Connect to PC as USB Storage - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5

For some reason my Note 5 doesnt seem to want to connect to my Windows 10 PC as USB storage. Did they nix this too or is it still possible?

Should still be possible. What does it say in the top status bar when you have it plugged in? Does it show connected as installer?

On the phone it says that its charging and on the PC it says that its an unknown usb device with the drivers failing to install.

Try turning USB debugging on in the developer options. Restart phone then plug up

this is what it shows before anything tries to install properly.
Then this is when the computer found the drivers when the phone showed mtp

Looks like it was the micro usb cable I was using. It wasnt the one that came with the phone and was a bit older. Guess that did the trick, thanks!

You should clean the dishes when you're finished eating off them. It's easier that way, rather than letting the food become hard and crusty, which is more of a pain to remove later on.

XDA II Cradle Problem.

Hello,
I just received my cradle today and found it was not usb but something else that looks like a vga connector but only has 2 rows of pin holes, does anyone know what this is called?
I put my XDA II into boot loader mode and connected the phone and wire and the power and downloaded and installed active sync 4.5 but i cant connect and the screen does not change to usb or anything just says serial at top and v1.03 at the bottom, is there some drivers or software i need to get?
And BTW active sync works fine while device is on.
Thanks
In case it helps here is the item i purchased:

this connects to COM port of your computer most new PCs have only 1 COM port .. In the past COM ports was common like usb today you don't need any driver to get it work... if it's work fine with active sync - where is the problem ?
It is called a Serial connector. Hence the reason your phone is saying Serial (though it will say serial regardless unless it is plugged into USB). In terms of upgrading, make sure ActiveSync is OFF! You don't want your device to connect to ActiveSync before or during the upgrade. I would go into ActiveSync connection settings and turn off auto-connect, at least until the update is complete.
And as stated above, if it is connecting to ActiveSync via the Serial anyway, than all is well!

Can't connect via usb to pc.

I'm just flashed to 1.7. Was on 1.6 and had this problem. I can't connect to any pc's over usb. I just bought a new cord because the original was sucked into a vacuum.
Anyways when I plug in the TF to a pc I get a bubble pop up that says "the connected usb device as malfunctioned"
Or on my wifes pc it tried to install the driver but it always fail. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the asus pc suite but it hasn't helped anything.
I'm getting worried its a hardware issue any help would be awesome!
Heres a shot of the error I'm getting.

Any ideas out there?
Yeah i'm now getting the same problem. I'm using prime 1.9.1 and also i have re installed the suite/drivers. I would really like it if someone could give this question an answer. Also i have Windows x64
did you enable usb debugging on the tf?
Yah it sucks I never got mine working. Now the battery is draining over night if I leave it unplugged, thats with wifi off. But I can't even consider rma over the usb because it is rooted.
I'm also facing the same problem. Detection on my pc is like a hit & miss affair. Wonder if this got to do with a faulty usb/data cable?

I replaced mine with an asus cable. Not some knock off, and it didn't help anything.
I returned one not long after purchasing because of a similar issue. Tried on many PC's and different cables, made no difference. I think it is a hardware fault, reasonably common too. Can you not flash back to stock to RMA?

The problem is you need to plug it into a pc to reflash it. I had a thread going on this before, I think someone recomended a method for that had came out where you could flash without a pc. I'm a little nervous honestly to mess with it because it something goes wrong without the usb port working its done.

When you connect the phone to a windows computer, do any new devices appears in device manager? Was the phone ever dropped? You opened it to check for loose connections? No flashing led light whe. The phone is connected to a charger? Tried different USB cables and USB ports?

No... anything!
I think you'll need to open the phone to do some troubleshooting like looking for loose connections.

Look at this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5YtpDufgW4&feature=youtu.be
I see that the phone is doing nothing; therefore, you'll need to open up the back. It could be a power button problem, a loose connection, or a defective or dead battery.
You have any spare parts to test the phone?

hey there you need to uninstall the program from your computer go to windows settings and uninstall it or turn off usb debugging on your phone
the fix is because on some windows 10 builds it says it is not connected to an internet conection when tether is conected
This helped hold by connection. I was having random disconnects.
When i connect my computer it works but i was wondering if i can make my Windows 10 laptop to share connection somehow for more devices, it is not showing in my hotspot on my laptop.
Yes

OTG Unmount Notification

After updating to Nougat, after connecting an otg pen drive, there was a convenient option in the notification window where u could unmount the drive.
I think I swiped that notification & now I don't get any notification after connecting my otg pen drive. My device is connected & works like normal, but I don't get any notification. It's not convenient as I need to go to Storage in Settings to unmount my device now. I no longer have this:

Any solution?

After a lot of testing and deleting app data, the solution (that worked for me) is very simple. I simply inserted a different [brand of?] USB flash drive. The notification showed for the new flash drive, and when I connected the previous flash drive, the notification shows again. Hope it helps.
