Hi,
I have a new PC with Win 8.1 Pro x64. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini and have installed the latest (I would suppose) Samsung drivers for Mobile Phones ver 1.5.45.0
Using it on my other PC with Win 7 Pro x64 anytime I plug the USB cable into the PC I see in Explorer the device and both partitions/memory of the phone being Card and Phone.
Using it on my new PC with Win 8.1 in Explorer I do not see anything anymore. How do I access phone data like on Win 7 PC?
I do not know if this can help but this is what I have in devices resources panel:
Under "Samsung Android Phone" I have Samsung Android ADB Interface
Under "Portable Devices" I have Samsung Mobile MTP Decice with a Alert yellow mark; but I have it for all other Card Reader devices.
I also find it strange, if I am correctly recall, that before installing Samsung USB Drivers I did not have any Yellow Alert mark on other USB card reader devices. Is there any correlation between installed Samsung Drivers or not?
Lastly, is there a direct and official URB for obtaining the most updated Samsung USB Drivers for Mobile phone or not? If so, which one is it so I can bookmark it?
Please advise.....
NOTE: I know this has no influence on device behavior on Windows but I have CyanogenMod 11 running on this phone. Just wanted to let you know.

Hi all,
I just bought a Galaxy Nexus and I'm having problems with the ADB port: my Lenovo w520 laptop running win7x64 simply does not detect the ADB device in device manager. I tried connecting the phone to my wife's laptop (HP running win7x64) and the ADB device is detected so it is not a problem of the phone or the cable. On my pc I only get the Galaxy Nexus MTP device and that is all.
It is not a matter of driver, there is simply no device detected hence it is not possible to send ADB command.
I do not know if it is related, but samsung USB mobile driver fails during installation without giving a valid reason.
anyone having similar problem ?
thanks

So... how do you know its not a driver issue? Sounds like one to me. Have you tried manually installing other drivers?
Well, what is actually strange is that:
1) if I connect the phone to my wife laptop with USB debugging ON and no driver installed (it's HER pc, I cannot install my stuff), a composite device with two devices (MTP and ADB) is detected.
2) in fastboot mode, my laptop detects the ADB port and install proper drivers; using Galaxy Nexus toolkit, I can successfully list my device.
When the phone is fully booted, my laptop simply see only the MTP device. If it were just a matter of driver i would simply get an Unknown device in win7 device manager...
thanks
cheers

Eh. Fastboot is all you need. :thumbup:
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
After several attempts (including installing win7 x64 in a virtual machine ...) I finally solved my problem: it was indeed a driver issue, my win7 did not automatically searched for proper driver (and the Samsung driver is available on-line in windows update). I forced a driver update for the MTP device so that windows downloaded Samsung driver and now both the phone and ADB port are detected and working. It is still a mystery why the driver provided by various tool-kit failed to install, but nonetheless the GNex is now fully set-up.
Actually the solution is so dumb that I feel a bit ashamed of myself...
thank
bye
If I enable USB debugging on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and connect the phone to my Windows 8 machine, the PC crashes.
Has anyone else successfully connected to a win8 pc while in debug mode?
I have problems like this on my win8 too.
Windows 8, while it is in RTM mode, there is still a lot of work to be done on it. I would not recommend upgrading your desktop or notebook, unless you have a touch screen. Win8 is awful in my opinion, with some cool features.

Sadly as an IT admin I don't have the luxury of "Skipping" OS's and must learn them whether I like them or not. I will test this out and get back to you OP.
Thanks. I don't mean for this to turn into the pros/cons of win8, I was curious if others had seen the same behavior.
The system looks like it tries searching for a compatible driver and crashes with a "Bad_Pool_Header" error.
For me windows 8 installed the correct drivers by itself all i had to do is enable it in device manager
Both of my Dell workstations crashed, but my Lenovo ThinkPad didn't. Appears to be hardware/driver related. I'll keep digging.
I also have the same problem and error. Any solutions?
had that problem only once, now it works fine

I resolved the blue screens by installing Samsung Kies which installs the USB drivers for the Galaxy Nexus. Afterwards Windows 8 (Pro RTM 64bit) correctly installs all drivers when using USB Debugging mode, no more blue screens.

That seems to have fixed it! I even uninstalled the Samsung Kies software (but kept the drivers) and everything is working smoothly.
Thanks again.
Hi I have that stuffs what in the title, and have connection problems also
I have 64 bit Win8 Pro so I have media stuffs and all what Kies need. I installed Kies, restarted the machine and try to connect phone. Connected the USB Kies still write to me Connect some device.... In windows device manager have an Unrecognized Android Phone, so I think driver sucks. Try to connection problem wizard in Kies, doesn't help. If I run as an admin don't help to me....
Have some way to manually install that driver in win device manager?
Under win7 64 problem few weeks ago I can use my phone with Kies, but with win8 I can't.
I hope we can figure something out guys!
loool samsung support want to make me do it factory reset I said lol, this device work under win7 with Kies but nothing happened since yesterday, I found a way to manually instal driver, but just write me connecting for a half hour, and I so bored and disconnect the phone. Please anyone help me out!
Same problem
Im having the same problem. My pc doesnt recognize the phone(with kies installed and the latest updates from microsoft and samsung)(with drivers ofc). I have contacted with samsung support center and they say that so far they cant guarantee that kies will work fine for all the devices in windows 8. I ve never had windows 7 so i dont know about a problem there. I ve upgraded from Windows XP(which Kies was working exellent) to Windows 8 and now im facing these problems. Hope to fix soon
Samsung galaxy ace, gt-s5830, 2.3.6
Windows 8 Pro 32-bit
Win7 drivers "SHOULD" work with Win8... but anyways, did you try uninstalling ALL drivers of your phone and removing cached drivers from your system? Then do a fresh install of drivers try offline first. It doesn't work, remove everything and try if windows itself can find the driver for you. But usuallly the phone itself would make the PC install the drivers the phone needs.

Galaxy Ace 2 is I8160 not S7500
I get the following error
"Unable to find software on your PC that can recognize your device. Service pack 3, Windows Media Player, version 11 or higher, or Samsung USB Driver for Windows XP, or Android file transfer for Mac OS must be installed (see www.microsoft.com or www.android.com/filetransfer)
when I connect my note 2 to my pc via usb. I also have a white note 2 that was connecting without a problem earlier today.
I've tried installing Samsung Kies, installing the Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones v1.5.14.0 with no luck. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions.
Stupid Samsung Drivers not working. Tried everything!
i just started having this issue out of nowhere as well. WTF? I've tried over and over to install the drivers and nothing is working. This is driving me crazy and I can't seem to fix it. My wife's S3 will no longer connect as well.
HELP!
