Can't connect my phone to PC - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I'm not getting the usb icon on my notification bar when I plug my phone into my pc. It's charging my phone but I can't access it through my pc. USB debugging is on as well.

Are you still on Blazer 4.1?
Try a different USB port. If you are using KIES, remove it and try installing the full Samsung Driver Suite:
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...342248/Sprint_d710_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0.exe
If you have access to one, try a different cable as well.
Edit: If you have one, have you tried restoring a backup yet? BTW, you haven't messed with changing your PRL have you?

Try it usb debug off. worked for me.

I had the same problem running cm9 and I tried all the uninstalling and reinstalling of kies and all drivers and nothing worked. I eneded up having to just do a clean install of another rom. I dont know what rom you are on but I would suggest trying that if all else fails.

[Q] USB Connection Problem Galaxy W

I am having a problem when I connect my phone to PC. I get the attached screen after connecting the cable, and the phone memory drives never show up.
(dark blue screen that shows date and time "Alarm", "Music", "Gallery", and "Voice Search at the bottom)
It happens both in debugging and non-debugging modes. Also, the GPS icon on top of the taskbar starts blinking shortly after connecting. MTB connecting does not start.
I have no idea where this page comes from!!
Thanks
P.S.-Sorry that I could not embed the image here in this post since I have posted less that 10 posts in this forum.
You got USB drivers installed on PC.....is it Windows....or Mac?
What do you see if you pull down Notification Blind?
What is the symbol on the top left Notification ?
Does PC give any message regarding drivers when phone connected, with USB debugging selected on phone?
Are you using supplied micro USB cord?

The USB drivers are fine, It was working before on this PC.
I can not pull down the Notification bar like I do on normal screen.
The symbol on left was for SetCPU notification. I have flashed the stock ROM again and everything is clean, problem still exists.
PC gives no message, even the phone does not charge!
I am using the original USB cable.
Thanks
OK.....I no like this:

Sounds HW related problem!!!
You try different USB ports, different cords, different PC or Laptop....just to eliminate everything but the phone!!!
Can ODIN see phone, in Download Mode?? Here also you need USB Debugging selected.
Something like this, left box should be Yellow:

The only thing that I need to try is a different cable.
It also looks HW issue to me.
I could connect it in Download mode to flash the stock ROM after several connecting and disconnecting the usb cable.
I may take it for warranty tomorrow. Is flashing the stock ROM is enough to have the phone looks like factory defaults. It looks unrooted and no recovery mode now.

it may just be the cable/usb cord!!!
I'd say if you are now on Stock FW, and have restored Stock Recovery, and un-rooted, you are OK for Warranty.......
Let us know how you get on,
Cheers.
Yes It was cable. it works fine with another cable.
Thanks

Win doesn't recognize my Defy

Hello,
I've a big issue, if I try to connect the phone, via usb, to the pc windows none of the devices recognize the connection.
Nothing appear on the Defy. On the Pc, sometimes appear the "new device windows" but if I try to install drivers it show me an alert saying that the device is not installed correctly.
I've tried all the motorola drivers available but nothing happen. I've also tried 2 other pc and 2 other usb cable
Fortunally, the device is rooted and I can install a nandroid backup but I don't know how I can resolve this issue, someone can help me?
Thanks

Enable / disable USB debugging maybe? But normally there should be a prompt on the phone when you plug it in (pulling down the status bar usually asks you what to do, give memory card access, charge only...). Btw, does the Defy charge when plugged in or does the LED light up?

Tried but nothing change. The phone doesn't charge correctly and no prompt message if I connect it to the pc.
And it is definitely not the cable and / or the USB port? Then it has to be a hardware problem on the phone's side I think.

There's a way to reinstall all the Defy driver without the cable?
Try installing new moto drivers.

Charging didn't work if I connect the phone to the pc, it's strange because if I connect to the electrical power it works.
I also think that I've had an issue when I've installed the custom firmware

Windows won't recognize t989

Hello all!
First: I promise I searched the forums and google as hard as I could!
I'm running AOKP JB with CWM, although the problem was present on stock ICS from T-Mobile.
Symptoms: Computer and phone will refuse to acknowledge any connection (nothing shows up in Device Manager), except the phone will still charge. If I do the "remove the battery with USB plugged in" trick, the first time I do it, it will recognize an unknown device, but kies and adb won't recognize it. If I unplug it and plug it back in, it'll go back to not acknowledging any connection.
I previously programmed it (when I was still running stock ROM) via ADB via WiFi, but I need to be able to use ADB via USB. Besides, I can't seem to get ADB over WiFi anymore.
When I plug it into a different computer (Win7), it will, however, recognize my phone.
Earlier this year, before I ever tried programming via WiFi, it connected to my Win8 machine with no problem. I don't think it's a problem with the wifi setup though because the ROM was reinstalled and of course I've restarted ADB in USB mode in the months since...
What I've tried:
Reinstalling Kies
Reinstalling Samsung USB drivers
[^]Restarting the ADB server
Updating ADB
Trying different USB cables
Trying different USB ports
Toggling USB debugging
Toggling MTP mode
The UART thing from the dialer
Restarting the phone and the computer (of course)
Checking to see if my computer's USB drivers need to be updated
The android terminal command "setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb"
Pulling and replacing the battery while connected via USB
Crying in a corner
If anyone can help me, it'd be greatly appreciated! I'm all out of ideas and Google is no longer helpful =/
try to uninstall the drivers that are present anything samsung related to your drivers ... then connect the phone and let the process do its thing if you have the samsung drivers saved on your PC and the drivers still aint working update the drivers and then manually click where the drivers are to install them and hopefully it will work and when you tried MTP is it the only option it gives you no storage or anything ??... and is usb debugging on when you are trying all this ??

I tried on my work computer that didn't have any samsung drivers and when the "unknown device" dialog popped up it didn't do anything or install anything, nor did it show up in Device Manager. Unplugging and replugging it back in did not reproduce the dialog box. Togged USB Debugging and still no dialog box saying it recognized it.
The thing with the samsung drivers is that they're self installing so even if it popped up in Device Manager, I wouldn't be able to manually update the drivers =/
I tried MTP both with and without USB Debugging, although it also gives the option for PTP.
At this point do you think I should unroot and go back to stock? It's not been recognized on three computers now! =[
Are you using the stock cable? My computer wouldn't recognize mine without it.

Both the stock cable and a generic cable.
Similar problem
Similar problem as the OP. And hi guys, it's nice to be on these forums.
My device, when I plug it in using the stock cable, doesn't even charge. It doesn't show up in device manager, nor does it give me a notification, or say it's unsupported and bear that yellow icon. I have tried using different USB ports, I have tried the toggling USB debugging, I have tried restarting phone, computer, and taking out battery. I have tried that PDA/MODEM dialer trick. I am using 4.1.2 Jellybean, not rooted. (that WAS my goal,, until I hit this roadblock) I have not connected it to the computer in the past, it's relatively new. I'm thinking the cable is bust.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. It charges fine through a wall outlet plug, be it generic or stock.
so guys ive come to a conclusion i think its something in the samsung usb cables try getting yourself a blackberry usb cable , TRUST ME !!! ever since i got my phoness etc... tablet and yadi yadi samsung usb cables have always seemed to give me problems i think its because they are multi data/charging cables and when using the blackberry usb cable i have never ever once encountered a problem with any of my phones sd/storage problems do yourself a favor and pick up one of those cables and you will be golden !! if not then i guess im the only lucky one :LOL here you go http://www.amazon.com/Blackberry-Travel-Adapter-Micro-Cable/dp/B004VMVSYK/ref=pd_sim_cps_2 5 bucks!
Edit also one more test boot into recovery and click in the advanced menu and see if mount usb works for you in recovery mode ??
FIX (try using a generic cable)
I actually solved it on my own! After borrowing a generic cable from a friend it booted up! The Samsung cable was just not doing its thing.
yeah im telling you those cables they provide are JUNK!!! i only use my samsung to charge because they do that well but data they are str8 CRAP!! glad you got it up and going
OP
Hope OP will have the same luck as me...pray to the Android gods...

[Q] Can't connect to the PC

I have had issues connecting the Note 4 to my PCs. I have tried multiple cables and computers. A usb error appears "Usb Device not recognized" "The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and WIndows does not recognize it." All PC's are running windows 8. I have tried connecting it via fastboot to flash to stock as well as through ADB and I cannot get anything to read the device.
Are you using the oem cable? Sometimes cheap generic cables give errors. Enable usb debugging and see if that helps. Good luck.

Thanks but I've tried multiple. OEM and aftermakert cables. I found that when I put it in the charger it doesn't detect it as AC. I believe for some reason when the phone is connected to the PC it doesn't switch to MTP, which could cause the issue. I have wiped the phone, tried different roms, and installing plasma kernel. I am at my wits end. I have tried finding sprint's seceret number to dial, supposedly there's a menu to force MTP but I can't find it anywhere.
OK. So I couldn't connect via cable I tried flashing the stock image though mobile odin and now I lost recovery and the phone bootloops. Does anyone know a way to boot into recovery from the external SD card?
I would just flash the OF5 tar and start from scratch. http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...om-sm-n910p-stock-of5-odin-flashable-t3158114
Sounds like it's your computer.
Edit: Any other phone's Samsung or not able to connect? Does your phone charge with any or all of your cables? Hopefully the stock cable.
You need to go to Device Manager and Uninstall/reinstall the drivers pertaining to USB
Uninstall the samsung drivers
After that, unplug your powercord from the laptop
connect the phone to your usb port first and then replug your powercord and turn on your laptop
let the usb and samsung drivers reinstall(auto or manual)(if it detects it normally))

I was able to get my Note 3 to connect with no problem, I was even able to get ODIN to detect it in Fastboot. I have one more cable I am going to try tonight, I have my girlfriend bringing it with her. I may have switched an S4 cable with the Note 4 cable. I hope this is the case.

I was using my desktop, and I tried this on my laptop. Didn't work. Thanks though! I am wondering if this possibly could be a Windows 8.1 issue...
Anyways, 5.50 to anyone who gets this working.
I accidentally switched cables with my son's s4 and nothing would work. Figured it out and then I could connect to my computer. Could be the same thing lol.

I'm on 8.1 pro, and my devices detects fine under cm12.1.
Have you tried going into Settings > Storage. select the 3 dot menu on the top right and force MTP or PTP detection while device is connected to PC / Laptop?

Is the device in a UBS 2 port, or 3 port? Sometimes USB 3 still doesn't work for 'regular' card readers.
Have you tried to remove the driver from the device Manager and then start all over? Or update the driver?
