[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Anderson:
I have frequent driver errors when plugging the SGSII into a Samsung netbook. Sometimes it detects the device and mounts it, sometimes it has a problem with not recognising the device.

I find that going into the windows Device Manager, disabling then re-enabling the device will force it to reconsider the driver situation and eventually it will reinstall the drivers successfully. Sometimes it take several goes but it does work sooner or later. Swapping to a different USB port also works sometimes, but only one of the netbook ports supplies power when switched off so I tend to favour that over the others.

You can also try switching on USB debugging mode on the SGSII (in developer options) which I think makes the phone mount differently and may be more successful using a different driver.

I'm not a computer expert, so I don't fully understand what is going on. I just know it works for me - I have no idea whether this will help you or not but I thought I'd share my experiences just in case...

Hi Sorry for my English!

My Galaxy S2 connects with PC(Kies detects the phone). but its not charging and the status is showing charging......

somebody please help me.... :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manpreetsingh46:
Fixed

To fix this you need to use the Kies software and then boot your phone in Samsung recovery now ( turn off the phone now press middle button + -ve volume key +power button) go to "tools" in Kies software then select "Firmware upgrade and initialization" wait for 30 sec and then disconnect the phone and restart the phone by keeping the power button pressed for 5 seconds till the phone restarts. once the phone comes back up connect the phone to the USB cable and it should work.

Note: This issue happened when i tried to upgarde my rooted phone from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 and it got stuck at 99%.

Please let me know if the post helped any one else

:crying: Unfortunately only solution for this issue is to replace usb connector, because some pins get loose and then not connect properly.

Had the same problem and this is how it's been solved.

Hi I have the same problem on my Galaxy s2, running jelly bean . I think it started after i installed the new firmware update. i have tried everything to fix this phone but nothing works :(. have you managed to fix yours yet?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LupulAlb611:
I also had that problem. my issue was with the MTP drivers not recognized by the PC. i could charge the phone thru Pc,but not conecting it. still plugged to the laptop,i removed the battery and then put it back. After that win7 did recognized my phone,and MTP worked. i will also try to clean usb port on the phone :D

Later edit: I found a solution for this issue. I will try to make an easy to follow tutorial. I am sorry for my English.

- Go to Settings,then access More settings.

- Press USB utilities.

- You will see a short description of USB mass storage and you will see an option that is saying " connect storage to PC",press it.

- After that you will receive a message "Connect USB cable to use mass storage". First plug USB cable to the phone and then connect it to the PC. I have tryied several time to connect the phone until he finnaly accept the USb cable connection. try to change the usb ports if USB device not recognized error message appear.

Same problem with Note 2

I have same exact problem with my Note 2, i did everything to avoid format but not working,

then after doing Factory reset it's works great for 2 months,

Then suddenly same problem again "Not recognized by pc", charging Ok, no usb icon in status bar when i connect to usb 2.0 port, but when i connect to usb 3.0 port, usb icon showing in status bar with USB options and still not recognized :(

I tried factory reset but not working this time.

I think it's maybe hardware problem although after i changed usb port

Any suggestions??

It Helped me

Well, I too had the same problem today. Saw many solutions but only one worked fine, i.e. turn off ur phone & take out ur sim, mmc...keep it like this for abt 30 minutes then switch on ur phone. It worked for me..Dnt think d problem is with ur cable or pc...its just a small defect in the phone itself...This tip may not work for all but its worth to give a try. Thank you

Check Cable

1. Check if you have selected the proper USB mode in settings

2. Make sure your USB cable is working. Because, there are fake/cheap cables out there.

Rooted Android ,its only charging not getting into USb mode or sd card mod

I rooted my mobile, Titanium S1, Now it has LEWA Rom 14.07.11.

What I found is after erasing certain Gapps(Google apps),I was not able to connect it to my pc,

After some Time I realize that It was due to removal of those applications,

So I installed GApps zip again in recovery Mod And everything got right....

Keeping this post just in case someone faces the same problem ,can go through this...

I have a new problem with my 4ext recovery, When I try to backup my rom I get an error:

"Error!This is no valid folder name!"

I am kinda new to the 4ext recovery I just switched from CWM however I have been using 4ext for over a month and been flashing and backing up just about any new rom that gets added to this site. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is the backup folder on the SD card still there?

Read, Search, Read again, ... Then Ask with Tapatalk 2
[HTC EVO 3D] spirithandler:
First of all your getting that error because your choosing restore backup and there is not a clockwork folder on your sd card. Choose create backup and 4ext will create the folder and make a backup.
[HTC EVO 3D] mike1114:
Wrong! I am using 4EXT for backups and recoveries have been for months if you read my post. Secondly I only mentioned clockwork to let you know that I wasn't fully familiar with 4EXT and I would need some guidance. So thank you for your input but it was not helpful.
[HTC EVO 3D] mike1114:
What would the path be? And what is the folder name?

I found the 4ext folder at : sd/4ext

There are 2 other folders in there called Control and Screenshots.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Believe it or not, it's sd/clockworkmod/backup

[HTC EVO 3D] spirithandler:
Thank you!
[HTC EVO 3D] mike1114:
The folder is there and I am still able to use cwm for backup and recovery initiation and then 4ext picks up the process but I would prefer to just use 4ext. I have tried uninstall reinstall but I belive I flashed 4ext and I am unsure how to remove it then reinstall??:confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
You don't have to remove it. You just overwrite the old with the new. The easiest way is by using the 4ext app if you are using a rooted ROM.

Wow, someone tries to help you and that's how you treat him?

Shaking my head in disbelief.

Gotta hand it you Coal, you got patience.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
That's because being helpful requires patience. If "help" came with an abrasive expectation of a submissive and kind and calm person asking for help, a LOT of xda folks in a tough spot would never get helped.

Sure, in general, if someone is reaching out to you, you should be thankful and nice, but not everyone is. I've probably helped thousands of people on xda, and the attitude of mike1114 (while not stellar) is FAR better than some I've seen.

How about we all just help if we feel like it, and not if we don't, and if you're a spectator, there's NO reason to give hi-5 posts to guys who help, while calling the one asking for help a jerk. Do that, and now you're the jerk.

Carry on.
[HTC EVO 3D] zcink:
not so stellar response myself

OK, I'll take your advise to heart. If we don't feel like helping, then don't.

You won't have anymore problems with me helping anyone else. I won't.

Thank you.

[Galaxy S II General] kldoc:
Hello, i'm posting about this rom only as a regular user.

A few of us are forced to use either stock, either custom rom due to the camera being half broken, this because of a rare camera module, for us under AOSP rom. And Divine rom, is the only custom rom we have to get a working camera along with customizations. There are no other roms available for us.

I understand the complaint, but in some way, would it be possible that us, users, don't get punished by having no custom rom at all to use ?

I9100G is already disliked a lot by the community, we really have only a few devs. I am using a chinese I9100G with nearly no options to have my phone working properly along with google services, and if Divine rom gets banned, i would really have no options for my phone. I understand perfectly the complaint from devs coming from I9100, but i think, that with proper edit including credits to the original developer, it could avoid lots of users getting punished because of that.

Only a random user point of view :)
[Galaxy S II General] Gabrieltan:
i do understand how i9100 developer think... but, please do not due to this problem and stop develop divine rom... seriously, it is much more better than aosp/aokp rom (in my opinion)... i do think, it is much more better just let the developer know what is the problem and do not cause any fight....
[Galaxy S II General] ronhoover88:
I agree most of them like a custom firmware based on Samsung rom. Would be great for the devs here to use Samsung base for any custom rom. Would be even more great while porting to ask for the owners permission.
[Galaxy S II General] LegendK95:
I'm sorry, but, with further investigation, Divine ROM steals from 3 other ROMs, that's unacceptable for each ROM developer, so don't mind 3 of them.

I am the developer of the ROM which Divine stole the most from, believe me, the months I spent perfecting them makes me even more mad about someone stealing the work.

[TouchPad General] sayeef:
Can anyone help me out in this situation?

I sent in my touchpad to get repaired for cracks near the speaker but I had CM9 installed on it and it voided the warranty :(

My Touchpad was dead and I didn't have my charger for it so I couldn't wipe everything with webos doctor.

Today I got a letter in the post from SBE Ltd saying that my Touchpad couldn't be repaired the reason was ''Unauthorized software upgrade - Warranty void'' The faults found were Housing Rear - Cracked and Wrong Software version. The parts to be changed or repaired are replacement case and Software update

I was wondering if anyone could help me out in this situation. They want £294 for the Touchpad to be repaired because the warranty was voided and all they need to do is doctor it and replace the rear housing. They also are charging me if I want the Touchpad back unrepaired!

Is there anyway I can get my Touchpad repaired or sent back to me for free? I was thinking about playing dumb when I call them up but I don't know.

Please help me out
[TouchPad General] cvcduty:
I think your options are very limited... if any.

There is a reason why devs make it clear in their statements that you are doing the modding at your own risk.

We all know that by modding and loading a custom rom you did not cause any physical harm to the device... it's the fall that broke it.

It's just that the OEMs (HP in this case) are using the "unauthorized software use" as an excuse to deny you the warranty service.

I personally do not agree with this policy but they set it up this way so they can wiggle out of warranty repair when ever possible.

I hope others have better news for you but I think you are SOL... Sorry...
[TouchPad General] sayeef:
Thanks for your reply.

I'll call up the repair company sometime this week. :(

I didn't even drop the Touchpad. It was always in the official case. I think it's a known hardware defect.

Shall I ring them up and deny ever installing any unauthorized software and act stupid?
[TouchPad General] -SGA-:
You need to actually read your warranty, and tell them of your interpretation of it. Be forceful that un-authorized software is not stated in the warranty as being an exclusion.

I have attached a link to your warranty information here:http://www.hpwebos.com/us/support/contact/LimitedWarranty_HPwebOS2011.pdf

Put particular emphasis on these areas:

HARDWARE: HP warrants to the original purchaser

(“Customer”) that new HP branded hardware products will be

free from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal

use, for one (1) year from the original purchase date, and that

refurbished HP branded hardware products (marked and sold

as such by HP) will be free from defects in workmanship and

materials, under normal use, for ninety (90) days from the

original purchase date.

EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES: Should a covered defect occur during

the warranty period and you notify HP, your sole and exclusive

remedy shall be, at HP’s sole option and expense, to repair

or replace the product or software.

They may argue this:

EXCLUSIONS: This Limited Warranty does not apply (1) to

damage to the surface of the product, including cracks or

scratches on the LCD touchscreen or outside casing; (2) to

damage caused by misuse, neglect, improper installation,

storage or testing, unauthorized attempts to open, repair, or

modify the product, or any other cause beyond the range of

the intended use; (3) to damage caused by accident, fire, dirt,

sand, moisture or liquids, power changes, other hazards, or

acts of God; (4) to damage caused by use of the product with

any non-HP device or service if such device or service causes

the problem; or (5) if any HP serial number has been removed,

defaced or altered.

But you should argue this:

EXCLUSIONS: This Limited Warranty does not apply (1) to

damage to the surface of the product, including cracks or

scratches on the LCD touchscreen or outside casing; (2) to

damage caused by misuse, neglect, improper installation,

storage or testing, unauthorized attempts to open, repair, or

modify the product, or any other cause beyond the range of

the intended use; (3) to damage caused by accident, fire, dirt,

sand, moisture or liquids, power changes, other hazards, or

acts of God; (4) to damage caused by use of the product with

any non-HP device or service if such device or service causes

the problem; or (5) if any HP serial number has been removed,

defaced or altered.

Tell them to explain how an "un-authorized" operating system caused material defects in workmanship!

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

They may also argue that installing the "un-authorized" software does not constitute "normal" use. You should then argue what the interpretation of "normal" is. I would suggest that after discontinuing the product and support, and a large percentage of users running android on their Touchpad's, that normal use would be installing Android.
[TouchPad General] sayeef:
Thank you so much for pointing that out. I thought all hopes were lost.

Shall I try it with the Palm live chat first? I'm not very confident when trying to get my point across over the phone. (I'm only 15)

When or if I call them up, could you tell me what to say to them and how to start the conversation?

Sorry for so many questions.
[TouchPad General] jsgraphicart:
How much are they charging to send it back without repairs? Its hard to believe they would charge you anything other than shipping costs.
[TouchPad General] cvcduty:
I would start the conversation straight out saying that you do not understand why they are denying coverage based on "un-authorized" software... I would have them explain to you how this has caused damage to the device. Have them prove that your TouchPad became defective as a direct cause of the custom rom usage. If they point to the fact that this is was a "improper use" or "improper installation", I would argue that point as well... have them define what "improper" use means. To me, that implies using the device for purposes other than what it was originally designed for... as in tablet PC Vs... a frisbee.

The fact that you used the device as a tablet pc (as intended) but with a "improper installation", is fishy and sketch at best... ultimately, I would argue that the use of "improper installation" had nothing to do with a known manufacturing defect (cracked case).

And a trick I usually pull is if the guys/gal helping you seem uncooperative, ask for the supervisor or manager... often times, I find that they have the authority to make the call on cases such as yours where as the tech support person might have to clear their decisions with their manager. Basically, it would be harder for that manager/supervisor to give you the bad news (I hope otherwise) Vs. having another person tell you on their behalf.

Good luck...
[TouchPad General] sayeef:
I've just had an hour long chat with one of the reps on the live chat

http://pastebin.com/KJC3nLmT

They were no help at all
[TouchPad General] -SGA-:
They sure are a difficult bunch... it seems like they cannot be reasoned with at all!

It would seem that the implicit meaning of the conversation is that they don't care what you do software wise with the Touchpad, as long as it arrived in the repair facility with WebOS on it.

It seems like you are in a difficult situation with your device already being in for repair. What happened with the voice call escalation?
[TouchPad General] sayeef:
£20 for the device back without repairs. Blasphemy.

Thanks for the information. Much appreciated.

Can you look through my chat log with HP and tell me how I can improve?

Thanks
[TouchPad General] sayeef:
I didn't bother with the voice call escalation because I'm from the UK and the rep from Palm is from the US

I might call up tomorrow. Shall I call them both up (HP and the company that is repairing) or shall I only call up one?

Once again, thanks for everyone helping me out in a situation which I thought was impossible to get out of
[TouchPad General] lifeisfun:
This is unbelievable

What a bunch of pricks.
[TouchPad General] -SGA-:
I tried the web support and was drawn to a similar conclusion. It is easy for them just to say "no" and say it is because of policy; I'd say it is a standard answer.

Anything for them to get out of honoring the warranty... what a bunch of criminals. At least they will ship it back to you. The representative I spoke to said that sometimes it can take months for it to be returned!
