i thank you for bringing back an old repressed memory....back to the topic, i have yet to receive the update...im hoping htc did some actual work rather then take code from these hardworking devs but with several people stating that its only 53fps it sounds more then likely they just scavenged what worked and pushed it out

my cousin hopped on forums left and right to let people know the devs found a way around the fps cap with total disregard to other posts, then he fought me tooth and nail when i tried to root his phone so i could flash it with the new kernal telling me its not worth the risk of bricking it, i told him it was a reward for letting so many people know and since then he has yet to post a new thread anywhere...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgchaval:
Hi everyone,

I'm having issues connecting my Samsung Captivate to my computer. For about a week, it worked fine, I was able to transfer files to my phone but recently I noticed that the "USB connected" notification is not showing on the phone when plugged in to the computer.

Now, when I plug in my phone to the computer it just charges but doesn't comunicate with my computer. A friend of mine bought the same phone right after I did and he gets the "USB connected" connected when he plugs in his.

I tried using his USB cable but again, the phone is not recognized by Windows nor the phone detects it is connected to the computer. I've tried installing several USB drivers that I've come across on several forums, but nothing. I even downloaded and updated Kies to the latest version, but still nothing.

My phone is unlocked and NOT rooted, and I'm using Windows 7 x64. I've set the USB Settings to Mass Storage, even to Ask on Connection, but it doesn't ask anything when I connect the phone to a USB on my computer.

Sometimes Windows knows there is a device connected but says it couldn't recognize it.

I already did a factory reset, but the issue was not solved. I've tried connecting it to other computers, but still hasn't been able to connect my phone correctly.

What could it be?

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.n:
Hmm. You have Mass Storage selected and up-to-date USB drivers. Try selecting USB-Debugging and Stay Awake in the Development option of your phone. If that doesn't fix it, then I have a few other ideas.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catire:
Make sure the usb door is completely open, it should click into place, some users have reported this solves their usb issues.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgchaval:
I did what you told me, but still my phone ain't recognized by Windows nor my phone is aware that it has been conected to a computer :(

What other ideas do you have in mind?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgchaval:
I'm sure usb door is completely opened
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] climber1872000:
Have you tried using a different USB outlet on your computer? I had this same issue when I plugged my phone up using the USB outlet on the front of my computer then when I tried the one on the back of my computer it worked just fine.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] govgeek:
Are you running a launcher app? I use launcher pro and can't connect until I change back to the default launcher with home switcher and launch it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.n:
First off, think back. If it worked for a week and then suddenly stopped, what changed? Maybe you updated something on Windows or changed something on your phone. There's a reason it just stopped.

You can try using a free program called USBDeview.

It might do the trick for you and help you install the correct drivers. I'm thinking you no longer have them.

1. Download USBDeview (link is above)

2. Plug your phone in and open the program. Find all the HTC drivers-delete them

3. Unplug your phone and plug it back in

4. The correct drivers should install automatically

You can also try updating the drivers manually.

Galaxy S drivers (These are for ADB, but will work fine)

1. Click the Start Menu on your computer and right click "Computer"

2. Choose "Manage" --> it will ask you to continue --> "Device Manager"

3. Plug you phone in and look for it to pop up, probably under Portable Devices

4. Right click --> "Properties" --> "Update Driver" --> "Browse" --> "Let Me Pick" --> and navigate to the location you extracted the drivers to.

This is most likely a driver issue. I doubt your phone is messed up. You'll get it eventually. I also had a hard time getting my Captivate to connect. After uninstalling and reinstalling my drivers (more than once) it finally worked. One last thing, for now. When you uninstall drivers, also make sure you don't have any installed under your program list. As in, Control Panel --> Uninstall a program. Good luck!

A friend of mine, who bought the same phone on the same day as I did, plugged in his phone on my computer using my cable to the same port my phone was connected, and he did get the "USB Connected" notification on his phone :(

No, i'm using the default launcher that comes with the Captivate

I just did the new AT&T update and mine is now having this problem. I have to manually go into manage applications > usb settings > mass storage to get it to work now
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgchaval:
I did all that yesterday, but the device ain't listed in the USBDeview nor it shows up in the Device Manager :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dionieins:
did you finally fix this problem? because I'm having the same issue here :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Same here. It was working fine, I could connect to Kies, transfer music in Media mode and see both sd drives in Mass Storage mode. Then I rooted today and now I get nothing. In anything but Kies mode I get the Windows Bong of Recognition, but still not visible in Explorer. Also, my Home screen stays active instead of switching to the USB animation like it did before. I know this can't be a consequence of rooting the phone, can it?:confused:

EDIT: More weirdness, with the phone connected in Mass Storage mode if I look at My Computer in Explorer there are 2 extra drives showing, but they are greyed out and when I click on either of them it asks me to insert a card as the drive is empty. WTF???
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
UPDATE: I unrooted and managed to get my USB connection back to working. It is still a bit flaky as I sometimes have to disconnect/reconnect several times before it works, but at least it now works although it sometimes loses sync in the middle of transferring a file. Can't imagine why simply rooting the phone would cause the loss of USB connectivity. I am going to reroot and see if it occurs again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
OK, a rerooted the phone and this problem is now back. I have no problem connecting while in debugging mode. I installed OCD (non-Market apps mod) and when I turn off debugging and connect I get the Windows bong and see the USB icon in the Notification bar, but the MTP screen never comes up and I can't see the phone in Explorer (Mass Storage mode) or in WMP (Media mode). Kies can;t see it in that mode, either. I really don't want to have to unroot every time I want to look at the phone contents. Any ideas? PLEASE!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dante60:
I'm having a similar problem - I installed the Perception ROM and immediately afterwards I can't see the USB connection at all from my PC or my Mac. The USB icon on the phone does not come up either.

I'm trying to get my hands on a different cable - but the weird thing is when I plug the USB into my computer the phone starts charging for like half a second and then stops.

This is really annoying. I tried changing the rom to Cognition 3.02 but that didn't change anything.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
There are a few topics on this here on the forum - I would recommend the following:

How are you rooting your phones? Nobody has said exactly how they are doing this. Are you using recommended rooting methods? Or are you using some app found on the market?

Make sure you have USB De-Bugging is turned on.

Make sure you have it listed as ask on connection.

For those who can see the drives in Windows...

Plug in your phone and then pull down your notification bar and click on the USB connected message. It will give you an option there to mount your SDCard(s) to Windows allowing you to transfer files.

Kies is junk - I'd recommend uninstalling it as it seems to cause more issues then it solves.

Use the drivers I have posted in the Q&A section (these are the ones that are linked in Design Gears Odin 1 Click Back to Stock post btw) - but I would try and COMPLETELY removing the pre-existing drivers before installing the new ones.

Make sure the USB Cable is plugged into the back USB port that is directly on your motherboard - this will ensure it's not a computer/hardware related issue.

I know of one user who had to go through his computer and manually remove all remnants of other drivers. I have my phone connected to both a Windows XP 32bit and a Windows 764bit systems and have been lucky to not have any USB issues.

If none of that works - I'd suggest taking it to your nearest AT&T/Rodgers shop and see if they can get the phone to connect (make sure it's back to stock!). If not they should warranty replace the device.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dante60:
This isn't my first rodeo... ;) But to answer your questions:

I used the rooting method posted in XDA forums - the one-click rooting.

I've used the drivers included in the xda-forum. Not the kies software.

The only thing that changed was the loading of a new custom rom. The cable works (confirmed on my friend's phone). I can't get odin to restore back to stock because I can't get the computer to recognize the phone in either normal or in download mode. I've restored to stock using the jh7 in the stickied q&a thread

I don't think it's a hardware issue either - I think it's software-based. I'm going to try to take it to an at&t store today at lunch to see what they say.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greeto4:
I also have that problem only I noticed it when I cleared the dalvik cache. It messed up the auto rotate so it was always sideways and now I have no connectivity to the PC. Let me know how ATT treats you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yentlequible:
I was having these problems off and on until a helpful user suggested something to me...

In your USB settings make sure that it is on "Ask On Connection". I did this and everything I plug it into is able to find it just fine. When i was set on only mass storage it wouldn't find it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
Perception and Cognition both write a new 2bl.bin whether you need it or not. I have no idea if this could be the issue. It seems unlikely or I'd expect to see more people with the problem unless you have a really recently manufactured phone. What batch number is your phone? Does the phone charge on the wall charger?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhernand1102:
I've seem to have lost my ability to connect to my PC using the USB cable also. It seemed to appear after flashing Phoenix ROM based off Froyo 2.2.1 I never had this problem before can you explain about the 2bl.bin file and what I might be able to do to fix it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greeto4:
I am useing Cog V3 with the firebird 2 kernel. everything was fine and I could connect to my PC with no problem until I cleared the Dalvik. Not sure why I did that (was reading the forums and yesterday I was bored at work)! Along with that if I install any custom rom it is always sideways
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Have you guys re-flashed back to stock and see if the phone is recognized by your computer's then?

I have used just about every ROM on here and the puter's seem to find and re-configure themselves to work with the phone regardless of the ROM I am running.

But.. one thing I have never installed (nor will I) is Kies.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhernand1102:
Yes I've flashed back to stock and it still won't connect through USB. Maybe a hardware issue?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinbeau:
I had problems with this last night, I rebooted my computer and did my Android stuff on a fresh boot - seemed to settle everything down nicely. Might be an easy fix for some of you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
Actually, it's sbl.bin (accidentally reverted to my xbox hacking parlance). Anyway, it seems unlikely that this is the cause. Clearly tons of people use these ROMs and their USB is fine. I would have to see more people with, say, common factors like build batch and flashed a sbl.bin.

Having said that: which version of Phoenix? Version 1.0 had sbl.bin but it was removed in 1.5. The copy of 2.0 which I have does have sbl.bin but my 3.5 zip doesn't. I don't have a copy of 3.0.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhernand1102:
I was using Phoenix starting at V1.5...Flashing back to stock does not fix the issue. When I look at my device manager while plugging in the phone it trying to install a bluetooh peripheral device and falis to install saying no drivers found. It never did that before. I'm beginning to think the USB port may be going bad but it still charges while connect to my computer.

I just got a notification from my phone that there was an update available (the supposed GPS fix).

So I let it download and install the update. It rebooted to a white screen with a progress bar. Once it hit 100% it said "Update is failed". Then when it booted up it's back at the device management screen an it says "The update was not completed. No update is applied to your phone."

Under settings it says baseband version is now JH7, but I dont think it is because USB tethering is still in there, I read where that was taken out some time ago. How can I tell if the update really installed?

If it didnt install, why didnt it? Was it because I was rooted? Do we have to be at completely stock JF6 to get the update?

I had my phone mostly stock, all I had done was:

rooted, modded settings.db for non-market apps, installed circle battery meter, installed mobile wifi AP.

Any clues?

I have an HTC HD2 (US)

I like Google Maps, don't get me wrong, but I put my Garmin in my glove-box since installing Bing on my WM device. I don't use Bing on my computer (I am a Google Guy), but the turn by turn navigation Bing provides makes it my favorite app.

What I don't understand is why I have seen no talk about replacing the Google Map link within the contacts and replacing it with Bing. I know Google Maps is good, but it is a Windows Mobile device, and Bing is a Windows Mobile app made by Microsoft. You would just think that Bing could be setup as the map link within the contacts instead of Google.

Does anyone know of a way to do this? Are there any apps in the making that that have promise?

WHen i pay with google checkout my credit card charges me for the conversion.

So , Is there a way to pay just in USD so that i dont get charged extra.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dkelle4:
Since there are app developers in other countries they have every right to get paid in their home country's currency. If you don't want to pay the conversion fees, don't buy that app :)
[Android Apps and Games] dadoc04:
^ He's correct.

You have to pay the conversion fee.
[Android Apps and Games] Techvir:
I am not denying that app developers in other countries need to be paid, but just look at other app sites like itunes , you pay in your own currency and the developer gets paid in their currency.

WHy should i pay the bank around 25% of the price of the application
[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
I second this ... there should be a general currency conversion for your selected country EX: if I'm in the states the prices are all configured to USD or if I'm in a place that uses euro the prices are all displayed in euro

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Android Apps and Games] overthinkingme:
I bet the prices would include the conversion fee, a hidden cost...so apps, even though in your country's currency, will be a bit more expensive.

Someone has to take the hit.
[Android Apps and Games] sitlet:
If the charge is from your bank, then you should take up this problem with your bank, not the developers or the market. Some banks dont charge a conversion fee, maybe you could switch to one of those.
