[Q] inquiry on usb port of alcatel tab t10

good day to everyone. firstly, i would like to thank you for having the time to read my post.
well basically heres my inquiry, my unit is the alcatel tab t10. i never had any problems with it until recently, my device's usb port suddenly stops working.
tried unchecking the usb debug mode, tried checking it but to no avail, the usb still does not work. it doesnt seem to connect to my laptop. tried changing the cable.
i also tried connecting my device to my brothers laptop.
correct me if im wrong, but when the usb fails to connect to any laptop, their should be a notification in the laptop that the device is not recognized. but in my condition, no notification shows up. its like my device does not really connect at all.
oh and if it helps, i bought an otg cable before it started malfunctioning. but the only thing i had conneceted to my device is a wired mouse and a wired generic gamepad, which both seems to be working perfectly fine.
also, if i connect my device to a wired mouse, it would work perfecly fine. i could also connect to a usb flash drive, that is via the otg cable.
so whats weird is that the usb cable does not work, but the otg cable works fine.
if you have any question or any suggestion , i would truly appreciate it.

Hmm.....well the good thing is the port itself isn't "dead" as you can still utilize it for OTG. My only suggestion is make a backup of all your apps and data and try a factory reset.

thank you for the suggestion guitarman2010. unfortunately my usb port isnt still working. i also reflashed my device's current firware. but still wasnt the solution i was looking for. i was just wondering if there is a directory under the root folder that holds the devices usb driver? would it be possible that the device's driver itself got deleted? i wam still at awe that the otg cable still works like a charm.
and another thing, is the male usb pin the same with the flash drive's pin? cause if i connect the usb cable to the otg cable it wont work, but the flash drive works normally.
sorry for the amount of question im posting
thank you very much for the suggestion. especially when u told me that the port itself wsnt dead. i can now breathe easier..
and future suggestion and advice would be appreciated.

do you guys know how to access the phoneutil in tablet? maybe i should change the usb option to pda? but i heard that its only applicable to samsung 4.0.3 devices? suggestions are appreciated.

[Q] S4 Mini GT-I9195 not being detected :(

Hi there. I've bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini GT-I9195 few days ago and I want to be able to transfer files through my Samsung Micro USB cable. In order to do this, I need to install Kies and Samsung Drivers, which I did. I've connected my S4 Mini to the computer via the Micro USB cable. All I can see is the word "Connecting." I can only see my phone's name. I've waited several minutes but still no result.
I've researched online on how to fix this. Some say to install drivers so I've re-installed drivers, still no result. Others say to install the older version so I did. Still, I get this 'Connecting', message. Some people told me to turn off USB Debugging so I did but this made the phone undetectable. So I've turned it back on again. I've even downloaded some USB Mass Storage 3rd Party apps but it still doesn't work. When I plug in the micro usb cable to the computer via the phone, I can feel the phone vibrate but no detection. I've tried multiple computers but still it doesn't work. I've even rooted and downloaded 3rd Party mass storage apps (which requires root) but still it doesn't work. I have a Mirco SD Card. Could you please give me a solution? Thanks.
P.S. I don't want to transfer files over the WiFi as my router WiFi keeps on disconnecting loads of time. This is annoying and sooo slow especially when I'm trying to transfer large files. Please guys gimme a solution. I don't wanna return this phone as it's a much better upgrade from the iPhone 4S. Thanks.

i got this solution for you first plug you usb cable direct into motherboard port and then goto settings on phone tap more under data usage select tethering/hotspot and turn on usb tethering and therye you go computer should id now

solution found!!
forget about all kinds of "specialists", forget about those who are trying to sell you useless program to detect and fix usb port!. I had the same problem - my PC , my netbook didn't recognize my Galaxy s4 mini, I think after firmware update. Just remove the battery from your phone ,install it back and everything works!

[Q] USB Stick, External Hard Drive Not being detected by TCL Android (4.2) Smart TV

I've been searching for an answer for this issue, so far no luck
TCL 40 inch Android Smart TV(not Rooted)
2 - USB 2.0 ports
1-USB 3.0 ports
1 2.0 usb camera
I have a 500gb WD(NTFS Format) and a usb stick both are being detected and working as it should when I first got the TV.
Suddenly it is not being detected anymore
Although both lights(External and USB) are blinking and if you touch the hard drive you can feel its running
but when I check the media devices connected its just detecting the SD card.
I tried switching usb ports(including the 3.0) but still not being detected
I use the usb camera to all the usb ports and its being detected
Tried another type of otg cable not detected.
I tried just using the usb stick, still not detected
Tried Factory reset on the Android TV but no helo.
and both(WD and usb stick) are being detected in my laptop, using thesame otg cable.
ES FILE Manager sees the devices but when I open it nothing will show up.
Tried stickmount no go as well
I installed USB host controller
and connect all the usb devices and it sees it
when I go to info(usb host controller)
Im getting S3C USB Host driver NOT Found
Root hub present, USB host mode is Active.
Not sure what that is but I tried searching it no where to download it.
I was configuring Kodi TV on the smart tv before the issue happened
so I decided to uninstall it and did factory reset.
Appreciate the inputs.

HELP: Data recovery with broken screen

I am trying to get some help for my sister who needs to get her data from here Galaxy S6 but her screen is cracked with no visible display. In order to access the data she needs to put the phone into USB debugging or click her phone to allow her laptop access. With a broken screen she is unable to do either of those, and she has also tried using Kies, a newer Samsung app and that thing where it remotely detects your device but none of it has worked.
She has an otg cable with TV-Out but it isn't her S6. Would using another otg cable as a bridge between her phone and her TV-Out otg cable work? I would prefer a more simple solution than this as I am not in the same country as her so I'm not there to see what is going on for myself.
Thank you,

Unfortunately you can't do tv out on the s6 via otg, it doesn't have that function. The only other option is maybe connecting a mouse or keyboard via otg to try and allow access.

She does have a mouse she can put in but if she can't see the screen she can't click the prompt to allow access. There isn't a way of circumventing that prompt to get access to the files?
