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.

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

Sometimes the cable has a problem with the phone. Mine stopped working for some weeks, then it was normal again. Just use another cable.

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 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
Many similar threads, lots of possible reasons. Best search for the most likely causes, which will include your pc, leads, phone hardware etc.

tested it on different computer still the same. phone hardware should not be the issue since i am able to use it in download mode and charge it using the charger. so hardware port cannot be the problem.

changed the cable. still the same. i saw another post about the same issue (quite old though and had no replies) and he was talking about some code like *#7280# (or similar code that opens up a hidden menu that allows to do something to fix it) but i opened that menu and those options werent there.
searched all over xda. tried all the things suggested (including the recovery firmware). still things remain the same. i still can flash it in download mode. but i cant charge it or anything. im sure its a software problem not a hardware problem. some serious help is required here

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.
I am wondering if there's an app that is known to root ATT Samsung Note i717 on ver 4.0.4. I want to undelete photos but the only apps I find such as DiskDigger are for rooted phone's only. I have tried Z4 and OneClickRoot both didn't work.
Alternatively is there an app that anyone has used to undelete pics from an unrooted I717? That's all I want to do after all.
The long story is I picked up the phone off ebay with a non working USB port for a good deal. I replaced the USB port - unfortunately it only works with a wall charger type, it doesn't work with a USB type charger. So the phone cannot connect to my laptop via USB. That was ok for a wife phone until we need to undelete accident pics from off the phone that Geico is requiring to process our claim.
Somehow I can hold the USB cable tightly at an angle and it connects to the laptop as long as I am still. I figure if there's a windows app that can undelete then I can hold and try to work it out. But it's impossible to hold the cable in attempting to rooting the phone normally for the entire rooting process. That's why an app would be great.

Can you not use Kies? It can be a wireless thing. Won't have to root? I'm guessing. First I've heard of anybody wanting to undelete. I had to read it a few times. lol

Take the sd card out and use a pc utility to recover your lost photos.
Thanx for replying guys.
Well when the pics were taken the SD card was not in the phone so they had been stored on the phone memory. Neither did we have dropbox setup to upload real time. It does connect via Kies but that app doesn't have undeleting or restore deleted pics function.
So what I am trying to do is to recover the deleted photos from the phone's internal memory. I found this app DiskDigger but it's for rooted units. I would like to root this phone preferably with an app because the charging port on it doesn't work (ordered one but it ain't getting here fast enough, for now might as well try something). I tried this method here but encountered this error. At the moment due to a bad charging port there's no way to root it with my PC.
BTW Is undeleting in Android strange or not uncommon? I have found quite a bit of it on the web. Further, I also found an android recycle bin that seems to work->Dumpster. Wish I had it installed before all this. So still looking for a way to undelete/restore the pics, or a rooting app that will work with i717.
Which version are you running? I am assuming you are running 4.1.2?

Port is now replaced. My buddy mentioned if I root the phone via my laptop that will delete/overwrite everything that I want to undelete. Is that correct?
P/S
I apologize if this is too obvious but for me all this is an uncharted territory.
Rooting means changing the permission to access the root directory of the operating sysyem. The process doesn't delete anything.
So somehow my screen cracked while in my pocket yesterday and i dont know how? Unless i bumped into something but i dont remember anything hard enough to cracked the screen but anyway now i cant use the phone. I bought the 2 year plan with ADH from sony so when my experience is all over ill do a review thread but for now i need to completely restore the phone to remove all my information, debit card info etc. Before i send it in. Anyone no how to do it from a computer? Because like i said the phone is unuseable. And the xperia support line is closed for the holiday. Any help is appreciated.

Depending on your lockscreen setup try plugging into pc companion and do a repair.
If you can't get a connection cos you can't unlock the phone, then you could try an mhl cable to port the screen to a monitor and do a normal factory reset via settings menu.
If you know you have usb debugging enabled then you can use adb commands.
