Have you tried a different game pad to rule that out, might not play nicely with the s6

Are you rooted or completely stock. You have 2 or 3 options I think. To rule out anything hardware related, if you have root do wipe in twrp/cwm dalvik and cache, if that doesn't work reinstall rom, I that still doesn't work then flash a clean firmware through odin. Before doing any of that try a different otg cable.

So.. i do FULL wipe, reflashed my rom, and... nothing. Tried 2 different OTG cables.

The only other thing is to do a firmware flash through odin, if it still doesn't work then it points to some sort of hardware issue.

Ok so flashing firmware didn't work. I'll buy a new OTG cable and check it again, if won't work i need to replace a part of my s6 where is micro usb port.. :/

[Q] USB not recognized

Hi all,
My Droid charge decided to do something weird today; it no longer will USB mount! This problem is particularly bad because, while I can put the phone in download mode, my computer will not recognize the USB and ODIN (1.2 & 1.8) cannot wipe the phone.
Any suggestions? I really need my phone back, but I'm not sure what to do.
Tried reinstalling the USB Samsung Drivers, using the original data cable, and two different computers (Win7). SD card will mount in an external drive (aka without the phone), and the phone will charge via USB. I have the most recent form of CWM on it, and the EP4P debloated and rooted rom.
Thanks,
frak

That happened to me a while back. Mine had the added bonus of going into desk dock mode and staying there. It was a hardware issue with the USB port. It would charge, but nothing else. Mine did become intermittent though, and cycling the cable in and out seemed to help it some, but ultimately, I had to send it in for replacement

What cable are you using? I accidentally grabbed my charging-only cable the other day and didn't realized it only had the wires for positive and negative. No data pins.
Is it the cable that came with your Droid?
Another thread similar. Check it out and try some.

Had that yesterday. A different port worked fine for me. Maybe a couple of power cycles will do the trick.

[Q] Can't get OTG to work on NEXUS 4

[Q] Can't get OTG to wok on NEXUS 4
I've flashed stock Kitkat and Installed Ziddey's custom kernel, got an OTG cable and made a Y USB cable, doesn't work =/ the only thing that happens is the phone charges.
The OTG cable is working just fine with the dok i tried to connect, I checked both on another device, the only thing I did to the stock android is installing the kernel.
I've also downloaded an app to check if OTG is enabled on my device and the result is positive.
Seems like the only thing I could have messed up is the Y cable, but it pretty simple- connect the wires to their matching color and isolate.
Please help me figure this one out, and if someone can post this on Ziddey's Thread I'd be grateful :silly:

OTG pendrive and connecting to pc not working

I'm currently at B540 and my otg pendrive is not working with my phone and my phone only shows charging when connected to my computer. I updated to B540 recently in hope that the problem would be fixed, but I have been facing this problem since i upgraded to lollipop. Please help.
Hardware issue
There can be multiple possibilities.....
1. Your sync cable is bad or damaged .
2. There is some problem with your pc.
3. You've got a bad usb jack on your phone.
Solutions
1. Try with a different cable, make sure you don't use generic ones... I used some earlier and they caused a problem every now and then.
2. Try on a different laptop or pc
3. Update latest huawei drivers, and also update adb drivers just in case.
4. You can also try to hard reset the phone.
And if nothing works, get your USB jack checked.
There are 4 connections on the jack
2 are for charging and 2 are for Data sync purposes
Maybe you've a broken connection or something.

My phone is not working with other computers and other phones are working with my computer. Same is the case with my pendrive.
I think there is a problem with a driver or something in my phone.
If this is the case, Try to reflash the firmware.....

should i try flashing marshmallow ?
Sure you can try it.
But i do not think this is a software issue anymore....
Your USB jack on the phone needs a checkup
Facing the same problem on Honor 6
H60-L04
B520
5.1.1
EMUI 3.1
I too am facing the same problem. After doing a factory reset, it seemed working fine for a few days and now i still continue to have the same problem.
Looking for some geeks to provide a solution to this issue. Definately it is not a USB port issue.
Uh! I was on B510, and just flashed B520 to upgrade to marshmallow..... If this is a software issue. Just upgrade it to marshmallow

Weirdest Problem i had on a Phone ever.

Hello,
I'm having a problem with my Unlocked Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) When i plug the USB to transfer data from my PC, it only detects it as charging, and yes, i know i should change to MTP in the notification center, but i don't get that option, I've enabled it manually in the developers option, also enabled USB Debugging Nothing. Then I've rebooted to TWRP , still nothing. Tried connecting via ADB Doesn't detect it.(I'm sure that cable works , tried it with my Galaxy S5 mini , it works), So i went to Download Mode, Fastboot commands doesn't work , but weirdly it detects in Odin. Good, not great. I've decided to revert back to stock, flsahed the latest firmware. booted still nothing just says Cable Charging as if it is connected to a wall plug.
I don't know what do now .
Any help?

My S6 does a continues connected/disconnected loop on my laptop but on a desktop PC it runs great. Other phones also run great on the laptop so it's possible that you too have an isolated case.
A dumb suggestion, did you try clearing the cache? Try downloading Samsung Smart Switch on your PC and run the built in device driver reinstall function.

I personally think that it's a computer problem rather than a phone problem. If you flashed stock ROM only and didn't touch anything special it MUST work because we would have seen people complaining by now. I'm still holding onto the idea to check the phone with another PC. IDK, maybe you somehow blocked the phone on the laptop? (Download mode and "OS mode" are different things so that would clarify why the laptop detects the phone in ODIN mode)
