[Q] Problem: No connection between PC and Galaxy S - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
My Galaxy S is running on Darkys Rom v10.1 and its Dark Kernel. I never had problems with this but now I can't get a connection to my PC. When I plug it in it just loads the battery and my PC says that it can't detect the USB-gadget. There's not even a notification on my phone saying I have a connection to the PC.
I already re-installed Kies and the USB drivers a hundred times and even made a full factory reset on my phone but it's still not working.
Can anyone help?
Best regards beias

try installing drivers from here http://download2us.softpedia.com/dl...93/drivers/others/usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip
it is for x64, there you can also find for x86, worked for me just fine.

these are the drivers I installed again and again and again.. they always worked but there's still the error

have you knocked or dropped it recently?
could be a loose connection to your phone micro usb port, I am in a very similar situation and I'm cracking mine open tonight to check the insides.
Also could be the cable if you're not getting any notifications on your pc of it connecting, would try different cables too.

[Q] PC Internet - USB Reconnect after random time :(

I seem to be having a very annoying problem with my Galaxy S when i attempt to use it as "PC Internet" when i plug it in via USB Port.
I plug it in via USB and select PC Internet but after random times its as if i unplugged it and re plugged it back in. I hear the windows sound that you get when you unplug a USB device. So basically for some reason i cannot seem to maintain a connection through USB. Sometimes it works for 10 minutes, sometimes it works for 1 minute ect.
I have tried to set my usb's power save feature off and still getting an issue with it. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers to no success.
Not sure if this could be the problem but im running windows 7 64 bit. Hoping that its not a 64bit related issue.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
thx.
forgot to mention im running the stock 2.1 update 1 on the bell version of the phone.

[Q] Device not recognized?

I'm running Winxp SP3, Captivate with Cog2.8b3
I had installed the USB drivers for 32bit provided on these forums (before connecting my phone), then connected my phone and had windows throw up the "usb device not recognized" message. There's no android/samsung/etc. listing under the device manager.
Anybody else had this problem, or know how to fix it?
I had similar issues and reinstalled and uninstalled everything multiple times and that didnt fix anything. My suggestion would be to try a new USB cable or each of your USB ports.
My cable that came with my captivate was actually bad. It would charge the phone and even attempt to register with Windows by eventually fail with the same error you listed above.

I've tried each of my ports; the cable had worked previously, fairly recently, but I have a new windows install. I'll try a new one when I get back from school.
Try removing all bits of the USB Driver after un-installing them.. then try re-installing. XP is a pita with USB devices sometimes. Well windows in general for that matter.

[Q] Can not connect to my PC

It has just stop working when a plug in my usb to my pc i do not get "Turn on USB storage" on my phone. No usb icon also. The computer does not recognize the phone.
I have try different cables, computers and OS. Also did a factory resat and putt on debuging mode on and off. Also multiple restarts with no luck. I use stock rom.
Are my phone broken?
It's probably the usb ports though you have tried with other computers ;/
or the micro-usb port of your device

I had the same problem and I believe it is a phone issue. I tried reinstalling drivers, different USB ports on different machines, factory resets, different cables etc. At times when plugged in the phone would suddenly wake up and acknowledge the USB connection while at others it just started charging when plugged in to USB.
What confirms that this is a phone problem rather than a PC problem is that when I connect it to my office workstation that runs on Sun Solaris, it behaves pretty much the same, acknowledging the connection randomly. My HTC Magic on the other hand always connected to both home PCs and office workstation without any issues every time.
Finally I have returned my handset and asked for a replacement.

I have returned the phone to the store. I will have to wait two weeks if they fix the problem. But thanks away

Good luck. It's a pity though as otherwise my handset worked perfectly with no reboots lags etc. I hope the replacement comes in soon and is bug free too.
I have the same issue with my macbook. Since yesterday my o2x isn't recognized by my mac.
I know it is not the usb cable, or the (micro)usb port, because when i plug the phone in at night my alarm clock on the o2x fires up (as it should).
So a connection is made, it just doesn't show "turn on usb storage" on my o2x. And i cannot understand why.
I am on the 0606 baseband, with the new FR19 ROM from Paul O'brien's Modaco (which is excellent btw).
If anyone has a solution, please let me kno
I have the same problem with my phone under modaco fr19, baseband + ril 606.
My pc is under windows vista and the drivers are installed correctly.
Awala
Update:
I received a replacement handset which was V10D 20110405 out of the box. No issues with USB connection.
Just out of interest, did any of you leave the phone connected to USB for a long time before it started failing? I used to leave it charging via USB all day at work so just wondering if there is a connection...
Update:
I earlier stated that my O2X wouldn't connect to my macbook. Yesterday I connected the O2X while on the Windows Vista partition of my mac, and it connected without any problem. After that, rebooted to Mac OSX partition, and no problem there. So I am a bit puzzeled about why, but it seems to work again.
In reaction to mparack's question, i sometimes let it load overnight via usb cable. But not a lot. I do not think that was the cause. I thought it was caused by flashing the 0606 baseband, but now I do not think that was the culprit.
Got back my phone from Telia on Wednesday. Everything worked fine. And I upgraded the phone using the LG update (Basbandversion: 1035.21_20110622) LGE version LGP990-V10c). After that the same problem! It feels like it's a bug in the software. Then they have changed the mainborad and it sounds unlikely that the new one is defective to.Goning back to Telia on Monday if they know about a bug or if you can get a new phone.
Those of you who have had the same problem what version do you have? Can I downgrade phone in anyway?

[Q] can't connect my tab with Kies

Hi everybody, my problem is simple and dumb... i bought a Gtab 8.9 for Christmas, it's working fine and i'm very satisfied, but i'm stuck with the default firmware, honeycomb 3.1, and sometimes it kinda freezes, and i wanted to try a newer, 3.2 or maybe ICS firmware... and before flashing some mod i would like to see if there's any available from kies... well, it's been more than a month and i can't seem to be able to properly connect it to my pc/laptop with kies and the usb cable... i tried re-installing several times kies, did the connection error/unplug/uninstall drivers/reinstall driver stuff countless times on both desktop and laptop, but kies always ends up saying "device error-unplug" or "device error-reboot"... kies wireless works fine but i can't search for new firmwares, the cable works fine and i can charge and/or transfer files in a breeze... i looked for some usb settings on the tab but found nothing... what am i missing? every time i plug the tab it goes straight on autoplay, and kies won't recognize it... if i turn it off and plug it kies doesn't find it either, nothing changes.... can anyone help?

I don't remember too well, but have you checked the USB settings at the (I think) Applications section at Settings? Anyways, Kies...well, I don't expect too much from it reliability-wise. Sometimes it bricks tabs when updating (already happened in this forum). If it still doesn't work, hey, see it as a good sign. Something preventing you dealing with that thing!

[Q] USB connection problem

Hello,
I'm more convinced that it's drivers problem, but my SIII Mini is giving no signals about connecting to PC while using USB cable, except it's just charging.
USB Debugging is obviously on.
Tried factory reset and installing few "versions" of Samsung usb drivers.
Don't have 2nd PC, nor 2nd cable, but cable was working with another phone (not samsung though).
I'm using Win7 x64.
Odin doesn't see anything either.
There's no SD card in my phone.
Rooting through app doesn't work.
Wifi connections (Kies/Ftp) does work, but i need that to be able to run/debug apps (i'd want to start to develop in Android) - if there was a chance to connect phone without using USB cable to Android Studio/Eclipse, then i could skip USB connection and use that instead. Emulators can't do all the jobs and are running slow on my PC + real phone means i can exactly know how app will work in the real usage.
Last times at reinstalling there was no such a thing, but when last time i've tried to connect my phone to pc and installed drivers few weeks ago, after installation finish, windows was showing in it's "drivers installation processes" that drivers installation failed, because "couldn't find the driver" (if i can remember, but that's what it said more or less).
Traditional question: have you an idea, what could be going wrong here? If need more informations, i can deliver.
