Had my A70 since July time, no issues so far, except for now. First time I needed to connect to my PC, Win 10 comes up with the 'WIndows didn't recognise the device' error. Have tried 2 different USB cables thinking it might be that but no different. Then I plugged my partners identical phone into the PC and it recognised it straight away so am assuming that there's no issue with the PC itself in terms of drivers etc. USB configuration/connections settings on both phones are identical, i. e. 'Transferrring files'. Tried Developer options with USB debugging on, I get connection sounds but eventually the error message on the PC. Anyone had similar or any ideas what the issue with my phone might be because i'm stumped?
OK, sussed it. With phone connected to PC I turned it OFF. Then turned it on again still connected. PC recognised something as an ADB device and said I needed to restart the PC, which I did. On restart, Device manager showed a Samsung Mobile USB Composite device connected but still didn't show in Windows Explorer. I disconnected the phone from PC and then plugged it back in again, this time I got a message on the phone asking me if I wanted to allow connections, I pressed 'Allow' and there it was.
Didn't have to do this with my partners phone so have no idea why mine should be any different!

My TP2 (vodafone) has decided it doesn't want to connect via USB any more. I have tried different USB leads, and verified it's not that by using other devices. I've tried different USB ports on my desktop (Windows 7 RC 7100) and also tried my laptop (XP) neither of which want to connect.
I've checked the USB to PC section in settings and tried it as both Activesync and disk drive, and with and without the 'enable faster data synchronization' box ticked, and soft reset after changing each setting. but every time the computer just won't recognise that I have plugged a USB device in.
Any suggestions?
No one have any ideas on this? I've tried a hard reset now in desperation, and it still doesn't seem to work.
PC does not recognize TP2 connection
Same problem for me; the TP2 is not recognized by the PC (or laptop)
Is there no program to check this? Otherwise.......I have to send for warranty repair.
Anybody any idea??
I have the same problem.
I can't get the device to connect to my PC by USB. It charges through the PC USB lead though.
What did you end up doing? Is it time to make a warranty claim?
I'm not sure if it applies to your situation, but for the longest time I could not get my Kaiser to sync with my laptop (which I usually kept wifi off on).
Turns out ActiveSync was out of date and didn't work since I had upgraded to WM6.1. If you're up to date already that probably doesn't help, but I thought I'd toss it out there.
just to let you know, i returned my tp2 to vodafone and the replaced it. the new one worked fine as soon as i plugged it in to the usb. so that proved it had to be a hardware fault.
Hi everyone
For the last couple of days I've been having trouble with getting my computer to recognize my phone. When I connect it, the usual red/orange LED starts glowing, but there's no reaction from the computer. Neither does the phone show any signs of having connected. The usual "choose which connection type you want box" doesn't pop up, and there really aren't any signs of having connected, other than the charging LED.
I've tried reinstalling Windows Mobile Device Center, tried switching cables, I've checked the connection settings on the phone, but can't find any irregularities there, so I'm a bit lost here. Do you have any thoughts?
For the record, I have a Rhod100 and I'm using Win7 64-bit, as well as Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit.
Have you unchecked the faster connection?
Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC. Uncheck the enable faster connection. My win7x64 didn't wanna connect until I did that.
By "the faster connection" you mean the Storage Card mode right? If that's what you mean, then yes, I have unchecked it.
I have chosen the ActiveSync option, and have also enabled the option to always ask which connection type I want upon connection, however the box never pops up :/
Thanks for your reply

Activesync is the one that uses faster data sync, not storage card.
I know that the USB has a problem of going out for some people, so it could be an issue with that....have you tried to connect via bluetooth??

If the box isn't popping up, there is a problem with the USB connection try a different cable; if that doesn't work, take a magnifying glass and examine the phone USB connector - them may be some bent pins in the connector. If so, GENTLY straighten them out.
ActiveSync is picky anyways even if you have a good usb connection. On my xp compuer, if I want to connect without doing the setup (which I usually do, if I dont then it forces a push email account onto my phone if I sync), I have to hit the connect button in the activesync window. It flashes roms flawlessly, but disconnects often while file browsing. On my dads vista pc, it browses files perfectly but I have tried everything possible but cannot flash from it using wmdc. I would definitely try it on a different computer if I were you, your computer might just be acting funny
I just had the same problem and i tried all the fancy things you people are talking about.Its a manufacturing fault and needs warranty replacement of the board.noting else will work.

start the phone up in bootloader mode (powering on the phone with the volume -down pushed). The tricolor screen should come up with the word "serial" in blue in the white area. Then plug in the USB connector,that will tell yuou if your port is really bad. If not it will change "serial" to "USB"
Still if you haven't flashed it then send the thing in now, HTC honors warranties based on serial numbers so you don't have to deal with tmobile, but only if your phone is NOT hardspl'd or flashed with a third party custom ROM
I had the same problem on an htc diamond. It needed to go back and have the board replaced.
The fault is caused by connecting the phone to an in car charger and then starting the engine.
Took a while to happen.
Just upgraded from an S2 to an S3 and am having an issue with getting my S3 to connect to my PC that I previously had S2 drivers on.
I am having an issue however that I cant seem to figure out. When I connect my phone to my PC via USB cable it detects my phone for a few seconds, then trys to install drivers and then the connection disconnects and reconnects a few times a second. To the point where my PC is beeping all the time because it is recognizing a new device and on the notification tab on my S3, connected to PC flashes off an on. I have tried reinstalling drivers, booting the phone already plugged into pc, switching to camera mode, turning the pc and phone both off and starting together and none of these things help.
I did some searching and it appears that a few others have experienced this when upgrading from a different Samsung device, however even after going to device mgr and uninstalling those drivers I still have the same issues. I dont know if there are some drivers that are not displayed or something. I have tried a different cable with no avail. However when I connect my phone to a new PC that has never had a samsung device installed before it works with zero issues. Someone recommended using the Naked Drivers however I cant even get to the point to pick which driver to use before the device starts disconnecting and reconnecting on my PC several times a second.
Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks.

Hmm, try this. Dial ##3424#, tap on PDA, then Qualcomm USB Setting, tap on MTP+ADB, ok. See what happens now.
I'd swap out the USB cable and try a different port, if still not working then install Kies and let it run the connection diagnostics which has resolved this issue for me in the past.

I've had my One M8 for about 6 months and had no issues, until now. The phone is unrooted, and has never been altered in such a way.
About a week ago I noticed that when I connected my phone to the USB charger plug socket that it said "Slow Charging" in the status bar, however other than that everything seemed to be fine.
However, today I've connected the USB cable to my PC in order to copy some data, however the phone simply states that it's "slow charging" and does not recognise that it is connected to a PC. The PC does not show anything in device manager (not even an unknown device), and I have tried using multiple different drivers, USB cables, and even a completely different PC (a windows 7 one vs my windows 8.1 pc).
Whatever I've tried I cannot get the PC to even acknowledge that a device has been connected, even after twice factory resetting the phone.
Any ideas how I can get a PC to even recognise that there is something connected?
Thanks

Install HTC Sync. Run it to get the drivers, then uninstall HTC Sync.
Also try to give an update
when/if you fix it and what you did so those that view your thread can learn
I just purchased a mint condition Pixel 1 XL on ebay. It arrived with Android 9. I should have plugged it in then to check if USB file transfer mode would work. But I just assumed it would since I've never had a problem with any device in the past: various apple phones, samsung tablet, google nexus tablet.
So I updated the phone to Android 10 before I plugged the phone in, and then discovered it refuses to recognize my device for file transfer, only for charging. It does not show up in device manager at all, even though it is charging. The phone makes a sound to indicate it is charging, but it does not pop up with anything to ask if I want to connect to the PC. The phone 100% acts like I just plugged it into the wall instead of a PC.
OEM unlock is enabled.
USB debugging is enabled.
Default USB configuration is set to File Transfer mode.
I already installed the latest android_winusb driver.
I've rebooted both the phone and the PC.
I've tried plugging it into 3 different Windows 10 PCs with google android usb driver installed. Only one of those PCs has samsung android drivers installed on it. The others only ever had iphone plugged into them. So there shouldn't be any drivers interfering that I know of.
But no matter what, it only charges the device, it never recognizes it in device manager.
Since I bought this off ebay, it did not come with the official, original USB cable.
I'm praying maybe it's just the third-party USB cable causing the problem. But I can't find any cable that is verified to work for File Transfer. Do you know where I can buy a cable like this? Link please?
If it's not the cable, is there any way out of this situation? If I can't get device manager to recognize the phone, I think it's impossible to flash the phone back to Android 9 or something to see if Android 10 broke something???
I've already read some really scary posts online of other pixel phones of various models simply stop recognizing their phones in device manager and they never get it back. It becomes a fancy brick that works as a phone, but you can't actually do anything with it because no PC will recognize it.
I was excited to try a pixel phone for the first time until this happened. What the heck, Google?
Ok I think the stupid trick is you have to UNLOCK the phone BEFORE you plug it in. If you plug it in, and then unlock it, it will never give you a notification asking to connect to the PC no matter what you do.
As someone used to iphones, at least iphone says "unlock me" when I plug it in and it doesn't properly connect. But plenty of other times it will connect to device manager even if I don't unlock it.
Kinda annoyed Android doesn't say anything at all when you plug it in without unlocking it first.
