Whatever I do I cannot get my desktop to recognize my VSGS3, all I get is a message saying USB device not recognized. I have tried everything from installing drivers, to turning my pc on and off, phone on and off, etc. The VSGS3 worked out of box on my W8 laptop, but I need to connect to my desktop!
Try using a different USB port on your desktop!?!?

So everytime that I go to connect my TB to the computer via usb, it freezes my computer up. I have HTC Sync installed. When I connect to my computer, what option should I choose? If I choose a different one, it does not matter, the computer is still frozen. It freezes up the computer to where I have to do a hard restart and its really starting to piss me off.... I also chose the HTC sync option and it searches my computer for it even though I have I installed and running when I connect the USB!!
I am running Windows 7 64-bit.
Help, please!!
Uninstall htc sync and try using the vzw media sync software that's included on the sdcard instead

The VZW Media app thing?
I've been trying to share internet with my SGS2 to my girlfriend macbook air with no success.
I installed kies and driver (via kies internal menus) but when I plug the device with the usb cable nothing happens on the computer.
I tried with or without MTP mode, but nothing happens, even kies doesnt shows any device connected.

Try "easy tether" app.

Thanks, but its a paid solution..
plus, The phone has usb tether built in, so why cant it work?
Anyone?
Its very important for me, but the topic went far far away in the last few pages...
My Galaxy S3 doesn't connect any longer to my PC using a USB cable.
Better said, when I connect it, it makes a sound but nothing else happens, no change in the notification panel, and under settings USB tethering is unselected. Needless to say, my PC does not see the device.
I exclude a cable problem as I have two cables (one original) that were both working. I also exclude a PC problem as the situation replicates on both desktop (Win 7 x64) and notebook (Win 7 32-bit),and the latter has not been updated or had new software installed.
What I attempted:
un/select USB debug mode
un/install Kies
un/install Samsung USB drivers
wipe cache/dalvik/data reset+ format system + restore old backup from CWM
Does anybody have a suggestions on how to proceed? Thanks for your help!
Just on top on my head-do you maybe connect it to or thorugh a usb hub to a pc.
If so try directly into a usb on the pc.

Before I had been using with success a USB hub (only the desktop only, not the notebook), since I have been experiencing the problem I have also tried a USB port to no avail.
As I stated, I am pretty sure the problem lies with the phone, in fact since my original post I have seen a similar thread at here at xda
I tried everything and at the end brought the phone in for assistance.
Turns out the problem is hardware-related, on connector pin was burned. The connector has 4 pins out of which two are sufficient for charging (which is why it was being charged by the pc) but all 4 of them are necessary for the phone to be recognized as usb device.
According to the technician to whom I spoke, it happens occasionally but is not a systemic problem.
Hi everyone.
I got this problem with my Galaxy: when connecting with usb cable to my pc, the phone isn't recognized at first try. Sometimes it starts the explorer on pc but I can see no files in the phone memory nor in sd memory. After unplugging and plugging back again 3 or 4 times it eventually works properly.
Can you help me?

Try to clean USB port in your phone or use different cable.

R: [Q] Usb problem.
Already tried it. I've also tried all the ports on pc..they all get the same problem. May it be because of the lock pattern?

Clean install of USB drivers .

I'm having trouble connecting to my Windows 8 laptop. I have reinstalled USB drivers and whatnot, but usually my phone is not recognised at all. However, if I use SGS3 Easy UMS app from Play Store to toggle MTP off and on while connected to USB I get the PC to recognise my device after a short while. It's so strange.
Usually I just use Samba server to transfer stuff because getting a USB connection is so complicated. USB (MTP) works normally with my Windows 7 PC at my workplace, though.

I'm going to try Easy UMS.
I don't have the possibility to connect wirelessly bc I don't have any wifi router at the moment.
I have tried to connect with the device through USB with fastboot, adb, and just through Windows. It does not show up in the Device Manager at all.
Is this a hardware issue with the device? Seems odd as it was working fine and now it isn't and it has only been sitting on my desk as this isn't my main phone.
By the way I have tried this on 2 different Windows 8.1 computers and one Windows 7 PC.
Try removing all drivers for the phone and reinstalling them and see if it works. Also are there any other phone drivers installed for a different device you may have recently installed? They may be conflicting.

It should still show up in Device Manager regardless of drivers though. Just tested on a computer that has never had a single phone plugged into it and Device Manager still does not detect and devices.
Windows 8.1 has driver issues for the DNA. Though it should have worked fine in Windows 7. But I believe for a device to show up the drivers need to be installed.

try a different cable
The device should still show up without drivers as an unknown device. You can't really mess with the drivers for the device until it shows up. Also on a Windows 7 computer that has never been used before the computer should automatically pickup the device so you can transfer files to/from through Windows Explorer.
I have tried a different cable.
I am starting to think it's a hardware issue with the device itself.
what happens when you connect an OTG cable and a flash drive? Does the activity light on the drive activate?
I have not tried that and I do not believe I have an micro OTG cable. I will have to check when I am back at my place later.
Try installing HTC sync and update it and see if that installs ur correct drivers

Appreciate the replies. It should still detect a device plugged in without drivers/HTC Sync, but I have tried installing HTC Sync and all that anyhow. The PC's can detect other Android devices just fine(HTC One M8 & EVO 4G).

If you KNOW the cable is "good", the port may not be "GOOD". Does the cable work with another device?
The cable is definitely good(tried multiple and they work with other devices). I have been thinking it's the port in the device from the beginning, but was hoping maybe there was something else going on.
