Can't get access to my Android tablet from my PC anymore - Android Apps and Games

When I connect my Samsung tablet to my PC via USB I never get the dialog box where I can choose if the PC can have access to the filesystem on the tablet?
I can't access the tablet from my PC anymore.. Works fine if I connect my phone?

Hi,
This issue happens quite often with us and it can be solved easily. I have tried two methods which you can also give a try:
1. Go to Settings > About Device and tap on Build Number seven (7) times. This will enable Developer Options.
Then go to Settings > Developer Options and you will find USB Debugging, check that box.
2. You can even try this on your system, click the start menu, settings, devices. On the left click connected devices, remove MTP. Unplug phone and plug it back in. You will find this issue fixed.
Thanks

Mass Storage On Mac

So my mac wont recognize my devices internal or external memory card. Anyone else have any problems?
edit: started working for some reason.
Edit 2: I figured it out I had to install double twist and by default it enables auto mass storage mode with USB debugging enabled. You can not achieve this otherwise.
I have the same problem, and even have double twist installed. Still no luck, but I'm still looking. There have been several occurrences where Samsung devices of multiple types not communicating with OSX.
As the OP stated, I think you have to enable USB debugging as well. Did you do that?

goto settings, application, development, then usb debugging!
On the Captivate, prepare your phone by Settings > Applications > USB Settings > Ask On Connection. Also, Settings > Applications >> Development > USB Debugging needs to be turned on.
Then connect the USB cable to the Mac, and drag the notification bar on the phone. It'll say USB connected - choose that and then it'll ask to Mount. Once you mount the SD card(s), they'll be visible on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard).
At least, that's what I did. No need for doubletwist.

Can't access USB mass storage on my PC

So I can't connect my Droid RAZR to my windows 7 machine...
I have tried a lot of things!
I've tried:
*Different computers including Vista and Linux
*Different cables
*Different fastboot files
*Re-installing drivers
*Factory reset
*PIM sync from the market etc.
What happens when I plug my phone into my PC is the computer recognizes it, it makes a sound, then it says Unknown Device connected or some times it says USB malfunctioned and then on my lockscreen it says the phone is charging but it doesn't show on my battery icon.
Whats also interesting is if I got into Fastboot mode and connect to my computer it says USB connected and then I can use it in RSD with no problems.
I'm on ICS with no root.
Please help!

With the phone plugged in, have you tried opening up the lockscreen so you can get to your phone? Please take a screenshot of the device manager settings.
Computer Management -> Device Manager -> Find the device (double click on it) -> Details -> Hardware Ids
Or you can write out what the hardware ID is. Thanks.
YOu said you also tried it in linux. please post the output from lsusb for any unknown devices

I am also having a similar issue with the pc not recognizing the phone. I never had an issue with this problem. I have only rooted my phone with no custom room. I have always connected my phone to the pc and was giving a connection screen on my phone asking me if i want to connect as a mass media storage. A week ago this behavior stopped. I don't know what to do anymore. I don't remember doing anything to the phone to mess up the setting? I connected it to several computers using different micro usb data cables and nothing occurs.
The only thing happens is my phone receives a charge from the computer and thats it. Any ideas? Is there anyway i can reset the system or what not?

me also facing same problem and already i turned on USB Debugging mode but nothing happened. still i can't connect USB mass storage of my android device
Hey guys what you should try to do is use this :
after pluggin in your devices and removing their current driver in device manager(control panel>admin tools>computer management>device manager>
and then install this
http://adbdriver.com/upload/AdbDriverInstaller.exe
also make sure you adb debugging is enabled (if it's not visible(setttings>about/info>build number tap it multiple times) usually its settings>dev options>usb debugging.
also maybe try using this software as pc suite myphonexplorer
Can you guys go to the storage menu in settings, press the menu key, select USB connection mode (or something like that) and play around with the settings in there? Try that out.

check usb debugging in developer options
to enable devoleper options go to about devices in setting and tap build date 10 times
make sure you have the latest samsung usb drivers

I've got newest driver on my computer, and last nightly on my tab. On debbuging mode, computer conects to Tab, so on hardware level everything should be ok. I'm just unable to connect it normally, tab just play signal of pluging-in cable, but isn't charging, and as I said don't show connection notification.

the notification shows in status bar on me. shows usb debugging, click to deactivate.
maybe clean flash will fix yours.
Okay the solution is very simple <facepalm>
In settings > Storage > USB connection
None of the options had been chosen. I had to select one of them, and now it works normally.
Thanks for help.

what is the solution to turn on usb to MTP.
give your phone a restart, first and foremost. you may need to go into your settings and tap the build number the subsequent number of times to enable developer mode, and make sure that USB debugging is selected. are you on Windows 8 or Windows 10? i know that there have been some issues with Windows 10 users connecting their external media/phones/disk drives and having them able to be read. but the following is what I was able to do to get my phone recognized on Windows 10.

Samsung S7 Edge ADB Commands

Hi,
Basically I have a Samsung S7 Edge (SM-G935F) which the screen is completely smashed on (no display no touch). When I connect it to the PC it detects the phone but it doesn't show the folders inside (can only assume its got a prompt to accept PC or USB debugging isn't enabled).
After a lot of testing with OTG cables keyboards/mouse etc the furthest I got was putting the phone into Recovery Mode (PWR, VOL UP & HOME) then selected APPLY UPDATE ADB.
When I run the ADB in Powershell and run "adb devices" it finds the device ID and says "sideload".
Is there any command I can run to pull the files off my internal DCIM folder (thats all I really need)?
I did read up the only way this could be possible is to install a custom rom (TWP with ODIN?) and then pull files off.
Is this possible and would installing a custom rom delete my internal files as that would render this pointless.
Sorry im new to a lot of this so all my knowledge is just what ive read recently.
Thanks
1. To pull user data USB-debugging must got enabled. May be this method works for you to enable it:
2. To flash TWRP it's required device's bootloader got unlocked - what requires OEM unlock must got enabled . Note: Unlocking bootloader erases all user data.

Thanks for the reply,
Ok so my only option is the "blind" method.
I have the app installed via Google Play Store on my PC to the device however when I hold down the home button to ask google I hear no reply from her, is there any hotkey to use for this device to ask google or any alternative methods to open this app?
I can see the S7 Edge is connected to my WIFI as it shows on the Sky Hub and IPScanner.
Also is there a way to tell what android interface version I have so I can follow someone on Youtube going into Settings or Apps etc to open the app.
I feel like I am so close to getting these photos off the phone but its just a blind guess at the moment.
I managed to get a hold of a friends S7 Edge, using this I mapped out some keyboard functions to turn on developers options then usb debuggings.
What I have noticed is now when I connect the phone via USB to the PC and run ADB DEVICES it shows up the ID then unauthorised as the status, so I can only assume this means I have USB DEBUGGING ENABLED.
Is this correct?
If so why when I open the Samsung Galaxy in Windows does it still not show the folders, is there another setting I need to turn on/off?

I want the internal storage contents of DCIM on the phone.
I followed the steps on my "donor" phone to go into Developer Options > USB Configuration > MTP but all that happens is the phone detects on Windows but wont show me the contents of it.
I also tried changing to PTP but same issue.
I know there is a pop-up that shows on the phone asking to ALLOW THE PC TO ACCESS FILES but I cannot have the USB DATA CABLE and OTG/KEYBOARD plugged in at the same time (and I also tried two OTG adapters both came up MOISTURE DETECTED when using).
So unless anyone knows of a OTG SPLITTER that 100% works with S7 EDGE then I need to find a way to either bypass the ALLOW MESSAGE or manually add my PC to its allow list.

fully charge your phone and hopefully the heat generated from charging process remove the moisture detected warning or you can also use hair blower to heat your charging port area
also don't put your device on microwave oven unless you want to see some fireworks
