On a desktop only use usb ports in the rear on the Motherboard. Uninstall any Samsung drivers on the computer. Turn on usb debugging and use with the cable you think is the best. A heavy duty Blackberry cable can be got on ebay for $2.

Guys When I connect my phone to my computer it is constantly installing unknown device driver.
Ive tried all my ports. Its a hit and miss with this thing. In a blue moon it will catch and recognize it as the samsung device. But it takes litterally hours of pulling out the battery, putting it indownload mode, uninstalling the "unknown device driver" Ive tried also updating the driver manually to the "Samsung Android USB Composite device" but it doesn't recognize it when I manually update it. The cable is brand new and it cost me like 20dollars and its worked in the past. Literally 2 days ago.
Im on Windows 7. How do I get this dam computer and phone to work properly and recognize eachother and How do I get my computer to STOP installing unknown Device Driver. When it freaking has the samsung drivers installed!!!
I got the device drivers from QBkings utube video. He is using windows 7 too so everything should be working!
Im losing my patience
Any Help guys?
I had the same issue, there is a post on here about uninstalling kies then install Samsung drivers v1.4 I think then 're-install kies. Since I did this it's been fine.

I did a google search for the samsung kies that you mentioned. Found "Kies_2.5.0.12094_28_8.exe" Installed it then Uninstalled it. reinstalled samsung drivers "Samsung_Mobile_USB_Driver_V1.4.8.0" and it didn't work.
Is that the kies program you were talking about?
Kenny this data cable has worked in the past. It cost 20dollars at staples. It says its a data transfer cable. Its worked plenty of times (however ive always had this problem.
I would still try a Blackberry cable. I have seen people go through 5 cables and a new Blackberry cable solved their problem. Also is this a laptop or desktop. If desktop use the ports in the back directly on the motherboard. I have also had the best success with deleting the drivers and letting Windows find them from Windows update.
Has anyone had a problem with this? The only way for me is to go into recovery and mount it. It's connected as a media device.
Thanks in advance!

Ya I get the "Device ID not found" error. Kies and Samsung drivers are horrendous.

Sounds silly, but did you try rebooting your computer? I had to do this the other day when mine wasn't recognizing my phone. Rebooted computer, worked fine after.
Samung's drivers are awful. I had to install, reboot, remove, reboot ad nauseum until I finally got the drivers to work. I also found I had to connect the phone then wait a few minutes before the computer would acknowledge the phone.
specteA 187,
I've only ever had the issue if I've tried USB ports on the front of my machine. For some reason those ports can be a bit flaky.
Plugging USB into the back of my machine causes no issues. Weird.
For me, on Windows 8, I have to switch from MTP to PTP, and then back to MTP for it to mount. It sure is wonky.

Yup I tried everything. The only way that works perfectly is to mount the drives via recovery.
My phone doesn't even try to get into mtp mode :/

I found that if my computer doesn't recognize my phone, I put my phone into download mode then reboot back to normal and the computer will recognize it. Kind of a pain to have to reboot 2x but seems to work for me.
I've had 5 Samsung smartphones (Captivate, Infuse, GS2, SkyrocketGS2, and now the SGNote2) andI use an XPSP3 desktop computer and have never had any issues with computer recognizing phone until the Note2. Odin3 works like a champ on the Note2... it's the plug-n-play recognition for transferring files back and forth that's problematic. Yes, I've uninstalled/reinstalled drivers, Kies, etc, used back ports vs front port... I think it has to do with the MTP file transfer protocol now used. Here's what works for me with the Note2 and the PC:
Connect phone to PC... phone's "USB PC Connection" box opens and you have 2 options: MTP(media/files) or PTP (camera). If PC doesn't immediately recognize device, I do one of two things which always works:
1. toggle between MTP and PTP a few times... if that doesn't work,
2. unplug usb from PC port and reinsert (either same port or another)
Windows Explorer will then recognize device and add "SAMSUNG-SGH-I317" under "My Computer" and list it under "Other" devices in panel.
I had this same problem today on my new N2. Drivers would not install. All I wanted to do was to drag my pics and music onto my SD card. I worked around this of course by removing the SD card from the Note and putting it in the adapter and doing it that way. I still haven't gotten my drivers to install. I may just get the drivers off the Internet
+1, my ONLY complaint about this phone.
I gave up trying to find a fix after installing/un-installing/re-installing drivers/kies/odin3 about a bazillion times and only getting it to work a random few times.
Not even worth the effort...
Dropbox is my best alternative. Sure sux tho...

Thanks, Should've mentioned that I've tried all of the above methods. It may be that, since I work on so many Android devices, my pc is just too full of incompatible drivers and I've yet to clear them properly. Even If i did I'm fairly certain that I'll be working on more devices and will screw it up all over again. My network is pretty quick and Dropbox/esFile Explorer is convenient so I really shouldn't complain.
So I just recently divorced myself from my iPod and iTunes. My S3 is now my primary music player both at home and in the car. I keep my music in a folder on my laptop, and am looking for a program/app that will allow me to sync my S3 with said folder via USB and WiFi. I must have the option of syncing over USB since I will not always have access to WiFi. I tried Kies and could never get it to connect to my phone (which is rooted and may be the cause of my problem). Plus I keep hearing that Kies is a steaming turd. Cheetah Sync seems like it might do the trick but is WiFi only. I should also note that I want the ability to two-way sync so if I delete a file from the phone it will remove it from the folder on the laptop and vice/versa..
Thanks in advance..

Thanks, but I'm not using iTunes.. Just trying to sync my phone with a folder on my laptop..
Do you have a windows vista or 7 laptop? If so, you can connect your phone via usb and select MTP as your device. You'll be able to treat your phone as an external storage by simply dragging and dropping files.

Hello, I have a problem with my SCH-R760, I really want to root it, but whenever I plug it to my computer, it says "MTP Connected" but it doesn't show up on the computer. I have tried the mass storage thing in the settings, but it doesn't work. It says connect USB to use mass storage, when I connect it, the dialog message just disappears without connecting me.
Do I have to buy a special cable? I know I have the right drivers, I got them from Samsung.

Wrong forum, bro.
Try here:

Also check our the Team US Cellular site. Some fine devs and themes. Buckleberry has some nice inverted apps, and the only inverted Skydrive I've found.
Good luck.
