Hi all!
Does anyone know how to deal with a strange bug I'm experiencing after the 4.4 update?
Basically, if my device (Galaxy Note GT-N8010) is on and I try to charge it via the PC, nothing happens and I cannot charge it, but when I switch off the device I can easily charge it.
I also tried full reset and reflash, but the problem is still there.
Transfers, sync, Kies work fine, so I think I can exclude a PC related issue.
Any help is appreciated.

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.
as title,
how to solve this problem? i've been having that problem for about 2 month.
i wanted to flash my wm again so i need to get this fixed before i can do so.
can anyone please give me some advice to solve the problem? thankyou.

yeh i've checked everything. i even use the different port. and cable. also tried on the other two laptop, which is the same thing T____T, i can't even charge my phone from the computer, which is the saddest.
anyone know how to fix it? i tried some way, which is from the windowsXP help and support center. i've done everything but still the same. i took it to some stalls and asked if they can fix it,and they have no clue D:
HELP HELP T_T
Ummm, I guess you tried soft reset?
And / or hard reset?
So its not recoginised at all then. Um try going to device manager and then uninstalling the driver and then press scan for new hardware and see it will reinstall correctly.
Before this reboot the computer and phone and try again as Bodisson said, that normally does it tbh
Ummmm.... maybe you could also try reinstalling ActiveSync on PC.... before SR/HR...
I have the exact same problem. I can charge but no data connection.
Tried on different computers and OSes. No luck.
I'll try to check if any pin got damaged.
where can i get the drivers for it?
If problem is only on your PC, try following:
Uninstall ActiveSync. Reboot PC. Reinstall ActiveSync (ver 4.5 - do NOT keep any previous settings for it).
That should normally be enough.
Also be careful: Similar thing can occur if you're syncing with more than one PC!
Device is sometimes recognized, but you can't sync at any time.
If problem occurs on other PCs too, then I'm afraid you have to go trough hard reset procedure.
If even that does not help, I'm afraid it's repair center time...
I had this problem, the only way for me to solve it was to have it sent to the repair centre, they changed the mainboard, and since you say that you have flashed it you havn't got any Warranty left.
I have an official Windows 7 PRO, and I use it since july with Win 7 RC and I don't know why but I have the exact same problem for 2 days now !!!
It worked fine and then, out of nowhere, now i got usb connection problem !!!
I did at least 10 hard reset, and it's the same problem on the lab top of my wife!!
Ok, so I have been having a very annoying issue(s) recently with my SGH-I997R, ( Firmware version 2.3.3, Baseband version I997RUXKG3, Kernel Ver: 2.6.32.7-I997RUXKG3-CL366622)
This all started out of the blue about a month ago, I used to connect my phone to my PC all the time for transferring items via Mass Storage, and then on day when I went to connect it to my same PC, I got " USB Device Not Recognized". It will charge the phone but will not connect or show any option on the phone to connect. I have tried 2 Samsung cables and a generic Micro USB cable, No change. I tried connecting to my laptop, same issue. I re-downloaded the drivers from Samsung onto both my usual PC and Laptop, no change. Very very frustrating.
Other issues, I don't know if their related in any way but they all started at the same time.
a) if I place my phone in airplane mode i cannot get it out of that mode without rebooting my phone
b) if i shut my phone down (doesn't matter if battery shows 100% or 25%) I cannot get the phone to turn on without plugging in the USB cable.
c) When I leave my phone charging overnight and look at it in the morning, battery shows 100% but also shows "NO SERVICE" , I reboot the phone with the cable still connected, service restored.
IF anyone has had these issues Especially the connecting to PC issue, Please PLEASE help. I am going nuts. And of course this all happened 3 months after the warranty expired, so both Rogers and Samsung will not help without $$$$$.
have you tried to back up your data, take out any micro sd card and perform a factory reset under /settings/privacy/reset ?
or open it up and look inside for any problems like corrosion?

I have done a factory reset numerous times from both the /settings/privacy/reset, and from booting it up holding the volume keys and doing a reset that way.
And I have had my phone since day one in a Ballistic Hard Core Series case, I take it out once a week to ensure its clean and free of dust/moisture (I work in construction so I try to keep it a clean as possible.) and my phone still looks like its brand new.
Thanks for the response though,
Update:
So just as an update for anyone out there who may be able to assist me with this very annoying issue, the Phone is still doing the same things, and since the last post i've also replaced the battery to see if for some strange reason it might help.
But to no avail.
As well I dont think i mentioned that this phone is rooted. I want to try unrooting it to see if that will correct the issue, but with not being able to connect the phone via usb to the computer, I have NO IDEA on how I can accomplish this. Any help???
Hello everyone, this might not be a huge problem but it is bothering the heck out of me. So after some extensive research and troubles that I bumped into, I was able to flash CM11 on my AT&T 4.4.2 at that time. Everything was working fine including the plug&pop feature. However, instead of 4 different options that we get in stock LG, there are only 2 with CM11 when you connect the phone to a comp using the usb cord. By accident, I unchecked both of them because I thought it would be safe to unplug the phone. After that, the phone didn't show that pop up whenever it is connected to the comp any more although the phone still showed up in the Devices & Printer list. Therefore, I couldn't do anything like moving music, or rooting, or copying files to the phone. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to solve this? I tried looking at all the settings but couldn't figure out how to enable that option again. Thanks and have a great day everyone.:crying::good:
:good:Hi guys, I just did a reset and everything is back to normal now. Also I'm running CM11 20140509 and everything is working okay except for some battery drain issue (not so serious but definitely noticeable). Keep up the good work guys. :good:
Hi!
So my phone don't occasionally want to connect to the internet. Happens 3-4 times a week maybe. I had this problem earlier on my samsung S8, did not fix this. The solution is to restart the phone and everything is ok. But this is irritating and should be fixed or the solution is here somewhere.
Have any of you guys had this problem before?
I can reset the phone, but dont want to unless it is necessary.
Thanks u all!
