<div dir="ltr">When my Samsung (which I could download from easily, died and I couldn't find my spares to repair it I opened my wallet(!!!) and bought another second-hand one (I like the I9000 and don't even all the bells and whistles on this one, let alone even more on a more modern phone). This one simply fails to download in the same way as yours, whereas I'd never had trouble with my previous phone in this way. I'm very suspicious of the micro-USB socket and hardware. One of my two chargers works fine, the other only makes intermittent contact, whereas both were fine with the previous two phones of the same type. It's not important enough for me to bother with replacing the micro-USB socket and its related hardware as I can just whip the memory chip out and download it on one of our laptops which has a built in socket for this. It's irritating though and I'll probably have a fiddle when I get time, to see if this is the case.<div><br></div><div>I run Windows (Vista) Apple and Xubuntu laptops and none can interrogate the chip, or even see it, although the Samsung is aware it's connected to a computer. I just wonder if it's a bad or broken contact in that micro-USB socket...</div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div><br></div><div>David Walland</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 3 August 2015 at 13:52, Andrew Diamond <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:adiamond1978@gmail.com" target="_blank">adiamond1978@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">This is probably the first thing you tried, but have you tried on ALL available USB ports? I was scratching my head for sometime, trying to connect my S4 to my machine unsuccessfully. Finally, one day I tried a usb port on the other side of the machine, and like magic, it worked. Why, I dunno, but I do know the first ports I tried always have power, even with the machine off. Those ports work fine for everything else. In my case, I was setting up to use with Android Studio/adb, which did involve setting up a udev file (device was in developer mode).</p>
