Windows 8.1 compatible with Samsung Note 3. - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Everywhere I read says no.
Except here.
Thoughts?
[EDIT]I'm an idiot. This is the other way around, plugging device into windows pc. DOH[EDIT]

It's actually a bit worse than that: this is the Windows Phone 8 forum, not Windows 8 (that one is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-8-rt).

Sync with Windows 7

Anyone know how to sync with Windows 7???
I've tried to install Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1, but it don't recognize my phone.. And ActiveSync won't even be installed due to compability reasons. (Doh, it's Win7)
I really like Win7, so it would be great to sync the phone
Try another cable or something, the mobile center should work.

But the mobile is charging =/ So i don't think something is wrong with the cable and it worked just fine in XP (ActiveSync). And when I connected the mobile first time, the PC recognized it and installed the drivers for the mobile and the ActiveSync started on the mobile. Should it start on the phone when mobile center is running on the PC?
So does that mean you didn't try anothe cable? Because if you had researched this sort of thing (aka searched) you would find that the cables do this quite often.

i don't know what is the issue for you as i have win7rc1 and i can sync fine using the mobile device center.
If you are using 64bit Windows 7 then you need to download the updated drivers for the HTC. I am not sure exactly where Microsoft has these located, but it automatically downloaded and installed the new USB drivers that it needed just the other day for me......
Works excellent. I was using the 32 Bit version of Windows 7 before this and even though its based under Vista couldn't get it to synch up.
I have Win7 64 bit...with internet already established through another source, when I plugged in my tilt, it found the driver and installed it and has worked flawlessly ever since.
Works fine for me too on Win7 x64.
First, try another cable. USB has 4 connections, only 2 are needed to make it charge, but for communication it needs all 4. Maybe try another USB port on your PC as well.
And as said before, make sure you have an internet connection so it can download the drivers.
WMDC is already built in with Win7, so don't install any other versions from Microsoft Download Center.
Works fine for Win7 x64.
but Win7 x86 "NO"
you can use virtual XP mode for 32bit version
Updates?
Hi. I had this same problem following a hard-reset of my phone. After a while of searching I found that an update (designed for Vista) is available on the microsoft website. Downloaded, installed and sync worked first time. Yey
It should work with Win 7 RC 32 bit - does for me!

Then you're doing something wrong (such as not having the TyTN II correctly connected to your desktop PC or not having internet access on it to download whats required perhaps). I plugged my TyTN II into my Win 7 RC (32 bit) PC and after a bit of hardware detection and some automatic downloading it works (allbeit still with slow file tranfers but at least the UI is better than Win XPs Activesync). Welcome to xda-dev by the way
I think that it matters wether or not it's Windows7 RC.. Right after it came out someone was using the beta and it wouldn't work for them.

I was wondering the same but as the RC version is still avail for free until 20 Aug, anyone with the Beta should be formatting and installing this instead. Grab it while you can
I am running RC 7100 and I have no problem syncing.
Only issue I have now is, when the phone is connected, it won't let me delete or replace any .xml files through file explorer. This was never an issue with XP and Active Sync.
i just found what the problem is. Open settings on phone, then connection tab, open usb to pc... and there uncheck (enable advanced network function)
With it checked it didnt work on mine win7

I had that problem when I first bought my TyTN II but it was because I was attempting to connect it to my ancient USB 1.1 ports on my Pentium III. As soon as I installed a modern (but cheap) NEC chipset USB 2.0 PCI adapter card, I found I could connect fine either with or without advanced network functionality enabled. This is a USB port hardware compatibility issue rather than a Win 7 issue and I suspect even if users have Win XP on the machine that behaves this way, they'd still get the exact same response.
your speaking about USB 1 when others is speaking about Win7. If you dont know win 7 is the newest MS OS. So, i belive, all who use win7 have USB2. So there is question why you mention usb1?
And i didnt sad whole story. I had used phone with win xp for long time with that check on, and with one cabler... now on win7 i tried 2 diferent cables with that check on. Didnt work. Took it off and it started to work. So its Win7 issue.

Thanks for the explanation but my Pentium III is capable of running (or should that be walking) Win 7 RC and it has USB 1.1 ports (as well as a USB 2.0 card now). Given Win 7 RC was avail free of charge - don't know if it still is, I got mine in June, there'll be people who get it just to see what it looks like, even though the hardware isn't up to ideal spec.
I don't know what ports were being used in your case because as you mentioned, full details weren't supplied and we didn't have the whole story - we still don't know. Glad you've resolved the issue in your case but in a modern PC which can comfortably run Windows 7, I wouldn't typically expect this to be an issue. If the hardware is struggling to keep up or has USB ports of dubious quality/performance, then thats a different matter.
Sounds like win7 (my main OS now days) communicates with the USB ports in a different manner than XP or the other OS's. Good to know.

Unable to use N1 with Windows 7 64 Bit

I tried to do a search for this, and nothing came up for me. I recently purchased a new Laptop, running Windows 7 64 bit. My Nexus One will not install any of the drivers on such. I have downloaded the drivers from the Android Development, yet I am unable to actually use my Nexus One for ADB or for even Disk Mode. It keeps stating it is unable to install the drivers. I haven't ever tried to use my N1 with any 64 bit OS before this (except linux and mac, but that just seems to work) and my 32 bit OS's seem to work perfectly fine. Anyone else having this issue? Or possible solution?
I had the same problem when i went to root mine. I tried every tweak and hack and fix an update nothing worked.. but send someone at android community.com had it..
If you can wait a few hours i will post it when i get home..
Please don't even think of putting windows mobile on your nexus one. That is against Android law!

Keep trying and make sure you install the correct drivers. Try from another download source and don't let windows install the defaults.

I had the same problem. After hours trying things and searching for solutions in Google, finally MY solution was activate the USB Debug Mode
I hope this works for you too!

Same with me. USB Debug mode fixed it.
Im on Windows 7 x64 Pro. I havent had any problems getting ADB to work with my machine. I downloaded the SDK from the website and ran the sdk setup.exe. It will fail the first time, you have to close it and go to settings and FORCE HTTPS. once that is done. reopen it and reject everything except Device Drivers. This will download the drivers. When I connect my phone with debug mode on windows auto picks up the drivers and installs it.
I got it running on my machine ..windows64bit .. took a lil while but like someone said but it can be done ..or if all else fails install droid explorer ..and use its sdk directory
I had the same problem. In my case it was because I was plugging it into a usb port that was built into a card reader in my tower. As it turned out the usb port was not putting out enough power, so I decided to try some ports that are on the bottom of my case and the problem went away.
Each usb hub has to share power, so if you have several usb devices that pull some juice workin on the same hub you can try to get onto another hub via another port.
Win7 64 bit
I had the same problem. For me the solution was to use a legacy/older USB port on my laptop and not a highspeed one.
i am having this issue as well.
i have looked everywhere, and tried many solutions. i am lost.
my windows 7 32bit laptop sees the N1 is connected but cannot install or even find any drivers for it. i have USB debugging mode checked. i have tried ADK, using the USB drivers it provides, no luck there.
my N1 isn't rooted yet, and i'd like to trick it out. but i have to get access to it first. any help y'all can provide would be amazing.
it may be possible this is a windows 7 issue, with drivers and such. but i've been looking around for a while and can't find a solution anywhere.

Problem connecting to USB

Recently I got a Kyocera Sanyo Zio from Cricket. I updated to 2.2 Froyo, and I was having moderately decent fun with it. I wanted to get Netflix on my phone, so I researched and found a way to do it through the SDK Manager or however you say it.
Problem is, I installed the drivers for the Zio from the website itself, and when I plug in the USB cable, it says "The driver is not intended for this platform." I have Windows Vista on my computer, and everywhere I've looked I can't seem to find a solution. I just want to be able to connect my phone to the computer so I can get Netflix amongst other interesting apps I can't find in the marketplace.
I've been trying for days looking for a solution and it's given me a headache...I'd really appreciate some help, if any is given, and I thank you in advance.
Windows 7 32 or 64 bit drivers.
http://www.kyocera-wireless.com/support/phone_drivers.htm
Find your system. Install the drivers for it.
I have windows vista...I already installed those drivers and it says what I wrote before, "Driver not intended for this platform." If those are for windows 7, then they wouldn't be compatible with vista, right?
EDIT: After realizing that the version previously shown was not compatible with my system, I made another search for a driver compatible with Windows Vista. Found it, connected my phone, so I guess this thread is pointless now :/ But thank sinisin for making me realize that those drivers were for windows 7.

[Q] USB 3.0 Problem connecting to PC

Got my Note 3 Yesterday and I noticed that when I plug it up to any of the USB 3.0 Ports on my PC which has Asus Sabertooth 990fx R1 board and Windows 8 it will charge but is not recognized and doesn't show up in drives folder but the phone shows the charging symbol at the top indicating it's charging. I have Kies 3 installed isn't that supposed to put the correct drivers in when you install it? I don't see any other drivers to install yet. Unless something is wrong with the Phone because my pc detects my usb 3.0 flash drive when it's plug up?
Dude I have exact same problem and I have that exact same motherboad. I haven't tried to figure it out but I believe you gotta get the 3.0 drivers from samsung.com
EDIT:
Yes I figured it out! And the fix is specifically for our motherboard/software installed. Open the AI Suite and disable Ai Charger +. Reconnect your phone with a 3.0 port and it works fine!

Did you disable the BC 1.1 function? Also I'm assuming your PC supports 3.0?

so, it's either fast charge, or fast data transfer, but you can't have both active at the same time.

[Q] USB Debugging not working, Memo Pad ME170C (K017)

It seems no matter what I do I can't get the popup to show to authorize my computer on the device. The device shows up just fine in adb but is unauthorized and I can't authorize it due to never receiving the popup. I'm using Windows 8.1 which is where I prefer to do my development but I actually installed linux and set up my environment there just to see if I could at least authorize the device but still couldnt get the popup there either!
Here's a complete list of what I have tried. They arn't in accurate order, i've listed them generally as I remember doing them...
1. First off i just let windows detect the device and install the driver. The device showed up in device manager as Asus Android Composite ADB Interface
2. I'm using Android Studio. I made sure everything was up to date. ADB Version 1.0.32, Android Studio itself fully updated and everything up to date according to SDK Manager.
3. Looked to Asus for a specific driver but there is no driver for this specific model.
4. Tried Google USB drivers. Had to force install
5. Tried Asus Android ADB Interface and Asus Android Composite ADB Interface drivers I found online. Had to force install.
6. Tried Asus PC Link hoping it would install the correct drivers automatically.
7. Rebooted pc and device many times as well as toggling usb debugging, revoking usb authorizations and switching between MTP and PTP. All of these were done in just about every possible combination with every driver I have tried.
After all of the above the device continued to either show offline or unauthorized. All these drivers seemed to work as the device was picked up by adb, but no authorization dialog on device.
8. All of the above was done under Windows 8.1 so at this point I said screw it and installed linux just to see if I could at least get the authorization popup to show. I Installed Android Studio under linux and performed all the necessary steps. To cut a long story short I did pretty much the same as I did in Windows minus messing around with drivers. Again under linux I could get the device to show but either as offline or with no permissions and still no authorization dialog.
9. I don't know much about linux, so had the help of a couple of kind guys on irc who walked me through some other things which im not entirely sure what they were.....something like adding android rules and registering usb devices manually with their PID and VID. lsusb seemed to show the device just fine.
10. Evntually gave up on linux as I hadn't made any progress at all and I was just getting the same problems as with windows 8.1. So at this point I went back to Windows.
11. Went back to the Asus site and grabbed a an adb driver for a simalar device (differnt model of the memo pad 7). I had a look in the inf file for this driver and found that my model was actually in there and got excited. Windows wouldn't let me install because of the file being corrupt or possibly being tampered with, so I disabled driver signature enforcement and windows happily installed them. This was something new as they were the first drivers that installed niceley since the very first one windows automatically installed. I'm satisfied now that I actually have the right drivers due to my model actually being in the inf file and the device is now being picked up consistently by adb. When it is picked up as offline all I need to do is toggle usb debugging and it gets picked up again as unauthorized...but still....
NO AUTHORIZATION DIALOG ON THE DEVICE....ARGGGHHHHHH!
Also I should mention, while doing this I also tried with a Lenovo device as I went through each step of trying to get the Asus to work and I had the same problem with the Lenovo. No authorization dialog. But how is this possible? 2 devices, multiple usb cables, 7 usb ports, Windows and Linux, Multiple drivers for each device etc etc.
I'm at the end of my tether here. I have been at this for about a week solid now and I am no closer to finding out the problem. Surely it can't be 2 problematic devices? But It can't be both Windows and Linux? Are all my USB ports broken? Are all the 5 USB cables I used (Official asus, official lenovo, official htc and 2 generic cables) damaged?
The only similarities here are that The pc remains the same and both devices are kitkat 4.4.2.
Please help!
EDIT: I now have 5 devices here. The Asus Memo Pad 7 ME170C, Lenovo 3500-f, Archos Gamepad, HTC Desire HD and a crappy chinese tablet off ebay (Allwinner A13). The latter 3 are running older versions of android that don't have the whitelisting feature and all show up with their serial numbers ABCDWHATEVER Device when running adb devices but as soon as I run android studio they go offline. The Asus and Lenovo show as ABCDWHATEVER Unauthorized (still not getting the authorization dialog on these two devices) and also go offline when running android studio.
Ok, it looks like i simply cannot access any android device on this PC. I can't even browse the files on the device in windows as the window just locks up and the top green progress bar runs and gradually gets slower then never completes. I'm gonna make a new post on another forum about this since it no longer seems device specific.
