Help USB problem - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got a Galaxy S3 a few days ago, everything was going fine. Transferring music to my phone from my MacBook Pro using Android File Transfer. Half way through the app stops transferring and I have to force quit on my laptop. Now when I reattach my usb cable I get the following message: "No Android device found Please connect your Android device with a USB cable to get started" My cable is connected, my phone is charging, but the phone is not showing that it is connected (no usb in notifications, can't choose between MTP/PTP...) So I can't continue to transfer my music I restarted both my MacBook Pro and phone. I tried to see if its my phone by connecting to my dock in my car and everything works fine, my Car Home Ultra app opens and works fine. HELP please. How can I get my phone to recognize my cpu via USB? It was working fine, but now nothing other than charging. I read on another thread too toggle USB debugging in developer options, tried both to no avail. Help please, I am an Android noob.

[Q] usb connection issues to car stereo, and phone turns off in debugging mode

yesterday i succeeded with connecting the sg2 to my car stereo via usb,
using the following instructions
usb debugging mode off
while Idle then I go to usb utilities and press connect to storage pc
then I connect the usb cable
yesterday it worked fine, although i was bummed it did not read the music on the external sd card, just the music that is stored on the 16 Gb built in sd card, what a bummer.
BUT today i could not connect it and my car stereo gave me usb N/A
i tired to connect my experia play and my iphone and both worked and connected immediately via usb to my car stereo withut any hassles,
what is wrong here, and why only do i face that with the S2.
I also noticed 2 days ago that every time i connect my phone to the computer and usb debugging mode is on after i disconnect the drives from the computer and then press disconnect from my phone the phone turns off. I did a hard reset hoping it would solve the problem and also formatted my external sd card to fat 32 but still no solution. I have installed kies on my laptop and it identifies the note successfully. Why does the note keep turning off when I disconnect it from my laptop or computer
I really need to solve this as I depend on listening to music in my car using the usb cable as listening to the music directly from the sg2 via 3.5mm cable is really bad on my stereo compared to using the note as storage card.
I was so put down when I compared the same song being played from xperia play with the sg2 using poweramp with the same settings, as the sound coming from the xperia play was good compared to the sg2 which was awful. In this comparison both phones where connected via 3.5mm cable to the car stereo, so I have no choice now to only listen to music using the note as a storage card by connecting it to the car stereo via usb cable
this is when I miss the iphone when everything works out of the box, and I don't have to struggle like this
Please help me in solving this as its driving me crazy

No longer able to connect USB devices (such as a mouse or keyboard etc..) via OTG cab

For some reason I am no longer able to connect any USB devices to my Samsung Galaxy S3 via OTG cable. I get the notification at the top which says it recognises what I am plugging in so if I plug in a mouse it pops up with the "USB Inserted" notification and next to it it says "Mouse". The problem is though everything I try doesn't work anymore and it does nothing. I've seen on YouTube other people using Keyboards, Xbox360/Playstation 3 controllers and Mouse's all they do is plug in there device via OTG cable and away they go it instantly recognises whatever they plug in and works straight away without root or installing anything. The first time I tried connecting a mouse a few weeks ago it worked perfectly but I tried other devices that day and a mouse is all i could get to work, and now the mouse doesn't work along with everything else I've tried. Does anyone know any reason why I cant get anything to work?

I know this is an old thread but any solution?

Problems with OTG connected USB devices

Ok, so has anyone else had problems with this..
when you plug in an OTG connected usb device (i have the same problem with usb drives and midi controllers so far) and in the notification bar pull down it will say charging usb device, and when you choose to switch it to something else, like transfer files or connect a midi device, it just goes right back to charging the device after changing it for a few seconds or until you tap the screen or check it again.
This has completely stopped me from being able to connect a midi device, and causes the usb drives to get hot, although I can still transfer files in an 3rd party file manager, but the notification bar will never stay in tranfer mode, and it has never gone into midi mode at all.
This is not an issue with my OTG adapter, as I also have the same problems with borrowed adapters, as well as using DEX. In fact in dex, if I plug in a usb drive and switch to transfer files mode it will crash. Has anyone else experienced these problems? Are any of these apps for OTG management in the play store useful for this? They seem to be useless based on the reviews except for testing a UTG adapter. Thanks!
btw I don't have root, my note 8 is fully updated to BQLA version.
Hi, check the battery! If internal resistance goes up so does noise.
Check the cable and connector on the phone as well.

S9+ not recognizing USB C Drive

I've been trying to find information about this on the web but I've failed to do so.
I bought a Kingston Micro duo USB C 3.0 and it worked a couple of times (I had to manually change to MTP) using the USB C connector straight on my S9+.
I've been trying to get it working again on my phone with no luck. Everytime I connect the USB C end on my phone, it will show on the notification tray "Usb charging device" and "USB connector connected", this last one will disappear in a matter of seconds.
I've set the default to be MTP using Developer Options and even select MTP for the device once it connects, but it just reverts its status.
I know for a fact the USB C end works because I can connect it to my computer (Windows and MacOS) and I've tried formatting it using a lot of different formats, still when I connect the USB C to the device it doesn't read it.
I managed to get the drive working using my USB C dongle (Which has 2 USB A 3.0, but no power passthrough) and connecting the USB A side to it and my phone recognized the drive instantly! So I formatted the drive using my phone, connected the USB C end on the device and it doesn't recognize it.
It seems it's just a bug on the Samsung device or something. I guess Samsung is moving towards USB C but they are not thinking on all the stuff you can connect.
I found this link https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...g-defaults-to-charge-other-device/td-p/183539 and this other https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/note-8-usb-otg-t3680207 but so far no solution.
Edit:
I just tested my drive with an S8 and it worked without issues (the USB C end) and was able to test it on another S9's and they don't recognize it.
Mine works without issue. Not sure what's happening with yours sadly. Edit - mine's the Micro Duo 3C, but I can't imagine there'd be much difference.
Same here. Today I had hard times getting to work my USB stick and a default dongle. Every time I inserted the dongle the notification goes "USB charging device" and changing to "transfer files" doesn't change anything. Playing a bit made a 32gb stick visible in a file manager (namely x-plore) and I was able to transfer files to it. But no PC recognizes the stick so far...
