Hello,
My Galaxy S6 seems to have trouble with being a storage device, thus not allowing me to sync my files to my phone. I connect it to my phone as a media device, but I keep getting the "this device is currently busy and its contents may not be fully displayed error". I have tried restarting the phone, and plugging the usb cable to a different port. Both have not worked.

Hello.
Short story: my phone was a little wet and i have some issues with it, mostly i want to get a mass storage to get working. (cant root)
Basically at first the phone didn't even want to charge, when i connected it to the PC windows was giving me an error that the device cannot be recognized, and couldn't install the drivers. (i had Kies installed)
I dried it completely, now the phone turns on without any problem, when i connect it to the pc the phone is recognizing connection (i hear sound + the button backlights are firing up for a sec)
Homever, windows is not detecting any USB device at all, and in about phone/info it says the phone is connected to the AC instead of USB.
When i connect it with USB there is no dropdown in notification to choose from charging, storage etc.
There is also manual usb storage mounting under settings/communication/usb settings , when i'm trying to mount here it just says to connect the phone with usb cable (not detecting connection, homever the backlight + sound is here after connecting, and it's charging)
I tried connecting it with usb debugging on/off even tried to fiddle with in service menu (*#7284#) but nothing.
And since i cannot get the usb storage working basically i cannot flash anything or root it.
Also the USB cable is not a Samsung but an HTC one, could this be a problem? (people in different thread said those cables are the same so it shouldnt be a problem, same amperage, same stick etc.)
Even tried to install MountUSB Widget from market, but it doesn't work when im trying to start the app it's force closing, when i make widget on desktop and press it the phone just vibrate for 1 sec and nothing happens.
When i connect phone with Kies AIR and it works, i mean it shows the storage information, also recognize the phone model correctly, how much free space i have on internal and on SD card but i cannot click "show in explorer" it's greyed out.
Any experts out there could help me? :crying:
Just a blind guess, try a USB cable which supports your device. If it doesn't help, I'm afraid it's a hardware problem and you will have to consult some hardware expert.
Just updated my phone (Nexus S) to cm-10.1-20121223-NIGHTLY-crespo. While it works fine as of now, one problem I am facing is when I connect it to the PC with the cable, though it goes into storage mode on the screen, however it does not show up in the PC. This prevents me from copying files from my computer to my phone.
It shows up in the device manager as a recognized Samsung device, but does not show in My Computer.......Any idea why this could be happenning ?
Thanks
I hope you have installed drivers and phone by USB direct to pc port not thru USB hub.
Happened to me once using USB hub cannot transfer files, so I connect direct and it works.
Hi,
I would like to see if I can get anyones assistance with solving my problem. I have lost the ability to connect my Nexus 5 to my computer via USB. I had previously been able to connect the phone without any problems.
Connecting my phone to PC charges the phone but no drivers are loaded, nothing changes in device manager and I cannot see a change in windows explorer to view the memory card.
So far I have tried the following:
searches on various sites
rebooting phone, starting in safe mode, wiping all data, performing a hard reset
connecting other phones to usb cable to check that it is not a charge only cable, also trying several other USB cables
connecting phone to other computers
connecting other phones (HTC) to load drivers (then uninstalling drivers)
displaying all hidden devices in device manager and removing all drivers that resemble something to do with mobile phones
uninstalling programs I no longer require on the PC
using "wugs nexus root toolkit" to uninstall and re-install drivers
checking & unchecking MTP, PTP, developer options, USB debugging in various combinations to elicit a response from the computer.
I have also tried to visually check the connections of the USB port on the phone wondering is there is a break but I cannot see very well.
does anyone have any further suggestions to get this phone connected to a PC?
my only last thought is to attempt to open the phone and check the resistance of the plug connections.
Have you tried enabling and disabling usb debugging while plugged in?

Are you sure you're using a data usb cable and the usb port is good?
Same Issue
same thing happened to me today when i connected the device to PC.
Mine says unknown device on PC under other devices. so i hope my USB port is ok.but im not using the original SUB cable. i wonder that's is the issue. but it didn't bother me until today. my original cable is at my friend's house.
Tried updating drivers manually. But following error message occurs once i select the drivers folder and hit ok.
Windows was unable to install your unknown device
Please help.
so, not really a solution but while at work my phone fell on to a nice rock cracking the screen. I have replaced the phone and the new phone connects to the pc fine, drivers come up without a problem (I will put this down to a fault with the phone)
Thank you for your assistance
Hi,
Thank you for the forum (first post).
Trying to get the S6 recognised by pc:
When the phone is connected to the laptops usb port via micro usb and cable (usb debugging on, samsung usb drivers downloaded, mtp:usb on) the computer makes the 'plugged in' audio sound but there is no 'permission to transfer files via usb' type message.
It does charge.
Does this maybe mean the charging port is broken/damaged, or the usb is broken?
Only other detail is that I once got the computer to say in a pop up that it was labelled as a 'samsung s6' rather than unknown device, which it normally does. This any symptom maybe its just a software issue?
Trying to get my computer to connect to the phone and have tried most if not all software solutions so far (including factory reset) and now looking if its hardware. Any tips to get it connected welcome.
Thank you,
David

Hello All,
I'm facing a weird issue on my S10e. After connecting the USB cable to the Windows PC for data transfer, the device will stop responding to data transfer after a minute, unless I restart it again. Get the error 0x80070141 which refers to the device not responding.
I have tried installing updated drivers, run the 'Hardware and Devices' troubleshooter, changed the USB cable and port, restarted the PC. however it does the same, works for a minute and then I cannot transfer anything to and from the PC. it also then stops showing up on Device Manager. Please help me out.
