Phone wont connect to computer via USB - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason my phone will not connect to my computer through my USB. I have tried everything and my debugging is on as well. yet still it does not connect. It charges the battery very slowly with USB, much faster with wireless charging. Adaptive fast charging does not work either.
No contact even with Odin via download mode. Have all the drivers and have tried different USB cords.
When you do not make contact with Odin, is it the hardware that is broken?
Have tried different roms in my phone.

I think it might be the USB port on the computer. I know my computer often has difficulty keeping a connection, even when I use a different cord.

Buy new cable because original samsung are defective. They work ok when charging, but usb data transfer is a hell. With new cable it works perfect but I am so disappointed with samsung. We have 2 s6 edge (32 and 64gb versions) in house with same cable issue ( I previously owned 3 S tabs and galaxy s, s2, s3 mini, s4, s5 mini and now s6 edge)...This is really really disappointing from Samsung. After S2 they started making lousy mobiles (s4 was ok)........Will not buy Samsung again!!!

Galaxy S2 does not recognize USB.

My samsung galaxy does not recognize that it's connected through a USB cable connected to my computer, and thinks it connected directly to the wall plug.
Is there any way to force-connect to the computer or something.
I don't know if it's the cable or the phone. I hope it's the cable, because it's a new cable, and this had never happened before. But then again, this should not happen. Right?
untick usb debugging in settings/applications/development
still nothing.
Have you installed kies or samsung usb drivers for s2 on your pc ???

Do you see some errors in Device manager?
If yes, try to update every driver marked as error.
Try to update windows. It's very important to install Samsung driver from windows updates. This is how do i resolved my problem.
Good luck!
I was just having the same problem myself, and found a possible solution. Make sure you're using the cable that comes with the phone. Other cables (such as for HTC phones) will charge the phone, but won't allow data transfer.

Phone only works with the Samsung USB Cable?

I cannot seem to get the phone to identify on the PC with anything but the Samsung USB cable.
The problem is... I think I already lost it.
I have 4 basically new microUSB cables from various sources and none of them will do anything but charge.
WTheck has samsung done?
Did you try changing the mode on your phone from Change Only to the Hard Drive one once you connect it?
Try a different USB port. This phone works on every USB cable I have in my possession.
i find mine charges really slow unless i use the samsung one:/

Because the phone only charges it does not adapt a mode and therefore wont' let me change it.
edit: fixed it. Problem was I used a program to try and turn on UMS mode and it wasn't working. Wouldn't do any other mode until I turned it back.
But I still have had problems usb cables. The one with my Nook for example wont work at all and it worked with both my nook and my atrix.
S3 wont even recognize on a mac.
surprize me with something amazing android your boring me.
Mine works with the Sensation cable on my main PC, my G2X cable on my laptop and with my Lumia cable in my gym (charger). It also works fine at work with a generic cable (on a PC). Either your phone or your cable is defective.
EDIT: make sure your drivers are up to date on your PC.
Mine works fine with BlackBerry/HTC/HP cables.

[Q] Galaxy S5 Doesnt Connect to PC

Hey There.
So i got a small problem. When i connect my phone to my computer with a misro usb (not 3.0) it doesnt recognize the phone at all. Normally on the phone it will show its in Camera or MTP mode oin the pull down menu but now its not showing anything but it does charge the phone. Did i hit a setting somewhere i didnt realize?
Any help is much appreciated.Been on the site quite a few times just reading the wealth of knowledge. First time ive had an issue where the answer isnt already posted here lol.
Thanks
But you're saying it does work with the original Samsung 3.0 USB cable? Then that would mean the phone doesn't like the other cord for some reason. Samsungs can be picky like that sometimes. Check the Device Manager for driver errors and try other ports, cords, and computers to make sure it's not a new issue with the phone's USB charge port.

[Q] USB does not connect to PC / ODIN / KIES - unable to detect

Hi. I want to fix my USB connection.
S2 I9100 charge via USB to PC work (however, Kies or Odin is unable to find and connect properly).
Action steps done:
1. Updated Windows 7 with Samsung drivers - still does not see it
2. *#7284# -- checked settings to see if USB is in PDA mode.. - YES
3. Unplug and replug USB.. still nothing pops up via PC and device.
4. USB utilities settings does not do anything when selected
Q:
1. Where can I go to fix it?
2. Is it a missing driver?
3. What is the hardware or software called (terminology so I can search)?
4. Is there other samsung codes I am able to use to fix it?
Thanks in advance.. It's driving me crazy ...
Sounds stupid but did you try a different cable? I've seen many (mostly cheaper) cables which sometimes work for charging but don't work for data connections and sometimes it's the other way around. Also it sometimes helps to try a different USB port.

I have the same problem of no communication with Kies on one of my devices.
I have the benefit of two I9100's, one will connect the other will not, so in my case the cable and drivers are confirmed as good. Is it a hardware issue?

I used the SAMSUNG cable and nothing....
I think you must change the USB connector from your phone! Its a known Problem of 9100! Its cheap and easy to change!
sent from Hell with my GT I9100

My device is able to charge via USB to PC, would it be hardware issue to be replace?
Is there another reference to show how to change it?
thanks for responding! appreciate any help!

Galaxy Note 4 Disconnecting and Reconnecting Rapidly to Laptop

I have been unable to maintain a stable connection via usb from my phone to my laptop, although charging via usb works just fine and does not flicker on/off. I have tried using other computers with the same cable and those computers have no problem detecting my phone. Here are things that I have tried to resolve this issue on my laptop:
>Disabling USB selective suspend under power options.
>Reinstalling drivers
>Installing Samsung Kies 3
>Enabled USB Debugging on my Note 4
>Using a different cable
>Using a different port (so far, all ports except one cannot recognize the phone at all. The one that does recognize the phone has the rapid connect/disconnect issue)
>Setting USB connection type to MTP
I should mention that I have CM13 rom on my phone, but that shouldn't be an issue because other PC's have no problem detecting the phone. Any ideas?
EDIT: I just tried connecting an s6 edge to the laptop and it worked fine, so maybe it does have something to do with the fact I have a custom rom on my note 4?
try to enable usb debugging and control your using vysor, if there is no problem, i think nothing wrong with your phone and cable

No luck. Since the phone keeps connecting/disconnecting, the same happens with vysor. I don't think the problem is with the cable. The same phone and cable works perfectly with other computers. I have tried connecting other note 4's that my family owns to this PC with stock roms and the same issue persists.
