[Q] Problem connecting through USB - Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I have a galaxy 3 with CM7 (kyrillos release) and I'm having a problem when using the phone to transfer files...
When I connect it to any PC without Kies, windows start searching for drivers, but it doesn't find anything, so the phone isn't recognized, and I can't transfer files...
In my pc, with Kies installed, I connected the phone and windows started searching for drivers and found, installed them and it's working fine...
So, what could be done to connect the phone sucessfully in other PCs without Kies?
Thanks

just install kies , it contains some drivers for your sd so the pc can see the sd..otherwise you could use a card reader and connect you sd straight to your pc/laptop

or else got to this thread and download the driver directly

There is no way to get USB storage working without downloading any files?
So I would need to carry with me a pendrive with the driver?!

yes if you don't have internet connection. All usb devices need a driver...

but when I put a pendrive, windows find the driver... but, when I put the phone, windows does not find

there are a few thousand drivers preloaded in windows to increase support out of the box for many devices, it's impossible to include every driver though
i think pendrives use a generic driver anyways

reflash the phone
install adb drivers for samsung in your pc
connect your phone to pc

u can find a small driver pack from google with only 10+m

I think there is no way to conect the phone to pc using cable without installing the drivers. But there is an app that can help you on your purpose, it's the AirDroid, you can find it in the market. With this app you just need to conect to the same wireless network as the computer you want to transfer files, and you're able to transfer files using the internet browser, and others stuff like manage contacts, messages, ringtones, apps...

Any1 will any solution plz help coz my phone is at mess atm and cant flash anything.
the source of the usb issue may be your computer.
1) did you always use the same usb port for your phone?
2) how old is your computer?
3) do you live in a humid environment?
I live on guam, and on my older laptop (only two years old!!!), running winxp, 3 of 4 usb ports are no longer usable due to corrosion. they give errors and even when working, sometimes I could lose the connection by moving the cable slightly. also, the last usb port is now getting difficult to use because it's hard to plug in anything
so, if you answered yes to #1, try another port and be prepared to install the drivers again.
if you answered yes to #3, be prepared to replace your usb if they are indeed corroded
well thnx for answer,but my pc is new like 7 months old,usb ports are working just switched mouse and phone mouse working phone not.its driver relater before i had that error and some1 from xda told me to delete everything(kies drivers) related to phone and his drivers and it worked i also see that error(code 43 is common) but fix with uninstalling driver(worked before now doesnt).thing is that something at that moment didnt work well on phone(last time it was my external sd card had to format it)and now pc keeps repeating same error.simply even tho all drivers are installed i get device not recognized,and under device manager it unknown device,also when i tick option to see hidden devices i see omap 3630 but state is unconnected.

When transferring files to and from pc, do you use the original USB cable that came with the phone? Because when i use other cables, i have this issue, when i use the original cable, no probs at all.
if that also doesnt work, try formatting internal and external SD cards

Connect the phone and go to device manager
If you see the i9003 driver uninstall it then connect the phone to pc again
now windows 7 will download the driver automatically
that's how I fixed my problem

Have you install USB Driver?
I suggest PDANet, you can find it here LINK
using nexusshacks.com to download your adb interface.
Just scan around it is there.
After that, when you plug in your phone. It should say do you want to turn on USB storage. Just click on the big green tab and your SD card should be mounted and connected to the computer

HTC ChaCha USB

Hi there.
My office PC has restrictions on installing USB Drivers. Is there any possible way to connect the phone to PC to read and write files. Earlier i had Nokia N8 which i could connect to PC using PC Suite mode and read/write to my memory card without any additional drivers (probably windows has those drives preloaded). Also Samsung galaxy S2 can be connected to my PC using Kies Sync to read write to memory card (without any additional drivers being installed). Is this possible with HTC Devices (not specifically chacha as none of the HTC device get recognized)
have you tried htc sync?

Yes HTC Sync detects and I am not suppose to install any personal softwares. I dont know how to explain my problem, those who have a S2 or any nokia device will understand better I ll click some images and share to make it more clear..
Both Kies and Ovi Suite install phone drivers. It's impossible to connect a phone without installing drivers, even if as mass-storage device.
Both Kies and Ovi install the drivers when you install the software and connect your phone for the first time. So if your the first one to have ever used N8 or Samsung on your PC then you have installed the drivers

Yes agreed alex. Drivers must be installed for being detected. But have you seen that the drivers for nokia and samsung are never downloaded from windows update or anywhere. The drivers are fetched from the device itself i guess (which shows "searching preconfigured folders" while installing). But incase of HTC devics, it fails..
there is a wireless app on play that allows you to transfer meda files back and forth, but again you ll need to install a wifi dongle via usb unless you are using a laptop

[Q] Clone Korean Galaxy S4 i9500 Fail to identify chipset and usb drivers

Hi,
Have bought a clone Galaxy s4 i9500 phone. Korean Made
Can connect to pc as usb storage device but not as a phone.I am not able to see the operating system files via usb storage just ordinary files. The phone has not any app buttons just a few games preloaded. When connecting to the internet the Baidu page comes up (Chinese)
The phone has limited settings ie Phone settings, Display, Security, Call settings and Connections
Due to this I am unable to check phone components in order to load drivers to connect or to enable usb debugging mode.
Did reset phone and tried many drivers and connection managers.
Phone memory apparently 1.2M? Memory file use presently 884.01k/1.2M
The phone does not have a file manager.
When connecting to a pc the following settings come up, Charging, U Disk and PC Connecting. PC Connecting under under other devices show as Two Usb Devices when connected. I use xp sp3 on the pc.
Downloaded apk programs to pc then to sd card on phone but unable to open them.
The phone built is as below
Can anybody on the forum identify the phone by the pictures.
Thank you
my gfs has the same phone, the korean version, the correct usb driver is an HTC one... i don't know what i did, but windows auto update downloaded that for me and it worked!!! this is just a first step for me.... now i need to root it, and still not getting it .. and no much ppl can help :| anyway for the driver, i hope it works for you! cheers!

OnePlusOne not recognized by ADB/in Android Debugging mode after update to YOG4PAS3JL

Hi,
I have a very serious problem with my OnePlusOne (64GB) after updating to version YOG4PAS3JL. Since the update, ADB no longer recognizes my phone.
It doesn't depend on the computer I'm using, I have tried to use my phone on 3 different computers (Windows) that I use on a regular basis and none shows my phone with the command adb devices.
Connecting via MTP is no problem, but when I enable Android debugging with USB, my phone will not show up in Windows Explorer.
I have also attached a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and a HTC phone, both are recognized by ADB.
If I change the mode to MTP, it will show up as portable device called A0001 in the windows device manager. If I switch to Android Debugging, it will simply disappear and not show up
as "other device" or usb device without driver. So I can't even reinstall Android ADB Interface, it also doesn't show up in the Device Manager any longer. If I try to install a driver for my OnePlus One when it is in MTP mode, it will also only allow me to install MTP drivers (no possibility to install the previously so fine working Samsung USB drivers).
I have literally tried every solution out there I have found, from unplugging and restarting my phone, using different USB ports, using different USB cables, reinstalling Samsung USB drivers (didn't help as phone did not show up as unrecognizes device any longer), uninstalling Google USB driver, adding OnePlusOne to the .inf usb driver file myself (which mostly resulted in an "no compatible driver was found in this folder"-error), installing fastboot (didn't change anything), universal adb driver setup, pdanet, using USDBDeview, removing drivers with the bacon root toolkit to removing mtp files from the inf folder of windows to prevent MTP driver installation, but nothing worked
I would prefer to go back to the version before YOG4PAS3JL, where ADB worked fine or install a different ROM, but I have seen that every guide states that you need to have ADB to install a new ROM. As my phone is not rooted and I can no longer use ADB with my phone, I'm basically pretty stuck and don't know what to do I'm pretty desperate after two days of trying to solve this problem without success and would be so thankful for any suggestion what I could do.
Same situation...let me know if you find any solution.
Same situation here. Anf I guess this might have a link with my lack of internet connection while tethering.
Did any of you tried the USB or wifi tether? Does it work?
