I've looked everywhere and cant seem to find an answer, so i figured i'd start a new thread.
My captivate used to connect to my computer just fine, but there was another computer it would just NOT connect too! Well, after a few months, it stopped connecting to my home computer as well.
I have USB debugging on, the phone is rooted and everything. When I plug it in and mount the USB drives, i get drives J and K on my computer, one for the internal storage, and one for the SD card i have in the phone.
When double clicking any of those drives, it just sits there and reads forever without ever doing anything. I can use the SDK to run "adb devices" and it see's the phone, Odin One Click finds the phone but freezes on reading file line, or just fails all together.
Any ideas?
Try reinstalling the samsung usb drivers and restart your computer, that'd be my first step.

You have to be on the touch wiz home screen if you're trying to connect to Kies, otherwise turn on USB debugging and you should be good to go

SeenNotScene: I've uninstalled, rebooted, re-installed several times. I've been having this problem for a couple months now and i've tried everything i can think of. It doesnt work
bkhams: I dont even know what Kies is? I always have USB debugging turned on, and once connected i bring down the drop down menu and mount the USB so i can access my phones files as if they were another drive.
I had the same problem, and Samsung peeps told me I had to use the USB cable that came with the phone, low and behold they were right. Connected right away with the USB that came with the phone, could that be your problem?
I had the same problem in the past and it was actually a hardware problem with the Captivate and not anything with the computer. I ended up taking the phone in and they exchanged it for me.
I do not know if yours could be having the same problem, but that was my experience. Frustrating, to say the least.
Hmm... Could be the hardware i guess.. I know its not the cable though because i've only ever used the cable that came with it.
Have you tried connecting to the USB port directly off the motherboard? My connections were "sketchy" at best when using the ports of the top of the computer case. Once I connected directly off the MOBO, zero problems since.
Sloved!

Thank you for suggestions! My front USB connector is probably connected to some internal HUB, not going straight to the motherboard and wont work. Connecting directly to MB USB solve the problem. I am a little bit surprised... but whatever - M$ bull*hits. I spend couple of hours yesterday to find out whats going on. Thank you again!
My Desire s won't charge from the adapter.
After connecting to a PC via HTC's cable nothing happens
I also used another USB cable (from external HDD) to connect with the same results.
Can anyone help please?
Install HTC app for Desire S.

I don't say that i can't sync my htc. The USB port is totally dead on the phone! I can't use the htc charger my car charger and any other micro usb cable to charge or connect to a PC.
Today i sent my DS back and waiting for an answer this week.
Also waiting for an explain on the red notification light leaking on the top side of the phone.
This is really wire, and I haven't seen anything like this. Connected to PC with USB cable, DS should jump out some alert to select how to connect your mobile.
If the HW fails, Android has no means of knowing you're attemting to connect anything to the system...this is most likely a HW problem, so sending it back for repair/replacement was the right thing to do
So my girlfriends little brother gave me his skyrocket. He asked me to backup his pics, which I did with no problem. I then did a factory reset. After that, my computer does not recognize the phone! I've tried different cables, different computers. My girlfriend has the exact same phone, connects right away.
I even flashed it with a different rom and put ICS on it. No luck! I then proceeded to take it to a phone repair place, thinking it might be the actual usb port. They said they checked out the port, and it look fine. All solder joints were good, no bent pins.
The weird thing is, is that it connects on an average of 1/20 times! It charges perfectly too. The phone doesn't go in and out of charge mode if i wiggle the cable either. I'm kind of confused! Is there a file on the phone that tells the computer what it is when connected? If so, can I manually replace that file? WHAT DO I DO!
When you goto recovery mode can you goto mounts and say mount usb? and does the pc recognize it then?

Kind of. We had trouble with it when flashing it. I personally didn't flash it. I watched my friend do it

You could try installing the drivers again..
You mean on the computer? I did that. No luck. It does connect more often though WITH the drivers.
I had some problems with USB connectivity too. Using the cable that the Skyrocket came with solved my issues.
Have you tried any combination of restarting and reinstalling the drivers?
Swyped from my Nook Tablet, running CM7.
Yes. I've tried multiple cables including the stock cable. Installing drivers, restarting both devices. I have definitely ruled out the cable, the PC ( PC's actually), and the physical USB port.

I had similar issues, messed with phone for a bit and came up with this
System settings>more>USB utilites
Now I got a screen that says USB mass storage with a button that says Connect storage to PC. Tap Button.
A window will pop up asking to Turn off USB debugging (if on) Tap OK
Connect USB cable to storage (plug USB cord into PC).
You should now be at the USB Mass Storage screen, Tap button at bottom (Turn on USB storage)
I found this to be the way to turn on Mass Storage since I flashed ICS, I believe. Hope this helps you, it took me a little while to figure out.

Of course, that's how it's always been except in a slightly different location on ICS
I've tried that also. Didn't work

it basically sounds like the USB port on the phone is dead. Warranty that sucker
I took it to a repair shop. They said the port was perfectly fine!

Not to mention that it was working perfectly before I did the factory restore
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA
how exactly did the repair shop test it?
try plugging it into another usb port on the same computer or try using a different computer. It could be the usb port on the PC itself.

That's the first thing he tried, it's in the OP
yeah i've tried everything! The repair shop determined that the port was good by examining it under a scope and they also said they tried re-flowing the solder joints. They said they wanted to stay away from replacing the usb port because it was very difficult to replace, not to mention they didn't warranty the job!
Someone has to know the answer to this!

if its still under warranty replace it, thats all u can do. No one else in this forum besides u can physically touch the phone, so if you've tried all suggestions thats all thats left

Hello there
Ive got a problem. I wanted to Root my SL101 (Firmware 4.0.3 Android) with Peri or THe 1 Click Solution. But the original usb cable only charged my device when I plugged in to power socket. BUt USB on PC didnt work. PC never found device, didnt search for driver and no "BLing" for USB device plugged in. So I ordered a new usb cable (not original, cause asus sl101 already 3 years old). The new cable worked. USB found on PC. Data transfer worked. Charinging over power socket worked, but no charging when connected to pc. When I enabled USB Debugging, it said "Device removed" and then "device started". But there was no deivce seen on computer. No "internal storage". So there is no possibility to transfer data and Root won't start cause it doesnt find device. I installed all driver (ADB driver, also tried Asus Pc Suite), but it doesnt work. Is my device broken or is it because of the cables? Are there any working cables on internet with better quality and supporting USB Debugging? The non original cable is from vhbw.
Is this a common problem with Asus Sl101? I searched for related problems. SOmeone also had problems with Asus original cable. It also charged plugged in to power socket but not with PC and Pc never fund USB conection, never searched for drivers. He ordered a new cable (original, cause his case was years ago) and it worked.
Any ideas how to get it work? Its not really important to root it though, but I wanted to buy Titanium Backup so I can save my apps, and I need root for it. There are f course plenty other apps needing root. Any advices?
Not sure about the data transfer error apart from lack of drivers, but the PC will not charge the tablet while it is running - at least for the TF101 anyway, the only way to get the PC to charge it is to either turn it off while its plugged into the PC and leave it overnight for trickle charge, or I think also if the tablet is in sleep mode, it will also trickle charge - but you have to use the main charger to get a fast charge into it - PC will only trickle charge

First of all, thanks for answering. I tried it, but when I plug in USB, Asus SL101 turns on. I won't charge turned off. It turns on automatically when I plug in USB to charge. And when its turned on plugged in on PC USB, as I explained before, it won't charge.
Somene know where I can get a working cable? Maybe an original working one? Asus SL 101 is maybe 2 or 3 years old know. Shouldnt there be still original ones left in shops? Actually it doesnt have to be an original one. A working one is fine, too. (Working means for me: USB, Charging, USB Debugging). So anyone knows good stores/internet offers (amazon, ebay...) for sl101 cables? Cause I really dont know which one is a good one.
Plug it in to USB and then turn it off, you won't see it charging, it is a very very slow process when you charge from PC (If it works the same as the TF101) - leave it overnight plugged in and turned off
Sounds like your cable is working fine, you get a data connection with USB debugging - so data side of the cable works, and you get a charge when you plug it into the charger, so power side of it is working too
It's likely drivers stopping you using the media transfer mode
eBay would probably be your best bet if you want another one
asusparts.eu sell some stuff too - fits SL101

Ya actually I didnt want to complain. The cable really works fine, but I cant root cause USB Debugging Mode is found by PC, but showing no storage icons on computer. So Root Software dont find device and no data transfer works while it is in debugging mode. Could it be because of my device? Actually it was from germany and the firmware also was DE. But for updates, I had to change it to WW code. Maybe its cause of firmware. I really dont know. Its strange cause for everyone it works, only for me it doesnt work. So original cable was to begin with not working on usb pc. So I hoped the fake one would work full. *sigh*
Thanks for the link. I searched for only the cable (on the given link) and I found it without adapter. But its a pity, Im in germany and if they send the cable to me, I have to pay 46$ for the cable. For US people its 25$ (cause they dont have to pay oversea sending costs). If its also not working, so it would be a problem.. even warranty is expensive (sending back ~20$).
Is there a way to downgrade SL101 from 4.0.3 to Firmware Version 3.2 without using USB Debugging and root?
Case closed, Watson (I always wanted to say that)
I found the error. The cable is working now and USB Debugging working, too. Root was successful. I opened device manager and deleted Asus Epad Sl101 driver and plugged sl101 in. So windows had to search for drivers and it installed the right drivers. I dont know why preinstalled ADB Drivers didnt work, but now everything works.
Thanks for your effort
Great, yea sounded like a driver problem, pleased you got it working :good:
I've now purchased THREE USB OTG straight cables (not Y) that did not work with my Shield Tablet... Is there some sort of trick i don't know about? Some special kind of OTG cable i need to buy? Some setting i need to enable for it to work?
I've tested the cables both with usb keyboard, mouse and various properly formatted USB drives - none detected at all. They dont work either with my Nexus 4 phone or Nexus 7 2012 tablet (but i suspect those models dont even support USB OTG, so doesnt say much).
Can anyone point me to a straight USB OTG cable that actually works with the tablet?
Are you running the latest OTA , Android 5.1? The OTG is broken in this version. Try plugging in the cable while tablet powered off the booting up. You won't be able to charge tablet until reboot though.

Man, I updated while traveling for 45 days!!! Loss of OTG for thumb drives, hub connection, camera image off load, wired Ethernet....what a loss!!!any word on when they will release software that at least makes it fully functional again? Plus the constant app optimization every boot cycle..I am hoping their self driving cars and self cooking ovens and make believe cities get better attention!

According to their website they expect an update by the end of the month that should fix these issues.
