<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>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>

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

I take your point but I it works ok on 3 other very similar
machines. The XUbuntu family is quite big at our place. My Desktop
XUbuntu has three sisters, a www server (mentioned before) and two
others, an IBM laptop my wife uses, and a media machine hooked up to
our Samsung HD TV. All three of Desktop sisters load the phone OK.
The phone now goes through to the proper screen and does the formal
request to logon 'do you want to connect?' on the GUI and stays
logged in with the proper 'do you want to exit?' screen showing.
This is an improvement.<br>
The command 'lsusb' shows this<br>

<br>
I am guessing the Phone is OK (works with three other very similar
computers) and the Desktop USB physical/electrical connection is ok
(other devices Microsoft Keyboard and mouse and Arduino work fine),
and part of the Phone connection being recognised (the phone goes
through the same steps as on other three computers), but the filing
system in the Desktop is somehow corrupted or has an incompatible
setting. Apart from USB memory sticks not working in the front USB
ports, I am not having any other filing system problems.<br>
