USB Problem - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

ok when i plug my player into my laptop, the laptop makes a sound like it knows its plugged in. I have all the drivers installed and never had an issue before but now it shows up in device manager as an unknown device with the yellow triangle. My player won't even show that its connected to a pc and i can't mount it. It also doesn't acknowledge when its plugged into the charger. if I turn it off and plug it in, it just comes on. It used to go to the battery charging screen and i would have to manually turn it on. the fact that my laptop acknowledges that something is plugged in makes me think its not a hardware problem and the fact that i take really good care of it. any ideas??

Wrong section.
is this only your laptop? Does it work on other computers?

sadly i don't have another computer to try it out on. but right when i read this i plugged it in my xbox and it started charging.... and it still won't charge with the wall charger
sorry about the wrong section also

It may sound stupid but turn off your player and turn it on again. This happened to me once and that did the trick

that was my first thought but it didn't help. it won't even mount in recovery mode

ok i just tried it on a friends laptop and it shows up as unknown also

try deleting it from your laptop and let it install again worked for me : )

it always shows up as unknown... just did a full wipe and reflash and nothing has changed

Have you installed Kies. You can use the reinstall the driver option. Another thing is while it is plugged in uninstall the device in the device manager. Then unistall everything under you universall serial bus controller one at a time. Then click on the action command at top of menu bar and scan for new hardware.It will reinstall the usb hubs and root hub. Make sure your player is unplugged when you do this. Then reinstall the samsung usb drivers then plug in after everything is done.

Exact same thing happened to me. Try using a different cable. I used a different cable and it started working normally again. Remember to plug it in and out slowly to avoid damaging it.

One easy thing to check for is whether or not the PC detects the player. Assuming you have Win 7 (the steps for Win XP is nearly identical), right click on My Computer and select "Manage." Go to "Device Manager" and find out whether or not your devices is listed under "Universal Serial Bus controllers"
I had this problem happen to me before and the first step in its solution was going here. (The rest of the info is on multiple threads around here)

ok i tried uninstalling it in device manager and reinstalling the drivers with kies but it still registers as an unknown device. i tried 3 different cables and so far the only way to get it to charge is to plug it into my xbox while the the xbox is off.... i can't get mass storage cuz my player doesn't recognize its connected to a pc... it doesn't acknowledge when i plug it into the wall charger still. the last thing i remember doing before this happened was i installed minfree manager and used some settings i found on the internet somewhere and then i deleted the data to Wild Blood and uninstalled it because i couldn't get it to run without lag

what drivers are installed? it'll tell you when it tries to check for drivers, checking off what you have and what driver-installations failed, if you check for it in the lower right hand corner

ok i charged it to 100 percent with my xbox and now it will at least charge when plugged into my laptop but not mount. it still doesn't charger with the wall charger either. i have no idea how to check what drivers i have installed. i assume they're right because i downloaded the kies from the samsung website as it was the only download option for the yp-g70 ... i've uninstalled the "unknown device" repeatedly with no luck. i even tried to update the drivers and point it to the usb drivers folder in the kies installation folder and it still doesn't work... idk what to do...

At least you can charge mine won't charge using anything I'm down to 15% I don't know what to do, I'm having the same problem as yours ima try using my ps3 to charge

Well, I had the exact problem a few months ago and fixed it. Disclaimer- low-medium risk. no responsibility here
I'll give you the condensed version, since the whole is posted elsewhere. after deleting the existing drivers from the laptop, I plugged in the SGP. in the icon tray, the lower right corner, there's this gray box that appears with circular, moving arrows. Right click to see what's being installed. It's automatically connecting to your USB device and searching for teh drivers. every driver but the Mass Storage driver (I forgot the exact name of the file- MTB comething?) installed properly. from there I went to the device manager and found option under the USB controller in properties to fix the problem. took me a few tries.

i mean delete your usb files on your laptop when you plug it in it will install the usb drivers then it should work again : )

thank you everyone who helped i'll make sure to go thru and click thanx for all of you. especially since this was the wrong place to post this. i finally got it to work. i noticed that my usb cord smelled like my cologne and so i wiped it down with alcohol and a qtip only to see the qtip turn green. from there i knew there was corrosion involved so i followed the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30778095&postcount=1 and now everything is back to normal so again thanks everyone!!

[Q] Issue connecting Fascinate to Computer

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)

New kinda Charging problem:((

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????

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

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

Cannot connect to pc.

I installed the newest htc sync and got the updated drivers that came with the install. I restarted my phone several times, even restarted my computer several times. But I can still not see my phone on my computer. I want to do a factory restore and want to back up all the stuff from my phone. How can I get my phone to show up on my computer again? It charges from my computer, but there is no recognition of it when I plug it in, or no option on my phone saying which I would like to do when the phone is plugged in. I have the default set to data drive.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Not at all showing up in my device manager. I unplugged my mouse and saw it leave device manager. Plugged my phone in and nothing appeared in it. Put mouse back in and it showed up right away. I'm looking at all the usb connections and the mouse is the only one that is coming up.

Just uninstall, try a different port, a different cable would help too, since it sounds like your cable is damaged if it isn't even showing up in device manager, which practically shows everything, no matter what the issue.

Uninstalled htc sync, htc driver, and then restarted. Installed it again and still no luck. My phone charges when it's plugged into my computer and even can tell when I unplug the cord from the computer. I haven't really changed anything on either my phone or computer that could have changed it from working. It was at one point working. I'll try with my sisters blackberry cord as I don't have any other cords for just the amaze.

Sure enough it was the usb cable. I tried my sisters blackberry cord and as soon as I plugged it in I heard the new device popup sound. I wouldn't even think of a faulty cord as it was charging fine, I just figured it was something with my computer. Thanks so much for the help.

DNA now won't connect to PC

So I was just going to change ROMs, and I realized that my DNA won't connect to a PC over USB anymore. I always plug it in at work via USB to a laptop to charge, and it would normally open the autostart/autorun window, which I would always notice because I'll switch computers often. Last week the autostart dialog stopped opening, but I was distracted with work being busy and it just went to the back of my mind.
Until now.
I've checked all the normal trivial stuff... trying different cables, using different USB ports, and obviously different PCs. It also won't be detected by ADB. Yes, developer options are enabled, yes USB debugging is enabled. It sounds to me like its the port on the phone, so then I'm screwed, but I was just wondering if anyone knows any tricks I can try.
Are you running a custom rom? Go to settings>storage>storage settings>USB computer connection and make sure the connect as Media device (MTP) is checked. Same thing happened to me and some how this setting was unchecked

You going to laugh at me but download PDAnet and it will redownload the correct drivers.

Have you found a solution for this? I am in the exact same situation with no solutions working for me. I tried PDAnet and many other things. The device is unrecognized by my computer completely not even showing up in the device manager. This likely is a hardware issue, but I'm rooted with no way to return to stock because I can't connect to my computer which makes me unable to use my warranty for repair. This is a really unfortunate pickle as I'm not sure if I can even do anything at this point. I have found online that people with a hardware issue with connecting to their computers also had the slow charge notification when charging either through the computer or the power adapter. Mine does not display slow charge which gives me some hope that it is somehow a driver issue. Do you get the slow charge notification at all?
EDIT: It's a hardware issue for me. Noticed my charger is sticking slightly more out than usual, and it just can't get the right connection

Hey guys, just figured I'd follow up. Sorry for the delay, XDA email notifications somehow ended up in my spam folder.
Anyway, for me it just turned out to be that all the cables I tried were bad. Pretty low odds, I'm actually surprised both my cable at home and the one at work were all bad. Sure enough I tried it with a coworker's cable and it worked fine.

PC can't detect my phone

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

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?

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.
