OK I thought I would try my otg cable on my note 8 and well it didn't work. In fact it has rebooted when I pulled it out. It has done it 3 times now since. Any help would be appreciated.
I just tried a generic otg cable I bought a couple of years ago and it worked great. Recognized the cable and usb thumb drive as soon as I plugged it in. I unmounted it in settings before unplugging it and no problems. Wish I could help but no problems here.

Well I hope I can find a fix. I don't want to have to send it in. I'm not rooted but maybe clearing cache and dalvik would do it. I think I can do that without being rooted.
Ok incase anyone has this issue I believe I fixed it but I had to wipe the tablet. The more apps I uninstalled looking for the problem app the worse it got. So I figured I had a bug.
life is better with r00t

Hello,
Please help me. My phone will not connect via USB to a PC. Steps I have taken to try and solve this so far:
- Tried 3 different USB cables;
- Re-installed Kies, Samsung USB drivers, Android SDK google USB drivers, etc
- Turned USB debugging on/off
- Turned Allow Mock Locations on/off
- Tried USB Utilities, tapped apps, etc.
- Tried *#7284# dialpad trick
- Tried 3 different computers (all running win 7 64 bit)
- Unmounted/remounted USB in CWM recovery
- Flashed 3 different ROMs (jedi mind tricks, clones n drones, darkside evolution)
- Restored a nandroid backup from when it was working;
- wiped cache, dalvic cache, factory reset, etc.
When i try to mount usb in CWM it says "E: Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory). Yesterday it was not charging over USB, now it is (flashed darkside evolution ROM this morning).
Current setup:
Android: 4.0.3
Baseband: T989UVLE1
Kernel: 3.0.8_SGH-T989_DARKSIDE.VENOM_02+
Build: DARKSIDE.EVOLUTION.3 v7
If anyone has any ideas I would really really appreciated hearing them. I have been searching and trying fixes for the last couple days and i'm about ready to throw my phone off a bridge.
Thank you!
USB port is shot. This is a know problem with this device. The device will be able to charge, but will not be recognized by the PC. Had the same issue with my wifes phone and was unable to root. Half the time, it wouldn't even charge using the car charger (though the wall charger always worked).
Called TMO and received a warranty replacement. They charged $20, which they later removed when I called and asked them to.
Thank you, at least i'm not crazy!

Yeah for some reason. It looks like a batch of phones have a usb port problem. I assume the phone is newer than February? Because it seems there are a lot of this problem including the power button surfacing on the forums as of late

It is an older phone, purchased last fall right when it hit the shelves. I actually took the thing apart last night and noticed that there was some water damage, it spent an evening outside earlier this year but I hadn't noticed any issues until this weekend. I cleaned some corrosion out of the USB port out with an old toothbrush and bolted it back together, fired it up and everything seems to be working again. Wonder how long its gonna last?

For the past few days i have been racking my brain trying to figure out what went wrong.
For some reason I can no longer connect my phone to my computer to transfer/move files. it acts as if the drivers will not take. when i check the device manager it reads SAMSUNG_Android with the yellow !
I have reinstalled lastest drivers from Samsung site, removed all drivers and tried from Kies software/ rebooted pc and phone countless times. tired my laptop where it use to always work and same results. One this i did notice was at some point i got an error on my internal sd card and that i should format it. I backed up all files via ftp formated the internal sd and tried again.. all with the same results. I have also tried 3 different cables.
PCs both windows 7 one 32bit the other 64.
Phone e4gt rooted FI27, everything else stock
All and Any Help greatly Appreciated.
Here it comes!!
I'm hoping that I'm wrong BUT, that is exactly how my EMMC brick started. Let us know if your phone just shuts down and the only thing you will get is a blue light. There us nothing you can do then but take it back to Sprint for a free replacement. I couldn't figure my USB issues out for maybe a week and then it just died when i plugged it in to transfer photos I'd just taken 30 seconds before it died. Lets hope I'm wrong but I'm writing this with my new phone ate the exact same symptoms with my previous Sammy. Try to get your internal memory backed up now! Boot your CWM and mount your external USB. I wished I'd have.
Try a brand new cable and see if that helps. This phone seems to be especially intolerant of if connections.

Not sure what you mean by boot my CWM. External memrory is ok I can just pull that out. the internal I backed up with FTP was a pain but i did it. I hope you are wrong about the phone dying out on me I am sure they will give me a referb if that is the case.

ok tried cable that i had in the car and same thing
I still say try a brand new cable. When I first had this issue I tried 3 or 4 old ones before buying a new one.
Today my brothers nexus s wouldn't charge except with one particular cable. I think that the cable and port are still within individual tolerances but together there is just too much play in the connection.

took your advice and tried a brand new cable. I am stil having the same issue. anything else i can try? I tried with both usb debugging on and off still same issue
Damn, I was sure that'd work. I guess if you were able to back it up it's time for a replacement.

i was really trying to avoid the replacement. it was worth a shot trying the replacement cord
Hi, I am having a slight problem and am at a loss.
First of all, my phone is stock. I bought my OTG cable a few months ago and it worked just fine. I was using it to play games with my PS3 remote. However, with less time on my hands, I put the games aside and with it, I was no longer using my OTG cable.
Whenever I plug in the OTG cable, nothing happens and I don't get a notification that a USB device is connected. I have confirmed that it is not the OTG cable as I have tried it on 3 other phones, all of which responded to the cable connecting.
I am not sure when this problem started happening, but I didn't notice until yesterday when I was trying to use my OTG cable. In addition, when I plug in my phone to my laptop, my phone doesn't give me the option to turn on debugging mode. Again, I don't know when this problem actually began. I mention this because I am not sure if it is relevant to my OTG cable problem. Yes, I have checked and debugging mode is enabled.
I am not sure what to do and I have scoured the web trying to find a solution. Maybe I am searching in the wrong places, or maybe I am not just searching correctly, but I figured that my last option was coming here.
I thank you ahead for your time and hope that a solution can be found. I will be more than happy to provide any more details of needed.

Sounds like a bad USB port. You can replace it yourself, or do a warranty exchange. I don't think it's software related but try factory resetting. Or another ROM.

It sounds similar to what my phone was doing a few days ago. I don't have the OTG, but when I plugged my phone in to the computer, it only went to charge mode and didn't give the USB options, and the computer didn't recognize it at all. I ended up flashing back to stock rooted and it started working again. I flashed CM and then AeonFluxx again and it continued working, so I assume that it was either an app I had installed or something extra I had flashed. Either way, it's working now.
TL;DR Try reflashing before you start tinkering with the hardware, that fixed a similar problem for me.

Alright, thanks guys.
I think I am just going to do a factory reset.
I am able to charge my phone just fine and it connects to the computer just fine as well (Heck, I can do what many others can't....connect to Kies). I have no problems with data transfers either.
So I assume this is a software based problem.
...I may as well root while I am at it....
Haha, I will tinker around a little bit more before I do a factory reset and come back with my results.
Thanks again!
Are you using a kernel with fast charge?
Never mind. You are not rooted so that is not the issue.
Well, it looks like the factory restore didn't solve either issue. So I ended up calling it in and hopefully the replacement phone will work. Gonna have to wait a bit though...GS3's are currently on back order.
Thanks again for the advice though guys! Appreciate it!

HA i had to wait THREE weeks before FINALLY getting my warranty replacement. Oh and then the replacement was just absolute **** so i sent that back. ANd am now waiting for another device. Good luck buddy! Hope you have better experience with this replacement crap then i do!
Can someone please help me with this issue. My phone (SGH-M919) doesn't have any working issues, except when I plug an OTG cable in, "most of the time" the phone won't recognize it. I can go a couple of days plugging it in without it working, and then one day it will just work all day. I've tried doing a reset. I've also used Kies to reinstall the firmware and none of those things seem to work. I originally used odin as well and that didn't work. I know it's not the cable because I've tried 5 different ones and they all work on my wife's S4. Any help will be much appreciated.
First assumption is bad otg cable.

Thanks for the reply, but as stated all cables work fine in wife's S4. I'm experiencing the issue at this moment. Cable started working immediately after posting this problem, just a few minutes ago (@ 10 hours later) it stopped working "again"! Considering an exchange.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers.
I have installed kids and then smart switch.
My old note 4 that was defective shows up in Windows but the replacement shows as 'unknown device'
I tried safe mode to un install drivers and different USB ports.
Is my device defective? Any ideas?
Thanks!
Maybe try going to developer options and checking if usb debugging is turned off. Try turning it on. Try a different usb port. Try to switch between different usb modes in the notification area when connected. Last but not least factory reset your phone in recovery mode and try connecting it after.
I am experiencing the same problem but I have another problem as well. My phone is an unrooted Galaxy Note 4 running 5.0.1 w/ VRU2BOG5 build. I have tried just about all the USB ports on my computer and get the same result, "unknown device". I have uninstall and reinstalled kies and the associated drivers and still get the same result. I have factory reset the phone and still the same. I was even able to do a firmware upgrade and initialization via kies and still the same problem.
The other problem I am faced with is I can not seem to get any OTG cable to work on my device. Could this be hand in hand?
I am not sure if you (the OP) have noticed but when you installed kies, have you gotten an error for your ethernet controller under other devices in your device manager?
I really like the phone but if I can't 1) root it or 2) transfer data via the usb port (especially through the OTG cable), the phone is useless to me. Any help would be very appreciated.
The USB port may be defective. I replaced mine on my note 2 myself for cheap. But if the phone is still under warranty let them deal with it. You guys tried different cables/computers?

I am not entirely sure it's a bad port but could be. On my note, everything besides a flash drive via OTG cable works. Oh and the computer but it will connect to my laptop. I dunno I'm about to sell the phone.

I need all the luck I can get My computer has had issues before but it has since been fixed. I can hook any other device to it with no issues. As far as phones go, I'm not entirely sure which one I want. Guess it doesn't matter much since not many can be rooted.
