i have a fairly new Galaxy S4, but every time i connect my phone to my computer, if i move the phone/cable a fraction of an inch it will disconnect from the computer and immediately reconnect multiple times until im done moving anything. It doesnt seem to matter the cable or the usb port on my computer.
any ideas?
Bunk charging port. That's what my s3 started doing and eventually it wouldn't recognize or charge. I'm sorry.

I have a samsung fascinate that will not connect to my computer no matter what I do. I have installed the drivers from samsung, I have connected through mass storage with usb debugging on, I have connected as mass storage without debugging on. I just cannot figure out why my computer will not recognize the phone. It just says that it is charging, and I am getting quite fed up with it. I want to connect it in order to root it, but if it will not read that the phone is attached, what am I to do? HELP ME!
Thanks!
Are you on Windows 7? Lately my pc has been doing the same thing. Except I can't get ANY usb devices to work. But here is my suggestion, shut down your pc, then unplug the power cord from the back and let it sit for a while. Then boot it up and see if that helps.

Also make sure you are using the stock cable. I've had problems with using an aftermarket cable before.
The issue was not using the stock cable... WHO KNEW?!
I had the same issues with the stock cable, on a whim I tried the cable to my kindle and it worked perfectly.

also just an idea, but check device manager to see if there is any errors with it, also admin privileges (not sure if needed)

eh sorry didnt see problem was solved
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

Can the computer recognize the phone in flash mode?
If so, try flashing 2.1 with flashtool to fix the problem

What about getting into xrecovery?
You could flash a different ROM with the baseband it matches.

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 ,
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.
When I plug my phone to my laptop's usb to charge, I didn't touch the phone the phone just get disconnected and back connected. It can dc a few times in a row.... On CM10 or Samsung I had that problem. Siyah Kernel.
Happens with me too. Not sure why though. Could be the cable or something that triggers a dc

I been trying to connect my phone to my computer now for about an hour. My phone recognizes that it's charging, but won't come up as MTP device. I have tried reinstalling drivers turning the phone off and on again, no dice. Here is the strangest part. I have 3 cables and I tested them all. One of them connects it to the computer as MTP the others just as charging. Has anyone else had this problem with their GN2?
I'm having the same issue, forum digging has proven fruitless thus far :/
Try a usb hub. It worked for me...
