USB problems

Hey. My captivate has been working beautifully with these new GB roms until about a week ago when my computer won't even recognize my phone. and all the phone shows that it charging but no notification about USB connection? ive tried different ports and reinstalling drivers all that good stuff and restarting my computer and turning on and off usb debugging and the cable still works with other devices so can anyone help?
Also can you tell me if samsung will replace my phone with a custom ROM on it? im thinking of doing this because i cant flash back to stock without the USB working!

Are you sure the cable is 100% functional? What other devices?
Try plugging it in to another computer as well

I have had that problem on a few gb roms too. Go into USB settings and change them to kies and then plug your phone into the computer using your USB cable. Just leave it plugged in for a few seconds, you don't have to wait for your phone to be detected. After unplugging the cable, restart your computer and phone. Once both are running again, go back into USB setting and change them back to USB storage and then plug your phone back into your computer, making sure you use a USB port directly connected to your motherboard. Works for me everytime.
Edit: If you suspect that your USB cable is not working, see if Odin will detect your phone in download mode. Don't flash anything, just see if it says connected in Odin.

it didnt work if i just go to samsung and give them the phone with the custom rom on it what would they do?

Download kies and see if your computer will detect your phone in kies mode. You could always get an SD card and put all the files on the card then move them to your internal SD. If you have a custom rom installed you can flash stock using cwm. Did you try connecting your phone in download mode to your computer running Odin??? If it doesn't detect it then your USB port is not working or your USB cable is broken. If it is working flash stock and start again. It could be a bad flash.

i have had the same problem a couple days ago, plugged in another captivate into my computer it recognized it. then plugged in my phone and everything was working fine again.
try plugging in anothe android phone running froyo or whatever version you have

Can you get your phone into download mode?

Sounds like it could be, try plugging it into the back of the computer and see if that helps.

The USB drivers for download mode are in the bootloaders and has nothing to do with the USB drivers for the rom. Even if you had a bad flash and the USB portion of the rom was corrupt, your computer would still be able to detect your phone in download mode. See if you can plug your phone into a different computer either at a friends house or at work to see if they can detect your phone with your cable. If not, you will need a new cable.

So what if that didn't work and nothing was wrong with the cable? Would it be my USB port on the phone because the cable wiggles when I put it in.

Computer won't recognize friends ns4g but does mine?

I wanted to root my friends ns4g but my of won't recognize it. He had a galaxy s 2 as well and it was the same issue.
I installed pdanet, Samsung drivers, different USB cords, nothing!
When I plug it in nothing happens, then about 5 mins later, USB not recognized. I manually tried to put the .inf file through the windows 7 wizard and still nothing.
Like I said my ns4g works perfectly fine, when I plug his in nothing works at all. I don't understand this at all. I have a 64bit system and made sure everything was for that. Can anyone help me out?

Can you mount usb in either recovery (if applicable) and android? Have you tried with usb debugging enabled? Also, does it show you no android device is connected in device manager?

help someone please! lol

There was something i read about the fast charge widget messing up the ability of the nexus to properly connect to the computer and a fix. Part of its design is to block USB file transfer when connected to a computer. There were several phones that couldn't connect after loading the widget.
Before i go and waste a bunch of time researching and digging for this. I would like to know if your friend has installed the fastcharge widget on his phone.

Its soo strange. I plug my phone all good, I plug his NS4G, no detection. It's strange.
Same thing happened when i was trying to root his tmobile gs2. No driver worked.

did you install tbe drivers by booting into bootloader while pluged in?
Sent from my LS670 using XDA

yeah, didnt work. Factory Reset the phone too.

Try a different USB port on PC and pull the battery for a min.

Try drivers from Samsung support page. It took me a bit. But usually the pdanet drivers work. You could try another pc that does not have the drivers for the nexus.

i have the exact problem like u. when i connect my note 10.1 to my pc via usb, my pc wont detect my note storage even though i set it at MTP. the only thing that come out is scanner and camera wizard. please someone help

If I remember correctly when I connected my GNote10 to my laptop all I could see was the sdcard not the external card. Well it could seevthe external sdcard but not what was on it. I put it down to the fact I run Linux and the drivers for the GNote10 may be different. However now I use WiFi File Explorer Pro and Bluetooth for transfering files as it seems easier for me.

There is a app to fix this on SSamsung apps store search for kies it will be there

Erica, unfortunately, this app does not install. If you're talking about Kies Saver WiFi.

Try connecting it to another Windows computer to see if it is detected to rule out whether or not it is a specific computer's issue or your tablet.
If it's just that computer then only thing I can think of is if you go to the Device Manager in windows and look under the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" Host controllers and see if any have an exclamation mark.
From there you can try uninstalling that device and then either reconnect or reboot your computer and reconnect and see if it now detects it.

Could try this program on your computer to remove usb entries.search google for usbdview program for your pc.it will show all conmected usb devices remove old android conmections
Good luck this helped me before

I solved the issue like THIS:
Downloaded KIES
ran " connectionproblems" function of KIES (drivers will be newly installed)
Restart PC
Connect
And , voila, MTP works flawless ...........

FIXED
I pluged it in like you had and just got the un-ending "Connecting" in Kies. It showed the device ID (GT-N8013) in the connected device tab however it would never fully connect.
So what I did was while it was trying to connect in Kies I changed the connection type in the Note from MTP (Media device) to PTP (Camera). I got a few error messages in Kies saying that it can't connect to the device because the device was in the wrong mode. After I cleared those error messages and Kies stopped trying to connect. I than set the USB PC connection back to MTP and let Kies do its thing and no problemo there it was.
Hope this helps some of you! Have fun! Also the kick in the pants is that there is no firmware update available still stuck at 4.1.2. I was hoping 4.2 would be available.

same problem as OP
I have the same problem as OP, my PC just doesn't recognize that a device is plugged in. The Samsung note 10.1 beeps and charges but that's it, my PC is non the wiser to anything changing at all.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit and I've tried it on my brothers PC, same OS, and my dads which is 32bit. re-installed windows, fully updated Samsung and windows, Kies just says "plug in a device"
USBDeview doesn't recognize anything.
Nothing in device manager.
I've contacted Samsung after searching high and low on Google for an answer and they diagnosed it as faulty.
Repair center says it's working fine and sent it me back.
There must be something I'm missing on the tablet, could it be a faulty USB cable? I have really run out of options.

because its rooted
wont work because its rooted i even tryed voodoo root keeper and samsung wont let me update becasue its rooted .. kinda stuck. cant even connect computer to install custom rom

I don't know if this is the case with you, but I experience connection problems very often, in particular with OTG. Connection seems to be reliable immediately after reboot but after a (short? longer?) while it stops and won't work anymore.
My guess is that a driver is not correctly reset when the tablet resumes from sleep.
It might be a problem introduced with the latest OTA.

Same here bro.. I tested to another PC but still not recognize.. maybe from the note?
Please everyone.. help help help

Fixed it with a £2 USB cable off eBay. If you have nothing but the tablet charging try a new cable. Worked for me after sending it to Samsung for repairs twice.

Try to turn on USB Debugging in Developer Setting. I'm using N8013 and that method works for me

My Note 10.1 (2014) wasn't being recognized in My Computer by the laptop running Win7, so I found the tablet in the Device Manager, double-clicked on it there, and downloaded the drivers. Loaded up flawlessly after that.

USB connection Problem

Hey guys, I have a usb connection problem with my galaxy r. I haven't found a similar thread in this forum here yet so I hope you guys can help me with that.
If I plug my phone to the PC (Windows 7 x64) I hear the typical response tone that it is connected. Just a second after that the tone for successful disconnection comes up and nothing except for charging happens. Then I unplug the cable and put it back again and all the sudden it has been recognized. I can normally go to internal and external sd card. Sometimes copying files from the phone to PC fail too. I have no idea for this weird behavior.
My phone is on stock 4.0.4 rooted and on 3.1.10 titanium.s-rc-2 kernel
USB debugging is on
I already tried to clean the micro usb port with a tutorial of telmosousa but it didn't work for me so maybe it could be a software problem but I have no idea.

it is compatible with 64bit windows 8 also.

I suggest you take a backup of your current rom using CWM, Flash any gingerbread stock rom and check if it problem persists. If it does then you have a hardware issue, if not, then it's definitely a software thing. Also, do check your drivers installed in the PC as they do play a role in communicating with your phone. I had a similar issue once and it turned out that the rom was absolutely fine and my drivers were having issues. I sorted it out and my problem was solved

Happens to me when I connect the phone with capdase (ignore the spelling ) case on. Try connecting to the PC without case.
