If the USB icon doesn't appear, then the cable or the port might be faulty. Try a different cable. Also, do you have an A3 as well?
I'm having exactly the same issue.
samsung A3
tried genuine cable
tried new cable
I have the Latest update
The USB or MTP icon is not there. In fact, running a system search, the MTP (media Device connector) application is no longer packaged with the latest update, which would explain why so many people are having this issue.
this needs to be fixed - Who needs to know? How can we push this through - its obvious that more than enough people are affected to push out a hotfix.
The issue is annoying, but not a show stopper - At the moment, to transfer files, I'm having to copy to SD and then fiddle about removing the SD card and putting it in the PC.
