K i thought i had this figured out....

Hi guys, I would really appreciate any help you could give me on this issue.
OK so when i first tried to activesync my mogul it wouldnt work. It wouldnt start up, wouldnt recognize my device...
I read the manual and it said to uncheck the usb to comp. in settings...
I did and it worked!
now a couple of days later everytime i try to activesync, you know that beep it makes when u connect and disconnect.... well its doing that a thousand times almost every seconed and i get a pop up that says "usb device not recognized" . Device has malfunctioned...."
then another that says "couldnt install properly" or something like that"!! ----then it disconnects.... (still beeping though...)
yes my usb plugs are fine i checked with other devices....
Whats wrong?
Thanks in advance

anyone have any ideas....

have you tied a different USB cable or on a different computer?

Getting Started Disc

Hi..
Does anyone know of a site where i could download the xperia disc?
I cracked mine

http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/...ea-9df9-4920-af33-3a0e2e4e7beb&displaylang=en
this will get you syncing in no time. but i dunno what else was on the disc bc it wouldn't install.

you can buy mine if you want

ooo.. I cant install that cause i'm on windows xp
but i searched on and came across Microsoft ActiveSync, which can be installed on xp, but it still wont detect my device.. When connected, the phone will charge though, but no windows pop up or anything.. On the taskbar, the USB icon will say 'your device is not recognised...'
I really need that cd, can you pls upload it if possible?

um, that doesn't have anything special in it, I poped it in and ejected few minutes later without installing anything,
be sure to get the latest version of activesync: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FamilyID=9e641c34-6f7f-404d-a04b-dc09f8141141
also, make sure your usb port has enough power to do the connection (some "non-ac" usb hubs may fail)

lol, throw that disc, install only last version of activesync

Oh, thank you so much for pointing out the usb point.. All this while, i've been conecting the cable to the front usb of my CPU, and after your advice decided to try the rear USB port, and it works!! woohoo..
Activesync works now..

PC doesn't sync with Vibrant... help needed

I hook up my Vibrant to my PC and nothing happens. The phone starts charging but I never get a prompt on my computer or sound notification that something has been mounted.
I go to my computer and see nothing of an external hardware source being plugged in.
I want to root my phone but I can't seem to get my Vibrant to show up on my computer. My MyTouch Slide had no problem. Suggestions?
I've already tried changing the USB drive settings...

I am not near my computer right now, so maybe someone more experienced can give you precise advice, but what I did for my PC (XP Pro) is download the Samsung USB Driver, install it, and only then the PC would recognize the phone.
Also, after your phone is recognized, you still have to mount it as an external drive from the phone itself before it can work.

See this is why I hate windows. I spent the last half hour trying to figure out what was wrong with this. In the end, simply plugging the USB into a different port fixed everything.

Have the same issue here. One port works and one does not recognize the Vibrant no matter what I try.

That's not a windows problem, you have an iffy USB port

Also, now that you have fixed your issue, why not just download the update.zip file directly to your phone, no need to use your pc.

USB not recognized

When I plug my phone into my usb port I keep getting an error message
That says
USB device not recognized
one of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
So when I do that it says unknown. I know I have the drivers installed because I can odin back to stock. I am thinking this is the reason why wired tether will not work.
Can anyone let me know what the problem may be?
Thanks.

This has happened to me from time to time. A reboot of the pc and phone has always fixed it.

I just realized I have never used this cable with the phone. I got it at walmart and it is made by fuse. So it could be the cable.

Also try a different usb port. Mine got error error messages on some ports but not the other on the same computer.

I bought several usb cables for cheap online. 1 totally stopped working, and another one disconnects the phone is I move the cable.
I always suspect the cable!

I am having the same problem with my laptop atm...
My computer can't seem to see the epic when it's in d/l mode. I've installed the samsung drivers as well...but no go.
Hopefully someone has a suggestion to fix the problem. I'll be seaching the forums in the meantime.

had the same problem try a different usb port aslo dont use usb multi hubs.

I have the same problems as well.
A reboot fixes nothing.
None of my ports work.
I do not want to replace my epic but this simple issue is nerve wrecking.

I have a similar problem. Both my wife and I have the epic. I have no issues connecting my phone to either of our computers but when I connect my wife's epic neither of the computer's see the phone at all (not even as an unrecognized device). The phone asks if I want to mount the sd card and I say yes and nothing happens. I've tried usb debugging and I can't get Odin to work either for hers (fine for mine). Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks

[Q] Xnote21, Perfect install minus usb TRANSFER on pc

Hello,
Long story short.
Concept of the phone is, plug into pc "tada" you can access the SD Card, and the External SD Card (64gb). Always worked on Xnote14, 15, and not 21.
I did a full clean wipe of phone, fully done the switchover to Xnote21, with data wipe reset everything to a literal.
Now to "xfer" files from pc back onto phone... I have to pull the micro sd, place it in a card reader and transfer... OR... dropbox... and i'm sitting in the same room with both.....
I have checked if this issue persists, where I can SEE THE PHONE IN DEVICE MANAGER, but NOT in my computer, folders, etc...
This issue persists on my pc AND laptop. Laptop = Windows 10 Tech Preview. PC = Windows 8.1 Pro. (Both 64bit).
Have tried reinstalling the following drivers. SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.zip & Using Kies 2 or Kies 3 to "troubleshoot/reinstall driver". NO DICE. Even after rebooting several times.
Have tried to "uninstall and DELETE DRIVER" from device manager. NO CHANGE.
Am I missing anything OBVIOUS...
When phone connects, I naturally have on the phone, The usb pc connection tab thing, that lets me click camera PTP, Media Device MTP, or Media Device (USB 3.0). And NEITHER function for showing a "drive like object" to let me connect phone to pc and browse directory's that are accessible.... ie dcim......
I seriously feel like i'm missing a super expressive facepalm moment, and would love ANY help whatsoever... aside from smashing it...

Bump... I actually need serious help with this, can ANYONE assist WHATSOEVER PLEASE

Another day, another beep beep goes the jeep... Anyone? Please! It's frustrating to just plug in the microSD into an external and wear it down every few days, while a single usb3.0 cable is much faster....

Another day again,
Seriously can anyone give me a hint on what to fix...

You may get help if you post to the roms forum.

To clarify...
This is the " Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting " right? I thought this was the area to place it... and if I bumped the rom's i'd get shunned by the moderators?

BUMP.
Still seeking help with this!

Mother of ALL BUMPS, Please someone help.
