Hopefully a simple fix.. When i plug my unlocked captivate in my computer reads usb device not reognized? So then i went thru to try and format this brand new card and it wont let me select format? Im not sure what to do and am stumped. an help would be appreciated
try a different cable. for some reason mine gets recognized about once out of 50 tries with the cable that came with the phone but when i use a different one it works every time.
tried 2.. no change.. more info.. when i plug the usb in.. it says select usb mode..kies, media player, mass storage or pc internet.none seem to make a difference. but it does seem to let me format the card and does make it appear available in the sd card and phone storage?? its very confusing..
I ran into a similar problem 2 days ago. My phone was fine for 30 days and then all of a sudden the usb port crapped out on the phone. I had tried multiple pc's, my mac which doesnt require drivers and then a trip to the AT&T store. Those idiots were a waste of my time but tried to connect it to a box for sucking down phone numbers and it wouldn't connect to to the phone either. I am not sure if its a problem from a rom I installed but sorry to say they are sending me a replacement phone tomorrow.
I wouldnt have belived it but a co-worker said try a different usb plug on my computer.. Im glad it fixed it.. a little humbled but im posting just because it may happen to someone else. Whats weird is the usb port works with every other device?? strange but true story thanks for the responses...
yeah none of my usb ports in front of the comp worked, tried back usb ports and had no issue, also keep in my i had drivers installed before hand.
win 7 x64
all of a sudden i cant get my PC to see my captivate, at all. So now I cant do Odin! tried all the ports and also another computer. Ideas anyone?
Just recently my computer stopped recognizing my phone. i plug it in and it says usb device not recognized. i deleted then reinstalled the drivers and that didnt work. shut off the phone pulled the battery and then my computer said downloading drivers or w.e. but then said download failed. tried rebooting and pullin batts on both but still nothing new. Any help?
had the same problem, solution? Get a new/smaller usb cable!
Lol using my old backflip recognizes my captivate and works like a charm, after a while the long usb cable degrades.
Try using a different USB port.

Same problem on my laptop
No problem on my desktop
Just use a 2nd computer
Or reinstall windows
Swyped from gingerbread powered captivate
Had the same problem on my laptop.
Happened after Win 7 SP1.
Strangely it only affects 3 USB ports on the right side. Not the single one on the left. :/

my laptop only has 3 usb ports
so all of them were affected.......bug?
my desktops USB's are fine though
I tried the two on the right and the one on the left but still not working. i still get the option on my phone to mount it and such but nothing happens as usual. Ill try a different cable later today. My roommate has a captivate so when i go home ill try his cable and if that doesnt work then his computer and we shall see. thanks for the responses
I had the same problem. I tried multiple computers, cords, drivers. Nothing worked. Eventually I got a replacement cause it was still under warranty.
Hi,
I am having all kind of problem with my nexus s 4g. I searched around and found some people had their problems because they had the wrong cable. Is there really a difference between non-samsung cables and samsung cables ? Thanks
What kind of problems? I've had problem with the touchscreen responding weirdly when using a different amperage charger. No problem when using ANY cable on the stock charger or on the computer though.

Yes, if you are going to be using adb, or fastboot it is recommended to use the USB cable that came with it. I have used other cables before on the Nexus, and fastboot or usb debugging won't read at times.
Hope this helps.
I have a LG cable. I connected my phone to the computer ( i tried this on a couple different computer ) and i do not see my phone as mass storage device i can only see it as Unknown in Device Manager. I called Samsung and they told me there is no driver for this phone. I have tried PDAnet ( at the page where it asked me to plug in my phone nothing was detected )and have installed SDK with google usb driver. I have also tried Samsung_Mobile_USB_Driver_V1.3.800.0.msi.... . I went to Update Driver and selected List all drivers to have it display all drivers on my computer and there was no ADB devices....

You don't need to install ADB drivers for the mass storage to be detected.
A standard mass storage driver is used when plugged in a computer so you don't need administrator rights.
mabry, that's very strange. Unless the cable is defective, you shouldn't have any issue with adb or fastboot. I've used a cable from an LG phone, a cheap winding cable and at least 2 other cables I've found on the spot (at my parents house) to do adb and pull stuff from the phone while I was away from home. They all worked flawlessly *shrugs*
I have tried two different LG cables and a HTC cable from a HTC windows phone ( dont think that matter..) In total i have tried three cables and on three computers , all same result... I do have the newest 2.3.7 update from Sprint... i bought this phone off of a kid who hasn't been paying his bills so the phone itself hasn't been released for new services but i don't think that would affect how it connects to a computer ...

everything else on the phone works fine. The port itself looks fine and it charges fine ... when connected to a computer or the power adapter...
i have downloaded an app from the market and its called USB host controller. I started the app and on the Info page of the app it shows.."S3C USB Host driver not found!" and "Root hub is not present, USB Host mode not active or not available"... does that mean there is something wrong with the phone itself ?
Cased sealed went to Spring and bought a data cable from them. Now my phone is working just fine. They said sometimes different cables will have pins for different function ( charge, data etc..) Will THANK all that tried to help

Except those cables you tried all have data pins connected, because they were meant to be used with smartphones...
Happy it's working for you, but strange problem nonetheless.
So this issue started a few days ago. Any time I plugged my phone in it would constantly connect and disconnect from the pc. I've tried multiple usb cables, ports, and the 3 PCs I have with the same result on each. Now when I plug it in, it is no longer being recognized by the PC, Odin, ADB, etc... It will charge but that is it.
I have a warranty replacement coming to me however I need to be able to get this one back to stock... Any suggestions?
Before anyone asks, NO it has never been wet, dropped, damaged in any way, set on fire, caught in a land slide, earthquake, what have you.. The phone itself functions perfectly fine. All drivers are up to date, none of my PCs configurations have changed. I have one I use specifically for app development and not even that one will see the phone.
I had the same problem. I used a different cable and it all worked better....now with that said it happened again so I flashed my phone back to stock and all was well.
Then went to flashing ROMS.

Really check out the micro usb cable. A bad cable will just about always allow a device to charge, but data transfer is another story. If you really have tried a few micro USB cables, then it the problem relies elsewhere. Try restarting both phone and PC, and if neither works, sounds like you have a busted port on the Skyrocket.
Thank you both for your responses. I am a PC technician so I followed my usual troubleshooting steps to figure this out. I narrowed it down to either all of my cables are bad (not a chance) or the phone is just f**ked (likely). Ah well ill have to try to use another way to force the stock firmware and recovery on here. Lol
HTC = Hate The Consumer
I use my old Nokia OEM USB cable. Connects with the right number of pins on the USB connection end. I'd check your USB cables for # of pins . Skyrocket uses 5 I believe. Also that there is sufficient power to your USB ports. Aka avoid front USB ports which could only be 4 pin....

When you plug the usb cable in, do you see the usb icon at the top left of your screen? I have to pull that window down to tell it to connect to pc, then confirm it again before mine connects. Mine doesn't auto connect on its own.
I see you've been a member for a few years so if its not connecting, that really sucks man. Hope you get it figured out.

Not running the AOKP ROM are you? The R3 build had an issue with this, and all AOKP will disable USB to PC if you enable 'fast charge' under ROM Control...
Good luck :S
According to what I've been reading you can try using the *#7284# code and setting the USB portion from PDA to MODEM and then back to PDA and it would kickstart the connection. No dice for me though. Ive been through 7 different USB cables already.. I am not about to go and buy one just to keep playing with it my other phones connect just fine using the same cables. No, I am running the latest Sky ICS
So I flashed my infuse from Froyo to GB to ICS and then to JB...but ironically the same day that i flashed to JB, my download mode stopped working.
Ever since I flashed to JB (CM10 and slimbean so far) My computer says "USB device is not recognized or has malfunctioned" and I cannot put the phone into download mode via 2 buttons and usb cable. When I plug the phone in it just turns on and starts charging and the computer wants nothing to do with it.
I know the USB port works because it charges without a problem. I have also tried 2 other windows 7 PCs, and my macbook. Can't get it into DL mode or to mass storage.
Any ideas?

Just cause it charges doesn't mean it works...that just means the power part works...power and data transfer are two desperate things...I've had cords in the past that after a while stopped working as data cables and became strictly charge only cables...
So, have you tried a different data cord? Its likely the data transfer cables got damaged due to normal wear and tear (these cords arent made to last...)

Try a different cable, just do it. Denial is not good. I had same problem then got a different , different cable and it worked. As i tried three cables. I do believe one did work to get mass storage but it didn't work to flash my xperia x10, that's what bugged me.don't really remember as i have bricked these phones so may times experimentation ya know, it is hard for me to remember .
as i was flashing my infuse at the same time i used the data cable that does work with the infuse and my other cable wasn't working it wouldn't recognize and ahhh went through my head so after infuse got done i switched cables and vola it worked.
If not then reinstall drivers reboot pc and get a data cable that is really a data cable .
