So I've read multiple threads on phones not being able to connect to their computers and none of them can help me.
When i connect my phone with us to my computer it says mtp connected on the phone, but when i try and find the phone on the computer its nowhere to be found. It never used to say mtp connected it was just the usual connection. Once i installed kies on computer it started saying mtp. I just want to be able to connect my phone to send files and usb tether again. Any suggestions? I feel like I've tried everything.
It also doesn't help i don't have the internet. I always used my phones through pdanet.

How did you install kies without the internet? You could try uninstalling drivers deleting kies.. Then reinstalling kies and plugging in phone..

It used to connect. So i used pdanet for internet and got kies. It connected to kies once. Next day went to use it again i got nothing. Just said mtp connected on the phone. Tried installing drivers and kies but didn't realize it needed the internet to install kies. I have the kies installer still.
Anyhow long would i have to leave it plugged in for? I had it in for over 15 minutes.

Unplug usb then go to settings>applications>development and check usb debugging, reconnect usb and mount from phone and it should show up.

Restart your pc and try again.

I had this problem also and it was because the drivers weren't installing correctly.

If you have any phone available that will connect then download drivers onto that phone then transfer to comp and install.. had to do that on a laptop before..

When I connect my phone to the computer it does not get recognized. The phone charges but I can't use it in USB mode. I have a USB different than the original in the box. Help would be appreciated

Certain USB cables do not recognize my phone either... they only charge it. Try the one that came in the box.

Ok thanks guys I've tried everything and nothing is working
Have you tried a different usb cable?
Use wifi explorer. Restart phone and CPU. Happens to me when I am screwing with multiple phones.

Install the Samsung Kies (not mini kies) will help. The driver came with Samsung Kies works better. I have one of my friend S2 and each time I plug his samsung S2, I need to run samsung Kies to get good driver and after a while I can use Window Explorer to read the 2 SD cards, and I don't need to run samsung Kies with mine. (bizzare but how it works)
My AT&T Samsung Galaxy SIII is suddenly no longer being recognized by my Windows 7 x64-bit PC. I don't recall doing anything to the phone or PC that would've caused this. It's been about a week or so since I last connected the phone to the PC, and I recall that for about a week or two before that, I was having trouble in that I'd connect the phone and nothing would happen, so I'd have to disconnect the USB cable and reconnect it, then the PC would recognize it and the Explorer window would open up on the PC showing the internal and external storage on the phone. I'm trying to transfer more of my music to the phone, and it's extremely frustrating to not be able to do that!
Any ideas what's wrong?

Have you tried another cable? The one that comes with the phone is crap.

Definitely try a new cable. I had to get a replacement chord after 2 weeks of having my phone.
I have the same problem with my Mac after updating to UCLH1 ROM....
Have the correct drivers installed?

power off the phone, remove and re-install the battery. worked for me
If you backed up the Imei recently you may have used the qpst app to set the phone to connect to a port instead of MTP. Did you recently do this ? If so you need to set usb settings back to MTP.

I had the exact same issue not too long ago. I tried re-installing drivers...pulled out battery..different usb cable..factory wipe...and also tried three different PC, and still S3 wasn't recognize. I solved this issue by using CyanogenMod 10 ROM....not to mention this rom is so much better than the stock rom . I'm currently on the NEW CM10 Night 8/19 build, and so far no issues connecting phone to PC. By the way i'm on Rogers and you can get the rom here..http://get.cm/?device=d2att

Yeppers... with other problems I've had/read, I think the latest H1 leak has major problems... which may explain why it hasn't been officially released.
Once i moved over to the H1 build, that was when my pc (w7) stopped recognizing my phone, as well. i can get into it if i mount it as camera, it will let me explore the phone/sd card but i just use Kies to transfer....
I have a weird issue going on. Before the Jellybean update I was able to backup my phone using my Mac computer and Android file transfer. Now since getting the update my phone connect to my computer. It won't connect as media device (MTP) or as a camera (PTP). Any ideas and help would be appreciated

I have installed the proper Samsung Drivers and my PC running Windows 8 isn't recognizing my note 2. I Can't access my internal memory or the external SD. Anyone have any ideas? I tried searching through all the threads on XDA and I couldn't find anything.
I didn't have this problem with Windows 8 it did take a while for it to recognize it the first time... try a different port and wait a while

Mine did it one time .... uninstall the drivers and reinstall then it will work .... I used the note 2 root tool in development to install them

Same issue, no amount of driver installing/reinstalling seems to fix it. My phone won't even recognize a pc.
I had this same problem using a usb cable that wasn't the original that came with my note 2. Once I switched to the original cable it worked.

You can try a different port that's what worked for me. Or uninstall the usb driver and let it install again manually.
Or you can try this to see your ext. SD

Had this same annoying issue with my GS3 and Windows 8. I'm now back to Windows 7.
Hi, the S4 has been running great but all of a sudden my PC will not recognize any internal Memory or SD Cards.
It's really weird. All the cables are fine. The PC recognizes the phone but no internal memory nor External cards anymore.
Any help is greatly appreciated
I get this to happen randomly at times. I'd suggest you try a different usb port. Or change the MTP usb connection to PTP. Although this will only let you transfer pictures. Try toggling the usb debugging option.

Hey Thanks but I have tried all of that. Really weird why this is happening. It was fine all of this time. The fact is the PC won't even do that on my Note 2 also. So, it can't be the s4.
Even Kies kee's saying "Connecting.." It won't even recognize any device.
This just started happening to mine too 10min ago... wont recognize drives but will phone..
Then I can get drives to show but cant transfer anything....
Then it stops and says device in use even after a battery pull...
I cf auto rooted

Hey I rooted fine and have had no issues running any ROM but just all of a sudden my PC won't recognize any Drives at all and for any Samsung Phone. Really weird and its annoying because I can't transfer anything into the internal nor external.

I can confirm this as well. I had a lot more issues with my galaxy s2. It would never show up on 1 of my laptops and I would have to use it with my desktop only.
Back to the S4, it has only happened once so far. But switching usb ports normally works for me. I'd recommend just reinstalling the drivers/kies and start over. Also before you go return your phone. Try connecting it to a different computer and see if it is recognized.
