Galaxy S6 :: Can't Connect Through USB With Mac
Jun 5, 2015
I've tried android file transfer, kies, smart switch, and none of them work for me. I'm not really sure what to do. My phone acts like it is going to connect to AFT, but it ultimately fails. It will say no android device found, can't connect to android device, etc. But very rarely it will actually connect correctly, but after 20 seconds it will disconnect without me doing anything. While my phone is connected to my mac AFT continuously tries to connect to the phone, the app keeps opening after I exit it (after it fails).
I've tried connecting to two different macs, and both of them have the issue with my phone. My phone does successfully charge with usb, so that is working. It just isn't being correctly connected for transfer, and whatever else.

I have a desktop cradle that I put my phone on at work. I have the USB cable from it plugged into my PC. This is nice, because it slowly charges all day, and if I want to share files between my phone and PC, they're connected.
At least, that's how it was with my S4.
With the S6, all I see in Windows Explorer is the S6 listed under my C drive. When I click on it, it's blank. Well, at least once or twice, I've seen "Phone" under there and could then drill into the folders of the internal storage. But I don't understand why that only happened once or twice and why I can't get it to happen again.

I love my new S6 but I have an annoying bug, it won't connect automatically to my BT device in my car when I use any car app, the samsung one or any third party app.

I recently moved into my friend's place and have tried connecting to our netgear wifi, however when searching through the available wifi list it says this network is "not in range." I am standing right next to the router so I do not understand why this is happening but I desperately need to get this solution resolved asap. Any input on how I can connect to this wifi? I've tried the obvious method of unplugging it and rebooting, but that didn't do anything. I can connect on my laptop just fine, however my S5 will not even recognize it as a viable option.
There is a picture on the router that has a lock on top of a signal, however I cannot seem to turn this off. I do not know if this is the culprit. When I try to turn it off (by clicking it or holding down the button) it merely starts blinking, however I cannot get the light pertaining to this button to turn off entirely.

I was using my wi-fi without any trouble on holiday but now I'm home it will not connect. It sees the wi-fi signal does not seem to connect properly. I've tried re-registering but when it tries to connect the phone goes into a loop giving these messages:Authenticating . . . | Save, secured with WPA/WPA2 | Obtaining IP address . . . | Athenticating . . . etc.

When I get in my car, my Galaxy S5 dialogue box indicates the car radio wants to obtain information such as contacts. It continues to add the box "do not ask again". If I answer okay and check the yes to not asking again, will it automatically connect each time?

I'm currently overseas trying to get data to work on my unlocked/unrooted S5. I'm able to use a Jamaica Digicel chip in my phone to make and receive calls and text, but can't connect to data, unless using wifi.

I'm sure the title set off a few noob alarms Everything I've read online says USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. I recently bought a pair of Anker micro USB 3.0 cables from Amazon UK (can't post a link). When I use these to try to connect my Samsung S5 to my computers, I get mixed results.
On my desktop: plugging into a USB 3.0 port on the motherboard works fine. The USB front panel of my case is USB 2.0 only. Plugging the phone into these ports using the Anker cable results in the phone only charging, Windows does see it. These ports work fine with the phone if I use a micro USB 2.0 cable.
On my laptop, all the ports as USB 2.0. Plugging the phone into the standard ports results in the phone only charging, Linux does mount the phone. However, plug the phone into the yellow "always on" port and my phone is detected.Do I have duff cable, duff phone or there some odd incompatibility here?

How do I connect an S2 to a laptop without a SIM?
No SIM yet I can already transfer photos , phone book data etc with Kies on home wifi, but that's different. I'm going abroad so want to be able to communicate between the two without a sim.
I tried to make the phone a hotspot but it won't because there's no sim.

i have seen movies on Internet about connecting a usb stck to a samsung galaxy s 2 phone. as far as i can se you need a usb micro b male to a usb a female adaptor. however when i connect the adaptor to my phone nothing happens. whereas acc. to the Internet movie "samsung galaxy s2 usb otg demo " of nztechfreak you should see a usb host cable connected message in the host tray. however i don't get such a message. when i then connect my 40 gb lacie mini disk (which as far as i know works as a general usb stick) i won't be able to find that also. i also checked on my computer and it is formatted. i also tried with a real (8 gb ) usb stick, same problem.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and am trying to connect it to my TalkTalk Broadband. I am not technical. My IPAD,Dell,TV, HTC,PC all connect without problems to the Router (DSL 2780) and without me having to make any adjustments. The SGS2 however, refuses to connect to the Router - yes, I have checked the Router passwords etc.. I just get " Authentication Error" message. I was able to connect the SSG2 to a Hot Spot I created on the HTC phone - so, the phone is obviously ok. There must be a problem with the settings on the Router - however, all other devices connect without a problem.

The title pretty much sums it all, it won't connect at all. Driver or no driver, oem cable or not and stock rom or not. Can't even ADB in.But ! It does work on my laptop (without drivers), so it's not a faulty device. Both my laptop and desktop computers are running Win 8.1

For two months my s6 had no problem.Like any normal smartphones it would connect to pc and can use for data transfer. Yesterday when i connected my s6 to pc it said just cable charging. I removed and connected the cable several times but no luck .Now when i connect my phone to fast charging adapter which came with the s6 ...it says cable charging and takes 1hour 40 mins...Actually it would take only 1hour 20mins. When i connect otg usb (Strontium Nitro 16gb otg usb) nothing happens. It shows only device storage...

I have a new S6 on Verizon and am trying to connect to the WiFi network at my office. I'm able to connect to the WiFi at my home, but that's the only other one I've tried.
The WiFi at work uses a dual-step authentication, where you connect to the WiFi and then browse to an internet site, where you are first directed to a page where I must accept their Terms & Conditions. However, this page is never shown on my phone - the browser just said there is no network.
In fact, when I click on Connect on the WiFi entry for my office network, it says "Connecting..." and then nothing. No WiFi icon in the status bar or any error is shown.
I've shown this to our IT folks and they have no answer - they simply state that everyone else is able to connect (although I have the only S6 it seems).
I've read through the WiFi troubleshooting guide I've seen in other posts, but nothing seemed to work.
I've rebooted the phone, "forgot" the wifi and re-created it - nothing works.
The phone is running Android 5.1.1
I've contacted Verizon support and they suggested that I do a factory reset on the phone, but I hate to go to such an extreme step. Is there any way I can debug the issue to determine why it is not connecting on the WiFi?
