Not being recognized in front USB - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I can't transfer files/push stuff to the phone though adb when the phone is plugged into the front USB. I find this strange as the front USB ports on my PC are USB 3.0. It's charging the phone but not allowing me to transfer files, which is extremely annoying. All of my other devices work in the front USB ports (USB flash drives, other Android phones via USB).
Windows 7 is basically not recognising it. Is this a driver issue?

Did you in stall drivers for your Nexus? Does adb devices return anything when the phone is plugged in? Drivers

I've now resolved it using those drivers, thank you!

PC Connection Issues with EVO

Already tried reformatting Windows and installing any and all drivers I could find.
When I connect my EVO to my PC via the USB cable, the connection type window appears, the amber light turns on, and it shows up on my PC for ~2 seconds. Then it disappears. I have been unable to keep it connected.
It works on other PCs I've tried, just not mine for some odd reason. (Any other USB item works fine), and I've tried multiple USB ports.
Any ideas?
I had this exact issue when I was going through a non-powered USB hub. As soon as I plugged it into my computer's direct USB plug no issues. How old is the computer you are trying to plug this into? Is is USB 2.0? I'm on windows 7 64bit if that helps. Hope you get this fixed, it's annoying as hell.
Forgot to mention, this is on Windows 7 x64 as well.
Im using the ports on my mobo, and its a rather new mobo (XFX 780i). Tried every single port =\

[Q] cant connect to computer

my Evo wont connect to CPU any more ive tried reading all the other threads but still not working
I just want to flesh out some of the details here.
Is the phone charging when you plug it into the computer?
Is there any activity from your PC or the phone when you select "Disk Drive" from the USB menu? (Like maybe a USB error/not connected sound in Windows).
Are you able to access or see it through ADB using the SDK?
Does it work on any other computers?
Have you done anything recently? Did it just happen today?
usb connection not working
I'm having the same problem--my original usb cable was damaged, and I just bought a new (generic) one. Does the EVO require a special type of cable rather than just a standard micro usb?
Here's the details:
USB Debugging is enabled.
Phone is set to ask for connection type (default is disk drive).
Phone charges when plugged into the PC but the computer doesn't recognize it.
In the notification bar, there is the usb debugging icon, but not the other one that usually says charge only/disk drive, etc.
ADB doesn't see the phone.
So far I haven't been able to get to another computer to see if it does the same thing. I tried disabling usb debugging, no effect.
update
Ok, yesterday I got my phone replaced because the screen was damaged. I also got a new usb cable; this one specifically for the EVO. Same thing. I plug it into the computer, and it charges, but the PC doesn't recognize it, and the phone just seems to think it's plugged into an AC adapter. The phone is set to ask what to do whenever I connect it to a PC. Since this is a brand new phone and cable, I would think this would have to be a computer issue, but the PC doesn't seem to recognize that anything has even been connected.
Update: solved--it was the usb port. For some reason the usb ports on my pc case stopped working; plugged into one of the back panel ports and it works fine.
Any microsd cable will work, I'm using my palm pre's now, my htc cable went out a month ago.
I
Chevk device manager whole you are plugging your phone in. just in case there is some bad driver issue, it should show there.

It just says "Device not recognized" at the notification area, although it still charges. Also i can access the phone via windows explorer

Weird case of Galaxy Nexus not connecting to USB ports

Hello all, I'm having what I would like to call one of the weirdest cases of USB troubles.
For some reason unknown to me, my Galaxy Nexus will simply not connect to my computer's front USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports whatsoever. It will simply throw the "USB device not found" message and if I'm blessed with a unicorn's presence, it will connect and show my Galaxy Nexus's file system and disconnect whenever it wants, specifically when transferring a file to the phone. Awkwardly enough, this only occurs on OEM Samsung cables, both on the original cable that came with the phone and a new one that I just purchased off eBay a couple of days ago. I have used the cable that came with my ASUS Nexus 7 (first gen) and it connects perfectly. The driver will install successfully and hold a connection until I physically disconnect it. I even gave the cable that came with my HTC G2 a try and the same thing. However, I decided to test this on two other computers, a school computer and a Dell machine I have at home and both of those machines will hold a perfect connection with the Samsung cables. Although I haven't tested it yet, I'm sure it will connect just fine to my laptop and to the USB ports located in the back of the computer (directly to motherboard)
If it helps any, the computer that is having troubles is encased in a Fractal Design Define R4. I'm thinking it could be a faulty USB header but other devices such as my Nexus 7 and various USB flash drives have connected without any issues. I have used USBDeview to uninstall the Galaxy Nexus driver and I have unchecked USB debugging to "ensure" a clean installation. At this point, I'm lost between re-installing Win7 or calling Fractal for what could be a very specific issue against my Galaxy Nexus.
Anybody have an idea on how to solve this? Much thanks in advance!

Yeah it sounds like a faulty usb cable. I have cables too that just won't hold a connection. Make sure you have "usb debugging" checked though when you want to use adb.
What I almost always use these days is wireless adb connection.
Go to settings >> developer options and check "ADB over network". Then in a terminal on your computer, "cd" to the directory you keep adb or adb.exe and type "adb connect 192.168.0.3" (or whatever ip is listed in settings >> developer options).

Thanks for the steps in regards to wireless ADB connection. As much I really want to say it's a faulty cable, I can confirm that the cable will provide a stable connection to the Dell machine I have sitting around and on the school computers as mentioned in the OP. I even got 2 new OEM Samsung cables and neither of them work on the computer that gives me that message with the Samsung cables. It's so frustrating

[Q] PC won't even acknowledge that a device is connected via USB when M8 is connected

I've had my One M8 for about 6 months and had no issues, until now. The phone is unrooted, and has never been altered in such a way.
About a week ago I noticed that when I connected my phone to the USB charger plug socket that it said "Slow Charging" in the status bar, however other than that everything seemed to be fine.
However, today I've connected the USB cable to my PC in order to copy some data, however the phone simply states that it's "slow charging" and does not recognise that it is connected to a PC. The PC does not show anything in device manager (not even an unknown device), and I have tried using multiple different drivers, USB cables, and even a completely different PC (a windows 7 one vs my windows 8.1 pc).
Whatever I've tried I cannot get the PC to even acknowledge that a device has been connected, even after twice factory resetting the phone.
Any ideas how I can get a PC to even recognise that there is something connected?
Thanks

Install HTC Sync. Run it to get the drivers, then uninstall HTC Sync.
Also try to give an update
when/if you fix it and what you did so those that view your thread can learn
