Hello!
Am I the only one with a Galaxy Note 4 and a Windows 8.1 installation that doesn't let me use USB Tethering?
The whole computer just freezes up when I click the USB tethering option on the phone.
Works like a charm here, just tested it. Also on Windows 8.1. Did you try removing and reinstall the Samsung USB driver already?

Hi ,the problem is that when i connect the tab to the PC usb port(1.1 and 2.0),it does nothing.i have installed the mtp usb drivers and kies,sometimes the tablet is recognized under windows explorer as "portable device",but it's random and it's not predictable,it can be detected by windows 7 even after 30min or 1 hour.The tab is clockwork modded,actually i have flashed the latest stock rom honeycomb 3.2 build P7500XWKK4.I made a screenshot of the device manager when the tab was detected last time.I tried Debug USB enable/disable,doesn't work.Why this strange behaviour?
I also run x64 and do not experience any problems. You should try testing on a different computer to rule out any problems with the device.
I see,so i tried to connect the GT to my win7 notebook and also to my pc with a clean installation of win7 64 in a separate partition and still no luck.Meanwhile i'm using SwiFTP to transfer files to the device,hope to find a solution,maybe it's a broken/defective cable or 30pin usb port damaged
Yeah, seems like faulty usb port. Should send it back
Mine is Ok too, try to uninstall the Samsung Drivers, and Kies - if you have it installed - then reboot your computer all with the TAB disconnected from your PC.
try to perform a junk clean process for your PC.
Reinstall the Samsung Drivers, and TRY!
Win7 Pro x64 is my setup, working fine.
Don't quickly jump to the conclusion of "Defective USB Port" that's very Unlikely to occur on such pro equipment, me think!
solved
Guys I've changed the suspected faulty cable with a new one,now the TAB is recognised immediatly when plugged in,Odin works perfect now,it was hit'n'miss before.FINALLY!! now i can enjoy my teb(shame on you sammy)
Nice Bet that's a relieve
Yeah 2 weeks gettin' mad,i'm stressed now!i need some fun lol ,see you m8
I would just like to share an error I found when turning on USB tethering on Windows 8 using a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505.
Earlier, I was turning on USB Tethering for the first time. It worked fine for a few seconds while my computer was still in the process of installing the new drivers. The connection was all fine while it was running on the stock Microsoft Remote NDIS drivers.
But after it finished installing the Samsung NDIS drivers on my computer, USB Tethering suddenly stopped working and I couldn't find any local area network on my Network Connections folder.
I found out there was a problem with the drivers. I tried updating and it just said that the driver I'm using is the latest from Samsung.
If this happens to anyone else, go to Control Panel > Device Manager and look for the Samsung NDIS drivers. Right click then go to Properties > Drivers >and do a Driver rollback.
Using the stock Microsoft Remote NDIS driver seems to fix it.
I'm currently looking for a working driver from Samsung and if anyone has a link please post it. Thanks! :good:
New driver works

Hi guys, I am having trouble using the USB tether feature on my I9505, it is fully stock on 4.3 on build number MK8. All the USB drivers and Kies 3 are installed on my Windows 7 32bit laptop and i can see my device when i go to "Computer". I am using the original cable that came with my S4 and the USB tether is still not working, even the Wi-Fi hotspot is not working unless i use an app called "FoxFi". Does anyone have any idea how i can get the USB tether to work? I've tried using apps called "PdaNet+" and "EasyTether" and still nothing.
Year,..

How To Get Windows 8.1 To Recognise USB Mass Storage On Your Phone​
I have had the problem for ages that when I connected my Samsung Galaxy GT-S5360 into my Windows 8.1 PC nothing happened - Windows 8.1 simply refused to recognise the device - not even anything in device manager - nothing - nada
However it would recognise the phone if I set the phone to download mode - but I want to use my phone as mass storage
Well after months of trying I finally found a really stupid solution
Solution
Install the usb drivers for your phone as normal
connect the phone to pc via usb cable (nothing happens other then a few beeps as normal)
now plug in any usb dongle that you have already installed on your pc - like a usb wireless mouse dongle
suddenly windows detects the phone and you can now set your phone to mass storage from the phone status bar
Every time you want to connect your phone in mass storage just plug it in then plug in the other usb dongle after

no - read the thread fully - at no point do I mention odin
you just need to plug your phone in then plug in any other usb dongle and the option to connect to mass storage will appear in the phones status bar
You mean connect my Galaxy Y with Windows 8.1 first, and then what's the USB dongle(is this like flash drive, wired mouse or something?) will detect it in phone status bar?

Hello!
I'd really like to use SideSync 3 from Samsung with my Note 4, because I work on my computer alot and it would be very handy to operate my phone via comp.
I had it set up on my ex personal PC via USB, but I can't get it to work on my ASUS laptop.
Problem: I install SideSync 3 from http://www.samsung.com/us/sidesync/ and after I start the program nothing happens. It's like it freezes on opening and doesn't start. I was looking in the running processes but can't find any clue that is actualy running nor anything. I tried running as admin, tried system compatibility with win 8, 7, xp, dpi changes, admin rights... nothing works.
Any idea?
I'd be really happy if someone helped me out! =)
Sorry this won't help much. But it's working fine on WiFi. 8.1 Windows. Check you have latest version from Samsung on your note

Same problem here on Asus laptop with Windows 8.1
Same problem here.
Any ideas?
hi ,
i noticed that you are trying to get SideSync 3 it to work on Win 8.1 (PC /USB .)
However ,i have Acer laptop Win 8 ( have not updated laptop to Win 8.1 ) SideSync 3 works fine. (No freezes or nothing, smooth, no problems at all )
Note 4 / USB connected .
Maybe you can " read " something into why it works on Win 8, since you " tried system compatibility with win 8" ?
Good luck
I have same problem. I tried on 3 different computers (Win 10, Win 8.1 and Win 7). To my suprise I can't run this app on any computer. It just will not start - at least it seams so. I also tried different compability modes and run it as administrator, but no success (it's same experience as miHah).
This is not a problem of phone (I use S6 Edge) - the phone is recognized when connected by USB (and I can browse/edit content on phone from pc). It just wont work with SideSync. BTW: I tried with SideSync version 3 and 4. Same results - doesnt run.
I have similar problem. I am unable to install samsung sidesync because it freezes my Windows 10 pc while installing samsung usb drivers for mobile devices. I am also unable to uninstall samsung usb drivers. Everytime I forced to reset my pc. Any ideas?
I have same issues and very confused
Admin rights requested on startup
At any time when I reboot, as Sidesync is started during boot sequence, when I login in, the Admin rights autorisation opened as I am not admin by default.
Any clue or advice for this ?
Thanks
jp
Same here
Do you guys also have keis 3 installed? I was able to start sidesync. I hadn't had any devices linked yet but I installed keis 3 and now it is doing the same (not even starting). I noticed when I downloaded sidesync from the Samsung website, it notified me I needed to update keis 3 and uninstalled it when I accepted the update. I wonder if it has something to do with both programs being installed or if you also need sidesync source on the computer as well. BTW I'm running acer win 7.
