Phone Not Connecting to Computer Via USB - HELP!!

i got an S3.. and my computer has xp pro. i had to restore my computer recently from a saved image of my system. before i restored my computer, i was able to connect my S3 to it via USB with no problem. but after i restored it, i'm unable to.
i downloaded and installed the MTP driver, which got my computer to recognize my phone before i restore it. but now its not working and i dont see it listed in Device Manager. whats weird is that when i connect my S3 to my computer, the phone doesnt give any notifications that the phone is connected to USB like it used to before. and it also doesnt give me the 2 options of connecting by either MTP or Camera. all it does is charge my phone. how do i fix this?

Try a different USB cable. I had a similar problem and using another cable fixed it for me.

hi bigtom.. i tried that and it doesnt work. and like i said before, when i connect my phone to the laptop, all it does is charge the phone.. the phone doenst give me a notification that its being connected via USB. and i think its important to get this notification.

Make sure that USB Debugging is ticked.
Settings>Developer Options> USB Debugging.

You also might get the pdanet usb driver and install that in your PC in order to get the usb to recognize an internet access via USB.
You should be able to download the USB driver from PDANet's website.
Just a "maybe" thought. Hope it helps!

I have been running Windows 8 Enterprise at work and Windows 8 Professional on all my computers at home. I haven't had any problems connecting my phone to any computer and being able to see my phone. When i first connected my phone, the drivers automatically installed but my phone did not show up as a device under drives nor did Odin see my phone, I simply disconnected the USB cable from my phone, waited a few seconds, plugged it back in and then the computer showed my phone and Odin recognized it. Make sure you have internet access as I think the drivers are automatically downloaded from the internet.

I haven't used Odin or adb but I have cm10 installed and I was able to copy files over using windows 8.

I installed the drivers once. Everytime I connect the phone via USB to my PC it offers me to install the drivers again (as if I didn't do it the first time).
Howerver, I can access the phone data via the Windows Explorer, I can't see it in Total Commander, though... (I haven't changed any settings).
Try to unplug the phone, restart it, restart your PC, disable any antivirus programs, plug the phone to the PC and open the setup.exe as an Administrator.

Problem: conecting A5 to Laptop

Hi, I am needing some help. I connect my A5 to my laptop but a pop up from Win10 says that doesn't recognize the usb device. And continue saying that the last usb device connected didn't work correctly and windows didn't recognize it.
I think this happened after installing ADB and some other things like ZX3 to try to unlock my A5 and then uninstalled them, so perhaps I deleted some drivers in the process.
Can you suggest any solution for me to try?
Thanks in advance!!!!

Try connecting your device and then deleting its drivers in the device manager. After that reconnect it and it should show up as normal. Let me know if it helped

No, already tried that. Same message. Thanks!

I tried another usb port on my laptop, and recognize the phone. I don´t know we after some cel phone configurations I lost connection and recognition.
I tried again the first port and touch some items in the developers option, set the MTP protocol and now it seems working.
I stil don´t understand what I have to do to establish a good connection for every time I need it.
Regards.

Hi all. I'm back because I stll have the same problem. Can't connect A5 to laptop. The message says that there is a bad descriptor. It is the 43 error code from window 10. I tried downloading lastest Samsung drivers that comes in an .exe file and installed them. But same error.
Even trying to update the error driver to the lastest samsung usb driver, window says it already has the latest drivers and do not installed them.
Every suggestion from searching in google tried. Don't know what else can I do!!!!
Thanks for your suggestions!!!!!

SOLUTION!!!!!
I was using an old usb type-A cable with a usb type-a to type-c adapter. I tried using the original Samsung cable and it worked!!!!
I can believe this was the problem!!!
Hope I can help another with this! Thanks to all for your support!!!

Hi, I continue finding problems to connect A5 with Laptop. After finding the original problem was the cable, I now use always the original cable.
The problem is that the phone doesn't appear in windows explorer unless I go to developer options and set the USB configuration from RNDIS (Ethernet USB) to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol). After that, a pop-up appears asking for permission for data access. I have to agree with the pop up to see the phone in the laptop.
I think I have to change permissions to granted for ever the MTP. Am I right? Where do I have to set it?
Thanks in advance!!!!

New update!! I have just chat with Samsung. The told me to dial *#0808#. That access the USBSettings options. There I changed the default to MTP + ADB.
Now I no longer need to access the development options. It still appears the pop up, asking for permission, but for now I can live with that!!!
