Just one more shot, go to active sync/windows mobile device center and see if you have "enable usb connections" box checked? that's in archive>connection settings
Its possible its a faulty wire. My mom and I had regular USB, and they were horrible. We got docs for them and they sync alot better.

Bruv, I have your same phone (made in taiwan) HTC s621 and I don't use the original USB cable, I use a motorola cable...I even used sometimes a digital camera phone usb cable (since some of them are standard) and sync everytime with no issue at all. Try what I posted before, if not reinstall activesync in your PC.

It's your cable. Go to Radio Shack and buy their $26 micro-USB cable. I tried stock USB cables from Samsung and Palm on several different computers and consistantly got the "unrecognized USB device." As soon as I switched to a better cable, every single computer that couldn't recognize my Epic before, now recognizes it every time I connect.

If these don't work, then find and install "pdanet" (without the quotes)..
Select samsung and you're golden. This was the only way I could get my 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate machine to recognize my device.
If this still doesn't work, go to Radio shack and get the nice cable (like was mentioned above)... I have one and it works like a champ.
I hope this helps
HI
i tried the 64 bit it also fail to install on my windows xp in i hope its just my usb i just bought a usb again this time from ebay thanks guys

Again, its the cable. I just verified it again by plugging in my stock Samsung cable and got the "Unrecognized USB device" warning. I DO NOT get that with the Radio Shack cable. I can't promise you that the cable you are getting from eBay will be any better. If it doesn't work, then its just another crappy cable. However, I can promise you that the Radio Shack cable will work.
THANK YOU

Well the good news is you can charge your phone with all of the cables you got and the shipping was free. Otherwise, I'll bet you get the same problem with the micro-usb cable. You get what you pay for...maybe you got lucky. The Radio Shack cable was $26. Way too much to spend for a stinkin' USB cable, but I finally threw in the towel and spent the money. Fortunately, every machine I plugged it into recognized it immediatley.
THANKS

Go into control panel, system, device manager and try hitting update drivers on Samsung Android with phone connected with usb debugging on. If that don't work uninstall drivers and reinstall. Reboot computer and phone too.

I would suggest buying a new cable and trying that. Seems a lot of users are encountering this lately. The wires that carry data fail, but the wires that carry power still function. It doesn't have to be a Samsung branded cable, but one specifically for charging/data for the SGH-T989. It happened to me both on this phone, and my Transformer. Both times it was solved by using a new cable.
Your local electronics store should carry what you need. Good luck!

I tried it. No help :/. I think it is the phone's usb port that makes this problem. Probably I'll send it to samsung company to have it fixed.
Before u diagnose the phone as the issue i would check and try plugging it to another pc besides the one that doesnt detect it because i have the same issue with my main pc. When i plug it it opens up as an unreadable drive, it wount open or anything, but when i plug it to my laptop it works perfect.
kind of wierd but it works. i also tried installing kies and didnt help at all. now it it still doesnt work than yea probably the phone.

Also remove sim, sd card, and battery for a bit then replace. Also, get the most "official" cable you can. I'm working with an old evo cable and an old g2 cable. Some of the car charging ones/generics won't play nice. Try blowing (light laughing allowed) into the port.

Ok here is what i did:
1-enable EHCI on your computer from device manage >> http://www.intel.com/technology/usb/ehcispec.htm
2-took a portable toothbrush with isoprop (swabbing alcohol)
3-took my phone to the gas station ...25c air and dried the crap out of it
4-wipe/reset my phone from fast boot menu (not android menu)
5-got an LG "B" data cable...
voila monsieur !!!! i dont know which was the silverbullet but i aint complainin.
However, it was still nice to know that Samsung is a no questions asked manufacturer.
Someone was having the same issues as mine in russia, and he said ICS 4.0 did it and is waaaaaaaaaaay better for this phone. Im gonna give this to a friend and WILL NOT touch these till ICS 4 officially comes out here. Tooo much hassle and ive got too much info riding on it (phone). <<personal opinion
Hello XDA members,
Couple of weeks ago, I plugged my charger and then all of a sudden, smoked started coming out accompanied by a burning smell. I quickly took out the charger and now I am not able to charge my phone. I recently sent it back to Samsung for repair but they could not fix it under warranty and was asked to pay $200. Imo that is way too much considering brand new Galaxy Nexus is around $500 where I am from.
Prior to sending my phone, I unrooted my phone, reverted back to stock rom and now I am wondering if there is a way of rooting my phone without having to be connected to the computer via the USB cable. I want to install a custom rom but is that even possible without having the ability to connect to your computer?
Thanks

You can fix the USB port for a few bucks, i seen people say it cost $10, not really sure as i never came across one, but it should be out there on ebay.
You will be looking for a microUSB board

I am in the same situation as sgs064. I have a Gnex that I need to root, but it will not connect to the PC with the USB cable (strangely, it does still charge via USB). I probably will just fix the microUSB port as Mach 3.2 suggested, but in the meantime it would be nice if there was a way to do it without USB. I realize that it probably is impossible, as efrant indicated, but if anyone has any ideas, I'd be willing to try em out. This is an extra Gnex, not my everyday phone, so im willing to mess around with it a lot more.
Thanks.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers.
I have installed kids and then smart switch.
My old note 4 that was defective shows up in Windows but the replacement shows as 'unknown device'
I tried safe mode to un install drivers and different USB ports.
Is my device defective? Any ideas?
Thanks!
Maybe try going to developer options and checking if usb debugging is turned off. Try turning it on. Try a different usb port. Try to switch between different usb modes in the notification area when connected. Last but not least factory reset your phone in recovery mode and try connecting it after.
I am experiencing the same problem but I have another problem as well. My phone is an unrooted Galaxy Note 4 running 5.0.1 w/ VRU2BOG5 build. I have tried just about all the USB ports on my computer and get the same result, "unknown device". I have uninstall and reinstalled kies and the associated drivers and still get the same result. I have factory reset the phone and still the same. I was even able to do a firmware upgrade and initialization via kies and still the same problem.
The other problem I am faced with is I can not seem to get any OTG cable to work on my device. Could this be hand in hand?
I am not sure if you (the OP) have noticed but when you installed kies, have you gotten an error for your ethernet controller under other devices in your device manager?
I really like the phone but if I can't 1) root it or 2) transfer data via the usb port (especially through the OTG cable), the phone is useless to me. Any help would be very appreciated.
The USB port may be defective. I replaced mine on my note 2 myself for cheap. But if the phone is still under warranty let them deal with it. You guys tried different cables/computers?
