Does anyone know why this happens? Whenever I turn USB debugging on, my comp cannot recognize the device...whenever it is off, 2 drives show up which is exactly as I intend to happen. However when it is off, nothing happens. Anyone have a solution to this?
What is your set-up?
it is probably due to a kernal problem, I have had problems with Setiron 1.4.2 so much that I had to use my xp machine to flash odin it was the only way it would connect. Drivers would not "install" on win 7.
Well i have XP, but this problem is weird cause people tell me that theirs isnt working when its off, but mine is backwards...

Hi all, Ive had my captivate for about a week now and have been playing with it, I've been all over the web trying to figure out why I can't sync it with my pc Ive tried both my laptop with windows 7 and my desktop running XP. Nothing will work ive downloaded the drivers from Samsung's site and kies and kies mini with no luck. No matter what i do it says device not recognized windows has stopped the device and nothing shows up on the phones screen it just shows its charging, I'm guessing its something I'm doing but i just don't know what. Once I had so much trouble I connected a Samsung flight to my PC that's running XP and it worked just fine. Can anyone help me out i want to root the captivate so i can get take off all this att crap!!!
Did you mount the phone after plugging it into your computer? You should pull down the notification bar and it should give you the option to copy files to/from computer.
Also, set you usb settings to mass storage. It's in settings...can't remember where on stock.

Yes I have put the phone in all the different usb settings debugging,media player, mass storage, ask on connection, kies. When I plug it in the only thing that changes on the phone screen is its showing its charging it doesn't give me any option to mount. The same cable will connect my old Flight phone and that phone transfers files just fine. This really has me stumped.
You downloaded and installed drivers from this site? http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SGH-I897ZKAATT
This may sound random and stupid but are you plugging into a USB that is directly connected to the motherboard (back of the computer)? If you're on a laptop there is no way to test this...basically, there was some issues before of people not having their computer recognize their phone and the issue was too low of power from the USB.
Hopefully someone else can chime in as well. I'm pretty new to this too so I can only think of fairly basic things.
Ok the first time I can connect fine.. but after once the USB is unplugged, I can't load it as diskdrive anymore. It won't show up on my PC. The only way I can fix this is to restart my phone.
does anyone else has this problem? quite annoying to have to restart my phone everytime I want to put files in the phone. and I always make sure sure to click "Eject Android Phone", but it made no difference.
i have used connected my device many time to my pc & never came across this issue...& dont chose any option to eject i just unplug the device
if you were running something when connecting to your pc try exiting everything & you should get the interface to choose usb connection mode
on the phone the options always pop up, i can click "mount as harddisk", but on the pc there is no reaction and I can't see the drive.
so the drive pops up for you everytime you plug in the USB? weird.. it might be my windows 7 then.. hmm
Actually it may be your comp, I had this same issue earlier when i was trying to connect my phone, I just changed usb ports and it pops up fine, so perhaps you could try that????
Having a strange issue that I am not quite sure why is happening. I've been having a heck of a time attempting to access SD card with USB, as when I would connect it to my Windows Vista 64 Bit system the USB would constantly connect and disconnect, or my phone would simply never recognize that the USB was connected, or in more recent cases it simply goes into a boot loop or loads into the boot loader. On a hunch I decided to disable USB debugging and no more issues, except for I can't use adb obviously. I have been using my computer to customize my kindle fire, I wonder if that has something to do with it, perhaps the USB driver for adb is causing the issue? Has anyone else seen this issue? Solution? Thanks.
Update: I've come to the conclusion that there is a bad connection. I found that if I take the back cover off and connect the USB to the computer, it would work fine, but if I put any pressure on the battery it would disconnect and reconnect once the pressure was removed. I went ahead and sent out for a warranty replacement.
I upgraded to Sky-ICS RC7.4 Speed yesterday and today. Obviously the USB mass storage was working earlier because I got the .zip file for the upgrade on the phone. Well, just a little while ago I tried to connect so I could pull those zip files off just to save some room and it won't connect.
I can charge the phone, the laptop(Windows 7) and the phone both make sound/vibrate when connected. BUT, with I go to "Connect storage to PC" it tells me to unplug the cable, which it hasn't before but I did it anyway. I unplug the cable press the connect button again it states to connect the cable, I do. Press the button to connect and I get the same result. I've tried enable USB debugging and try again and it states to disable, blah blah blah.
It's great that I can charge the phone via USB all day long but really sucky that I can't access any of my files via my laptop.
Anyone had this issue or know of any fixes that may alleviate this issue? I sure would appreciate your help.
FYI, USB drivers are installed on the laptop and reapplied after the the issue of not being able to connect USB mass storage...
update: I am able to see the two mounts in computer management on my Windows 7 machine but not able to access them through My Computer.
I was reading from other threads about a possible Windows issue, how I find it unlikely, but I did a system restore from an earlier date and that made no difference. It's still a matter of the phone connecting completely to the pc.
Also tried different ports and usb cables, no avail.
I could really use some input so that if need be I can access the files on the phone to either flash back to stock or at least modify the files I have on there now to let me be able to attach my mass storage. I'm liking the the rom it's just a few little things like this that are making me completely love it.
i have the same issue if i plug in to the front usb ports. no problems with the back and its only been since i updated to seans latest speed stripped ICS rom
I was having the same issues. I turned the phone off, took the battery out, and then restarted it. It worked.

Correct; you need to reboot your phone because you probably connected / disconnected too fast and the phone is bugged out now.
I'm on 7.4 speed stripped and its working fine for me. Did you try installing the Samsung USB drivers exe in the dev forum?

Recently we have been getting in stock i997's that are having USB issues connecting to the computer. As always we enable USB debugger and connect to the computer however now the units are going into charge mode a few seconds after connecting to the computer and shutting the device down. Once we disconnect the device from the computer it automatically restarts.
Here is what we have done so far with no luck:
-Enable USB debugging
-Disable USB debugging & enable mass storage
-*#7284# was set to USB=PDA, changed to Modem & back to PDA
-*#9090# Didn't see any relevant options
-Slightly bending the USB port
I don't think it is a hardware issue but a software issue that needs to be configured. Any help would be very much appreciated!!
USB
Get it as stock as you can with software. If the USB still does not connect correctly then it is a hardware issue. There was never a problem in any stock rom with USB connectivity.
Just my thoughts. It may not be the phone but the connection-- Computer, cable, oops,-- or drivers.
I'm facing the same problem !
I too have the same problem very weird tried several time stock have no issue in connection. this issue occur after few days not immediately and no regular pattern so can't say what's going on. right now my phone while put on charge shows charging but when un plug it still have 1% as charge no battery put to charge message shows up, tried with charger, usb to computer.
I also noticed before that charging stops and only come in effect when you pull the battery and plug the cable put the battery it will start the phone automatically and charge start up.
Can't ever put in charge in switch off mode as every time it automatically switch on my phone.
I tried several time these step 1. Go back to stock by heimdall , 2. heimdall kernal flash for red cwm, 3 wipe, format, fix permission 4. flash
couple of days work smoothly then problem reoccurs
Did you try mtp mode like with media player mode

Thanks RDomke for the reply.
We already flashed UCKD5 with no luck. Would there be anything else we could do? I agree that it may be hardware if stock doesn't work but we have been getting in too many units out of box with this issue. Not saying that it isn't possible to be hardware, just seems like it's something that could be software related.
SOLVED

RDomke,
Many thanks as we have solved the issue with your advise. The 1st unit we were testing did in fact have a bad usb port. Once properly diagnosed we tested another by flashing it back to stock and then performing a factory reset. Once done issue was solved and worked on many other with same issue.
