Hello to all. Suddenly my galaxy s3 usb cable stopped working. Whenever i connect to pc it starts charging but display message of pc taskbar that (USB device not recognized, The last USB device you connected to this comnputer malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it.) Even i tried to connect another nokia mobile to pc with SGS3 same cable & worked fine but mine not working. Even i try other ports too as well as back side of main board & tried another cable but the problem is still same. Please kind person help me to solve problem. Thanx
Sometimes the cable has a problem with the phone. Mine stopped working for some weeks, then it was normal again. Just use another cable.

Thanx for reply. You told that sometime the usb cable has a problem with the phone but the same cable working fine with another device as i mentioned already above problem.
That's what I encountered, the cable worked with other devices. Try another cable and give feedback.

Replace the cable, mate.
I have 3 Sgs3's, of which:
1st cable was eaten by cat,
2nd causes: connected-disonnected messages in Odin
3rd one works flawless...

Try to clean the USB connector of your phone with a toothpick (carefully), I had this kind of problem and cleaning the connector worked fine for me

Many thanx for this
I just had exactly the same problem tried everything clearing cache, different cables, restarting Phone, removing battery & sim, I was on the verge of doing a factory reset but realised that if it had no effect I would not be able to access my backup,
5 minutes with a needle torch and magnifying glass removed a lot of fluff (why didnt Samsung put one of those flap thingys over it)
Now works perfectly again,
hello i am haveing same problem i have 3 samsung galaxy s3 only one is not connecting to pc its charging only i have tried every solution on google as well as xda developers .... is their any kind of problem with my usb connector ???? will it resolve by cleaning or i have to change it ????
i have tried by changing cable hard reset secret codes every thing but had no luck i need help here plzzzzzzzzzz......
I think this will work.
I think one of this options will work:
-option 1:
Type *#7284# in your phones keypad. Then you choose qualcomm settings. Select MTP + ADB and then reboot.
-option 2:
Type *#0808# in your phones keypad. Select MTP + ADB and then reboot.
Same issue here
Hello I and many others have same issues after the 4.3 upgrade, theres quite many threads about it on the net but still no solution. I have contacted Samsung Sweden about this issue but they do not knwo of any widespread problem and said to send the phone to service (not optional for me since i change the screen of mine + out of warranty). Asked if there is any bugfix update on the way, but Samsung support didnt know about it
I have tried 3 computers and 6 usb cords, cleanded the connectors but no luck. In my case the phone never realizes that its connected to a computer, but starts to charges instead. Some people says that after the upgrade the computer sees it as an unknowned device.
EDIT: Didnt see this thread was solved, nothing to see here, will continue to look for a solution

I get the message when i connect the x10 to the pc "usb device not recognized" i´ve tryed other cables and uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them. Even anoher pc. but i get the same message where ever i try.
Is it possible that some of the pins are broken?
Is this something i can fixed on the warranty?
If so, even if i have installed a custom rom?
------
I turned the phone in and they replaced the SWAP-Unit. All on warenty! When i turned the phone in i asked the dude there about custom rom and repairs, he said it dident matter aslong as its something wrong with the hardware and not the software ofcaurse
Can u run the phone on flashtool or SEUS from SE on the computer? Or is the phone not reconized on that either?

Then you propably got broken usb connector or your IC controler on motherboard stopped working. If you look at your connector and all the pins just looks fine then connector is really ok. Now, it is surely IC controller. You have to send your phone on warranty, and you are going to receive a new one. Yes, a new phone. There is no other way to fix this. And from what I know, you don't have to bother about different ROM installed. No one else bothers bout it too.
edit:
Oh BTW, if this happened now, then propably in short time you will loose ability to charge your phone VIA USB connetected to PC, if not immedietly then after this charging won't be possible at all, even with AC charger.... So... be prepared.
No my connections looked fine but on metering from the USB connector to the filtering circuit it was open circuit I flowed solder on the joint I then had continuity reassembled and all worked great, no need to go to the interface circuitary. I am saying if the system cannot read the voltage drop across the shunt resistor it cannot control the current and will not charge.

Since u guys are discussing this, I wanted to know how does one disconnect the phone from the the PC.what is mount and unmount?? Will it harm my device in anyway??? Which is the safest mode to connect it to PC??
first, try a different usb cable, I had the same problem. as for the mounting problem, should have made a new thread, but you should mount usb to transfer files, but no need to if just charging, but be sure to unmount or else you could corrupt your sd card, and it also creates another drive on your computer if you don't 'safely remove usb' after unmounting

Hi,
I have had this issue for about a week now and I have no idea what I can do to remedy it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Basically the handset believes that it is connected via USB constantly, i.e. when there is no cable connected, or power connected.
If nothing is connected to the phone and I try to turn on USB debugging I get the pop up "Attention - USB is connected. remove the cable."
If I do connect a USB cable to PC, the computer nor the handset respond. So I cannot connect to my handset via usb.
If I turn the phone off, then it starts to show the battery charging screen (as if connected) and will slowly drain away the battery. On top of this the battery stats do not update, so I have no idea what the charge is in reality.
If the phone is off, the only way to boot it up is to hold the keys down to boot into Recovery Mode and reboot the phone through that.
This started suddenly when I was using the CM7 latest nightly 116. The weird thing is that I had been on 116 since its release (months ago) and changed nothing for this to suddenly occur.
I couldn't seem to fix it, so I thought I would upgrade to the CM9 latest to "just wipe over the issue". The problem continued through this build.
Still could not get rid of it, so I wiped everything and went back to the first backup I made, which is the stock ROM and the insecure kernel for root access. (First opportunity to do a back up after rooting).
I have tried another battery and the same issue was present.
Is anyone familiar with this issue? Is there something I can do to solve it?
If not, is there a way that I can add the stock kernel back without using USB or ODIN? as neither will recognize the phone is present. If I cant fix it I at least want to return it completely to stock before returning the phone to the store.
Thanks for reading!
Maybe issue with the USB receptacle, hardware failure, moisture inside or dirty contacts etc.
Try cleaning the contacts carefully with a something soft and moist with isopropyl alcohol.

Yep, I cleaned long and hard in the plug and it didn't help unfortunately.
Extract the kernel zImage and flash with Hellcat app HC-kTool from your sdcard.

I think mobile Odin lite will do it from sdcard too. Edit: Able to flash ROM (or selected parts with the pro version, just kernel with lite version.

Thanks, I have CWM on my phone and you reminded me!
Ok, So I am back to stock FW and Kernel. The issue is still here, guess it's of to the store for a replacement.
Thanks for your help UpInTheAir, it is appreciated.
I had a similar issue with my S1, which I still have. I suspect a drop of rain got into the port, but not sure because it played up for months.
Anyway, my home 3g modem blew up one day so I began using the S1 as a dedicated wifi modem (tethering). I left it constantly on power. A few weeks later I wanted to try and install ics on it (was bored). It connected to the computer first go and all problems have disappeared since. Have tested it many times now. Might have just been luck.
So, maybe just leave it plugged in for a day or two and see if it helps.

So a little history, I flashed my vibrant from Bionix v1.3.1 (fishmanmod) to ICS and started to have a lot of troubles with random restarts and battery issues. Prior to ICS everything was perfect. I've tried so many different versions of ICS and all of them have resulted in random shut downs. The most recent one I tried was Slim ICS. After having such bad luck with ICS roms I decided to go back to Bionix. However my phone now cannot be recognized by my computer which was weird because it did when I flashed it back to stock to install ICS cleanly. I tried various different drivers, uninstalled, reinstalled kies, almost everything I thought of. So then I was like okay, I'll just go back to a nandroid backup of Bionix. Stupid idea, should have read up more on that as it softbricked my phone. Now I'm stuck with a phone that stays on the Vibrant screen. I can get it into download mode with holding vol+ and power but that is no use because windows keeps saying it cannot recognize my device. I can't get it to recovery mode either to flash any roms I have on the phone. It might be a hardware issue because my mothers vibrant gets detected with the same drivers but just a couple of days ago I flashed my phone back to stock with odin which really confuses me. Does anyone have any ideas I could do? Is there a way to get into recovery mode to flash different roms? Is there a manual way of installing the drivers or surefire way of knowing if the vibrant has hardware issues?
Also when I flashed back to stock with odin it did take a good hour of installing and reinstalling drivers for my computer to recognize it in download mode. I've tried 3 different cables, one by samsung and the other two are third party. All these cables work on my mother's vibrant. I've also tried a different computer as well, no luck.
Try deleting ALL USB drivers from your PC and plug in the phone. It should automatically search and download drivers. If that doesn't work then its most likely something to do with the USB cable. I recently soft bricked my vibrant too and my USB would not work at all but it worked fine on a friends phone(weird). So I bought a new one from T-Mobile themselves and it worked! I was really close to believing I had a bad USB port on my phone,if a new cable doesn't work that could be the issue for you. There are a few places online that will replace your USB port on the phone for around 40 bucks, a new USB cable from T-Mobile will cost around $15.
PS: You can search ADB reboot recovery but this will not work unless you can connect to the PC. I personally would buy a new cable from T-Mobile just to know if its a bad USB port on your phone.

Yeah I've read in another post about how someone bought a replacement cable from T-Mobile which fixed the problem. I find it weird how the stock samsung cable does not work yet the T-Mobile cable did. What makes the 15 dollar T-Mobile cable better? I'll definitely give it a shot though.

I'm not sure what makes it better to be honest, it's just one of those things where their cables work better. It is most definitely more durable than the stock cable that came with my phone. If you have a problem with Tmobile's USB cable not working then you most likely have a bad port on your phone(happens more than you might think). I feel like a new cable will solve your problem tho, let us know if it works!

So I bought the T-Mobile universal data cable in store for 12.99 and turns out it did not work. That's okay, they told me I could return in within 30 days to get a full refund. Now my only hope is to send it to someone who could repair it.
The phone can go into download mode, so hopefully once this usb port gets fixed I can finally get into odin. Thanks iTz KeeFy for the suggestion to try a different cable.

Right so I own an S3 and a 13 Ford Fiesta. The car has a usb port for me to connect my phone into. When I connect an iPhone in and press the aux button it works fine. However when I connect my S3 the phone keeps connecting/disconnecting ever second or so, and this cycles until I remove the phone from the usb. I have tried using a brand new usb cable and other spare cables and it has the same problem so it's not the cable which is the issue. The phone connects fine to my pc and charges fine aswell. Please help guys.

Thank you ever so much. This worked. You're amazing.
i have a sgs3 i9300. i recently flashed the stock MJ9 android 4.3 firmware to it and it was working fine till 3 days ago when it started to show driving mode sign and then i flashed the rom again 2 or 3 times i wiped user data and now the driving mode sign is gone but i cannot connect the phone to the computer, when i connect it nothing happens, on mobile or computer. nothing. (no usb charging or mass storage or any sounds or anything) however i can charge it using usb charger that came with it and strangely i can even use the phone in download mode with computer to flash it using odin. i read somewhere that its not a hardware issue so im really looking forward to some help here. thanks

Would suggest you uninstall Kies if you have it then download the new version (Kies for non Android 4.3 or Kies 3 for Android 4.3) from here Kies this will re-install the new drivers, re-boot your PC then plug your phone into your PC and you should get the message installing drivers.
Don't let Kies run at the same time as Odin otherwise it wont work but I guess you probably know that.

Have you tried different USB ports on the PC, there have been reports before that for some reason the port people normally use stops working and by switching to another USB port it works
Forgot to say if not already tried, turn off the phone pull the battery leave for a minute or two, replace the battery and reboot then try to connect it.

Not having much luck are you, one last thing I have read before is using a pin or cocktail stick (you may need a magnifying glass as well) to gently clean the USB port on the phone and the cable, remove the battery first, but be careful you don't actually damage anything, that's why you need to be gentle with it.
Can you flash via ODIN successfully but phone not recognised by Windows??? Sounds like not all pins connecting properly. Clean connector VERY carefully...

i used a very sharp pin to clean the port on phone. did clean a bit, and had a bit of success. i cud charge my phone with the connector connected at a certain angle. if i wud touch it it would stop charging. but that went on for like 40 minutes and then it stopped working any ideas on how can i clean it? if i open the phone will i be able to clean it easily?

Never actually had to do it, only read what others have done, maybe an old dry toothbrush would do it as ling as you remember the gentle bit, if the pin did help then this could solve the problem for you it may simply be dust or dirt on the connections.
Would do both the phone and the cable end, not easy but worth a try as its free.
