When using our Samsung mobile phone, we often connect it to our PC. In some cases, we may want to transfer files from one to another, for example. There are a number of options available for those experiencing the frustration that your Samsung mobile is not recognized by your PC. There are several options available for those who encounter this problem. In no time, you will be able connect your mobile to the PC once everything has been settled.
Your computer does not always recognize your mobile phone. This can also happen with any Android phone, not just Samsung Galaxy models. It is usually a temporary or compatibility problem, but in some situations it occurs due to a communication failure. When we connect the mobile to the PC, everything usually goes well, but there are times that we encounter a problem like this, which is very annoying. There are some solutions to deal with this situation. If we try these solutions, we will see that the problem is fixed in no time.
Cable
El cable that we use to connect our PC to our Samsung phone may be the cause of the problem. It may be the reason my phone is not recognized by my PC. It is important to use the correct cable when connecting devices, especially when connecting a PC to a mobile phone. If we use a cable that has been used in other devices, it is likely to have interference that prevents its operation.
Therefore, the PC will not recognize the phone. We can check by replacing the cable to see if the PC can recognize the phone or not. If the cable is changed, we should be able to establish a normal connection between the devices.
Reboot both devices
The PC is not detecting this phone because the two devices, the PC and the phone, are not establishing the connection correctly. In this scenario, the problem is somewhat simple. When the computer and the phone they restart, one or both of them may fail, making this connection impossible. When both devices restart, we can fix the problem by restarting them. In this case, we restart both devices again and then try to establish the connection once more.
When devices work again, we connect the cable and try again. The connection usually works after the PC detects and recognizes the phone, allowing us to transfer files between the two.
Connection method
There are several options for connection available when we connect our phone to a PC. For example, we may want to transfer files between devices. These methods are what we see on the screen when we connect the phone to the PC. On certain occasions, we may not be able to perform the method we want or it may not work.
Under these circumstances, it is best quickly disconnect the mobile and reconnect it. When we reconnect it, we will see a menu on the screen with a list of available connection options. It is possible that now we can perform the task that we want or that we want to do. It won't take long and it will almost always be successful.
Drivers
It is crucial to be aware of the software at all times. For example, your PC's drivers may be outdated or may not work with the cable you are using. It is also possible that the application is the wrong one or is out of date. These problems occur regularly when using a Samsung device, which could be the reason why the PC does not recognize it.
You can install the app Samsung SyndeSync on your Windows or Mac computer by following this link. The use of the official application guarantees the correct functioning of our Windows computers.
It is also beneficial check if the drivers are up to date. It is good to see periodically if there are fresh versions of the applications that we have installed, especially if we have downloaded them from the official website. If these drivers are not up to date, the phone may not be detected when connected to the computer via a cable, as in this case.
Wireless transfer
The Samsung phones connected to Windows have become smarter, thanks to their joint effort. This connection allows many Samsung mobiles to connect to a Windows PC wirelessly, which can help us in this situation. Therefore, we can avoid all connectivity or cable problems with this method. For example, we can use it to send photos from one device to another.
There is a single button on the mobile device's settings panel that activates Windows Connection, allowing the PC to recognize the mobile device and pair it wirelessly. After activating it, we can copy images from the PC to the mobile using the DeX application, for example. This function makes things easier for us, consequently. It is necessary to have the My Windows Phone app installed on the PC or use Samsung DeX.
Make sure your PC and mobile are connected to the same WiFi network at home or in the office, or this photo transfer process will not be possible. You will then be able to transfer photos as you normally would.
USB debugging
Before you can establish a adb connection with your device, you need to enable USB debugging. If you don't enable USB debugging, you will never be able to establish an ADB connection with the device. This option is for developers and advanced users, so you should only use it if you are aware of what you are doing or have, or may have problems with your device. You can enable this feature by following these steps:
- Activate the developer menu on your phone by going to System in Settings.
- Then tap on the Android version repeatedly about 7-10 times. And you will be shown a message informing you that said menu will be activated.
- In Settings you will now have Developer Options or Developer Options. Enters.
- Then in the menu look for the USB Debugging option and activate its switch.
- Once done, you can now reconnect the Samsung smartphone to the PC and select the USB Debugging mode in the options that appear on the screen.
It is something that we must use with care, as we have said. It is a system that gives us several options, but we must be careful. Those who are very experienced should avoid it, because it is easy to mess up and have a detrimental effect on the phone.
