[Q] Freezing Autostart on Connect to PC

---

Anyone know which app to freeze to prevent the Rezound from automatically triggering the prompt to load Verizon Media Manager on connect to PC?

There used to be a way to do it through a dial-in sequence on the Incredible; that doesn't work on the Rezound.

Doesn't pop up on mine. Are you talking about their website on your computer screen, or the app on your phone? In settings you can change how the phone reacts when connecting to your PC.

I know that. When I connect I get an immediate prompt to download Verizon's Media Manager software, and the web page pops up in a browser (or additional tab if the browser is already open). On the Incredible, there was an *.iso file in the system root that could be de-activated by dialing a sequence of numbers and getting a feature menu which would de-activate CD-ROM. That menu is missing from the Rezound, so something else is triggering the pop-up.

There might be an *.iso file somewhere in there, but I am hesitant to delete or write anything to the ROM. Last time I did that I had to do a factory reset. I'm hoping it's an apk that can be frozen by Titanium during temporary root.

you did check off to connect via "USB Debugging Mode" in settings right?...

i do it that way & when i connect to my PC the only thing it does will bring up the prompt on the phone itself asking if i want to do "charge only" or "hard drive".

Usually keep USB debugging ON, not off, but even setting it to off produces the prompt when I connect. It appears to "see" CD-ROM which would suggest that there *is* an *.iso file somewhere. Guess I'll have to go back into temporary root and see what's in there.

yeah when i go to 'windows explorer' after the phone's connected, it shows that 'CD-ROM', as well as both the drives from the phone itself & then the sd card.

oh wait... perhaps it's because i have "autorun" in windows disabled. anytime i pop in anything, nothing happens. i just go into explorer and manually open things. so my guess is that it's your PC's autorun feature.

i believe once you have the phone connected, go into windows explorer and right-click on the 'CD-ROM' listing, there should be an option somewhere to "autoplay/autorun" & you can disable it.

there's a way to disable autoplay/autorun completely in windows & there's more info on that here:

It has never popped up for me. In any case, what if you just Freeze that app using TB? (I think I froze that one on my last trip into Temp Root.)
