[Q] Can connect phone through USB only if installing the driver - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Connecting the phone (Galaxy s4) to the computer through USB does nothing, unless I install the driver (and need to wait until the computer knows my phone 'for the first time'). It happens many times. If I disconnect the phone, I need to re-install the driver. Why? How can I fix this and save 5 important minutes?

[Q] USB issues Odin

So the ota screwed up my phone. I was able to connect and intstall the stock eoh3 for xda the phone now starts up but I am unable to connect USB to root or flash any new rooms with Odin I can only connect Odin if the phone is booted up and debug and mock locations are on. If I pull the battery and put it in download mode it will not connect to the pc it just shows as an unknown device. I have reloaded drivers ect but not getting anywhere. Any ideas?
Try another cable if you have one, and try putting the drivers on another PC. For reasons I still haven't figured out, my home desktop PC quit connecting a couple of ROM's ago, and it won't even let me reinstall the drivers. I have a laptop that works fine (so I haven't gone into major troubleshooting) and my work PC also connects fine.
If the same issue repeats on other PC's and cables, there may be something wrong with your mini USB port. I had to have mine replaced a few months back.

USB Disconnect from PC...randomly?

Hi all!
I'm having a weird issue and I was hoping someone could help. My Samsung Note (att ver) when connected to my PC (USB file transfer/debug) will randomly disconnect after a minute or 2.
Let me also throw a few things out there. 1) I had an atrix prior to this and didn't have this issue. 2) I did download and install the samsung usb drivers. 3) I have tried all the ports on my pc (desktop, USB 2.0 (4 different ports)).
I can run odin fine but when doing something like just connecting let alone ADB (can't even get the connection to last long enough to push anything) I get the initial connection and can see my phone fine (files...whatnot) but then like i said a minute or 2 later....It just drops connection as if it was never there. I unplug, replug get the connection again and boom gone again...
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Are you connecting it through the MTP connection?
try going to Settings>Wireless and Network>Usb Utilities
try that instead
Solved
I think all this happens because of Kies software. It's a monster, I will never use it any more. Even uninstlling may not help. Better use MobilEdit instead.
Anyway, I found solution in registry. So, try this:
Before starting, disconnect all usb devices from PC
1. Open Windows registry editor
2. Open key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Enum\USB
3. Press CTRL+F and search in data value your device name (egz. Samsung)
4. Delete all key branches with name started: Vid_*** where your device will be found (You may have to enable permissions first).
Reconnect device. That's all
Not sure all because of Kies. Fact is that Android USB modem driver conflicting with Android ADB driver. Try to update them or simple disable USB modem driver.
One more possible solution is just connecting device to another usb port, however it helps not for long time.

Question about charging

Hi dears
I have some problem about charging. First of all I am using neatrom lite + jeboo v1f rebase. The problem is when I plug in my phone for charging my phone detects it few minutes later and same when I unplug the phone. Another thing is connecting the phone to computer by usb cable. Sometimes I can see my phone in my computer but sometimes my pc give error that unknown device connected.
What do u think about this? What could be the main problem for that. In my opinion my phone's plug area.

You could try and re-install the Samsung USB Drivers.
If that doesn't work then try to completely wipe KIES and the installed drivers from your computer and then re-instlling it from samsung.com.
That should work since Kies has had an update, but if it doesn't, then indeed it's the USB inserter in your phone (don't know what it's called ) which is the problem.

i5500 does not connect to PC.

Hello everybody,
I have a problem with my Samsung i5500. Every time i try to connect it to a PC it is not detected as a mass memory device and gos straight into charging mode just like i would connect the phone to the socket charger. The PC does not recognize the phone, it doesn't do anything, just like i never connected the phone through the USB port, but the phone is charging.
I tried to connect the phone on 3 different computers using 3 different micro-usb cables. On all 3 computers I installed the latest drivers for the i5500 and the same problem occurs every time.
Can anyone please help me with an advice. What should I do in order to get my phone connected and recognized by the PC?
In case you it helps you to know, I am using the stock 2.2 ROM and the phone is not rooted.
Thank you in advance.
i have EXACTLY the same problem, and it is not drivers problem. Any advice?
hey guys, This is the link to download for drivers.
http://d-h.st/iPk
If you use windows 8 or 8.1 then you will have to extract the file you download from the link above and then right click on the .exe file and go to 'properties', in that go to 'compatibility' and in that choose your operating system as "WINDOWS 7" and check the option below 'always run as administrator' and there you go. Double click on .exe file and follow steps. Install drivers. No need to restart the pc also. (if your phone also do not detect after installing these drivers only then restart).
Can you just try this out? I know it is maybe not driver problem but still you can try this.

[Q] Booting and USB problems running on Cooks-i777 Rom

I have been running on Cooks I777UCMD8 rom for about 2 months now and have had multiple powering issues. Have tried all the basic trouble shooting, not sure if its the Rom causing the issues or the AJK noswap Kernel, but nothing has been tweaked, running as is. The booting issue is when connecting a USB cable while the phone is powered off, if you try to turn the phone on while the USB cable is still attached you get a POWER RESET OR UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE error message, only way to avoid it is to remove the usb cable and hold power button then it powers up normally.
now the problem with the USB cable, and i feel these two are possibly related, my phone no longer recognizes when its attached to a computer usb hub, it charges, but dose not enter into mass storage mode, nor does the computer recognize that the phone is attached, i have tried on multiple computers with same results, and yes all drivers are downloaded on computers. Further information; Before this problem began accruing, I would get error messages after attaching the phone to a pc VIA usb cable saying ( ONE OF THE USB DEVICES ATTACHED TO THIS COMPUTER HAVE MALFUNCTIONED, AND WINDOWS DOES NOT RECOGNIZE IT ) also, after plugging in the usb cable and windows attempted to download the drivers this error also appeared ( DEVICE SOFTWARE WAS NOT SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED, CONSULT WITH YOUR DEVICE MANUFACTURER FOR ASSISTANCE ) it later resolved itself for a short time ( couple days ) but now when i connect the phone, nothing happens... i'm hoping somebody has had similar USB problems after flashing a new rom and knows whats going on.
additional information:
- i have two Galaxy S2 phones both running cooks-i777ucmd8 rom and both phones have had the exact same issues.
- previous problems also include boot looping, and frozen lock screen upon powering up the phone. has not happen in a while.
