Hey Guys
So I am having a very unique problem. I can charge my phone perfectly fine when it is connect it to the wall sockets. I put the mini usb plug completely into the phone and it charges fine. But when I connect to the my computer (mac, PC and ubuntu) it doesn't charge. If I plug the cable completely into the phone it doesn't charge. But if I partially plug it in, then it charges, but the computer doesn't recognize the sandisk card or my phones memory (so I can't navigate through the file directory).
It all started when I tried to charge my phone through the car stereo USB in my car.
Please if anybody has a solution to this problem, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you All.
Were you using the official car charger (that came with the phone)?
Maybe you using a low voltage/deffective USB port on your PC (mine has a 5 in 1 Card Reader with an extra USB port that is cheap and doesn't charge my iPod, for example)...

Try different port or get a replacement for your cord.
Ok I have the following problem:
I bought g1 without usb cable (original one is curved) and I tried to connect it to my pc with regular usbmini cable from my ext. Hdd and charging works but I can't transfer data cuz it doesn't recognize my device and on my phone it doesn't even show it in notification bar. So my q is:
Does it make a difference if a cable jack is curve or a regular one and does it make a difference for this phone? I don't think that usb port on the phone is broken cuz it charges. Thanks in forward.
I used a cable that is for charging a PS3 controler and worked great.

I solved it by reinstalling the CyanogenMod. Thanks for help
Hi guys, I have this really weird issue occurring. I have my note 3 connected to my computer via usb, but it does not stay connected. My computer keeps making a noise of new device connected, then disconnected. The phone connects, few secs later, disconnects. I have tried 3 different usb, 1 is the original,, different usb ports. It cant be the cable tho, cause it charges fine, and i wiggled it while charging. I let the drivers install when i first plugged the n3 in, so those should be good.
Any idea? could it be a ROM issue? Really need it to work, since I use tethering (

What rom are you using? And have you tried reinstalling drivers from samsung? http://www.theandroidsoul.com/galaxy-note-3-drivers-installation-guide/ and have you tried just using the micro USB cable (not the USB 3.0)
biggins 4.5, yea i tried those drivers, didnt try usb2.0 yet.
Its literally sitting here connecting, then disconnecting on and on, i have no idea, not even moving it

It could be the data pins in the cable/phone, the power pins would still let it charge even though there's still supposed to be energy going through the data pins when charging. And have you selected a different option when plugging it into the computer (from installer, media device, to camera) from the options that note 3 provides? (click the icon in the status bar when you plug it in)
yea i tried camera, its on installer by default i think and i tried mtp also, usb3.0 said it required airplane mod so i didnt try that. How could i check the pins>

Well it you look at the port and they're not bent or snapped then it isn't the pins. What about USB 2.0?
Will try 2.0 tomorrow, here is a pic of the pins, if you zoom in do they look ok?

What OS is your computer running? There are some USB issues with windows 8.1. I was having the same problem at times but there was a fix in optional updates that have seemed to clear things up for now. I think it's the download numbered...2914219. I'm not completely sure as I did a few weeks ago.
Just for the record, I have had trouble with certain cables in the past. Sometimes computer didn't like a long cable.
Pins are absolutely fine, only reason I even mentioned those was because one time a little kid plugged my streak 7 cord in upside down and jacked the female port to crap. And as TheAfroSamurai mentioned it might be your computer, I had trouble with a long cable with my kin 2. Different cable fixed it for me.

I can connect my V20 to a Windows PC via USB cable, and transfer files back and forth. I had to pick something on a menu the first time I plugged in the phone.
However, if I plug a USB stick directly into the V20, it does not recognize it, or respond at all. My friend plugs the same USB stick into his V10 and an app pops up and shows the folders.
I'm using a micro-USB to USB-C adapter on the stick to plug into the V20. I know the adapter works, because I tested it when connecting to the PC.
I have searched settings for "USB" and it only comes up with USB tethering.
This is an AT&T stock phone, using the stock launcher. No root or anything.
Any idea how to get the USB recognized on the V20? Thanks.
it might be that the USB host function doesn't work with those adapters. have you tried plugging in a USBC to USB adapter and plugging a flash drive into that?
something like this

I've tried the same thing without success. My note 3 & 4 worked fine. I also had a Note 7 and Nexus 6P and it didn't work with those either.
has there been any advancement on this issue?
Did anyone find the answer to this? My V20 used to boot up a USB stick but just stopped working one day.
ive replaced the usb port, fully updated the phone, tryed a friends battery, new charging brick and cords , tryed different
outlets and the phone will not fast charge or show up on the computer/any computer.
when i plug it into the computer i get a error message:usb device not recognized or malfunctioned (i shortend it)
much help needed please and thank you
With regards to the fastcharging part, are you also sure you are using an adapter that supports 2Amps at 5V ? This is also the spec of the original adapter that came with the phone (I also found that it works with different 2.1 Amp. adapters generally for tablets)

I have the same problem. I changed the USB board but the problem was on the motherboard. I test all possibilities soft and we did. I changed USB card, USB cable and nothing. I went to a service and said that it is guilty USB chip on the motherboard. True or not I do not know but the man said he changed and now it works. It cost $ 50. He said it's a motherboard intervention more difficult.
