PC not recognizing phone

Hi guys
Got a bit of a problem. I came back from work today and connected my g1 to my pc via usb cable. I have Power Manager installed and usually i get a 'Computer Powered Profile' notification but instead i got 'A/C Powered Profile' I then tried to use the app 'Mount USB' and it keep saying 'Please connect your phone to usb first'.
Ive tried all the USB ports on my PC and i get the same message/notification. I know there's nothing wrong with the usb ports as i am able to sync my iphone without a glitch.
Thanks in advance

[Q] USB Connection Issues

I have an issue with my PC not recognizing my Captivate. When I plug in the USB cable to my PC, I can choose to activate USB mode and it prompts me to mount the drive, I say yes but nothing shows up in My Computer. I was able to do all this fine just a few days ago.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers. I installed Samsung Kies and it doesn't recognize the phone. I tried my phone on another PC and it won't show up there either. I've factory wiped the phone twice now.
Is it a problem with the phone or is there something I can do to get this to work?

I'm having the same issue. Did you get this resolved & if so, how? Tried both ports on my MB Pro & work PC...tried Samsung cable & another USB cable. Debugging is on.

Try Settings -> Applications -> USB Settings -> (select) Mass Storage
I found that when my captivate was set to Kies my computer wouldn't pick it up.

Mine was set to ask on connection. Tried mass storage mode (debugging off) & no dice. Back to ask on connection with debugging on, and still nothing. I've tried all 3 USB ports on my work laptop and both on the MB Pro. Any other ideas?

Did u try enabling "debug mode" and seeing if the PC recognizes it.

The main issue is usually your USB cable. I had the same issue. You need to find an OEM mini usb cable for it to work properly. The one that came with my phone works fine, but when i went to ATT and bought one for my work, it only lets you charge the phone and does not put your phone into USB connection mode.

The ones from MonoPrice work for me and they were like $1.50

Diablo: Been in debugging mode most of the time trying to get it to work. Main issue is getting my personal MB Pro to recognize, so I won't be able to check/tinker much until after work tonight.
cajuntigerbait: I've been using the provided Samsung cable – tried a work Blackberry cable (works fine with my work BB) to no avail as well.
Will update tonight. Any tried & true methods for cleaning the phone port while I'm at it? Thanks for the quick responses, everyone

Thanks, will check the site & order a few when I get a chance. Couldn't hurt to have a couple spares, right?

[Q] Phone undetectable in Kies

all right, I recently received my phone back from repair shop (screen was damaged) and I've left my original Samsung data cable at my mums place for her to charge her Nokia and I've ordered a new spare one from Amazon for £2.
When I try to connect to the PC, I can browse my folders and copy stuff to and fro from the phone, but the only problem is that Kies doesn't recognise my phone when connected in Kies mode. it says connected on the phone, and connecting in Kies, but never connects!.
I've reinstalled Kies, Samsung drivers, and even Windows Media Player! rebooted my laptop and phone number of times, and still I cannot connect. Also, from what I can remember, when I connected my phone to laptop, it would have installed USB MTP driver. now when I connect it, it doesn't install it. I don't have an USB MTP driver, but I've installed SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe drivers.
Is this cable fault or is Kies acting weird? I suspect its cable fault. What do you guys think? How do I connect my phone to Kies?

As far as I remember, Samsung requires you to use the original cable for use with Kies. I don't know how they detect ist, but they do check. I suspect this to be your problem.
Solution: Call your mum and ask for a cable exchange

Hi, thanks for your help. Can someone link me to a store which sells data cable that can detect phone in Kies?
thanks in advance.

anyone with any info on the cables?

re
hi there i had broplems with my phone and checked usb cable properties to get my phone working.
Noticed that nokia usb cable aint using pin 4 or 5 so you shuold get a cable with every pin in use.

err.. what? that didn't even make sense to me.
I was asking if anyone knew any online retailer who could sell me galaxy s cable so that it could be used with kies?

surely someone knows where to buy an original cable!

Droid 3 undetectable

Alright, So I'm looking to help a friend get to the point where they can plug in their Droid 3 and it actually work.
Have plugged into every USB port, have installed the drivers Verizon reccomends installing for the device.
Basically we called up Verizon, and requested to get a actual OEM/Motorla cable. They sent a actual Motorola cable. Still doesn't work.
From what I understand the device has only been detected ONCE, and it was unsuccessful at finding drivers, now when you plug it in it doesn't even try to look for drivers. It just charges. gives you no options to mount or anything.
I've shot in and uninstalled alot of the drivers so it would cause it to re-detect and that attempt was unsuccessful as well. Uninstalled the Motorola driver application and did the same thing over, Uninstalled the USB drivers. Still nothing.
The device does run the most current version of Android, It is running stock. any clues?

perhaps try to manually install the drivers control panel/hardware/devices an printers

Have you checked the actual setting for the usb connection itself? Is it on charge only mode? Try a different computer if you can, if not, see if you can change the setting for when you first plug it into a computer, you should get the options of pc mode, charge only, media sync, and hard disk.

Jell - I'll shoot in and give that a shot if I can see if I can, Is i'll check for a driver package on the forums I guess see if anyone has one
Josh -- Not sure how to actually set the setting for the usb connection rather then when you plug it in and it asks for you to set it.
You plug it in and it charges, Doesn't ask what mode you want to put it in. Its like you're plugging it into a charger.

I have the same problem with connecting. My phone isn't recognizing that its plugged into a computer, it thinks it is plugged into a wall charger. It would be nice to know if anyone have figure this problem out.

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?
