Help stupid route 66 /Navigation

mr_pimms

Lurker
I have the HTC Desire HD and now ore than ever.....everytime i plug my phone into my computer to drop files onto my SD card the navigation boots up and asked me to purchase a dumb licence. It also is blocking the option to open and play files from my computer. Is there a connection? I have tried the debugging button but all it does is launce the nav app. please help. This i sthe first time it has acted like this.
 
Hi mr_pimms, I moved your thread here so you can recieve answers from the experts with this device, Welcome to Android Forums!! Hope you enjoy your time here.
 
That HTC navigation would be triggered when the DHD is put in a HTC car dock. The car dock's coded microUSB connector caused this, the phone "sees" pin 4&5 are jumped with an electrical resistance.
Dirt and fluff could work like a resistance or a bend pin could do the jumpering.
So you'd have a close look at the phone's and the cable's microUSB connector.
And I'd try an other cable.
