[Q] Windows 8 not recognising S4 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I know this is a little more about my computer but I don't really know where I should post this so pardon me ><. I recently changed my computer and its running win8 now. I plug in my phone and kies can't recognise it. Any suggestions ppl??

I run Windows 8.1 and the news version of kies. No problem here I would try uninstalling kies and download the newest version and reinstall it again. Remember to uninstall the Samsung USB drivers also before reinstalling.

It can be something else too.If you use windows 8.1 N edition you need to know that this specific version of windows lack media drivers like MTP etc.It really easy to solve this.just do a really quick search in google and you will find the official packages from microsoft to solve this problem.

[USB Driver] Original Samsung Driver Package ICS 1.4.103.0

After updating my SGS2 to ICS I spend hours for searching USB-drivers-only-package for ICS.
I hate software-overhead like Kies. So I extracted the USB-Driver-Package.
Have fun!

Don't know but these drivers should work on x64 too.
I only found one version of Kies. No special x64 build.

Thats right. The package contains the Samsung Drivera for all mobile phones. But older versions didnt work with ICS.

No. I had to install the new one. The older version I had was something with 1.3.x... i'm not sure if this is absolutely correct.

ok it downloaded the samsung drivers from internet win8 ftw
Any mirrors available? this is the most frustrating site ever to get a download if you dont have premium account and are forced on IE You get the popup saying allow the download, select it, and then every attemtp to download after that says you're at your limit! Want to get USB on my work PC, IE only, and can't install Kies lol

Install samsung kies on your PC.
And you're in the wrong forum.

Sir, you posted in the wrong device forum, but a fix would be uninstall any drivers on the or for the device reinstall, also download an updated or fresh set of drivers.

[HELP] Windows won't detect g2 MTP Driver

Please help guys... My laptop running on windows 7 x64 won't detect my G2 as it said 'failed' when it tried to install the driver...:crying:
I already search all over the web and have tried them all.. but no luck.. :crying:
I've found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507281 , OP said to choose USB Composite Device instead of USB MTP device when choosing the driver manually.. But I can't find that USB Composite Device driver as I already installed the latest LG United Mobile Driver from here http://g2-lg.com/lg-g2-android-usb-drivers-pc-sync-software-pc-suite-lg-osp/
But still,, the option to choose that 'USB Composite Device' is nowhere can be found..
Now I can't connect my G2 until now and I'll be finished if someday I got problem and cannot restore my G2 to stock again.. :crying:
I attached my situation below..

I have always had issues with the drivers as well so I moved onto Wireless WiFi connections. Below is an app that will allow you to do this.

Does anyone still have the XP drivers?

Well I am trying to install XP on the shift for a friend. Unfortunately all links and torrents with the XP drivers are dead.
I searched so long and found "Most" of them. However, loads of stuff still isn't working, namely SD, WLAN, Bluetooth, buttons and so on.
So if anyone has the driver package - or even that "Windows post install" (WPI) package i would be very grateful. Many thanks in advance.
i am also looking for this. If i find something i will post here !
