[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revized:
this is crazy, i aint going to go too loco on it though , i just wanted to add my 2 cents, on my pc xp 64bit i7-2600 i installed every driver imaginable (never messed with kies though, they are not installed) and i can use cdma-workshop but never ever see sd card it wont show up as mtp device only mtp camera option shows up. for now i dont care all i want to make sure i can use cdma-ws until my phone is programed right(long story-still waiting)

BUT this is funny on my sons xp 32bit the phone shows up as mtp device and i can see the files only if i click view files when the mini explorer window pops up (once that window is closed then i cannot see the phone again in my computer i have to unplug it and back in again) then the address bar shows location is mycomputer/sph-L710/---> 2 files to chose "phone or card" i can see all the files on my internal memory and sd card although NONE will copy to my computer oit shows the little plus sign but wont i even installed androidzip and zipped the file and then opened winrar on my pc and cant find the phone with my windows explorer browser cuz its not on my computer, i must take the sd card out and put it into a adapter to put files on my pc.

so much for what (at least i thought was) a very simple task for a phone to do. connect to a computer to transfer files!LOL

Hi all,

I got S3 as xmas present and the phone is great. Like it much more than iphone 4s so far.

However this problem - PC doesnt see the phone - was driving me crazy. I tried most things posted in this and other forums but nothing helped.

So in this desperation I was plugging in/out 1001s time USB cable out/into my laptop, when i suddenly heard those "usb connected" sounds from the phone and from laptop for a brief second. What is going on here I thought and started to play with usb cable (by the way new one, from the phone box) in the usb connector of latop (new one, just month old so there is never a problem in it ). And finally I was able to find a spot at what laptop saw the device and the phone connected all right. Its not a coinicidence and I still have exactly the same problem as discussed in this thread if I plug the connector fully into usb plufg of laptop. And I can "fix" the problem by slightly unplugging the connector. Same with both usb ports of my laptop.

The spot is somewhere "connector is 4/5th inside" if anyone wants to try it. Maybe this will also help to other people having the problem.

I tried everything mentioned in these forum topic, nothing works. My SIII is the 32GB one, and I tried connecting it to a Win XP and a Win 7 64bit computer with various drivers, various cables, various ports... nothing works. I'm almost convinced that I have a hardware problem. On the XP computer the message is always USB device not recognized, device mulfunctioned ... and it shows as Unknown Device under Device Manager

Cables: I used htc one, samsung one, logitech harmony one, blackberry one....

USB: Ports I used multiple both on Desktop (Win 7) and Laptop (Win XP)

Drivers: installed / uninstalled multiple times, multiple versions, rebooted computers multiple times, used KIES drivers, used standalone samsung drivers

Phone (JB4.1.2) not rooted / stock: restarted multiple times, did a hard reset, took out the battery for minutes, restarted while plugged in, while not etc. entered the Phone Application menu and tried various options, tried the usb debugging ticked / unticked...

Weird as if my memory serves me well, the phone used to work on my home computer when I got it before KIES / Firmware updates.

Any help from anyone would HIGHLY BE APPRECIATED

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revized:
what for ? thats not the fix , besides how to you flash another when you cant even transfer files necessary to to even root your device :p because "Samsung Galaxy S3 not recognized (with drivers)" remember the title of this thread??? or you say you not!

okay i tried to install kies on my xp 64bit and at first it wasnt connecting and i ran the trouble shooter and it said i had to install window media player so i did and rebooted and then the phone is reconizied connect to usb (havent tried wireless yet) and i can now see the little explorer window and i click view files and even though i unmounted my sd card before i did all this and it shows up as still unmounted , the little view files window or click my computer shows my device under other "SPH-L710 and type is "portable media player" and when i view files/click phone it "ONLY" shows my sd card and not my internal memory! this is crazy i need to access my internal memory so i can transfer the ----->update

now here is where things get wild , upon clicking remounting sd card in my computer the device shows 2 files "card and phone"( i thought for a quick secon success!.lol. although they both list the same exact files and they are both showing only the files that are on the sd card i think due to the fact that i double checked with air droid and the internal memory has files in it like this

------------------------

->sd card

->system

>acct

cache

config

d

data

>dev

efs

>etc

firmware

>mnt

....

>sdcard

storage

sys

system

----------------------------none of these files are shown in my My Computer\SPH-L710\Phone :cry:

this is getting a bit outta control , and as before i cannot drag and drop/upload files into my internal memory using says network failure

My s3 was working well till about 2 days back...

I installed and uninstalled carbon backup app.. and after that my computer just won't recognize my S3.

Have tried all steps posted in this thread.. none worked.

is the only option to reset the phone? (I don't want to do that...)

Anything that can be done with adb commands?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MNYINTHEBNK:
Omg!! Finally solved the issue!!

OK,

TRUST ME - THIS ANNOYED THE HELL OUT OF ME TRYING TO FIGURE OUT!! TO ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE USING JUST ANY USB CABLE TO ATTACH IT TO YOUR COMPUTER AND ITS NOT READING IT, USE THE USB CABLE PROVIDED WITH THE S3!!! I SPENT ALL THIS TIME TRYING TO FIX THIS THIS ISSUE AND THE VERY FIRST TIME I USED THE ACTUAL S3 USB TO CONNECT IT TO MY LAPTOP, IT WORKED!! Hope that helps!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RascalDoc:
My s3 is not recognizes by my PC but is by my lady's laptop. So i wonder how much that aaplies. Same cable in both instances.

On the other side.... My buddies WD portable drive couldn't be read from my outer until I tried with the wdcable- weird.....

My phone was connecting fine and being detected until a day ago it randomly stopped being detected by windows.

Fixed it by simply restarting the phone.

i.e. power button > restart.

WOW I actually tried a different cable from the original Samsung one, A Motorola one & my computer now recognizes my phone!!!!!!

I was just about to go back to the shop & complain! It just goes to prove eh?? Even if you are using the original Samsung USB cable just, if you can, try another cable because it could be that!!!! Crazy I know..

I was having the same problem. I was getting an error code when trying to put in the IMEI code. I ended up pulling the SIM card, ext sd card and rebooted with it plugged into the computer and that did the trick!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allex_K9:
Hi, I just wanted to share the solution which helped me connect my phone in case it helps someone too :)

1. Settings

2. select Storage

3. click on the option button (possibly on the upper right : the icon with 3 points)

4. a menu appears : USB computer connection, click it

5.You can now select your prefered method for transferring files.

I've probably accidentally untick the MTP option. Nothing helped me which was mentioned before. So just in case anybody has similar problem.. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talmordaniel:
Solution for "pc wont recognzie android"

1st step: make sure you enabled the "developer options"- this can be done by going to settings-about phone- press multiple time on "Build number" until you get a msg that development settings enabled

2nd step: Go to: system settings-Developer options- put V on USB debugging & USB debugging notify & Verify apps over USB

That it,

it worked for me.

Good luck!

I've read a lot within the HTC inspire section, and from there I've rooted the phone (I see I have super user in my drawer) but from here I'm looking for a sense 4.0 ROM that I can install. The instructions are very overwhelming. Is there someone who could please give me easy instructions on how to install a ROM? Thank you.

No one is gonna spoon feed this to you. this is about development and learning. if you are too lazy to spend time and learn than this is probably too much for you and you should stay stock. people stop thinking rom flashing is the 'in thing' to do because you have an android phone and you googled 'cool hacks for android'

[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
Flashing your first ROM:

-Download the ROM of your choice from the dev section

-Do not unpack/unzip the ROM

-Copy the ROM to the root of your sd card (Root= not in a folder)

-(optional) Backup your apps using Titanium Backup.(this only applies once you have root)

-Create a backup of your current ROM using rom manager.(this only applies once you have root)

-Boot your phone into recovery using either rom manager, or by booting into h-boot (to do this you are going to need to turn fastboot off by going to settings>applications>uncheck fast boot, then turn your phone off and turn it back on pressing both power+volume down, until the h-boot menu appears. Use the volume buttons to scroll down to recovery then press power to select.)

-Using the volume buttons scroll down to to down to wipe data/factory reset. (unless you are upgrading, THIS STEP IS NOT OPTIONAL!)

-Press the power button to select.

-Use the volume buttons to scroll down to YES-- delete all user data, use the power button to select.

-Scroll down to Advanced press power to select.

-Scroll to Wipe Dalvik Cache press power to select.

-Go down to Yes-- Wipe Dalvik Cache use the power button to select.

-Select go back

-Go to Install zip from sdcard and select it using the power button.

-Select choose zip from sdcard.

-Scroll down and find the ROM you wish to flash press the power button to select it.

-Select Yes - Install (roms name))

-You are now flashing a rom!

-Once the rom has finished flashing select reboot system now.

Things to note:

-Your first boot might take a few minutes do to deodexing and zip align.

-If your phone keeps cycling the HTC (white screen) you are going to need to go back to recovery, do a full wipe, and reflash the rom.

-Be sure to read the devs full instructions and faq before flashing!

Welcome to XDA and enjoy the learning my advice start to learn how to flash roms with 4ext its the latest and easiest way but for now the heres your first lesson.

Why are you people so mean? I started by saying I read a lot! I DID READ and after reading it became overwhelming. I am sorry that the first few of you were bothered by my post. It probably would have been better served if you simply had not said anything. Try helping next time and not being so rude.

Reinaldo33897Thank you. This has focused me in on one area, this is all I needed. My gus=ess is you use this phone. I have had this since ne from AT&T expecting Android 4.0 to be available for the phone (or so the salesrep then said it would:() In your opnion, what is the best,or the one, that you are using?

This is why:

FORUM RULES

1. Search before posting.

Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

You agreed with the rules when u signed in. You come in here asking things that were answered many times. This is a development site and not Android 101. So, before whinning just check the rules and the threads. You might suprised of the power of the search buttom.

Besides, if you are overwhelmed by reading, how are you going to be if something goes wrong and u mess your phone? That is why u need to read...to be sure what u are about to. I was a noob (actually still am), but learnt to read and search...and take enough time to learn what to do and how....just a piece of advise....:good:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
There are some really great roms out there. We can also use the desire HD roms as well so we are not limited to just the inspire devs. If you want to try an awesome ICS rom give IceColdSandwich 8.1.1 a shot ver at DesireHD

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1450962

Just one thing ICS is not officially released so the customs have a few bugs one being video cam not working but until the official release is out for the devs to gt the source codes we have to deal with it if we want ICS now. Gingerbread roms are solid.

There is also aospx here by exists as wll as roms Redemption and Melchizedek but these are No Sense ICS roms.

If you want to stick with sense try Android Revolution 9.04 as well as Coredroid they are very solid Gingerbread roms.

Once you learn to flash roms and feel comfortable with it try a few on for size and see what works best for you. What may be great with one person may be totally hated by another. Flashing is simple and cant really hurt once you feel comfortable.

Just one WARNING flashing radios are dangerous waters with the psibility of bricking the phone I would truly learn and learn more before you attempt that game. I dont bother cause radios are based on your region and where your located. Even if a dev says his rom works best with so-so radio I dont bother cause the dev may be in another country and Im in USA and the radio may not work. Tried it and got crap for service so now I stick with the stock radio that came with phone. Well sorry to write a book but enjoy we are here to help each other and the worse thing I hate is seeing someone turn their $400 into a paperweight.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ai6908:
I know it's confusing even for people like me who has been here to find a proper guide to install a (custom) ROM! I am assuming you do want to install a custom ROM! Basic steps are below:

First and foremost is to Root and S-off your device

You also will need a recovery. I use 4ext, and it works wonderful

Then go to the custom ROM you like, download and look for installation instructions

Put the zip file in the root of the SD card

Once you install recovery, then reboot to recovery and pick install from zip, and pick the custom ROM zip file you put at the root of your SD card

Also read through WIKI http://xdaforums.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_HD, although some information is old, it do have lot of resources.

BTW, there is no such thing as best custom ROM, it all depends on what apps you use with and where you live. Best bet is to flash a ROM a day, and see what you like! Good luck.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kellsizzle88:
The information was greatly appreciated. I have moved on and flashed. I did in fact only get it done today.... So even w/ excellent info, reading WAS still important. It is a nerve-racking endeavor :eek: but the end result is great:)

[Nexus 7 General] Brad387:
In my entire phone history, I have only ever owned and used 2 Android devices - the HTC Desire (with its awful amount of storage) and now the Samsung Galaxy Note. My Note is a fantastic behemoth of a phone, and perhaps even a tablet, but the Nexus 7 still appeals to me. As I like to not waste battery life of my phone, I'm not in a position to always use it heavily as I may need it to last the rest of the day rather than have it burn out after five hours of film watching in the morning. A tablet sounds appealing since I feel I no longer need a laptop besides for the occasional piece of homework where I shall need a keyboard and spend the majority of my time just on Facebook, the XDA forums, Blogger, YouTube and other basic web services. So, do you think the Nexus 7 is any good for me?
[Nexus 7 General] Nospin:
I think so, the only concern you should have is whether the small screen size jump justifies a new device. If you are fine with owning a 5in and 7in device, this seems like a nice product to do all your browsing on so you are not sucking the phone dry.
[Nexus 7 General] Brad387:
The screen jump size is pretty minimal and, in my mind, I find it hard to justify. Whilst I don't take my phone to school, however, I do like for it to last the day and giving it the intense usage of a tablet it just won't manage that. I brought the Note to purposely save the cost of a tablet also, yet this Nexus 7 seems an absolute bargain with pretty good specification. Plus, I suspect it'll have some great support and the idea of a pure Google experience interests me.

Also, is it possible to have multiple user profiles through different Google accounts on Android? As my family and I may split the costs, yet we wouldn't want each other accessing our Google accounts.
[Nexus 7 General] Brad387:
Do you think the extra 8GB to 16GB is worth the extra £41 GBP or so?
[Nexus 7 General] ky0nkyon:
Just wait till the end of July, hold it in your hands and decide for yourself and live with no regrets.

[Nexus 7 General] Brad387:
But, how will I be able to hold it in my hands? Is it going to be available in shops?
[Nexus 7 General] Jordanooo:
I'd say yes
[Nexus 7 General] Brad387:
I'm going to hold off on it for now. I don't really have the money and 2 inches isn't enough to warrant another device. My Galaxy Note is pretty great...
[Nexus 7 General] trud9340:
I was also curious about the mulitple profiles idea. It would be great if my wife and I could have different profiles that store credentials, bookmarks, favorite apps, etc. Anyone have insight on this?
[Nexus 7 General] Brad387:
I'd love for Google to implement this themselves on tablet versions of Jelly Bean, as in my opinion tablets are a device used by more than one person unlike a phone. Yet, if I were to buy a tablet, I'd feel uncomfortable letting my family use it cause I don't want them accessing my YouTube, Gmail and all my accounts that are tied to the tab.
[Nexus 7 General] Brad387:
Do people here think it is worth it or not?
[Nexus 7 General] ky0nkyon:
It'll be in shops a week after preordered units are shipped out according to some sources. They say just the 16gb though as the 8gb will only be available in the play store

My life for Aiur
[Nexus 7 General] Brad387:
Okay. Still can't decide whether to buy this or not. I could just install Paranoid Android, which will allow me to run apps in tablet or phone mode, onto my Note and then there would be just 2 inches screen difference. Yet, a pure Google experience without the risk of flashing and the latest Android version all seems really appealing to me. I suppose it'll take me a while to safe up the cash anyway, which will give me time to think.
[Nexus 7 General] thebobp:
I think the size difference is too small to be worth it. Plus the 8-16 GB limitation. You already have a device that can pretty much double up as a tablet for all the things you posted about. Just get an extra battery (and/or the 5400 mah one) and you'll be good to go.
[Nexus 7 General] Brad387:
I think so too. I'm looking into Paranoid Android, which will allow me to actually run tablet apps. Hopefully that'll help a bit. On a side note, do you think there'll be much of a performance difference between the Nexus 7 and Note?

Note has dual-core clocked at 1.4Ghz.

Nexus 7 has quad-core clocked at 1.3Ghz.
[Nexus 7 General] Vertron:
Try an app called "app lock", it's really useful for stopping people accessing apps with your personal info when you let them borrow your phone/tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] thebobp:
The difference will be massive (from what i've heard) because of jellybean's "project butter". So the question is when the devs make jellybean available for you.

I am not sure whether I "need" one either. I already have a MacBook Pro, a SGS2 and a iPad 3 wifi only. Any idea what I should do, I really want one to experience some Jelly Bean!
[Nexus 7 General] Meaple:
The question is, do you use your iPad often? If not then what's the point? I'm pretty sure that sooner or later (if not already) there will be a port of Jelly Bean for you SGS2.

If you really want it that bad for no reason, why not just sell you iPad then buy the Nexus 7. You'll be gaining money too that way :P
