my fascinate is having problems being recognized by my pc. when connected to the pc, it does allow it to charge via usb, however it will not recognize it as a media device. device manager does not recognize that anything is being plugged in. running windows 7 x64. tried plugging into a friends pc and it will not see it either. wondered if it had anything to do with the voodoo lagfix, so i removed it, and still no dice, both with usb debugging disabled and enabled. anybody have any ideas? bad cable?
dl the samsung drivers from the odin thread
i tried that. already had the drivers downloaded for using android sdk. tried uninstalling and reinstalling them. nothing.
Make sure that if your PC sees the SD card as a removable drive, that you mount the drive from dragging down the taskbar on the phone and selecting the usb storage section.

I stated in my first thread that the device manager does not see anything when its plugged into the PC.
Try googleing "VZW Samsung Fascinate drivers". I'm not saying that I didn't do something else wrong, but my computer wouldn't see my phone with the drivers from the"one click root" link, but it was fine when I downloaded the ones from VZW.
It may be that a reinstall is all I needed.

Hmm I'll try that when I get home from work, but honestly I think its a phone/cable issue over a driver one. The PC won't even recognize that anything is plugged in. With a driver issue it should see it and say it cannot be installed... I think I'm gonna get a new cable today and see if that fixes it

Team,
For those of you having trouble finding drivers here are some links.
64bit:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml
32bit:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml
For Linux and Mac the Android SDK drivers should work fine.
I don't know if it is a conflict with my AV or something else, but when I use the x86 drivers linked, my phone will shut off completely when attaching with "PC Internet" option in the USB settings.

yes they have... This feels redundant. also add in that if you're a nub just install kies and it will auto dl the correct drivers you need.

Also on a mac you do not need the sdk. You do need to be in debugging mode though.
Also, you could just go to the Captivate webpage on Samsung's site and get the Captivate drivers, not the generic Galaxy S drivers linked in the OP.
thanks was looking for these!
In Windows 7 I'm not having an easy time getting the phone to be recognized. If I click Start > Devices and Printers it shows up as Samsung_Android but even Kies won't recognize the phone so something is wrong. I also can no longer mount my external SD card and have it show up in Windows. I tried to uninstall all the drivers and reinstall but it keeps telling me there are already drivers installed...soo..... *shrugs*

I had this problem on my desktop as well. I was using a front USB port on my computer and when I plugged it into one of the back ports, it worked. I also found the USB cable that came with the phone to work better than a cable I had lying around. Try different ports and if all else fails, try a different cable.
So here's something bizarre. I've been using my PC (Win 7 64bit) for weeks now with my Captivate and no issues. Had originally had woes when I got it, but it started working. Anyway, today I plug it in and ... it doesn't recognize it. Have installed / changed NOTHING -- only M$ patches have been applied. Tried to roll back prior and get the lovely BSOD probably because I have 4 SATA Raptors RAID-0'd and M$ doesn't know how to use that, but has anyone else seen this behavior before?
And to add to this. I rebooted my phone and now it works again. Very odd but problem solved.

ive been trying for weeks and trying all three, generic Galaxy S, AT&T captivate drivers and Kies and can't get anything working in USB Mass storage mode or Kies mode...
This is on Windows 7 64bit. Driving me crazy. USB mode wont install the Mass storage drivers and Kies wont recognize
My issue is that when I connect the phone on Windows 7 32bit the phone and the internal SD card will connect but one I try to click on anything inside the phone or card the phone will immediately disconnect and then reconnect. When I try to click again it will repeat the disconnection. After that, I don't even have to click on the phone or card directories, it will disconnect then reconnect about 6 more times. Eventually it will be stable and not disconnect. This is extremely annoying. Anyone else with this issue.

drivers from softpedia are OLD
drivers are updated!
v1.3.2250.0 (dated 8 march 2011)
download here
I'm sure a lot of you have come across this problem before. I am trying to root my samsung epic 4G, but I need samsung drivers. I downloaded the 32 bit and it would not recognize my phone. I tried the 64 and nothing. I also tried a bunch of reinstalling and updating the drive but it still would not recognize it.
I have USB debugging on; I tried mounting it. I tried just having it on the charging option, but no matter what it would not recognize it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Make sure you know if your pc is 32 or 64 bit. Install drivers; reboot without phone in. When pc is completely loaded then plug in your phone.
If you're using a desktop; use the back USB ports and not the front ones.

2 things you can try...
1) go into device manager and manually load the drivers once connected (they are in the 16_shrewberry folder)
or
2) load up kies

What is Kies? Can u give me alittle more info
EDIT: I tried manually updating the drivers in device manager by clicking on the " Unknown Device " and browsing to 16_shrewberry folder and making sure "include all subfolders" is checked and windows still says "The driver software for your device is up to date"
EDIT 2: I googled and downloaded Kies and still a No Go... Anybody have any other suggestions ?

Try a different micro USB cable. Mine would show as unknown 90% of the time, I had to keep plugging it back in. The stock cable sucks ass, have any spares around? I used my kindle cable and that works.

So that 2 different cables, i've uninstalled/reinstalled/rebooted phone and pc 3 x's, tried to manually install it in devince managers and downloaded Kies (Which takes a LONG TIME to update)
And i still cant get it 2 work, Now its the principle of the thing
yeah laptops and front usb ports tend to have most problems since they are low power ports..

Changing **** for **** doesnt always work lol. Trust me, my wife and I both have the epic and neither of ours would recognize /w w7 64 bit until we used a different cable. Not promising this is 100% the problem, but I have a strong feeling that it is. The samsung USB cable is good for one thing... charging.
After I connect to PC, it does nothing. I'd like to copy pics from sd card...
I did installed the drivers..
When you connect you should get something on your notification bar at the top. Drag that down and you should get some usb connection options...mass storage should do the trick. Alternatively you can download motorola drivers on ur pc and use the phone portal.

I did install drivers and restarted he computer...
so I tryed to connect to different PC and it worked right away with no drivers installed. So something's up with my computer, but it does recognize my camera and usb flash drive...
any ideas?
Yea it sounds like you have driver problems with that computer.
All I can think of is to uninstall the drivers, restart, and plug the phone in. I didn't install drovers when I got mine, just plugged the phone in and it installed the drivers for me.

Have you tried different USB ports? Sounds weird but I've seen this happen with a camera once

Hi All,
I've tried everything, including the usb drivers from the root guide and installing the Samsung Kies Mini program, but I can't get Windows to recognize the memory on the device. I want to transfer some movies on the Galaxy and have not been able to figure it out.
When I run the Kies software it says "plug in your usb" and when I plug in the Galaxy nothing happens...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It should work by just plugging in the usb/connector cable. You don't need Kies (doesnt support the 10.1 anyway right now)
When your pc does not recognize your tab, something is fishy about your pc/ usb.
USB connection should work:
(Autoplay should pop up
Select open device to connect (GT-P7510)
Click on phone
Select directory to copy file to)
Sounds like a PC problem. (Look in device manager and see if your USB controllers are ok)
Looked at Device Manager, no issues under USB.
Comes up as an Android phone...
forget the cable...
try 'Samba Fileshare' app free from the Market.
Connect to your 10.1 over WiFi and send files to it via the shared folder it creates.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.funkyfresh.samba&feature=search_result
Worked fine for me without installing anything.
On another note, the Kies software does seem to somewhat support the 10.1 as it installed the required adb drivers when I chose it from the menu.
im having problems too.... for now I am using dropbox.
I have a shared folder on my PC and use ES File Explorer over Wifi, it's simple and works a treat. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&feature=search_result

I had to disable USB Debugging to get mine to pop up. Took me a while.
Oh thank God I am not the only one having this problem,,, i have tried every driver combo out there plus leaving USB debugging off and still i get nothing on my windows 7 machine. I have tried three different machines and all the same so it is not a computer issue i think it is a driver issue or a interface with the tab????
Interesting thing though is that I can push via ADB all day it that connects easy!!! WTF?????

I'm running OTA 4.0.3 (Acer_AV041_A500_1.033.00_PA_CUS1) rooted with I don't know what tool, but rooted after upgrading to 4.0.3, and using one of the tools found here which was the latest (at the time of rooting). The tablet has an "A500 Root Tools" app which has options to enter APX mode amongst other things.
I'm unable to get my Acer to connect to my PC via USB. I tried using both a mini(?)-usb cable and an A-A cable. My acer makes no notification, and there's no visible, or audible, evidence that anything was connected. USB Debugging enabled and disabled makes no difference. The tablet shows absolutely no sign that anything was plugged in. Nothing in notifications, nothing in any file managers.
Likewise on both a Windows 7 PC, and a Windows Vista machine. No little sound saying I plugged something in. Nothing listed in device manager. Nothing anywhere. The Win7 machine has the Acer drivers installed, as it is the machine I used to root it a few months ago.
Is there some weird ICS toggle that I need to perform to get this working? I know my USB ports are working as I've plugged in USB sticks and it mounts them without issue.
At the end of the day, I'm just wanting to flash my bootloader so that I can install CWM and a custom ROM. If there's a way to do that without needing my PC connected, that would make me equally happy.

Reinstall the Acer Drivers and also the Google drivers from the android sdk if u have that installed, if not use the adb_fast.zip attached. For you to successfully flash the BL do not underestimate the importance of having the drivers correctly installed - its the cause of 90% of the problems folks have had - my advice is to keep Device Manager open the whole time so you can see what is or isn't installing - dont proceed with the flash until you are sure they are - else you'll be looking at a downgrade to HC to fix things
you can also use Acer Recovery Installer from the market to install a custom recovery
While I appreciate your help, my issue is not drivers - Windows isn't loading the wrong drivers, or no drivers at all. Windows is showing no sign at all, at all, in device manger, any where, that a tablet has been plugged in. Like wise, the tablet gives ZERO notifications on being plugged in to a PC. Nothing. No sounds. No notification. Nothing.
I was originally using the micro(?) usb slot, and it was not working. I assumed that USB slot was dead. So I went and bought a USB A-A cable - after testing the normal USB slot and established it works - and it, too, does absolutely nothing when plugging the device into a PC.
I've since tested with an Ubuntu 12.04 machine as well. dmesg lists nothing.

and the adb interface driver thats not showing in device manager?? and you have the acer drivers installed??
All the signs are pointing to no drivers, failing that its sounding like a hardware issue either yr tab or cable - can u try on another pc/laptop?
Tested it on a Win 7 Dell, on a Vista Dell, and on an Ubuntu 12.04 Compaq. None show any sign of the device being connected.
I know my *two* micro USB cords work as my Nooks (color and tablet) have no problem with them. I know the large USB slot works as I've plugged in a keyboard and a USB memory stick and both are immediately detected by android.
I've also done a factory reset on the tab. Problem persists, obviously.
I'm actually setting up stock Win7 on another laptop right now. When it's complete I'll install acer drivers and plug in the tablet. It will be the only USB device, let alone android, to ever be plugged in to it.

The tool you used to root it (icsRoot) also has an unroot tool, which you could have used...I have tried to unroot manually which wasnt easy as I had a pre-rooted rom and I had real trouble getting rid of superuser, but in your case it may be a bit different....Sorry can't give you much help in the unrooting ics dept. Maybe try flashing acer stock rom??? or starting a new thread??

are you trying to flash something or do you mean when you connect yr tab
windowz explorer doesnt show your int/ext storage??
more info needed, what rom and bootloader, what OS on yr pc can u try on a different one, try a different cable and usb port..
have you run the acer drivers setup.exe
did u install the android usb ones
have u opened a command prompt from the folder where adb.exe is and run "adb devices"...does a number show??
when u have device manager open and connect yr cable do you see the drivers install. If they are there then uninstall them, disconnect yr cable and clean boot and reconnect.
If they do not install then manually install by pointing them to the folder you extracted the zip to...for the acer ones, just point it to your c: drive
If windows trys to install them, stop the hardware wizard from searching windows update and manually install them yourself.
If you've tried to flash the bootloader and it hasnt completed for what ever reason - you can strike issues such as yours - again, uninstall, clean boot, reconnect, manual install

That's correct, a straight USB "A to A" won't work. Further, I discovered something else; not all micro-usb cables are created equally! I was using a cable that worked fine on my Thunderbolt phone, would not work at all on my A500. Turned out there's some enhancements to the pinouts on the newer micro-usb devices. So the lesson here is go with the cable that came with the device if at all possible.
Seriously though, give a different micro-usb cable a shot; they're pretty cheap around the interwebz.
