[Q] Issue connecting Samsung Vibrant to PC

Hi All,
Can anyone help me in getting the issue resolved that I am facing.
Few days back all of a sudden my PC stopped detecting my Phone (Samsung Vibrant). I thought it might be an issue with my PC so I tried to connect the phone storage on some other PC, but the result are still the same.
I am also not getting any pop up notification on my phone to "Mount".
I can download anything to my phone via direct internet browsing but cannot transfer or upgrade my phone via my PC.
I checked all the setting and also restored my phone to Factory Default but still the issue persist.
Pleeeeeease guys can someone pleeeeease help!!!!!!!
Sorry to say this, but seems like a hardware problem. Did you tried with a different cable? Try Different port on the PC? What happens if you plug the phone to a wall charger?
Is the phone still on warranty? You can send it back to Tmo and get a "new" one.
Try a new cable.

Yes I tried different cable and also tried different port of PC but nothing happens. Also the other functions works as normal.
The phone charges when I connect to my wallcharger or PC. I often get a messag from my PC that the harware is detected but is not properly installed.
Any clues, also I cannot send it to TMO because I am not in states right now and TMO does not works here.
will flashing the ROM work?????
This has happened to me before. What usually works is to reboot the computer and then connect your phone to it. Wait for the connection error message. Then go into ur device manager and find the "unknown" USB device. Make sure u both uninstall and delete the "unknown" device. Unplug the phone. Reboot the computer again. And once its finished booting up plug connect your phone again.
Always works for me.

S7 Edge - USB Connection to PC Not Working

Hi all,
I am having trouble connecting my phone to the PC through USB. When I plug it in the PC doesn't do anything, no notifications or pop ups that a device has been connected. The phone itself just goes into charging mode, again with no sign of a USB connection. When I drag down the menu bar it just says charging with no options such as USB connection mode as you would expect. I have tried two different cables and a different PC and it's the same, nothing on the PC to indicate a connection and the phone just entering charging mode. A different Samsung phone (Galaxy S5) connects immediately with the same cable on the same PC, giving the notification and connection option on the phone. I have tried a hard reset/factory reset of the phone but have had no luck. The phone still fast charges as normal using the standard factory charger, so the port on the phone doesn't seem to have any issues that way, but I just can't get the USB to connect.
I bought the phone second hand just over a year ago, when I got it Knox had been triggered and it didn't work with my GearVR due to a software problem (it seems the previous owner was likely a tinkerer who installed a custom ROM). At this time I plugged the phone in and manually re-installed the Stock Samsung Software using Odin to reset the phone to default. Since this time I have used the phone with no issues, everything has run fine. I only realised when I used a friends S7 Edge that my software was out of date, it seems OTA updates don't work on this phone and it still has the software I installed. This led me to try plugging it in again and updating manually and I have only now found this issue with the USB. Do you think this is a hardware problem or possibly software? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

USB Tethering not working A2017G

Hello guys,
I bought a ZTE AXON 7 A2017G and wanted to use it as personal hotspot on my PC via USB. The interface MUI of this phone is not so good not intuitive and when I switch the USB Tethering supposed to do just that it's bringing a screen of how I want to connect by USB and not working to share the 4G connection to my PC. I tried all options to ‘only charge’ to ‘MTP’ etc. I use Windows 10 64bits, already installed the driver from the phone and I tried many solutions like changing the network adapter driver from device manager to RDNIS 6 or ZTE RDNIS ect. But it still doesn't work actually it does stuck the UI screens related to network when I connect the phone.
Anyone has a solution to make this work without rooting the phone? I still have a warranty so I don't want to root it while I still have it.
Thanks !

You don't lose the warranty automatically by unlocking. They have no way to know if you relocked it before sending it in (and even if you send it unlocked, there's an EU law that says that they have to prove that the software modification caused the problem). Broken screens aren't caused by LineageOS afaik...
Okay, back to the topic at hand: I have a Win10 x64 PC. I connected the USB cable to the PC, then to the phone, then went to the settings and enabled USB tethering. After a second the PC asked me if I wanted to connect to a new network. So there's definitely something wrong on your side.
After you hit tbe USB tethering option don't touch the connection options that appear (the MTP, PTP, install driver stuff), just leave them as-is

LG G6 - PC connection problem

i have an un-rooted LG G6, which was connecting to my PC just fine, so one day it gave me the message of blocked: moisture detected and from then on it refused to connect for data transfer or even charging, the same happened when plugged in to charge via its own charger, so i went the wireless charger route and it working fine. So anyway to connect again with MTP for simple fast data transfer, i don't want to remove each time my sd card and copy data and insert it again, it's way too much, come on LG, you can make better than that, give us an update and fix it.
Do you tried to clean the port with alcool?
