No device attached to USB

[JoeXB]

My phone can not be detected by MyPhoneExplorer. When connecting with USB I get an error message "Connection to phone could not be established: No device attached to USB".

DroidX w/Android 2.2
WinXP Pro Version 2002 SP3
Connected via USB which charges ok
Similar message when attempting to connect over WiFi (Failed to obtain the IP-address of the phone)
Log file is below for USB Connection attempt.
DroidX shows 4 options for USB connection: PC Mode, Windows Media Sync, USB Mass Storage, and Charge Only. I have tried to connect with all 4 settings.
If it helps, files transfer and work (I transferred and played a song) when in USB Mass Storage mode but Windows Media Sync is not yet working.
PC Version 1.8.0 is installed. A Client version was also installed straight from the marketplace and connections fail whether it is running or not. My phone will not connect to my wife's laptop either even though I got her DroidX on Android v2.1 to work so I am sure the issue is with my phone. Any thoughts?

OK, I figured it out. USB debugging was not turned on and I found a YouTube video showing how to do it. All is now synchronized.

The only question now is should I leave USB Debug turned on. The phone says it allows code to be downloaded without notice, which sounds unsafe.

Thank you.

[FJ]

Its theoretically possible to do many things with your phone throught the cable. But i don't think the risk is high cause i never heard of 'bad programs' which are able to detect connected Android-Phones and do bad stuff with them

I borrow this topic becuase I have similar problem with my N1.
The log shows this (which should be the same as above log)

The SD card is correct connected for file transfer.
Should also say that I use Win XP.

[Gast]

Using myphoneexplorer client 1.06 also.
In that application it says that the usb cable plugged in.

Gediminas

[thibill]

Hi, I have the same problem as Gediminas. When I plug in the USB connection to my PC and Xperia x8, then ask MyPhoneExplorer 1.08 to connect: "no device attached to USB". The phone says it's attached and I can explore the files on my PC. I don't have a myphoneexplorer client installed on my xperia (no internet connection to my gsm). I even don't know how I can do this.
Could somebody help me out please?
thanks in advance.

Things you MUST HAVE for a propper connection via USB:
- USB (ADB) driver installed on your PC (use Google to find the fitting driver for your brand)
- MyPhoneExplorerClient installed from market on your phone
(alternative you can download the current beta from www.fjsoft.at/mpeclient.apk direct from your phone's browser
- USB debugging mode enabled (menu > settings > applications > development > USB debugging)

Things you MUST HAVE for a propper connection via WLAN:
- MyPhoneExplorerClient installed from market on your phone
(alternative you can download the current beta from www.fjsoft.at/mpeclient.apk direct from your phone's browser
- Manually start MyPhoneExplorerClient on your phone
- Phone and PC should be on the same subnet / router.

Then start MyPhoneExplorer on your PC, go to File > Settings > Connection > Phone type "Phone with Google Android-OS".
When done, presse F1 or select File > Connect.


best regards...

I´m sorry to say that I have all that on my computer.
I can get it to work on my private computer but not on my work computer

[user_deleted]

Is there any personal firewall on your work computer or are there some other restrictions/policies?

Please note:
MyPhoneExplorer uses TCP/IP for communication with your phone:
TCP outgoing over port 5210
UDP outgoing over port 5211
UDP incoming over port 5212

best regards...

[Gast]

Will try that but I don´t think it will work because of below things that I noticed.

Did notice that when I try to run adb.exe devices I can see that there is no devices attached.
Have tried to reinstall the drivers but without no luck,
Seems to be something wrong with the drivers.

I did that but it was not clear to me which drivers to install so I installed all of them, (over 1 GB). C:\AndroidSDK\android-sdk-windows


- MyPhoneExplorerClient installed from market on your phone

Done

(alternative you can download the current beta from www.fjsoft.at/mpeclient.apk direct from your phone's browser

OK

Then start MyPhoneExplorer on your PC, go to File > Settings > Connection > Phone type "Phone with Google Android-OS".
When done, presse F1 or select File > Connect.

Error message is either:

'Connection to phone could not be established: no device attached to USB'

or

'Connection to phone could not be established: Failed to obtain the IP address of the phone'

The client on the phone shows:

" Wi-fi connected to (name) (IP address)"

and:

"USB cable plugged in"

[David-G]

OK, the first site that Google found said that in order to install the driver I had to download the SDK. (I don't know what a SDK is. I am not a developer I just want to transfer the e-mail addresses from my Thunderbird address book to my Nexus).

Anyway, I did as I was told and finished up with nearly 1.5 GB of SDK but I still couldn't get a driver to install.

After messing about for ages I went back to Google and downloaded a driver from another site that enabled me to connect the Nexus to my PC.

Now when I open MyIPhoneExplorer I can see and copy the address book on the phone to the computer but I can't find any way to transfer the Thunderbird address book to the phone.

[FJ]

For some devices the ADB-Drivers are provided by the SDK and for some models you have to search for seperate drivers. Its not my job to deliver the correct ADB-Drivers for each device. This would be a endless work

Now when I open MyIPhoneExplorer I can see and copy the address book on the phone to the computer but I can't find any way to transfer the Thunderbird address book to the phone.

Menu-File-Settings-Sync -> select Thunderbird here

[David-G]

I can appreciate that you can't deliver ADB drivers for each device but maybe other IT semi-literates like me would find this website helpful:

http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to ... d-devices/

"Menu-File-Settings-Sync -> select Thunderbird here"

Thanks for that. I can apparently carry out synchronization although I don't get any confirmation messages and nothing appears in Contacts on my Nexus. Are there some other settings I am missing?

[cgaski]

Debug log at: http://www.consul-net.net/Debug.txt

[FJ]

There is a FAQ planned how to connect, but cause there are many diffrent models with diffrent drivers its hard to write a good FAQ for this.

Thanks for that. I can apparently carry out synchronization although I don't get any confirmation messages and nothing appears in Contacts on my Nexus. Are there some other settings I am missing?

Maybe a stupid question but did you also start the sync ?
- select Thunderbird as target in the settings
- go to Contacts (in MPE) and click on Sync (the first button in toolbar)
- or Menu-Extras-Run MultiSync

[cgaski]

Maybe a stupid question but did you also start the sync ?
- select Thunderbird as target in the settings
- go to Contacts (in MPE) and click on Sync (the first button in toolbar)
- or Menu-Extras-Run MultiSync

No, it's not a stupid question at all. After I had completed selecting Thunderbird and the address books I thought that pressing the subsequent "OK" would initiate the synchronization. If anybody is stupid it is me.

Even though I now know how to carry out the synchronization I have not done it because of uncertainty as to what will happen.

In my Thunderbird address book in the vast majority of cases I just have e-mail addresses - I don't make phone calls from my computer.

In my phone in the vast majority of cases I just had a phone numbers - until I acquired a smart phone I couldn't send emails.

On the synchronization screen I am given three choices:

1. Create new entry in phone

If I select this I will presumably have two John Smiths in the phone book one with the e-mail address and one with the phone number.

2. Delete entry in Thunderbird

If I select this I will presumably delete John Smith and his e-mail address in Thunderbird and replace it with John Smith and his phone number.

3. Never sync this entry in future

Obviously what I would like to do would be to add John Smith's e-mail address to the existing telephone number in the phone book. Is this possible?

[FJ]

In my Thunderbird address book in the vast majority of cases I just have e-mail addresses - I don't make phone calls from my computer.

You should take a look in the Advanced settings for sync->Exceptions cause there is a default filter which overides contacts without phone number.

Obviously what I would like to do would be to add John Smith's e-mail address to the existing telephone number in the phone book. Is this possible?

This is a known problem and you cannot merge the data at sync. Workaround: Sync both items so you have duplicates. Then select them in the contactlist of MPE->Rightclick->Join contacts. Then sync again to remove the duplicates in Thunderbird
