I've had to sent my phone back to Samsung because it was not connecting to my computer via USB, it charged fine but nothing else, no message came up in the notification bar at all.
I don't know if its an issue the phone has always had as I have never tried connecting it before, it only came to light because I bought a Smart Dock and it would't work.
I've searched on the internet and cannot find anyone else having the same problem and mentioning it being sorted. Lots of cases of completely broken USB ports.
So has anyone ever heard of this issue and know if it was easily resolved by the Service Centre?
Cheers

Hi I had a similar problem 2 weeks ago but mine was also having intermitent problems with the charging connection as well, it would appear that it only takes a minute piece of fluff in the micro usb socket to cause havoc with the connections Sometimes this can be cleared by "blowing in the hole method" this worked temporarily for me but eventually I used a stiff toothbrush to clean out the socket and after that all connections work every time, I have now purchased a silicon plug for the socket and one for the earphone socket as well ( I am surprised that a flagship phone doesn't come with covers for these anyway
I had the same problem as well.
It's just a problem of drivers getting corrupted in your pc. You should have reinstalled them instead of sending the mobile to the service center.

If it was just the drivers then I would still have had the notification on my phone that USB had been connected. And when I dropped it off at the local service centre to see if it could be fixed without sending it off to the big one they tried plugging it in and confirmed it was not connecting.

Standard answers to this question
Reads as no Samsung |USB drivers or Kies installed or corrupt .
Failure to connect can also be dirty / failed USB port on phone / Bad USB port on PC .
Bad USB cable .
Or failed/ corrupt firmware on phone flash stock firmware .
Also possible failing component on motherboard .

I had exactly the same problem as yours i.e no usb icon showing in the status bar etc etc, and all i did was that I reinstalled the drivers using the all in one toolkit for the galaxy s3 and voila! my phone was detected by the p.c again
Maybe your's is a slightly different problem.
Cheers guys,
The problem was there before and after I upgraded to 4.1.2 so I guess that rules out the firmware option, maybe a dirty connection is a possibility but the tech guys on the phone or in the repair shop didn't try anything along those line. I gave it the obligatory blow out at some point but that didn't do much.
I think the guy in the shop was of the impression it will be a hardware fault with the port.
Just hope they don't take forever to get it back to me.

Hi, this will be my first post here and I'll appreciate if you can point me in any direction which can solve my problem.
I've a rooted SGS2 i9100.
The problems began with the device switching from charging to normal, even when it was not connected to the usb port. Reading other's people problems, I've fixed that cleaning the usb port and gently jiggling the connector.
The problem came back a few times and get fixed in the same way as before. Suddently, the phone stopped detecting the usb charger and usb connection to my mac also stopped working, although the phone did charge the battery while connected. It justs didn't make the connected sound anymore and the battery icon didn't reflect any change.
I tried a couple of fixes that I found in the web and none of them worked. I've changed roms and kernels without luck. I also tried using some keypad secret codes to come up with a hidden menu to check how the USB was setup.
I ended up ordering a new USB flex cable to replace the old one hoping this will fix my problem, but after I changed the flex cable the problem persisted.
I'm currently using RR 2.6.1 (ICS 4.0.4). I've noticed that if I upgrade to RR 3.0.4 with Jelly Bean and not only the problem persists, but the battery stopped charging (I tested with the 3 different kernels) so I've to go back to RR 2.6.1
I can't do anything with Odin, as the USB is not detected, so the only way to change anything is through CWM.
Does anyone have a suggestion? (I forgot to mention that the phone is under an ex-friends name, so I can't send it back to my phone company for replacement)
For starters you can use mobile odin pro to flash stuff.I would flash back to stock and see if anything clears up.

I have also had similar problem on my SGS2.
It maybe your PC you are trying to connect to is malfunctioning or not seeing your device.
What i did was i connected my other phone which is BlackBerry Bold 9900 to my PC via USB and then i removed it & connect my SGS2 & it got connected.

Thanks for the tip. I read about mobile odin, and it looks that it'll do the same as CWM, or am I missing something?
Sorry I didn't reply before, I had an old email setup with my xda account
There are several things you can do.......
If you trust your friend-then let him send the phone back pretending hes still the owner(it says warranty is 2 years).
Youll need to remove all traces of tinkering....lol.
Or change the usb board for $10.

A month or two ago I started experiencing problems while connecting my S2 to the PC or laptop using the data cable.
When I connect the cable to my S2 on the PC or laptop it comes up with the balloon messages in the system tray:
USB device not recognised.
Then a short while later it comes up with another balloon message:
This device can perform faster.
Sometimes while transferring data, it will disconnect and the file transfer fails.
Sometimes if the cable is moved slightly it will cause the device to disconnect from the PC.
And, of course, the file transfers are much slower than they should be and much slower than they used to be.
GT-I9100 Rooted.
I9100XXKKI3
Gingerbread 2.3.6 Stock (Frankenstein)
I haven't touched any ROM or flashed anything on this in like over 8 months so it's nothing to do on that front.
I removed micro SD card and tried reconnecting again, still the same problem.
I've tried different computers, still the same problem.
I've used different cables, still the same problems. Tried enabling and disabling USB debugging. Same problem still remains.
The USB cables and computer and laptop work fine with my S3.
All the correct drivers are installed for the S2.
I'm resigned to thinking it's a hardware issue as I've exhausted other options. Is there a simple fix or will this need sending back to Samsung?
I've had the phone over a year now but someone told me the warranty is two years?
All help appreciated guys. Thanks in advance.
Why don't you upgrade to ICS?

Probably because his USB port doesn't currently work properly.
@OP, this is often caused by a dirty or faulty USB port. You can try cleaning it, but you may need to replace it.
Try cleaning it out with a dry toothbrush first.
If that doesn't work, take the battery out, and try cleaning the port with a small q-tip with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol; let it dry for a while after that, then replace the battery.
If THAT doesn't work, you'll probably need to replace the part for the USB port.
If your warranty is still good, you could try to go that route, but you'll need to unroot your phone. Otherwise, I've heard it runs about $15 for the part, and you can replace it yourself. If you don't feel up to it, you can have a cell repair shop or Samsung service center do it for you, but it will probably be significantly more expensive than $15.
My opinion based on your description is the USB socket on the phone is wearing out/damaged. The USB socket is on a small circuit board separate from the main logic board. It's easy to replace and the part is cheap on EBay. Search for a disassembly/tear down video and judge whether you can do it yourself.

Thanks for the very quick responses guy. They were very thorough as well.
I will look into cleaning the port and if it still doesn't work I'll consider having it repaired. My soldering skills were excellent but I haven't done it for a few years, so may leave it in someone else's hands.
I haven't upgraded to ICS as I was very happy with my phone at the time. Also, a couple of friends who had upgraded to ICS on their S2 regretted it due to numerous problems, which put me off upgrading.
You can still use mobile odin and theres no soldering needed with the usb,it comes as a board with a ribbon cable.

I've had a look on the Samsung website here:
w ww.samsung.com/uk/support/warranty/warrantyInformation.do?page=POLICY.WARRANTY
It seems as though the warranty period on my phone is 24 months so I might just get it done via Samsung.
I'll contact them in the morning and see where I stand. If not, then the replacement USB board connected by a simple ribbon cable sounds like a doddle. I've seen a grade A condition part on ebay for about £8 delivered.
Thank you once again.

This is a Cable problem. The USB port of your device is wider now, that's why the cable doesn't fit well. Buy a micorUsb cable for blackberry, it's always very full and thick, then use it to connect your phone. The issue should be resolved.
I once had the same problem with my Nokia N8 and using a Samsung cable (which looks fuller and thicker) solved it.
Yeah warranty should be 2 years BUT youll have to unroot it first if your sending it to them.
They may also wipe your phone and stick on 4.0.4.
If you get the board yourself,check the number is going to be the same i.e the spare one I have here is GT-I9100 rev2.2.
Also other people have got a replacement board and the mic doesnt work(think the boards are sold as refurbished).
So its up to you which option you go for.

Hey everyone, I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII (LTE Version) and no matter how hard I try I can't get it to solidly connect to my computer!
What happens whenever I plug the Galaxy SIII into my PC (Windows 8) is a follows:
I hear the device connected sound from my PC and the charging indication from my SIII. So far so good, but most of the time when I go to "My Computer" the phone isn't listed anywhere. After a couple of times plugging the USB cable in and out it shows up on the PC, but almost instantly after being listed I can hear the device disconnected sound and the window closes. If I move the cable for the SIII even a tiny bit I can hear the device connected sound almost instantly followed by the device disconnected sound and a message from Windows telling me that the USB device malfunctioned.
This makes the task of copying photos or movies to and from the device near enough impossible. The phone is only a few months old and is completely unmodified! The USB cable is also the stock out-of-the-box one. This doesn't seem to be a new issue either! It's been happening almost out of the box but I assumed it was down to drivers (which were updated but made no change) and now it's starting to annoy me very much!
Any help would be much appreciated

No probs.
Beware if you dont know already, factory reset wipes your internal sd card. Maybe use dropbox to auto upload all your photos before you get to that stage.

Alright, so I went digging in the cupboard and found the cable from my old Xperia Play. Upon using that as opposed to the one Samsung shipped with the phone, the connection issues seem to have vanished. (I'll update here if they return)
I suppose this goes to show badly made the stock Samsung cables are which is quite a shock considering Samsung expect people to rely on them.
The cables are crap. The s3 has built in stability detection. If connection unstable with cable, lowers charge to 100mA.
Almost all the "slow charging" threads are down to crap sammy cable

Ha! I was also suffering from really slow charging with that cable! Again though, thank you for your help
I had the same issue, new cable did the trick!
So I was just going to change ROMs, and I realized that my DNA won't connect to a PC over USB anymore. I always plug it in at work via USB to a laptop to charge, and it would normally open the autostart/autorun window, which I would always notice because I'll switch computers often. Last week the autostart dialog stopped opening, but I was distracted with work being busy and it just went to the back of my mind.
Until now.
I've checked all the normal trivial stuff... trying different cables, using different USB ports, and obviously different PCs. It also won't be detected by ADB. Yes, developer options are enabled, yes USB debugging is enabled. It sounds to me like its the port on the phone, so then I'm screwed, but I was just wondering if anyone knows any tricks I can try.
Are you running a custom rom? Go to settings>storage>storage settings>USB computer connection and make sure the connect as Media device (MTP) is checked. Same thing happened to me and some how this setting was unchecked

Have you found a solution for this? I am in the exact same situation with no solutions working for me. I tried PDAnet and many other things. The device is unrecognized by my computer completely not even showing up in the device manager. This likely is a hardware issue, but I'm rooted with no way to return to stock because I can't connect to my computer which makes me unable to use my warranty for repair. This is a really unfortunate pickle as I'm not sure if I can even do anything at this point. I have found online that people with a hardware issue with connecting to their computers also had the slow charge notification when charging either through the computer or the power adapter. Mine does not display slow charge which gives me some hope that it is somehow a driver issue. Do you get the slow charge notification at all?
EDIT: It's a hardware issue for me. Noticed my charger is sticking slightly more out than usual, and it just can't get the right connection

Hey guys, just figured I'd follow up. Sorry for the delay, XDA email notifications somehow ended up in my spam folder.
Anyway, for me it just turned out to be that all the cables I tried were bad. Pretty low odds, I'm actually surprised both my cable at home and the one at work were all bad. Sure enough I tried it with a coworker's cable and it worked fine.

If they charge your phone there not bad. Just an FYI
the same problem
hello i had the same problem,its the usb port part on the phone.this is what i mean
so you can replace it!!! with 20 euros
or 15 euros from china
Just received my awaited elephone p9000 today and had been using it for a couple of hours setting up, Doing an update etc. When i came time to charge it. To sum it up it used the supplied usb c cable to attempt to charge it on multiple usb chargers and tried it with two pc's with no success. When connected to the pc it did come up with 'This device has been linked" Then immediately followed by "this device has been unplugged" Or at least something along those lines. Today i went and purchased a micro usb to usb c adapter and managed to get it to charge momentarily then to find it stop then start again. I am now sitting on 1% power and not sure what todo. Any advice? I have warranty on it from gearbest fyi.

When I first charged my P9000 it did not go over 50% until I updated to the newest OTA and rebooted the device after the last update.
But I have not encountered disconnects or anything like that.
You could also screw your device apart and remove the battery for some time, but as you have a valid warranty I would not recommend that.

If you connect your phone to your PC, is it listed in the device manager? If yes, does your PC recognize it as Elephone p9000?
Have you installed the latest drivers for your phone? (http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-1037-1-1.html#.VWgkX_RAU-0)
Maybe changing the connection type in the notifications (when plugged in) helps in any way ?
Have you tried a different lead? I know this sounds obvious but my brother had a similar problem with his P9000 when he first got it, he used my lead (for some reason my lead was different to his as I bought from a different supplier, dunno why mines a kinda thick white lead, my brothers was a kinda thinner blue Elephone lead) and it worked fine. Although I haven't come across anyone else on here that's come across an issue with the supplied lead.

It does multiple things when it connects at different stages
ON and connected to pc- With elephone cable the phone constantly displays the messages 'Charger has been linked' and 'device has been unplugged' within ~1 sec of each other and no connection is noticed on PC.
With the MICRO USB - USB C adapter nothing happens
Powered off and connected to pc- Charging symbol will flash momentarily every ~5seconds. Pc will ding repeatedly as it connects and disconnects
fastboot- Somehow connects and is recognised by PC
Ive managed to get it past 30% power but took ages todo from leaving it powered off and just flashing on and off charging

I only have 2 leads unfortunately. The stock elephone and a micro usb to usb c adapter with a working micro usb attached. Ive ordered some more online and waiting their arrival. Im stuck on what todo
That is indeed very strange.
You could try to flash TWRP 3.0.2.1 via fastboot (http://en.miui.com/thread-58623-1-1.html, just use the TWRP for Elephone P9000 instead), but I would not recommend that as your connection is really unstable. The chance of bricking your device is much higher than the chance that your problem is solved.
If the leads you ordered do not help you should get it replaced.
