I have a quite unusual problem when i connect my mobile phone to PC. It's very hard to explain nature of my problem. I can't figure how to describe it so I made a video to show you:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtqCkyRXArc
Little explanation:
When I connect my mobile phone to PC everything gets synced like it should, but active window on my screen every few seconds gets selected and then it deselects so it's very hard to do anything, a specially write something as it doesn't register some of the letters i pressed. In video I'm writing numbers in order and you can see that in the period of time when active window deselects it self it doesn't registers numbers that I entered.
I recently upgraded to Vista 32-bit and Windows Mobile Center 6.1.6965, but I had the same problem on WinXP with ActiveSync installed.
I'm searching internet for weeks now to find solution, or someone with same problem, with no success.
Is there anybody else with this problem or with possible solution?
I would appreciate any info!
Thank you!
It seems the focus is moving away from your current active window for some reason. This is the same effect you would get if, for example, you were to click on some other windows while continously typing in notepad, and then clicking on the notepad window again..
must be due to some program running in the background.. does this happen only with the sync software running?

Yes. it happens only when i connect my Vox to PC. I lost my charger so I charge my Mobile phone via USB. To be able to work on my PC while charging my Vox I have to disable USB connection in connection settings of device center, because it is really annoying to work on PC when focus is moving away from active window every few seconds. I had the same problem on WinXP with AciveSync.
I don't know which program could do such a thing, and do it only when I connect my mobile phone? Because i had the same problem on XP I'm starting to think maybe something is wrong with my mobile phone. I did hard reseted my phone few times. No effect.
You simply might want to try a different Mini-USB-cable. I lately had problems with the phone synching for only 45 seconds, then dropping out. After two days of hair-pulling I simply changed the cable - and everything worked fine.

at first I thought it worked, but in few minutes it started to do the same thing again.
Hello.
I asked the forum search about it, but cant find really an helpful answer.
I do have strong problem with Active Sync. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes, I got to install Active Sync new or drop out the device and add it new to get it done.
Button for fast data connection at the Touch Pro is enabled. Working with 4.5.0 and XP.
Can someone please get me a tip?
Hardware Problem?
I had the same problem with my TyTN II which is the reason I switched to Touch Pro.
The problem I could not synch was because of the MiniUSB connector. I had to change the main board twice. So now my wife owns the TyTN II
i solved that problem by changing another usb slot (it didn't work with USB from my monitor...)
Thank you.
I tried all 6 USB Ports and nothing helped.
Also, I tried to disconnect all other USB devices, also enabled and disabled the "Charging while connected to the PC" button.
Any other suggestions?
I also had thrown out the second device I had in Active Sync.

Have you disabled "advanced network functionality" in Settings>Connections>USB to PC ?
also try reinstalling active sync again...
@Wonkotehsame:
Yes, I disabled this function.
@ yahu:
So I did. Not just one time, many times. Always after reinstalling, it workes. Some time later, I am loosing connection.
Also, if I try to copy larger files like GPS software with appr. 1,4 Gb the transfer to the Memory card stoppes with the failure message: no such file found.
Can this be something along with the Active Sync problem?
I too have problems with this. ActiveSync says phone is set up to sync with a different computer, but it's not.
Still nobody any hint for this problem?
My problem is a little bit diferent...
My vista won't sync with my Artemis, but it syncs with my Glofiish M700..
If i change the PC (OS XP x64), the artemis syncs.....
So, my Vista Notebook is angry with my Artemis... neither USB/BT sync can be done...
Nice to hear that a lot of people have similar probs ;-)
What I have done now, deleted all of my connetions features/partnerships and made all new.
For now (maybe until Monday...) it works, but now I dont get a folder on the desktop of my mobile device. Is this an optional setting? Can someone tell my how to do?
I dont believe that NOBODY has an help for this problem.
As of today, no Active Sync in any ways is possible with my phone. Even not if I make a new installation.
Also; I made sure that all Anti Virus and Firewalls do allow all 3 Active Sync Files.
What can I do else???
Another try for the specialists:
I have copied now my Outlook.pst to a different Desktop, installed there the Active Sync. I worked w/o prob. That means, the problem got to be with the Desktop.
Last try: Who can help?

Looks like you are on your way to finding the root cause. I would try the same computer but a different user to see if it is related to the user setting.
This is what I have done last night. 2nd user, installed OL new and also Active Sync.
Nothing. Same problems.
I restarted the Desktop AND the device several times.
Nothing.
But, when I came this morning, it worked the first time.
The second it failed. I will go and purchase a new Desktop for the thanks of Mr. Microsoft!
has anyone found a real solution for this problem?? mmy computer recognizes the phone a a disk drive bt active sync does nothing. any help would be greatly apprecated
I'm getting this too. Sometimes ActiveSync works, sometimes it doesn't. I can't figure out what causes it to work and not work...
Theres only two possible solutions I know of from all I've ever heard of the problem:
1. Settings-->Connections-->USB to PC. Also, I know the prompt asking you if you would like to use as a disk drive comes up if you've set your phone to be read as an sd card reader. If the pop up annoys you, try removing the SD card and trying again.
2. Hard reset.
Sorry if it doesn't seem favorable to you guys.
Has anyone figured out the problem with changing notifications? My email notification (gmail) switches to a random mp3 file at least once a day, and I don't connect the phone to the computer in storage mode, so unavailability of the assigned sound cannot be blamed here. It's not a big deal, but rather an annoyance.
Thanks!

As noted in the stickied FAQ at the top, this is a known issue.
Connecting the phone to the computer at all causes the phone to go into a "pre-mount prepping stage" in which the OS will start separating itself from the SD card partition. I don't know if that's technically what happens, but that's what's been my observation.
Btw, this issue and some workarounds(only surefire one requires root in my experience) have been discussed in greater detail here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882803 . Insert generic please use the search funuction comment here. /endmodimpersonation.
This is certainly the same issue as we're discussing in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882803
Please go to this http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13413 link and STAR the issue. We're trying to get Google's attention to fix this ASAP.
Meanwhile, a work around, if you're rooted, appears to be to put the desired sound into the /system/media/audio/(ringtones, notifications, proper sub-folder) folder.
My Galaxy Tab 7.7 turns on every few minutes and displays a message for a moment in the lower right corner. The message is "USB Device Disconnected".
The device is not connected to any USB device.
This has been happening for many weeks now.
I've tried to turn the USB Debug option on but that didn't change anything.
I have not rooted the device.
I have not flashed the device.
I am running only stock applications from the market.
Does anyone else have this issue?
It's maddening because the device constantly turns itself on. At night I either remove it from my bedroom (the display lights up the room when it comes on) or turn the device upside down on the table so I can't see it when it comes on.
yes, i have the same issue
no idea what the reason is
Same issue.
One Added Note
One item to add...
It appears that if the unit is charging it does not have this problem. This makes logical sense as the USB is connected, albeit to the wall outlet.
I'm going to wait until ICS - which is due here in Thailand at the end of this month. If that doesn't fix it I will contact Samsung.
Living here in Asia makes taking things back for repair very difficult as the many small but authorized vendors aren't set up for this, the language barrier adds heavily to the issue, and finding an English speaking official Samsung office is quite difficult.
I will monitor the forum to see if a fix arrives before my software update.
Thanks everyone!
Same problem here. When this happen for me the mobile network disconnects, I am thinking that it may be some problem with the mobile network card...
When connected to wifi this is not visible although i might get the usb message.
But on 3g i loose all connection sometimes only for a second but sometimes for up to a couple of minutes...

Update
I wanted to add some more information...
I happened to remove my carrier's SIM a week ago and the "USB device disconnect" error continues at the same rate.
I guess my next question is how do you contact Samsung support?
Do they have a Tablet support phone number?
I don't care which country the support line is located within, as long as it's English-speaker focused.
bump
very annoying to lose mobile network all the time
I changed Galaxy Tab 7.7 (3G Version) three times, all three tablets had same problem.... any idea to fix it?
I think the problem gets worse if the tablets not been rebooted for a while.
But after reboot I think mine is a bit more stable.
How is it for the rest of you?
---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------
I also find it weird that you have the same problem with three tablets, but at the same time it seems that very few of us are affected???
I called Samsung and they said they never have complaints on this issue.... anyway, i got three devices from different stores have the same problem.. I think the issue is the rom. That problem hopefully can be solved after ICS upgrade...
Same problem; not so often but it happens once in a while.
I don't know if it is causing the instability that I have noticed with this device but it is kinda weird.
Do you have micro SD card plugged into the device? I read some other forums and some people removed the micro SD card, the issue resolved afterward.
I just removed the micro SD card, I will let you guys know if the issue can be fixed or not soon...

Solved
I think all this happens because of Kies software. It's a monster, I will never use it any more. Even uninstlling may not help. Better use MobilEdit instead.
Anyway, I found solution in registry. So, try this:
Before starting, disconnect all usb devices from PC
1. Open Windows registry editor
2. Open key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Enum\USB
3. Press CTRL+F and search in data value your device name (egz. Samsung)
4. Delete all key branches with name started: Vid_*** where your device will be found (You may have to enable permissions first).
Reconnect device. That's all
i have the same 'problem' but..., never used Kies software
Anyway, solution is in the registry. Evidently some usb drivers are conflicting.
Deleting those Vid_*** keys simply resets usb drivers on particular port.
You can check your phone on another computer without driver

I don't see how this has anything to do with the problem.
The USB device issue is happening on the tablet, not on the PC. How does removing USB drivers from my PC fix the tablet issue?

Sorry, I didn't notice, that device is disconnected
Same problem with GSM version. Could someone try log at the logs when/after it have happend? Dmesg and logcat. Will also try to do it myself.
same issue here. Never used kies before. I'm not sure if it has something to do with interfering gadgets near the tab.
Strange thing some (or most) people dont notice that bug(?). I tried several 7.7's now and can confirm that this looks like rom issue as every 7.7 has that problem. It really annoys me, escpecially combined with the battery status screen-on bug. When battery is lower than 10% screen turns on like every 2 minutes or so... Good thing to save remaining battery
Oh and I never used Kies too. Didn't even install it yet.
Hi guys,
Im in big big trouble. I have samsung A5 (2015) which I did not use for the past few months. Now when I decieded to sell it and to put my pictures and docs
on hard disk, It happened that I forgot my passcode. So the device is not connected with the internet, and debugging mode is off. I have many files in the device itself and not on SD.
I tried ADB with no success - that's how i know that the device is not in debugging mode.
I opened my google account to check - the device is not active.
No custom recovery installed or ROOT - everything is stock.
I tried to call on the number to try to connect to wifi when in dialing mode, but than I remembered that I redirected my calls to my actual number.
So is there any solution? I searched the web for the past few days and I'm about to lose hope.
Thanks in advance!

Well I'm not sure there is any way to get those files off of the device without remembering the password. If the files aren't too important and you still want to sell the phone, just boot to the bootloader (power off, then hold power, volume up, and home at the same time until bootloader loads) and use the volume down key to go down to wipe data/ factory reset and click volume up to do it. Of course you won't get to keep the files, but the password wouldn't be an issue anymore.
Thanks for the answer. I would like to make everything possible to save the files first, but as I continue to research.. maybe Im out of options
I managed to log in my Samsung account "find my mobile" where I have an option to remotely disable the passcode, but since I do not have internet connection Im not able to do anything.
So sad.. files are there but I can't reach them.. because of my stupid head..
If some have any idea - I'm ready to try whatever.
Thanks in adnvance!

I actually just thought of something. If you are able to remotely remove the password, but can't get to the wifi, you might be able to use an OTG cable (micro USB to full usb) and get a USB to Ethernet adapter to plug your phone into your router for a wired internet connection. I'm not sure if this would work for Android or for this specific phone, but that's possibly a way.
