My phone is cingular 8125, my USB port can't sync with PC, I don't know what is going on. When I plug the cable to PC, it tell me unknow device detected. I can't do anything thur USB. Can I unlock by SD card or IR port?
Have you tried connecting you phone to a different PC? Also deinstall Activesync and reinstall it (are you running 4.2 or 4.5).
are you able to charge your phone with the AC/DC charger? if so ur port isnt broken.. so try doing what mmrfrazzz says and u could also go a step further and try uninstalling the usb port drivers then reinstalling them. do your other usb devices work? does ur phone indicate its charging when plugged into usb?
I have 2 8125, the other one is OK. I am using Activesync 4.2. I replaced the USB port, it's work for minutes. After dinner, it only charging but not sync!

From what I understand from your post, it sounds like you have a cold solder joint on the contact or contacts that carry the sync signal; you may need to re-solder these. It only worked for a few minutes because when you applied pressure to the USB port by inserting the plug you compromised the already weak solder point. It works when charging because it charges over different contacts then when it synchronizes. It seems your first solder job was not sound.
PS. If the solder is dull (not shiny), it usually indicates a cold solder joint.
I had this problem with an 8125 i bought on friday for 20 bucks. they had broken the usb port. so i took one out of a razr phone and put on the 8125. at first it would only charge thru usb but not hook up on activesync. but then some how when i soldered it it worked and was able to update it and all that crap. The only thing is that it will not charge with a regular charger. it will only charge when connected to a computer. but hey atleast it works now.
Yes, I was re-soldered the USB port. I have compared my workable and the un-workable one by electric-meter. They are same connecting status, but just not work! I can be charge but not synchronize . Is some IC or chips damaged?

which program do you use to over clock your 8125? can you post here or send to me? [email protected]
I use batterystatus. but the thing is is that some devices respond different to speeds. for example my MDA can only be overclocked to 286. anything higher it freezes up. On my 8125 i can overclock it to 299 with no problem at all. So its trial and error. try it out and see what you can get.

Has anyone else noticed that the USB data cables that HTC gives out are terrible? My Niki is my second HTC phone and both cables that I've had have had problems with data transfer.
The first one is flaky and works sometimes. The other one never works except for charging.
I am going to buy a new cable but don't want to get one from HTC because they suck. Anyone suggest a good one?
Also, do I get a 4 pin or 5 pin data cable?
it's a normal usb cable. any USB cable will work .........

Quite so; for data purposes, USB is USB, you don't gain anything from spending extra $$ for a fancier cable.
Although I will admit that the USB slot on the Niki does seem to be "sensitive" - the charger for my bluetooth headphones can charge the Niki, but needs way too much of a shove to get it seated correctly.
i had the same problem with the cable shipped with the device from htc - can only charge up the device but 50% failure rate for establishing activesync connections. i simply brought out the one came with my last motorola handset and it works very nice.
Weird, I actually got a decent quality and quite a thick USB cable with mine...?
me too!! no problem with my usb from htc and even if there was i've got so many of the bloody things from cameras, sat nav and hdd cases that i wouldn't be bothered anyway .Only thing that bugs me is that i have to buy a usb to 3.5mm adapter so that i can use decent headphones cos the supplied ones are rubbish....Oh and the sound level sucks through the speaker( stereo would've been nice).....Oh and the vibrate is rubbish, sometimes i don't even know it's going off and the girlfriends not impressed either....Oh and where's the camera flash...Oh and why do i always find there's apps running that i never even touched......Oh and why is the access time so slow to my minute 2gb storage card, i already filled it with tunes and i have to wait for ages for it get accessed(should i have formatted it first?).....all of that aside i love this phone and wouldn't swap it for anything....well maybe another one with better spec but other than that i wouldn't....................
I've got a tip, if any of you have PS3's (Playstation 3) then you can use the same cable that you use to charge your PS3 wireless controller to connect your HTC Touch Dual/Nike to your PC/laptop.
My Tilt isn't syncronizing no more with PC, it used to work well but suddenly stopped. When I conect the cable just charges and nothing else. With the same cable Qtek S100 and TouchDual activate Activesync. Is there any way to reinstall just activesync on my Tilt?

I had what sounds like the exact same issue.....it turned out to be the pins in the usb connector on the device in that they were not contacting properly when the cable was plugged in....I was able to VERY GENTLY bend the pins back up which solved the issue immediately (need to be VERY careful not to bend them too much as they'll break) the centre of the connector is pretty flimsy as well so you need to take extreme care when doing this. I used a staple to push the pin up from the tip of the pin in the connector. It helps to have a magnifying glass or similar when your doing this.
Hope this helps. Cheers GT.
thanks you saved my life, i moved the pins activesync letme use the phone,already unlocked it
I'm having a problem with my Tilt (WM 6.1). When I go to charge it with a car charger or a wall charger, the mini usb port on my Tilt won't recognize the charger.
I know it works, because when I put it in my docking station to connect it to my PC it works just fine. It will sync and charge. It also works with headphones.
I've checked the chargers and they charge other phones with mini usb ports but not mine, I've gone to the AT&T store to try new chargers and ask for help with no luck.
What's wrong?
same with mine. check your mini usb port, the terminal might be broken. mightve been when it was dark and stuck the stylus in there by mistake instead of the resest button. thats what happened to mine
Hi,
i can how update ROM and Windows Mobile but my problem is wrong connector on my phone. I testing so many cable and OS but never sync. My friend say: You need new connector.
I don't know. I find solutions without usb cable.
goto www.accessorygeeks.com and order the ORIGINAL HTC USB to mini USB DATA SYNC cable....
the problem is that there are mini usb cables out there but they only charge not transfer data... they look exactly the same... but the data transfer cable has one more wire inside for transerring data so it can work with ur ACTIVE SYNC...
It happened to me for over a year til someone told me...sheesh..now I was able to update my MDA and even root it
Good luck

I have successfully been using a USB cable that came with an external hard drive.
Never had a problem using it for data, reflashing, etc.
get the cable, ur gonna need it!
This is weird, I though my phone had a complete non funtional usb port because it does not charge or make conection with the pc.
The other day I tried the JIG and it got me to the download screen. So, it seems that my usb port is somehow still working (or something like that).
So, what could be the problem with my USB?

Check if your USB pins are dirty, perhaps clean them even if they don't seem like it (nothing with water!).
If that doesn't work, my guess is that your pins 1-3 are dead and need new USB port.
