I could not connect my Lumia 950 to a Windows 10 PC using the data cable the phone came with.
When I connect them the phone asks if I want to enable "data connection" I push yes. The PC is installing some 950 firmware or driver but nothing happens. I cannot reach the phone. Any idea?
try install Windows Device Recovery Tool (because drivers)

P.S.
in case that not helped, also try install Nokia Software Recovery Tool (this tool not working with Lumia phones but install and fix current drivers)

you dont need to enable any data connection, just plug USB cable and look in "My Computer"
if Windows Phone not show in "My Computer" go to Control Panel - Devices and Printers, look for Windows Phone there

Doesn't work. It cannot find driver for it. I tried it more times using different USB ports. This is ridiculous. A Microsoft product cannot find driver for another Microsoft product.
driver work just fine... seems your Windows update not working (or you block something). i dont have any problem with Lumia 950 on Windows 10 Pro
did you try install Windows Device Recovery Tool and Nokia Software Recovery Tool? (you have drivers in this tools)

Not sure, how can I check?
I solved it. If anybody runs into similar issues the problem was the Windows itself. I had Win 10 Pro N version freshly installed. Win 10 Pro N doesnt contain Media Player which is needed to connect a mobile phone even an Android. Which is strange. I realized when I couldnt connect an old Android either.
I tried to install media feature set but it didnt help. I had to reinstall Win 10 Pro version. Everything works now.
so you moved the piano because you couldn't move the chair?
Mine was connecting a week ago, but now the Lumia 950 is recognized by Windows Device Recovery Tool , but doesn't appear in the file browser no more.

I had the same issue and found this thread while looking, my issue is that the usb3 port of my pc would only charge the phone, no other options available however when I moved the usb cable to a usb 2 port everything worked as it should, phone companion, import photos etc, strange considering the cable supplied with phone is fast charge usb c type yet in doesn't work in the fastest port on my pc.
hope this helps someone out
I had a similar issue after Win 10 anniversary update. Plugging phone into USB 3 hub would not recognize the phone (even though it worked before the update). I tried plugging it directly into a USB port on the MB and it recognized the phone, installed the drivers, and connected. AFTER this, I was able to connect via the USB 3 hub, as I had before the update. Hope this helps somebody.
Interesting...
I had some similar problem with the Continuum docking station, where the provided (with the dock) cable wouldn't allow the phone to see it at first.
It then worked after I swapped both ends... Go figure.
Hello guys,
It seems I have the same issue here, but my phone won't turn at all its just vibrate when plug in the cable.
I want to connect it to the PC to use windows device recovery tool.
I think its a known problem (Lumias) so any help will be appreciated !

Laptop won't detect phone, tried different PCs, different USB cables, and even got the USB port changed but still no luck. When I connect it to my LED TV, the phone says it is connected in USB mode and disk drive option works. However, when connected to laptop, it goes only into charging mode. Downloaded the HTC Sync Manager too but still no detection of the phone whatsoever. Help, pls?
Wich OS do you use? If Windows, what does device manager say?

I tried on Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 8. The hardware manager says NOTHING, there is no notification when the phone is connected. Although today I tried it on Windows 8.1 pro, and it worked for like a minute. All options worked fine, the disk drive, USB Tethering etc but then it stopped working again.

I bought it off the internet a month back. The guy I got it from said he never rooted it. So, no custom rom or any modding done yet. I'm currently using Ubuntu, this too doesnt detect my phone. And I tried again on my LED TV but the USB Connection was established in like 2 seconds so there's no problem with the port or the cable. What drivers do you use? My phone doesnt even get detected by the HTC Sync.
Hi friends, I follow you every day and I love you!
I have a very big problem with my Note 10.1 2014 edition, that I can't solve. When I connect it to the computer (I tried 5 computers with different windows versions) it only charge the battery, but it's not recognised by kies or Odin. In Windows 8.1 it is shown as "unrecognised usb driver", in windows 7 too and it isn't seen at all in windows xp. I tried reinstalling kies, factory reset the tab, but without success. What can I do? I'm thinking about sending it in assistance.
Thank you and excuse me for my bad English!

When you plug in the tablet does it ask you (on the tablet screen) if you want to connect as a media device or charge only? Check your developer settings that you don't have debug mode set.
No, it doesnt ask anything...

Have you confirmed that you are NOT in USB debug mode?
Also make sure drivers are installed on computer. Sometimes it can take a few minutes to install drivers. When I first put mine on computer at work I had to manually install driver's.

I have the same issue. I have been searching for a fix. I want to root but PC will not recognize it or pop up with anything, tablet only charges nothing else up on tablet. I have search and searched but nothing. I am also running windows 8.1.
*****
I have now tried a 2nd PC using all USB plugs. Installed Kies nothing, uninstalled and installed only driver still nothing. Clicked version 6 times on build number to get Developer options. I enabled USB debugging.
I am starting to get upset, I just want to Root for a few functions. It shouldn't be this difficult.
Anyone have any thoughts? It could be a simple thing we are over looking.
Change cable
Also try rebooting your PC .
My laptop stops finding USB devices after about 2 weeks.
Solved
I solved selling the tablet for 430$!
For those who are still having the problem, this solution worked for me on Windows 7.
I installed the first "Download" Link from here.

I recently acquired a Sony Xperia C6506 (ZL LTE). Before I start playing around with this phone, i need to offload some photos. I'm trying to connect the phone to my laptop running Windows 7 via the USB. My system does not recognize the phone. I'm assuming it's because I don't have the correct driver on my windows system . (I've also tried "PC Companion but had no luck there either). I searched the Sony web site for a driver but did not see a specific one for the C6506. Does anyone know where I can find the correct driver for the USB on Windows 7? Or does anyone have any other ideas why this might not be working?
Thanks
I have the same phone and windows 7 recoginzed it and installed the driver by itself. Didn't remember if it downloaded it or found it from the system. Perhaps you can try the PC companion software from Sony.

Thanks for the reply - I've loaded PC Companion and in step two, it never recognizes the device.

What happens when you connect the phone to your PC? Anything? Do you see any messages popping up? Any errors? Do you see it in device manager? Also, do you see any messages on your phone when you plug it in? What USB connection mode is set in your phone's settings? In general, MTP should be the most universal method.
I have the same phone, and it is recognized perfectly by Windows 7 (at work) and Windows 8.1 (at home). When you install Sony PC Companion, it includes the proper drivers, so you don't need to do anything extra (you do need additional drivers for flash mode and ADB, but that's a different topic). I would suggest trying another PC, to see if it makes any difference. If it still doesn't work, it might be something with your phone...
As an alternative, you can use a WiFi connection to access your files on the phone. I often use either ES File Explorer or Software Data Cable - they both provide an FTP service that you can connect to from your PC over WiFi.
Have you tried with another cable? My Xperia is recognized perfectly out-of-the-box on Windows 7, 8.1 and 10, as soon as I connect it, PC starts to search and download drivers, no PC Companion installed nor Flashtool drivers. :/

Yeah, that would be a good option to start, forgot to mention it. I've seen bad USB cables quite a few times, more often than I'd expect...
Thanks again for the quick replies and the suggestions cause they worked - it was the cable. The cable I was using was capable of charging the phone but did not allow Windows to recognize it. I used a different cable and it worked fine. Tharnks again. Now the fun begins changing the phone into a media playing device. If you have any suggestions on this I'm all ears.
Thanks

Change the option to File Transfer from the popup/notification on your phone when you connect it to the PC. It works for me.
EDIT: If it still doesn't change, check the adb drivers.

i am not getting any popup.
Check the sliding switch on the right hand edge of the op3 is "down" to allow ALL notifications. There are plenty of "install OP3 drivers" videos on Youtube. Windows drivers are also on the phone.
This should still work - the drivers are also supplied on the phone. Doing nothing other than connecting a op3 to a windows pc should cause a cd drive to appear in Windows Device Manager and in File Explorer (look under "This PC") for "CD Drive (drive letter: OnePlus Drivers" . Double Click the icon and run "OnePlus_USB_Drivers_Setup.exe". If you are running a recent version (and clean installed in the last few months) of W10 Pro then you may hit driver signing issues
Hello,
I just got myself a brand new LG G4 H815 and it is running Marshmallow. I want to upgrade to Nougat so I installed LG Bridge on my windows 10 PC, connected my phone with original USB cable but I get message "no mobile device connected". PC recognizes my phone and I can transfer files from and to the PC. I have LG universal mobile drivers installed and the phone is in MTP mode. Weirdly, once I switch it into charging mode, LG Bridge recognizes it but won't allow me to upgrade it since it must be in MTP mode. Can someone tell me a solution to this problem or tell me if I can update my phone in some other way? LG PC suite tells me that there's some sort of Verizon app built into my phone which will do it, but I cant find it anywhere.
This is a common problem. It is some sort if glitch with windows 10
In hardware devices window are u sure the driver doesn't appear as question mark after u connect?
Remove to device driver and let windows reinstall it automaticly when you restart windows
Try again

Yes, I've done it, since I had some issues with other device's drivers on win 10. It didn't help. I'll try on Win 7.
