So I just got my bootloader unlocked today. I went home this evening to plug my phone into my computer and start installing the custom recovery, only to find that both computers in my house won't recognize the phone when it's plugged in. To my dismay, no USB icon showed up in the status bar, and it just said "Charging". No notification in Windows (or the Ubuntu computer either). Either my cable has gone bad and only charges, or the original cable doesn't transfer data. I've also checked to make sure that Media Device (MTP) is checked. Funny thing was I was using the cable from my OG Droid at work today to charge my phone on the work computer. I know the USB Debugging icon had shown up so I know it was working properly, it won't show up on my computers at home.
Can anyone confirm with me that the original cable is USB only?
No, the original cable should do both. Try another cable though, or use port on the pc. Otherwise it's your drivers on the pc.
You have USB debugging checked in developer options? You have drivers installed on your computer? Making sure to use the USB port on the back of the computer, not the front?

I just got the Captivate last week. I've noticed that it doesn't recognize the USB connection if I just plug in the cable at "normal" speed. If I plug in the USB cable s-l-o-w-l-y the phone recognizes the cable and everything works. If I don't plug in s-l-o-w-l-y the computer gives me a USB inserted sound but the phone doesn't seem to know it is connected.
I've also noticed that the phone will (with the slow insertion) always say usb connected once the cable is inserted even if the computer end is not connected.
Anyone else experience this? Thoughts? Bad phone or bad cable?
What ROM are you using?
What USB Drivers do you have installed if any?
What OS are you running?
Pretty much it depends... if your using a custom ROM that could be the culprit though it doesn't sound like it from what you have posted.
Try re-installing your USB drivers for the Samsung Captivate. Make sure your running the correct version. (Search for Design Gears OTA Odin 1 Click post - has the drivers linked there).
And of course... it could be your computer itself. Reboot fixes 90% of all computer issues
Firmware 2.1-update1
Baseband I897UCJH7
Stock - not rooted. Drivers do not seem to be the issue. It happens on multiple computers. Rebooting phone and/or computer does not change things. Same under Windows and Linux.
I kind of have to slowly inch the USB cable into the phone until the phone recognizes it. If the computer end is not connected to anything, the phone sometimes still will recognize the USB cable and say USB connected. If I plug the phone end in first, then the computer end the phone doesn't recognize the connection.

mine is doing the same thing.
im in the process of a warranty replacement........does it from stock rom all the way to cogb2.3
This question is all over and i'm a lil lost. I just got my 7.7, stock P6800. I plug it into my mac and there's this cross on the batt on the device. I'm assuming it wont charge with the USB cable that came with it. So i went to buy another. Same problem.
I installed Kies on my mac and it can sync tho. I just can't seem to be able to mount it to my mac and transfer files like a USB drive.

have you tried turning off usb debugging?
also the tab won't charge with the usb connected to the pc cuz the charge voltage is too low.. you need to modify your build.prop to force usb charging or flash sk806(steve's) custom rom
yes i toggled USB debugging on/off. :S
I'm new to the Atrix HD, but have been around since the OG Droid (followed by a Droid 2, Droid 4, then Galaxy Nexus). I just picked up an Atrix HD for the first time.
USB works for fastboot - Windows 7 recognizes it, fastboot shows USB connected.
If phone is turned off, and connect USB to PC, phone boots up.
If phone is turned off, and connect USB to power adapter, it will charge.
Once booted into android, USB does not work at all. I've tried 2 different cables (both of which work to power it when connected to the wall charger) and 2 different physical machines across 3 different OS's - all with the same result. Once in Android, USB is not recognized. Nothing happens, no indication in the OS that a device is even detected.
I've tried RSD back to stock - but this did not resolve the issue.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Weird... Which Recovery are you using? Also, when did this problem started? Did you formated any partition? Any new ROM?

It was completely stock - OS and recovery.
I purchased it off ebay, so - I'm not sure when it started. I've been in contact with the buyer, and he said he never tried connecting to a PC.
With that being said, I was able to get it to work on my mac with a Nook cable. Same cable will not work in on my laptop in Win 7 or in Fedora 20 for this phone.
While not ideal, I was able to get the phone to it's desired state by using the mac (CWM recovery and CM11 ROM). After changing to CWM and CM11, phone exhibits same behavior still on Win 7 and Fedora when using a generic or genuine OEM Motorola cable (came with my Droid 4) as well as using the cables on the Mac. The only way it works is with the Nook cable on the Mac. Using the OEM or generic while attached to a wall adapter, the phone does charge.
The only thing I can think of with the Nook cable is that the connector is slightly longer than a typical USB adapter. I'm not sure why this works as I can not see any damage to the phone's USB socket.

This is really weird. But I think this is a hardware issue, even when the port may not show any signs of abuse or something like that. If you connect the OEM Motorola cable to the Mac, does it works? If it doesn't, it's very likely to be hardware issue. Also, you got it from Ebay, that's suspicious... Any way, another thing that you can do is download all Motorola drivers for Windows and try with a ton of USB cables.
Stupid question, but what exactly are you trying to do with it? And do you have USB debugging enabled?

Charging would be a good start, but file xfer would be nice too. I've tried with USB debugging both disabled and enabled.
Hi!
I have a problem with my Lenovo K3 Note.
Can't transfer files from PC using USB cable (it only charges). Computer doesn't recognize and no notification or option to change connection type on Smartphone.
The only way to connect to PC via USB is when i have TWRP recovery open. In this case i can transfer files, etc
Already tried in different computers with different cables and with USB debug on and off.
Any help would be very appreciated
Make sure your device's screen is unlocked.
Connect your device to your computer using a USB cable.
On your device, pull down your notification drawer by swiping down from the top of the screen.
Hi
Just plugged my Android 12 Samsung S21U into my Windows 11 PC but nothing showed on the PC. I woke the phone and tapped on the "charging" notification but nothing happened.
Went to developer settings and set the Default USB Config (which was off) to "Transfer Files"
Set USB debugging to be on too.
Still no avail.
Any help?
Is dex working? Or maybe a driver issue?
I've just installed Dex.
Samsung said I should make sure the phone is in the correct MTP when using the dialpad to type in *#0808# - which it is.
Tried installing the drivers from the Samsung website (although the UK version of the site doesn't offer any drivers) - not working.
I can connect the phone using the "link to Windows" but this won't let me connect normally.
Both Windows and the phone are fully up to date with all the latest.
Just restarted the phone and can connect to Dex, although I think it's doing it wirelessly rather than through the cable.
Yes, have tried another PC (another W11 PC).
Yes, have tried another cable (both high speed purple and low speed).
Yes, have tried another phone on both PCs and that shows fine.
What worries me a little is that Device Manager doesn't show anything connected to the PC when I connect the phone.
Turns out you need the official Samsung cable, which is USB-C to USB-C only.
My PC doesn't have a USB-C connector so looks like I'm gonna have to purchase one.
Shame they've gone the Apple route - my old Huawei P30 Pro will connect for data transfer using any old cable, of which we have loads around these days.

Pretty sure this is false. My S21U gets recognized on my PC with a normal USB A to USB C cable.
Agreed. That is just not true, I've used a USB A to C worked fine
Hmm, maybe my three cables I tried are too old?
They're from Amazon and don't particularly state they work with Samsung phones.
The plot thickens.
