USB Connection Not Detected

[curtiso]

I'm having a heck of a time getting my Win7 computer to see the Droid3. I have an 8g SD card in that the droid sees just fine but on connection to the computer all it does is charge. I downloaded some drivers from Motorola but that didn't help.
Any clues?

on your notification bar on phone pull it down and choose usb then hit usb mass storage and ok, post if that helps.

Come again? I don't see where you posted a link to that other thread.

You have to use the moto cable diffidently? That's pretty funny.

Lol, it happens. Oh well, whatever.

I was trying to do 2 things:
1) point to another recent thread where people were already discussing this
2) point to a thread where it says to use the moto cable

Should have read more first

Thanks all. I should have read deeper into the forum boards before posting. I was not using the original cable and once I did magic happened. Who knew...

It's a new "Verizon-approved feature" of Gingerbread...

I just received my DROID 3 yesterday from Verizon with the green and black charger. I was having problems with the screen acting weird when plugged into the wall and my computer would not recognize the phone. After an hour with tech support, they decided to send me a new phone. After I got home that night, just to see I got my motorola charger from my DROID 2 and of course, problem solved.
