phone won't show up on My Computer when plugged in via USB

[gnr_2]

Belive me...I tried all types of drivers and nothing seems to help,not even cord switch,but i found a solution to this problem,and its way too simple and easy.When someone says "All you have to do..." he knows nothing about it and he missed the thread.
I belive i have found a solution because after my Firmware Update of Jelly Bean 4.2.2 my Telefunken tablet couldn't connect MASS Storage to PC...so i tried to reinstall my firmware so I turned it off and pressed "-"and "Switch button" and it switched on over safe mode...after i connected my USB cord it prompted me to turn on the Mass Storage...after i did it showed up on my PC!!!
!!!!Just switch on using "Safe mode" it works!!! Happy New Year!

Did you use safe mode on your PC or safe mode on your phone? I hate safe mode on the phone because when you go back all your widgets have been deleted and you have to set them all up again. It would be a pain to do that every time you needed to connect your phone to your computer.

I see this thread's ancient now, but as it's still turning up in the first few Google results for Android USB connection problems, I thought I'd add the solution that worked for me. I booted the phone in safe mode and enabled USB debugging.

Perfect!

I haven't checked yet, but I imagine it's still broken on regular boot. Going to root though, so...!

How exactly do I enable USB debugging?

The USB update from Jul 2014 did fix it for me. Going to Samsung's Web page and picking my phone was easy enough and the download took a minute the install slightly longer. Thank you.

I bough LenovoVibe X2-cu. I want to see my phone on my computer, when it is plugged in via USB, but i can not . I have no USB storage application. Please, i need help. What should i do with my phone?

 

[gnr_2]

Aramin, you should find the forum for your particular phone so that someone who is familiar with it can help you.

Dynia, to enable USB debugging, you first have to unlock developers options by tapping something 8 times. I'm just not sure what. I keep thinking it's the Android version but that just gives you the cute animation. You can Google "unlock developer options" to find out.

Turn on private mode in settings.

What to do if the "USB computer connection" thing in Storage gives a "USB is now disconnected" toast, even when it's charging from the USB port from my laptop?

When you connect can you see the USB symbol somewhere at the top? Sometimes it may function intermittently. Had the same issue with my phone. It was charging fine though. I cleaned around the usb connection port on phone. Used a toothpick to just pick around the connectors(didn't have any small tools or anything better). The bottom portion on the connectors is way too small so just used compressed air bottle to blow out a little. The top and sides used the toothpick to clean out the dust and dirt (there was lots on my phone). Take your time and clean gently around the usb connectors on phone.

Once I did this my phone is back to normal again.

If your phone is new and not dirty most likely software issues.

Hey! I tried this but my phone still doesn't show up as a separate drive. It used to work fine earlier though. I have Moto G1, and Dell Inspiron.
Could it be becaue I'm using my laptop in Safe Mode? Does it create a problem in connecting devices to your pc if it's in Safe Mode?

if you are using samsung go to ur device quick connect.

Thanks, *#0808# and selecting MTP + ADB did the trick!

I tried everything on my tmobile note 4 but nothing worked except this.

Awhile back I enabled developer options and after I unchecked usb debugging and rebooted the phone it would keep coming back.

I even went to app > settings > cleared cache which made the developer options disappear from the settings menu (by default developer options were hidden on my factory reset note 4).

I also tried wiping cache using volume up > home > power

For some strange reason, even though Windows properly installed the driver and detected the USB connection, the notification menu on my Note 4 would not appear for MTP.

My guess is I'm running older firmware that has a glitch (I don't want to update it for IMEI reasons).

So all I simply had to do for my Windows 7 x64 PC was download the tmobile drivers and dial *#0808# and select USB + ADB. Problem solved and thanks again!
