What is needed to connect the Tab Pro 12.2 to Windows 7 via USB? When I attempt to connect Windows doesn't recognize that a device is plugged in at all. I can't find a setting anywhere on the tablet to enable USB connection.
Things to know:
I've installed Kies 3 on the computer but it doesn't recognize the tablet being plugged in either.
I've installed the Samsung USB driver.
I've successfully connected the Tab Pro when in download mode since I was able to root it.
USB debugging is turned on (also tried it with debugging turned off).
Android 4.4.2, build number KOT49H.T900UEUAND4 (rooted)
What am I missing?
Unplug the tablet from your pc. In Kies 3, under Tools, reinstall usb drivers. Reboot pc. Connect the tablet to usb. See if that gets it working.

Thanks for the suggestion. Still no joy. It's like there's no MTP driver or something. When I plug it in to the USB port the tablet recognizes it as it "dings" and tries to charge (it can't because the USB port doesn't supply enough current). However, the pc never makes a sound and doesn't recognize any thing's been plugged in.
Is there some setting I'm missing on the tablet?

I doubt it's the tablet. Probably a driver issue with windows. Try a different cable (usb 2.0 or 3.0) and usb port on the pc

I have had this issue with my Galaxy TabPro 8.4 (similar device). Why don't you try reinstalling the software and drivers on your computer. Also, have you tried a different USB port? These simple techniques have solved the problem. Seems like a problem with your drivers.
Restart your device as well. A simple restart can clear issues.
im having the exact same issues, reinstalled windows, now i cant get my tab to connect ... tried different ports I finally got it to show up as an MTP device but computer doesnt like that one bit.
worked for me (Samsung tab pro)
had the same problem, all i did was shut down my tablet and start it back up (not restart option but actually shut down one) then it popped back up on my laptop as connected.
i think it has to do with the batt. not being able to charge on the laptop and it just over looks it........braking it down Barney style .
Does this sound familiar?
Since updating to an Android Lollipop rom, my Windows PC / Laptop no longer detecting my device

This seems to work for most any device changing Android OS on their device
Disconnect your device from your PC/Laptop.
1
From your Device, disable USB Debugging found in Settings > Developer Options.
1
From your PC/Laptop go to Device Manager, click on View> Show Hidden Devices.
1
Double click Composite ADB Interface, click on Properties.
1
Click on the Driver tab and choose on Roll Back Driver. This will uninstall the problematic drivers.
Should 'Roll Back Driver' option be grayed out, click Uninstall.
1
In the confirmation pop up window, click the box marked "Delete the driver software for this device" and then click OK.
Repeat this step for all Composite ADB Interface' entries.
1
Shut down your PC/Laptop, then start again.
(IMPORTANT: Do not "Restart" from the shutdown menu, you must do a full shut down)
1
Once PC has fully rebooted, open device manager and keep it to the side.
1
Connect the device to your PC/Laptop. Your PC will recognize the device as a storage device.
1
From your device go back to Developer options and select USB Debugging.
1
Unplug the device, wait 15-20 seconds and reconnect. You should now see your device from you PC and Device Manager should now have a "Portable Devices" folder
1
Should 'Composite ADB Interface' show up again, repeat (4) and (5) to roll back the driver update.
Ƹ̵̡- It seems, using the universal driver is also a good suggestion. These can be downloaded here -Ʒ
LGUnitedMobileDriver Version 3.11

always works.
In my device manager there is no ACER.... When I connect my LG G3 (F400S) Android 4.4.2 version, nothing happens in the PC, nothing happens in the device manager (no refresh, no new drivers of LG or LGE), the phone just charges (nothing from the notifications as well). I have installed the LG drivers (latest from LG website), LG PC Suite, tried to connect from LG PC Suite, but the PC refuse to detect the phone. I tried with different USB cables, different USB ports and different PC with different windows (7, 8.1 and 10), absolutely nothing. More surprisingly, my friend has the LG G3 (D855) which he can connect and get detected by his laptop but mine does not in this laptop with his cable in the same USB port! I think the problem is with the phone itself even if it charges. Please HELP!!
@Mr Rus
Is this device new or did you purchase used?
Does the device charge? If so, how?
Has your LG G3 ever been connected to your PC/Laptop?
Do you hear any sound from your PC, when you connect the device via USB cable?
Hi,
1. The device was bought as used online. It said new on the website but by the look of it i know it is used (scratch at laser autofocus and screen not properly glued OR it is a defective one).
2. Yes it does charge with the charger. The one i got charged the phone 0 to 100 in 4 hours. So i use my tablet charger (5V, 2A) to charge the phone with another cable (about 2h and 15min from 0 to 100) as the cable which came with the phone also causes the slow charging. When connected to the PC the phone vibrates and charges. I can see the 'electric current' on the battery icon and on the lock screen I can see it says charging (%).
3. It is the first time i've connected the phone with my different PCs. First one i tried without the drivers installed then tried with driver and pc suite installed. In the second PC the driver was installed first then the phone was connected. No positive result.
4. No, no sound at all. But i remember that there was some android adb stuff in the device manager (maybe same to the ACER...), i uninstalled it without checking the box mentioned in your instructions unfortunately. Then i heard a sound when connecting the phone. And right after that another sound, in my taskbar it says unknown device and error (i forgot the error code). But nothing on my phone in the notifications, it just charges. Under USB controllers in my pc i could see Unknown usb composite device (something like that) with yellow exclamation mark. I googled and had this uninstalled. Since then no sound at all.
I cannot return the phone for exchange as the shipping cost would be too much for me to afford (about USD 70-90). I am waiting for a software update as maybe this will solve the problems. I am still with kit kat 4.4.2. But if this is a hardware issue, it would be difficult to solve this.
Also the USB OTG does not work.

Maybe you have some problems with usb
Maybe you have some problems with usb port. I use usb hubs in such situations. Somehow, gadget seamlessly connects to a PC via the the extraneous device. I found good reviews for usb hubs on topchoice.best, if you suddenly decide to take my advice.

There is no PC connection setting, no MTP settings as well.
I am on a stock based rom.
If you are using aosp or cm based you might find the mtp in storage settings.
If the previous owner defaults the connection to charge only then windows will not detect the phone.
A friend of mine did the same and i found the setting to reset back to a mtp connection when plugged in with usb.
If i remember i had to hit the ellipsis button ... The three dots and it was in there. Sorry i am vague but it was a long time ago and i am stock based.
If somebody running aosp or cm can chime in and tell him where exactly that setting is that would be nice.
Otherwise goggle it.
Good luck my friend!

Unfortunately there is no such setting. I am using the stock ROM from LG itself (android 4.4.2) and the only setting about PC connectivity is Share & connect --> LG PC Suite. There is not options for MTP even after connecting the phone. I know for my friend when he connect his, he get the notification to change to charge only, MTP etc from the notification bar, but mine nothing. I done factory reset so, I do not think that the default setting is still set to charge only. Tried everything for this issue :/
For a last resort you can try another usb cable and/or a different usb port. There are also apps on the play store that will do wifi direct.

Thanks bro. Good job.
@TonyStark, thanks for the job you have done, for us, but my friend's AT&T LG G3 does not connect to PC at all, i have tried many ways like 3845#*850# Post Setting > Diag Settings > USB Set for Diag && Settings > Diag Settings > USB Set for Diag, but still no luck, i have also installed LGUnitedMobileDriver which was also suggested by you on the first post, No Luck yet,
Edited: In the last i came to know that the USB jack or port of the G3 was badly damaged, hence, after knowing that i told my friend that he is luck because his devices is still charging with this port condition. And he went to the hardware shop happily
And you were pleased to shut down that thread, I don't know why? may be you were trying or looking to make something better than that but we lost a good hope.
Now please help me what can i do with it, it is running 4.4.2, any thing we want to do with it is failed due to no USB connection to the PC,
by the way, i know i can root it with kingoroot and install autoRec and than TWRP and can upgrade to Lollipop by the way of putting all material into SDCard but does updating solves the USB connection problem OR we will be in the same state. As far as Marshmallow is also landing soon so, I think my friend must not stay on kitkat, and lastly an LG G3 like wooping device may not live its all life without USB connection. Please help. Thanks

how
you can use last version lg mobile driver
You can access the PC connection from your phone setting/storage/upper right corner option/USB PC Connection.
Then you will have 3 options of Charge tablet, Media sync (MTP), Send images (PTP)
Unfortunately even after I select MTP, my PC still can't detect my tablet LG G Pad 7.0 LTE

Hi
I have a Sony Xperia Z 5 Premium dual e6833 model. a few days ago after about one month when i try to connect a usb flash via otg cable the usb not detected. I think after update to Android 6.0 (ota update) this problem has occured.then I download the 6.0 stock rom to flash via flash tools that i found phone can't connect to pc. Flash tools and Xperia companion can't recognize the phone however driver's installed.but Flash tools can detect phone in flashmode and fastbootmode. I flashed the 6.0 buildnumber 185 whit full wipe. But the problem not solved. Then 6.0 buildnumber 163. Then 6.0.1 buildnumber 224. Then 5.0 buildnumber 170 and all these fladhed whit full wipe. But the problem still not solved.
By the way... When I try to connect the phone to pc via usb cable it's not detecte by pc and no reaction in pc and phone. But when i turned off the phone and connect the phone to pc via usb cable and then turn on the phone Xperia companion and flash tools can recognize the phone and the pop up notification for selecting connection mode is shown in notification bar. But flash tools recognize the phone whit usb debugging off however the usb debugging is on and unknown source is active in setting.
In this situation if disconnect the phone and try to reconnect it the same problem is occured.
I tried to change the settings usb connection from setting - developer options- select usb configuration but the problem still not solved.
Please help me
Did you select the type of usb but connection on the phone? In 6.0 it gives you the various options such as charge only or mtp connection.

Hi, for the otg connection there is a quick setting. I think sony found this solution to avoid problems with the open micro usb port and the IP67 certification. Try to connect a USB key to the phone and press the search usb quick setting, worked for me!

Hello everybody,
I received my OP3 yesterday and I'm quite happy with my phone, but I'm having an worrying problem with the USB connection. Indeed, I cannot seem to get the USB connection working in MTP mode. In fact, I cannot get anything else working than charging mode.
Things I already tried :
- Enabling USB debugging
- 3 different cables (OP2, OP3, no brand)
- Manually choosing MTP mode in developper options
- 2 different computers
Maybe the most worrying thing is that the Windows device manager doesn't see any device when I connect the phone, not even a device with an error...
I'm really starting to think this is a hardware problem
Please, HELP ! :crying:

I had the same issue with my MXP and still have it with my OP. Just can't seem to get my pc to recognize them as storage devices.
A workaround I have found is to boot into twrp, then their recognized immediately and can be used as an external storage device.
I also got 'charging only' mode when I first connected OP3 to my laptop but after changing the settings at developer options I could do the file transfers and all.
I hope some of your privacy setting isn't messing up with it because AFAIK it shouldn't be a hardware problem.
I have the same issue.

Thing is I cannot unlock bootloader and install TWRP because the USB connection is needed for that

When you connect the phone, Marshmallow by default connects in charging mode.
- Swipe down and you will see USB for charging "Touch for more options"
- Select 'File Transfers'
Transfer files.

That sounds like a hardware problem.
I don't have developer USB debugging mode on or anything.
I have this issue with my op3. Just got it in the post today. My windows 10 pc bleeps when pugged in but does not load a drive. In device manager it shows up as the d drive but not in file explorer. Annoying!
My windows 7 (company laptop) recognised my phone first time and installed the drivers no problem. I had problems with my USB flash drive earlier today until I discovered the hidden enable OTG toggle.

I had the same problem.
What I did to fix it was the following steps:
- Disable USB debugging in developer options
- Choose PTP mode in developer options
- Choose MTP mode in developer options
- And Done, my PC now recognize the phone in MTP mode
what i do to fix this
- disable OEM unlocking
- disable developer options
- plug USB (wait for drivers install)
- enable developer options
- enable USB debuging
Gah, having similar problems!
Have tried all the workarounds suggested here, but whenever I plug it in on MTP mode it just shows me the OnePlus Drivers CD Drive.
I have installed the drivers (multiple times) but Windows 10 just won't see the phone when I plug it on MTP mode, just shows me the Drivers CD Drive every single time.
It's recognised as PTP no problems, but no luck on MTP!
Any ideas?

Hi, i have the same problem, has anyone found any solution for this? It's starting to get pretty irritating... :/
Are you sure youre choosing file transfer mode from the notification area where by default its selected as charging only.
Try this
Hi Guys,
Try halfway inserting the USB cable into your PC, I was having the same frustrating problem and noticed that did the trick for me.
Still trying to figure out why the connectors are not responding when the USB cable is fully inserted, I admit that this is my first device using USB Type-C.
strange
The problem is not getting any better, i simply cannot get windows to even recognise my phone in device manager. Tried it in adb and fastboot, also tried a hard reset but no solution.. I requested a repair from oneplus because i think it cannot be anything else than a hardware problem.
guys i found solution on op3 forum... it worked 4 me with win 10 enterprise... download and install update from here... https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3099229
This worked fo me: (i'm using Win10)
Device manager, and find "MTP device" then driver update, find on computer, and select MTP USB Composit Device. It works with enabled Debugging, OEM unlock is on too. :good:

so im using a pixel 2 xl, and i cant seem to transfer files between my phone and any pc whatsoever, i used to do this easily before, ive tried everything, turned on usb debugging, use the notification drawer changed the cable, but nothing seems to be working, what coudl be the problem and how do i solve it ??????????????????
USB mode now always defaults to "charging". You have to change it manually to "MTP" each time. At least in my experience.
I had the same problem. With my Nexus 5x and USB-C to USB cable it works, but with my Pixel 2 XL it works not, so i had to buy a new USB-C to USB cable and now it works.
Not sure what cable you are using but do not use a USB C to USB C cable, make sure its a USB c to USB a.

Ive been having issues lately too. Doesnt matter which cable i use. It will connect then disconnect over and over again. IT may be my computer but not sure how to check why it would be doing that.
Are you doing gigabytes of data? If it's just in the hundreds of megabytes transfer to Google Drive. I do that when I have files on my computer I want over to my phone and vice versa.

I had the same issue with my Pixel 2 as well and after reading through numerous forums, I figured out how to fix it. its been two days now and I am still able to transfer files via USB.
Here is what you need to do:
1) Enable developer mode by going into Settings > System About Phone > Build number and tapping a few times (5 I think!)
2) Click back and then select Advanced > Developer Options
3) Scoll down the menu until you see "Default USB configuration". Tap and then select the option you require (ie: File Transfer)
4) Click back, then scroll up the menu till you see "USB Debugging". Enable USB Debugging.
5) Connect your Pixel 2 to you laptop/PC. The phone should appear in the Devices list in 'Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers. Leave it connected for another 5 or 10 minutes and it should become available in "This PC"
6) Disconnect the Pixel2 from your laptop/PC
7) Disable "USB Debugging" and disable "Developer Mode" on the phone.
8) Reconnect the Pixel2 to your PC/Laptop. It should now appear under "This PC" every time you connect and you should now be able to view and transfer files between you PC and Pixel2.
Let me know if it works for you or not.

I had the same issue on my notebook yesterday - the phone would connect, but once I transmitted a larger file the transmission was terminated after a few seconds.
In my case it wasn't the cable, it was the USB port on my notebook! I simply used a different one and then it worked flawlessly
Thank god my notebook has 4 USB ports, I pity people with notebooks with a single USB port :laugh:

Got the same problem. Since a few days device isn't recognized on any computer. Tried serveral usb cables (they were all working before) - no success. As soon as i am connecting device to a windows computer it says "device couldn't get regonized properly". So it isn't recognized as android phone. So your method didn't work (tried all the steps before). I also remarked before, thad my device sometimes restarts as i plug in an usb cable. Mainly when connected to a pc but also serveral times only when charging. So i resetted my device back to all stock (even formated data), flashed original boot whitout twrp, no root. It's starting nice but i even can't install the update (january patch) through device. Alway gives me install error. So it isn't recognized in adb... So i can't use fastboot mode to reinstall twrp.... Any advice? Think gonna claim for replacement.... Seems a hardware problem.
Had something similar a couple of months back.
Just do a quick check with usb dac and otg. If they are not working, the component is fried. RMA.
Else, faulty cable or friend port in laptop.
