[Q] Can't manage files on G3 - Sprint LG G3

I am trying to add some files to my phone via usb from my computer, but my pc will not recognize my G3. i have MTP selected and have tried many different ports on my computer. Im not sure if it is a USB 3.0 compatibility issue because all the ports i have are USB 3.0, so i can't test it out on a v2.0 port. Any one else have this problem?

Reinstall drivers.

I had the same issue. Have you enabled developer settings? Ticked USB debugging? If so untick it, and then mine worked.

yes, i did all of this, and it didn't work right away. I got it to work by installing LG PC suite. That installed the drivers i needed and now it works without any problems.

I have noticed that some ROM's will enable debugging, I personally run a MAC. But you may want to check those settings to see if its enabled/disabled. But if your charging on it you should be good. Have you tried to odin back to stock and seeing if that helps?
Other thing: do you have the samsung drivers installed on your PC? even if you don't you should still see the external storage just not the internal.

What rom are you using? If you are running one of the test CM7 builds you have to download the Google drivers from the Android SDK.
Does your phone show up when you mount it as external memory? Did you install the drivers and kies as an administrator?
exact same scenario!
I am having the exact same issues as the OP! Except that i have the unbranded gt-i9000. My galaxy s is completely stock, no custom firmware or launchers. Heck, after the last factory reset, not even any apps!
I have tried every suggestion on every search i could do. I have 4 computers with xp sp3, win7 sp1, ubuntu 10.04.1, and mac os x 10.5.8. Nothing is working on any of them. I've even tried different usb cables, just to rule that out.
Could it be a samsung hardware issue?

USB problem

Hello, I'm trying to connect my s5830 to my PC; Phone and computer beep like they are working, but it keeps giving me a "USB device Not Recognized" message. (it does charge by the way)
As per my previous research, this is what i've tried so far:
- On other computers, windows 7 and xp, same message.
- replaced usb cable, same message.
- factory wipe, same thing.
- cache wipe, wont run(?) - maybe this is a clue?
Its running on stock 2.2.1 firmware with no mods, not even extra apps. I actually have another s5830 (from a friend) and it works fine when i connect it to my home computer (windows 7) or my laptop (windows xp)
Any ideas of how to solve the problem? Thanks in advance.
Delete your drivers, reinstall kies and reconnect.

Just tried that, no luck,thanks for the advice.

Delete the usb driver, uninstall kies then restart your pc.
After restart, dont plug your phone to the pc yet. Install kies.
After installing kies, plug your phone and let kies detect it.

No luck...maybe something is wrong with the phone itself?

Just CONNECT to another USB port.
If its not helping and like I see you have same problem with other PC-s too, then I think its your phone HARDWARE problem. Bring it to SAMSUNG service.
CHEERS!
Thanks, im going to take it tomorrow to see about getting it fixed.

I'm facing the similar problem too. Kies on my pc couldn't detect my SGA. N there's no "usb connection" n " usb debugging" icon appear on my SGA. What actually is the problem?
I had this problem after upgrading kies the solution was inside kies under tools there is a install driver option kies then loaded what I presume are newer drivers and it worked
i tried install driver for a few times. the problems remain unsolved! i connect my SGA to pc, the only thing it can do is charging...

My seem irrelevent... but you may want to check your permissions for USB... may be the USB permission has been turned off.
Try using any externel drive see if it works.

[Q] Help needed with USB Mass Storage problem

Morning all.
As of yesterday, my S2 won't connect to any pc in mass storage mode.
At first it connected as it should, but after about 5 minutes - before I'd transferred anything - I got a message that windows couldn't recognise the device/driver installation unsuccessful.
Since then I get this message immediately, have tried 4 different pcs.
Would seem the USB drivers are FUBAR somehow, but MTP via Kies works, as does Odin.
I've tried a full factory reset/reinstall, previous backups - stock and custom - removed, reinstalled and updated Kies, cleaned the USB port on the phone - nothing doing. Have tried stock kernels, Siyah, Nimphetamine - nothing. Currently on XWKL1, custom ROM (krinyo's SlimROM) with Siyah 2.6.3+
Also tried uninstalling various USB ports on my home pc, but stopped when I discovered it was the same on all pcs.
It's not the end of the world - I have bluetooth and my microSD - but it's a PITA and I'm out of ideas.
Many thanks for any help/suggestions.

Yes, forgot to add that, sorry. Tried with and without, no difference.
Tried changing the usb cable?
From another post
Dear All
Following are my observations and possible steps to
1. When the phone is upgraded to Android 2.3.4 and above (mine is 2.3.6) Kies stops recognizing the phones and USB connection / Serial port connections etc get reset on the phone
2. Even if proper drivers are there on the laptop (mine is Windows 7 64bit) they are not recognized
3. Device Manager shows "unknown device"
4. Updating the driver also does not result in any help
5. solution lies in the phone
a. key in the dialer *#7284#
b. it has 4 option there..
UART (MODEM/PDA)
USB (MODEM/PDA)
c. For USB. select the PDA.if it already selected to PDA. reselect it by select MODEM and then PDA again.. Only change the USB setting.. andthen press back. try reconnect (thanks to napi1 @ androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-international/447145-sgs2-kies-not-syncing-os-2-3-5-a.html#post3484588)
6. The Laptop will start recognizing the required drivers and install them

Getting a Service Mode FC when I enter that code in the keypad.
Will try it with an older backup.
Edit - tried it with a backup of CheckROM , 2.3.6. No FC, PDA already selected. Tried 5c above, still no good - unknown device on pc..

No. Can't see that there's a problem there if Kies and Odin connect OK.

Bugger me, it was the cable....
Bought a new S2 yesterday - nice to have a backup, and the Nexus is meh - and tried the new cable on old S2, everything fine. Old cable on new S2, no good for USB but fine for Kies and Odin as mentioned before.
No idea why it should be like this, but sh*t happens. Easiest solution is often the best!
same problem happened to me too
I have the exact same problem, tried everything like OP, even new cable still same issue...any ideas?

New S2 can not connect to PC

I just received a replacement S2 from AT&T, my old S2's USB port went out. I am wanting to root through Odin and get CM9 back on but I can not get my phone to connect to my PC. I have tried on my main PC Windows 7 64 bit and my laptop Windows XP. The phone is running 2.3.6 KK6. When I connect it I see MTP Initialization followed by MTP Connected on my phone, but nothing on my computer. When connecting in Mass storage mode by either enabling usb debugging or through settings -> wirelss -> USB Utilities the phone will just beep when connecting. I've tried the following to fix:
- Installed Kies, Reinstalled Kies
- Installed just the Samsung USB driver
- *#7284# on my phone and made sure PDA was selected under USB. Even switched to Modem then back to PDA.
- Tried removing my MicroSD card
- Multiple reboots
- Tried 2 different cables
- Tried different USB ports
Any other ideas on how to fix?
Try this dude.

First thing I would try is to completely uninstall the usb drivers in Windows, and then reinstall the usb drivers from this thread.
Well...I fixed my issue and want to headbutt a kitten as well. Turned out that I wasn't using a MicroUSB cable that was able to do Data as well as charge. Guess all MicroUSB cables are not created equally. I had 3 that I tried and they would just charge the device. I talked to Samsung and they asked if I was using my "Official" Samsung cable. I thought I was, turns out I wasn't. I went to Walmart and got a cable certified for Data and all is good in the world. Connected to my PC instantly.
So if you are having issues, check to make sure you are using your Samsung cable or one that is certified for data.

S4 Not Detecting PC Connection

Ok, so I found a few older threads on this, but no tips in them seem to work in my case. I can't seem to get my S4 to see the PC/USB connection and prompt to select Media Device or the like. The USB icon never even appears in the notification bar. The PC recognizes connection (USB tone sounds) and shows device ready to use, but phone never gives the option. Doesn't seem to matter if USB Debugging is checked or not, or anything else that I can find so far. Here's the things I can generally eliminate:
2 different USB cables worked on wife's S4 on two different PCs. Neither cable or PC worked with my S4
Tried reinstalling Samsung USB drivers just to be sure
Cold booted phone
Tried unchecking and re-checking USB debugging (also tried with it unchecked)
So when we take in working fine on wife's S4, I'd generally guess that we can eliminate cable and PC from the potential problem list. Phone is currently on stock rom, but rooted. Outside of that and freezing VZ Support, Knox, and VZ Tones, no other modifications to the OS. At this point, I'm pretty stumped. Any suggestions on other steps to try?
The problem is your USB settings in the hidden dialers. Look for tutorials on how to enable them, and once found, type *#0808#, and a list of usb otions will come up. Pick any with MTP and they'll work again.
Worked perfect. Thanks muchly!

Not to threadjack, but...
On a related issue, win update tried to update my samsung ADP, etc drivers and failed. Ever since, I cannot connect to the PC. The PC doesn't even notice that the phone is connected. I tried the above fix to no avail (it is set to MTP) I uninstalled and reinstalled kies, tried troubleshooting the usb connection, ect...
Please help.

Try installing/reinstalling Kies, it comes bundled with all the samsung drivers you'll need
Tried that. Twice. To no avail.
But it is no longer a problem. I installed eclipse rom and it now works again.
Who knows what went wrong...
And now it's not working again. Reinstalled (dirty) the ROM without any change. Thoughts?
