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.

Hello,
Here's a strange question that hopefully someone will know...
I want to charge my phone by USB, but I want to do that while using 3G. Everytime I plug in the USB cable it immediately disables 3G and tries to connect using my computer's internet connection (which is not what I want to do)... I have tried uninstalling ActiveSync to avoid this, but then it doesn't really charge... the orange light turns on for about a minute, then shuts off and it starts draining again.
Any ideas? Is there a setting I can change? Or is there a different driver I should use?
Thanks in advance!
Open Activesync and under 'Connection settings' enable 'Allow wireless connection on the device while connected to the desktop'
Thanks for the tip. Strangely, though, I've done that and am still having the same problem. It doesn't connect to 3G while I'm connected by USB.
Is your unit an AT&T 'Tilt" by any chance??
Yep, the Tilt.

OK, that means any info (fom the rest of the world HTC) probably won't work on your 'Tilt'.
we really need to clarify these ROM diferences!
Hang on guy, this forum is here to sort it!!!
If you don't need to use activesync, you could just disable the connection. Just right-click on activesync on the system tray, and click Connection Settings, and just untick the 'Allow USB connections' option. Then just enable it again when you need to use it.
Or just do what i do, plug the usb in just far enough to give the phone power, but not far enough in to make the computer detect it.
One simple thing... Have you tried using your phone whilst connected to the supplied charger?
You won't have any USB connected internet then!!!
I don't know about 3G but my O2 Steller with Voda sim in still shows an HSDPA connection when charging or/and connected via activesync.

usb debugging
go to menu/settings/applications/development on phone then put a checked mark in the box for usb debugging. when you connect to your computer your phone will beep letting you know it has been connected to a usb source. use pull down screen touch the usb connected message and then touch the connect usb storage button. the little green guy turns orange and now your phone will show up on your computer as an extra drive. from here you can just drag and drop files to the phones directory just like a usb pen drive. i believe this is what you where asking about. hope it helps.
note: first time connecting your computer it will probably install a new device driver and also if you are using Kies you need to turn off debugging before Kies can see the phone.
First off, makes sure you install latest version of Samsung Kies, which includes USB driver for the Note.
Also there is setting to connect mass storage mode manually: Settings -> Wireless and network -> USB utilities. But it seems to be the same as just choosing to connect from the notification bar and wants you to disable debugging.

I am facing similar issue, Windows7-32 bit, when connect SGN via USB (MTP) for firmware upgrade but not sure about 'Kies Mode', few other people got firmware upgraded successfully so i think it's something else. see this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318734&page=59.
In the notifications bar at the top of your screen. You will see a usb symbol in that bar. 3) Use your finger and pull down the bar and then tap the usb symbol. There you will see the option to chang it from MTP mode to any other mode option it has.
I hope this helps.

I'm on the latest update (8.1.0 may security) and I'm trying to connect my 7 plus to my PC, but nothing happens. The PC doesn't install any drivers and my phone isn't showing up in devices. I'm not getting the notification I'm supposed to get on my phone either, the phone is charging though. I have tried to connect to different PC:s as well.
Does anyone else have this problem?
@Floyd
Have you enabled developer mode and set USB debugging to on? Otherwise drivers or not the PC will not communicate with the Nokia.

When the phone is plugged into PC make sure
that on the status bar it is not showing charging on USB but MTP (file transfer) other than that it must be driver related.

As Stransky said, did you enable File transfer or MTP from notification bar on the phone?
You won't get notifications on PC if USB is set for charging only.

Exactly same problem here, my Nokia 7 Plus only says charching and I don't get a notifiaction. My PC also doesn't react.
Have you found any solution yet?
Unplug the cable. Enable developer options, then find "default USB configuration" and change it to mtp. Replug the cable

since it doesn't even recognize that the device was connected to the pc, it was a guess. you can also try to plug it into a different USB port. for me, it did recognize the connection itself but it did not install the MTP driver properly. i just manually installed it from here: c:\Windows\INF\wpdmtp.inf (right click and install)
Going to settings -> System -> about phone, and then find the 'Build number' option, several click it until system ask for password to enable developer mode. After done this, return to settings -> System, find the 'Developer options' and click it, and enable the 'USB debugging' option. Now using the command 'adb devices' will show our phones.
Well I had same issue with Nokia 6.1 plus running 8.1.0 but I was using 3rd party cable which din't support data transfer except charging phone. So I used OEM Foxconn original charging cable and it quickly detect my phone and installed driver itself. try changing cable and turn on USB Debugging if needed.
Is this how you solved it bro, doesn't seem to be working for my phone?
Try a different cable. I had the same issue now and the problem was the cable I was using wasn't fit for data transfer. When I tried a cable which came with the phone it worked.
With the old cable I tried all the suggestions and nothing worked. I would connect the phone to my PC and it would only charge but no option to choose USB mode (file transfer).
Tried another cable and the USB mode option came up straight away. Hope it helps someone
Hi, My phone is showing these symptoms :
If I connect it using USB cable, no USB icon shows up in status bar, PC does not recognize any device connected to it(with or without driver you should be able to see a USB device connected to it) also it wont even charge!
Phone charges fine with charger
If I turn off phone and connect it to PC it will start to charge
Holding volume up and connecting to charger will result in LED turn blue and a black screen but still no USB device shows up in PC for fastboot
If I go into USB Preferences and connect the USB to PC everything is grayed out except enabling charge connected device
what I've tried :
Use different cable
Use different PC
Use different OS(windows10/Linux)
Reboot phone
Removing SD card and SIM card
Factory reset phone
Clean USB port
My phone is using latest Android pie Build 52.0.A.8.14, developer mode and USB debugging is also enabled.
I would appreciate if you let me know how to resolve this If you think it's not a hardware issue
Is there any way to install TWRP without having USB connection to the phone ?

If you don't rely on unlocking, usb data transfer, etc it is fine
I know this is a old thread, but
I have a similar issue, I need this phone for debugging purpose, and I "fixed" it by turn the usb-c around........
Just like the old usb.
I don't know why. I already tried multiple cables, all have "one side connection", it seems it's phone's hardware issue. But I'm not sure.
That's not the case for me, looks like some people are telling this has happened for them after updating to 52.0.A.8.50

I'm also having the same problem with the same phone (android 10 build 52.1.A.2.1).
This problem started yesterday and somehow my SD card is not recognized anymore, it's asking to reformat it.
Rotating the original usb cable does help!
Only it doesn't want to connect to finder on my Mac, I have yet to try a windows pc.

What tab is it? I suppose a Huawei tab?
- Does it start charging when you connect to your PC?
- If it does, did you select USB-connection in your tab settings? It's standard set to charging.

Oh strange! I get usb settings in the top bar when connected to a pc. When swiping it down and select it. Then i can select usb-transfer and then it'll be vissable as storage on my pc.
- you checked the cable? Or maybe try another one?
- tried to get it back to factory defaults?
