Galaxy S22 Ultra USB connecting to computer issues

Dragon_ — Mon, 20 Jun 2022 12:24:58 GMT

Hi.

I have just received my S22 Ultra and so far I am loving it, but I have an issue connecting it to my computer for file transfer.

I connect it the puter and it starts to charge, but that's it. There is no pop up asking what you want to do, No idea why or where to look for an answer..

Also, I want my home screens to carousel, but they don't.

Can anyone help with these issues?

Thanks

Tracy

Look in File Manager for a "drive" named as your Galaxy.

If your using Win7 or 10 upwards then your need to let the PC to load the Drivers for the Phone, it will probably want to Install the USB Drivers so you can use the Phone as a Removable Storage, it may also Install the Phone as a USB Modem so you can Tether direct from the Phone.

Depending on the Sammy Phone Build Firmware you may also need to activate Developer Mode and then configure USB Debugging or USB Configuration.

If youve tried too many attempts of connecting the Phone via USB and it hasn't loaded the Driver for the Phone then you can try a different USB Port and or Connect the Phone and reboot the PC and leave it to fully Boot Up.

I'm using Win 11.

I've checked 3 different cables, (all 3 work with my Huawei), Will only connect the S22 as a charger.

I've also enabled the USB debugging.

I can transfer files via bluetooth, but only files, not folders.

It's so much easier via USB.. So any other thoughts you could share.. please and thank you!

Hi @Dragon_

Make sure your phone is unlocked (on the home screen) and then plug in the cable to your phone. You will hear windows bleep and a pop up in your phone will say allow this. Device access to your files - click yes and then the windows auto driver installation will activate asking you what you want to do etc.

If you click on the quick settings when connected you can enter the USB settings

Thanks

Hi @Dragon_

By carousel do you mean dynamic?

Look under settings wallpaper services - lockscreen wallpaper services.

Thanks

Hi..

After I plug the cable into the S22, for a split second I get the 'Charging' window, then it goees to the home screen..

In the pull down menu, it is listed as 'Cable Charging' And no popup.

I've tried 3 diff cables.

It's quite weird!

I just had a look at the dynamic thing, and that's not what I mean..

If I have 3 screens, I can swipe right or left and just keep swiping, it goes round and around.

As it is now, when you hit the last screen, you can't swipes, and have to go the opposite direction.. I bet that was as plain as mud!!

Hi @Dragon_

Click on cable charging and then it takes you into USB settings. Then make sure the settings are same as the second image.

Thanks

H @Dragon_

I think I know what you mean. Two part answer. Currently you cannot have this option on your home screens (annoyingly) unless you use another launcher.

You can however have this option for your apps draw but you need to download Good Lock and then Home up from the galaxy store (not play store). You can then activate loop pages under home screen.

Thanks

Hi again

I've installed Nova launcher, whilst it does exactly what I want to, it doesn't seem to like any other themes...

Life is so hard these days! 😂

Thanks

Hi @Dragon_

It's a bit strange how Samsung never implemented this feature without the Good Lock app. Seems like a sensible feature that is missing.

Installing another launcher will always give you plus and minus benefits.

Thanks

The same thing happened with my Huawei a couple of months ago.. You could spin your screens all day long, then an update happened, and they stopped it..

Will definitely check Good Lock out.. Incidently, I was watching some YT vids last night and there was a guy who recommended the 'One Hand Operation +' You can have widgets in a separate screens that overlays your home screen...

Anywhoway..

Thanks for your help

Hmmm.. Well that didn't last long..

I plugged the S22 back into the computer and it's back to charge only... Clicking on the 'Cable Charging' in the drop down down takes me to the Battery area...

Confused...

I've resorted to doing a factory reset on my phone, and... Same problem, will only connect for charging only. (USB debugging is checked and Transfer files selected...

Thanks

Hi @Dragon_

Why are you activating USB debugging as that is not available unless you are activating the hidden developer options.

If you have the settings above as per my image and when unlocked you connect the cable it will automatically connect and ask you if you want to use Dex. The only reason this doesn't happen is if your cable is faulty or you've changed a setting.

Thanks

Hi @Northerner

I turned USB Debugging on originally because the phone wasn't connecting to my puter.

As I was searching the internet for a remedy that wwould fix this issue a few sites and videos suggested enabling it.

But it doesn't matter whether it's enabled or not, the phone just won't connect.

In the notification area there is the 'cable charging', when you click that, instead of the 'transfer files, transfer photos, it takes me to the battery page..

I'm at a loss...

Thanks

I also tried it with my other computer, and it does the same thing. (clicking 'cable Charging' takes me to the battery page)
