What exactly did you try?
Set the usb connection as mtp?
enable usb debugging?
Tried another cable?
If you're just wanting to transfer files, you can use a wifi transfer app where you access the phone through a web browser once the wifi app is started on the phone.

If you got your phone locked with a swipe, pin or password, you need to unlock it first

yes i have im not sure as to why my phone is doing that
I have the same problem. Tried everything in Win 7 32bit both drivers... the one in samsung page and the first one before those... CANT get the captivate recognized by my PC. I tried with at win xp and it works... ANY HELP?
It might be the USB cable. Is it connected directly or through a hub? You might also try plugging it into different port.

i have windows 7 64 bit and here is what i did
1. go to Settings>Application>Development and turn usb debugging on.
2. After you connect it to the comp pull down our notifications menu and select USB connected. It will ask you if you want mount select yes and then go to my computer and it should be there.
If you have kies installed you shouldn't have any driver issue since installing that software properly is best way to insure you have the proper drivers installed. Try uninstalling Kies and installing it again with just the mobile box ticked it should work. I am also running Win7 32bit and use Kies without a problem.

Did you ever get this working? I have tried with USB debugging off and on, tried all the options under the default connection type. What else can I do to get this to connect to my Mac? I don't see anything that is labeled "MASS USB STORAGE".

[Q] Nexus 5 Not fully detecting

Hi guys. I just rooted my nexus 5 and i used USBDview to uninstall all previous drivers as was stated in Wugs Toolit. Now whenever i connect my phone to the usb port.. it just says "this device can perform faster...." and thats it. I can't see the nexus device in My Computer or devices. i want to transfer files but i can't. please help!
I guess you rebooted PC. Then tried again. Can your device still interact with the toolkit? You removed drivers BEFORE rooting? Have you tried deselecting USB debugging (shouldn't be necessary) to see if you get access? I'm sure others who have had similar problems will help. In the meantime, you can transfer files using the network component on a file manager. I use Estrong but have used File Expert and Ghost Commander as well as Astro File.

Yupp i tried rebooting removed drivers, reinstalled etc. Even my Nexus 4 isn't detecting now lol! the MTP doesn't detect but PTP the camera interface works. Which is weird. I tried putting usb debugging on and off. Nothing helps.
I tried using another PC, and it works. Something messed up with my laptop i guess? Any solution.. other flash drives get detected but not the nexus.

Device Manager Says Samsung Galaxy Android Hone and under it Android ADB Device or something like that..
It doesn't say Nexus 5!
Exact same issue with my Nexus 5 and my VAIO Pro 13. Can't figure out what to do to make it works. Even tried reinstalling windows from scratch. No luck.

Try a different cable?

Or a different usb port if you have a 3.0 usb...try a 2.0 usb instead. Also you might consider updating to latest HTC software/drivers if you didn't do that already. Check if it's working on another pc with the same cable...if it does, it's not the cable, it's the pc or HTC software or drivers
Just forgot...you said you're on stock ROM. That has an option specifying how phone connects to the pc via USB...it's in HTC Sync mode right?

Nash...it automatically connects to Usb Debugging and MPT...and it doesn't have any other optionthn mobile network sharing

Are you still able to view the SD card VIA file explorer ?
If you can view your card from the phone then you may have a bad cable or a bent pin
Is your phone still taking a charge ? if not you may have a bad port on the phone
I would try a different cable and or switch USB ports
I had the same issue and it was due to a bent pin on my cable as mentioned above.
I was transferring files with WiFi File Explorer until I bought a new cable.
I can copy from my Mobi to Pc easily...the only thing i can't do is to copy from Pc to Mobi.....

Phone not showing up in computer.

Ive connected my S6 to the computer but it doesnt show up in My Computer. It shows that the MTP USB Device driver has failed to install. Any solutions? Ive tried everything available on the internet. Even kies and smartswitch and samsung drivers installed. Nothing seems to work at this point.
Does it work on another PC, or with a different cable?

I tried it on my laptop but it doesnt work on it either. Tried 3 different cables. Weird part is I transferred Music to my phone via the computer just yesterday and all of a sudden today it does this.

Was usb debugging turned on the last time you were using mtp? Is it turned on now?

Try to turn on usb debugging from developer options. See what happens. If it fails then probably your usb connnection somehow got stuck in charge only mode. In that case you will need to force mtp through commandline. Just see what happens after you try to turn on debugging first.
Additional note: this is pretty basic stuff but still worth mentioning. What happens when you try to select usb options type from inside storage settings? Does the settings option open up? Is mtp selected over there?

You can force mtp through command line only if you have root access. Are you rooted?
Since mtp is already selected in the connection type list, the problem is probably due to a bad driver structure. Disconnect your device from PC. Remove all the drivers and kies software from your pc. Reboot and connect phone. Try to see if the windows driver works out not. I am guessing you are on windows 7, right?

Ive tried that as well. Windows drivers also couldnt install MTP. Im not rooted. How did this even happen? I mean It was fine yesterday.
You can try these two solutions in their order and report back.
1) On your phone, go to Security -> Device administration->Device adminstrators. Check if there are any app with admin privileges, you have to deactivate them and see if MTP access works.
2) Connect your phone, swipe ur top menu down & tap USB PC connection settings, switch from MTP to PTP. Let driver's install. Now, go to the safely remove & eject media & eject your phone, when it says its safe to remove. Just switch your PTP back to MTP, see if the drivers install successfully then.
