Hi ,
I have Samsung Galaxy s3 which was working fine for last 2 months.
Today when i connected my charger it showed as "USB connector connected" same message that comes when i connect OTG cable.
Hence my S3 is unable to charge.
Again my charger is recognized as OTG cable.
It is not rooted its a stock device. Please help. Shall i go to Samsung Service Centre ?? PLs suggest .
Turn off your phone and try plug it again. See if it charging or not.

Hello, struggling to find anything similar to the issue I am having, sure one of you more tech savvy folk could help.
My car a 10 plate golf has a built in media port through which I can charge and use my media devices, however since receiving my S3 I cannot get it to work. The in car system display states 'media device not recognised.'
To work around this I bought an aux jack to jack and plugged in to it that way and this works fine whilst the phone is disconnected. However when I connect the phone to the usb to charge, it automatically defaults to media device not recognised and disconnects the aux.
My old phone had the same issue (HTC desire) however this could be set to usb charge only which would prevent the car system from trying to use it as a media device simply providing charge.
However, I do not appear to have this option on my shiny S3.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could work around this? I do not really want to charge the phone using the cigarette lighter socket as this has fried other devices in the past.
Many thanks.

Hi, Tnx for your reply.
I already tried that.
Following is all what i did :
1. Rebooted couple of times
2. Removed Battery sim card everything
3. Changed my charger and connected with a new charge
4. Tried to connect to PC via usb (USB Charging), but did not work
5. Also a factory reset when nuthing worked
After all the hard work, i had to visit Samsung service and they are saying motherboard will be replaced.
I still dont know how did motherboard got busted, but anyways its free of cost so its cool.
Thanks
QC problem I think. Glad you solved the problem. Enjoy

Potentially the cable or charger is defective, try another one and see if it repeats.
The system recognizes the OTG-cable through a certain pin layout which might be triggered by a defective cable.
Also: you didn't change the ROM or any significant other part (e.g. Kernel) before it first appeared?
@buftybasher: Thread hijacking is considered very rude. Your issue has nothing to do with his.
however since receiving my S3 I cannot get it to work. The in car system display states 'media device not recognised.'

That's because the S3 doesn't have a mass storage (UMS) mode, only a mode specially designed for mobile devices, the so-called MTP.
Most probably your car simply is not capable of supporting this 4-year old standard and relies on the very old mass storage mode with FAT32 partitions.
If you store your music on the external SD card, you might want to take a look at the Easy UMS APK here on Xda, it should make your car be able to access the storage. (Not all kernels support the feature)
it automatically defaults to media device not recognised and disconnects the aux.

If you are any good with a soldering iron, you could open up a USB cable and cut off the 2 middle pins (D- and D+) which are used for data, then solder the corresponding resistance for 1Amp or 0.5Amp charging to the phone's side of the cord.
Voila: charging-only cable.

everything was fine till now with the charger,lately i have this strange charging problem which goes like this..
previously when we connect the wall/usb charger charging used to start immediately but now it takes time..i need to wait for 45 seconds then the light appears..??
previosly it used to attain 100% charge quickly..but now its slogging??i mean very slow trust me...
responds late to the power n then slow charge??????????????
its the same even when i try with usb and the worst part is it doesn even detect usb connection but charge at slow rate??
any ideas?thanks in advance!!
right now im on cobratos 2.3.4 awesome miui rom!!
So you are using APP2SDcard? You are going to have problems mounting it to USB, if the SDCard is already being used.
For the 45 second thing....I donno....do you have any Task Manager app where you can make sure you don't have like 10+ apps running? Check that. Turn all apps off and then try.

Can you unmount the SDCard under Settings->SDCard and Phone Storage?
If you can unmount it....do that....then plug the phone into a computer (using the original USB cable that came with the phone)
And try using different USB ports or a different computer.
It not charging for 45 seconds after you plug it in would make me want to reflash and start from scratch again. Not a good sign.
That is probably what I would suggest next.
Will try with a different computer and let you no...
apart from 45 seconds delay even the charging process has become very slow:-(
Tried even with different usb ports and computer..no luck
Phones usb socket has gone I guess

Yea could do that but still the problem persists
Have you tried changing the usb cable? I was convinced my usb port had gone, as it took ages to recognise the charger, and I often had to wiggle the cable where it was plugged into the phone to get it to start charging.
Then I left my cable at home and had to buy a cheap £1 blackberry charge cable from poundland to charge my phone at work - and all problems went away!
After checking the ends of both cables, it looks like the usb pins have become bent inside the small end of the usb cable (mini-usb end).
I'd doublecheck this before doing anything more drastic as it's a simple thing to overlook (well, I did!)
Yep tried with different cables too..i don't think its the problem of usb port too as there is a late recognition ..slow charging but no sd connection
Hi everyone I just have a question, Is my USB Broken? My USB Data connect doesn't work unless I just keep have to changing the position, Sometime if i put it down it only charges , no USB debugging or anything, When I put more force I get the whole mounting SD and I could use flahtool, but my Charger works flawlessly... It has always chargede my phone .. Is it my USB side not working, or is it just my cable ?
Try a different cable. If it works, great problem solved. If not, most likely a broken usb port.

Same
Sometimes i accidently drop the phone while charging and that may cause problems with usb cable as internal cables may be damaged- now everytime i move the cable it resets the connection with computer...
My poor X10! Will look after it from now on!
I had the same issue and thought my USB port was bad however when I plugged in my bluetooth charger (also micro USB) it charged my phone.. I bit down a little bit on my usb** cable end to give it a tighter connection and voila.. works perfect now.
** I am not responsible for any broken teeth or accidentally swallowed USB cables, nor am I responsible in general
It turns out the micro-USB standard was designed in such a way as to put the parts that tend to wear out quickly in the cable rather than the device connector. This was done to maximize the number of connects/disconnects possible in the lifetime of the jack. This probably explains why cables stop working over time in some cases. (Perhaps the x10 is particularly sensitive)

Great suggestion! I seem to have revitalized my original cable (for charging anyhow, haven't tried connecting to the computer) with this technique. I substituted a pair of needle nose pliers for my teeth, though.

try using a different USB cable, or else try to clean the place where usb connects the phone port. Some dust or sticky material might create hindrance.
Yesterday I plugged my phone into my PC and went to set it to mount as mass storage but the USB connected notification wasn't there. The phone charged fine off the USB, just didn't see the PC.
I thought this may be a PC issue until going to use it on my HD Multimedia dock, phone wouldn't recognize the dock was attached. Then went and tried it in the car dock, same thing, phone charged but didn't go into cardock mode.
Also not sure if this is related but since then battery has been discharging quite quickly.
Please help.

Hi, did you use the original cable ?
I noticed that the cable from my galaxy S II didn't work with the razr droid !

This will probably solve ur problem:
Uninstall all motorola from PC
Reinstall motocast 1.29
Connect ur razr in every mode, and wait it reinstall the drivers.

Thanks, but it's the phone that's not recognizing the usb cable is plugged in. I've tried it on three PCs and the darn thing will only charge, not give usb connection options.
Get a small paintbrush and a can of Dust-Off or other compressed-gas sprayer.
Hold the phone between your knees with the USB port up. Swirl the brush around inside the USB jack while blowing air into it at the same time.
Try it now.
Micro USB jacks have a very nasty habit of collecting pocket lint. It can prevent the cables/plugs on any device from making a solid electrical contact.
This will likely become a routine operation that you perform once a week or so.
You can buy micro-USB rubber plugs that protect a female jack from damage and dirt. You should try the usual places to find one; Amazon, DigiKey, Fry's, JameCo, etc.
If this doesn't get it, you may be looking at either replacing the jack (if you can un/solder very small things), or replacing the phone itself.
PS: If you have geeky friends who like pranks, get a high-powered magnifying glass and check for Scotch Tape on the USB jack contacts. I've done this to an obnoxious iPhone FanBoyz phone before. I confessed before his battery was completely dead...

Did anyone ever find a solution to this? I'm having the exact same issue, have tried clearing out the USB port, different cables and every port on my PC. It charges on connection but doesn't recognise that it is connected to a computer rather than a power port.
Any advice?

Stock. I'm thinking of doing a factory reset as it has been freezing a lot recently and I suspect its a software issue, but I was hoping to do a proper backup first, however I lost root a while ago when I updated to ICS . I don't know if the freezing and not recognising computer could be two sides of the same issue?
Sort of asking for a recommendation for a solution.
So my phone finally died but it died before my new phone got here.
Battery drained really fast.
Always had to wiggle the USB cord
NO dust in the USB port
Then just stop charging.
!) I think it's the usb because it wont charge.
2) Cant mount the phone onto my computer (therefore cant transferfiles)
Solution:
1) Buy a flex cable for the USB
- will my computer then be able to recognize the phone ?
2) Buy an external charger
- but what if it's the battery. and a external charger is pricier than the flex cable
3) What other things can I do ??
Taking the data out. and or transfering the data to my GS4
1) Once I get power onto my phone i guess I can try to mount it onto my new phone.
2) Upload everything, (but that's not really normal )
3) BLUE TOOTH !! LOL
4) What else ?
You can transfer files over Wi-Fi. Use drop box or air droid or some program like that. It's a little more time-consuming than using the USB transfer, but it'll get the job done.
As far as the battery goes, if you can't borrow someone's phone to charge it up, then I guess an external charger is the most likely solution. If the USB port is actually bad, then a new USB cable won't solve the issue.

I would try taking it into an AT&T store and seeing if they have a spare cable to try charging it. Just tell them your situation. After its charged (if it does) at least like 40%, take it home and use air droid to transfer your files.

Hello everyone, Im not sure if this topic has been discuss in detail or not, but I have managed to connect a spare 500gb hard drive to my note 3. Here is everything I used.
I upgraded my laptop to a Samsung 250gb SSD, which provided me with a spare HDD:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-MZ-7T...=1387366438&sr=8-2&keywords=samsung+250gb+ssd
It comes with a cable already in it (USB 2.0) so this next item is optional, A Apricorn USB 3.0 Transger cable:
http://www.amazon.com/Apricorn-Note...qid=1387366498&sr=8-1&keywords=apricorn+clone
And lastly, it needs to connect to the phone, so I picked up this USB 3.0 OTG cable:
http://www.amazon.com/White-Color-M...7366411&sr=8-3&keywords=galaxy+note+3+usb+otg
Now here is the steps I took.
Since my HDD still had stuff on it, and it was partitioned, I had to wipe it clean. I formatted the HDD on my computer first. I formatted it to exfat. Maybe another way will work but I'm not testing it. I then hooked up all the wires accordingly and plugged it into my phone. The N3 did not recognize the file format of the HDD so I re-formatted it to the N3 standard. After that, it is as simple as plug and play. I was even able to use the stock My Files app.
Note*** obviously the SSD is not a requirement, unfortunately, I am unable to test it as it has been in my computer for several months and I dont want to risk corrupting anything. It may work with the SSD as well, although I doubt it will reach the speeds it can on a computer.
I am not rooted and did not have to download anything extra for it.

Cool. But curious as to why you would need a 500G HDD attached to the N3

This. We were using a variant setup, pushing the content via DLNA to our Xbox 360 (connected to a good ole 'dumb' tube TV). Quite enjoyable.
Damn I didnt even know you could do this
Has anyone found a way to pass through power with a splitter or something so while connecting the USB OTG cable you could still run the phone off of power without depleting the battery? I asked this same question in the Note 8 forum but no one found a way.

what format was the hdd in exFAT or NTFS ?
I use the OTG dongle to hook up my 1TB drive and play movies and TV shows directly from the drive.
(Also works with the tablet)
I formatted it to exfat. I have a 1tb external also. But it's already formatted to ntfs. And it's full so I'm not going to risk losing a thing on it.

Because it's not supposed to work that way... The OTG cable puts your device in "host" mode... so it will use the phones power to run your HDD and kill the ability to charge... there are ways to get power to the HDD so you don't drain your device battery as much but the charging thing is a native function of OTG switching.
This is what i've been using... it has HDMI out ... microUSB 5v input to run the HDD... USB port for HDD or any other USB device... (using a wireless keyboard on it right now)... and card reader ports...
You can fake this thing into trying to charge the phone by plugging in the micro USB connection first and THEN plugging the hub into the phone with the microUSB power already on... then you see the charge notification in the status bar but it still doesn't charge the device... even with the samsung 2amp charger as a power supply... the battery still drains
What about wireless charging? I Don't have a wireless charger or battery cover to test this. But this may work

That actually is a good idea to try. I'm less optimistic about that as my previous experience with wireless charging has shown that it is less efficient t getting current to the phone as a wired connection and there are some things done on your phone that even when plugged to a 2A wired connection will still drain the battery.
What about the Smart dock? With 2 USB ports an HDMI and power in?

That's the problem I'm running into... I'm running the HDMI/MHL/OTG hub... I got the HDMI out to my flat screen... OTG to a wireless keyboard... bluetooth mouse... When it all hooks up properly (you have to plug everything in the right order) the Note 3 screen shuts off and it runs as a proper CPU with output to the flat screen...but even with the samsung 2 amp charger plugged in I still lose about 1% battery every 5 minutes... better than running without the charger but that s$#t can't be good for the battery running that hard and charging at the same time AND losing the battle.
