Hey guys sorry for the noob question but I'm pretty worried here cus last time this happened to me everything went straight to crap.
I plug my phone in to my laptop and turn on mass storage so I can copy files from my computer to my phone but it keeps saying that my phone malfunctioned and that windows does not recognize it.
Is there something I can do to solve this?
Thanks guys.
Edit: running cyanogen rc1.

Try different cords, a different usb port on your computer and make sure drivers are installed
Also wrong forum this should be in q&a
Drivers are installed unless they were changed in the past few months. I only have the cable it came with and trying different ports gave me the same message.

Samsung cables usually aren't the best try buying an HTC or blackberry cable.
Drivers get corrupted very easily. Delete and let them reinstall with a good cable.

Hello fellow xda users i have a problem i consider a big deal. My phone will no longer be read by my computer or any other computer. Before you flame me no i didnt install anything not for our phone, im runnin blazer rom 3.5 before that sensation 2.0. i plug the phone in and it wont even show me the usb debuggin icon or that its plugged in to the pc i makes the sound when plugged and unpluged but thats it. Any ideas on why or should i just use my black tie and and get another one?
and you are sure that you have usb debugging checked? maybe do a ##8778# and click on all.
Yes I'm positive and I didn't do anything like flash International gs2. My incredible works fine

Just trying to rule things out. Are you using the same USB cables. I've had some work fine with the chargers but not with the the computer. Weird I know...they would charge from the computer but you couldn't sync to the files at all.

I thought about that, I'm using the charger that came with my phone. I tried one from my Samsung captivate. Last thing I did was unroot so now I'm stock and stuck.

Ok simple sorry short USB is not working on my device and i'm rooted what do I do? Just take it to sprint? Thanks!

Can you elaborate more on how it's not working? (Doesn't charge, doesn't hook up to PC, etc?) Sounds silly but the answer to this might change what you get back from others as far as advice.
Does not hookup to PC charges fine.

Then your usb cable is working. Do you have the proper drivers installed on your pc? Is it the usb port on the pc? Do the basic trouble shooting.
Its USB port and i'm sure something its wrong with it

My phone thinks it's charging all the time and will randomly connect to USB storage when it's not hooked to a PC. I was on cm9. J flashed el26 with clockwork, restored nandroid , and flashed a pulled stock kernel with stock recovery. Then used z4root apk to remove root. Took it back to Sprint and they ordered me a replacement white phone (mine was black, purchased on launch day.)

Okay, bear with me, as I got this phone today. I tried to use the USB to copy files and such. When I plugged the phone into the computer, it started opening stuff, and would not respond to touches. What do I do? Should I just get a replacement? I eventually was just able to bear with it by using the option to use the phone from the computer.

Are you using the USB cable that came with the phone? Try using a different cable, or a different USB port on the computer, or even a different computer to see if the problem still occurs.
This sounds like the kind of problem that occurs when you use a bad USB cable.

If the laptop doesn't solve the problem, then I'd probably get the phone exchanged. Good luck.

Thanks. I will let you guys know. Have we met here before? Maybe HTC aria?

Along with checking the cables, make SURE you're plugging into a properly powered USB port on your computer/laptop. I have, on occasion had similar issues when using a USB Hub that wasn't properly plugged-in to power so the phone acted up.
Good luck!

How would I be sure? My other phones work on the same USB ports on the same two laptops....

If two other phones work properly with all the same variables then I would say the Nitro is the problem.

So, this isn't a problem through the whole line of Nitros, mine is just defective? Thanks a lot. I will be getting mine replaced.
How do you guys like the Nitro? Is it a good overall phone, or should I get another device while I still have a chance! ( keeping in mind, I got this phone because of its price($.97))

I just bought a LGOG from a friend and just noticed that it's impossible for my win8 laptop to recognize the device... I tried using my wife's ol' Win7 powered netbook without luck.
As anyone been through this and found a solution for this issue? I've tried all the versions available and none of them work. I'm running an AMD powered 64 bit Win8 laptop (my wife's netbook runs on an Intel processor.)
Thanks in advance for the help.

Try a different pc. Mine is detected half the time on our laptop. My son's laptop detects it every time. These phones are a little difficult at times.

anyhelp!?!?
This happened to me on my first lgog. Turned out it was a broken pin. Best thing to do now, if you have insurance, is to get it replaced. I know you probably don't want to hear this but trust me I know how you feel.
idk how I got here...

Please dont feel insulted but sometimes going back to the basics is necessary, did you select usb debuging on developer options?

I have been trying to get my phone to come up in windows like it usually does. I plugin the USB and it just sits in charge mode. I reinstalled the Samsung drivers, reset the phone twice, and tried another PC. It simply stopped opening up. How can i fix this problem?
