Suddenly I cant see my tab - Galaxy Tab General

On my PC. I was trying to get Heimdall set up and downloaded drivers and C+, that was the last thing I did , now when I connect to the PC and mount I never see the file folder or the device. Win 7 PC.
I tried it on my dell mini 9 XP with no heimdall and it connected properly. How do i fix this on my Win7 device

Okay, your post title definitely got my attention

Me too I can't even get ADB to see it... It connects, but no device is visible... tried to change my samsung USB drivers with everithing I have been able to find on the internet, and with Heimdall I changed the drivers and reverted back, but nothing... I have win 7 64bits...

Tried 2 different Pcs in my office today no luck

Bump for ideas

Try this, copy the stuff you really need to keep from your SD card to a drive on a pc using an adapter. Format your card and put it back in your tab, turn on your tab let it run for a couple seconds then try to mount it. That worked for me. I added my stuff back to the card and all is well

[Drivers] MS Windows x86 and x64 USB Drivers for Samsung Galaxy S

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.

[Q] connectivity windows seven

When I plug in my Htc Glacier w7 automatically installs drivers for the phone. Upon inspection the drivers are for remote NDIS internet sharing. So great i can tether super easy, and all. The problem lies in the fact that i have no way of accessing the SD card. even when i mount the SD card on the phone it fails to show up on the computer. The SD card works fine, and the phone works fine. I have all the usb drivers for the mt4g but i never get a chance to apply them. If i got to update drivers it says its already up to date even when i point it right at he usb driver folder. If i uninstall the drivers and unplug then replug in the device they are just automatically reinstalled, not giving me a chance to do anything else. Just upgraded to w7 from xp64 this is the only major problem i am having.
Just in case you haven't tried, in settings check under connect to pc, and you should have the choice to turn the phone into a portable hard drive or something like that... can't say what the exact wording is on the phone, as I'm not running stock anymore and the connect to pc sub-menu isn't there anymore.

Hi all
I’m having trouble with my GalaxyS4, I can’t see my phone in windows explorer, I have tried 3 different PC’s,, when connect via USB I get the message on the phone saying ‘’connected as media device’’ but my PC does not see it, I was having trouble for the past few weeks where my phone would connect to the PC but during file transfer the PC would lose connection to the phone, I have deleted drivers and re-installed them on 2 of the PC’s Any Ideas ?

Help with USB

Hello!
I just started having issues with my android phone and the ability to select the USB connection type (Charge, MTP, PTP, etc...)
I was getting the notification fine 10 minutes ago. But now it doesnt appear anymore....
I might have something to do with this issue.
I was trying to move files over to the phone and the file transfer froze and wasnt responding on windows PC.
I unplugged the phone and the transfer screen went away, tried to plug it in again and windows listed it as an unknown device.
Both of my windows PCs are having this problem. The USB cord still works as I have tested it on other devices. I have tried enabling USB debug mode and that didn't help.
My phone boots, all the apps seem to be working fine.
I have a samsung 64 gb micro sd inserted into the phone and it it formatted for marshmallow. (currently using this ROM: [ROM][Lux][XT1563/2] ֍ Marshmallux ֍ Stock based rom 6.0 [MPD24.65-18])
Couldnt find another post about this issue so Any help would be super.
So i figured out its something to do with windows 10.
I plugged my phone into a windows 7 pc i have and it worked as it did before.
solved
A simple restart did the trick.
Wasn't sure why this would help since i was having the issue on two windows 10 devices.
This seems like a really small problem so moderators can choose to delete this if the post is redundant.

Nokia 6 USB Driver

Hi. I am a Windows Phone transplant. I got my Nokia 6 from Amazon and I am connecting it up via USB to put my music collection on the SD card. When I connect, it mounts as a CD and there is a setup for what looks to be the drivers there. When I run setup, nothing happens. The computer is Win 10. When I took the phone out of the box (from Amazon US), I noticed that the Amazon preloaded app took me to the Chinese Amazon site. so I think that this version is based heavily on the Chinese ROM. Does anyone have a direct link to the USB drivers for the PC? The ones I have seen on searching all look very dubious.
It was pretty cool turning this phone into an Android powered/Microsoft Services phone.
thanks
The Amazon app is just configured for Chinese. You can select another language, just go to the link next to the flag, drop down box, find the USA flag.
For the USB connection, after you connect the phone to the PC, on the phone, swipe down from the top and you should see a notification "USB *****". The "****" could be PTP, charging, MTP, etc. You want to use MTP to transfer files to the phone.
I am using MTP to connect, but has I mentioned, The phone is opening as a CD-ROM on the computer where there is a setup program with Drivers on it and it is write protected. If I try to run the setup program that it presents, Nothing happens. It starts, and gives me the Admin make changes screen, but after that nothing. This is the drivers that I think need to be on my computer to mount the phone properly to transfer files.
Mine did the same but as the previous poster said change it to mpt on the phone then in file explorer Nokia 6 appeared and when I clicked on it both the internal and sd cards showed up and I copied my music folder directly to sd card

I have the same issue. I tried choosing the MTP, even PTP as well, from the USB options, but still no luck in seeing the internal storage of my phone. Maybe this is a Windows 10 issue? I tried connecting my phone on my windows 8.1 PC and it worked fine. Anybody has a workaround on this?
my phone always have a pop-up ask me if I want to enable file transfer when I connect to a pc, maybe check if yours have the same pop-up.

Phone does not show as drive
When I connect my Nokia 6 via USB, I get a popup asking what i want to do (charge, charge and transfer and two I can't remember at the moment). It does not show up as a (USB) drive (i.e. it is not assigned a drive letter), but among the Libraries (like Downloads, Pictures, etc.). I see the CD-ROM drive with the USB driver setup as well, but I guess you only need that when the phone does not show up right away. (Maybe on older versions of Windows?)
I can write to the phone and the SD card. I have a 64 GB Samsung class 10 card, it writes at only 12 MB/s; is that normal?
When I clicked 'Properties' on the SD Card, I saw that it was formatted as FAT32, so that explains why I can't write large (>4 GB) video files to it. Shame. Does anyone have an idea if this is ever gonna change?. I tried formatting the card to ExFat, but then the phone just says 'incompatible file system' or something like that.
Can't get access to my phone data mother internal nor external
I am using MTP to connect, but has I mentioned, The phone is opening as a CD-ROM on the computer where there is a setup program with Drivers on it and it is write protected. If I try to run the setup program that it presents, Nothing happens. It starts, and gives me the Admin make changes screen, but after that nothing happens. Pls help me guy's......
I have the same problem on Windows 8.1 x64
Nevermind, I found the solution for my device, I can't guarantee it's the same for you.
Open your settings on your phone
Go to About Phone
Repeatedly tap on Build number untill a message pops
up saying that you're a developer now.
Go back into settings and open Developer options now
Scroll down and find USB Debugging and turn it on.
That's it, you should be able to manage your files now
Finally Nokia is making Andorid based phones now. Because Android is the kind of OS people need today. With tons of application choice.
You can download the ADB driver for your Nokia in this link:
https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip
change your cable. That's what the problem is
