Question S22 not visible in Windows device manager over USB -> can't transfer files - Samsung Galaxy S22

Hello,
my new S22 is not visible in device manager so there's no way to enable file transferring, only charging works when connected to my Windows 10/11 PC.
Also the "USB for file transfer" notification below is not visible at all for me:
https://imgur.com/rr13tI9
I have tried with 2 different cables and 2 different PC (Windows 10 & 11).
File transferring works fine with S21.
I have tried enabling USB debugging, and installing the latest Samsung USB Drivers from https://developer.samsung.com/android-usb-driver
I have checked the "default USB configuration" is set to "Tranferring files" and *#08080# is set to "MTP + ADB".
Only "Link to Windows" (the problem with this is you can see only 2000 latest photos) and Samsung Dex works.
Is my brand-new phone defective ?

This may sound stupid, but flip the cable over and plug it in. Yes, I know, it doesn't (or shouldn't) matter which way you plug in a USB-C cable. Not all USB-C cables are created equal.
I've had this happen to me. It wouldn't recognize my phone, but when I flipped it over and plugged it in, it worked.
I had to go through all of my cables to check for this. I tossed the ones that caused this phenomenon. It seemed to be all of my older cables I had purchased when I had a Note 8.

Use adb push and pull

Is USB debugging on?
If so did you grant the computer authorization?

My USB-C -> USB-C stopped being recognized, hade to go with USB-C -> USB for computer to recognize it again. Device is S22 Plus.

Solved! I tried a 3rd cable and it started working.
So my original S22 USB-C cable is faulty, as only the charging works.

Yes, my S22 also works with only few cables (I have tried like 10pcs including completely new ones and like 1/3 is working). Samsung is restricting from using other cables for other purposes then charging. Its not the cable fault. They are working with other phones and charging S22 properly. Its just something between heaven and hell why Samsung is trying to f*ck us and make our daily lives more complicated...

[Q] cant connect to computer

my Evo wont connect to CPU any more ive tried reading all the other threads but still not working
I just want to flesh out some of the details here.
Is the phone charging when you plug it into the computer?
Is there any activity from your PC or the phone when you select "Disk Drive" from the USB menu? (Like maybe a USB error/not connected sound in Windows).
Are you able to access or see it through ADB using the SDK?
Does it work on any other computers?
Have you done anything recently? Did it just happen today?
usb connection not working
I'm having the same problem--my original usb cable was damaged, and I just bought a new (generic) one. Does the EVO require a special type of cable rather than just a standard micro usb?
Here's the details:
USB Debugging is enabled.
Phone is set to ask for connection type (default is disk drive).
Phone charges when plugged into the PC but the computer doesn't recognize it.
In the notification bar, there is the usb debugging icon, but not the other one that usually says charge only/disk drive, etc.
ADB doesn't see the phone.
So far I haven't been able to get to another computer to see if it does the same thing. I tried disabling usb debugging, no effect.
update
Ok, yesterday I got my phone replaced because the screen was damaged. I also got a new usb cable; this one specifically for the EVO. Same thing. I plug it into the computer, and it charges, but the PC doesn't recognize it, and the phone just seems to think it's plugged into an AC adapter. The phone is set to ask what to do whenever I connect it to a PC. Since this is a brand new phone and cable, I would think this would have to be a computer issue, but the PC doesn't seem to recognize that anything has even been connected.
Update: solved--it was the usb port. For some reason the usb ports on my pc case stopped working; plugged into one of the back panel ports and it works fine.
Any microsd cable will work, I'm using my palm pre's now, my htc cable went out a month ago.
I
Chevk device manager whole you are plugging your phone in. just in case there is some bad driver issue, it should show there.

they should be the same one as the epic no?

what drivers are you refering to? are you trying to access your USB storage inside the phone on your computer or what are you trying to do? which USB drivers are you refering to?
Connect to the computer with usb debugging disabled. It will install a driver, then unplug, enable usb debugging, and you should be able to see it with adb

I did actually, and Kies couldn't see the phone.
Also, the phone did not see a USB connection, though it was charging
per the documentation I tried to mount as mass storage device through Wireless and Networking. This didn't do anything either, phone still charges.
I had borrowed the USB cable from a co-worker, I had him plug it in to his phone, and it works just fine, just XP machine sees his phone.
Turns out, its something with the cable.
rummaging around for another cable, I noticed I had my XOOM and its cord with me. Its the same type, but its the Moto brand one (if that makes it any different?)
plugged it in instead just for ****s and giggles. It works.
Phone just doesn't like his cable for whatever reason.
Now Win7 sees the phone, and Kies sees it (doesn't like the debugging mode but whatever)
His cable was an LG branded one. Any one know if there's something different?
I've tested 2 LG branded usb cables and they do not work. Same thing you described.
I found it in pull it out half way the phone recognizes USB and the computer sees the phone but if I try to transfer files I get a "device disconnected" error... Or something like that. I can see the files, just can't touch 'em.
I could not believe that the cable is have been using on tons of devices for years wouldn't work only on this one. I'd sooner believe it was the computer. So I grabbed a coworkers much newer LG branded cable and same thing... I still didn't believe it after testing 2 cables on 3 computers... Though I had a hunch from the first second I plugged it in I still can't believe it... And then I read this.
Explanation please, lol.

I downloaded Kies as well, and it did install a driver called "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device", but I don't think this is what I need (trying to root).
Whenever I open Odin w/ the phone connected, no COM port mapping number displays...

Have you considered getting your USB adapter/port checked for issues? It could be possible that the adapter no longer has the ability to send data, but only charges the E4GT when connected; try using another USB port on your computer.

Tried all ports --- updated all drivers... even formatted my computer... its definitely the phone.
I have three computers here and none of them are working with it --- and the weirdest thing that I just noticed === it seems like its just showing the charging animation... I left it plugged into my computer when it was supposedly charging, screen turned off, check back in 20 minutes and it had gone down by 20% --- it's just like its triggering the charging animation
If your phone will charge but won't transfer data, there is a strong possibility it is actually a problem with the cable. I tested 3 LG micro-usb cables which all worked fine with an LG phone, but would not transfer data with the Epic 4G Touch. The would only charge. I thought my USB port was busted at first also because I tried 3 different cables and this is the first time I've encountered a situation where micro-usb cables were not universal.

Weird case of Galaxy Nexus not connecting to USB ports

Hello all, I'm having what I would like to call one of the weirdest cases of USB troubles.
For some reason unknown to me, my Galaxy Nexus will simply not connect to my computer's front USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports whatsoever. It will simply throw the "USB device not found" message and if I'm blessed with a unicorn's presence, it will connect and show my Galaxy Nexus's file system and disconnect whenever it wants, specifically when transferring a file to the phone. Awkwardly enough, this only occurs on OEM Samsung cables, both on the original cable that came with the phone and a new one that I just purchased off eBay a couple of days ago. I have used the cable that came with my ASUS Nexus 7 (first gen) and it connects perfectly. The driver will install successfully and hold a connection until I physically disconnect it. I even gave the cable that came with my HTC G2 a try and the same thing. However, I decided to test this on two other computers, a school computer and a Dell machine I have at home and both of those machines will hold a perfect connection with the Samsung cables. Although I haven't tested it yet, I'm sure it will connect just fine to my laptop and to the USB ports located in the back of the computer (directly to motherboard)
If it helps any, the computer that is having troubles is encased in a Fractal Design Define R4. I'm thinking it could be a faulty USB header but other devices such as my Nexus 7 and various USB flash drives have connected without any issues. I have used USBDeview to uninstall the Galaxy Nexus driver and I have unchecked USB debugging to "ensure" a clean installation. At this point, I'm lost between re-installing Win7 or calling Fractal for what could be a very specific issue against my Galaxy Nexus.
Anybody have an idea on how to solve this? Much thanks in advance!

Yeah it sounds like a faulty usb cable. I have cables too that just won't hold a connection. Make sure you have "usb debugging" checked though when you want to use adb.
What I almost always use these days is wireless adb connection.
Go to settings >> developer options and check "ADB over network". Then in a terminal on your computer, "cd" to the directory you keep adb or adb.exe and type "adb connect 192.168.0.3" (or whatever ip is listed in settings >> developer options).

Thanks for the steps in regards to wireless ADB connection. As much I really want to say it's a faulty cable, I can confirm that the cable will provide a stable connection to the Dell machine I have sitting around and on the school computers as mentioned in the OP. I even got 2 new OEM Samsung cables and neither of them work on the computer that gives me that message with the Samsung cables. It's so frustrating

Phone isn't recognised by computer nor is my USB C stick

Hello,
I hope someone can help. I am trying to get my computer to recognise my phone. I am not rooted and I have Marshmellow 6.0.1
I unlocked developer options. I bought a cable and it worked! The computer saw my phone. However it stopped seeing my phone. Why I don't know! But when it did work I saw the driver was not for the 5x but from my S4. Well since it's not working I ordered the recommended USB cables by Benson Leung Tech Matte. Still unable to see my phone. Tried cables on another computer with same results. The computer I tried it on recognised my phone and then it also stopped seeing my phone.
I also bought a usb c stick to use on my phone. My phone responds to the stick but when I choose for MTP from charging nothing happens and i cannot access the USB Stick. In Dev options MTP is selected. I also noticed that USB tethering is not available. I have no clue what to try next.

Thanks for the drivers. USB Debugging is on. When I toggled Charging popped up instead of PTP and so I kept toggling and it finally went to PTP and so I toggled MTP and it goes back to charging! So I kept at it until it finally went to MTP. Is this normal? I counted 12 tries before changing from charging to PTP! But the computer doesn't see the phone. I did it a few times

i honestly never thought about this, is this even supposed to work without some kind of an OTG adapter. i mean sure, the plugs fit, put do the pins match/work for that configuration?
from how you describe that your phone reacts i would guess it doesn't, and it sounds more like your phone goes into client, as opposed to host mode.
very interested to see what someone with more knowledge of the matter would have to say about plugging a usb-c memory stick directly into your phone.

I've used several phones on my PC and at first it had a little trouble but finally settled in. Kind of like a new ROM. You have to give it a while to settle in and get its groove on.

not really a surprise there, but what OP described was putting a usb-C stick directly into the phone, without any cables or adapters in between, with the question emerging if that is even supposed to work (which in his case didn't) due to possible problems of the pin-layout, etc.

that does not explain his PC suddenly not recognizing his phone anymore though.
at this point it sounds to me like either there still is a driver issue (e.g. the mentioned S4 driver wan't properly uninstalled), or one of the usb ports (phone or pc) has an issue.
try different ports on your PC and make sure other devices work with the ports. if not try if you can get it to work by applying a little pressure in different directions to the cable and listen out for windows' annoying usb sound.
on the other end make sure your phone really is connected correctly to the cable. it should snap in just like the OEM charging cable which took some time getting used to to overcome the resistence of the usb-c port.

I tried my Samsung Tab II tablet and my old S4 on my PC and they both work as advertised. Recognised right away and I hadn't used my tablet to my PC before. What I think is maybe its the USB on the phone itself?

not really a surprise there, but what OP described was putting a usb-C stick directly into the phone, without any cables or adapters in between, with the question emerging if that is even supposed to work (which in his case didn't) due to possible problems of the pin-layout, etc.
that does not explain his PC suddenly not recognizing his phone anymore though.
at this point it sounds to me like either there still is a driver issue (e.g. the mentioned S4 driver wan't properly uninstalled), or one of the usb ports (phone or pc) has an issue.
try different ports on your PC and make sure other devices work with the ports. if not try if you can get it to work by applying a little pressure in different directions to the cable and listen out for windows' annoying usb sound.
on the other end make sure your phone really is connected correctly to the cable. it should snap in just like the OEM charging cable which took some time getting used to to overcome the resistence of the usb-c port.

I think its the phone itself, since it did work briefly. Also with the USB C thumb drive the phone recognises it but will not read the thumb drive. I ordered it from play store I wonder how getting it repaired/looked at is going work Have to wait until Monday to call!
Hello again,
I Hope you guys like some feedback about my issue. Contacted Google and they asked me just about all the same questions and had me do some screen shots and try some of their ideas such as factory reset, trying other computers and other cables. Nothing worked so they sent me a new phone! Just got it yesterday. Would have been here sooner but I was busy!
So got new phone setup and the computer recognizes my phone on PTP but not MTP. Also my driver for the phone is a generic nexus and the it still shows up as a samsung! How can I get the new driver if when i do a search for new driver my computer says I have the best driver already installed? I don't want the driver to still be a problem. So i hope you guys have some answers. Lol! I know you guys do!!

If you had a samsung phone before you need to uninstall all the samsung drivers then install the proper nexus drivers
I was a little worried about uninstalling the driver but it worked!! Thanks! Now i can root it!!

Can't connect to a PC

Hello everybody
I got no problems in the past with the N4 and the N7 2013, but here, I'm unable to connect the N5X to my pc.
I tried to reinstall drivers (LG or google ones), but unsuccessful.
Windows 10 can't use it (error 43), and disconnect it by itself (i tried to force the drivers i want it to use, but unsuccessful).
For information, when I connect the phone, i didn't get the notification menu where you can choose which connection you want to use (charge, MTP, etc...).
I also tried debugging mode on and off. The same ****.
I suspect my USB C/A adapter . It's a cheap thing I bought on amazon for 3.99€.
Is it possible? Should I buy a cable? (i would prefer an adapter I can have on myself everyday in my wallet to be able to use with all friends cables).
Thanks.
It is that:

Well, it's just the adapter, i use it with the official cable. I will check that, thanks.

Adapters have known issues with working.
You need to get a usb C/A cable.
Make sure you shop around and don't get a cheap one.
It needs to meet USB C specs our you will burn out your phone and/or comp usb ports.
Yeah thanks, i just bought another adaptater (i prefer) recommanded by Benson
Thanks everyone.
