Hi,
for some reason when I try to connect my S3 to my PC, it doesn't detect it, it doesn't even charge
I have installed Kies and the latest drivers. It works on my laptop though
Only thing I can think of is my PC uses Win 7 64bit and my Laptop using Win 7 32 bit.
Does anyone else have this problem and knows how to fix it?
Thanks
Win 7 64 bit is not your problem .
Standard errors are USB port not a mainboard port , not using Samsung Cable .

Yes- Samsung cables have recogniton chip inside them and if your cable isn't an original one in 80% of cases it isn't working
Had same issue using the plug inserted to electricity with a non-Smasung cable - in this case no charging for the phone
Had same issue using a non-Samsung car charger- so had to buy an original one
Slicks.. /sigh
I'm using a samsung cable and using the motherboard usb ports, my old SGS1 works, its just the SGS3 doesn't work.
Samsung cables dont have chips in them,
They are standard micro usb just like HTC, Blackberry etc

Ensure Windows media player is setup correctly and ensure all usb drivers for you motherboard is installed. Also try the motherboard ports on the back to rule out low voltage on front facing ports

Might be a real stupid question, but does the PC actually recognize the phone?
I yes, maybe an outdated version of the drivers..
Download the drivers, from my Win8 help thread, below and try again
Good luck!

Has anyone else had issues with trying to connect their tablet to a PC? I've tried on two different Windows XP machines running service pack 3 and one Windows 7 machine with Service Pack 1. All three machines have trouble installing the drivers and identifying the device. Nothing appears in My Computer.
I'm trying to connect through the micro-USB port.
as of now it only works with ADB:

Try using another cable.
I was using those cheap ebay cables, and it did not recognize my tablet.
So i bought a new one.
I forgot to say, the cable I bought was fro a lg mobile phone - pc connector.
from what I read, if you buy the xoom cable,you can even connect logitech pads to the sony and play your games..
So it really seems that the cable makes a difference.

You need an OTG cable. On the go. I use it for my logitech controller and other peripherals. Sony's is about 15 bucks on Amazon.
I have a stock Canadian Motorola Xoom running ICS 4.0.3
I did try to Google my question and search this entire site... no luck.
What will happen if I connect my Xoom to my XP (PC) using a Micro USB OTG cable? (a USB cable that support "Host Mode")
1. The Xoom will see the XP (PC) as a Massive Storage Device.
2. The XP (PC) will see the Xoom as a Massive Storage Device or as a MP3 player.
3. Both the Xoom and the PC will see each other as a Massive Storage Device.
4. A conflict will occur as both devices, Xoom and the XP (PC) will try to host each other.
5. Other (explain)
*I do know that ICS support OTG, and run really well with flash drives.
Thanks!
Intresting...
Why don't you do it once and let us know what happened?
I don't have a cable to test this but I'd guess you would get a conflict and neither device would recognize the other. Why would you want to do this anyway?

I order the OTG cable last week, it's not here yet. (maybe next week)
I have no idea how an OTG works, so it got me thinking...
- All I know is that OTG trigger the ICS to "host USB", but so the PC...

I want to connect my Xoom to my PC so I can copy some files over, and now wondering if I need another NON-OTG Micro USB to do so...
(or just keep using USB flash drive as a bridge, not super convenient...)
Any non OTG USB cable will do the trick. I think the Xoom only supports MTP, so make sure your computer supports that.

I have a non-original USB cable for my x10 mini to charge and connect to the PC but it only charges. When I connect the phone to the PC with the cable, the green LED lights and nothing happens. There is no sign of connection neither on the phone nor on the PC. I have gone through all the USB ports shown in the "Devices Management" and there is nothing there. I have tried every USB port on my PC.
Is there something I can do to correct this problem?
P.S. I don't have the original cable because I broke it accidentally.
A lot of cables don't work for power+data. I also broke my original cable and I now use the one from my Amazon kindle because it works for both. I also know samsung cables work so see if you can get hold of either of them.

Thanks a lot, my friend. I will try a Samsung one if I find. I should have realised that the Samsung ones work because I once transfered some music to a friend of mine who has Samsung, but he doesn't have his cable.

I think most cables it's a case of power or data, not both. I have the kindle cable that I mentioned that works lie stock and a cable I bought to replace the stock that only does power and my dad's ZTE blade cable that only does data. Any cable advertised as power and data should work, if not you should be able to return it as not working as advertised. Well, you can in the UK at least.

Okay not sure where exactly to post this so if I'm in the wrong spot, feel free to move it. I'm just posting to mention something I've discovered about our beloved ace and newer PC hardware, more specifically download mode and USB 3.0 short answer, DON'T! ESPECIALLY ON WINDOWS 8! After much searching on here, google and msdn forums as to how to get Windows 8 to recognize the usb driver for download mode,the only way I could get it to work was to plug it in to a USB 2.0 port and update the driver. Remember that most phones are still only USB 1.1 and Samsung's drivers for whatever reason don't allow for the backwards compatibility.
It works well on Windows 7 with a USB 3 port.
i have windows 8 and never had any problems
well i'm not sure what's going on on my end then. I've tried just about everything I could find and nothing want's to work. keep in mind though, I'm only talking about Download mode. not regular sync or ums.
I can't seem to get my phone to detect OTG USB Drives correctly..
Just purchased this Kingston USB C Drive on Amazon
It works just fine on my LGV20 and other Android phones, so i know the drive it self is not defective. It keeps reverting back to "charging device" even after settings it to "transfer files". Anyone else experiencing this? Wondering if it's an Oreo issue or Samsung specific
Are you using the bundled OTG adapter?
---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------
In any case if you are using a third party adapter that is the most likely culprit. Those things are notorious for their unreliability.
Tried the included adapter and third party. Same behaviour. The Kingston USB Drive is usb type c male which plugs in directly in the port without a need for an adapter. Except it doesn't work...
were you able to fix the otg issued you were having? same issue here
Having exactly the same problem
Hello! I'm also having the same problem. I am using the original OTG connector that came with the box. Model is SM-G965F/DS
Hi!
Any update about this issue?
Same problem here
Same device purchased, same issue. Help plz.
Same issue here. Bought two usb otg kingston . One from 16gb other of 32gb. It recognizes only the 32gb one.
I've looked everywhere and I can't find an answer to this. I am using the bundled OTG adapter from Samsung with my S9+ and trying to connect any of several USB externals/sticks (Most needed: Sandisk 32GB Cruzer Dial). Can't seem to get it working. Samsung "Files" doesn't see it and when I plug it in to the OTG, my ES Explorer recognizes a device being plugged in, but says it needs to be reconnected and cannot see the device. Any help would be great, *Cough Samsung*.
Side note, the included Earbuds didn't work either so I kind of wonder how much effort they put into the peripherals...
---------- Post added at 12:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 AM ----------
Actually, funny enough I looked to see if there were any Android/ISP updates and there was one. Not sure if it helped, but after it installed and rebooted, I plugged the USB stick back in and this time I got a pop-up asking to format the drive. Guess it's working now!
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.
Seems to be resolved by an update
I was having issues with the original one for my s9+, my stepdad has an s8+ and his one worked fine with my phone. A week ago my brother got a note 9, so i tried that otg and it worked fine, went back and tried my original one which also worked fine. There must have been an update or something that fixed it.

I am having same exact problem... Any solution?. S9+ exynos.. Thanks
Hello All,
All your devices are working fine. The problem with all OTG issues are all related to what version of Samsung Software Update you have. The problem is created by Samsung Software Update and it will be fixed only by Samsung Software Update unfortunately. Complain directly to Samsung to fix this bug once and for all to look into OTG part of their update before launching a new one to avoid this continues issues. Remember every issues in this entire thread about OTG can only be fixed by Samsung Software Update to new one or going back to your older Samsung Software version.

Hi anybody have solutions for it? I bought a random OTG type C reader and a Samsung memory card. It works on every comp and s8+, huawei phones but it just doesnt work on all the samsung s9/s9+ I tried.. please help!!
Fixed update!!
Yo mine had this issue as well.
I just went to storage and clean everything using the optimizer (not th one for th battery).
N it worked?
Possible fix
Install es file explorer. When you plug in usb to otg you should get a pop up asking to open with es file explorer. Do it... Almost everytime it will connect. Worked for me as I was having same problem.
