Computer problems

My computer will say the driver's are installed, but when I go under my computer to move files, there is no drive listed for my phone. Whats going on here. Using a new hp computer with windows 7. Any help here would be nice.

I have also check the device manager, It is listing it as a t-mobile slide, bla bla bla so I un-installed and re-installed, still no luck, How or what am I doing wrong that the computer isn't listing this as a drive so I can move files?

when you plug phone in, a notification should apear on phone, pull down top bar and see what the USB symbol says next to it, if it says anything other than disk drive then go to settings>connect to pc>disk drive and then hit done

I do not have a usb thing pop up n my phone n the setting are right under the phone

it should be a notification in the notification bar, if you are not getting the notification then you may have a bad port on the computer, is the phone charging when you plug it in?

Try replacing the USB cable if you plug it in and charge light doesn't turn on.

nope, tryed different ports, all are reconizing that the phone is plugged in n the phone charges

Ok, I'm going to try a different computer, I tryed here at work, the computer started installing but I needed admin rights to install hardware so I guess I will try later

Stupid question, but have you tried: from the home screen, if you go to Menu > Settings > Connect to PC, Default connection type, try setting it to Disk drive...

Yes and I have tryed turning it to sync with the program I downloaded from htc, nothing. Now when I plugged it in last night, I noticed that I plugged it into the sata port but it still regonized the phone, deleted the driver n re installed by actually using the usb port but still nothing. So I just tryed my older laptop n it installed the driver, said t mobile slide, phone was chargiing but I still ddnt have the usb pop up on my phone.
I am starting to think somthing is wrong with the phone

Ok this is weird. I used a older laptop with xp n everything works fine. What should I do or download for win 7 to work properly

[Q] Help! LG E400 USB problems

Hi, I have been rooting and ROM-ing my LG E400 for a while now, and I have come across a problem.
It seems I have accidentally deleted my usb driver on my phone, so when I connect my phone to a computer it charges, but i cannot access the phone through the computer in any way.
Can anyone help???????

I think you can select what your phone has to do when connected to an USB somewhere in the settings. Make sure to let your phone connect as a media device, because that way it'll give you access to its internal and external SD card. Also, if you have a PIN/password lock screen, you need to unlock your phone after you plug it into the USB otherwise it won't give you access.

I have searched every crook of my phone but there are no usb options available. They used to always pop up when I plugged in the usb, but they are unaccessable to me. When I plug it into a computer, the computer does not even recognise it as a connected device. This has happened with every computer i have connected it to.....

Go to "Settings" the choose "Storage" click on the left touch surface (the square next to the arrow) the choose USB connection (or someting like that) then enable "usb storage".
Good Luck :good:

try to download and then install DRIVERS of your phone in your computer maybe the DRIVERS are missing in your computer

[Q] PC Will Not Recognize My Phone Over USB

Hi everyone,
This is my first post about my Note 4, and I'm really frustrated.
All I wanted to do was transfer some music to the SD card on my phone, and I've just wasted the entire evening and have nothing to show for it.
I'm running Windows 8.1 on my PC and Android 5.0.1 on my Verizon phone. When I connect via USB, a popup in the system tray says that it has identified a Samsung File-Stor Gadget USB Device and assigns it drive letter F:.
However, almost instantly, Windows decides that my phone is a modem! USB Safely Remove and Device Manager both call it a Samsung Mobile USB Modem, and Explorer does not show a drive F:.
The Notification dropdown displays "Connected as a media device", and when I tap on it, I can see that "USB computer connection set to Media device (MTP)" is checked.
I installed the latest version of Samsung Kies on my PC and ran it, but it fails to connect to the phone.
Can anybody tell me what's going on? Thanks!
P.S. Ironically enough, even though I can't do anything, I can't stop the device because adb.exe has the connection locked!

Card reader is less hassle. Cables as you know are unstable at times.

I would try going into Device Manager (or maybe Devices and Printers) in the Control panel, right clicking your device and uninstalling it.
Reboot and let Windows detect the device again when your reconnect the phone.

Good idea, but I checked and it wasn't there. When I connect, a new Modems entry is created in Device Manager, but when I disconnect it disappears.
I might have to go w7excursion's route. Thank you both for your suggestions.

PC wont recognize device for file transfer

Just recently i tried to transfer for the first time, some wallpapers to my phone, and when i plug in the usb, the phone starts to charge normally but i cannot figure out why i cant transfer files from pc to phone or vice versa.
When i plug it in, it gives me the option to select what to "Use USB for", but when i select either MTP (file transfers) or PTP (transfer photos or files), nothing happens. I cannot browse the phone to pick anything at all.
When i go to device manager on PC i see under Portable devices the name of my phone (Moto G4 Play) but it has an exclamation point next to it. I have tried to uninstall and re-install or even update the driver but it will remain this way (if i click its propierties it tells me "This Device cannot start. Code 10"
Is there anything else i can do either on my phone or pc to make this work?
Other info:
Already downloaded motorola device manager to see if it would help but nope.
My PC OS is windows xp (yeah, i know... :laugh

That probably explains everything
I don't think there are compatible drivers for Windows XP..

Long term support for WinXP ended three whole years ago. Though what I noticed with CM and Lineage is that the first time the phone is set up, it won't enable MTP even if checked. You have to reboot the phone and then MTP will actually enable properly.

Also, it may happen with 3rd party cables too. I myself faced this issue with Boat Indestructible cable, then I used the original cable that came with phone and successfully done it. But I still can't understand, how that cable can transfer data to/from other phones....

Just another bit of info:
Today while trying to make it work, i updated the driver from the Device Manager again and somehow i could access the phone as intended.
The problem is that after a few seconds, the window closes on its own! Then i have to redo the whole process and It gives me access again but every time, after a few seconds, the browsing window closes on its own!
I have tried with other cables and no dice, tried also rebooting phone and pc and also tried plugging it to all available usb ports. Any other tip or method i can try?

Try another pc to discard things (so you know if it's the pc or the phone)

Cant see phone in Windows Explorer

Hi Guys
I have two identical phones S5's one is a spare so does not have a sim card. The one I use I can plug it into a usb on my computer the computer beeps and it shows up in windows explorer. The second I plug into my computer it peeps the same sound but does not show up in explorer. If I have Device manager open and expand the USB folder it refreshes but no new devices not like the first phone where is refreshes and I see a new entry. Both phones have usb debugging on.
Any ideas
P.S. If I pull down the menu from the top and click on the options for USB then pick Transferring Images (transfer images and other files via a PTPconnectionif MTP is not avaliable) then I can see the phone in Explorer but Odin does not see the phone. If I pick Transferring media files (Transfer media files to a computer via an MTP connection) then the phone dissapears from Explorer.
Whats going on The phone that works of in USB options i pick Transfering media files and all is well whats going on with this second phone
Thanks
Rick

The phone Im having trouble with has updated to 6.0.1 Where the phone that is working is still at 5.1.1
