Windows 7 recognizes that my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 was plugged into a USB port, the hardware insert sound was made, but Windows 7 refuses to show the device in my computer. I tried right clicking in the my computer explorer windows and selecting refresh but it still won't show up. the tablet is selected to connect as a media device but still nothing. a bit of searching around found results with people having an issue with android devices not recognized by Windows and not showing up in my computer and people having driver issues causing it to not show up, but the driver is there, the computer recognizes that the device is plugged in. If I tell the tablet to connect another way like for example as a camera, Windows immediately goes into installing the driver, but after the driver is installed, it still doesn't show up in my computer. What could be the problem here?
Because wifi is slower than a direct transfer. uploading I only get maybe 20 kb a second. And I am sure it is just as an equivalent as uploading files. I learned that with team viewer to move files from one computer to another. it is much faster usb
With the Tablet plugged in and turned on, go to Start/Search and type devmgmt.msc. Right click the devmgmt results and Run As Administrator. In the Elevated Device Manager, are there any devices with yellow flags? or under Universal Serial Bus Controllers is there an Unknown Device? If so, right click it and Uninstall it. Now remove the tablets USB cable from the Computer end and restart the computer. When the desktop computer comes back up, plug the USB cable into the Back USB port not the front or through a Hub as these ports are weaker. You should get the New Hardware message. If using a laptop, use a different USB port.
You can also go to Start/Search and type diskmgmt.msc, right click the diskmgmt results and Run As Administrator. In the Elevated Disk Management window is your tablet listed in the lower pane?
