I'm pretty sure it's not the computer since I can detect other peoples S3 , and already tried it on several PC's ( kies and different drivers too)
is there a possibility of a busted USB port ? even though it still charges , but nothing appears in the device manager
Connect it to the PC in Download Mode to install some drivers automatically. So I understood it will work. For me it didn't work in like first week I bought it. Then, I was charging it on my PC for like half an hour and then it connected by itself. First days I connected it rzisted more nd more connected. Let's say like a car when you start it and push on the trothle. It goes more and more until you can go how long you want. Try via Download first then come back and report

See if 'Enable USB debugging' under developers options helps

Get a toothpick and clean your USB port on the phone. Had a problem that was similar to yours caused by dust .
That might be the problem.

Yes, because data uses other pins than charging does.
I have an other question, does your phone give -any- feadback at all when plugged in to a computer? Did you try a different usb cable?

Too bad, seems to me that you are right about the broken port.

connect the phone in download mode and observe if the odin detects it..
also try flashing any file through it(say recovery) and see if the transfer works.
if it does ..no issues with the usb , go for the pc then.

sorry for the noob question but , is it okay to charge the phone thru usb host cable ? with the proper male to male usb connectors , connected to my pc ?
many thanks
cant u just use the micro usb lead that comes in the box and charge via usb,
your way should work just more connections.
hmmm ... do u get the battery charge icon if u charge from usb ? i dont , it looks like it doesnt work but im not sure
i didnt get any other usb with my fone , thats why i try it this way , and my charger needs a bit of plug fixing

When you connect the USB cable to the computer, do you see any changes near computer clock (small icon trying to connect)? have you installed ActiveSync?

yes when i plugin via usb i get charge icon il find my host adapter and see if can charge that way to.

It will charge your device but verrry verrrrry slow...
I had several devices and from my experience (hours of installs and spending time with the device connected to my pc) usb charging stinks

This is my opinion,too...
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.

Noo im not using app2sd..the phone gets charged but not able to mount when connected thru usb????
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
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.
Sent from my Atrix 4G with XDA Premium App
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
Is it weird that I can get into download mode using the JIG yet no computer i have or my friends have can detect my phone?
there are 5 pins on the USB
1---- 5V+
2---- Data -
3---- Data +
4---- I.D.
5---- GND
For the jig to work you connect pins 4 & 5 with a resistor. Which means that pins 1 4 & 5 at the very least are working because i can charge my phone just fine. On my desktop at home ... i get the famous windows USB plugged in sound... IDK Anyone have any thoughts

It could be drivers or a bad cable. I have had some of my JIG customers ask me the same thing only to report later that it worked once they replaced the USB cable, go figure... Also, some roms need different drivers for the computer to properly work with it. Since you have tried on multiple computers, have you tried on multiple cables by chance? Or different ports?
Just keep trying, if you got Download Mode you are at least still OK. Just need to keep trouble shooting until you find the culprit to your problem.
p.s. I threw away my original cable because it stopped working...
I have tried many cables and drivers and ports. By any chance do you know which driver for ICS?

lmao actually no I do not and yes my phone no longer works either after updating to ICS. I had to use adbWireless and QtADB in order to adb commands into my phone. I think I seen someone in the ##icssgs channel mention we need different drivers, but it was very late last night and I was tired. I could be wrong but it seems not, as mine also no longer works via USB. My cable is extra heavy duty and gold plated so I know its not my cable all of a sudden, lol...
Pretty sure you need the Nexus S drivers for it to work. I am mobile right now so I can't search but I do recall reading something to that effect. Maybe in theexel's ICS port thread.

Hmm, that also faintly rings a bell and makes perfect sense since its based on the NS source drop I believe...
Hi,
Having a problem since a few weeks with my s3.
Normally i could connect wiht my phone to any pc,, without any problems. Either it be unix, win, whatever...
Suddnely it stopped working, only thing that happens is charging when i connect it to my pc. Different cables tested, original one, etc..
Connecting it to different pc's resulted in a no go.. so it must be phone related.
No windows pop up, or anything!!
So I figured: Let's install a new rom.
Tried ultima 15 rom, got a different CM rom now (sentinel)... all to no avail.
Is it possible that this has something to do with my radio?
rom info:
android: 4.3
baseband: CEEMG2
Anyone have an idea what to do? Even ADB push ain't working..
See your identical post
I experienced the same problem when m using the Galaxy Nexus S But it was solved by using the app from play store named SD booster... In this app m just set the value of sd card to 1024 give root access and Boom my phone is connected as normal
If this not help then i seriously recommend you to replace the charging port of the mobile through samsung outlet
Go into developer settings, some ROMs may have different ways to get into develop er setting and after you get in make sure USB debugging is enable ^.^
Sent from my SPH-L710 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Usb debugging is not required for phone to pc connection see basic faqs and guides .
But as OP has ruled out drivers and cable that only leaves the phone so its worth trying .
Usual replies are
Drivers
Cable
Dirty USB Ports
Not connected to main-board usb port .
I had same issue with my Galaxy SII and when i took it to service center they said mother board needs to be replaced.
So after that SII was good as new.
Got same problem here.
phone is charging over usb , but no data connection (tried different usb cables, different usb ports, different pc etc) but nothing..
also.. tried in download mode and so (after reading forums..) but without success.
then i decided to dissasemble that phone and look, what's inside that beast
cleaned usb port (inside, with contact cleaner), resoldered all pins and etc..
reassembled it back to one piece again and still, no data connection, but only charging
so, here i am, what to do next ? change the usb port on motherboard ?
(visually, everything looks right, good solder points and etc.)
Thanks, Martin

if anybody interested:
i've got it working again :victory:
basically, the problem was the hard way (crap usb data connections on motherboard)
soldered new ways for data+ and data-, and now it's back alive again...
(pictures of ways in attachment)
Martin
see you fixed it already but a note to others :
try using usb port right on the motherboard instead of the case front panel usb ports.....connecting to the front usb ports didn't work for me on some roms, but the rear one always connected so I just have a long cable running out of the back to connect my phone and it works on all roms I've used so far
Nice work hani93, i unfortunately do not dare to desolder and solder this stuff
I've noticed another thing though which is weird!!
When i tried to charge my phone via the power charger (the ac one?), when i check my battery view it still says that i'm charging via USB.
I don't think this is correct, i thought it should say AC or something and when charging via USB port on pc it should display USB?
I think this might be one of the issues that it's also not popping up on the computer.
Anyone know what is causing this or someone can confirm that when charging via power supply it should say something else then USB?
Just confirming your question when charging by PC it says (USB) and when its charging from the Mains it says (AC).
hmmm... guess it must be a hardware issue then?
Either usb port or mainboard... christ...

try to go into Download mode (volDown+Home+Power) and then connect usb, same situation?(eg, no data connection to pc ?)
if nothing again.. try to clean usb port inside (where you plug usb cable), sometimes there is dust and etc. then it stops working.
also, how did you clean contacts on motherboard ? i suggest to take soldering iron with clean bit, and drag iron along the pins.
Hello All,
I am facing a strange problem.. Till yesterday noon all was fine but since evening whenever I connect my phone to my laptop, I get a prompt that USB device is not recognized.
I re-installed USB drivers and Kies and also checked on different ports on the laptop but same issue..
Further on the same port, my hard-drive is successfully detected,
USB icon does not appear when connected to laptop
Can you please help?
Other information:
1. Phone model: GT-i9300 International
2. ROM: AICP 01-Sep nightly
EDIT:
1. I am able to charge the phone using the same USB cable and laptop USB slot
2. On other laptops as well, I am getting the same issue
