Hooking the phone up to the computer

[kawaiius]

When i use to hook my touch pro 2 up to the computer it would recognize automatically and charge and what not but now when i hook it up to the computer it wont be recognized..it wont charge..i cant access my sd card...dunno what the problem could be.

soft reset first off, then check your usb cable. I know mine likes mini usb cables more than the official one go figure. Also you may want to restart the computer as well. these tp2's can be finicky sometimes and have been known to have bad usb ports.

yea..when i plug it in it asks how i wanna connect it and all but then does nothing..doenst charge..straight gay

I was going to say a bad USB port on your phone. Those tend to go bad. But, you said it prompts you on how to connect so I'm not sure. I would try, like nevergunnauseth said, to change USB cords, turn off then back on your phone and computer, AND also try another computer. Maybe your computer is just jank. Good Luck!

just for giggles try this:
start internet sharing, connect and then disconnect. close that window and then connect your phone to the computer.

That did nothing lol...thanks though..and its not my computer i hooked it up to another computer and had the same thing happen.

its probably a bad usb port then. sometimes the method i suggested wakes up the usb port. i know i had to do it a couple times. just call vzw and tell them whats wrong. if its still under warranty you can get a refurbished phone.

settings>connections>usbtopc>uncheck faster data sync
or/and
settings>system>battery icon>battery>make sure the box is unchecked (when phone is on, don not charge when connected to pc)

those are 2 things off hand you can look at to make sure the settings are right atleast

I got it to charge again when connected to the computer..i think my sd card is the problem...when i plug it up i cant seem to access it..my computer jus hangs there..is there a easy way to reformat it without taking it out of the phone or a solution for this?

i also downloaded a program called pocket mechanic to see if that would help me format the card but when i go to format the card i get some error that says "0x1f,a device attached to the system is not functioning" any ideas?
