Nokia 6700 USB cable connectivity problem -fixed-

Ok, got my 6700 today. Everything worked like a charm, until I tried to connect it to my PC using the supplied USB cable. I downloaded and installed the latest Nokia PC suite which supports this phone (7.1.30.9) and connected the phone. Vista was unable to install a driver, and the phone was listed in the device manager as 'unknown usb device'. The phone display reported 'no response from host' after plugging in the usb cable.
I searched online for a solution, and tried the following:
- repaired the install of the Nokia connectivity cable driver: no success.
- deinstalled the nokia pc suite, ran the pc suite cleaner, rebooted and reinstalled the pc suite: no success.
- threw away the unknown usb device in the device manager and plugged the cable back in so that Vista would try to install the driver again: no success.
- tried other USB slots (not behind HUB): no success.
At this point I was so frustrated that I decided to take out the supplied 1gb micro sd card and transfer some data to it using a card reader. When I looked in the root of the sd card, I noticed that there was an executable called pc-suite.exe there, among some other files. I decided to delete those files to see if they were causing the problems, I deleted the following files:
- autorun.inf
- launcher.exe
- pc-suite.exe
- qf
Replaced the micro sd card in the phone, plugged in the usb cable and voila: connection! Everything worked like a charm.
During my online search I noticed I wasn't the only one experiencing connectivity problems with the 6700. Maybe this fix will help other people as well, that's why I decided to post it here. ;-)

Thanks Peter, nice job - same problem, your solution is working. Shame on Nokia - i have so many problems with E52, and now with 6700 - why ? Is it so difficult to make a reliable software ? So disappointed ... maybe Apple is the solution - but after 10 years with Nokia why change with Apple ?

Nokia 5800 - USB cable connection - Frequent "Conn...

When I connect my Nokia 5800 to PC with USB cable and try to send/recieve any data to/from it, the connection fails after 5-10s. All software form Nokia is affected. The latest PC Suite , Ovi Suite, drivers etc. are installed. With Bluetooth connection everithing is more or less OK but from time to time the phone asks for confirmarion to allow access from PC (despite the connection is already established). Looks like the problem with Connectivity Cable Driver (7.0.2.1) ...

hi guys, hi nokia
kind of same problem here. I installed the PC Suite from the web. When I want to save my data (contacts, sms, settings) via Content Copier it stops after the contacts and I get a message "connection lost".
On the other hand if I use it as a mass storage I can transfer as long as I want.
SW-Version is: V 11.0.008
Special-Version:11.0.008.243.02
I wanted to upgrade the firmware but not before saving everything ... but that's not working.
Also software like the Communication Center do not update the data. I'm missing calender entrys, contacts cannot be manage, etc. The software tells me connection is established but well not 100%.
Thanks for the help!

N81 USB Cable - Resolved problem!

I had problem with my N81. It wasn't connecting with my PCs using nokia's USB cable. No message was showing. Bluetooth was working fine. I was restarting PCs and mobile several times but without effect.
Then I remembered myself that I had same problem with my Logitech Steering-Wheel.
I plugged N81 to Playstation 2, unplugged, and plugged to PC. It resolved my problem. I got message on display of N81 to choose transmission mode!
It's strange, isn't it?

I had the same problem: I plugged the phone in my laptop's USB port -- and nothing no "ding dong" absolutely nothing! I tried plugging the phone to Linux box and no dmesg output here either.
I thought I broke the cable or the connector, and got a new one -- but nothing. It was driving me bonkers. Sometimes, I wish I would have gotten the iPhone instead -- seriously!
I discovered my "Playstation-less solution" for this problem by accident. OK, here we go:
1. Set a "quick alarm" in your clock application (i.e. two or three minutes past the current time).
2. Turn the phone off.
3. The phone will power up and your alarm will sound. Switch it off and the phone will ask you if you want to use the phone. Choose "Yes" here.
4. Boom, magically your phone will be recognized again when you plug it to your USB port and the N81 will ask you to choose the transmission mode.
5. You're done.
Don't ask me what happens in the phone when the alarm goes off, and how it got in that "non detect mode" in the first place but this is how I fix mine now. As an explaination how it might have gotten in that "non detect mode" the only thing I can think of, and this is pure speculation, is that I might have had the phone connected to the USB port while the Laptop was doing a reboot. In the boot sequence a USB device was recognized, and the PC tried to boot from it and this might be what screwed the phone up.
Let us know if this works for you as well
Anyway, good luck everyone.

My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode

My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode as well as the DFU? mode and it still will not work. I have the latest version of iTunes on my Mac. My error code was 2002. I also tried it on my laptop (windows 8.1) and none of the above worked. My error code on my laptop was 02. The phone is through Verizon and it has absolutely no damage. It was working fine up until this and I have been trying to fix it for 2 days. Please help! I am unsure of what version the phone was currently running on before this because I have another iphone that's my primary phone and have not used this one in about a month. I do not believe it was updated to IOS 7.

Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

6500 Cable Connectivity Problem

Hello,
I have just upgraded my phone to a Nokia 6500. I have installed the software on my pc. I have connected the cable to the phone and it has asked me to select the type of connection e.g. pc suite etc. When I select pc suite nothing connects to the pc. The phone display keeps asking for to select the pc suite etc. Again and again
I think that there is a cable connecting problem on the phone.
Has anyone else had this problem??
Thanks
Steve

HI,
The sane problem exists for me too. Its not detecting the phone, no response.

Can n86 charge using usb cable connected to power ...

I know that nokia n86 is chargeable via usb cable connected to the computer/laptop. However, I don't always have a laptop or computer with me while I'm travelling so I was wondering, is it possible to charge my n86 using a usb cable connected to a power socket using a usb adapter like those used to charge mp3 players if I didn't bring the charger with me? will it spoil the phone?
Thanks in advance.

should work fine as long as it is an official USB device. I have a Nokia USB charger and that is rated at 5V/1200mA and I have used a 3rd party USB charger and that has worked also. As I understand it you need something with at least 5V/500mA. I think my 3rd party one was about 600mA

HT201263 My phone is stuck on insert usb cable connect to itunes screen. this happened during my iOS 7 update.

I've already tried turning my phone off holding Home key while inserting my cord into phone and nothing worked. I've tried DFU mode and that wont work either. What the heck do I do now? So annoyed with this.

I've also restarted my computer and still nothing.

HP laserjet 6L connected thru USB cable printing problem

System Board ASUS M3A78-EM does not have LPT port on mother board.
Printer Model : HP Laserjet 6L Gold (Old printer) Connected thru USB cable (LPT to USB/USB to LPT)
O/S Windows XP
Driver installed automatically and port selected USB
Previously it was working fine but now a days, I am not able to print clear text on output.. It prints some words in italic, some of half italic, crucked letters. If I start my PC with printer switch off. When ever required printer, I switched ON printer and give command to print. It displays many time "printer failed to print this document". After reboot the system with switched on printer message does not displayed.
Can any one help to reolve this problem of uneven printing letters.
my email id is {Personal Information Removed}

I found this advice on another site:
"You will need to install drivers for your usb serial adapter, A good way to find which drivers to install (if u dont have them) is to click the apple Icon on the top left, 'about this mac'then click the 'More Info' on the window which appears, then look for USB devices.
Your serial adapter should appear as a usb device, THen google for the os x usb drivers for the chipset/adapter, or contact your vendor/look on sourceforge for it."
I don't know if that's the problem, but you should have gotten a driver disc with the converter cable. The one I just received for a pc client has a CD that says it's for Windows and Mac.
One problem though, the disc is a mini-cd. Not great for slot loading drives, and the driver says Mac 10.1 - 10.3.3. Maybe that's when they made the cable, but I wouldn't be very surprised if it didn't work with Leopard. It's going on a PC so I won't have to worry about it for now.
Side note about these cables - I have another client who wanted to control his ham radio gear from a Mac running WinXP on Parallels. It wouldn't work in WinXP until I removed the driver from the Mac side. Windows kept complaining that the device was already under control by another program - it meant Mac OS. I'm not sure how I would have been able to make the device work both ways, but luckily, didn't have to find out.
Leopard saw his Radio Shack cable fine from System Profiler.

Nokia PC Suite Update Connection Problem

My Nokia Pc Suite version 6 worked perfectly from my laptop to Nokia N70 through a USB Bluetooth connection (MSI Bluetooth device and BlueSoleil Software)
I downloaded and installed Nokia PC suite 6.82. The new PC suite opened but when I tried to connect a the following message apeared: "There is no available connection type and therefor connection to the phone cannot be established. The wizard will exit"
BlueSoleil was connected to the phone through the USB device all the time.
I deleted version 6.82 and reinstalled version 6 which now also fails to connect!!!!!!!
Am I stupid or what!!!

Hello Everyone
I've been experiencing the same issue (cannot connect to the device or similar message given by the Nokia PC Suite software) for 4 weeks now and until recently put the problem down to the Bluetooth Stack software driver provided by Toshiba with my new laptop. The reason for why I thought it was Toshiba's fault (and spent hours over the last 4 weeks on the phone to their support department) was because each time the connectivity issue arose I managed to resolve it by uninstalling and re-installing the Toshiba Bluetooth stack software driver via the Windows Add/Remove programs which then allowed the PC Suite Software to recognise my Nokia N73 software. I found that reinstalling the Nokia PC Suite software did not resolve the issue although I am convinced that it is the cause of the issue. Therefore, you may wish to try reinstalling whichever Bluetooth driver software (the one provided by your hardware provider or the MS windows one) just to see if this resolves the problem.
Please note though that almost every time that I install new software onto my laptop e.g. anti virus etc the connectivity issue resurfaces and I have to reinstall the bluetooth software to overcome. I have resigned myself to doing this as at least I know that it works although Nokia really ought to fix this once and for all in their software.
By the way, I am also using Nokia PC Suite version 6.82.22.0 and have never had an issue with connecting via a USB cable.
Good luck!
