[Q] How to change USB connection mode?

How can i change USB connection mode for the Note? Everytime I connect the USB cable, Note always connect in MPT mode even with the MHL adapter. Help pleaseeeeeee

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.

[Q] Galaxy Note wont connect to pc

Hello forum !
i have used a couple of hours now trying to find a solution to my problem both here on the site but also on the internets.
i just recently became the happy owner of a Note, but i have been completely unable to connect it to any of my pc's ive had a galaxy i9000 that i didnt have any problems with but with my note it wont work.
under win7 64bit - when i plug the usb cable a "boc opens" in the drop down menu called MTP and when i klick that nothing happens, ive trid the varies ways of removing the sd card unmounting it etc. and debugging and so on but wont work.
it randomly connected once but then it dissapeared from my computer.
under winXP 32bit it just says usb device not recognised, i really wanna root this thing so i can play with the true power of this amazing device.
and on both pc's ive tried with kies and driver packs both together and seperately.
anyone out there that can help me out with this problem ?
cheers
and happy new year

Before connecting it to the PC with the cable, click "connect storage to pc" in the USB settings. After clicking it, then it will ask you to connect to pc. If you connect to pc before clicking it will not connect.

Hello i have done that but the same happens ive done it like it says i should i just dont get why my pc wont recognise it , when i press it and then it waits for me to plug it in, i do that the dialogue box shuts and then nothing happens besides windows saying unrecognised device connected

Strange, Mine connect fine just like how marinervijay mentioned. Go to Settings > Wireless> Usb Utilities and press connect first and then insert your USB, then press connect USB. Voila. There should be a window prompting to open in your windows just like when u insert a flashdrive to ur computer.

iknow its supposed to work like that.
the problem is that it doesnt work :/

Okay, have u tried resetting your Note to factory default?

no i havent tried that, because its all new it didnt work since i got it, i never thought that that might help, ill give it a go.
thx

On another, you might have a defective USB given to you by ur retailer. Perhaps you can contact them somehow and ask them to replace your USB?

do you mean the USB cable delivered with the phone ?
Cheers

Yes. Could be a defect. I'd suggest you check with your retailer if it is replaceable if none of what mentioned is working for you.

Hi,
Have you ticked USB debugging? Its under Settings>Apps>Development
Then it should show usb connection in notification tab, tap it and set usb storage as on.

There may be few problems here so I will suggest different solutions, one might work for you
1. Turn off your antivirus and connect, it should work, see after connecting mobile that does it install something near "Bottom clock"?, open "my computer" see if it gives you N7000 (give it a minute). sometimes your computer settings are a problem
2. If no, Install latest Kies on your computer as it downloads Samsung drivers for your phone
3. after connecting 1st time, computer takes some time to recognize your mobile--be patient--
4. if all of above doesnot work, restart computer, connect USB to another (or same) port (turn off antivirus) and see
5. Nothing, try in Setting>Applications>Development>debugging Mode
6. if not, try on another computer
7. still does not connect, change USB cable
8. Still nothing there might be a issue with your device, but I will not conceive that every quickly, trying all above few times should resolve the issue..
7.

Okey ive tried them all now, more then a few times most of these ive tried already and the antivirus isnt an issue as i dont have any on this pc. i think the problem either lays at the usb cable or the device itself. i will try and get to borrow a cable from a friend or something
Cheers for all the replies and helpfull inputs
Happy new year to everyone ^^

Have you tried connecting note to the pc using wireless?
Kies allows you to connect wirelessly.

Hey,
I am able to get USB storage, and I got root access thru the batch files and help provided in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
I have Kies installed and this probably helped detect the phone.
Hope this helps..

USb Problem
Hi I've had the same problem.
I have been using the Note quite happily as a Mass USB storage since early December. Plugged it in this morning and I don't get anything. I have also tried the debugging and all the other things listed. Here's what I get:
Usb debugging on - just a sound and a charging indication
Usb debugging off -usb connected Mtp connected on the notification pull down page. When I click on notification it just shuts the window.
I have tried dialling *#7284# and selecting USB PDA which didin't do anything for me but others seem to have had some luck. See this link:
blog.vacs.fr/index.php?post/2010/12/24/How-to-repair-the-USB-not-detected-problem-on-Android-Samsung-phones
I will be rebooting tonight but I don't really want to.

only the Samsung USB wire works
I had this problem today. The Note would never connect the USB or external storage. I searched and found this thread.
I then noticed it was another USB cable (I gave about 1,000 now!). I tried the Samsung one, and it worked first time.
It is annoying, because these cables are normally swappable with any device. It appears Samsung have defined their own standard. The great thing about standards, of course, is that there are some many to choose from!

USB cable was defect - and replaced
Thanks for the help everyone

PC cant find my device

Hi, i was using a custom ROM on my GT-i9000B. Few days ago, my windows stop recognizing my phone.
I plugged a SGS SII and a Galaxy W at my PC, after that I wasnt able to find my own phone using USB.
I did a system factory reset. Now I am at stock 2.2.1 and I still cant connect it using USB. adb devices doesnt show nothing. Odin shows nothing too.
I also try reinstall kies and samsung usb drivers.
Alog cat shows:
E/MTPRx ( 4020 ) Battery charging. plugType = 1
E/MTPRx ( 4020 ) Not of USB charging. DOnt launch MTP APP
Can anyone help me?

What does your Windows Device Manager show?

it shows nothing... ;(
my friends can use their phone here. THey have a Xperia S and a sgs W.
I am not able to use my GT-I9000B. Now I cannot even change my ROM cause odin is not able to find it! ;(((((

Try in order:
1) Use other USB port on your PC, preferred is on the motherboard (back side of the case) if it's desktop.
2) Use other USB cable.
3) Use other PC.
4) Check if charging works from PC
5) Check if charging works from charger

1) I am using a notebook asus A42F I tried on 3 USB ports
2) I have 2 original samsung usb cables
3) I tried at my friends pcs and it failed too. At mine pc, when I plug the phone at my notebook , it plays a sound but it didn´t show the phone and the internal sd cards. ;(
4) charge works from usb cable
5 ) charge works from power charger
thanks

Plays a sound on PC or on the phone?
If it is only a phone playing the sound (charging start) then I'd suspect some failure (dust particles or broken connection) in the phone's USB connector - please take a look in to the phone usb socket - does it look ok, are there any bent pins, some large particles etc?

It seems its all ok.
I am worried about what alogcat shows.
E/MTPRX Intent Action android.intent.action.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED
E/Setting Battery charging. plugtype = 1
E/Setting Not of USB charging. Dont Lauch MTP APP
I guess i will upload a new rom to my phone using wifi and update it from cwm.
I read about some roms on that format update.zip.
WHat do u think?

I put my device at download mode and odin is not able to show it.
Is it ****ed?

This log part looks like charger connection.
So looks like although Ground and +5V connections are ok - otherwise there'd be no charging, two other wires - data connection are not connected or are shorted.
See e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799160
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910931
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12593413#post12593413
But I can't be 100% sure of course, might as well be a software glitch, so you may try usual routine - wipe cache partition, flash some good stock rom?

STill the same problem
Alog cat shows:
E/MTPRx ( 4020 ) Battery charging. plugType = 1
E/MTPRx ( 4020 ) Not of USB charging. DOnt launch MTP APP

Did your previous ROM have fast charge? Did you ever enable it?

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?

This soloiotion worls with me in Galaxy pop plus
Now uninstall kies and the drivers and reboot and your device should be plugged in
After you restart your PC u will install samsung kies and the drivers and the PC should recongize your mobile

USB connection to PC - only charging

Dear All,
Yesterday I switched on my old Pixel 4a5G then connected to the PC and... nothing happened.
I dont have any notification on Windows (even on Ubuntu) about new device (checked also device manager) and the same on the Pixel.
Phone only charged.
I decided to check another cables and I had the same result. I even bought new cable USB Ato C 3.2 gen 1 and still nothing only charging.
I checked on another PC the same - only charging my device and no connection. Of course I switched on usb debugging on Developer Mode and USB/Android Auto File Transfer option, even PTP doesen't work.
So I had:
- no notification about USB connection on the Pixel
- no notification about new device on the Windows (missing sound , no device Android or another name in Device Manager on the Windows)
I switched Pixel in safe mode - the same result
I connected to the Pixel my WD SE protable hard drive and... I had notification about USB device, I opened it and had two options:
- This device (which was choosen)
- Connected Device
rest like File Transfer, Connection Thetering were grayed out
I choose Connected Device and there was an info "switching" and after couple seconds "cound not switch..."
If anyone had the same problems? could be software problem or USB port broken on the Pixel?
I have latest updates installed on the Pixel. I did Factory Reset but nothing changed. Even on Fastboot mode Windows didn't recognize device (no sound nothing)

Mine stopped connecting to PC after Nov2022 security update, still will not connect & Google dont want to know, they just shut threads down.

Hi !
I have had the same problem for a long time !!! No more notifications to choose it when connect my Pixel to PC !!? no Pop-up to choose "Connection, Photo Transfer, Charge, etc..."
The simplest solution is to connect the Pixel via USB to the PC/MAC then open Settings/Connected Devices/USB/ To finally access to choose "File Transfer, Connection Sharing, Midi, Etc..." menu.
Do not forget to first activate the developer mode and USB debugging.
But I don't understand why I never see the notification to choose
