good day, can anyone help me or atleast point me in the right direction if galaxy note usb tethering works out of the box? i just tried mine but the windows 7 OS doesnt have the drivers,it was recognized as "samsung_android" but no drivers are installed.... im wondering if mine is broken... thanks...
ok, i know now, to answer my own question, i have to INSTALL FIRST "Kies" to be able to install the driver and make the USB tethering work, so its NOT working OUT OF THE BOX right away..... too bad, i thought i can use it as a modem without installing any driver/software... let this be a reference for future Q's / Info ... more power xda-devs
Hello XDA developers / forum users,
Finaly I've buyed myself a (very) nice phone: The Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 .
I'm really happy with it, but I've a smal problem with connecting my phone by USB to my Windows 7 64bit computer. I can't get it working.
Not with Kies, not with installing just the driver, nothing seems to help.
Hopefully someone overhere has had the same problem which has been solved already ......
I've searched your forum and also the internet for the solution and/or work arround, but couldn't find anything what helped.
I'm sorry when I've missed the topic on your forum, if so please post the link.
I hope someone can help me out with this isue,
Thanks in advance,
nldark

Thanks dr.ketan for your reaction,
Unfortunately it's still not working ....
By the install procedure it says:
USB Device Not Recognized
One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfuntioned, and windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
When I do this it will try to install again the driver, but it says that it has already the latest driver. Nothing helps, uninstall, reinstall.
In the device manager it shows up under Universal Serial Bus controllers as: Unknow device.
What else of suggestions do you have?
Any help would be apreciated .....
I had issues too. Sometimes it would take forever to find the driver and sometimes in errors out.
After you installed Kies. Go to device manager and find your Samsung device. Usually will have the yellow caution triangle next to it. Right click change drivers. Do not let Windows search. I don't know the exact wording off hand but you want to get to the point where windows will let you select from a list of devices. Scroll down to Samsung and select. That's what worked for me.
Hi there again,
With a samsung galaxy s, is connecting easy does it with my windows7 64bit computer.
So in my opinion it really has to do with the driver.
I have also tried to connect to a XP computer (with my note), what also works fine.
Does anyone have an idea?

Uninstall kies, Just reinstall isolated driver.
If you connecting device with Extension cable, remove it, N connect direct to USB slot of main board(back side)
once it recognise, you can reinstall kies.
I'm having problems with drivers too but with the bluetooth driver. My laptop can't recognize my Note's bluetooth. I was able to install the driver before but the problem came up when I reinstalled windows. I have windows 7 x64 home premium installed. I can send and receive files though after pairing, but I need to manually click the send and receive options in my computer unlike before where I can send and receive files automatically.
Thanks Dr. Ketan,
Since I put my USB cable at the backside from the computer it recognized my telephone
I tried this also with an USB extension cable, but as you said already this isn't working!
I tried also again the front USB connector, but with that connector my telephone won't still be recognized, so I buyed a long cable and will use from now on the back side USB connector!
Thanks again for the good work,
No Kies..... AAAAArrgghh
I read so many threads to disable USB debugging, reboot (with/without SIM/microSD), uninstalled all USB and BT from PC (W7-X64) uninstall/reinstall Kies, and still KIES gives me this message not to be able to connect to my N7000.
There was a little KIES update which started to ask for the right phone, but the N7000 was not even listed!. Took me an entire day!
What a nightmare! Al other phones I have used worked like a charm to connect and sync. Here I sit with a 500 Euro Galaxy Note which even does not have my contacts!
To add to this (it being an appropriate thread),
I have Note and win7/64 and connections was fine with Keis installed but not running i did not have any problems until last week, when suddenly i could not read the micro USB card nor copy files from the phone.
After much mucking about, deleting drivers and reloading etc, i stumbled across a thread somewhere that suggested unmounting then mounting the SD card.. this worked.
Note and windows 7 32-bit
it works perfectly with XP Pro (synching and note being recognized).
While I try to do the same thing with windows 7 (32 bit) I does not recognize the note (I have installed the driver from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997)
I have dismounted and mounted back the microsd card. Still not recognized. It only says that the driver has been installed, that the usb connection is working fine but the note is not listed in device manager nor I can synch anything.
Any ideas?

reinstall kies then use a different usb port i too use win 7x64
I have uninstalled Kies wifi and disabled kies air. Which should I reinstall ?
I completely abandoned KIES as it is a nightmare.... for a few euro I bought something called Mobisynapse, which seems to do the job alright, although it is rather simple in its functionality.
(Unbelievable Samsung making nice products but this crappy s/w.)

Along the way I've had to play about with several things quite often to get the connection working. See: this (the whole thread discusses this sort of connection issues); in this thread several of the problems I posted turned out to be related to USB ports and drivers.
Basically the variables are, as far as I can see:
- on the device side, USB debugging (see this, third bit) and neighbouring posts, and USB connection mode (see above)
- and on the pc side first the USB drivers, which you have already downloaded. I can make a connection using both Kies drivers (though I tend to agree with Eira007 here about their temperamentality) and Samsung USB drivers. BUT they won't co-exist. I have two separate (multiboot) instances of Windows 7 with Kies on one and Samsung drivers on the other! And then on the PC side finally the USB port you use. The drivers won't work with just any USB port, "kieskeurig" I would almost be tempted to say (sorry, Dutch joke). Most people (as in this thread) stress the importance of using a USB port at the back of the computer. However, in my rooting quest (see above) I actually discovered that connection via a USB port at the back of the computer didn't work but that connection via a USB hub did. So my experience is that with these four variables it's very much a case of "your mileage may vary" as they say, although the experts definitely advise no hub or USB extension cable and a rear side USB port. I would advise you to play around with the variables until it suddenly, magically works, keeping in mind that you can't install Kies and ordinary Samsung drivers together. Also, when removing one driver and installing the other you have to do a very thorough deinstall first (remove all related files and registry references) and a clean reinstall, otherwise Windows will just say, as mentioned in this thread that "the latest drivers are already installed". Incidentally, with Kies the Note appears in Windows explorer as one device, but with Samsung drivers the two SD cards appear as two separate drives. Finally I found that Kies takes a good while to respond and recognise the Note, and sometimes you have to go through the "Troubleshoot device connection" procedure several times before Kies suddenly wakes up and finds the device. (I'm not 100% certain about the label on the button as I'm not on my sync PC at the moment.)

Thanks a million for pointing me to this. The reason I went to such lengths to keep Kies was because I couldn't find anything else that would sync my contacts, tasks and schedule with Outlook over USB. I'm going to check this out!
Guys,
I don't understand why we have to install Kies. With my laptop at home, Kies is not installed, it recognizes the phone (internal memory, and microsd) without any issues.
At the office I have Win 7 (32 bit), this is more recent than XP Pro however it does not work.
The Note should be detected without any softs (Kies etc)...
As I said, you don't have to install Kies, but your system does need drivers for the device, be they from Kies or wherever. Windows includes its own versions of lots of drivers, and it may be that your installation of Windows XP has drivers it at least "thinks" are the right ones for the device, whereas your installation of Windows 7 doesn't. And this wouldn't be the first time Windows 7 failed to do something that XP did OK.
I called the Samsung Benelux support yesterday. They told me to turn 2 features on in control panel/applications: Microsoft.NET Framework 3.5.1 (check 2 boxes). Then install Kies and then plug the usb cable. Tried it several times, does not work...
What do you need to do?
Kies = drivers + software to sync Note with PC (among other things);
Just drivers = if you (say) want to connect to your Note with PC Odin.
Kies indeed requires .NET framework if I remember correctly. But if you just need to "see" your Note's file system from the PC (like with PC Odin) then installing Kies is probably more trouble than it's worth.
Mobisynapse, suggested by Eira007 several posts ago, will also have to install drivers to work. I haven't got it yet as I'm still trying to get the website to accept my credit card.
Sorry to ask but what is PC Odin ? What does it do ? I just need my Win 7 laptop to see my Note. Currently it does not. I have tried with/without Kies and Mobisynapse. Still does not work. XP Pro sees my Note without any softs.
Guys
Am at the end of my tether. Plugged my phone into my laptop (Windows 8) and all of a sudden, it doesn't recognise I9100. When I connect it, the window comes up saying 'This USB device not recognised'. I've tried installing the latest samsung drivers, changed cables and ports. Hard reset the I9100 and rebooted the laptop. Only thing which I think might have changed is that kies may have updated this morning?
Please help wise people....
try read here, there is some people facing same problem on win 8

I apologize if this isn't the proper forum.
I had a Samsung Galaxy S3 (The non LTE version) with T-Mobile. I have used the KIES 3 software to backup my phone.
I got a Samsung Galaxy S4 (the M919 model) with T-Mobile.
First, I connected the phone to my Win7 64-bit Home Edition pc with the same Galaxy S3 USB cable. It charges, and I hear the "boo-beep" and Windows 7 says it's installing device software and then comes back and says "unknown device" installation failed. In Device Mangler, it shows up under USB controllers, for some reason as "unknown device".
Okay, so I reinstalled the Samsung USB drivers.
No go
I used the actual S4 cable that came with the phone.
No go.
I have done the debug USB mode. No go.
I have verified that the MTP protocol is used (vs. Camera) and that it's set to MTP+ADB
I've switched back and forth to camera vs. MTP
Windows seems to detect the USB signal in that it knows when it's plugged in and when it's not, but it seems to IMMEDIATELY (and I mean very very fast, like under 1 second) "find" it always as a USB controller -> Unknown Device
So, I've tried my laptop. windows 7 64-bit. Same thing.
I had a spare pc around, so I even reformatted the drive and put a fresh copy of windows 7 on it. Same thing.
I've manually installed the Samsung drivers (without KIES). Still no go.
So I guess my questions:
1) Is there some other method to verify USB port is working properly? (like can you connect it to something else and have it work)? I'm assuming it's good since not only does it charge, but it at least is attempted to connect with Windows 7
2) I've got 2 more cables ordered --official Samsung ones--just in case
3) Can you root and unroot a phone without USB? It seems they all require USB drivers, and ODIN to work. I ended up having to manually backup the S3 via GCloud or whatever to get my stuff transferred over.
Oh, I also have an SD card in the phone.
Yes, I tried unmount it, and even removing it, rebooting, etc. Still no go.
I am trying to find an XP machine to see if that works any better.
thank you.
Have you tried the stuff from this thread?

Looks like they are wrestling with the same issue.

Technically you should be asking your question in the Q&A section of the tmobile galaxy s4.
Wrong forum. But sounds like the s4 guys can help
