I have the AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 with the latest Kangabean Google Edition rom installed. Most everything works great, except for PC connectivity. The first time the phone was never recognized by Windows at all. The phone saw that it was plugged in, but the computer couldn't see it. I tried uninstalling Kies and all Samsung drivers, rebooting, and reinstalling Kies. This worked a little bit as my computer now sees it, and Kies tries to connect but is stuck endlessly trying to connect. I searched all over the web last night and tried many different things, but this is as far as I got. Any advice?
I am also using the USB cable that came with my phone and a USB port on the back of my computer.
Thanks!

Hello everybody,
last friday I plugged in my Galaxy S4 (i9500, rooted) with my usb cable to my PC, everything was fine. I shut off my computer, went on a holiday for weekend, used the cable with my laptop and my friends' laptops everything was fine. Now I came back home, opened my PC, plugged in my phone, it only charges! I cannot access to my files and stuff via neither My Computer or Kies. It only charges.
My computer uses Windows 7 x64, everything up to date, tried to uninstall Kies, Samsung USB driver, none worked. I tried using diffrent cables, usb ports too. Diffrent computers, no problem. My Pc, only charges
The thing is when I look into my pc's device manager it says "PCI Input Device". When I first plugged in today and it didn't worked it said "Android Composite ADB Interface"
Both had yellow exclamation mark on their symbols. I tried removing them, restarting pc and swiching users, none helped.
Any Ideas?
Thanks..
Problem solved
I removed all the drivers, put my device to download mode and plugged in, worked very well.....
hello! i was searching through the internet and I can't seem to find a definite answer for this type of problem.
my galaxy s4 can't seem to have a stable connection with my PC. it works
so far what I've done
-plugged it directly to the motherboard usb port
-used samsung original cable
-install all USB drivers (installer, kies)
-uninstall, reinstalled drivers but no avail
-used different cables. ( the original cable doesnt seem to work. whenever i plug my device, it only charges. but there is no notificcation that tells me the phone and PC are connected to something) and then i used a motorola cable and the phone and PC seem to detect each other. but only in one of the motherboard ports.
and also, if ever the PC detects my phone, the "connect/disconnect" loop appears... the "connect/disconnect" loop DISAPPEARS when i plugged the phone to a specific port. BUT, it cant seem to have a stable connection. whenever i transfer a large file, lets say a movie. it copies the file half way then the phone suddenly disconnects then reconnects by itself automatically like nothing happened. I couldn't also flash firmwares cuz whenever odin tries to push the files into my phone, suddenly odin will stop and says "disconnected"..... by the way, my PC's usb ports are OK. it can detect and transfer large files from my brother's optimus G and my sister's motorola droid with no problem. I have used this PC for flashing my previous phones with no problem (SGS2, SGS3, SGS1, Gnex, NOTE2, SGmini, china tablets). Yes i do change phone frequently.
can someone please enlighten me on this..and oh! by the way, I tried flashing and transferring files from my gf's laptop and there seem to be no problem at all... I even used the original samsung cable which doesn't work on my PC at home. I would really like to flash my s4 with the latest 4.3 jellybean, and my gf is back in her home town for the sem break so I can't use her laptop for now cuz she has brought it with her..
I would really any comments and insights will be highly appreciated. thank you!

Your phone has a defective usb port, replace it if it has warranty

not really. because it works with my gf's laptop no problem. but thanks for your reply.,
please help
The hint's in your 2nd last post. There's obviously something PC-side going on; your PC - probably with the USB ports, if it works on your GF's PC. Think about it, that's logic. If it was phone-side, it wouldn't work with any PC.
Fix
First connect ur phone to the pc whit the original white cable
them in ur S4 prees the notification of the usb is connected
Enjoy
If u just connect the phone it will only charge. U have to touch the notification.
Hey guys,
Just recently, my PC and any other PC Ive tried for that matter will not recognize my Note 3. I had Windows 7 and it worked fine for months, then just the other day it came up on the bottom as USB Device Not Recognized, and no matter what I do it will not do so. Yesterday, I upgraded to Windows 8.1 and still the same result. I have installed Kies 3, uninstalled and resintalled Samsung drivers and still nothing. I am running a custom rom in the stock slot using Safestrap...is it possible that that might have messed up something? Even when the cord is plugged into the PC, the phone doesnt come up with anything notification that it's plugged in, but it does say it is charging. If any of you have any tips or something please help because I am at my wits end.
Thanks
Have you tried with another cord?
Computer doesn't see device... Device doesn't detect plug in... Sounds like a bad USB cord

Yes, actually I have and still nothing...forgot to mention that in the original post.
It's a strange problem which leads me to believe that something has gone wrong in the phone, or that I caused something to go wrong by flashing a rom or three, since it did work previously. Unfortunately, I'm at status: Custom, although my Knox is 0x0.

Yes, this shows as disabled. What should this be?
Can't help you solve your problem, but last night I had a hiccup where I plugged my (17 day old) N3 into my computer in a USB2 port and ... nothing at all. (As if it were electrically disconnected - no "unknown devices" showing)
Tried it in a different USB2 port, and ... nothing.
Tried in in a USB 3.0 port - same computer, same OEM cord - and everything was fine. As far as I knew, nothing had changed on either end of things, although the previous evening I had used a different OTG cable for a USB key with the phone, and I had also had a automatic update of the Samsung Push Service on the phone. Nothing had been plugged into the PC's usb ports since it's prior cold boot. (Win 7 x64 Pro).
This morning (both PC and phone have been rebooted), everything is back to normal - both on the phone and the PC. Both the USB2 and USB3 ports all seem fine.
Ugh. Makes me nervous - brand new hardware.
Boot into Odin mode THEN plug the device in, let windows find the drivers for it then once that's done, reboot the phone regularly and see if it works then. It appears to be an issue with most to ALL Samsung devices, but this worked for my wife's galaxy S3 when the computer wouldn't recognize it and the phone didn't detect a PC connection.

Did you fix this problem?
Thank you! Worked perfectly!
I have the same problem, do you have any solutions ? Thanks.
I too have been struggling with this problem. The is no USB symbol in the notifications area on my phone whether I plug into to my computer at work (Win7) or at home (Win7), using a usb3 cable or a usb2 cable. Its as if there was a setting on my phone that allows recognition when plugged into a computer that has been turned off.Is there such a setting? I would love some help on this as well. Thanks in advance! I am rooted with towel root and have had no problems until last week. When I look in the device manager on my computer it shows :
SAMSUNG Android Phone
SAMSUNG Android ADB interface
I tried uninstalling the above and then plugging my phone back in and it re-installs the same driver shown above.
For what it is worth here are the drivers for SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface:
c:\windows\system32\DRIVERS\winusbsys
c:\windows\system32\WdfCoinstaller01007.dll
c:\windows\system32\WinUSBCoinstaller.dll
Should I be using different drivers ? Thanks|!
please help!
any solution yet? i have same problem, no usb detection and camera wont work i want to flash stock rom whit odin but i cant get the computer to recognize my phone...
I was able to fix the usb recognition problem. i had to do a factory restore. I lost root but gained usb recognition AND the Over the Air update to 4.4.4 and patiently awaiting the update to 5.0 hopefully this month!
Hi all,
I had just got my s5 back from a screen repair by samsung two days ago and when i connected my phone to my computer (with the usb 3.0 cable the phone came with), the computer installed all the drivers and what not but my s5 wouldnt say "USB installer connected"(or something along the lines of that like it usually did). The computer wont show my phone either. This makes it virtually impossible to transfer files between my phone and computer. Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and ive also tried using samsing kies but it tells me that my s5 isnt compatible (even though it should be). Ive tried using a different usb cable and the same thing happens. What should i do?

Hello!
I just purchased a Note 4 yesterday, but upon plugging into my Windows 8 computer, I keep getting Device not recognized. My computer was already acting up so I decided now was a good time to format the computer.
After re-installing all of my system drivers and Kies, I still get the same issue. What am I doing wrong?
Update:I am testing between two different cables, a known good is the brand new out of box USB cable. I have uninstalled Kies, and downloaded the Samsung phone drivers, restarted my computer and phone, no connection.
I have installed the Universal ADB drivers, restarted, no connection
I have enabled USB debugging on the phone, restarted the phone, and computer, nothing.
I have factory reset my phone, still no good connection.
WHAT IS GOING ON?!
Update/ So after troubleshooting fire a good 2 hours I decided to factory reset the phone. I still was getting the issue. Another Samsung phone was working perfectly on my computer so I just exchanged devices
Glad you have it sorted out
