Samsung Usb Device Not Recognized

[Suyay Escarsega]

TodayI went to plug my s22+ ultra into my PC for large file transfer, and after 2 hours of fidgeting, I could not figure out the issue. Do you have any suggestions before i do a final hard reset?

What I've done so far: Made sure cord is not the problem, and PC is not the problem as my wife's S22+ ultra connects via the same cord to my PC and functions properly.

I have gone as far as to enable developer settings in order to default the USB connection to file transfer, but to no avail. No matter which cord or port or computer I connect my S22+ ultra to, it is treated like a charging cable and the computer doesn't even acknowledge the connections.

yes, no effect. it seems that no matter what i Do my computer doesn't even know i'm connecting a device to it, whereas I can access my wife's through the file explorer, and device manager but see no effect to either when i plug in my Phone.

I dont really care to setup my phone through windows, as far as i can tell that doesn't add any useful features for myself, i just strictly want to be able to hardwire transfer data to my PC. Ive set the default settings to File transfer via Developer settings but again, PC doesnt even know a device is connected and phone treats it likeI'ive plugged it into a wall outlet. Ive tried usb 2.0 and 3.0 connections, samsung and offbrand cables, all only allow charging function and nothing via my PC. its like the firmware to recognize my phone specifically on the computer is corrupt, but since my wife's phone is the same model that doesn't actually make sense to me.

What version of Windows 10 do you have? There is a version of Windows 10 that will not allow such connections, no matter what. Even if you download the multimedia extensions, and the Samsung USB drivers, this version of Windows 10 will NOT allow android phones to connect for file transfers. I this it was like Windows 10 S or something to that end. One of the companies I worked for bought this as it is slightly cheaper, but causes issues like this...

As a side note, Samsung does not make an S22+ Ultra. They make the S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra. Combining all three into one device description makes it hard to determine exactly what device you have. It would be like going to McDonalds and ordering a McDouble quarter pounder with cheese.

Good news! I have had the same problems with trying to get the photos from my samsung fascinate to my macbook pro. I FINALLY got it! Using the Bluetooth pair the phone and the mac. Then FROM THE PHONE go to your gallery and select all the pictures you want to transfer. Click Share and choose bluetooth. Then from your mac it will ask if you want to accept these files.

FYI, you DO have to have Bluetooth sharing enabled in your system preferneces/sharing. The pics went to my download folder, imported them into iphone and whala! I have been working on this forever and am so excited to finally figure it out! Hope it helps all of you.

Try this since I have Galaxy Note and was trying to transfer photos and videos to my MacBook, it might help you if we have the same settings. First go to SETTINGS, then click WIRELESS AND NETWORK, then tick USB UTILITIES, then click CONNECT STORAGE TO PC once you have plugged USB to your laptop. Mac should be able to read USB after doing this. Go to Finder and you will see your USB device connected. Start copying your files from there! Hope this helps. =)

i just recently got a samsung note. Had the same issue with my mac recognising the external storage. Basically i think it's just a problem of the sequence it's done. I've tried multiple times and it works.

This may help you guys, Go to SETTINGS, Click WIRELESS and NETWORK, then click USB Utilities, make sure you plug your USB to your Mac then click CONNECT STORAGE TO PC. Then go to FINDER, Mac should be able to read your Samsung device. Btw, I am using Galaxy Note and MacBook. Hope this helps.

I did try the "unmount SD card" procedure suggested by SCGeordie, but that didn't work for me. Note that I still had the USB cable plugged in, the Samsung Galaxy asked me which USB connection, and I did select "Mass Storage". Unfortunately, the iMac never saw the Samsung.

I decided at this point to attempt Bluetooth, so I went to the top of the samsung screen, and enabled Bluetooth (USB cable still connected). At that point, the Samsung phone asked me if I wanted to mount the phone for storage transfer to the "PC". I hit mount, and it appeared on the Mac.

I had a similar issue with a usb jump drive when I was running VMWare fusion. I ejected the usb drive from VMWare and then forgot to eject from the iMac itself, and from that point on the iMac would not recognize the drive properly.

I completely powered down the iMac, removed all the power sources, waited 60 seconds (for all the caps in the computer to discharge) and powered it back up. It recognized the drive w/o problem after that.

I am also a Macuser and very happy with the Galaxy S, much better than a certain Apple-madeunit that can't make phone calls...!I do not "sync" with the phone asexperience of bilateral data transfer is usually a disaster waiting to happen,and you will not know what has been lost until you need it. For example, youcreate a new record on the device, and it is there not on the Mac. Should iSyncthen remove it off the device (lose the data) to match the records on the Mac?Although the answer is clear in theory, some "sync" softwares tend toget confused.

For the Address Book, I do the following:

1) Open Address Book and select the contacts Iwant, usually held in a group called "Phone" to make it easier.

2) Export the records as a "vcf"file. Save to the Desktop to make it easier.

3) Assuming your phone is paired, select the"Browse (your phone name)..." from the Bluetooth menu.

4) Send the "vcf" file to the phone.

5) On the phone, open "My Files"which is the built-in file manager to check the file has arrived and itslocation to remember for future.

6) Open Contacts and then delete all theexisting Contacts as you will be replacing them.

7) Select Import/Export and then select fromSD card.

8) Select your VCF file that you sent to thephone and job done.

For Notes and stuff, I keep a text file on theMac. This can be edited and sent to the phone in the same way. On the phone, Ican edit it and pull it back the same way such as with new contact names readyto put it the Mac. Can keep lots of files for different purposes, Reminders,Shopping Lists, To Do Lists, etc.

Similarly, for database stuff, I keep themaster on the Mac and "print to pdf" from the Print dialog box. Theresulting PDF is sent to the phone and opens in "PDF Reader" (freefrom Android Market). The built-in Adobe PDF Reader is fast but does not allowsearching. the "PDF Reader" allows searching. I have an 800 page PDFwith 3 records per page. It can search all 800 pages for some text in about 5seconds to reach the 800th page which is fast enough for my daily use and a lotquicker than trying to do SQL dumps etc.

Have not tried the iCal export but presume itwould follow the same process. Export from iCal as a vCal file, send to phone,and import into Calendar?

This may sound cumbersome, but it keeps datasafe, easily backed-up on your Mac, and it is a lot easier once you are used toit. If it was more complex, I would have created an AppleScript to do the gruntwork. It is actually easier to do it just from the above steps.

Hope it helps, and from what I gather, you andI are the only Mac people here!

I have principally used the Arlo Secure App with my Android Samsung S8 without difficulty for at least a couple of years. No issues with my laptop either which hasn't changed since I began using Arlo Secure. I haven't logged into my cameras via my laptop in a while. Upgraded my Samsung S8 to an S23 on 10/22/2023. I updated the Android OS and downloaded a fresh copy of Arlo Secure at the Google Play Store. Arlo Secure was given notifications permission.

Arlo Secure accepted my logon credentials on the Samsung S23 but didn't recognize my device. Message reported that it was sending a notification but none was received. When clicking "Try another verification method" the continue button is greyed out which means there is NO other verification method.

I then tried Arlo Secure with my laptop. I successfully logged into Arlo Secure but it also doesn't recognize my laptop either. No notifications are received on the S23. Unable to use another verification method there either. I'm faced with a situation where Arlo Secure doesn't trust any of my devices and I'm locked out completely.

I've looked at previous support articles about this issue (and there are several) but I haven't seen any any that worked for me. If an Arlo support article exists with a solution that i've missed would someone kindly answer with the link. And finally because Arlo Secure won't recognize my Samsung S23 I am completely unable to get personalized support for this issue.

I solved my own problem. Arlo Secure will only connect with a "trusted" device. Upgrade or otherwise change your smart phone and you have a problem. Arlo Secure will accept your logon credentials on your new smart phone but that's not enough to trust the new device; it needs a second means of verification outside the new phone. So push notification is useless.
