yesterday i succeeded with connecting the sg2 to my car stereo via usb,
using the following instructions
usb debugging mode off
while Idle then I go to usb utilities and press connect to storage pc
then I connect the usb cable
yesterday it worked fine, although i was bummed it did not read the music on the external sd card, just the music that is stored on the 16 Gb built in sd card, what a bummer.
BUT today i could not connect it and my car stereo gave me usb N/A
i tired to connect my experia play and my iphone and both worked and connected immediately via usb to my car stereo withut any hassles,
what is wrong here, and why only do i face that with the S2.
I also noticed 2 days ago that every time i connect my phone to the computer and usb debugging mode is on after i disconnect the drives from the computer and then press disconnect from my phone the phone turns off. I did a hard reset hoping it would solve the problem and also formatted my external sd card to fat 32 but still no solution. I have installed kies on my laptop and it identifies the note successfully. Why does the note keep turning off when I disconnect it from my laptop or computer
I really need to solve this as I depend on listening to music in my car using the usb cable as listening to the music directly from the sg2 via 3.5mm cable is really bad on my stereo compared to using the note as storage card.
I was so put down when I compared the same song being played from xperia play with the sg2 using poweramp with the same settings, as the sound coming from the xperia play was good compared to the sg2 which was awful. In this comparison both phones where connected via 3.5mm cable to the car stereo, so I have no choice now to only listen to music using the note as a storage card by connecting it to the car stereo via usb cable
this is when I miss the iphone when everything works out of the box, and I don't have to struggle like this
Please help me in solving this as its driving me crazy
Just got a Galaxy S3 a few days ago, everything was going fine. Transferring music to my phone from my MacBook Pro using Android File Transfer. Half way through the app stops transferring and I have to force quit on my laptop. Now when I reattach my usb cable I get the following message: "No Android device found Please connect your Android device with a USB cable to get started" My cable is connected, my phone is charging, but the phone is not showing that it is connected (no usb in notifications, can't choose between MTP/PTP...) So I can't continue to transfer my music I restarted both my MacBook Pro and phone. I tried to see if its my phone by connecting to my dock in my car and everything works fine, my Car Home Ultra app opens and works fine. HELP please. How can I get my phone to recognize my cpu via USB? It was working fine, but now nothing other than charging. I read on another thread too toggle USB debugging in developer options, tried both to no avail. Help please, I am an Android noob.
Is anyone else using a pci usb card and trying to connect your phone to it? It keeps connecting/disconnecting no matter if I choose MTP, camera, or mass storage. Works fine with my laptop or my other computer with working usb ports. I just want to make sure it's my damn computer what's causing this problem.
Note: I tried different cables.
I bought a bluetooth dongle on Amazon (ORICO BTA 403, CSR8510 A10 chipset) and installed it on my Windows 7 x64 computer.
The dongle installs fine and works perfectly with all my older phones but not with my Xperia S running Android 4.1.2.
Basically, if I install the automatic windows driver, and pair with the phone, windows complains about no drivers for the device, and I can't do anything with it.
If I install the supplied software (CSR Harmony wireless software stack) I can pair and the Xperia S is installed properly, the various audio services work (I can stream music to PC using BT), but I still can't send or receive files, either from PC to Phone or from Phone to PC.
The connection times out after a second and gives me a connectivity error. It's like the phone refuses to connect to the PC, both when transferring and receiving.
I don't know if the phone is the problem, it seems to not work only when doing file transfers with PC, if I try to transfer files to other phones or to my mac (which has built in BT) it works fine.
Is there any way to fix this issue? Any way to troubleshoot this issue to tell if the problem comes from the phone or the dongle?
Searching with google I can't find any solution, I just get lost into a sea of bluetooth problems which have nothing to do with what I'm experiencing.
By the way, using Airdroid instead of BT is not a fix.

Hi
I just purchased a similar BT usb dongle to use with my Windows7 32bit laptop, model name/number BTA-CSR4B5 Inateck USB Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy USB Adapter USB 2.0 Wireless Bluetooth Adapter with LED Indicator For PC Desktop Computer Laptop Notebook, Compatible with Windows XP/ Vista/ 7/ 8 & Bluetooth 3.0/ 2.0, Support Bluetooth Stereo.
I want to use it for streaming audio to my headphones, I have successfully installed application/drivers with no problems then plug in dongle which searched & installed from windows more drivers which in compatibility mode and run as administrator installed ok, but then when i pair my BT headphones again auto search tries to find & install more drivers but always fails so i cannot get audio connection from laptop to BT HP's although there is a BT connection between dongle & HP's, I have tried another pair of BT HP's but get the same problem. any help from any1 most appreciated.

your problem is bare and I think you can try these two solutions out:
1- Restart your phone and check whether your problem has solved or not. 2- Restart your windows and also turn off your Antivirus and firewall and try again.

1.Its not a phone its Headphones. 2.Restart made no difference plus Antivirus/firewall not the cause, seems to be a driver problem when installing from windows update! Ta all the same.
The problem is ****ty drivers from the manufacturer. I installed Bluesoleil and it worked perfectly. Another solution is to use the Windows stack by manually installing drivers from the MS Windows Mobile Suite (or whatever it's called, I don't remember) but that only supports file transfer.
I've been trying to find information about this on the web but I've failed to do so.
I bought a Kingston Micro duo USB C 3.0 and it worked a couple of times (I had to manually change to MTP) using the USB C connector straight on my S9+.
I've been trying to get it working again on my phone with no luck. Everytime I connect the USB C end on my phone, it will show on the notification tray "Usb charging device" and "USB connector connected", this last one will disappear in a matter of seconds.
I've set the default to be MTP using Developer Options and even select MTP for the device once it connects, but it just reverts its status.
I know for a fact the USB C end works because I can connect it to my computer (Windows and MacOS) and I've tried formatting it using a lot of different formats, still when I connect the USB C to the device it doesn't read it.
I managed to get the drive working using my USB C dongle (Which has 2 USB A 3.0, but no power passthrough) and connecting the USB A side to it and my phone recognized the drive instantly! So I formatted the drive using my phone, connected the USB C end on the device and it doesn't recognize it.
It seems it's just a bug on the Samsung device or something. I guess Samsung is moving towards USB C but they are not thinking on all the stuff you can connect.
I found this link https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...g-defaults-to-charge-other-device/td-p/183539 and this other https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/note-8-usb-otg-t3680207 but so far no solution.
Edit:
I just tested my drive with an S8 and it worked without issues (the USB C end) and was able to test it on another S9's and they don't recognize it.
Mine works without issue. Not sure what's happening with yours sadly. Edit - mine's the Micro Duo 3C, but I can't imagine there'd be much difference.
Same here. Today I had hard times getting to work my USB stick and a default dongle. Every time I inserted the dongle the notification goes "USB charging device" and changing to "transfer files" doesn't change anything. Playing a bit made a 32gb stick visible in a file manager (namely x-plore) and I was able to transfer files to it. But no PC recognizes the stick so far...
