[Q] PC not recognizing USB?

Anyone else having problems with your PC not recognizing the phone? Even after selecting mass storage in the usb settings, when i plug the phone in to the PC the little usb notification in the notification isn't showing up.

Have you installed the Samsung drivers?

yeah i've tried installing the drivers. the phone isn't even putting the usb icon in the notification tray anymore. just starts charging and that's it. i go to usb settings/mass storage and nothing. any ideas?

I got that too, I just put the usb cable in another usb port on my computer and tadaaaa: problem fixed

I had this issue and read in a forum (not sure where wish I did to give credit) where u need to format your internal SD memory (the built in 16 gig SD) I did that and it started to work again.

How about Menu > settings > applications > usb settings > ask on connection.....

I had/have this problem sometimes too. choosing "ask on connection" usually works. I find that if you select anything other than "mass storage" then exit out, then go back in and choose mass storage, it works again.
Usually only have to do it once after a factory reset or on a new phone

I find my connection to be hit or miss. The pc picks up the drivers fine but doesn't mount the phone as a drive. Kies is a pain to get going too. I read on here that you need .net framework 4 and also no file names over 16 characters, and without kies I think you need to be in debug mode on application settings. I still need to try the short file names and see if it improve it but I never really hook up to a pc anyway, my father has win 7 and I have kies on his computer. I have linux mint 9 on my own so I rarely get to fitz with it on a windows machine.

I'm having this problem, can't get usb debugging mode to turn off. It immediately turns on when I turn it off. It's as the just says, "yeah, you can uncheck it, but I'm gonna leave it on."

[Q] Why can't I use the USB storage on my phone ?

I can't access the USB storage on my phone. Nothing works. 2.2 Froyo.
I need to transfer some files off it (music) to my desktop but I can't access it --- anyone know why ?

With a post count like yours you'd probably know better but did you put it into USB Debugging mode by any chance? Did you pull down the status bar and press on the USB connection thing?
Try restarting your computer, it happens me to sometimes also.

How long ago did it last work?
Did you try plugging it into a different PC?
Do you see the USB connect button once you plug the USB?
Until you get to the bottom of it, as a workaround you can change the USB mode to Kies and transfer files.

How to properly disconnect Galaxy Note from PC usb connection?

When I disconnect from Kies, the device still appears in my My Computer as a storage device. I cannot seem to find a way to properly disconnect. (your device is not safe to remove....etc...)
Is there a way to disconnect just like with USB's to ensure safe disconnection?
Is it ok to just disconnect even if the Galaxy Note still appears in My COMPUTER as a storage device?
Is it just me having this problem?

Slide down your notification and Click on the USB Connection and then Click Disconnect. How did you manage to connect in the first place?

Just connected the Note to the PC using the cable that came with the device.
If I slide down the notification area there is no option that says DISCONNECT. It only says that USB connection on going. There is no DISCONNECT option on the device or on the PC itself.
By the way, this is the stock ROM from Samsung, touchwiz. No rooting has been done.
Any idea guys?
I could disconnect through Kies, but even after doing that, the device still appears in My Computer as a storage device.

Click on the USB Connection and then you will have the option to Disconnect

My windows PC does not have a USB connection icon when the Note is connected to it unlike when a USB is connected to it.
Am I the only one experiencing this? Is this a Note thing or a PC thing? or a software/android thing?

Actually,there is no such option ...

If you connect with MTP protocol (default setting), you don't need to do anything before unplugging.
If you connect through USB protocol (you would have to set it up on the phone beforehand), then the usb icon will be there and you should eject from the PC then pull down notification bar to stop the usb connection before unplugging.

Help rooting AT&T note i717

I have issues when using DOOM to root my phone.
First off, to correctly connect the phone to the computer you have to go to "WIRELESS >>> USB >>> CONNECT TO PC. Now, if you have already checked the box to enable USB DEBUGGING another box comes up and says that you have to DISABLE usb debugging in order to use the "connect to PC" function. how the hell do you get around that? even when you connect to PC you get MTP initilization in the notification bar. When you pull down and click on it, it simply shuts the bar....... you cannot select anything.
Any ideas anybody?

Help me with Samsung Galaxy Mini II

Hello.
Short story: my phone was a little wet and i have some issues with it, mostly i want to get a mass storage to get working. (cant root)
Basically at first the phone didn't even want to charge, when i connected it to the PC windows was giving me an error that the device cannot be recognized, and couldn't install the drivers. (i had Kies installed)
I dried it completely, now the phone turns on without any problem, when i connect it to the pc the phone is recognizing connection (i hear sound + the button backlights are firing up for a sec)
Homever, windows is not detecting any USB device at all, and in about phone/info it says the phone is connected to the AC instead of USB.
When i connect it with USB there is no dropdown in notification to choose from charging, storage etc.
There is also manual usb storage mounting under settings/communication/usb settings , when i'm trying to mount here it just says to connect the phone with usb cable (not detecting connection, homever the backlight + sound is here after connecting, and it's charging)
I tried connecting it with usb debugging on/off even tried to fiddle with in service menu (*#7284#) but nothing.
And since i cannot get the usb storage working basically i cannot flash anything or root it.
Also the USB cable is not a Samsung but an HTC one, could this be a problem? (people in different thread said those cables are the same so it shouldnt be a problem, same amperage, same stick etc.)
Even tried to install MountUSB Widget from market, but it doesn't work when im trying to start the app it's force closing, when i make widget on desktop and press it the phone just vibrate for 1 sec and nothing happens.
When i connect phone with Kies AIR and it works, i mean it shows the storage information, also recognize the phone model correctly, how much free space i have on internal and on SD card but i cannot click "show in explorer" it's greyed out.
Any experts out there could help me?
