Galaxy S6 :: Why Laptop And Tablet Not Recognizing Phone
May 12, 2015
I never had trouble connecting my S4 to my old Dell laptop or my new Surface Pro 3. I'm trying to transfer my music to my new phone and neither device will recognize my phone. is there a setting I need to change?
I recently got new Xoom tablet from my senior and I connected it to my Win 7 - 32 bit laptop via a USB cable and it says the device drivers are not installed.I have tried:
1) Enabling USB debugging mode
2) Downloading motohelp drivers from your site the latest one.
3) Switch my tablet on and off and on
4) Restart my machine couple of times.
5) Tried on all the available USB slots on my laptop.
6) Updating drivers via Device Manager ->Update driver.
7) Followed all other solutions which are mentioned on forums and internet.It worked on my Win 7 64 bit in my office but not even getting detected on my IBM T461 Win 7 32 bit laptop.I used USB cable ofmy HTC desire smart phone both times.
What is the best method to transfer multiple files between a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 tablet and Galaxy S5 phone? I have lots of mp3 files on the tablet's SD card that I would like to transfer to the SD card of the phone.
When I connect both via USB cables to my Windows desktop, selection of source files and destination folder is easy, but some glitch often prevents all of the files from being transferred. I think it may be a timing issue with the connection, SD cards, or problem in cabling. Sometimes, Windows will not recognize both devices.
When I try to use Samsung SmartSwitch or SideSync with USB connected devices, I have a difficult time selecting the source files and target destination folder.
Using NFC doesn't seem to allow me to make the source file or destination folder selection I want. The file selection process seems to be "dumbed-down" based on standard file content type (music, video, pictures, documents, etc) and conventional destination locations in the device file structure rather than on the SD card.
my 3GS phone is displaying connect to iTunes message.how do i troubleshoot this? I tried connecting to my laptop and it is not recognizing the phone.tried restore and it didn't work.
I have just bought a new laptop and loaded the Blackberry Desktop Software but it will not connect to my blackberry.I can download my photos but nothing else, I have gone through the troubleshoot list but nothing seems to work - what am I doing wrong???
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
I have connected my phone with the USB and transferred my photos and music to my phone. Unfortunately, when I open the Gallery, I can't see any of the pictures that I know are there. I can see the files if I use My Files to browse. It is the same for my music.
I upgraded to a 64gb SD card, roughly two weeks ago, and I had several problems trying to transfer all of my music and pictures and whatnot over to it from my 32gb SD card...ended up losing a lot of them because of having to re-format the card (I have a memory card recovery program on my computer already, so losing things is not a concern at this point) .
HOWEVER, my phone fully recognized the 64gb card immediately, once I properly formatted it and whatnot, but only for like a day, then I started getting error notifications that the card was not properly inserted, or the phone was not reading it, etc...the card has been inserted into my phone for about 10 days at this point... a friend of mine also has the same phone as I do (s5) and it reads just fine, as does her card in my phone, so clearly it doesn't seem to be an issue with the card itself, or the card reader slot..since other cards are registering..?
Then there's also the issue of my battery randomly draining unusually fast the last few days...and this has only been happening over the last three days...I did go to Sprint two days ago and they "primed the battery" but it did not work at all (battery life went down from 87% to completely dead in less than 5 hours last evening)...
if it is possible to view photos that have been transferred from the phone to a laptop. I have wanted to transfer photos from my phone to my laptop but when I try to view the photos on my laptop it only shows the thumbnails so you have no way of knowing what the photos are? Just wondered if there is a way of fixing this or is the phone just not capable of doing this
I often use the Samsung calendar on my S5. But, for some reason when I open the Samsung calendar on my Note 10.1 tablet to view the entries I did thru my S5, nothing appears!!! I try hitting the sync button every time I enter something on my S5 calendar, assuming my tablet calendar will get updated too, but nope! I have no problems with the goggle calendar, but with the Samsung calendar I do. How can I view on my tablet Samsung calendar what I enter on my S5 calendar?
My AT&T LG G3 was dropped & the screen is cracked in multiple places. I can't even unlock it now. I'm expecting some important work related (I'm self employed so I really don't need to lose any jobs over this) texts & have heard my text notification go off more than once. I'm wondering if there's a way to view (& possibly respond) to my texts. Or is there an app I can download to my tablet so I could forward my calls & text to it until I'm able to get a replacement.
When I do a search on my Samsung Galaxy S5 it shows up on my search history on my Tablet. Since I share my Tablet at home I don't necessarily want what I search on my phone to show up on my tablet.
trying to transfer over contacts etc from iphone 5s to new Z5 using sony PC companion as recommended in user manual, but I keep getting ' phone/ tablet software information currently not accessible ', I also get ' no server found connect to internet'.
i've been using HTC ONE. "ONE" of the best phone till date i've ever used. Am completely happy with the performance and looks. But from last week it stoped charging and even when i connect it to my mac itz not reading ! I havn't even dropped it even once ! The only time it getz charged is when the battery is completely drained off and wen the mobile goes off by itself. And that time when i keep it for charging, it gets charged but the red light (charging notification) keepz blinking instead of being stable. So for past few dayz i've been charging the phone this way and have to wait for the battery to drain off completely and then keep it for charging. But still the usb is not reading wen i connect it to my mac.
I transferred about 2gb of music (mp3 format) from my PC to my HTC One's "Music" folder and when I check my phone's music player, there's nothing there. I tried a 3rd party music app, tried using media scanner apps, cleared cache for media storage, rebooted phone...no luck. Also tried HTC Sync Manager to copy the songs from there onto the phone and the songs still won't show up...s?
Before you guys attack me, yes I have searched the forum for an answer but everything ive read were back in 2007 with FW 1.xim on a 3gs and iphoto and image capture doesn't recognize my iphone. are there any fixes for this, please! I have some very meaningful pix that i would like to transfer over w/o restoring the phone. (or email to myself)
im having problems with my computer recognizing my blackberry 8330(boost mobile). the phone itself is connected to the computer properly and even when i go to the media manager it shows up. the problem is when i go to my computer( i am using vista btw) the computer doesn't exactly recognize the device, it just says removable disk (F now im not sure how but one time when i connected the phone to my computer a window appeared called "auto play" which gave me quick and easy access to my phone via different folders, but now when i connect the phone none of that happens. i would like to be able to connect my device to my computer and have that window (auto play) appear when i conenct my phone because it is easier for me to transfer my photo's/music etc.. how can i do this?
What can i do so my phone will accept my sd card. I tried different brands but after a week i must connect it, what means i must first format it. I lose all my music and photos what i have on it.
I have got a new phone and I would like to restore all the apps, music and photos etc from my old phone across to the new one. When I plug my new phone into itunes it doesn't seem to recognize the most recent back up but is finding one from October last year.
Today while I was running to make it into work and clock in on time my phone fell out my jacket pocket and now the media card isn't recognized by the phone. It's not showing up when I connect my phone to my computer either. Is there anything I can do to try and get it to be recognized again?
Out of nowhere my iphone is not being recognized by itunes but when it's connected it charges. Itunes does recognize my ipod so it can't be an issue with itunes or my usb cord right? I've tried resetting and restarting (I haven't restored) my iphone and its still not working. The iphone is jailbroken. So what do I do to fix this problem?
I would really appreciate some help.my battery ran out and when i went to charge it its saying cannot charge please insert a Sony ericsson battery but it is a Sony ericsson battery and its the one i got with the phone its just stopped working could someone please help
I recently had my phone fixed, but before hand I saved everything to my memory card. How when I go to my music and pictures, it says that there are none, even though they're on my memory card. How can I make it so that the pictures and music are in my media files?
