Hi,
When I plug my S4 into the USB port on my laptop it doesn't try to install drivers or anything. The phone starts to charge and that's it. I have USB Debuggin checked. I have tried this on 3 different Windows 7 PCs. I have latest drivers installed but that doesn't even matter because it never get to where it asks for drivers. I've looked all over for USB options and there isn't any.Anyone else ever have this problem?
Any help appreciated.
Are you rooted and running a rom other than stock?

Bone stock
Is this the stock cable? Have you tried another USB port?
I tried 2 different cables and 2 different laptops. Neither acknowledge I have a device plugged in.
I just another cable and this time on my desktop and still doesnt acknowledge anything is plugged in.
Wonder if an app you downloaded it causing it not to reconize it properly. Can you list what apps you have installed?

I'm going to wipe and reset the phone and try it again..stay tuned!
ok I wiped and reset my phone. All I did was unlock dev options. Check USB debugging and unknown sources under security and again my PC doesnt acknowledge it at all. It just goes into changing mode. I'm stumped
Edit: I'm going to wipe again and this time plug it in before I unlock dev options..
Edit2: wiped again, plugged in to PC and same thing....nothing..
Bump for help!
Are you using the supplied Samsung cable? I have at least 10 generic "micro usb to usb" cables at home that only allow charging. And only 2 or 3 that actually allow data transfer and make my computer see the phone. Seems like the one that came with the phone, and 2 of my motorola branded cables work, but none of the other many cable do anything other than charge the phone. Other than that, i'm stumped. I'd take it back if all else fails.

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

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.

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.

Hi everyone. I own a GS3 that has been running flawlessly for about 3 weeks but since last 2 days it has developed a problem whereby it only charges via the laptop USB port and not the wall charger. I have tried factory reset, flashed two different custom ROMs based on two different firmwares, pulled battery many times, etc etc, to no avail.
The problem is random, and occasionally the phone starts charging from wall charger, but after a few minutes, charging stops. I have used the original Samsung charger, my old HTC charger, with a combination of many different USB cables and the result is always the same. The USB port appears to be undamaged however as I can use it flawlessly for everything except wall charging - that includes HDMI, USB OTG purposes, laptop file transfer etc.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Some inexplicable weirdness.
Try to return the phone. If you can reproduce the problem in the Samsung service centre they'll repair/replace for sure.

When you connect to laptop, does it recognize it as a mass storage? Are you able to transfer files?

Yes, it shows up as a Media Device and I'm able to use it normally for transfers etc. There is absolutely no problem when connected to laptop, The issue is inability to charge from wall charger - any kind, and even that is sporadic. For example, if i try connecting wall charger and the phone doesn't charge, I can jumpstart it by connecting to USB port on my laptop for a few minutes, and then when I connect it to the wall charger, it starts charging again... but this lasts only a few mins before it stops charging again. With USB however, it never stops and charges all the way upto 100%
did you tried a full wipe via odin? also can you charge your mobile offline via AC? as you said you can transfer data perfeclty via usb it seems the port is damaged at all. One more thing, did you tried charging with different plug points?

Yes bala I have tried every single PowerPoint at home. No difference. The problem is sporadic.
What do you mean offline charging? Do you mean airplane mode?
I haven't tried a wipe using Odin...but I have done a full wipe and system format and clean installed CheckRom v2 after the full wipe via CWM recovery.
Is wiping via Odin different from wiping via CWM ?

i meant charging the phone after turning it off.
odin generally flashes all partitions so it should be better than cwm in this case.

Yup I tried offline charging too. Phone didn't charge with wall charger. Needed to plug in the USB cable into laptop and it started charging.

I have tried three different chargers. Two Samsung and one HTC. Same problem. Full Odin flash is in order I guess... but I'm not in my hometown right now so don't have the bill etc for warranty. When I get back to Delhi I'll try calling in for a replacement.
For now I flashed the latest cfroot via Odin and looks like the charging issue is gone for now, but like I said before it is a random thing...can occur anytime. I'll keep a lookout for this...

same problem since yesterday, infact i m not able to charge throught either of wall charger or usb port.....after i reboot my around 2-3 times i can charge back through wall charger but as soon as i connect back to pc it stops charging.....could this because i m using a diffrent usb cable in pc?
I think i know the reason
The charging port has many pins(see the usb port in light, you will see metal pins having gap in between of them) inside it
pc and charger connects to different pins, so I think charger pins would be damaged or covered with an insulator like dirt
IF YOU LIKE MY WORK, THANK ME BY THE BUTTON BELOW

So it looks like this problem is more common than I thought it was...and I'm not the only one...
Will have to do some more reading up on this. BTW, tried a small fix and the charging seems to be OK now... but will have to test it for a couple more days to actually declare it a "fix". Let's see what happens over the next 24-48 hours.
me too havin same problem
I have the opposite problem.
When plugged into PC I can transfer files etc but its not charging.
It charges via wall charger though, but I prefer to charge via USB.
I really don't know what we should attribute this problem to... I'm going to try getting a warranty replacement, but I seriously doubt Samsung is going to entertain that as the problem is sporadic and not consistently demonstrable....
Maybe I'll just wait till the USB dies totally before claiming warranty...

I'm running a Win7 laptop, I have downloaded the drivers from the GS3 page on Samsung's website, DL'ed Kies, deleted, re-installed all the above. I plug the phone in with the supplied cable, all it does is charge. Rebooted the laptop several times, the phone also.
It see's my Skyrocket and Note, but not my GS3...
I did search first, as I always do, but seems I'm the only one to have this issue.
It's not rooted.
I had this problem. I had to switch cables.

For me it took a battery pull. Had the same issue where it would only charge when plugged into a computer. This happened for me after experimenting with various non-samsung chargers and usb cables.

I'll be damned...battery pull did the trick! Wish I had done that before I factory reset.

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

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.
