Help !!

 

My pc no longer recognises my s6 after the recent android update, when the usb cable is connected it now just charges the phone , no connection notification appears on the phone or pc. and kies obviously doesnt see that i have connected the phone

 

I have changed the usb configuration to debugging on and usb is set to mtp in the settings and i have factory reset the phone but it is still the same.

 

The lead is fine as my tablet still connects without issue.

 

samsung s6 - sm-g920f

android 6.0.1

 

any help appreciated !

 

thanks

 

dave

That's really strange and I'm wondering if your port has any damage?
As Bambino suggests, I'd contact Samsung for them to have a look at phone as you seem to have proved it's definitely a handset issue.

Most USB chargers should work.If you have another with a mini-usb plug then I would try that to rule any port problems. Also a bit of guff in the ports can effect the connection.

I'm sure we'd have heard many complaints if it was a direct result of the update.
I suspect an unfortunate coincidence.

You are still in mtp mode after the factory reset?
In your first post you said you had selected mtp and then factory reset so did you set mtp again afterwards?
