Hi there,
I just bough a Samsung Galaxy Gio S5660. I installer Kies, connected my phone to my PC, and launched the firmware update. Everything seems to be good.
But when my phone rebooted, I couldn't get it to connect to my PC again. When I plug the USB cable, it starts charging but won't show the USB icon. When I turn debugging off, it briefly connects to the PC, then automatically turns debugging on and disconnects immediately.
It's weird. Any idea ?
I have the same problem as you. My phone came with gingerbread so I didn't update it through KIES but check out my thread on what I tried. Nothing worked for me though but there are more people with this issue i found when googling it especially on the androidforums.com .

Hello everyone.
I am having issues with my Note being detected by my PC, I have installed Kies 3 and when the Note is connected the connection process starts but fails ( I tried using camera mode instead of MTP and Kies says It must be MTP so something is connecting), Also the device is detected in the device manager of the PC and the Note itself says its connected by USB 3.0.
I have updated, un-installed re-installed, all the drivers and Kies. I have also used a standar USB 2 cable and most of the ports on my PC.
Does anyone know what's going on? could it be a USB 3 issue with Windows?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

I've been having consistent issues connecting with the tablet through adb, on both linux (2 separate installs), and windows 8.1. Sometimes it just will not detect it. It gets detected as mtp storage fine, but adb devices returns nothing. Ill triple check all the relevant settings, make sure the computer has been authorized by the tablet etc. It will literally work just fine, and then 10 minutes later without even disconnecting the cable to using the tablet, it will no longer be detectable by adb.
I'm hoping it's just bugs in the release firmware that haven't been ironed out yet, and will disappear with future upgrades or with the flashing of a custom rom.
I've also had it refuse to charge through my laptops USB ports, even the special "faster charging" port.
It turns out my issue was the unit itself I took it back to JB-HiFi and the staff checked it out and it wouldn't connect to any of their PCs, we tried the Demo unit and it worked fine, So i exchanged it and it works perfectly..
Thanks for your reply though
Cheers

I have a note 2 I currently use- when I plug the usb in - in windows 7 I get the option to view files etc....
I just bought a used sprint galaxy s5 from my ol ladys sister who had it hooked up at one of those corner wireless shops.
I want to root it but read to make sure your pc recognizes it first- which it does not.
Ive downloaded the latest usb drivers for the phone.
Ive enabled debugging mode.
Ive used the original supplied cord and also tried my note 2 cord.
When I plug it in it recognizes it and detects drivers but the phone does not show up under my computer and I dont get the window popup asking if I want to view files etc.
Getting really frustrated.
Any ideas?

When I plug the s5 into my pc and pull down the notification bar ...it doesnt even show usb connected.
I cant find any usb options other than usb debugging.
I just went through all this same crap with a galaxy mega a buddy had.
I just dont get why there is no "usb connected as" notification and why this is so complicated to connect to pc when my note connects fine
Bad cable? Maybe Bad Drivers? Where did you download them from? Windows is going to try to recognize it as a media device. Ill give you a couple tips
Just because the "popup window" doesnt popup, you probably just have auto play set to recognize it a certain way.
Just copy and paste this into your explorer window:
%windir%\system32\control.exe /name Microsoft.AutoPlay
and then reset it for your phone.
Also.
1. Make sure the cable is actually connecting, like charging the phone, consistantly, not on and off. If it is, then you know thats good, if not, switch the usb drive you have the cable plugged into. USB Ports actually on the motherboard are the ones Ive always had luck with never disconnecting.
2. If you want to root your phone, and you want the adb drivers, Windows wont find those for you.
Thanks for the reply.
I downloaded the drivers straight from the windows usb driver dowload page for my phone from samsung.
Ive uninstalled reboot,installed rebooted.
Ive set usb debugging off/on.
Tried dialling *#0808# which ive read is the code to enable usb but it doest work it just calls the #.
Tried all my moyherboard usb ports
Tried different cable
The original cable charges fine.
This sg5 NEVER has a usb icon when connected to usb... i find that odd.
A samsung mega a buddy had which was also previously hooked up at the same wireless shop that this s5 was..... also has the same exact issue.... no usb icon and not recognised as media by windows and no way to change usb settings.
Its like that wireless shop disabled usb on there phones for some reason.
I had the phone 2 weeks and cant do anything with it untill I can root it.
My note 2 works fine , i get usb icon in notification area,i can switch to media device from there.
On the sg5 theres no usb icon even though it connects fine to the pc as installer

Maybe Im misunderstanding you, but when I have my phone plugged into my pc there is no usb icon, its just connected as a media device and shows its charging. Both screenshots are of my phone while its plugged into my computer
When you plug it into your computer can you access the files on the phone through your windows explorer, like in the first screenshot?
Thanks for replying and the screenshots.
When my phone is plugged into the computer it shows the charging status but no "connected as media device" it doesnt show a connected as anything so nothing to touch for options.
The phone does not show up under windows explorer in my computer.
Ive been using galaxy phones since the original galaxy and never had issues like this.
I just dont get it
I'm similar issues...my phone will just time out in the middle of transfers or won't see the phone at all
Both of your issues sound like driver issues. Heres the link from Samsung for Windows for the S5

To make this issue stranger....
My neighbor came over to borrow juice for her ecig. I noticed she has an s5.
I ask if i can connect it to my computer and as soon as I plug it in with my s5 cable...bam ...connected as media device , touch for usb options.
And my computer brought up the screen to view files.
So i now know its not my pc,drivers, or cables.
I did however notice when I plugged my s5 in.... in the notification area where it would say touch for usb options.
It says "system update"
But i have no sim or service on the phone so it doesnt update.
Could the system update be needed for the usb to work?
How would i even update system ?its nolonger on sprint. I wouldnt want any more over the air updates anyway as im wanted to root so i can save a straight talk apn and probablly flash a custom rom
Yea... this is nuts.
This sprint s5 i got looks and performs like a brand new phone.
But cannot for the life of me get "connected as ......" to show when a usb is plugged in. When i search settings for "pc connection" , "media" , mtp" , usb" etc.....
Theres nothing I can find to enable how to connect when usb is connected.
I dont even know who or where to ask anymore.
Bought this phone weeks ago and cant do anything with it.
My neighbors s5 connects to my pc no problems. So does my note 2.
I just dont know anymore what else to do
i dont see where not having a sim would matter. does the usb port on your phone seem loose or anything? do you have access to another pc to try connecting to that?
ultimately you can get around most things that require needing a usb connection. theres even a wireless adb.
i doubt this will work either, but have you tried seeing if odin will recognize the phone in download mode? (power off the phone and press the power+home+volume down buttons)
also what version of android is on the phone now? if its still on 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 then you might want to look into towelroot, but i think i remember reading thats not working with 5.0
as for rooting, you could try looking for a flashable update.zip , put it on a external sd card, put that in your phone and boot into recovery (power off the phone and press the power+home+volume up buttons) and flash it, then find a custom recovery like clockworkmod or philz touch or something
all in all im 99% sure theres a way to root the phone without having to do anything on a pc, its just a matter of finding a way to do it, and the before choosing a method to tell you to try, i need to know the android version. also im just assuming the model number is SM-G900P, is that right?
Go into your settings and tell me the
Software Version
Model Number
Android Version
and the Baseband Version
once factory reset...usb works fine.
Im now rooted and flashed MOAR
thanks for all who tried to help
Glad you got it figured out
I have a MTCD head unit MX (witson) with Android 5.1, my problem is that the USB port cannot recognize my phones, A note 4 with Android 6.0 (eRobot ROM) and a Samsung GT386T no rooted with stock ROM 4.4.2. The USB port works find with a usb stick, I can play music, pictures, etc. but not my phones. Both have the USB debugging enable.
When I plug a phone it is charging but nothing happens, my note 4 after a few minutes pop a windows saying that there is a problem with the connection MTP and that I need to download samsung Sync etc.
What I want to do is to use the mirror link function.
Any of you know something about this issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I believe i read that there is a specific app that you have to run on these to do the mirror link...easy connect, maybe? Did your HU come with an instruction booklet? I was looking through mine earlier and it went over in detail how to setup mirroring through that app.
Yes, when I tried to use EasyConnected is when I saw the problem. The app waits for my phone to be connected, It says that it must be turned on USB debugging, but it is on. Then I checked in the File manager and the USB was not enable there, like if nothing is plug it. If I plug a USB memory it works fine.
I will try today to do a factory reset.
Thank you!

You ever get this solved? My easyconnected never stays connected. WiFi and USB both are garbage.
WiFi randomly disconnects.
USB also disconnects asks me to allow USB debugging every couple of minutes. The phone never remembers the headunit, so it constantly asks me again to allow connection. Must be a crap RSA fingerprint coming from the headunit.

Nope, Still does not work for me. Same symptoms as you. I already tried with 3 differents phones, factory reset and different versions of easyconnected.
I seem to have USB connection working now with only one "allow USB Debugging?" popup, only when I first connect.
What I did was turn wifi off on the headunit. I am not sure why it worked, but I just wanted to turn everything not needed off, and see if the headunit would stop disconnecting all the time. So far so good. I can probably live with one annoying popup, instead of one every few minutes.
Of course you have to keep the screen on the phone on, and the battery in the phone will deplete faster than the headunit charges it, but still an improvement. I had a 30 minute drive today, and the USB never disconnected!

paniqueado, try the da_anton ROM. I just installed it and easyconnect finally works as it should. I just plug in my phone to the USB and it fires right up! One prompt if any on the head unit, and NO disconnects whatsoever.
My Galaxy S6 keeps connecting and disconnecting from my PC(Win 10) within a second. Its quicker than Dhoni's stumping !
I have tried to use different cables, a brand new one, a fast charging cable and also an old school regular microUSB cable. Nothing worked!
I have disabled "USB selective suspend setting" on both battery and while charged. Still it doesnt work ! I am frustated. Please help!
i have the same problem
My s6 connects fine on my windows 10 pc and laptop. Have you tried connecting your phone to another pc/laptop? If it works on another machine then the issue is with your pc. Make sure you have latest Samsung mobile drivers installed and see if that makes a difference
Hello All,
I'm facing a weird issue on my S10e. After connecting the USB cable to the Windows PC for data transfer, the device will stop responding to data transfer after a minute, unless I restart it again. Get the error 0x80070141 which refers to the device not responding.
I have tried installing updated drivers, run the 'Hardware and Devices' troubleshooter, changed the USB cable and port, restarted the PC. however it does the same, works for a minute and then I cannot transfer anything to and from the PC. it also then stops showing up on Device Manager. Please help me out.
