hey guys,
I'm having problems with my nexus s not being recognized by my laptop when connecting via USB. I even tried using the samsung cable from my wife's vibrant and nothing. Her phone seems to work with both her cord and mines. Also, when I plug in my phone to my xbox 360 USB port, I'm able to mount it there. Only when I connect the phone to my windows 7 laptop, the little android guy pops up in the notification bar for a split second then it disappears. Then the laptop gets a popup saying USB device not recognized. is it a phone problem or a laptop problem? I keep having to load files onto dropbox on my laptop and pull it from there on my phone.
Do you have USB debugging selected? Did you download the drivers for you device to your laptop?

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.
Hi there...
A quick question about the USB...
Is is at all possible to have a USB-port that can still charge the phone, but at the same time is "dead" when you try to connect the phone to the computer ??
I have also asked about it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179171
The story is that the Phone (SonyEricsson X10i) can be charged fine, but when i connect it to the computer, my computer say that the hardware is not recognized, nomatter if it is in flash-mode, mounted from recovery or in the normal way.
And the phone don´t even show anything about USB connection in the status bar eigther.
I have tried 5 different computers now, and 2 different usb cables.
I have also a X10 mini and a Desire HD that works fine on all the computers and both cables.
I have tried to remove software, remove drivers, clean computers, reboot, check the memory-card in the phone, install software and drivers and all other things i can think off...
It is two windows 7 and three windows XP computers btw.
So is it at all possible that the phone can still be charged, but data-connection fail ?
As i see it, there must be some kind of data-exchange or else the computers would not even say "hardware not recognized"...?!?
I'm not quite sure I understood your question correctly, but let's see if this helps:
I used to have phone that didn't have drivers for Windows I used at the time (I think it was Windows 7). That meant that Windows wouldn't recognize it (when plugged via USB cable) and will not therefore provide power to that USB port (hence the phone will not charge).
I was able to get around the problem by going to the device manager, locating the relevant "unknown device" and force installing some random drivers for it -- I don't even remember what it was that I picked -- something that Windows would allow me to do. Of course the port wouldn't work as a data connection like this, but since Windows now 'knew' the device, it powered the USB port and I was able to charge my phone from it.
My problem is that I actually can charge the phone ok...
But I am not able to make a data connection between the computer and the phone at all...
My question is then, if the usb connector in my phone can somehow be broken even though I am still able to charge the phone...?

I'm fairly sure that yes, the contacts or the controller can be broken so that you can still charge but be unable to establish data connection.
Just updated my phone (Nexus S) to cm-10.1-20121223-NIGHTLY-crespo. While it works fine as of now, one problem I am facing is when I connect it to the PC with the cable, though it goes into storage mode on the screen, however it does not show up in the PC. This prevents me from copying files from my computer to my phone.
It shows up in the device manager as a recognized Samsung device, but does not show in My Computer.......Any idea why this could be happenning ?
Thanks
I hope you have installed drivers and phone by USB direct to pc port not thru USB hub.
Happened to me once using USB hub cannot transfer files, so I connect direct and it works.
hey guys last night I was transferring filess from from my tablet to pc and it was working just fine. then today I try to connect it and it says the usb device has malfunctions on my windows 7 pc. The only thing I did different was try to connect my android phone to the keybard dock usb while on ubuntu on my tablet. i wanted to see if I could get my phone to be able to trasnsfer files straight to my tablet. It worked somewhat but it kept auto dismounting so I gave up for the night and went to sleep. Now today my usb is saying its malfunctioned on my pc. any ideas? I've restarted both devices
Need HELP ASAP. I can't get my Nexus 5 to access my internal storage when I connect it with USB on my Windows 8. PC makes a sound when I connect usb, but I can't see my Nexus 5 in "This PC". Device Manager is also not showing anything related to my droid. Restarted both Nexus & Windows. I'm using the same original cable that came out of box with nexus. Please help. It was working fine like 2-3 days ago.
