Today I deleted some programs off my SGS2 that were in the list in the SGS2 General Forum. My phone was able to connect to the PC before that. After I uninstalled the applications on my phone, it no longer tries to talk to my computer. I have reinstalled the drivers, restarted both my computer and phone, and still nothing. I am worried it was something I uninstalled but I doubt it. I was quite careful removing the programs using Titanium Backup and they were completely unrelated in my opinion. I have a feeling it is only coincidental.
Anyhow can you please help me troubleshoot what has happened? Thanks.
Perhaps it wasn't related. I figured out how to do it with USB debugging ticked. I never had to do that before. Originally it would connect automatically with USB debugging unticked. Now it only connects with USB debugging ticked and after I say that it is 'OK' pretty much.
Still, if anyone can shed some light on what I may have uninstalled let me know. Thanks.
may not apply to you since im guessing you tried it both times on the same comp with the same OS. i find that kies hates 64 bit OS. it just wouldn't connect on my desktop running win 7 ultimate 64bit but connects just fine on my laptop running win 7 enterprise 32bit. anyway... i usually have debugging mode on anyway, much easier for me to access the phone and sd card using explorer instead of stupid kies. kies i only use for firmware updates or atleast until i've rooted this thing.
Sorry I should have mentioned that I am using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. Thanks, shabs52. Good to know it could be my OS that is fumbling. I would have to agree as well, Kies stinks. I can't wait until I can get a stock OS without any crapware.
Anyhow it is strange how it worked for awhile and just stopped, but debug mode is better anyway.
Win 7 x64 Kies failed always .
Wiped drive brand new Win 7 x64 install Kies no problems = bad driver install or conflicts on original setup .

I'm having this problem too
Despite my Win7 64bits, Kies always connected automatically, both with SGS2 and my previous SGS. Yesterday my SGS2 started to behave strange: when I plug the USB cable it doesn't recognizes automatically (takes a few seconds), and only starts charging the battery, but the data link is not stablished (Kies won't even recognize there is a device connected). When I remove the USB cable the charging indicator continues to show as if it still was connected (again, for a few seconds). The same with the power cord. Since the symptoms were the same in my notebook (also Win 7 64) I tried it on a Win XP 32 - same thing (different USB cables). This makes me think the problem is with the device itself. Anyone have seen this?
Try deleting the drivers on your pc for samsung usb while the phone is unplugged. Then plug back the phone and windows 7 should automatically search and install the required files...worked for me with w7 64
I already did that, but the problem persists. Today some new symptoms "arrived", which led me to this other thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151863). The phone eventually enters car mode, or beeps and shows the charging indicator (even though it's not plugged). Weird. Will take to service tomorrow.
Im having this same problem with my epic touch. Was just wondering if anyone found a way to fix it.

Okay all. Usually I don't post and just lurk around here to find the answers to my issue. This time after reading 300 posts about Activesync and the TP my problem is still not resolved.
Up until last Friday I have been able to sync the TP with my computer running WinXP via the USB connection. I sync with my exchange server OTA but use the USB connection for file transfers. My computer won't recognize that the TP is even plugged into the USB now. It still charges, but doesn't do anything else. I've rebooted the machine and TP, reinstalled Activesync on computer, unchecked the "enable advanced network functionality" box, changed USB cords, verified that I have the correct three repllog.exe values in my notification queue, and even hard reset the TP. Still no luck. I would think that it's something to do with the computer except that I plugged my Mogul in to check and it synced instantly.
Does anyone have any more ideas why the TP would not be registering as connected? You all are amazing when it comes to stuff like this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
uninstall the Windows Mobile-based Device from the
network adapters section of Device manager on the PC.
control panel -> system -> hardware tab -> device manager button
restart pc and plug in the phone via usb and select active sync.
also the reason this may work in your case is i have had to do this for a friend.
windows installed the general rdnis driver however each device has a different
instance installed and thus the one device can have a corrupted driver yet the
other works perfect.
i see that u used another usb cable, cuz once it happened to me that the cable would charge but vista wouldn't recognize my TP "unrecognized USB device" , until i changed my usb cable!
Well I finally just went to a friend at the Sprint store and he swapped me for another TP. The new one works perfectly with the same setup that the other wouldn't. I can only guess that somehow the USB connection on my phone failed somehow. Just wanted to post this in case anyone else may have this issue in the future. Thanks for the responses.
This problem has happened on a friends, as well as just happening to mine (about 20 minutes ago). The usual fix which seems to clear it up:
1 - Hook up phone to computer
2 - On phone, start ICS (Internet Sharing in Start -> Programs)
3 - Select PC Connection "USB" and Network Connection of any type (if Sprint stock ROM, I recommend using "Sprint")
4 - Hit the "Connect" soft-key (bottom left)
If you've never used Internet Sharing on the phone, your computer should install some drivers... Once that is completed, click the Disconnect left soft-key on the phone. Now disconnect the cable from the computer.
Close out ICS or soft-reset the phone.
Once the phone is back up, plug it in - it should work.
I don't know what is getting reset in the phone, but unless I connect with ICS, then ActiveSync will not connect whether I soft-reset or not.
The same thing happened with my phone.... I took it to the Sprint store and they even tried a hard reset. It worked once after that then again it wouldn't sync. So they just replaced mine.... It was like you said.... some malfunction in the phone itself.
Hope HTC can figure out why this is happening.
Touch pro not sync
I can sync with my Vista Laptop and my friends xp machine but not to my xp desktop. I have tried many different cables. Each time I try something new, I toggle the "enable faster data synchronation box on USB to PC on try to sync then off then try to sync.
I have tried to delete all the usb drivers and rebooted to let the computer put in a new set.
I have tried to delete all the non running programs in my device manager using view hidden files.....
I have uninstalled active sync and then reinstalled it.
I have hard reset my phone a few times to no avail.
I went and bought a blue tooth adapter so I could sync using blue tooth and this computer does not do a good job of recognizing the adapter, but it did recognize it the first time but, could not pair the two. my blue tooth adapter is now coming up as a an unknown device
when i hook up the phone this is the message i get:
USB not Recognized,
One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message....
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kent
MCW junior member THANKS....
thanks so much, this worked for me I could not sync my tasks or calendar, once I did what you said here I did get and Error Code 67..then cannot connect saying remote party has ended this connection...whatever that means...but anyway it proceeded to start automatically resynching and walla..all of sudden my tasks and calendar were on my computer ....first time I was ever on this forum ....I shall continue reading and learning here...so appreciate your help...I love my HTC Touch Pro and have just figured out how to connect to my big screen tv with only an MP3 or the like cable...works beautifully...except picture on tv is not the clearest...I will work on perfecting that next if it is possible...
Then I want to figure out how to get the phone connected to my computer screen, just like I did to my TV...then your phone acts as a controller...it's so cool!!

Ok I just found a solution for this, at least under Vista.
Click Start > Settings > Connections (tab)
Choose USB to PC
Once I removed the check mark next to "Enable advanced Network functionality" and clicked OK, my PC immediately saw my TP.
Hope this helps someone.
so what does the faster syc option do?
Ok so I searched the internet and found the advice to turn off the faster sync option on the phone.
After trying everything else I figured what the heck..
So it worked.
(btw windows adds a dif driver rather then the window-mobile baised device driver... )
So what does this option do? What does it point to being the problem on the computer?
Thanks,
HA>!

yeah i was having the same problem...my cpu would just recognize my phone as a mass storage device... Read your solution. And it worked... Damn i feel like a moron should have checked. Thanks!
I am having the same problem except the enable advanced network functionality option is checked and grayed out so it can't be unchecked.
I am running a 6.5 rom...
Any suggestions?
Solution solved
If you go to Settings->Connections->USB to PC and uncheck Enable faster data synchronization.
You will notice below that it will say "(Clear this check box if ActiveSync does not recognize the device)"
Once I did this it worked perfect.

Think of this step as telling your tp to quick boot/sync if nothing between the device and the reciving pc has changed (ie: hardware, software etc.
Enables faster syncing and quicker connection and authentication between pc and WM device. Reason for unchecking this to make it work?, by hard-reseting or changing specfic phone information you've reset specfic settings that are registerd with your pc.
i was having this problem with my sprint tp2 and tried it and worked. wish i would of learned if before reseting my computer and losing some windows i had open and the hard reset on my phone and losing all my contacts now i gotta go back to sprint store to get them again.
Works on the Touch2
I had this problem, which was driving me nuts especially as it was intermittent. I found Dashrender's advice and followed it except for turning off "Enable faster data synchronisation". Brilliant, works perfectly, thanks.
But what are HTC doing putting something in the software that fouls things up?
I knew i wasnt loosing my mind!
I have been workn on phones for a while. And have just been freakn about these same Issues Sony vio with 64bit vista. Thanks for all the tips. only took 6 hrs of pain to figure it out myself.
I have a similar problem now with my USB to PC . i have used this usb cable for many flashes but now when I plug it in, my computer doesnt recognize the usb device. also TV-Out pops up on my phone too. what is that all about? i dunno what to do
just found this thread searching for why my tp2 wouldn't sync. somehow under usb to pc i had it set to disk drive instead of active sync. checked it and works like a charm, can even see it in my computer now.
HI Guys,
I've got a really annoying problem with my TG01. When i have it connected to the computer it will not stay connected in ActiveSync mode. It connects for a minute or so then will just disconnect on its own.
I've tried using the advanced funtionality selection and without it but the same occurs.
It's not an issue for syncing as i sync using the Gmail push features so this occurs wirelessly, but the issue occurs when copying files across to the phone as it will disconnect while transferring.
Also when i put into USB storage mode it seems to freeze the computer - sometimes it doesn't and will just open up fine.
Has anyone else experienced this issue or know how to fix it - it's driving me insane...
Oh i'm using Vista X64 and Windows Mobile Device Centre if it helps.
Cheers
Paul
@paul
I've encountered an identical problem after flashing the new update UK-ROM(on xp and activesync), I managed to resolve it somehow, unfortunately I cannot remember which way... Something in activesync settings & device id, I guess...
Try other name for device id, my advice...
I use my TG01 on a Mac. Unless I plug the TG01 into a USB port on the machine directly (strictly no USB hubs, even powered ones) I get this problem, whether using Mass Storage mode (allows direct access by the Mac OS to the SD Card as normal) or ActiveSync mode (which I can connect to a 'virtual' Windows XP machine running under Parallels in a Mac Window) for those programs (Apps?) that need to be installed via ActiveSync.
May be an obvious suggestion, but have you tried different USB sockets?
Failing that, do you have Internet Connection Sharing switched on on the Windows machine? Could any Anti-Virus software be trying to block the serial ports on the TG01. Or have you any other Sync or virtual serial port drivers (Satnav, Palm, iPod etc) or similar type of sync software running that might be periodically polling the USB ports?
Time for a handset swap

I had the same problem with my first TG01. Only solution I could find was to get Orange to swap the handset for another one.
I do think that it's a hardware problem as (1) my replacement handset never displayed this problem, despite having the exact same software/configuration and (2) an internet search on this problem showed at least one other user resolving it with a handset replacement.
Thanks for the suggestions guys - checked Virus scanner and Firewall but the same is occuring.
Looks like i'll have to give Orange a call.
Will they swap it for a new one or will it be a refurb? And how long does it take?
Also i am a contract customer but bought this phone on PAYG and just swapped the sim over - will they still be ok with replacing it?
Well i recieved my replacement this morning and have another replacement coming tomorrow.
The replacement was scratched and scuffed on all its corners, it looked like it had been dropped and one of the corners is coming apart.
The first call i made, the other person said they could only hear screeching like bad feedback between mic/speakers.
Not happy.... Let's see what the next replacement is like..
i found a way to make the tg01 staying connected to a pc: goes in setup/connections/usb to pc then uncheck the advanced fonctionnalities.

Tried that mate - it was a fault with the handset, the replacement connects fine, but is in poor condition and people can't hear me - so this ones going back too.

Well that's not very fair!! I always keep a screen protector on and only keep my phone in an empty pocket so if I simply put a cloth over it, I could pass it off as brand new! Now what happens if I need a replacement? I would expct to receive one in the same condition as mine Did you have to send the original first or did they send you a replacement and then you send yours back?
yh guys

Yes, It's very annoying, I've been using Windows mobiles for ages and never have had this problem before. On TG01 with WM6.1 and WM6.5 as well, Active Sync cuts the connection after few minutes, randomly.
I've tested different programs to connect TG01 with PC like Pocket Controller (different revisions) without success. That's something related to TG01, because I have a Xda Flame and I can connect perfectly and indefinitely with it (I use XP Professional and ActiveSync 4.5.0) .
The only roundabout that I've found is connecting to PC towards Wifi instead of towards USB port (TCP/IP Connection). With Pocket Controller I can see my TG01 on the PC screen an edit text, interchange files, perfectly even if my device is in another room....
This is an issue that should be fixed with a coocked ROM ( but perhaps it's related to a hardware problem.. who knows?)
Cheers
If you are using vista or win 7 set up to your phone the "usb mode" at "activesync mode" without checking the "enable advanced.....".
Plug your phone to the usb port and go to the "device manager" of your pc, look where it says "mobile devices" click on it and at "microsoft usb sync"
do right click with your mouse and select uninstall driver. Your driver will be uninstall and after this will be reinstall alone.
To the new driver right click with mouse and select update driver, after a while it will give you the message that no updates found.
Close it leave to pass 2-3 minutes and go run "windows update" with your phone pluged on pc (don't unplug the phone on all the steps),
you'll see that is an update about 11mb (if you haven't allready install it) both for pc and phone. Your phone will be connect but maybe in future have the same problem,
in this case you uninstall and reinstall the driver from device manager and will be connect.
Now if you want to transfer files from pc to phone is better to set the "usb mode" of your phone at "mass storage mode" and transfer them at sd card.
Today i plugged my phone to the usb cable and instead of getting the usual connection option screen... nothing... The phone charges but no Data transfer. Did hard reset, still nothing.. now im stuck with the old firmware... any help plz?
might be the cable that you're using. i used before a cable that is not the original and the same thing happened to me, i.e. pc cannot recognize device.
Try Settings-->Other-->USB To Pc-->UNCHECK (enable faster data sync) this should help...
cable : original came with the phone (used to work up until b4 yesterday) also tried another micro usb cable that came with me N900 but still nothing.
I did the un-check "enable faster sync" still nothing
Did soft reset, hard reset using volume keys, and factory reset from phone setting itself. still nothing.. the phone charges.. but no data transfer.. its something to do with the phone because i tried multiple PC's the phone doesn't bring up the connection type option page

No harm in checking.Infact i faced similar issue once and the USB2 was disabled.It took me an entire week to diagnose the problem.These PCs have got a mind of their own and do mischievous things on their own without our knowledge.
But since its not working on multiple PCs,i am not sure.We'll hav 2 wait 4 a solution i guess...
hmmmm.. would a full system format and re-install be possible? and would it fix it? (talking bout on the phone)
HELP, HELP
SAME PROBLEM WITH HTC2 T0MOBILE
even on the boot loader screen, it charges but no USB stuck on serial.
even when on sleep mode and plug the cable orange led is on but it didn't wake up for choose (active syn or stoeag memory)
PLEASE HELP
i can do nothing, HSPL or rom upgrade
the cable and the USB drivers are tested more than 100 times
Most horror problems I had with the USB sync have been down to not having the latest version fo Activesync from microsoft. Uninstall the old version thwen reboot - now download the 4.5 version which I think is the newest and last version they made (unless im out of date) and then reboot the machine, then connect up the phone - but not immediately after the machine has booted wait a couple on mins, Windows takes longer than it often appears to be ready to go. One your hard drive led flashing light has settled down it is probably time to try. Then see if it finds all the devices in your phone.
If it doesnt go into the control panel and double click system, hardware tab, then select device manager and see if there are any devices with a yellow sign with a "!" in them. If there are delete them and then unplug the phone and plug it back in again. It might get past some stuck things. If it doesnt see anything new on device manager theres a menu at the top and look for "scan for hardware changes" this gives teh device manager another look at what its got connected.
If that fails open up the USB section under in device manager - its got a little plus next to it, press that plus and it open up all the names of chips you have for your USB control on the pc's motherboard. Write down the numbers and go and get the correct up to date drivers for that type of USB and install them. Then try the process again. Sometimes deleting the USB drivers and just doing a "scan for hardware changes" again, will reset the USB drivers and start things working, however it can get tricky if your using USB mouse and Keyboard to select anything if you delete the USB, because thats what the KM/mouse relies on to control teh machine, so have a PS2 mouse plugged in if you can. If that fails I would suggest reinstalling windows as its probably knackered. It amazing how things start to work wonderfully on a fresh copy of windows.
I have been where you are! And tried every suggestion that was given here. It all came down to the cord. I actually went through 3 different cords before I found one that worked and found that by accident. I bought an external drive and that cord works. For whatever reason, that is the only cord that now works for me. I only use it for data transfers. i use the other cords for charging.
Sorry but, believe me, I've been dealing with this all week and I have read every post possibly pertaining to this subject, but I can't find a fix.
Went to flash the latest Bionix and PC (Windows XP-32/64-Bit HP) won't recognize my Vibrant. It's the only machine I've ever used with this phone. I plug in and get the USB icon and the Android Debug icon in the menu bar. Pull it down and it says "USB Debugging Connected" & "USB Connected". I can "Connect USB Storage" if I like, and it says "connected", but it's never recognized by the PC no matter what.
I can go into "Media Player" mode and "KIES" and same thing, it's just the USB icon instead of the Green Android. I've changed cords. I've used all the ports, front & back. Flashed back to Nero-5. I've gone into download mode and ODIN doesn't pick it up either.
32-Bit drivers are updated, but I've been doing a lot of install/reinstalls. The last thing I did on this device was flash Bionix-V. A couple weeks later I updated my wife's stock Vibrant via KIES.
What the hell can I do now? Thanks
edit...nevermind, sorry...at least i bumped you!!
Ha! Thanks TS10. And Mounting was certainly part of the problem. I could connect the USB storage and, in fact, it would say “connect” on the phone (“You can now transfer files between your SD card and PC” or something close to that), but it would still not show up on the PC. That’s what was driving me CRAZY.
But get this… Late last night, out of total frustration, I plugged the cable into a USB hub, that was connected to a removable HDD, and suddenly the Vibrant was recognized. I couldn’t believe it. I had plugged directly into that same USB port, on the back of the machine, at least 6x. Why the hell would it connect through a USB hub?!
I have no friggin’ explanation. But I’m running the latest Bionix now! At least I though that until I just check in here.
I installed Kies on my desktop but couldn't get the phone to recognise (driver issues I think). So I tried it on my laptop instead, and when the window opens it is empty. I can't post links yet but you can see an image a:

Believe me, I have been through all the stuff about USB drivers. That isn't really the problem though, they work fine on my laptop, it is Kies that doesn't.
Google turned up nothing. I can't be the only one having this problem though. The window is literally blank.

Basic troubleshooting, uninstall and reinstall. kies is that messsy.
Thanks, did the uninstall-reinstall thing, no joy. Sigh...
I have a feeling there might be an issue with the phone itself. I have noticed that Kies mode doesn't work if I have Launcher Pro loaded. I have to switch the default back to the Samsung home screen and reboot the phone for it to connect to Kies, but even then it fails to update. Maybe there is some other bit of software on there which is also causing issues.
