from my nexus 6, and tried others. Is there anything else to do? Otherwise reformatting tonight. Thanks everyone for the support.
Hello, sorry to keep bumping this thread. I just reformat... and the problem still persists. I have no clue what to do anymore, I literally tried everything I could possibly think of.
Anyone got any ideas? To state again, I'm running windows 10 x64.
http://puu.sh/k0qiv/a4802d7e43.png
I just found that when I used the "reset pc" function of Windows, I still have remnants of adb. What am I supposed to do here? Any ideas how to remove them fully? Could that be the problem?
Nevermind, I did a total complete reformat now, still doesn't work. I'm literally out of ideas now.
Should I contact my motherboard manufacturer (MSI) ?
not sure what to tell you, but definitely samsung drivers and motorola drivers do not play well together very often

Not sure what you lost. I did an upgrade from 8.1 to 10. All my SDK, Java, adb/fastboot, Path Variables, ect remained intact. Depending on Make and Model of PC there have been a lot of drivers missing or needing updates. The PC should see the phone regardless of adb/fastboot status. It has to be a driver on PC side. The OS supports it. It should show as an Android device even if it doesn't say Nexus 6. Nexus 6 shows the Google Driver is good.

Have you tried a Windows update since the original boot. On my son's AZUS the touchpad driver was bad. It had changed driver to a Generic. Deleted that driver and ran Windows update and it found the new driver. Worth a shot. Hard to tell what to do. I couldn't see any differences after the Win 10 upgrade. Didn't even effect my dual boot Linux. My friend just lost lost the drive sync to his Linux setup.

Just an update, I cannot believe I found the problem while I kept digging.
Get this.
It was because I had Windows 10 N version. I am not ****ing kidding. Somehow the windows bloatware makes it so I'm unable to install phone drivers. It seems to be a recurrent problem because my friend has another phone and it did the same to him. How the **** is this a thing? Like, how could microsoft let such a **** up go by and there hasn't been a big controversy? Am I missing something?
I feel like the cheaper version of an OS gimping the user by removing such basic function as installing phone drivers is insane. But then you can fix it by installing the media pack for your respective OS, but you have to know that.
I'll leave this up if anyone ever searches for these terms.

tried all of that didnt help , it doesnt even have option to change to "MTP"
You sure your USB connection is switched to MTP? Drag down top task bar, it should give you that option when connected to PC. You on Windows or Mac?
