good day, can anyone help me or atleast point me in the right direction if galaxy note usb tethering works out of the box? i just tried mine but the windows 7 OS doesnt have the drivers,it was recognized as "samsung_android" but no drivers are installed.... im wondering if mine is broken... thanks...
ok, i know now, to answer my own question, i have to INSTALL FIRST "Kies" to be able to install the driver and make the USB tethering work, so its NOT working OUT OF THE BOX right away..... too bad, i thought i can use it as a modem without installing any driver/software... let this be a reference for future Q's / Info ... more power xda-devs
Hello XDA developers / forum users,
Finaly I've buyed myself a (very) nice phone: The Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 .
I'm really happy with it, but I've a smal problem with connecting my phone by USB to my Windows 7 64bit computer. I can't get it working.
Not with Kies, not with installing just the driver, nothing seems to help.
Hopefully someone overhere has had the same problem which has been solved already ......
I've searched your forum and also the internet for the solution and/or work arround, but couldn't find anything what helped.
I'm sorry when I've missed the topic on your forum, if so please post the link.
I hope someone can help me out with this isue,
Thanks in advance,
nldark

Thanks dr.ketan for your reaction,
Unfortunately it's still not working ....
By the install procedure it says:
USB Device Not Recognized
One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfuntioned, and windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
When I do this it will try to install again the driver, but it says that it has already the latest driver. Nothing helps, uninstall, reinstall.
In the device manager it shows up under Universal Serial Bus controllers as: Unknow device.
What else of suggestions do you have?
Any help would be apreciated .....
I had issues too. Sometimes it would take forever to find the driver and sometimes in errors out.
After you installed Kies. Go to device manager and find your Samsung device. Usually will have the yellow caution triangle next to it. Right click change drivers. Do not let Windows search. I don't know the exact wording off hand but you want to get to the point where windows will let you select from a list of devices. Scroll down to Samsung and select. That's what worked for me.
Hi there again,
With a samsung galaxy s, is connecting easy does it with my windows7 64bit computer.
So in my opinion it really has to do with the driver.
I have also tried to connect to a XP computer (with my note), what also works fine.
Does anyone have an idea?

Uninstall kies, Just reinstall isolated driver.
If you connecting device with Extension cable, remove it, N connect direct to USB slot of main board(back side)
once it recognise, you can reinstall kies.
I'm having problems with drivers too but with the bluetooth driver. My laptop can't recognize my Note's bluetooth. I was able to install the driver before but the problem came up when I reinstalled windows. I have windows 7 x64 home premium installed. I can send and receive files though after pairing, but I need to manually click the send and receive options in my computer unlike before where I can send and receive files automatically.
Thanks Dr. Ketan,
Since I put my USB cable at the backside from the computer it recognized my telephone
I tried this also with an USB extension cable, but as you said already this isn't working!
I tried also again the front USB connector, but with that connector my telephone won't still be recognized, so I buyed a long cable and will use from now on the back side USB connector!
Thanks again for the good work,
No Kies..... AAAAArrgghh
I read so many threads to disable USB debugging, reboot (with/without SIM/microSD), uninstalled all USB and BT from PC (W7-X64) uninstall/reinstall Kies, and still KIES gives me this message not to be able to connect to my N7000.
There was a little KIES update which started to ask for the right phone, but the N7000 was not even listed!. Took me an entire day!
What a nightmare! Al other phones I have used worked like a charm to connect and sync. Here I sit with a 500 Euro Galaxy Note which even does not have my contacts!
To add to this (it being an appropriate thread),
I have Note and win7/64 and connections was fine with Keis installed but not running i did not have any problems until last week, when suddenly i could not read the micro USB card nor copy files from the phone.
After much mucking about, deleting drivers and reloading etc, i stumbled across a thread somewhere that suggested unmounting then mounting the SD card.. this worked.
Note and windows 7 32-bit
it works perfectly with XP Pro (synching and note being recognized).
While I try to do the same thing with windows 7 (32 bit) I does not recognize the note (I have installed the driver from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997)
I have dismounted and mounted back the microsd card. Still not recognized. It only says that the driver has been installed, that the usb connection is working fine but the note is not listed in device manager nor I can synch anything.
Any ideas?

reinstall kies then use a different usb port i too use win 7x64
I have uninstalled Kies wifi and disabled kies air. Which should I reinstall ?
I completely abandoned KIES as it is a nightmare.... for a few euro I bought something called Mobisynapse, which seems to do the job alright, although it is rather simple in its functionality.
(Unbelievable Samsung making nice products but this crappy s/w.)

Along the way I've had to play about with several things quite often to get the connection working. See: this (the whole thread discusses this sort of connection issues); in this thread several of the problems I posted turned out to be related to USB ports and drivers.
Basically the variables are, as far as I can see:
- on the device side, USB debugging (see this, third bit) and neighbouring posts, and USB connection mode (see above)
- and on the pc side first the USB drivers, which you have already downloaded. I can make a connection using both Kies drivers (though I tend to agree with Eira007 here about their temperamentality) and Samsung USB drivers. BUT they won't co-exist. I have two separate (multiboot) instances of Windows 7 with Kies on one and Samsung drivers on the other! And then on the PC side finally the USB port you use. The drivers won't work with just any USB port, "kieskeurig" I would almost be tempted to say (sorry, Dutch joke). Most people (as in this thread) stress the importance of using a USB port at the back of the computer. However, in my rooting quest (see above) I actually discovered that connection via a USB port at the back of the computer didn't work but that connection via a USB hub did. So my experience is that with these four variables it's very much a case of "your mileage may vary" as they say, although the experts definitely advise no hub or USB extension cable and a rear side USB port. I would advise you to play around with the variables until it suddenly, magically works, keeping in mind that you can't install Kies and ordinary Samsung drivers together. Also, when removing one driver and installing the other you have to do a very thorough deinstall first (remove all related files and registry references) and a clean reinstall, otherwise Windows will just say, as mentioned in this thread that "the latest drivers are already installed". Incidentally, with Kies the Note appears in Windows explorer as one device, but with Samsung drivers the two SD cards appear as two separate drives. Finally I found that Kies takes a good while to respond and recognise the Note, and sometimes you have to go through the "Troubleshoot device connection" procedure several times before Kies suddenly wakes up and finds the device. (I'm not 100% certain about the label on the button as I'm not on my sync PC at the moment.)

Thanks a million for pointing me to this. The reason I went to such lengths to keep Kies was because I couldn't find anything else that would sync my contacts, tasks and schedule with Outlook over USB. I'm going to check this out!
Guys,
I don't understand why we have to install Kies. With my laptop at home, Kies is not installed, it recognizes the phone (internal memory, and microsd) without any issues.
At the office I have Win 7 (32 bit), this is more recent than XP Pro however it does not work.
The Note should be detected without any softs (Kies etc)...
As I said, you don't have to install Kies, but your system does need drivers for the device, be they from Kies or wherever. Windows includes its own versions of lots of drivers, and it may be that your installation of Windows XP has drivers it at least "thinks" are the right ones for the device, whereas your installation of Windows 7 doesn't. And this wouldn't be the first time Windows 7 failed to do something that XP did OK.
I called the Samsung Benelux support yesterday. They told me to turn 2 features on in control panel/applications: Microsoft.NET Framework 3.5.1 (check 2 boxes). Then install Kies and then plug the usb cable. Tried it several times, does not work...
What do you need to do?
Kies = drivers + software to sync Note with PC (among other things);
Just drivers = if you (say) want to connect to your Note with PC Odin.
Kies indeed requires .NET framework if I remember correctly. But if you just need to "see" your Note's file system from the PC (like with PC Odin) then installing Kies is probably more trouble than it's worth.
Mobisynapse, suggested by Eira007 several posts ago, will also have to install drivers to work. I haven't got it yet as I'm still trying to get the website to accept my credit card.
Sorry to ask but what is PC Odin ? What does it do ? I just need my Win 7 laptop to see my Note. Currently it does not. I have tried with/without Kies and Mobisynapse. Still does not work. XP Pro sees my Note without any softs.
64 bit win 7, home premium.. I downloaded the win 7 usb driver from the sticked post on the Q/A forum..

I use Windows 7 64Bit and have no trouble at all. Make sure you are plugging the phone directly into a motherboard usb slot, otherwise - yes, you'll want to kill someone.
.. what do you mean motherboard usb slot.. my computer has 4 usb slots.. all of them do the same exact thing.. just charge the phone.. I have installed files for this thing left and right and no MMS, it doesn't show it on my computer.. and in device manager it says something about base system device.. their are two listings for it.. I am not sure why.. I uninstall them and they pop back up after scanning for hardware changes.. I am doing everything I can not to throw this phone in the garbage
windows update isnt finding any drives for them.. it just says failed.. not sure why..
sigh.. this is a head ache from hell.. just need someone whos had this problems advice
Dl drivers directly Samsung. I think the proper Samsung drivers end in .4.5. You could also try the drivers from the note or s3, ends in .4.6 (but that's a longshot). Make sure you have a good cable. Clean the usb port on your phone with compressed air. Check usb pins on phone for malformation.

can you directly link me to the driver? The phone charges on the usb port so I doubt its a damaged port or cable connection problem.
nevermind, it was the cable.. lol...
Use drivers from Samsung or ones posted here. Don't ever use MS's drivers! I use win7 x64 boot camp on my MacBook even and haven't had an issue. (I know it was cable, just sayin)

So I've run into a weird issue that was happening with my Atrix HD the last few days of its life too and now over to the note on my laptop.
I know this is probably a more computer specific problem, as it's recognized on my desktop but I'm running outta ideas here so maybe someone can help?
I've been flashing and rooting and all that jazz since android was released so I know how to work it and my thinkpad was accepting mtp/android connections as recently as september. I unlocked my Atrix HD bootloader and all that but couldn't get the phone to accept the twrp so eventually I just gave up because it was just a stop gap phone.
But now with my new Note 3, I can plug the phone to the laptop and it'll charge but it doesn't bring up the MTP notification (all my androids do this now)
I've checked device manager, it's not even an unknown device in the list..so weird.
Anyone run into this issue before? I know it's not really phone specific but yeah.
thanks in advance
Are you using it on a USB 3.0 port? My home pc only recognizes mine if it's plugged into USB 2.0. Fought this same fight last night myself. Good luck.

Do you guys have BC 1.1 enabled on your machines? If so that's why the 3.0 port doesn't work.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk 5
to both of you, my thinkpad (for some awful reason) doesn't have usb 3.0, so no there isn't any USB 3.0 issues.
Literally plug it into my laptop, and nothing. no response from the computer at all not even in device manager, just starts charging as if the phone was plugged into a low voltage socket or something.
baffling.
works absolutely fine on my desktop, but I don't have all my adb and sdk tools set up the way I like them on there.
I have no idea.
ERR edit that it just started working :/ weirdd
Verizon note 3 here - same issue.
Do you guys have any programs that's suppose to charge devices faster with usb? It has to be software related on your laptop

To everyone with this problem, you have to specifically download the Note 3 drivers from Samsung
samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SM-N900VZWEVZW
I was having the same problem, but now both Kies and manual usb file transfer work perfectly on Windows 8
I have same problem here as well ?? its not reconizing my phone in usb 3.0 and i have the newest drives as well for note 3 gn 9005
got it working
Had the same problem after trading in handset,maybe there is some kind of hardware identifier messing things up for usb?
I removed (uninstalled and deleted) drivers for usb, including for hub then reinstall hub drivers followed by reinstall driver option in Kies3 to install samsung drivers. This got everything working.

Your going to mess your phone up some kind of bad playing with those settings if you don't know what your doing. Also please don't recommend doing any of that without a trustworthy source because you can cause another person to mess up their phone as well.
The Note 3 does NOT support BC 1.1. That's what "Fast Charge" or whatever they call it is. Your phone will not use that connection so there is no workaround, just disable the BC 1.1 function.

Yes I stand corrected however I always mess with these settings in order to unlock 90% of the gsm galaxy lineup. This is just a different way of mounting your phone to the computer at least that is what I was told and have been doing for a while. I have tried all the methods on the note 3 and so far no problem. I have been using my phone like this for a while without any hiccups and I had this usb problem since day one on my SAMSUNG laptop so I tried this method which worked. You can easily switch back to the same setting but once again you might be right about the messing up your phone part. FYI MTP just stands for media trasnfer protocal I think so I went with it after a little research.
Just letting everyone know what worked for me no harm done

I tried installing the drivers from samsung with no luck and then tried this and no luck either. GOD DAMNIT! Why is google making it harder and harder to do this ****? Why can't it be as simple as moving files to another other usb drive like it used to be.
IT works!!it actually works..
what i did was,,download kies 3,supported kies for note 3, and go to Tools tab, and see the option "reinstall device driver" dont unplug your note 3,,and voila!!just wait a while, and see how the kies recognize ur note 3..:laugh:
Android3220 method works for me using Note 3, Windows and Kies. Thank ypu.

Do you plug it in USB port 3.0 or in 2.0? Mine, either port are not working
Try using a USB hub,,, 2.0 or 3.0.... this will work......
Go to device manager then to USB find the Samsung driver uninstall. Plug your note 3 in then your system will see your note 3 and reinstall your drivers. Then your good to go.

From what I remember I had tried both and neither worked before re-installing as described
I have been away from XDA for a while, however, I saw a Lollipop update for the Note 3. I went and updated, however, during the process I lost safestrap and the phone is Soft Bricked. It will boot into Stock Recovery and the Samsung logo.
The issue I am having is my USB port isn't being detected. I have re-installed numerous driver packages and tried every cable I own, 10 different cables. I also installed Windows to dual boot on my Mac and tried to see if maybe it was my wife's PC. Nothing is showing up in Odin and it shows as a unrecognized device.
I do recall a year or two ago, their being a cable you could buy that would rectify all of this and I cannot remember it for the life of me.
Anyone have any ideas on what I can try to get the Note 3 booting back like normal before I go and buy a new phone?
Thanks!

I might just be spitballing here, but I've had issues in the past using the USB ports on the front of my pc. Once I discovered that, I always used the ports on the back of the pc without any issues. Just a thought...

Yeah I have tried every USB port on the Mac and PC. I am certain I will have to buy a new phone since the USB isn't being recognized. Also to be noted, I have not been able to mount the Note 3 USB as a Media device to transfer to/from since I bought it used.
