Connecting Phone To Computer Problem

[ViralGold]

Hey Fellow Android Addicts,

Yesterday my friend came to my house so i could put some music onto his phone for him but the computer wouldn't recognise his phone. So i checked with mine and the same thing happened but i got a pop up at the bottom of the screen......



Anyone know why this is happening and how i can rectify it please?

I transfer media between my computer and phone quite a lot so this is a bit of a problem

All help appreciated thx

I would check on the Samsung device website and see if they have updated drivers for it, is it a USA model device, did he buy it here, I have seen that before on a device purchased from China and it was not original, but I would check the Samsung website for updated drivers first.


I also found this doing a search see below:

Just so everyone knows, the way i fixed this was very simple.

1. Uninstall Kies and All Drivers
2. Reboot Into Recovery (If Roooted)
3. Wipe Cache and Dalvik
4. Fix Permissions
5. Install LG8 Rom (rom installer from UpdateMe)
6. Reboot Phone
7. Disconnect From Internet (PC/MAC)
8. Re-Install Kies
9. Connect Phone to PC/MAC
10. Let Phone Install Drivers Again with Kies
11. Should Be Good-to-Go

Or this below:

1
-On Control Panel go to Programs and Features find Samsung mobile USB drivers and uninstall it, conect phone on PC via USB cable and wait for drivers to install.
or
2
-Use Kies and klik Troubleshoot problems with connectivity

That should solve the problem

Thanks for your replay DonB.

It is a UK Vodafone SG3.

I don't have Kies on my phone or computer, my phone is rooted but i don't have a rom on it, rooted for permissions and apps etc not roms.

I have to go out now but i will try what you listed later when i return and update you on what happened.

Thx again m8
