Problem connecting tab with usb - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i'm having a problem with the usb of this device its a sprint galaxy tab i brought it used. under menu / settings / wireless and network i dont see an options for usb and when i plug in the usb cord to the computer theres a red x on the battery, windows doesnt even prompt me to install drivers i'm lost on what to do next

Try to use a different usb cord. . . By the way. . . What rom are you using in your tab? Because it seems that BOCA ROM doesnt have usb setting

i'm using the stock sprint rom and the usb cord is brand new i brought it from the t-mobile store yesterday

also what would the cord have to do with no usb options showing up under wireless and networking

Use a different usb port, and try a different pc.

Under setting>>wireless & network>>usb setting which do you choose? This option is important as your usb cord function depend on the selection of usb option. If you choose kies samsung, make sure you have the software install on your PC. If mass storage, make sure your have SD card inside and its not corrupted.
The battery with the x red cross i think is normal each time you connect it to PC. If you connect it to AC plug, then the x cross will not show.

Ok there is a similar post on this. Plug tablet in and charge it. While tablet is charging unplug your pc and then reboot it up to reset the usb ports. take your tablet and connect usb cable to pc. Ensure you have the samsung usb drivers loaded. Put your tablet in download mode and using odin try reflashing. You can try this if you don't have a second pc.

[Q] Cant connect to Computer

All was well, I could connect to my computer and go back and forth between ROMs but when I updated to Froyo, They phone could not connect to the computer, it will charge but wont copy files from sd card. USB debugging is on and I dont need the drivers because I am on mac, and it worked before, I cant even go back to stock, because the pc either, cannot find the phone. I have no warrenty because I bought it from Ebay, Help?
Assuming that you have the USB settings set to "Mass Storage":
After you connect it to the computer, you need to pull down the notification bar and select "Select to copy files to/from your computer", then follow the directions from there.
I know that!! Lol i do it all the time. It jusy doesnt work

are you using the same usb cable? some cheap cables are for charging only (like my bluetooth headset cable)
I tried my backflip cable

Which USB port are you connected to? Mine was flaky using the front USB ports on my computer. I moved my cable to the back of the computer and connected to a port directly off the MB. Since then, I haven't had a single problem. Just something to consider.

N7000 is picky on USB ports ?

Hey guys,
My USB tethering has stopped working, and only one of 3 USB actually even detects a USB connection... Any ideas why? for your info :
- It used to work fine on all ports
- I tested on both ubuntu and windows (without and without drivers)
- I tested with and without USB debugging enabled
- Mass Storage doesn't come up either, it literally does not detect anything connected to those USB ports. However, it still charges the phone.
But then, if I connect the phone to the third USB port, all is detected, but USB tethering still doesn't work? It fails to connect. Once again, I tried :
- windows and ubuntu
- with and without USB debugging
- Mass Storage does actually work.
Presumably something is wrong with my laptop USB ports, but this is weird, they work for all other peripherals... Any ideas?
Thanks !
Check USB connection on other pc

Mines exactly the same, only works consistently out of the mobo ports (rear ones).

Dont use usb hubs or cable extensions, use main ports as rear ports, uninstall kies or old drivers then install the new standalone driver from dr.ketan thread,try another pc

Well, I had the opportunity to try another PC, and everything worked fine. I guess my laptop just has very poor USB connections... And this is without extensions or hubs of any kind !
Thanks all for the suggestions.

[Q] Usb storage not working

I have an samsung galaxy mini s5570 with cm7 .
This has started happening from yesterday . When I connect my phone to the computer , it charges but the usb mass storage doesn't comes up . Instead a message pops up on my pc saying that " Windows can't recognize the usb device " .
One more thing -
The coating of my usb wire has come out a bit in the middle and I can see the red and green wires in between . But as my phone is charging when connected to the pc I doubt that is going to be an problem , right ?
So what do you guys think is wrong with my cell or my pc ?
Perhaps it's the wire, being able to charge doesn't necessarily mean that u can transfer data. Try to use another wire, or another usb port. Also check that u have the Samsung usb driver installed in your computer. It should not be a problem with your phone.

Download dual mount sd from market and use the widget if there isn't a hardware problem then it will work for sure.

Problem solved : I bought another usb cable and then it worked like a charm

Hardware drivers - Where is the USB driver inside the phone?

I have been battling an issue with my HTC One when I use a USB cable for data transfers. PC will recognize phone for two seconds when plugged in and starts charging but immediately stops and I get the "USB host cable is plugged in - Unable to charge the device" message as if I had plugged in an OTG cable. I have the same issue when plugging into my car stereo for music playback so the issue is not PC drivers, but I did try different drivers and still nothing.
Does this sound like the usb hardware drivers are screwed up inside the Android OS? Any way I can pull the drivers from another ROM and replace the ones in my phone? Phone charges fine when plugged into the wall charger. Any ideas?
Did you try a different usb cable?

I did. I have five different ones. Two from HTC phones, Two from Samsung phones and one generic.

Is the cable that came with my Moto X a charge only?

So I just got my bootloader unlocked today. I went home this evening to plug my phone into my computer and start installing the custom recovery, only to find that both computers in my house won't recognize the phone when it's plugged in. To my dismay, no USB icon showed up in the status bar, and it just said "Charging". No notification in Windows (or the Ubuntu computer either). Either my cable has gone bad and only charges, or the original cable doesn't transfer data. I've also checked to make sure that Media Device (MTP) is checked. Funny thing was I was using the cable from my OG Droid at work today to charge my phone on the work computer. I know the USB Debugging icon had shown up so I know it was working properly, it won't show up on my computers at home.
Can anyone confirm with me that the original cable is USB only?
No, the original cable should do both. Try another cable though, or use port on the pc. Otherwise it's your drivers on the pc.
You have USB debugging checked in developer options? You have drivers installed on your computer? Making sure to use the USB port on the back of the computer, not the front?
