all right, I recently received my phone back from repair shop (screen was damaged) and I've left my original Samsung data cable at my mums place for her to charge her Nokia and I've ordered a new spare one from Amazon for £2.
When I try to connect to the PC, I can browse my folders and copy stuff to and fro from the phone, but the only problem is that Kies doesn't recognise my phone when connected in Kies mode. it says connected on the phone, and connecting in Kies, but never connects!.
I've reinstalled Kies, Samsung drivers, and even Windows Media Player! rebooted my laptop and phone number of times, and still I cannot connect. Also, from what I can remember, when I connected my phone to laptop, it would have installed USB MTP driver. now when I connect it, it doesn't install it. I don't have an USB MTP driver, but I've installed SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe drivers.
Is this cable fault or is Kies acting weird? I suspect its cable fault. What do you guys think? How do I connect my phone to Kies?
As far as I remember, Samsung requires you to use the original cable for use with Kies. I don't know how they detect ist, but they do check. I suspect this to be your problem.
Solution: Call your mum and ask for a cable exchange
Hi, thanks for your help. Can someone link me to a store which sells data cable that can detect phone in Kies?
thanks in advance.
anyone with any info on the cables?
re
hi there i had broplems with my phone and checked usb cable properties to get my phone working.
Noticed that nokia usb cable aint using pin 4 or 5 so you shuold get a cable with every pin in use.
err.. what? that didn't even make sense to me.
I was asking if anyone knew any online retailer who could sell me galaxy s cable so that it could be used with kies?
surely someone knows where to buy an original cable!
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
My Sprint Flex is unable to connect to PC. I am only able to browse files through wireless storage mode. However, the phone charges fine when connected to the PC. I am on ZV6 rooted firmware presently. Do you think this could be a software or a hardware problem? Please help me out with your valuable suggestions.
Try a different cable. I had the exact same issue and a new cable fixed it right up.
Thanks. Will do so right away.
Tried several cables. Phone connects erratically. Mostly it doesn't connect at all. Please help with your valuable inputs.
If you have PC, try to find mainboard model, and find a software for it that boosts power through the USB. That software enables Apple stuff to be charged over PC USB, and will provide you probably better stability. For my GA mobo its On/Off Charge, every manufacturer has their own version.
I also had problems with G Flex on some external USB ports.
Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900A from AT&T. For some reason, the device does not charge, neither does the computer recognise it is connected for data transfer. At first, i thought it might have been the port, so i tried another port flex from a similar device which works fine. However, when i changed the flex, the issue still existed. I just thought of trying download mode to see if re-installing the OS will work. The computer did recognise the device as soon as it was connected in download mode. I was able to do the install, but the problem still exists. A friend of mine has an HDMI cable to connect his phone to the TV, so i decided "hey, lemme try it" and surprisingly, IT WORKED. The tv was able to read the phone and everything displayed fine on the TV. However, the cable also has a charge function which did not charge my phone. So i am stuck with usinging an external battery charger for my device. Has anyone encountered this issue with the S5 or any other Galaxy phone? Any solution ideas?

No progress for the query has been made so far
So the story is that i got a samsung galaxy note 5 (n920i) with a broken screen from my sister and it worked fine before. A year later i fixed the phone and wiped the files, cache and stuff i noticed that it did not charge with my aftermarket charging cable (battery was at 0%). I thought the cable was screwed so i used an official samsung one and it started charging. once it started up i did all the startup installation process and such but then i noticed that it would not use fast charge (i have an official samsung fast charge socket) even with the fast charge setting on. so i thought to plug it into my pc but it does not recognise it at all. (device descriptor request failed every time) I used many different ports on my pc and laptop, used many aftermarket and official charging cables, i even used it on devices like the gear vr and a docking station and they dont recognise it either.
I found a post saying to push up the tongue in the charging port which did not fix it, i tried all such drivers and fixes thinking its my pc and/or laptop but no luck, like i said i even used devices like docking station and gear vr and both dont recognise it either. So i just thought it may be the charging port its self and purchased a new one to install(i also got a new battery just incase) . After replacing both the charging dock and the battery successfully it still does not work on my pc nor does it charge properly. it is running on the newest update out right now.
edit: I also lost the little white signal cable for the antenna while replacing charge port but i have purchased a new one and its on the way. (if that causes an issue)
I have tried using samsung kies and smart switch with drivers and it does not recognise it either
I dont know what else to do can someone help me figure it out whats wrong.
Thanks
I have the same problem.
Is there any way to root note 5 n920v without pc?
My phone have a problem that does not connect to pc with usb cable, my last hope is to try to install a new firmware.
By research, i think its a software problem.
