[Q] Galaxy Ace s5830 does not detect USB

I have a Galaxy Ace here. When I connect my USB cable to the phone from the computer, the phone starts charging BUT doesn't recognise it's connected to the computer. (i.e. the USB connected does NOT show in the android notification bar.)
I have tried
power on/off,
cable unplug on both ends,
other computers,
factory reset 2 times
etc.
and all ended with the same result.
Seems like this is a problem with the phone. Any way I can fix this?

I just used it a while ago to transfer some music files like an SD card WITHOUT installing Kies..... it worked.
Now suddenly it's not showing the "USB Connected" notification in the Notification Bar anymore.

There's nothing wrong with enabling usb debugging so I don't understand the exclamation.
To OP, what is your rom? For bugs like that i'll normally wipe caches.

but there is no kies for linux...... i just used it a while ago on my Linux Ubuntu 11.04 without any Kies. And it worked just like an SD card. I transferred music, .apk files, documents etc.

I have problems with connecting to Ubuntu. It works sometimes and sometimes not. I don't have a solution.

What's the ROM that you're using ?

u didnt stated anywhere (until ur 6th post) that ur using linux. its a big difference u know. atleast if we know that ur using linux we wouldnt suggest installing kies. i think its just a missing driver problem. what distro ur using? btw my ace detected just fine on my fedora core 15 out of the box.
edited: i think its libusb problem in ur distro. try to update/downgrade it

i don't think it actually has ANYTHING to do with the OS on my computer.
I have a linux and i have a MAC. Just one or two hours ago i used Simple USB plugging (by pressing on the USB Connected Notification that pops up on the phone's notification area) WITHOUT ANY INSTALLATION OF KIES, and I performed data transfer of music files and picture files in and out of the device... i have done that with BOTH the Mac and the Linux just an hour ago without installing Kies.
However, now the phone would not show the USB Connected notification on my android device when i plug in the USB...... neither in the Mac nor in the Linux. My phone is charging....... but my phone is not understanding that a bloody DATA cable is plugged in and it is connected with a PC (or a MAC or a Linux)
This should not be an issue of the computer OS...... neither be an issue of Kies since i DID do all these without kies just an hour ago in both the Mac and the linux. You do not require Kies for using your samsung phone simply as a SD card.

Just try:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Don't always come to the conclusion that it has nothing to do with the OS , because in technical stuff anything is possible .

the thing is, when i connect the phone with the computer via USB, my phone is just charging without recognizing that it is actually connected to a computer.
As a result, ADB is also seeing nothing connected with the computer. A very weird case over here.

Can't connect to pc

Bought this Galaxy S yesterday
I cant get it to connect to my pc
i have done the following.
-installed and reinstalled Kies several times
-Installed and reinstalled drivers several times
-Tried 4 different usb cables
-Tried in USB debugging mode
My phone connects to the pc and then i get a message that my phone is not recognized (windows error 43)
The phone does charge . I have tried all of the options like Samsung Kies , Mass storage , Media player
Nothing seems to work when i select media player option the mpt application starts to crash , i have read on forums that if the mtp crashes i can just select mass storage mode but when i select mass storage mode my pc says device not recognized
When i checked the Build info it says on Kernel Version 2.6.29 [email protected] #4
Firmware version is 2.1-update-1
Build number is Eclair.XWJM2
Please help me with this , i thought maybe there if i flash everything but in order to flash it i need to connect it to my pc which is becoming impossible

I'm trying to see if the issue gets resolved after upgrading the firmware
My computer detects the phone but says there is something wrong with the device
So i guess Odin will also be unable to detect it

Well uninstall kies.. install the samsungs USB drivers and see if Odin detects your phone... and if it does flash the firmware of your choice

Are you absolutely sure that the guy sold it coz he WANTED to, & not coz he HAD to??
It's quite probable that he damaged it & then since can't fix it, so sold it away!
Anyway, Try factory reset!
If that doesn't work,
Use the Volume DOWN+Home+Power button combo to get into DOWNLOAD MODE, THEN see if the PC detects a device connected. With all those drivers, it should.
If it does, then you can go ahead & flash it using Odin, or EZOdin

Tried updating to ICS through KIES. Update failed

Hello guys.
I really need some help. Im going away for 2 weeks on 4 June. And after i come back ill be ghone after 2 days again for 2 weeks and i need my phone!
My story:
I saw an update for my phone to ICS. So i plugged on my laptop and put the update on with KIES 2.1.3.
At about 64% the update didnt go ferther and it gave an error report.
The program KIES shut down, and my phone turned off.
I putted everything back on. But now my phone says this:
''Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in KIES & try again.''
KIES doesnt see my phone anymore. And the recovery mode i found on the internet.
Volume button up, home button+ power button doesnt work.
It keeps going to this screen.
My phone was 2.3.6 standard, non rooted etc etc.
How can i fix this fast?
I tried rooting and flashing, but i just cant do anything with my phone exept this screen i explained.
Thanks in advance.
Mitchell

Just download ODIN app for Windows, get right stock firmware from development thread ( Dr. Ketan's post ) and flash it with ODIN. It's as simple as clicking select file and start. Everything is described in the thread with firmware downloads.

Yes. Then there is hope. Now I recommend you to try flashing one of the stock roms from dr.ketans thread in development section.
Its not very complicated. But feel free to ask if you need more help.

I just cant explain how happy i am with this forum.
Brings so much luck into live
Thanks.
Ill see if i need more help. Hopefully not.

Is there any dutch ICS rom?
Or should i stick with a basic english?

I got exactly the same problem. Called T-Mobile's helpdesk. With everything I asked, the girl said, it's in the manual. Finally, the best she had to offer was for me to send my Note to Samsung.
So then I started looking for a solution myself and found it here.
Solved it with the said solution. Flashing with Odin is a piece of cake. Thanks for the expertise folks.

Good thing we can help. Wouldnt call myself an expert though

Well i searched for hours to. My sister had her S2 upgraded with KIES. That worked, but the ICS update itself was plain suck.
I fixed it thanks to XDA forum. Nothing found on the internet exept sending to help desk.
Same with what i got now.
But now it is fixed and im thankfull to the ones helping.
Now i am willing to try ICS without KIES.

Lol in kies you have recovery mode you missed an option

So it wasnt an option.

For me this didnt work. KIES had an upgrade, but seems like it still doesnt do the job right.

Ran some tests. Now i am back at the issue.
Now Odin doesnt want to continue updating like KIES always does.
I wish i didnt do the tests...

And now Odin doesnt do anything to aswell. Keeps saying ''Failure'' after some time.

Now ODIN is stuck at syaing ''BOOT'' above ID:COM.
How can i fix this?

Well seems like the Dutch roms aint working.
I did an European right now wich worked.

I9001 problem

My SGS+ runs on 2.3.5
when I connect USB cable it charges but WINXP won't recognize it .... tried on different machines ... reinstalled drivers (Kies drivers and Nexus )
still the same
Any suggestions ?
even tried tut http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571
Nothing helps

Maybe your usb cable is broken?

first of all. wrong post. you need to post you questions in the q&a forum.
second: go to settings, connections, usb-connection. there are three options: kies, mediaplayer and mass storage. choose kies if you want to connect with kies. be sure to have usb-debugging turned off (in settings, go to development at the bottom)
hit thanks if i helped

After several failure attempts definitely 95% sure USB connector is broken.
By the way i have stock firmware 2.3.5 rooted, remowed CWM before USB connector broke so only thing is to unroot and do factory reset
I think that might be enough for mobile company to repair it !
Thanks everyone for help !!

I had this issue as well. It turns out that somehow the micro USB cable plug was slightly damaged although i couldn't see any difference with the naked eye. But anyway, this was resolved with a new cable.
