USB not mounting and computer does not detect

Ok I have drivers installed and USB debugging is off all the normal stuff and the phone beeps but storage does not show so I can mount the computer does not detect??

Go into settings wireless and networks USB utilities and toggle the setting in there.

Try to plug your phone in another USB

Sounds like PC to me, happens reboot PC and phone if it does not help I would suggest plugging it into another computer. If it works then try your computer again. This happened to me before with an external hard drive. Hope you get it worked out.

This also happened to me, it was working properly before but it just stopped. It seems that the phone always detects that there is a USB connected even if there was none, evidence is it is always in the charging state when I check the battery status. I think this is a hardware problem. I'm still looking for a solution for this.

USB issues like this will never make sense to me. It's working fine and then not, back and forth. I too am looking for a resolution.

I've never UNCHECKED USB Debugging.... during Odin connections or transferring files between phone and computer. As soon as I plug USB into phone, the USB symbol appears in notification bar and then I press notification to transfer files between computer and phone. My SR internal and external storage are recognized as drive letters on the PC. Try leaving USB Debugging checked and see if that works for you.

I had this problem using my front USB port on my computer.
When I switched to the rear USB port, it worked fine.
Well... it kills my DVI KVM every time. But the PHONE works.

i highly believe this is a hardware problem because mine started when the phone overheat and turned itself off. I already tried resetting to factory setting but still the problem persisted.

good point there have been instances where I have had to switch ports to get it to work.

I remember also having the same problem with a USB cable I used with my captivate. This cable worked well with the captivate but when I plugged my Sky, I had the same problem as you. It took me a while to figure it out and change the cable.
Hope it help

Thank you.

Hey guys. I recently came across the same problem as the OP.
My phone will not detect that it is connected to a computer, and the computer will say that the device is not detected/has malfunctioned.
I have tried a factory reset, I have tried USB debugging, checking and unchecking, I have tried going into USB Storage and hitting the connect to PC button.
The phone does not connect using any of the 6 USB ports. It does not connect to my home or work computer. I have used two different cables, the stock and a third party one. (I have always used stock, never any third party until now to resolve this issue.)
This problem also came out of the blue, no changes were made. The phone is stock no rooting or flashing. Although that was the plan, but now it seems pointless.
Judging from the responses on many websites, I would have to say it's a software issue that can't be resolved. Or maybe a hardware issue. Either way I'm sending it into Rogers (Canadian carrier it originated from) tomorrow if I can't fix it by tonight.
I would love help from the outside public, but please respond with suggestions that are more intricate than to hit the connect to PC button, as I have exhausted all of those options already.
If this is a random occurrence, (and it seems like a common problem from all the results I get when searching for answers) then this phone model really needs to have a fix or something down the road soon, because this is ridiculous.
EDIT: Also tried reboot of the PC. It's Windows 7 64-bit so shouldn't need drivers either, and it was working fine last week.

If u did all that, u did ur due diligence in troubleshooting the problem. I almost guarantee ur mini-usb is dead, or maybe damaged so that it still allows charge but won't connect to computer. Send it in to Rogers, they should give u a temp phone in the mean time becuz its under warrantt

Yeah I figured something hardware related decided to crap out on me.
Is there a specific cause for this to happen? I plan on rooting and flashing different roms when I get the phone back, and don't want to have this happen again out of warranty, or else I'm screwed.
I try to take good care of my phone, so it's weird that this happened. If it is a common problem, then I guess I'd have to be careful to not do anything on my phone that's not reversible.

Replacing the usb port on some devices arent solving the issue.
For example, i have a usb bricked GT-N7000 and technician said that usb port is working on another device but there is something blocking usb mounting in the emmc. I dont have a bricked emmc, but the thing is i have been searching all over to find a fix for this thing more than a year now.

[Q] Help! my phone is dead

Hello everyone,
Last night when i went to bed my phone was working perfectly fine, it still had around 75% battery life. This morning i found it completely dead.
I can't turn it on at all, i have had it on the charger for over 2 hours so the battery can't be empty. While its on the charger the notification LED is lit up. I have tried the two minute press but no luck. No matter what i do its not turning on at all, also its not vibrating at all. I hope you guys can help me out, since i'm clueless at this point.
Cheers,
Joey

If you have a windows machine, connect the phone to the computer and see if it is recognized as anything in device manager. If you see something like "qhsusb", the phone may be bricked and you'll have to try and unbrick it.

The phone does not show up inside the device manager at all, nor does windows make a sound if i plug in the usb cable.

Broken USB?

Hey guys, so i recently flashed WanamLite with the Xposed Framework and everything was working fine until yesterday.
My Usb kind of stopped working.
The phone only charges very (very!) slowly, it takes about 6 hours for a full charge.
Also no pc can detect the phone anymore, even the download mode that was working fine before isnt recognized by any of my pcs.
I tried my charger, my car charger abd my sisters S6 charger, nothing seems to help. I searched the forums but couldnt find a solution yet.
I wiped all data and tried different kernels and roms, still doesnt work.
Has anyone an idea?
My knox is tripped, so i really dont want to send it in if i dont have to.
I cleaned the usb port and the cable, nothing seems to help.
How can i go back to stock without odin if i have to send it back.
Thanks in advance

Fast charge not working in s6 after marshmallow (6.0.1) update

I updated my (factory unlocked) S6 to Marshmallow 6.0.1 and for two days it worked just fine. Then suddenly the fast charge stopped working. when i open notifications it says: cable charge, 5 hours until full charge. I tried everything, i have 2 original adaptive fc samsung chargers and none of them works. plus an aukey fast charging external battery, but when i connect my phone it keep saying cable charge. i pushed the usb into the charger, i turned on the fast charging option in settings, tried different cables. then i tried to connect it to my pc, but it doesnt recognizes my phone, and neither does the Mini MicroSD Card Reader that worked just fine before the update. I did a hard reset, but it wont work. im thinking maybe something (hardware) broke in the second day after the update, idk. i remember conecting the phone at night before going to sleep to an iphone cube with the battery at 90%, but that wont explain why my pc doesnt recognise it. I NEED HELP, PLZ

Just a thought: did you enable fast charging option from the battery menu ?

Please read again
it clearly says i turned on the fast charge option in settings

"5 hours until full charge"
something else is wrong here

Why? How do you know? What do you think its the problem?
the weird thing is that when I connect the s6 to the wall charger it pops up the "connected as a media device" that should appear when connecting to a computer. AND when I connect it to the computer it doesnt appear, so I cant move files, etc.

I have the same issue! I know for a fact that it started right after I charged my phone a little on my friend's car charger. I have charged my phones on his charger in the past and have never had issues. It's almost like the phone got scared and locked itself down (stopped transmitting and recieving USB data, therefore not recognizing fast charger or mtp). I have been searching this issue for a while, but have not been able to find a solution. There are lots of people out there that have this problem! I have called Samsung, but they barely even wanted to talk to be because it is the unlocked variant (sm-g920i). Honestly at this point I would be willing to pay them maybe $50 to fix it. It's ridiculous! And I suspect that it is just their dumbass firmware that screwed me over!

I also suspect that is the firmware, but i have searched everywhere and the only ones that could fix it did it by changing the usb port (therefore it was a hardware problem). The ****ty thing is that this phone is too difficult to open, and too dangerous, i dont dare to do it myself, but i neither trust anyone who isnt samsung... so.. i think im just going to sell it and buy anotherone, or idk.. if you can solve the problem please let me know. I'll really appreciate it. (Sorry for bad english)

you might want to try clear both daavik cache and cache.
. I had a similiar problem, that seemed to clear it up.

to clear the dalvik cache i have to root it, and i dont want to in case i have to take it to samsung because maybe if i root it i will loose the warranty. and i already cleared all the other caches like 5 times, i dont know what to do anymore. thank you for the reply, if you know of anything else I can try...

I can confirm that it is not hardware related. I have replaced the board containing the USB port, but am still having the same issue!

And have you found a firmware/software solution to the problem? what's exactly your issue? the same as mine? no fast charge and not connecting to pc?

I also have the same problem, since wiped the device with paper and sometimes back fast loading, however the transfer via USB does not work. I believe it is software problem.

Yesterday I noticed that my data cable connects via download mode by odin, or as may be hardware if odin recognize?

guys,i got a galaxy s6 edge and i had a fast charging issue and i've checked all common solution like changing cables,chargers,even changed the socket but same issue exits my mobile charging in 6 hours and when i go to fast charge option in menu it turned on and at the moment of connecting the cable to automaticly turn off with no choise to turn it on again,any one please knows how so solve??
