USB adapter not working

**roberttk1967** · 02-06-2013, 04:41 AM

Is anyone having problems with the USB adapter. It seems since the update I can't get it to read any devices. When I plug it in it shows USB connected, but when i plug my cameras sd card in or anything else, i get nothing. It used to bring the file mamager, now nothing.

Any suggestions, is there a settting i am missing.

Thanks,

Robert

I have the same problem. If you re-boot the usb will be recognised but you'll have to do the same thing each time you plug in the usb stick!

Hey thanks that worked, a pain to have to reboot but at least it worked. Hope they fix this.

Thanks again.

I have the same issue. My adaptor is recognized when I first plug it in. The usb symbol then disappears and it will not recognize any flash drive I have tried (1,4,16, 32). In addition when I plug in the note to my pc (two separate ones) it is not recognized. I have searched and checked every forum and googled until the cows came home, tried every fix and still nothing! Any advice? Should I return for a new one?

What version of Windows? I know that, last I checked, Samsung Kies didn't work with Windows 8. Maybe it's more of the same... Some drivers aren't Windows 8 compatible yet.

If you're on Win7 - try to uninstall Kies, than delete the Kies folder under My Documents. Reboot PC and reinstall Kies

Read your reply and thought the same of being a pain to always have to shut off and restart to use the USB adapter. I had found an App called USB Watcher and when I restarted, this app opened and asked if it should be used when usb device is attached. I said yes and since then anytime I add the adapter it opens to the file and recognizes it without restart....Hope this helps.

Anyone else having this annoying problem? My phone used to detect my USB adapter and USB sticks no problem. All of a sudden now the stick isn't detected yet the USB adapter is detected. One out of every 10 times I try it the phone will also detect the USB stick and allow me to move files back and forth. I really don't wanna try factory reset and USB watcher requires rooting which I have not attempted yet.
