the only laptop I own that sees it as a 2.0 device is my i5 sony
my x61t and desktop for some reason wont detect the tab 2 as a 2.0 and tells me to plug into a 2.0 usb port even though they are all 2.0 ports and other devices are read fine
whats wrong with the tab? did samsung screw the pooch and put incorrect id markers for older chipsets? I can't be the only one with this issue

It's not the tab, its the usb hub/controller in the laptop.
why is that? as all my other 2.0 devices work fine in my desktop and laptop. except for the Tab 2.0?
if it was the hub than when i plug in any other 2.0 it should say the same but it doesnt
I have no issues on my desktop or any of my laptops
Works fine on my desktop and new laptop. I'd also say that it is likely the USB hub/controller that you're using. Try plugging it into a different USB port. If that doesn't work, then try a different cable as I've had some cables do funny things with my phone before.
Yeah I've had different cables do weird things on my tab and infuse.
dift cables do the same thing. it has to be something with the tab and the pid's used by samsung. anyone else have a x61t , dift usb ports do nothing dift, it wont read the port correctly so it has to be the samsung driver or tablet pid for older chipsets

If it were the tablet, then it wouldn't show up as a USB 2.0 device anywhere. It is something specific to the laptop you're using.
not true it is more likey the pid that the driver uses with the older chipset, otherwise no other 2.0 devices would work.
Samsund did something to the tablet that when it detects a older chipset it wont run
Did you install the Samsung drivers or just plug it in to you machine? My Tab 2 was doing the same thing and then I installed the Samsung USB drivers and it the error went away.
Not sure if that will help or not but give it a try.
i installed the kies software that has the drivers in it.
where are the usb drivers
and i noticed that if its turned off when i plug it in and power it up , it reads as a usb 2.0 device

It is an issue with the USB hub in the computer. The device does not identify itself as something different based on what it sees it is connected to. If it detects that it is hooked up to a computer, it will also send the same USB id. Your computer is what determines if the device is a USB 1.x/2.0/3.0 device, and at what speed it can operate at. My old computer did the same thing with my phones.
I wish I had seen this sooner, I was doing file transfers on 1.x and it was REALLY slow.

I had the same issue. If I used the usb slots on the front of my PC, it wouldn't run 2.0.
I plugged into the back of the pc, into the mobo direct and no issues. No other device has had this issue.

Hi,
I have for two days tried getting my PC to recognize my SGS2. With no luck. I want to ROOT my phone.
I am using Windows 7 64-bit and gingerbread v2.3.5
- USB-debugging is turned OFF.
- I have tried to format the SD-card, even used different SD-cards.
- I have tried using another PC, with no luck.
- Tried diffrent versions of Kies; 1.5, 2.0, and 2.1
- Tried diffrent versions of the Samsung Mobile driver; 1.3 and 1.4.8
- Tried using a different USB-cable (the one I'm using, is original and i can see that my phone is charging.)
- I have formatted the phone several times.
- I have tried typing *#7284# and changes the USB setting from Modem -> PDA
- Windows Drivers are up-to-date.
- I cannot see anything in the Device manager.
What else is there to do? Is something wrong with my phone?
Is there any APK, besides from Gingerbreak, that i can use to root my phone?
Cheers
Could you tried it in another PC with Windows XP?
When you plug it in to the USB port... Does the phone start to charge up?
Sounds like a hardware issue, i too have Windows 7 X64 on my laptop and no such problems.
Give a shot with USB debugging to ON.

I had the same problem.
This may sound stupid, but it does work, try another USB port.
I just plugged my USB cable into either one of the front USB ports on my PC (WinXP) and sometimes the phone connected (Debugging ON: phone was an external hard drive. Debugging OFF: phone connected to KIES) and other times it didn't. I tried toggling the Debugging, switching off and on the phone, changing USB cables, uninstalling KIES and then reinstalling KIES.
I finally noticed that the phone worked fine on the front left USB port and not on the front right. I have the same thing happening on my work's PC (only it was the front right port that worked). The rear USB ports didn't work.
I doubt that it is a problem with the PC operating system (I found out later that someone with a Mac had the same problem). It therefore must be with the phone's software recognising a connection with a computer and only wanting to connect through that initial connection port.

ive noticed this problem too of it only working with certain usb ports and not others on the same pc. Quite annoying when i was trying to use my phone to transfer some files from another computer and the phone wasnt picked up by the computer.
I think it may have something to do with using MTP rather than standard USB mass storage.
Never plug your phone or any other usb powered device into your front USB ports. most of them do not supply full power. As a matter of practice you should always plug your phone into a direct motherboard USB port on the back of your computer.
I had the same problem with my front ports several times on several computers. My first galaxy S1 would not work on my front port either. all problems were solved by plugging into the direct motherboard usb ports.
Why would you turn USB debugging off?

Do you have Administrator rights?
try installing drivers manually on your pc
and then plug the phone ( usb debugging off )
Try 32bit system
Try using a 32bit XP or 7 PC someone I know had the same problem their Win 7 never gave the problem when flashing or connection with their SGS2 for over 6 months. And just the other day they had a problem so they used a XP 32 bit PC connect ok flashed ok once the phone was rebooted they connect to their Win 7 64bit and the PC saw their handset. So what gives

I have plugged in many different phones and other devices that take their power from the Front USB ports on my PC. Power has never been a problem. Recognising a device can sometimes be a problem (but the same problem happens with the rear USB ports).
I regularly charge my SGSII via the Front USB port of my PC (both work and home). Quite a few of my workmates now do the same because a spare microUSB cable is much cheaper than a good mains charger and also they can back up their phone and transfer files as well.
This worked for me
1. Unplug the USB cable
2. On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284# Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode. The good mode should be PDA. Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.
3. Plug the USB cable.
Sometimes if you're not using the cord that came with the phone it won't recognize the phone
I had the same problem with my phone but I found the cord the phone came with and it solved the problem

I have just installed SiyahKernel 2.3 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits did not recognize my SGS2.
What I did is turn on and then turn off the "USB debug" option. It was off at the beginning but... I did that just in case and...
That solved my problem.
Similar issue
My phone charges when plugged in but won't mount. It worked fine until about a month ago.
I'd similar problem.
My SGS2 couldn't be connected to PC (Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit) by USB cable, but it could be connected via Wi-Fi. I found out, that my, however original, USB cable was faulty (could only supply a juice from USB port ). When I used my wife's cable (she's got SGS2 too), everything was fine: my phone connected to PC, Kies v.2.1.0.11112_41 checked firmware and wanted to update, but couldn't do it, because battery was almost flat - I'm charging it now.
Will see tomorrow, however I was able to connect SGS2 to PC via USB cable
Still having the recognition problem, however you can get around it a number if ways. Use Kies wifi to get files to your phone. Use mobile Odin to flash.
Highly recommend to pay the $2 for pro version, that way it will stay rooted.

After spending most of an afternoon trying to figure out how to get Heimdall to recognize my new phone ("Samsung USB Composite Device" was not turning up on the list of devices to install the driver for -- just 'Unrecognized device' turning up in device manager), I just came to the realization that I had it plugged in to my USB3 port. Switching to a USB2 port fixed everything.
Strange thing is, the rest of the phone works fine on the USB3 port -- just download mode won't connect on it.
Putting this here in the hopes anyone else struggling with this will spot it and give it a go.
@ OP
download mode works fine with USB3 + windows 7 64 bit.
USB 3 works and USB standard is backwards compatible anyway .
Was your USB port a mainboard port as SGS2 needs one not the often lower output on other ports .

Hey guys, quick question for those of you with the s5, and the usb 3.0 cable.
I am trying to transfer files from my windows 7 pc. with the usb 3.0 cable.
USB 2.0 works just fine, I switch over to usb 3.0, and the phone immediately dissapears from my pc.
Switch back to 2.0, and it reappears.
Is this happening to anyone else?
Maybe you have a faulty usb 3.0 cable. Try with a different usb 3.0 cable. If it's not the cable try on different computer. After that remains only one possibility: a faulty usb connector which means service. BTW you have usb 3.0 drivers installed on your w7?
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah i have a problem with the usb 3.0 too..
When i connect my phone via usb 2.0 it works fine but when i connect it via the usb 3,0 its still only shows up as a usb 2.0 device and the both only charge at 98ma :-/ brand new usb 3.0 cable. unistalled usb 3.0 drivers still no luck.

I've got this issue as well....
except when I attempt it on my work PC with W7 x64 it works in USB2.0 and USB3.0 mode. At home on my W7 x64 build it shows up under my computer in USB2.0 mode but disappears when switching to USB3.0 mode....
tried reinstalling drivers and all that jazz and no luck.
tried two USB3.0 cables and neither work on my home rig. i'm stumped
Plug in another USB 3.0 device such as a memory stick into your computer to determine whether the issue originates from the phone/USB cable or your computer. From what you described we cannot identify the root cause!

I had this issue too, then found it was my motherboard being the issue, i turned xHCI to on instead of auto (in the BIOS) and now when i connect my S5 with USB 3.0 cable the option for that mode will show on the phone.
Auto should work but it didn't seem to allow the S5 to trigger it, maybe because the S5 defaults to USB 2.0 and then you say to it to use USB 3.0
I do notice when switching modes the phone will vasish from the computer and then after a moment or 3 show up again

fiddled with bios settings on ASUS mobo... still no luck
a) Click on “Start” and Right Click on “Computer” and select “Manage”.
b) Now select “Device Manager” and Right Click on the individual “USB controller drivers” and select “Uninstall”.
c) Restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
if the cable is a cheap one that claimed to be usb 3.0 from eBay bin it and buy one from a decent retailer or Samsung
thanks for the ideas, tried device manager uninstall and reboot. still no luck. I"m using the provided samsung usb 3.0 cable so no issues there. very frustrating I cant use my phone connection to it's full potential

Old thread I know but here is what seems is the answer.
It seems when first connecting the usb it always defaults to usb2, but then can goto the usb settings on the phone afterwards and switch to media usb3 mode. I have not found a way to make it default to usb3 mode.

Appreciate the post but the issue wasnt actually switching into usb3 mode. That I knew how to do, it was that when I do switch the phone to USB3 mode it disappears from my file explorer and I cannot access the phone storage media unless I switch back to USB2 and then it pops up again in file explorer. I still havent found a solution and have come to the conclusion it is a hardware issue likely tied to my motherboard and have just accepted it and used it in it's limited form
I don't even see any option on my S5 to switch to USB3.....
Is this option device-specific?? I have the international version SM-G900H
Edit: never mind....the cable I had was a fake....
I tested my S5 with a cable from a USB 3.0 external hdd and it worked...

So are you saying that if the cable is faulty (or in other words, USB 3.0 is not achievable with the current connection) that the USB 3.0 option simply does not appear on the phone? That may explain why I am also only seeing MTP or PTP with a 3.0 cable and hub
Reading these replies and I still don't have a solution.
I have a Lenovo P50 ThinkPad and I normally connect my S5 via USB 2.0, but I'm wanting to transfer about 20gb of files off my microSD card to my machine. When I connect with 2.0, I can't even get the entire folder to show in the navigator window.
I tried to connect to the 3.0 ports, which I use with my external HDD with no problems. I'm even using the same cable.
And yes, it's a legit 3.0 cable.
Still no solution...
Did you find a solution?
Hello, I have both a new Galaxy S5 and a recently installed Windows 7 64bit PC.
I just bought an USB3 cable and tried it: when I plug the cable in an USB2 port, all works as expected (Windows warns the device can go faster if connected to an USB3 port); when I plug the cable to an USB3 port, the phone says connected to USB, message disappears, appears again and then definitely goes away (just charging); Windows says the device is not recognized.
I asked where I bought the cable and they changed it with a new one, but the effect is the same.
I tried installing latest Samsung USB drivers (1.5.51.0) without succcess.
The phone is not rooted.
Can you please assist in solving the problem?
Thank you!
USB 3.0 drivers installed for the motherboard?
How can I check? Windows says the device can go faster with USB3, maybe this means they are installed?
Go to your motherboard manufacturers website, drivers section, and look for USB3.0 drivers
For mine they are called ASMedia_USB3
Windows saying they can go faster with USB 3.0 just means windows has detected a USB3.0 device
Ok, I went to Lenovo Thinkpad download section and installed Interl USB3 drivers; I'm going to reboot
If that doesn't work, check your BIOS for USB3.0 settings, see if there is anything in there you can tweak
No luck...
I'm not sure it is on the PC side: I tried an USB3 mass storage device and it goes faster...
Maybe the cable is faulty then, or not up to USB3.0 standards
Is it a genuine S5 USB3.0 cable, or something from ebay or somewhere?
It is from "somewhere", but this is the second one with the same problem, chances are lower...
Second one from the same place?
Worth trying a genuine cable, the most likely culprit is a cheap cable from 'somewhere' rather than a PC or an S5
I'll try as soon as I find one!
What I wanted to check was if there's anything to "enable" on the phone or Windows.
Not that I know of, although I've not used a USB3.0 cable on my S5 yet - I haven't seen anything in the phone settings, and I know that my PC USB3.0 works fine without doing anything other than installing the drivers
@pdario
Please check you marked in phone 3.0 mod.
(when you plug to 3.0 usb port, you have option in phone to choose USB 3.0 mod)
Work?
The phone does not say it is connected to USB, it only shows it's charging.
So that the problem.
Unistall all android devices drivers you have, then plug the galaxy s5
How can I uninstall all the drivers? Where do I find them?

Use a USB 2.0 port. I had that problem because my laptop doesn't have a USB 2.0 port (only USB 3).
If like me your laptop doesn't have a USB 2 port, then use a different laptop, or desktop, or USB hub (doesn't matter if the hub is plugged in the USB3 port as long as the plug's ports are USB2).
This took me a while to figure out, so I thought I'd spare you guys the pain of trial and error.

I'm using OpenSuse (gnu-linux) as my main operating system, but Windows (on the same pc) gave me the exact same results. So I doubt it's a drivers issue. In any case, I'm glad you didn't have to use a USB hub like some of us less lucky folks ?
