Ah then you'll have to install Kies which installs the USB driver package
seems odd as it has been working as a plug and play device up until today?
what i dont understand is that even if installing kies works, will i have to do this to every pc i use my phone on from now on?
it seems rather bizarre that the phone has had plug and play storage accessability since the day i had it but now it suddenly wont.
the fact it is doing it on many seperate computers running a variety of OS means it surely has to be the handset?
might be worth a google, that driver is part of windows rather than for the phone.
Here is just one solution. I would delete the file, just rename it.

have you turned on usb debugging?
yup, made no difference. still wont connect or recognise. installing keis now to see if it makes any difference. if not, then the phone may have to go back.

just installed keis
tried to install the device drivers for the phone and it is still coming up with driver installation failures
errors showing cdc and mtp still not installed.
not really something I would expect from a £500 smartphone.
I don't think it's the phone, more your Windows and some driver confusion/corruption perhaps.
I assume you've tried it in another PC? I had the same problem on my S2 months ago once but that randomly fixed itself some days later.

From what ive seen in videos so far, as long as your tv supports DLNA you can add it as a device and connect to it. However there is limited videos out there which show it so that may be wrong.
Well I have unlimited systems and four s3s including mine to test it out with.
If it works in the other phones but not mine then it has to be my phone. I will just have to send it back for a replacement if the other phones work as it eliminates it being a driver problem.
I just don't see this being the pc. It wouldn't be happening on different computers.
For fear of it being lost

:Any way to make the S3 show as removable storage on the PC?
I use SyncbackPro to sync various things (FTP etc) and one of them is to sync my media folders (music, video, photos) between PC and phone. Syncback doesn't see the S3 when it is in MTP or Camera mode as it shows as a device as opposed to a removable storage drive
Could do it on my Desire no probs....
Download and install the usb drivers separately, you can get them on xda I believe in a tools package.
has any one returned a phone to vodafone before ? im starting to notice a horrid yellowish tint around the middle of the screen,its very distracting when viewing white web pages,ive been reading on XDA that some ppl have had the pink tint issue and sent their phone back
Im debating sending this back to vodafone for a replacement,id hate to be with out it for more than a few days but the problem is really playing on my mind , any one know if vodafone are quick for replacemements or will they take ages or even refuse to replace it ? ive had the phone around 2 weeks now but only really noticed the issue within the last week so im not sure if the wee stain has always been there or gradually got worst ther more ive used the screen

The official samsung image can't mount as USB but you could mount it as an SMB share over wifi using an app if that would be an OK substitution? There's tons of apps for this on the market.For fear of it being lost
CSA - If you're near a shop I'd go in and talk to them about it, shops tend to be better at this type of thing.
thanks ! silly question but because i bought the phone through mobiles.co.uk will i have to deal with them about the phone or just vodafone ?
