I own a Samsung S8 which I connect to my Windows 10 Pro laptop via USB. When first connecting your phone to your laptop the phone defaults to USB charging mode. This may be changed by opening your notifications on your phones home screen. You should find a message 'Android System USB charging' Select that message to change your option to 'transferring files' for example. If your phone still doesn't show up in Windows Explorer get back to us.

 

Problems Connecting Android Phones to Windows 10

HI all wasnt sure which area to post this in so hopefully this is ok.

I use my laptop mainly for djing and when I do I turn off the wifi as it interferes with the audio software.
therefore in order to download music on the fly I use an Android mobile phone (Pixel 2 or Samsung s7 Egde).

My issue is that when i connect the phone to the laptop via a micro usb to usb cable or usb c to usb cable the phone does NOT always display on the laptop and therefore I cannot transfer the contents to the laptop.

This happened at 1st with the Pixel 2 and i thought it was just the Pixel 2. Then it started happening yesterday with the Samsung.

I checked the USB configuration on the phone was set to MTP on both phones but still the phone will not diplay on the laptop.

Any ideas?

TIA Bart

 

Cell phone USB connection issues


Hello everyone.

As the title says, I'm having problems with USB connection issues between my Samsung Galaxy S4 cell phone and my Acer laptop. My phone is running Android 5 and my laptop Windows 10. When I connect my phone to my laptop, it often will connect and disconnect in rapid succession 4 or 5 times, or it will connect normally and then 3 minutes later lose connection. I've tried multiple USB ports, both 3.0 and 2.0, but it still happens.

Has anyone else had this issue? We you able to resolve it?

Thanks!

Eric
