Potential (very annoying) USB connection issue

I went into menu -> settings -> connectivity, and set the USB connection to "Always Ask" when connecting to a computer so that it would ask me if I want to use Charging/Mass Storage/Media Sync/etc. Even with that box checked, no matter what I do, when I connect the phone to my computer, it does NOT ask me what USB connection mode to use. Can anyone else confirm whether or not they experience this problem?
Thanks!
SOLVED - driver conflict with my Samsung Epic. Connecting one then the other wreaks all sorts of havoc.

call Verizon or LG for that support..OR try your control panel windows settings..devices

Is the little USB symbol showing up in the notification bar?
If not...try a different USB port on the computer.
Sounds dumb, i know...but it worked for me today when I had the same problem. And I think I recall it working on my old Incredible.

SOLVED
SOLVED - driver conflict with my Samsung Epic. Connecting one then the other wreaks all sorts of havoc, between mass storage mode and whatnot. When I switch the LG from charge to mass storage and back on the fly, it's doing something to the samsung drivers. When i reconnected my samsung, then the LG again, things went cuckoo for cocoa puffs until I rebooted.

I can't post a new topic as I have less then ten posts but I have an issue with my connectivity as well. When unplugged the phone still shows the USB icon in the top left corner like it is plugged in. However when plugged in the phone will charge but when connected to a computer mass storage mode will not work or show up. I have tried it in windows xp/ osx on my MacBook. Windows 7 on my desktop and nothing. The drivers are good as it was working before. I have done a wipe/data, restored back to cubed 1.1 mod and it is still doing it. It doesn't bug me that bad as I use andftp to move my apostle back and forth from my NAS to sdcard. But I would like it fixed as trying to put music or ISO's for my psx emulator can take a minute over the wifi. Any help would be appreciated.

[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..

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

[Q] What to do when I can't see my HTC One in Device Manager?

Like in the topic. My pc can't seem to notice my HTC one phone. Not at all.
Some details:
PC - Laptop Lenovo Y580
Operating system - Windows 8.1 64 bit
Android - 5.0.2 I think (Lollipop)
My phone notices the cable (asks for internet tethering etc.) but I don't see it anywhere in pc's Device Manager (neither does HTC Sync Manager).
I've tried numerous things. I installed HTC Sync Manager, I've installed HTC drivers separately, reinstalled generic USB driver and drivers for USB 3.0, changed cable, changed port to another USB 2.0, change to USB 3.0, checked if it works on friend's pc (nope), reinstalled almost any of above mentioned things witt antivirus disabled, with firewall disabled, with almost anything that can be disabled. Nothing. It's not that case of wrong driver. My pc don't see this phone at all.
To be honest I'm tired. Like really tired. I've spent all free time I could find last week trying to somehow make it work. With no effect whatsoever. I don't see even slice of progress (noticing SOMETHING in device manager would be nice). I would love to see some way to analise this. I'm getting closer and closer to just buying new phone. Even though I don't want one, but I can't do any testing with this device.
EDIT: Few things I've remembered about my tries: I've tried both USB debugging on and off, and I've also already done factor reset of the phone - to no effect obviously.
When connected to pc, phone can be charged, but PC doesn't react in any way (no "USB connected", popping up HTC Sync Manager or "Media device connected" info).
I'll appreciate any help. Especially if it manages to change something in my situation.
Best regards,
Hisuu

When you plug in your phone to the computer do you get the following:
USB Connected
HTC Sync Manager
Media device [MTP] connected
Can you charge your phone while connected to the computer or do you have to use the wall charger to charge your phone? If you don't see the programs listed above, it sounds like a hardware issue with the USB port on your phone.

No, no and no. My pc seems to not react with anything (neither did friend's pc).

Yes, I can charge phone when connected to PC.
And as I mentioned phone actually notices it's connected to something, and asks what mode to enter (USB tethering, smart network sharing etc.). But it also seems... kinda dodgy. Sometimes phone doesn't react, I have to reconnect or even restart it. Sometimes "USB connected, Tap to change settings" stays... even after I have already disconnected it .
Few things I've remembered about my tries: I've tried both USB debugging on and off, and I've also already done factor reset of the phone - to no effect obviously. (I'll add this info to 1st post to gather info in one place).

Any other ideas?
This topic is my last resort, because I'm out of ideas and start leaning to buying new phone just for testing purposes (either Samsung Galaxy S3 or Nexus4 I guess).

start from scratch: Uninstall HTC sync and all the drivers you have tried. Then install HTC drivers only (not the generic drivers) or install HTC sync and uninstall it but keep the drivers installed (the idea is to have the driver installed but not HTC Sync, we don't want Sync to interact with the phone).
Try another USB cable but make sure its Data enabled (not only a charging cable). Some cheap cables are for charging only, no data connection.
Try another USB port, use 2.0 usb ports, do not use any external usb hub, use th eport directly on your motherboard (at the back of your computer).
Try with another computer
Clean your phone usb port using a cotton swab with some isotropic alcohol and then apply (spray) a light coat of electrical enhancer on your usb port (see your local electronic supplier or even some hardware stores)

Tried other cables (data enabled, they were from different phones), as well as different USB ports (both 2.0 and 3.0). Also tried another pc (no luck).
Uninstalled HTC Sync and drivers so many times I can't count it ;]
I'll try to clean the port and maybe use motherboard on friend's pc (on his machine I've only used front panel). Hopefully something works. Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.

Question Phone USB disconnect loop

Hey guys.
I'm facing the following problem. Whenever a I plug my 12 Pro on the USB (2.0 or 3.0, doesnt matter) on windows 10, I hear the phone connecting, and then disconnecting, the windows file explorer showing the phone storage content pops up, and the closes, the phone disconnects, and connects again, and on and on and on and on.
I have already deleted all my drivers, reinstalled everything, updated windows but nothing worked. Also, have changed all the power options of USB ports. I've tested different ports, different cables, but got nothing. My old Pixel 3XL works perfectly with the same cable and ports.
I'm currently running EU 13.0.30.
*Edit: It happens with any data transfer mode. If I keep the option "no data transfer" on, I can hear the sound of the usb connection, and it charges normally without looping.
Is there any fix for that?

Try to put a USB hub between the PC and the device.

The obvious solution is to keep it on "no data transfer".
You can still use ADB. You can still use AdbSync.exe (in my sig).
That's what I use and I never play with MTP or PTP or UMS.

Question USB problem - PC doesn't see/connect to my mobile.

I've got this problem since last year. I have read about the issue on the internet, no solution provided so far.
When I connect my mobile to any PC, it says 'check your charger connection' as on the screen below.
- I can only transfer files over WIFI which is extremely annoying.
- no problem with charging, all good here, just the problem with recognizing the phone by a computer
- I remember that there should be a menu when you plug usb cable between a mobile and pc, askig you what to choose (transfer, charging etc). It is gone.
- I have tried different cables and different PCs
- USB debbuging is ON but when it is off, nothing changes
- in Developer Options - Default USB configuration - I choose Transferring files, doesn't help
- the usb socket in my phone must be working if it lets me to charge the phone without any problems
- DEX only allowes me to transfer files via WiFi.
Any ideas guys? I am on A13 but it happens since A12.
