It could be a faulty USB cable - I've had a few go "bad" in that I could still use them to charge devices, but they would not work at all for any kind of data.
So my first suggestion would be to change the cable - second would be to try a different PC.
Regards,
Dave

Didn't help... Ive tried to install the drivers and kies again but with no succes. When i plug it in it only starts to charge... the usb icon doesnt even appear in the icon tray... Damn

Changing cable. I dont have a other PC, but i tried my brothers SGS3 and it had the same problem. I think its a computer based thing...

Upgraded to Windows 8? Had my pc updated to W8 yesterday and the usb ports didn`t work. I`am back on W7 until it is fixed.

Nah im still on W7 64-bit, but i got it to work for once just then and now it doesnt work again... Oh well atleast i got the files transferred which i needed.

Cable may be faulty........
Same problem with my Note 2......
but eventually i tried with other samsung cable (one which previously provided with my samsug galaxy S) and wooyala........it's start detecting......
It means cable provided with my phone is fault.......which does charging but doesnt connect my phone with pc for MTP or Kies.

it clearly seems to be a fault with your USB ports of computer

I can't connect my LG to my laptop

Hey gang, I can't seem to connect my LG to my laptop. I had the GS3 and it never was able to connect I thought it was because Samsung and Apple didn't get along that they made the connection difficult. But now I have the LG and its the same thing, it doesn't want to connect. Is there something on my computer or is it the phone?

Hello! You can find the drivers you would need and I would suggest installing the LG PC Suite, from here..
http://mobilepcsuite.com/lg-g3-pc-suite-465
After installing these, and your laptop doesn't recognizes the phone then there could be old drivers blocking you from connecting your LG phone.. OR bad USB connections ( check your USB ports ).. Good luck

Have you installed your phone drivers from that site? Try connecting another USB device such as a flash drive or something to check if your ports are working well. Reboot your laptop with the phone plugged in.. See what happens.. Next step is to try connecting your phone to a pc or another laptop.. Your USB ports could be damaged.

my other USB connection work. I rebooted and it gives me that little sound that its connected but "Charging" nothing far as MTP. This is frustrating. I always have to use Airdroid in order for me to sync my pics or any other files.

Try this http://www.mylgphones.com/download-and-install-the-usb-drivers-for-lg-g3-on-windows-and-mac.html
Check your USB ports under Device Manager on your laptop and uninstall those with yellow exclamation marks ( if any ).
BTW.. after you connect the device to your laptop and use the pull-down menu.. Do you get the 3 options ..
Charge Phone , Media Device (MTP) and Send Images (PTP)?

Damn bro! If those files didn't help then I'm afraid I have no more options or suggestions..Usually, it's a driver issue but I have no clue about Mac and their drivers. .. Connect your phone to a laptop using Windows.. In that way you'll know if the device is faulty or not.
Let me know once you've got it resolved..Hopefully it'll be soon .. Good luck :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the tips. I was able to download the LGPCSuite and when I do connect my phone and open the app it recognizes my phone, but all I can add to my phone are pics, videos, and music. I can't add any folders or anything else. Its not allowing me to see all my folders on my phone.

A weird solution that worked for me
I had the same problem. My g3 would only charge when connected via usb and only connect to pc suite via wifi.
I tried everything, but no luck.
In my case, the problem was that the usb cable, although it looked like it was nicely plugged in, it needed to be pressed down to make a right connection. If i just plug the usb cable, it just showed that the phone was charging.
But if i press the last part of the cable, just where it enters at the bottom of the phone, then all other option show up(like mtp etc), my windows system makes the familiar usb sound etc. If I give up the pressure, then back to charging only mode.
I hope this helps some of you. It is a bad usb port at the phone that caused the problem.

Well Thanks, for the post, I know you didn't need to write all this when your phone was connected for good, but you did it because you knew there would also be some people like me in need of your help,
My friend has the same problem with his AT&T LG G3, it only charges when connected to PC and no other connection setups are shown neither on the phone nor in the PC/laptop so, and i have done all the things possible and i could thinks off.
Now i think i should try your method and will tell you if it also works for his G3 or not. Thanks by the way.

Note 4 developer version not connecting to PC as drive

I have a rooted Note 4 developer device and when I connect it to my PC it does not appear as a drive. I'm using the USB charging cable that came with the phone. If I connect with my Note 2, that works, but not the Note 4. I was able to use Odin to flash TWRP so the PC saw the phone and used it correctly. When I click on the USB safely remove hardware and eject media icon in my taskbar, I get an Eject Samsung Media option, so it sees the phone. Maybe my modem is set to an alternative mode? I have no idea how to change that.
The SD card works, and if I want to copy files to and from that I remove it from the phone and put it in a card reader and transfer files that way. When I check the drivers in device manager on the PC everything looks like it's working fine, no yellow triangles with an exclamation mark. I have USB debugging turned on. Maybe it's a setting in TWRP? I am completely baffled and would greatly appreciate any ideas or solutions. And yes, I've turned the phone off and on again...

I've had this problem before and I uninstalled the Samsung drivers and reinstalled them. Drivers can be "finicky" on some versions of Windows. Make sure you get the latest drivers from the Samsung web site, not another download site. I'm sure you know this, but make sure USB Debugging is selected and you connect as a Media Device under USB connection settings. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your suggestion, JPCalhoun. I reinstalled the drivers, but still no luck. The computer's USB charges the phone. The PC, which is a Windows 7 64 bit machine, sees the phone as a Samnsung mobile USB CDC composite Device. On the phone, the little UBS symbol just never appears. I think it might have to do with the modem settings on the Note 4. I just have no idea on how to access them. I know on older notes you would bring up the keypad and dial in a certain number to access the phone's modem. I don't know what the number is on the Note 4. It's weird, everything else works perfectly on the phone, just not the USB settings. I'm going to try and transfer stuff wirelesslly. I transfered all my old contact information from my old Note 2 to the Note 4 wirelessly, so maybe I'm just stuck going that route.

That did the trick, Manbat. I thank you profusely! I got a Note 4 dev edition and you would think that they would have had the USB setting set to MTP+ADB. Anyway, now she's rooted and working well in my ColorCross VR headset. Running Crysis 2 in Stereo 3D with this display is mindblowing. Better resolution than a genuine Oculus Rift DK2 headset. And no tether! Good times. Thank you again, Manbat!

Yea I had that same exact problem yesterday, I am pretty sure its because they took a regular retial, unlocked the bootloader and left it in that setting. It was driving me nuts but I found it by doing some research, when I suspected the problem, i didn't know how to get into the hidden menu until I found that app man what a pain in the ass

[Q] Samsung Note 10.1 2014 Edition USB Connection Problem

Hi,
I purchase my Samsung Note 10.1 2014 Edition last October. I've been using it to watch movie, playing game etc entertainment. I always transfer movie or drama to watch in the note from PC via USB Cable. Its been working well until early this week, the USB symbol is not showing up when I connect the USB cable to PC, and my PC did not detect the device as well.
Please help me on this problem.
How should I fix it?

aww ok/ see the note 2012 has proprietary cable. and even after market cables often do not work right.
are you on stock firmware?
have you tried another pc?
does kies see the device?
does it show up in device manager at all?

if you are positive the cable is fine.(appears to be if works on other device connected to same computer)
only thing i could say is factory reset (long shot)
this will erase your data put back to new state
to do so
settings
general
backup/reset
factory data reset as i said knowing your stock its bit likely the issue
could be loose usb connector
i would go buy a new oem (made from samsung) cable and try that
anything more would require having it in my hands
