I'm not sure why but my stock gb rooted galaxy note (LB1) will recognize a connection to any of my computers when I use the samsung usb cable that came with my note. I had the same problem with the vibrant when I had one and I thought when I rooted the note that would take care of this problem but I guess not. I also tried connecting via bluetooth but 2/7 of the bluetooth device drivers refuse to install. Why does samsung do this? It will charge in the wall with any USB cable, but only recognizable to the computer if it's a samsung usb cable? How can I get around this???!!!
And yes, I have latest kies installed, and yes, I have tried re-installing and restarting both of my computers running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
why does samsung do what? mine charges with any usb cable in the pc, the samsung wall charger is crap, i use my htc one

My computers will only recognize my Note if I use the cable that came with it. I have several generic, LG, HTC cables lying around and none of them work with the PC and the Note together. They will charge in the wall, but nothing happens when connected to a PC. I just tried a cable that came with a Kindle and that seems to work fine for whatever reason.
Lol that's funny as I use my kindle cable to charge and sync my note as well as it is twice as long as the supplied cable Samsung gave me. I keep that's as a spare for when I need to charge and I cant be bothered running upstairs lol

is it safe for me to use a standard mini-usb cable to sync/charge the diamond??
Yes. I am using it as well. No Problems.
good to know, since im out of town and completely forgot to bring the 11pin cable
standard usb works fine but charging takes over 4 hours
I always use a Sony Mini USB cable to charge my phone via my laptop at work.
Ive always done this with every phone ive owned, never been a problem.
I promise you guys I have searched and searched and searched!
I bought an aftermarket data/charging cable for my Galaxy 7 tab. When it arrived, I tested it with the Samsung wall wort and as a connection cable to my PC. All worked fine. I left to go out of town and forgot the wall wort. I used the original and aftermarket cable to trickle charge via USB on a laptop and via USB on a car charger. It did the trickle charge thing and that was it.
Now, I'm home and my wall wort won't fast charge and the device is not being recognized by my PC.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Not using original cable but it works to charge through the PC so why would it not be recognized as a device?

Power and data pins are different. The cable may charge your device, but it doesn't guarantee data transfer to work. Many cables use MicroUSB connectors, but no all cables have all pins connected. I have an LG charger that works with no issues on LG phone but can't charge Captivate. In the same time Blackberry charger and USB cable both work fine with Captivate. I have also a generic USB cable that can charge Captivate but doesn't provide data transfer. Original Samsung cable works for charging and data as expected. I think you should try with another USB cable.
I'm new to the Atrix HD, but have been around since the OG Droid (followed by a Droid 2, Droid 4, then Galaxy Nexus). I just picked up an Atrix HD for the first time.
USB works for fastboot - Windows 7 recognizes it, fastboot shows USB connected.
If phone is turned off, and connect USB to PC, phone boots up.
If phone is turned off, and connect USB to power adapter, it will charge.
Once booted into android, USB does not work at all. I've tried 2 different cables (both of which work to power it when connected to the wall charger) and 2 different physical machines across 3 different OS's - all with the same result. Once in Android, USB is not recognized. Nothing happens, no indication in the OS that a device is even detected.
I've tried RSD back to stock - but this did not resolve the issue.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Weird... Which Recovery are you using? Also, when did this problem started? Did you formated any partition? Any new ROM?

It was completely stock - OS and recovery.
I purchased it off ebay, so - I'm not sure when it started. I've been in contact with the buyer, and he said he never tried connecting to a PC.
With that being said, I was able to get it to work on my mac with a Nook cable. Same cable will not work in on my laptop in Win 7 or in Fedora 20 for this phone.
While not ideal, I was able to get the phone to it's desired state by using the mac (CWM recovery and CM11 ROM). After changing to CWM and CM11, phone exhibits same behavior still on Win 7 and Fedora when using a generic or genuine OEM Motorola cable (came with my Droid 4) as well as using the cables on the Mac. The only way it works is with the Nook cable on the Mac. Using the OEM or generic while attached to a wall adapter, the phone does charge.
The only thing I can think of with the Nook cable is that the connector is slightly longer than a typical USB adapter. I'm not sure why this works as I can not see any damage to the phone's USB socket.

This is really weird. But I think this is a hardware issue, even when the port may not show any signs of abuse or something like that. If you connect the OEM Motorola cable to the Mac, does it works? If it doesn't, it's very likely to be hardware issue. Also, you got it from Ebay, that's suspicious... Any way, another thing that you can do is download all Motorola drivers for Windows and try with a ton of USB cables.
Stupid question, but what exactly are you trying to do with it? And do you have USB debugging enabled?

Charging would be a good start, but file xfer would be nice too. I've tried with USB debugging both disabled and enabled.
Hi
Just plugged my Android 12 Samsung S21U into my Windows 11 PC but nothing showed on the PC. I woke the phone and tapped on the "charging" notification but nothing happened.
Went to developer settings and set the Default USB Config (which was off) to "Transfer Files"
Set USB debugging to be on too.
Still no avail.
Any help?
Is dex working? Or maybe a driver issue?
I've just installed Dex.
Samsung said I should make sure the phone is in the correct MTP when using the dialpad to type in *#0808# - which it is.
Tried installing the drivers from the Samsung website (although the UK version of the site doesn't offer any drivers) - not working.
I can connect the phone using the "link to Windows" but this won't let me connect normally.
Both Windows and the phone are fully up to date with all the latest.
Just restarted the phone and can connect to Dex, although I think it's doing it wirelessly rather than through the cable.
Yes, have tried another PC (another W11 PC).
Yes, have tried another cable (both high speed purple and low speed).
Yes, have tried another phone on both PCs and that shows fine.
What worries me a little is that Device Manager doesn't show anything connected to the PC when I connect the phone.
Turns out you need the official Samsung cable, which is USB-C to USB-C only.
My PC doesn't have a USB-C connector so looks like I'm gonna have to purchase one.
Shame they've gone the Apple route - my old Huawei P30 Pro will connect for data transfer using any old cable, of which we have loads around these days.

Pretty sure this is false. My S21U gets recognized on my PC with a normal USB A to USB C cable.
Agreed. That is just not true, I've used a USB A to C worked fine
Hmm, maybe my three cables I tried are too old?
They're from Amazon and don't particularly state they work with Samsung phones.
The plot thickens.
