[Q] Windows 7 Doesn't Recognize my Continuum...

So I'm attempting to root the Continuum, but for some reason the phone won't effectively connect to Windows 7. For example, when I hook the phone up to my Samsung i7 laptop, all the phone does is charge. It doesn't even ask me if I would like to use usb storage or anything. The computer also doesn't recognize the device. Any ideas? Thanks!

A couple questions first:
- Did you install the Continuum drivers?
- Does your phone bring up the USB connection in the status bar?
- Does it bring up the Verizon VCast website on connection?

1. I likely did not install the Continuum drivers, and I have no clue where to get them. I'm assuming Samsung's website, but it's a bit hard to figure out and navigate...
2. My phone does not bring up the USB connection in the status bar.
3. When I go to the browser, it brings up the Verizon website with news, etc.
It should probably be stated as well that this phone is not activated. I am using it on wifi only for the time being because I traded it with a friend for another phone.

Alright, so I've figured it out. Strangely enough, I was just using a generic USB to microUSB cable, and I actually needed to use a Samsung cable. Weird, right?

So...now that I'm rooted, how in the world do I install a custom rom? I saw that there's a ClockworkMod Recovery out, but what does "Odin" mean? I'm coming from an LG Optimus V and have extensive experience rooting and installing custom roms and recoveries, but I've never heard of that before. Thanks again!

First, we dont have much for custom roms on this phone. The couple we do have contain fairly well written "how-to's" for them.
Second, if you are not sure, do some research and find out as many answers with the vast pool of knowlendge at your fingertips (the interwebs) as you can. There has already been a swarm of questions asked, and I am sure the answers may already be there for you.
I am waiting for the update and Froyo roms to come out before I bother with custom roms, but I am not holding my breath for that. I will probably be on my next Android phone before I will bother. Modding it up with Widgetlocker, ADW Launcher, and some other goodies at the moment to tide me over.

I had this same problem today. USB mass storage wasn't working, adb wasn't working. I wasn't using the samsung cable, but I can't see how that would make a difference, as the cable I was using has worked for literally a couple dozen different phones from different manufacturers - including other samsungs. I had the samsung drivers installed.
The owner claims that only media sync works on his computer as well, and that usb mass storage has never worked. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

i am also getting this problem. as far as i know i am still using the samsung cable, as normal micro-usb cables dont fit in the continuums port. ill look for another one, but this is quite odd. what i have done (all windows 7 64 bit):
drivers uninstalled
drivers installed
lagfix on
lag fix off
factory reset (within adrenalyne's rom)
i am going to try to transfer the stock rom via bluetooth and see if that works
edit: turns out that isnt possible without odi recognizing the device, which it doesnt (not even in download mode). this is very peculiar
some more information: nothing even shows up in device manager. no unknown devices, nothing. the phone charges, but thats it. i might go to the verizon store and see if i can get another cable

My guess is because you are using a 64 bit version of windows..

Why would that matter at all?

The 64bit version of Windows 7 is notorious for not being compatible with a lot of devices. There just arent any 64bit drivers. If you dont understand how to run your software in the proper compatibility mode you will run into problems. I used the x64 version of Win7 for about 12 seconds after I realized my ancient usb optical mouse didnt work lol.
My advice, try running the Samsung driver installer in compatibility mode and see if that doesnt help.

Compatibility mode won't do anything in the case of drivers. I'm not sure what your issue is though as all of my Samsung phones have been picked up fine from within Windows 7 x64. Is the phone picked up on any non-Windows 7 computer? Have you checked in Device Manager to see if it just needs installed?

its the cable. i took mine to the verizon store, they tested it, and gave me a new one for free. works perfectly now

Excellent, problem solved!

So it turns out a factory reset fixed it. Using a moto cable. So that's definitely not the issue. Flashing froyo now. Thanks!

I have encountered that a few times also. Its weird cuz when I plugged the usb into ac charger it almost immediately asks if I want to mount sd for data transfer. 20 mins later I unplug usb from unit and plugit into my win7 pc and nothin? So plugged back into ac unit and it recognize....so I mounted and it didn't know what to do lol. I then plugged back intopc...waited...changed orientation and 'Boom' pc sees it...in fact I change orientation whenever it seems to hang and seems to work....
sent from my XDA phone - its more than a continuum

I should also note that I have never used a samsung cable and every usb micro I've used (moto,kodak,BB,Lg) has fit and worked. But I have noticed some usb related quirks since froyo update like no lock screen after charging till I push home button, inaccurate batt icon (goes from 3/4 to 1/4 in like 10 mins but overall batt life is same as before)...
On an unrelated note I also can't get v6supercharger to work...?

[Q] Galaxy nexus USB data stopped working (still charges)

My Nexus is stock but it is unlocked.
I have the latest CWM on there (touch 5.8.0.2)
I was currently downloading all the necessary stuff to flash to AOKP but havent even got there yet because all of the sudden my USB isn't working.
I have tried two different cables, the stock one and a different one (both which were working before).
I get charging working through USB but no file transfer.
I just did a wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache via Recovery, and still nada.
Am I cooked here? B-stock with no warranty from Expansys, now currently kicking myself for not buying brand new.
[edit] yes MTP and USB Debug were/are both checked on
[edit2] a lot of my searches seem to indicate that you can move and transfer via adb in recovery or fastboot while having this error. I am not finding that to be the case.
[edit3] windows 7 does not show any indication of a usb drive or anything plugged in as it used to before. This is obviously making it hard for me to try things like reinstalling drivers and whatnot.
thanks

It probably has nothing to do with the USB port...
Plug your phone into your computer, and then scroll the status bar down. You should see a notification "Connected as xx" Select that, then make sure connect as MTP is checked, if it's connected via ptp (camera) it won't allow you to sync files, for what reason so ever...
If that doesn't help, then reflash stock ROM, that usually helps.. With most problems anyway...
If both of these don't work, then I'm sorry, but I can't help you. I'd then call Samsung, and send it in...
LG Simon

Yea MTP was already checked on. USB debugging being on would have auto kicked in as well.
I flashed AOKP but still the same issues. The hardware might have gotten bonked - I hate how fragile these tiny little ports are!
Is there some kind of diagnostic I can run to see if it is truly a hardware issue?

It's the kernel, try another one

Just swapped to Faux kernel... still persists.
I'm really starting to think its the hardware but crossing my fingers there's a fix.

the same thing is happening to me, it started yesterday too!
I am on AOKP b-23, Faux kernel....
plug in my usb, it can charge but absolutely nothing happens on the computer side, try it on number of computers too... but the phone is able to charge.

Mine started doing this. Would charge‚ but sometime I couldn't transfer data or use adb. It seems that the USB didn't like to stay in my computer. Any little movement would unplug it just enough to keep it charging but nothing else.

I've since tested the MHL cable and also tried using the usb host cable to connect a mouse and both work... does that mean my data connection theoretically could be fine?

I'm using AOKP #23 with Trinity and not had this issue at all. Whether it's because I combine the ROM, Gapps and kernel before flashing I don't know but my phone is running fine

im having this problem as well. does anyone have a solution?

So all you guys that are having problems have enabled MTP through Settings >Storage?

Had this same issue yesterday ( phone was 1 day old ) had it plugged into my windows 7 machine and all of sudden the machine couldnt see it. So I wiggled the cable sure enough the computer saw it, jiggled it again and it would lose connection to the PC. Tried this on several PCs with Several cables and same result everytime. If I held the cable connected to the phone at the right angle it would never lose connection.
Ran to Verizon and the numbskull behind counter tried telling me that is normal and I would just have live with it, almost punched him in the throat. Demaded he go get another phone and show me if that one does it. It didnt so he swapped it and was to hasty about it, ended up giving me another cable charger and headphones WOOT WOOT
new phone doesnt do it as of this writing

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427539 This is probably the issue you guys are experiencing. Seems like you should swap it in or try to fix it yourself by changing the USB charging board.

i'm an android dev and this has happened to me. really really not good to no longer have adb access to my device. restarted both the phone and computer and tried a different coworker's computer and usb cable with no luck.
i used a samsung usb charger last night which i usually never do (i usually just charge it on the computer) and now this morning i have no data connection.

Hello,
have this problem already on my GNEX. After some reading, i got an idea to turn off Fast Charge in Trickster MOD.
And MTP now working .
Anyway there is an warning about fast charge - " Enabling this will disable access to phone storage" .
Problem solved

Yes, i can't connect mtp too and you rigth..usb fast charging is the problem.

Just so y'all know...Fast Charge is simply tricking your phone into thinking it's plugged into an AC outlet...rather than a USB port.
Thus MTP won't work.

same issue here
I'm having the same issue here. Charging works fine with 2 computers and multiple USB cables (as well as AC and car charger adapters), but data transfer has completely stopped working. My computer won't see my phone at all. I have the correct drivers (given that I used them to connect to my computer when I first rooted and unlocked the bootloader). Tried changing the drivers, but I can't get my phone to show up in Device Manager at all. MTP and USB Debugging are enabled.
The only thing I can think of is that I dropped my phone while it was connected, and now the USB cable only charges the phone if I bend it in a certain way (it usually requires upward pressure where the cable plugs into the phone to work). However, other USB charging cables work just fine without any pressure. Is there any chance that a new OEM Samsung USB cable might solve my problem? The other cables I've used weren't OEM.
I normally use a wi-fi data transfer app because the USB data transfer has been slow since day one, so that can be worked around. What IS a major problem for me is that I'm trying to re-root my phone after my root access was lost with the 4.0.4 OTA update. I didn't keep up with the news and only realized last week that my root access had been lost because I tried to do things that required root. Since the OTA update trashed my CWM recovery image, I seem to have no way to re-root and reinstall CWM aside from going back to my computer and doing what I did the first time. But if I can't connect to my computer, I can't do that. It also seems that I would need computer access to remove root in case I bring it back to Verizon for a replacement under warranty.
So on another note, if you guys know of a way to re-root my phone without connecting it to my PC, I'm all ears...

I have run into a lot of USB defects on the phones I have received. It might be wise to get Samsung to repair it, but you will be without a phone for a week. You could also try another cable.
I used to have similar issues except where the power got routed into the data port, frying my phone in multiple areas.
On Samsung's repair ticket they said REPLACED COMPONENT (I'm assuming this is the usb controller and port) this could be the solution but it requires sending it in.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus USB Connection Issues

I am having a very annoying issue with my Galaxy Nexus. When I connect it to my PC, it recognizes the device, however, constantly connects and disconnects. The USB cord is not moving. My other USB devices connect and stay connected (hard drives, mouse, printer, droid). I found this post attached, however, therre is no PhoneUtil code for the Galaxy Nexus.
Does anyone out there know how to solve this issue?

yes. same thing happened.

I have the same issue on 2 separate Galaxy Nexus phones now. no solution yet. I am on the phone with Samsung to see what they can do.

thanks for the reply. please keep me posted. i havent resolved my issue yet.

I've tried changing it from MTP to PTP and turning after switching between the two. I've tried two different roms, one based on 4.0.4 and 4.0.3. I've Tried several different USB cables, including the ones that came with my G2x and Nexus One. I've tried it in a USB 3.0 Port. I've tried using different kernals. Even when I get into recovery, windows still doesn't read somthing is attached. I've been transfering ROMS to it via dropbox. I don't think it's a rom issue as it should still show up in windows when in recovery. Also on those roms I made sure that they didn't have "USB Fast Charge" enabled, as I heard that can cause the issue I'm experience. Thinking it was an issue with CWM, I downgraded it, but still no USB. I'm stuck here. Any help is greatly appreciated.
The 1st posts pdf seems to be the most logical solution, we just need the phoneutil code for the galaxy nexus.

This seems to be a common issue with the GNex, see http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23789 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427539.
Please star/comment on the google issue tracker.

thanks for your post. the issue in the posts you included seem to be a different issue. those refer to the battery and charging icon, while my issue is related to the computer recognizing and connecting with the phone. i am going to post something on the google board though, i havent seen that one before. thanks!

It's the same issue...
Before I had the problem with the charging icon it started just like your problem...seems to be a problem with the usb plug....only solution is to send it to repair or exchange the phone.

What annoys me is that when I got the phone it was already rooted and I didn't have a chance to try it stock or back up the original. It was rooted with an older version, so I flashed 4.0.4 on it. Check out the reviews on newegg I'm not alone in reporting a messed with Galaxy Nexus.

I found a fix for the issue
This was a very frustrating issue for me. I just purchased the phone yesturday to have an issue like was unacceptable. After hours of frustration, I found a solution. First off, download the offical driver pack from samsungs website. Once you have the pack installed, plug the phone back in. Once you have completed this, go under development and enable USB debugging. After the debugging, you should have a stable USB connection and wired tethering will work. I hope this helps you guys with your issue. It resolved mine. This was also done running Windows 8 beta.

GNex not recognized in Windows 7

I need help getting my Windows 7 x64 to recognize my GNex.
Whenever I plug it in I dont hear the default USB plug-in sound (Windows), but my phone is charging.
I cannot mount my storage either in recovery or inside Android.
My device manager is not showing errors and my GNex at all.
Tried installing the Google USB Driver from SDK, no luck
Tried PDANet which did not install because of missing drivers.

Use a program called usbdeview and uninstall the drivers you have installed for the Gnex. Then use the galaxy nexus toolkit to install the correct ones.

You dont by chance have the "fast charge" mod enabled through your kerenel do you? Because if so you will need to disable the feature first before plugging up to you Windows machine.

This is starting to become an "epidemic".. :O

I can almost guarantee that it's usb fast charge, devs should really put a warning on that

I too have a Win7 x64 laptop and had a similar issue, but the Device Manager did report an error with the Android 1.0 and/or Samsung driver. I had to manually update driver for it to work thru Device Manager.

Woops. Well there are some ways to check what is disturbing the connection. Let's start at the beginning:
Check if your phone is configured to interact with your computer. After conneting your phone you should get a selection list in your phones notification bar. Make sure to select usb storrage from that list.
On your windows computer go to [start] and type "device manager". After the application (that shows all hardware devices connected to the system) loaded connect your phone and check if something changes. If everything works all right you should get your nexus. If a question mark apears double click it to check the problem.
Try yo connect your device to another computer or with another cable. If the problem is not solved by above steps contact your seller.
If this is not possible install Airdroid and connect your phone to your computers browser or ES file Explorer to browse your pc over the network

Ok, I'm having this issue, but Windows doesn't even recognize anything is plugged in! I tried it on a TON of computers at work with several different USB cables. Nothing! All I get is charging, but no options in the top menu or anything. Is this a toasted Nexus? I just got it, now I can't even transfer files to its storage. I've been transferring files through dropbox...which is annoying...if it is USB Fastcharge, how do I disable it?

Their IS a fix for this, but we need the code to get into the PhoneUtil menu and turn USB back on.
It's an issue with Samsung phones apparently, and here's a fix someone found a while ago.

My issue is definitely hardware. I sent my GNex back and they sent me back a new one which I received yesterday. I checked and this one wasn't previously rooted or Unlocked. It worked for a day (worked as in windows saw it and I could xfer music/books/comics to it) after I get home from work Windows stopped recognizing it. I did NOTHING to the phone, it just stopped being seen by windows. I only used the cable that came with it and charged it the night before using the supplied adapter, but the USB still stopped working. Last resort I did a system restore to the phone and the USB still doesn't show up in anything ,Tried 5 of my Windows PC's A bunch of PC's at work, my friends Mac, my Ubuntu powered Netbook, my Xbox360 and PS3, even the Transformer Prime using the keyboard dock. This is telling me it's a hardware issue with the Device. Might be somthing wrong with the latest batch of GNex's but the USB seems to give out. Even if I put the phone in ODIN mode NOTHING recognizes it. So, before you all waste your time finding a fix, this is 100% absolutly a hardware issue with these phones, I don't know why, but I had Two bad ones in a row, and am Hoping my 3rd isn't borked too.
I have a bad history with Android phones....My first Nexus One wouldn't stay on, so I got a replacement from HTC. My first two G2x's would constantly reboot, It wasn't until the 3rd one that I got a working one. Now I'm hoping I don't have to go through 4 bad Galaxy Nexus' before getting one that actually works!
I have the opposite luck with tablets....the Novo7, Iconia A100 and Transformer Prime have been perfect outa box. This ordeal with android phones makes me seriously consider exchanging the GNex for an iPhone4s....but the iPhone4s screen is SOOOOO tiny!!!

Phone Charges but wont connect via USB

About 2 weeks ago my phone started having issues with the microSD card. I was plugging it into my computer off and on trying to get the card to read. Then one time the computer just stopped recognizing the phone. Since then I haven't been able to get any computer to recognize my phone. I plug it in and no MTP / PTP options show up, nothing in the system tray to indicate I have attached a new USB device. It just charges the phone.
Phone info:
Samsung SGH-i747m

Baseband version I747MUMLL1

What I've tried:
Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers
Every USB port on the box
Factory data reset--both from the setup menu, and the diagnostic bootup menu
USB debugging mode, both on and off.
Changing the UART and USB settings in the *#7284# PhoneUtil. After my last factory reset, it's set to PDA/MTP+ADB.
3 different computers, one Win 7 64 bit, one, one Win 7 32 bit, one Win XP SP3
about 5 different USB cords
I tried a touchwhiz rom CSROM
Cleaning the USB connector with a pin / air can
Changed the Kernal
Anything else I should try? Is there a way to determine if the USB plug on the phone is bad?

Thanks for the reply. I've tried about 5 different roms, some touchwiz some not. Haven't gone back to stock yet though.
However I went back to a AOKP rom, Tasks650. Haven't been able to find the usb charge toggle button yet but I may have a kernal not compatible with it. However when I plug the phone into my computer and look at the Battery is says I'm on AC charge so that is likely a good place to start looking for a solution.
Thanks again.

If plugged into USB it says ac charge than fast charge is enabled. That's what it does. Goto setting and find the sub menu for the quick setting tiles. There will be one for fast charge. You select it, drag down your quick tiles and you can select and deselect it.

Faulty cord. Go on amazon or order another one. I use a heavy duty one from mediabridge for $5 and it does data and charging. Many times over the years I get an OEM micro usb cord that charges all 3 different galaxy S models I have then after use it will work on 2 and then only one. Sometimes it will just charge and not work with data transfer.
I highly doubt it's your phone.
I saw you tried different cords but were they new ? A picky microUSB or one that's more worn out might only work with a certain cord.
You can replace the microUSB port and it's cheap and I assume there a video on youtube for it but off course it's up to you.

Downloaded a new version of Task650 and enabled fast charge, reset the phone and then disabled it and reset the phone again. Same issue. PC does not recognize the phone but it charges. Check battery and says its on 'AC' charge. I wonder if somehow the two middle pins on the phone got shorted out so it permanently thinks its on AC charge?

Sometimes it will just charge and not work with data transfer.
I highly doubt it's your phone.
I saw you tried different cords but were they new ? A picky microUSB or one that's more worn out might only work with a certain cord.
You can replace the microUSB port and it's cheap and I assume there a video on youtube for it but off course it's up to you.

Yeah, I just got 10 new microUSB cords to the house. They are cheap ones. However I tried a few other ones I have around the house. I don't know if any of them are the original Samsung cords but I certainly have original HTC microUSB cords. I've probably tried about 14 different ones in total now. I don't think its the cord.

I am in the same boat , my phone works perfect on Win 7 but not on Win XP.
I use airdroid or mmc adapter only if needed.
I did try a web link to fix the mtp issue ( before my xp pc was refomated ) and have had the phone recognized as a USB drive , can't find the link anymore. It has something to do with windows media player .
If I find something , I will report back.

Downloaded a new version of Task650 and enabled fast charge, reset the phone and then disabled it and reset the phone again. Same issue. PC does not recognize the phone but it charges. Check battery and says its on 'AC' charge. I wonder if somehow the two middle pins on the phone got shorted out so it permanently thinks its on AC charge?

Warranty exchange ? If it is the port.... It won't get better. I'd exchange or try a swap

On your windows XP device, download the newest version of Windows Media player. That always got it working for me.

I have this same issue now. Is WMP update really the issue here?

About 2 weeks ago my phone started having issues with the microSD card. I was plugging it into my computer off and on trying to get the card to read. Then one time the computer just stopped recognizing the phone. Since then I haven't been able to get any computer to recognize my phone. I plug it in and no MTP / PTP options show up, nothing in the system tray to indicate I have attached a new USB device. It just charges the phone.
Phone info:
Samsung SGH-i747m
Android version 4.2.2
Baseband version I747MUMLL1
Kernel Version 3.4.37-cyanogenmod-g7b457dc
What I've tried:
Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers
Every USB port on the box
Factory data reset--both from the setup menu, and the diagnostic bootup menu
USB debugging mode, both on and off.
Changing the UART and USB settings in the *#7284# PhoneUtil. After my last factory reset, it's set to PDA/MTP+ADB.
3 different computers, one Win 7 64 bit, one, one Win 7 32 bit, one Win XP SP3
about 5 different USB cords
I tried a touchwhiz rom CSROM
Cleaning the USB connector with a pin / air can
Changed the Kernal
Anything else I should try? Is there a way to determine if the USB plug on the phone is bad?

I've been having the exact same problem with my Note II - couldn't get my PC to recognise the SD card but it would charge.
However, then it stopped charging my phone, too. I naturally assumed it was the USB port or the lead, but having tried four different leads - all tested on my wife's SII and all working fine - I realised it was something else.
So I swapped in the spare battery I have and that did charge; swapped back to the old battery and that charged, too.
Weird...but OK, phone is working again.
Next day, no charging again.
Swapped batteries - no change.
Swapped batteries back - no change.
Reflashed ParanoidAndroid ROM - no change.
Flashed Samsung base ROM - no change.
Flashed ParanoidAndroid again - batteries start to charge on USB and on wall charger.
WTF????
Two days later (yesterday) - batteries no longer charge. I'm having to use an external battery charger that plugs into the walls (take the battery out of the phone, plug into the charger, leave to charge).
I've tried different kernels (Devil, NEAK), leads, batteries - nothing.
It's just goddamn weird - and a real pain. :crying:

Sounds like I would start with warranty for the batteries. Stranger things have happened because of batteries. On the inspire, when a battery would start going bad the phone would reboot when trying to take a photo with the flash on.

I Managed to fix the "Usb not detecting with PC when you connect it but only charges the phone. With me it was a software problem because it happened after i installed the new firmware. what i did was root my phone using Framaroot 1.4. its a apk application, then i installed Titanium Backup. went into titanium backup then to the MTP application and backed it up. then i restored it +all date,. plugged my phone in with the pc and it worked.

Mine turned out to be a software problem, too. I moved to the Beanstalk ROM and that fixed it, weirdly.
I've changed ROMs since (PACMan and SlimBean) and everything's still fine...

Try This

By default my phone was already set to the right settings for USB file transfers so I’ll assume most of these ship with the same configuration, Somehow it changed. I found this on a forum - it seems a few other folks declared it a success.
1.Launch the phone key pad on your note and press *#7284# (don’t forget to start with that * symbol!)
2.When you press the last pound sign (#) this will bring up an option that will allow you to change your USB connection settings (modem or PDA) – change it to PDA.
3.At the bottom there is a button that says Qualcomm USB. Click on it.
4.In that menu click on MTP + ADB option.
5.Save and reset.
6.Wait for your phone to restart.
7.Plug the micro USB cable to the Note 2 and the the other end to your PC or Mac
8.Let your computer down load and install drivers.
9.Once installing is done, unplug then replug phone.
10.There should be a USB symbol on your phone in the status bar - click on it. It should ask if you wsnd to use mtp or ptp. Click MTP
11.At this point your PC should open the phone’s folders in explorer.
12.You may have to repeat this process a few times....it worked for me after 4 tries.
Remember, you do not need to use Kies or root your phone for this to work and you should not have to fiddle with manually installing and downloading drivers in Windows 8, it should work no problem as is.
Good luck!
