My Windows PC doesn't detect my phone via USB

Hi.
When I plug in my USB cord, I expect my PC to detect my phone. Device Manager reports my phone as an "MTP USB Device." Any advice on how I can get my PC to recognize my phone as a phone so I can access my information? Thanks.

Screen Saver when calling and need to use the Keypad, the screen saver doesn't detect the phone has left the ear and blanks out the screen. Even ending a call is difficult as the screen blanks out within seconds

I have to use the Keypad a lot when making calls. Make the call, the Robot then asks to enter a number for a service, pull the phone down from the ear, the screen may light up for a second, but then the screen saver cuts in, blanking the screen out. Sometimes you hit the Home Key to awaken the sccreen, enter your number and then back to the ear to hear the next set of instructions. Back and forth just trying to enter the options is a pain. Sometimes even trying to end the call, the screen blanks out and you fight to try and end a call.
If I use the Speaker function the keypad works; the speakler phone is not alway appropriate.
It appears that the phone gyro, doesn't detect the phone has moved from the ear to the viewing angle. This wasn't an issue until recently and I can't remeber if it's the iPhone 5 or one of the updates. It definitly wasn't there earlier on, as I threw away an Windows 6.5 phone for the same problem.
I'm not sure if it's a hardware or software (design) issue.

It is not the gyro. This has everything to do with the iPhone's prioximity sensor.
Are you using a case that may be blocking or partially blocking the proximity sensor? If you are using the case, remove the case prior to the next call to see if the same occurs without the case.

Windows 7 doesn't detect my Canon MX850

Hi all,
I have a Canon MX850 printer connected to the network. Unlike other reports in this forum, Windows 7 doesn't detect my printer at all.
I can ping the printer and access it's network configuration page so network connectivit is not the issue (I even disabled the windows firewall, just in case).
Any clues where to go next?
Thanks,
S.

Hi,
Can the printer work fine on other machine on the network?
At this stage, you can refer to the following steps for a test.
1. Plug the printer to the Windows 7 machine directly and install the proper driver. For your reference, I have enclosed the latest driver for Windows 7 below:
Canon MX850 driver
Please Note: Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. This contact information may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information.
Is the printer working fine on the Windows 7 machine? If not, please let me know. Otherwise, you can put the printer back and connect it via network again.
2. If the printer still cannot be detected via network, I suggest you remove the original printer on the computer and recreate a new network printer icon.
For more information to access a network printer, please refer to the link below:

Windows explorer 8 not detecting my phone

Hi, I'm trying to install a few apps from the blackberry.com website but am unable. If I use internet explorer, it doesn't detect my phone even tho it is connected. I tried google chrome, it detects my phone but keeps on asking me to update my app world in order to continue which I did but it keeps asking me time after time. When it reboots it says that my device radio is off and needs to be turned on and other times it says that it is unable to connect and ask me to disable content protection which it already is.
software version is: 4.6.1.284

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
With your device NOT connected to your computer, but with your Mobile Data network active (WiFi as well, but not ONLY), please try this sequence:
1) Remove AppWorld from your BB
KB10040 How to view or remove installed applications on a BlackBerry smartphone
If it requests that you reboot the BB, do so
2) Do a Batt-Pull reboot (power on, remove battery, wait, insert battery, wait), even if redundant to the one you did in step 1.
3) Install (on your BB) a fresh copy of AppWorld
http://blackberry.com/appworld/download
Again, if it requests to reboot, do so.
4) Do another Batt-Pull reboot
5) See if it now works.
Cheers!

Why won't my IMAC recognize my new smart phone via USB?

Why won't my imac recognize my new smart phone via USB?

Have no clue since you provided no details. What did the smart phone tech support tell you? You contacted them right?

Non riesco a stampare, nella partizione Windows dell'IMAC, con la stampante collegata via USB alla Time Capsule. Ho installato Bonjour, vedo la stampante ma non riesco a stampare. Soluzioni?

Nokia PC Suite not detecting my N79 via USB.

Hello!
Got my N79 yesterday and having a bit of a problem with getting the Nokia PC Suite finding it. The program tells me to plug in the phone and when i do this nothing happens. I'm connecting via USB with a CA-101 cable.
Have tried reinstalling the Pc Suite a couple of time and same with the USB connectivity drivers.
I'm using XP Pro x64 SP2 on my PC and the Nokie PC Suite version is 7.1.26.0.
Any solutions?
Regards
Erik

Is the settings in your N79 for the data cable set to "PC Suite Mode" or "Always Ask on Connection"?
Did you try a different PC?
Is the phone getting detected as a removable drive when you connect it in Mass storage mode?

External usb drive doesn't appear correctly connected via usb to Time Capsule

After using it successfully for months over my home LAN by connecting it via FW800 (and suing filesharing) to a stationary MacBook Pro, I'm attempting to connect a 2 TB Hitachi Deskstar 7K2000 hard drive (in a Rosewill quad-interface enclosure with Oxford semiconductor bridge chip) via USB cable to my third-generation Time Capsule. It is formatted as HFS+ with a GUID partition table.
It appears in Airport Utility and mounts correctly, but none of its folders appears. Have tried two different USB cables with the same results.
Any ideas as to what could be wrong?

So do I. I have a 350 GB Maxtor One Touch external harddrive. When I boot the mac, the drive doesn't show. And if I run the AirPort Disk Utility, it shows by name. But no matter what settings I chose, it doesn't mount and it says "No Disk Found" in the menu.
But here comes the interesting bit: If I turn off the harddrive, and turn it back on again, AirPort Disk Utility finds it. So I think the problem has to do with the harddrive spinning down and going into sleep-mode. For some reason it seems to become invisible to the Extreme-box when doing so. But if that's correct, what the heck do I do about it?

Windows eventually stops recognizing a Tek TDS2002B via USB

I wrote the software for a machine using a TEK TDS2002B via USB over 5 years ago and don't remember having a problem, but the machine is getting put back into production and they are having a problem with Windows eventually not recognizing the scope. As far as I remember, I only installed NI-VISA (4.4.1) with LabVIEW 8.6. My code, using the Tek dirivers I downloaded from NI, acquires the scope waveform via "Fetch Waveform.vi" code (once a connection has been established. A reboot of the computer fixes the problem (dunno for how long), but I want to stop the need for the reboot.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Todd

Probably the window power management setting shutting down the USB HUBs
USB Plug-n-Play Devices (Windows)
Options
‎01-22-2012 02:20 PM
In this topic we will discuss some of the common problems that have been observed using USB devices with LabVIEW on Windows operating systems. Many of these points are also applicable to other environments but the examples will be use the Windows 7 OS.
FAQ 1 : My USB device stops working unexpectedly.
The first thing to look at is the OS power saving options. There is a global trend towards developing "Green" electronics and energy star ratings are getting fairly common. "If its not being used shut it off" is nothing new. Cavemen learned how to bank a fire to preserve energy that would otherwise be wasted. Likewise, the Windows OS has a power saving feature to shut down power to the USB hubs when no user activity is present. In Automated systems this feature can cause problems since removing USB hub power will shut down the USB device. Solution: Use the device manager to change the USB hub Power Options.
FAQ2: I set the power options and my device connection is still unreliable: Remember, those computer USB ports are often the cheapest that can be mounted on the chassis and share the PC system power supply to supply USB Power. Most uses of USB are temporary connections like a thumb drive or a camera. These connections do not require high reliability since the user is right there interacting with it. Power surges and fault tolerance at worst cause the operator to retry the data transfer. Automated systems require a bit more robustness. Solutions:
1) ALWAYS use an external self powered hub. Perform your engineering due diligence and inspect the devices specifications too- If you can't find them for that device that should clue you to seek an product from a vendor that WILL publish their specs.
2) High noise environments require the use of ferrites on the USB cable- and don't buy the cheapest cable either! The cheap ones are poorly shielded.
3) PROTECT the HUB connections- If you have a USB2.0 device and Joe User plugs in a 1.0 device in a open slot managed by the same hub- Bingo every port on the hub may back convert to USB1.0. WORSE there are a lot of damaged or marginally engineered USB devices out there. Joe User's device may cause power fluctuations when it is inserted or removed from the hub just don't let it happen!
FAQ3: I am testing USB devices and the OS can't find them anymore.
This is a Plug-n-Play feature that deserves some exposure. When you connect a P-n-P device the OS remembers its serial number in a HKEY (Hive-Key) registry entry. This is helpful when (for example) you want a specific instrument, Say an NI-USB-6008, to show up as a DAQmx Device with VISA Alias "MyDAQ1" every time it is plugged it. On the other hand, If you want to test a line of USB-Serial converters this can be problematic since the P-n-P driver will mount the first serial number as "COM3" and the next as "COM4" add infinitum until the enumerator controller in the registry and VISA recognized aliases get used up. Solution: Use the Windows registry API and the Hardware Configuration API in LabVIEW to clear unused VISA Aliases and HKEY entries. Speak with your staff IT professional about HKEY structure and possible side effects before developing a plan to edit registry entries.

How to connect android phone via usb using mavericks?

I am fairly new to Macs and want to transfer music files from my PowerBook to my LG Android phone via a USB connection. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this? Thanks in advance for any help.

I do not have the equipment to try this setup first hand, however, it could be possible to set this up. It appears that the phone and Operating System has the means to print pre-installed. You will need a proper OTG cable also.
Ensure that under Settings> Printing that the HP Plug in is installed and turn on. If you do not have it, it can be found in the PlayStore. HP Print Service Plugin<---
After that, simply connecting the cable to both phone and printer should allow you the means of printing.

Is it possible to share Windows XP internet connection to iPhone 4 via USB tethering?

My computer (Windows XP) connects to the internet, and I want to share that connection to my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1). Is it possible to do that via USB tethering? I know that it's possible for iPhone 4 to share its internet connection to others via Personal Hotspot, so can the opposite be done?

You wouldn't be able to do that via USB, however if your computer had the ability to transmit wireless from the computer, you would be able to connect the iPhone to it via wifi. Computers have the ability to do that with the correct equipment.

HT3986 My Windows 7 doesn't detect my wifi connection, how do I fix this?

I just recently installed Windows 7 Home Premium into my Macbook white late 2009 edition and my wifi connection cannot be detected by windows but when I plug in the ethernet cable from our broadband router, the internet works. What do I do? Please help me.

Did you see a thread pretty much same duplicate as your question? also using Airport.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3808608?tstart=0
I don't have wireless but in Vista there was a wireless configuration wizard.
And yes set up wired first. Install Apple driver, and based on dozens of identical threads, probably update the driver - via Device Manager, find what device and manually install what you need.
