USB on PC not working.. tried everything in threads..

So I can't get my desktop OR laptop running XP Pro 32 to even recognize the phone. As in no audio plays and nothing appears in the system tray. Tried with/without debugging mode, installed the samsung drivers etc. The phone doesn't even show up in device manager at all- not even as something unrecognizable. Its as if the port is dead. The phone does 'ding' though and charge ok so it is receiving power... though nothing at all appears in the android notification tab when connected. Any ideas or anyone know of any apps on the pc or android side to take a closer look at whats happening on the bus?

The only way that I can get it to work is to put it in media mode. It shows up as a media device in Win7. If I put it on, "ask every time" or whatever it doesn't work and in mass storage mode it shows up as two unreadable drives, they are grayed out in Explorer... Basically...don't use the "ask every time" for USB function.
This function seems like such a simple thing, not sure why Samsung has so many issues with it considering they have been making media devices for a long time.
Anyway... do you have access to a newer OS to at least rule that out as a cause. Not saying it shouldn't work with XP 32 but just something to check out.

I was having similar issues at first. I take it adb doesn't work either? Well my fix was to delete my whole Android SDK folder, then I redownloaded it (though I just kept the "tools" folder this time). Then I downloaded "USBDeview" (google it) to delete every USB driver that had to do with android (basically just left the printers, HID, and my Sansa drivers), restarted, then I downloaded the samsung drivers from the thread on here, plugged my phone in and manually pointed the driver search to the drivers.
ADB and Mass Storage has been working fine since. All I can tell you is to keep checking cause there's something you're missing, I also thought to myself "what the heck else can I do?" since I had done each one of those steps previously, but maybe I just had to do them all together. Good luck.

another possible solution is to change cables if you're not using the samsung provided cable - some cables are charger only (no data) - some of the motorola cables are charger only and we've already had one poster that had that issue

I couldn't get it to work at first either. I more or less did this.
I plugged in my phone. I did not enable mass storage mode on my phone. Walked away and let my PC think for a while. I came back and I noticed I had two new drives. I then enabled mass storage mode and could connect.
Two of my machines I had to do this. I'm not sure why it wasn't instant, but it just took a bit of patience and walking away from the machine to let it think for a while before I guess it installed the drivers and made its peace with the fact it wasn't the G1 any more.

Say into voice dialer "Open SD card" -> check "Enable USB mass storage". That works if port on PC is OK.

If it's a driver issue, open device manager and uninstall the usb ports. Unplug everything from usb and when you reboot the computer it will automatically reinstall the usb ports.

I ran into the same issue. It was a problem with the USB cable I was using. As soon as I tried a different cable it worked fine.

I second this, I forgot my sammy cable at work on Friday and on way home stopped at T-Mo and picked up a charger w/cable and realized right away this was just a charging cable as soon as I connected it to my PC. I'm returning the cable back to T-Mo tonight. At least I was able to charge my phone over the weekend.

UPDATE: You guys are right, it is the goddamn cables! I bought an extra wall charger + cable at the t-mobile store and was using that at home. I had left the original in-box cable at work. Tried the cable at work today and now the drives pop up. Still don't appear writeable but I can look into that when I have time, probably the typical driver issue. As far as I can tell those separate cables are power only! $15 for a two wires + dc adapter. Thanks Samsung. Grr.

i suspect the mfgrs have gone to charge only cables to help keep folks from tethering - just a suspicion
if the "drives" are popping up, have you "mounted" the phone (pull down notification bar, clik on USB connected and it should give you a window asking to mount the cards or drive)

FYI....The Rocketfish cables you get from Best Buy do not work. They are only capable of charging.
@larryccf...I don't think certain manufacturers are implementing this on purpose so we can't tether. I think their just being cheap.

Where I got my cables on the cheap! and my problem.
I got my cable at monoprice.com. Check it out that is a 10 foot usb cable for $1.69 and it works for me. They have different lengths and even some colors. Now my Mass Storage issue . . .
My Mass Storage via USB works fine unless I enable "USB Debugging" which one of my apps needs to work. Once debugging is enabled I loss the ability to see my sd card and internal storage on my XP netbook. any ideas????

Same Problem
I have the exact issue, tried many things have'nt found a fix yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,

Yes phone is mounted, and can be seen w/o usb debugging enabled. However with usb/debugging on it does not read the phone being connected. Meaning that I cannot connect to ADB which is my main concern.

This is my issue exactly, and I haven't found a fix either. Called T-Mobile and they thought turning off debugging was the only fix I needed.

Most of them, sorry to say are half retarded. They think a data reset is the cure-all

Ain't that the truth!

If you are running windows (x86 or x64), it would be wise to install the samsung drivers. I was having this exact problem, but as soon as I installed the drivers from samsung, viola!
I had the latest drivers from google, and they did not work for me.
Here is a link to the thread containing the links to the drivers, thanks to TGA_Gunnman:

I've had this problem twice. The way I fixed it was to wipe the sd card. Its a pain but that's what fixed it

If not a driver problem (doesn't sound like it is) the next *usual* suspect would be the usb cable. The samsung cable that shipped with these phones is crap. I got a 6' belkin one on amazon for $8 that has worked flawlessly.

Make sure you're not using a USB port that's on a hub or daughtercard. It should be one that's directly on the motherboard.

I kept fiddling with settings and rebooting both phone and computer and got past this once on my old win7 box. On my new one, I got nowhere after an hour or so. Worked first thing with the same cable on my win xp machine.
Plug your phone into a USB1 only hub, or on the same channel as a usb 1 keyboard or mouse and it will detect just fine... it won't really be useful because it won't be able to flash still (I believe it should detect as a composite device with several facets and only some of those are usb1-only compatible). I believe that the underlying problem is a bad implementation of the usb spec on one of the usb2 only parts, but I didn't feel like digging any deeper. I might try a win xp vm on the same physical hw to see if I can narrow it down to a win7 usb2 + device usb2 compatibility issue. Might be worth making sure our win7 patches are up to date, too.

Thanks for the replies guys.
The usb trick won't work because it's a laptop. And I tried all four of them. I only have windows 7 machines. One being a ultra sff and has like 12 usb ports. It hasn't failed me yet, but happens on the laptop.
It wouldn't hurt to get another cable, a longer one. And my sd is maxed out, I will pull it instead of format.
Thanks all

I had this problem. Plugged into the back instead if the hub and reinstalled everything. Now it's working like a charm on all usb ports. Really odd problem.

I had this problem. I was using a USB extension cable that was a bit long. All the other phones and USB devices worked fine with it. EPIC did not want to. I got the impression that EPIC needs more power from the USB port than most of these other devices. For me, skipping the USB extension cable did the trick. I also used a powered USB hub and that worked well too. You might want to try different USB ports. Some may provide more power than others. Also try a powered USB hub (some are built into monitors) if you have access to one.

I had the same issue with my laptop as well. It is most likely the cable. The samsung one is crap. I tried every port and installed the usb drivers a dozen times with no success. Used the cable from my wifes blackberry and worked on the first try. Just pick up a new cable. Try monoprice.com they have awesome deals.

Also make sure your antivirus is off although that's likely not the culprit. Do you install the drivers as administrator?
Try a new cord. If that doesn't work, try deleting/uninstalling the device and/or hub from the device manager - plug the phone in, letting win7 do its worst by not recognizing it, then open the device manager and find the usb hub. try deleting/uninstalling. unplug the phone and scan for hardware changes. I think this may force windows to reinstall the drivers for the usb hub. Disclaimer, it's been a while since I spent significant time fooling with windows computers so take this advice at your own risk - I'm feeling my way like an old man with cataracts trying to find his way around his long-lost childhood home. in the dark. With unfamiliar furniture. In an earthquake. While in a wheelchair. With flat tires....
My computer did this for a while and now it doesn't although it's certainly possible I changed the cord I was using.

The best way to get drivers to work is install PDAnet IMO..
I had driver problems upon driver problems.. swapped cables, etc.
went through all the motions that you all are describing here and what fixed it for me was installing PDAnet. Worked like a charm.
Hope this helps.

I agree about using pdanet for drivers. Unfortunately this problem isn't with the driver not being installed correctly. I got it on one machine and not another, using the same friver. In fact I got it to work on the same machinewith the same driver ... just different ports (one was stuck in usb1/ohci nd worked, the usb2 port never worked on one machine and a usb1 port never worked on a different one).

This worked for me when I had the problem. This will be the second time I had a usb cable go bad on me. Maybe I shouldn't buy those cheap ones from China...

I've had this problem with numerous cables on Dell E series laptops with 3 Epics and a Moment. For the life of me I couldn't get the phone to be recognized when using the USB ports on the left side of the machine. Plugged it into the ones on the right and have never had a problem. I think with the Dells it's a low current issue on the left side ports. The shorter the USB cable the better off you'll be if it is a low current problem.

thanks but i did alot of that last night and today, uninstall/reinstall drivers, usb hubs.. nothing
i may need to try another cable because i am workign on a friends epic sunday.

It HAS to be the power differences NOT cable.
Same cable as I charge with, plugged into the front of the computer (hub).
Plugged into the back of the computer recignized the first time.
=USB power

In my case, tried several micro USB cables, no dice. Tried my laptop and desktop, no dice. Tried USB hub or direct to PC usb ports, no dice. Device manager shows the right comm port but all the one-click roots i've tried can't find the phone. USB storage has never mounted for me from day one either.
Sigh, never had this issue with any other Android phone.

Finally figured out my issue. I had set it to "modem" while doing something else in an epst menu rather than "pda". Since I corrected that, works dandy.
I feel so stupid.

Windows 7 64 Bit Enterprise USB Problems

I have tried just about everything to get my Xoom to work with my 64bit Windows 7 system, but the various steps do not work. What is even more odd is that I have a laptop with windows 7 64bit enterprise that works perfectly with the Xoom.
So here are the symptoms:
1) When I connect the Xoom without debugging on, it tries to install a driver, but fails with a message about MTP drive failure.
2) When I turn debugging on, it installs a driver and tells me that the Xoom installed, but then my computer goes wonky. I can't open "My Computer", it like Windows Explorer freezes up. As soon as I disconnect the Xoom, my desktop works correctly again and I can go into "My Computer".
A few times i've gotten into "My Computer" after the Xoom installed, but when I double click on the Xoom icon it just times out.
The only difference I can think of between this PC and my laptop is that in the past I've connected my Droid X to this PC, and used those drivers. I'm not sure if it is some sort of issue because of the X or what. I've installed, uninstalled, cleaned, restarted, etc... with the Motorola drivers.
Its driving me nuts. Has nobody else had this problem?

Did you try different USB ports on your computer? I was kind of experiencing the same thing. I'm also running Windows 7 Enterprise x64. My explorer window would freeze up when I tried to transfer data from my PC to the Xoom. While frozen, switching from/to normal/debugging mode would unfreeze things, until I tried copying again.
My problem was resolved when I connected my Xoom to another USB port on my PC, one that was integrated with the motherboard. Previously, I was plugging it into one of the front USB ports.
So my suggestion is to try a different USB port, preferably one that's on the back of your PC.

i ran into the same issue as well.
this was fixed by changing to a different usb cable, and inserting it into a different port.
if you're connecting it to the front of your computer USB connector, try connecting via back of your desktop computer.
this worked for me.

Like another poster has suggested, the usb ports on the front of the base unit or ports on a usb hub might not be powerful enough to run the Xoom. I've had the same thing with external hard drives.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I've successfully connected my xoom to 3 Win x64 Enterprise boxes.
If I had to guess, I'd say that your front USB ports are either failing or under powered. I assume that you've tried a USB port on the back?

USB 3.0 problems?

Hey I have been trying the usb 3.0 on my phone and computer obviously i have usb 3 on my pc and when ever i seem to open the file browser for my note using windows explorer it crashes almost instantly (Windows explorer is not responding) havent tried messing about with any drivers as this shouldnt be the issue, ive tried using different usb ports and enabled the usb 3.0 option on the phone?

I have same problem.If some one can help me, please help me.
I am using it on win 7, usb 3.0
when i am using note 3 on usb 3.0 with usb 3.0 mode selected at phone end, my pc explorer stops responding to it.
As soon as i switch to usb 2.0 at phone end(MTP Device) it starts working, even if i connect it to usb 3.0 port at PC end and switch it to MTP, it starts working.
any help is appriciated.

it's not as fast as i expected

This happens to me on literally every Android phone on every PC and laptop. XP, 7 Pro, 8 Pro, 8.1, USB2, USB3, makes no difference. It usually takes 12 minutes to load the device, and the second I click anything, it crashes explorer.exe.
It started since they got rid of USB Mass Storage. God I miss that, MTP is sheer rubbish, even iTunes is faster and more stable...

Try to reinstall your usb 3.0 hub drivers.

usb 3.0
Hey there, I have had the same problem. And here is what worked for me and hopefully work for you. In order for the USB 3.0 to work on your note 3, you have to activate developers mode. If already not. Settings-->General-->About device-->And look for "build number" (second last option) tap it seven times, it should give you a message each time you tap that says "you are 4 steps away from becoming a developer" and after you have tapped it 7 times it should say "developer mode enabled" and in about devices you should now have the dev options. Select it and check USB debugging. Un-check it and unplug your USB and re-plug it in to the USB 3.0 port i should connect as a media device. :laugh:

Has anyone found a solution to this issue? Obviously USB Debugging was not the solution. Is this more of a windows problem, android problem or samsung?

Android.
Specifically, it's the Mass Transfer Protocol.
The device is connected as a Media Device now, meaning it isn't actually a drive. It can only support one action at the same time (So if your virusscanner is set to scan external media, you can forget opening it, as it's 'busy', resulting in a freeze and a crash.), has to work through a thousand little corners just to open, and everything done has to be converted first.
Whomever cooked up that protocol should have his head bashed in for his stupidity.

So...?
Still no solution ?
Personnaly, at least the debug mode trick made the 3rd option appear as I connect the device, but as soon as I try and check it, well an error message comes "impossible to use USB 3.0".
Is there an alternative to this mass storage protocol? is this the real reason why they didn't put usb 3.0 on the note 4? No one can make it work? not even with tweaks, xposed modules, etc?

6t won't connect to Windows 10 PC

I'm at a complete loss here guys, hate to even ask this. So I tried to connect my 6t to my Windows 10 PC and the PC won't even RECOGNIZE that anything was plugged in! No sound and not even an entry in device manager. I even went as far as to reinstall Windows 10 and no dice. I installed the One plus driver from here on XDA and they are unsigned drivers, so I disabled driver signature enforcement and the drivers are now on my PC, but with the PC not even noticing something was plugged in it's no use.

Just ruling out all possibilities (have run into this myself on other phones) :
Have you tried another port on you PC?
FWIW,I'm using a cable from either an LG or Samsung & that's working for me.
The device is seen & I got the pop-up on the phone after toggling the associated USB options in Dev Options on the phone.
Was able to execute ADB commands for an Immersive Mode app & to use the no-root ADB Uninstall commands.

I just used my og pixel xl type c cable and it instantly installed the drivers and recognized the phone

Front ports of PC chassis sometimes give too little power so try an usb port on back. try with other pc as it might be problem with your pc

Alright, so I tried different ports on my PC both front and back, no usb input sound or anything. I'm wondering if the USB C cable that comes in the box of the 6t just isn't a data cable? I have developer options enabled, adb debugging, and have the default USB mode set to MTP. Nothing still. I wonder why. Have you tried connecting your 6t with the included cable? Just to rule out if it IS a data cable or not. Thanks!

Is there a possibility to try on another computer? Just to rule out that the problem isn't in the computer itself...

I've just factory reset my 6T and plugged it into a USB 2 port on the front of my PC, using the red cable that came with the phone, and it immediately recognised it. You clearly have an issue but we can rule out it being a general issue.

just checking. you say it charges, that was the default setting on mine after i enabled usb debugging. i opened notifications on my phone and the was a small one saying phone charging, when i clicked on it i got an options page for usb preferences and then switched to file transfer. works fine now.

are you in fastboot mode on the phone? are you just running the phone within osygenOS?

I'm going to say damaged cable.
Try any other device that you can plug it into. If it still doesn't work it's the cable. If you change cable and still a problem I'd RMA the device maybe faulty port on phone. Device is too new to be playing games like this. Get a new one.

I just connected my, to windows 10 laptop after seeing this post. No driver installed, red cable that came with phone, USB 3 Port in the laptop. Nothing was needed to do for it to be recognized. Worked just like that.
Albeit I enabled USB debugging in developer option beforehand and changed the option to file transfer.

Just wanted to show the settings
