Ok, I have an ODD issues with trying to connect my Samsung NOTE 2 to my Windows 8 PC. It appears that every time I try to connect it to my PC as a MEDIA DEVICE, it is rarely recognized. However, if I switch to CAMERA mode, it picks it up right away and I can copy files to it.
However, for the phone to work with the KIES software from Samsung software, I need to connect as a Media Device. I was able to get it to connect a few times after doing the troubleshooting in KIES (where it downsloads the drivers AGAIN), but once I unplug and try to connect again, it NEVER works. I'm confused. I've tried pulling my SD card also, and that does not help.
I've tried mutliple USB cables (official and non), multiple USB ports, USB HUB, etc.
The odd thing is, it ALWAYS connects as a camera, so I know it is working. Although, when it is connected as a camera, sometimes it stops copying files as it loses connection.
Suggestions?
